—Engineers of the Pennsylvania
Railroid company have completed their
preliminary survey of the new railroad
to run from the Fifth avenno station,
at the entrance to the East Liberty
stock yard, Pittsburg, in the East .end,
across country north to the Allegheny
Valluv railroad ar.d thence by bridge
across the Allegheny river to connect
with the West Penn railroad at
Guj asuta Btation. 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.

Judge Marshall Brown, in Common
Pleas Court No. 1. 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. Davis against Theodore N.
Barnsdall, one of the best known and
wealthiest oil operators in tho state.
She demands the money upon an alleg
ed contract in favor of herself and
child.
Mr. Barnsd.ill is married but lives
apart from his wife, who also resides in
Pittsburg. Several years ago he sued
his wife for divorce, but failed toobtain
a decree. The quarter sessions court
ordered him to pay her SSO per month
for support.

The 01« l "Citizen" Office.
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.

Some motions were considered,
some bills passed, and then Council

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

When I Say That
The Davis Sewing Machine leads all
others, it is not merely to fill a column
with an advertisement. I mean that no
wun an advertisement, i mean mat no
other machine is so simple' I mean
that no other machine is so finely made!
And that no other machine is so easily
run! The "Davis" is i>olislied like a
watch; it will not kill a woman to rut:
it: it will do mole than double the
variety of work, without basting, than
any other machine can do. All other
sewing-machine men acknowledge this,
but sayp, "Our's is the cheapest." But
I say that to buy a cheap sewing ma
chine is not economy. The best is al
ways the cheapest. I also sell Behr
