Of CMiirse, our re;1.;! M.vill ex
pect us t, s.iy soiilei i.in;,- about
our new railroad. We do not
know a wh-'-l-' lot iiin.ii i., but
have reason to b.dieve That we
shall not have to wait much loii-
for a realisation of our for
mer dreams ol lMiii'iis great
ness.
On Sunday, mi'nt have been
en along the road from Han
cock to McConiiellsburg a young
fellow riding a bicycle. There
was nothing in his appearance to
attract sttt"nlion; and farmers
aloii"'the road, if they uave hiai
the second .thought, would con
clude that it was some one from
Hancock over on Pennsylvania
roads learning to ride his wheel.
Well, the wheelman reach"d Me
Connellsburg, brushed tiie dust
off his clothes, and modestly in
troduced himself as 11. 1.1. Woods.
Mr. Woods is the Industrial
Agent of tlie Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, is a most
genial gentl"ieaii, and thorough
ly laminar wnn tlie details ol
railroad const ruction. His com
pany Were slltlicieiltly interest eil
to send him to this county to look
the ground over, to confer with
some of our people, and, as far
as possible, to ascertain whether
or not it would pay them to build
b" produced by tlie tens of'
thousands. Estimating seventy
live to the acre, which is very
conservative, we have over twelve ;
million railroad ties, enough al- j
lowing two feet from center to;
cent er to build a railroad across j
the continent, with a. commercial!
value suf'licii'iitly great to con
struct a line of railroad three
limes the length required to
Cherry Run.
Now. the advantages growing
out of the building of a railroad
are mutual. Should a road be
built the people ali along the line
will be liiiancially benefited as
well as the Company; so it is only
fair Li nit we should bo willing to
plH up some ol tlie expense.

( ,,ii i n. John Comerer. of

this place, went down to Thump-!
son tuwnship Tuesday to begin
the erection of Mac Litton's big
barn. The building is to bo a
modern structure, TiOxKO feet,
and weatherboarded with Ger
man siding. Fourteen years ago,
Mr. Comerer gave Mr. Litton's
dwelling house an overhauling;
and, now, when the barn is com
pleted, Mr. Litton will have one
nf the must desirable farm prop
erties in the county.
Two nf the three suspected
murderers uf Samuel Slaves and
four others at Winber, were ar
rested at Lilly, on the main line
of the Pennsylvania Railroad as
they alighted from a train. Their
pockets were full of newspaper
stories of tho crime attributed to
them; aud, also, uf portraits of
themselves taken from newspa
pers. They were placed in jail
at Winber; but the popular feel
ing against them became so great
tlint. t.hev were dressed 111 10-
male attire aud spirited away)
from tlie town, and it is supposed
placed in the county jail at Som
erset. The jail at Winber is a
small one, and the guard around
it was thought to be insufficient
to deal with any serious attempts
at lynching. The woman at
whoso house the murders were
committed is now under police
surveillance. An inmate uf the
house has given the police an
apron, which she says the woman
wore tho night of tlie murders.
Napolison, tho missing man, had
recently taken out a license to
marry tho woman. Ho is sup
posed to bo badly wounded.

No section uf Pennsylvania con
tains a trreater variety of com
mercial products than Fulton
county. Iron ores abound every
where in Tirofusion hematite,
fossil, pipe, micaceous and others
but the richest deposits exist
right along the line of the pro
posed road. Lowry's Knob six
miles south of McConnollsburg
is practically an iron mountain.
A shaft of eighty feet was sever
al years ago, sunk throagh solid
ore with 110 indication of its limit
being reached. South of this
Knob is the Dickey's Mountain
formation extending for miles
and contains what is known as
the Danville ore measures, and
said by expert s to be one of the
most reliable veins outside the
primitive formation in Pennsyl
vania. This ore is free from
sulnhur or phosphorus, and gen
erally yields lilty to si.My pol
ecat, of pure iron. Ni by is an
abundant supply of good lime
stone for smelting purposes. In
the northern end of the county is
an immense 1'oiu 01 l ie 11c1ie.1i

Of those who came here in re
cent years, all have moved else
where, except myself; and I can
hardly realize that it is eight
years since I left Pulton and
opened an ojlice here. The older
families of McKldowneys,liessos,
Covalts, and Pecks are hero, and
have been for so long that they
are lilcely to remain. N. II. Peck
and family are at Wilkinsburg,
Pa. Each move they make firings
them a little nearer Hartford, and
we expect to s"e them arrivu in
this city about next fall.
Hartford is now a place of near
ly si nit) population. It has just
about doubled in sii-.e since I came.
Of late years its growth has not
been rapid, but of a substantial
kind. This spring two good
business blocks are going up
which will make a substantial ad

Our timber is 110 mean consid

exists three aires of woodland.
Tho fact tiiat about a do.en steam

there is saw timber, and tho

The natural gas is holding out
well, but is failing somewhat.
New wells now test about 175 to
190 lbs., where they tested K,
ten years ago. Oil is coming in,
and many former gas wells are
now oil producers. The farmer
who ow ns tlie land usually gets
one sixth of the oil, and a great
many of them have substantial
incomes, as oil now sells for '1. 10

The wheat will beahnnst a fail

they acquitted themseives in the
rendering of the program, was
highly creditable to themselves
and to their teacher.
Every number of the program
wasboth interestingaud instruct

each separately, it is enough to
say that McConnollsburg finds
very proud of the product of her
high school.
Hie address to the class was
made by Prof. J. L. Fina frock, of
the Mercersbnrg High School.
The quiet dignity of his man
ner and the earnestness ol ins

The lloral decorations were
beautiful. The entire length of

Mr. A. U. Nace, in presenting
