The survey provides for a four-track road between Fifth ave nue station and the Allegheny Valley road. The drawings and maps of the survey have been sent to Chief Ensineer H. Brown,of the Pennsylvania Rail road company, at Philadelphia. Whether the route as outlined by the en/;ii»»ers will eventually be adopted will depend upon the judgment of Mr. B'own and that of the councils of Pittsburg. Incidentally it may be mentioned that if the proposed line is bnilt it will form a connecting link by means of which the Pennsylvania railroad in terests will have a complete belt line around Pittsburg. The line will be two miles long and will have a grade of 74 feet to the mile. Not a street is to be cr wed at grade. P- S— "I made no such promises."— John M. Greer. PEBSONAL.

Allegheny Co. made a sweeping decision last week on the right of railroads to condemn dwelling honses heretofore held exempt. Judge Brown holds that the Constitution of 1874 supercedes the acts of 18-19 and 1808 in which dwelling houses are held in violable and in which the consent of a municipality is held superior to a railroad's right of eminent domain. It is probable that the decision will Ist taken to a higher court, but as it stands it affects favorably e\ery railroad in Pennsylvania. In particular ii removes one more obstacle in the way of the Wabash —the uncertain factor in Pittsburg Councils. The decision was made in the in junction suit of Andrew Paton against the Pittsburg, Carnegie & Western railroad. The latter filed a bond to protect the property of Paton on Cas tor and .Journal streets, through which the railroad will run about 15 feet from the plaintiff's house. Paton demanded SB,OOO for the property and the railroad did not believe it to be worth that Snit for SIO,OOO has been entered in common pleas court No. it, Pittsburg, by Cora B.

The work of tearing down the build ings on f he lots recently purchased by the Butler County National Bank began last week and is now going on. Anions the buildings that had to give way, and are now to be seen no more, was the old CITIZEN office, in which this paper was published for just thirtv years. It was purchased by John H i Xeglev, its late owner, in 1*72. 1 The late Jacob Mechling. Jr. erected ( it about the year 1846. as an addition to j the old hotel of his father. Jacob Mech- j ling. Sr. which hotel was one of the fin- j est in Butler and was famed far and near as one very well kept and largely patronized. ! Another building being torn down to | make room for the new bank is the , brick part of said old Mechling hotel j ! property, adjoining the old CITIZEN of- j I fice and recently owned and occupied i |by John M. Thompson and son. The ! | exact age of this building is not known, j but it is supposed to have been erected by \ the elder Mechling about the >ear 1810, making it therefore about ninety years old. It was in this house that General LaFayt-tte was lodged, and where he stopped during his visit here in 1524. j (t was one of the very oldest brick | structures of the town. ; The tearing do*ru of these old timers j created a good deal of interest, and il lustrates the progres- of the age as well |as the rapid growth of our town. The ' new building that is to stand on their I ground will be a six stoiied stone and j brick, and will be the first of that | heiiihth erected in Butler. Sensation in Council. At the meeting of Council. Tuesday . evening, Messrs Cornelias, tiibson and Meals were appointed a Committee to investigate the current reports of bribery in connection with the late awards of paring contracts—the allega tion being that the Brady Run buck people were favored with a monopoly, at $1,150 per thousand extra, for which they paid certain members of Council and go-betweens the sum of SI,OOO. The bids for paving W. North street were opened, hut the contract wr.s not awarded. An ordinance was passed opening W. Wayne street across the "Island," though it was vigorously disputed by Mr. Knit and others. Ordinance were passed for paving part of Brady street and the Brown Ave. extension, and then Council re solved to pave no more this year. Some motions were considered, some bills passed, and then Council adjourned until next evening. Robinson's Show. hog is a hog and nothing but a hog"—but at the Robinson show they have a team of bogs, and a ring of liogs, that they make do all sorts of tricks; the poor little seals from the North sea have t'> play smart for what they get to eat, and the monster elephant and the little elephants from the tropical forests are forced to stand on their heads and do other undignified things—all to satisfy the human craving for novelty. These things with a tremendous spread of canvass, an immense pile of lumber, rojies, horses, wild animals i-ages, wagons, and three or four hun dred men, women and children- all of whom have a job—make the modern aggregation called a "Show"—the one here last Friday—John Robinson's—be ing a good specimen of the lot.
