THE BRIDGE CASE.
The motion for a new trial in the

the jurymen on the case were present
and were put on the witness stand, but
only one of them, Joseph Wally of Hil

The case was continued until to
morrow a week, Oct. 6th, at which
time, Mr. Anderson, the Beaver county
man who Mr. Wally savs approached
him in the ice-cream parlor, is to be
present.
The only amuising feature of the hpar

that he lay down on the floor at 9
o'clock, and slept soundly till 6 o'clock
next morning—this while the war
waged, all night, between the High and
the Low men.

Railroad Xotes.
Freight shipments over the main line
of the Pennsylvania railroad between
Pittsburg and New York last week
broke all records for a like period in
the history of the system. In the niatti r
of the number of cars moved it was the
greatest week that has ever been
known, not only on the Pennsylvania
but on any other road in the United
States or Europe. The total of daily
movements on ttoe three main line divi
sions of the lines east of Pittsburg hov
ered close to 20.000 cars, and in one in
stances a maximum for one day ship
ments was reached when the cotnpain
handled 22,280 cars. This represents
the total shipment for one day over the
Pittsburg, middle aud Philadelphia
divisions.
The New York Central has decided
to spend more thans4 700,000 in reliv
ing all the main line tracks with liH)_
pouuds rails. Orders for 85.000 tons of
rails have been placed and the work of
laying them has been staited The
action marks a new era in the opera
tion of railroads. Only last year the
company was busy renewing old rail?
with the 85-pound type, and now these
are to be replaced with still heavier
ones This will require 170,000 tons of
rails, all of which will be purchased in
this country except 25,000 tons, which
are to be secured in Canada for the
Michigan Central lines there.

A County Institution With a
Good Record.
September 17th, 1905. the Butler
County Merchants Mutual Fire Insur
ance Company was three years old, and
the Board of Directors feel proud that
in that time it has called upon its policy
holders for but one assessment to pay a
fire loss. Paying the loss it had with
the promptness it did spoke well for the
Company at the time; as it had been do
ing business but 105 days and had less
than $170,000.00 of insurance written
up when it met with a loss of #0,000.00
which was paid in full 30 days after the
nre,
On June Ist, 1905, it passed the half
million mark and from present indica
tions the one million mark will be
reached before a great while as hardly
a day passes but what it has inquiries
and applications.
The consei vative uourso they pursue
in selecting their risks keeps the busi
ness down to a slow but healthy growth
as they have rejected more than SIOO,-
000 00 worth of business that might
have cost them considerable more in
fire loss than what they have been call
ed upon to meet in the past three years.
The Board of Directors ask a continu
ance of yoar liberal patronage that
has enabled them to make for the Com
pany such a good record during the past
three years.
