Samuel ShafFner's large barn on the plank road a mile south of town was de stroyed by fire at noon Monday. Mr. Shalfner and his son had just came in from the fields tor dinner, put their team in the barn for feed, and gone into the house. A few minutes later some of the children who had gone out into the yard to play ran in and said the straw stack was on fire. The stack stood against the barn and it was a mass of flames when the men reached it The live-stock was saved but all the crops from two farms, making nearlj 500 bushels of grain, farm machinery and a phaeton were destroyed. Mr. Shaffner's house directly across the road was on fire once and could not have been saved but for its tin roof. There was a little insur i ance on the barn but none on the con [ tentents and the loss is about SIOOO. Two men drove rapidly down the plank road past the house just as the fire was discovered, but did not deign I to stop and help, and some think they were perhaps there before the fire start ed.

OVER THE FENCE OCT. 22. The man who appreciates a good, wholesome laugh, embellished with all the frills of unmistakable enjoyment, is offered the latest farce comedy, "Over the Fence." In presenting this piece to the American public, the management admits that it is built solely for the purpose to amuse, and while there is a ■ plot to bo ic.lhwed. it is not of sncli magnitude that the auditor will lose any needed rest in the endeavor to kee i track of the same. While there has been added novelties foreign to farce comedy and of an interesting nature in themselves, it has at the same time been borne in mind that the author in tended his play to be produced in such form as to give scope for all that was intended for it. Grand Opera House, Pittsburg. i , The week of October 22nd will wit , ness the presentation at the Grano j Opera House, Pittsburg, of ' Rosemary' one of John Drew's notable successes t > few years ago. Like all of Mr. Drew's . plays, it is clever and refined. At the . same time it tells a pretty story, beauti . fully set iu a romatic background Few plays have so sweet au atmos phere surrounding them This play is widely different from the thrilling drama tliat is proving such a success at the Grand this week. "The Song of the Sword" is full of life, action, plot and counter plot. If you want that Picture framed by an expert, bring it to 130 N.

THE largest contract for steel rails ever made at one time was awarded by the Pennsylvania Railroad Cotnpanv to six manufacturing steel companies last Friday. The amount is 150,000 tons and the price iss'2'*> per toa. Almost at the same time as the Pennsylvania r.iil road made its contract award, contracts for 90,000 tons of rails at the same price were made by the other railroad systems with the same companies. The Balti more & Ohio railroad tooH 40,000 tons, the Chesapeake <S:Ohio took 25,000 tons, and the Norfolk <fc Western railroad 25,000 tons. The steel companies among which the contracts are divided are the Lacka wanna Steel Company of Scranton the Federal Steel Company of Chicago, the Carnegie Company of Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania Steel Company of Harris burg, the National Steel Company of Youngstown, and tae Cambria Steel Company of Johnstown. The P. & W. R. R. is to be equipped with new and heavier engines. The next great work to be undertaken on this line is the Baker stown short cut. surveyed some two years ago by Chief Engineer Paul Didier. This provided for an easy grade and will eliminate considerable curvature 011 the main line. It will start about two miles below Bakerstown aud will intersect the old line near Val encia. Some deep cuts, heavy fills and a tunnel will be necessary, but the work will make the P. & W. one of the greatest of Pittsburg lines and will en able the through trains to make faster time between Pittsburg and Akron. The executive officers of the Balti more & Ohio railroad Monday assumed formal control of the Pittsburg & Western railway system af the first an nual meeting that has been convened in two years. This ends the long, interesting and brilliant struggle for possession of the valuable Iron ore route. President John K. Cowen of the Baltimore & Ohio was chosen Pres ident and appointed receiver, and the ab solute absorption of the important prop erty. free from the receivership, now only awaits the completion of the plans of the Reorganization Committee of the Baltimore & Ohio Not the least im portant event of the day was the retire ment from active railroading, after a brillant career of 25 years in Western Pennsylvania, of President Thomas M. King, one of the most prominent rail road officials and financiers in the country. —Dispatch. A Wedding in Youngstown.
