The Lehigh Valley Railroad to Enter
Williamsport,
The Lehigh Valley railroad has for
some tune been seeking an outlet which
would bring it into Williamsport and it is
believed now that it has almost accom
plished its end. The executors of the
estate of John Satterfield, of Buffalo, the
practical owners of the Williamsport &
North Branch railroad extending from
Satterfield to Ilalls, have decideded to
dispose of the property. The necessary
legal steps have been taken, and all parties
interested are agreed upon the sale.
The executors of the Satterfield estate
have received an ofTer of $450,000 for the
road, $50,000 of which was to be paid
down; they refused to state the name of
the purchaser, but it is believed to be the
Lehigh Valley railroad. This purchase
will secure for that road its own tracks as
far as Hall's and entrance to William
sport from that over the Philadelphia
and Reading tracks. It would have an
other effect, also, in that it would check
mate the projectors of the road from Bing
hamton to Williamsport which was to
use the Will'aiiisporl and North Branch
as part ot its system.
The Lehigh Valley would find this |
branch a valuable feeder, both in freight
and passenger business and would give it !
access to and business Irom a portion of" ]
the State which it does not now touch. ;

I'tagcd Till He Stopped Klekl>(.
A case of youthful depravity has re
cently come to public notice at Turn
ers Falls, Mass. It appears that several
boys from "Tough end," who had
beard the particulars of the execution
of O'Neil, included to try one of their
number L the crime of murder. An
empty frel,_ t car was used aa a court
room, and ine trial proceeded with
ludge, Jury, and full complement of
officers.
After the trial, in which the accused
was found guilty, the sentence of death
was pronounced upon the accused, and
preparations taken to carry out the
decree of the court. The death watch
was set and a gallows improvised in
the car. When the time drew near for
the execution the condemned boy was
mounted upon a box and the noose ad
lusted. The box was knocked out
from under his feet, and the victim
was told that when he stopped kick
ing he would be cut down. He was
soon unable to kick, and the break
ing of the rope probably saved the
boy's life. Some little time was re
quired to bring the boy around.
The ages of the boys are given as
from 10 to 15, and the victim's age was
about 12. The matter has been kept
very quiet, and it was only by accident
that the affair became known.

The fincs.t spectacle the close of the
nineteenth ecu my could witness would
be the noninterference of the powers of
Europe while Greece sailed in and
'ought it OMt to a finish with Turkey.
It must be an uprush of their own
subliminal consciousness that is causing
so many estimable citizens just now to
consider themselves exactly fitted for
political preferment.
The reply of tlio Greek minister of
foreign affairs to the remonstrance of
the European powers against Hellenic
occupation of Crete is a sentence that
will become historic, "Greece accepts
full responsibility for ull her acts."

| Cream Separators. I
The Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station.
MADISON, WIS., July 1.,, 1897.
In conducting our Dairy School, we have had occasion to use the various sizes
of Improved t. S. Separators for dairy instruction during several winters past.
Our students have always been pleased with the operation of these Separators,
and we find that they skim the milk very clean indeed from fat, and that they
are generally very satisfactory.
W. A. HENRY, Dean College of Agriculture.
B Cornell University Experiment Station.
ITHACA. N. Y., November 15, ISQ7.
We have used the V. S. Separators for the past four or five years, and have
found them at all times efficient and reliable. They are easily cleaned and kept
in order, and can be depended upon for satisfactory work.
H. H. WING, Prof. Dairy Husbandry.
Massachusetts Agricultural College.
AMHERST, MASS.,JuIy 7, itgj.
We regard the Improved United States Separator as one of the verv best all
round machines. In cleanness of skimming it surpassed all the others. It
compares favorably with the rest in capacity. Our man calls it the smoothest
running machine we have, although it has been in use nearlv three years—a
good comment on its wearing qualities. F. S. COOLEV, Prof, of Ag't.
Michigan Experiment Station.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE:, MICH., Jan. »?, I£QR.
Your No. r Separator was received, set up, und has been operated daily since
the 4th of January. Kach of our dairy boys has now had a turn at it, setting it
up, running it, washing it, and testing the skim-milk. They all like the machine,
on account of its easy running and simplicity. We are running through milk
12 to 24 hours old, warmed to over 8 j and usually about 90 degrees. The per
cent, of fat in the skim-milk, so far as reported, will not reach on the average
a tenth of a per cent., and often is too small to read, in the skim-milk bottle. We
are pleased with the machine in every possible way, as far as we have been able
to observe it iu a month's use.

BURLINGTON, VT„ June A;, 1897. F
It has been the uniform custom of the officers of the Vermont Station to
decline to issue letters of a testimonial nature. I may say, however, that I can
and do refer parties inquiring reßarding the merits of"the Improved United
States Separators to the records of the running of the same as published in our
report for IBQ 4 .

AMES, IOWA, Jan. 35, IS9?.
Your two machines havo been here in uso for some time and arc doing
excellent work.
We have succeeded in skimming over a,600 pounds per hour, and as close as
0.07 of one per cent, of fat left in skim-milk, with the larger machine. This we
consider Excellent work for the winter. The small machine also does good
work. G. L. McKAY, State Dairy Instructor, lowa Ag'l College. iVH
