THAT LOCOMOHILI'..
WILLIAM J. VAKM.S.
There was no little excitement i
among the boys oi' our town last
Saturday evening, when two gen
tlemen came into town from tho
east in a handsome carriage of
which it may be said there was
"no pullee, no pu shoe, but it went
ahead just sanieo." At Punk's
Hotel the gentlemen alighted and
the strange looking, vehicle was
safely housed for the night.
It was the first appearance of
a horseless, muleless, or steer
less pleasure carriage in Fulton
couuty. It was a genuine loco
mobile,and bears about the same
relation to a traction engine that
a finely finished surrey would
bear to a six horse broadtread
road wagon.
This machine, had a finely tin
inished wood body with nicely
upholstered seat for two persons
to ride comfortably. This body
was mounted on four wheels
with rubber tire, about the size
of and looked like bicycle wheels.
Underneath the body was con
cealed tlie machinery, which con
sisted of a small four horse steam
engine, a small water tank, aud
a small tauk for gasoline tho
gasoline being the fuel used to
generate steam. The machine
did not weigh over (00 or 700
pounds, and cost 7.")0.(Hi. For
an average run of ten miles, one
gallon of gasoline is used for
fuel and six or seven gallons of
water for steam.
The difference between an auto
mobile aud a locomobile is, that
the power used to propel the
former is generated by electric
batteries while the latter is run
by a steam, or a gasoline, engine.
The tourists above mentioned
were L. II. Carlisle and Ed W.
Mealey of the Crawford bicycle
works, Uagerstowu. They start
ed out Saturday for a run of sixty-five
miles over to Bedford, ex
pecting to reach this place for
dinner, and Bedford for supper.
They made their first twenty
three miles in two hours, aud
were getting along nicely when
they corelossly allowed the water
to get too low in the boiler, aud
the pump refused to work; hence
they did not reach McConuolls
burg until about live o'clock,), m.
As business required their pres
ence at Uagerstowu Monday
morning, they staid here Satur
day night, went dowu the Cove to
tho National pike Sunday morn
ing, aud by that returned to
Uagerstowu.
These gentlemen are not out
so much for their health as to
give the machine a test ou our
roads with a view to building a
machine and placing it ou the
market at a popular price.
Hus This Been Done?
An Act of tho Legislature ap.
proved May i, lM'Mt, provides that
"the township supervisors and
road coiiiniisiouers of the several
townships, shall annually, on the
first Monday of April, enter into
a contract with one or more tax
payers to remove and take away
the loose stones from the main
traveled highways in such town
ships at least once each month,
during the mouths of April, May,
June, July, August, September
aud October of each year."
The compensation to the per
sons doing the work is to be
credited upon the road tax as
sessed against them.

Daniel P. Dishong of Pleasant
Kidge, was in town Monday.
The S(uire has been having some
hard luck. The latter part of
April he was building fence one
day and run a splinter in the
palm of his left hand. With his
po.'ket knifo he removed the
splinter, which hud peuot rated
the hand about three-eighths of
au inch, and gave the matter no
further attention for nearly a
week, when inflammation set iu
pus formed, aud tlie result was a
sore hand that cost him a Doc
tor's bill and several weeks of iu
tonso suffering and almost his
life.
Mr. Varnes is a native of Hel
fast township, a graudsou of the
late Klder Joseph Correll and a
former school teacher. A few
years ago he "went west." Tho
following letter will bo interest
esting to his many friends.
"I went to Hucyrus, Ohio, in
April, In'Io, and passed the teach
ers' examination there. July 10,
1!C, I enlisted iu thoU. S. Army
at Cleveland, Ohio, and was as
signed to the Eighth Infantry at
Fort D. A. Russell, Choyeuue,
Wyoming. I passed two exami
nations for the Kailroad Mail
Service while at this place, and
was transferred upon my own
application to Battery 'I,' Third
Artillery, at Presidio, Sanfrau
cisco, California, in May, 1K(I7. I
received au appointment of sub
stitute Railway Postal Clerk,
March, L'7, 1H!)m, obtained my
discharge from the U. S. Army,
by favor, April 27), lsiH, and was
appointed Railway Postal Clerk
for a probationary term af six
mouths, upon the expiration of
which t'me I was discharged.
This discharge was caused by
my haviug reported the elork-in-chargo,
with whom I was run
ning, for being under the influ
ence of liquor, and for making me
do his work iu addition to my
own.
"All clerks receive a probation
ary appointment of six mouths;
and if they prove satisfactory, re
ceive a permanent appointment;
but I was unfortunate iu this re
spect. I was a class 1 clerk, aud
they put ine ou a class 4 run from
Cheyenne to Ogden, just at the
time we were receiving groat
ship loads of mail from Manila.
We hiul to work day aud night
with only a few days off; but the
clerk-in-charge wanted to do the
sleeping aud wanted me to do the
work. He was a class 5 clerk at
fcliir0.00 a year and 'was appoint
ed by favor during Cleveland's
first administration.
Major Frauk W. Hess, Artillery
Inspector on Ihe staff of tho Com
manding General Department of
the Columbia, who is president of
the board of officers for the ex
amination of enlisted men for
promotion to the grade of second
lieutenant, is a native of Fulton
county, and he says he knows you
well. Ho is a son of the late
Jonathan Hess of your town and
is a very nice gentleman.
I forget to write you that I re
enlisted at Fort Stevens, Oregon,
April r, lx'lil, for Battery 'M,'
Third Artillery, at which place 1
am stationed now. Fort Stevens
is situated at the mouth of the
Columbia, opposite Cape Disap
pointment. We have hero a fine
battery of six ton-inch rifles
mounted on disappearing car
riages, and a battery of eight
twelve-inch mortars on spring
return carriage; also, two batter
ies of six-inch rapid firing guns.
The ten-inch battery has been
named by the Secretary of War,
'Battery Lewis' and the mortar
battery, 'Battery Clark.' Just
across the river at Fort Colum
bia, which is garrisoned by a de
tachment from 'M' Battery, is a
battery of six eight-inch steid ri
fles (the other guns I mentioned
are made of steel and are rifled
too,) mounted ou disappearing
carriages and a battery of six six
inch rapid firing guns.
"You can see why there is such
an agitation for an increase of the
artillery arm of the service. It
requires fourteen men to man
oue of the ten-inch rifles, includ
ing eight men for the ammuni
tion detail, twenty-two men in all,
and it takes nearly as many to
iu;ui one of tin other guns and
this for one relief only, to say
niilliiiig of the extra details at
range tinners, piomug boards, re
location, telephones, dial telegra
phy, aud other details. There is
only oue battery of men on the
Columbia, and we have to mount
guns and care for them all tho
time. We have no time for drill.
I am a 'first-class' gunner aud a
gunnery specialist, class, B.",
Oue of the loading social events
of the seasou occurred on Tues
day evening, June 12, ISino, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. William
Catchall in Taylor township. The
occasion was the marriage of
their daughter, Miss Elta, to W.
R. Speer, Saluvia's hustling mer
chant. At seven o'clock about twenty
live of the immediate friends of
the bridal couple were assembled
iu the parlor, in that breathless
suspense that always precedes
that important ceremony. The
hush was broken by the soft,
sweet strains of Lohengrin from
the organ at which Miss Mildred
Mathias of Hustoutown was pre
siding. A few moments more
and the marital group were in
place, presenting a beautiful tab
leau. The ceremony was per
formed by Rev. Frank of Huston
town who used the beautiful and
impressive service of the M. K.
(tl lurch.
Miss Eftie Cutchall, sister of
the bride, was bridesmaid, aud
Mr. B. 0. Laniberson of Huston
town, groomsman.
The bride looked very pretty
in a beautiful white organdie,
trimmed with lace ami ribbon.
After the customary congratu
lations had been offered, the
gui'sts were invited to the dining
room where a sumptuous repast
was served.
The happy couple will make
their home at Saluvia.

Harold Mc-
Our good friend Samson J. Mel
lott, of Belfast township, who has
boon spending the past month
with his daughter Sadie, Mrs. J.
W. Turner, returned to this vi
cinity last week and will spend
some time with his son Andrew,
who lives just oast of town.
Mr. and Mrs. Turner live on
Harrison's Island iu the Potomac
river, a short distance from Lees
burg, Virginia. It was Mr. Mel
lott's first visit to his daughter
since her residence there aud he
is much pleased. The island, he
says, comprises five hundred
acres all iu oue farm, level as a
floor aud soil that is just delight
ful to work and very productive.
Mr. Turner has had charge of this
farm for several years. Tho corn
field is so large that it takes just
au hour to make oue round with
the cultivator. Mr. Mellott says
it menus something when one
goes a ti-hing down there. Mr.
Turner set out-liuos, aud had the
satisfaction of hauling in forty
eels aud about fifty nice fish.
Sadie used to live in this place,
and she aud Mr. Turner were
married by Rev. Mr. Grove.
liADLY Hl'KT.
Ou Wednesday of last week
Mr. David Fraker, of Fort Little
ton met with au accident which
might have cost him his life. Ho
was going down the lane from the
Ridge above the Woollot farm
with a three-horse, load of bark.
When, at tho top of a steep de
scent, he tied the hiud wheels
aud started down, but the chain
soon broke, the wagon pushed on
the horses which rau to keep out
of the way of the wagon, aud Mr.
Fraker ran to get control of the
team. As he caught hold of one
of the horses it fell, throwing him
aud both tl its front and hind
wheel of the wagon on the near
side, ran over oue of his legs.
The wonder is that he was not
crushed to death. Under skill
ful surgical aitl he is in a fair way
to recover.
Through the courtesy of Mrs.
W. L. McKibbiu of -Union town
ship, we are permitted to publish
the following extract of a letter
from her son;
DlANAT.ri'I.I AN, P. I.,
April 27, l'.lOO.
"As it is nearly time for the
rainy seasou to set iu, I will write
again. From present indications,
vt shall not move from here soon.
We have sent iu estimates for
eight mouths' supplies, and they
are now coming in fast. After
th" rainy seasou starts wecau't
get out of hero ou account of the
water. The nat ives say the towu
becomes jmrtly inundated and re
mainsso for three or four months.
During this time they have to go
along the streets iu boats. We
felt a slight earthquake here yes
terday, which lasted about three
or four minutes. The earth seem
ed to sway like the motion of a
vessel ou the ocean. Several of
the men were quite dizzy and Dr.
Entlers, our surgeon, was sick
from it. We are not doing any
thing now except making prepa
rations for the rainy season. A
small detail was out a few days
ago aud burnt some Googoo bar
racks iu the mouutaius. They,
too, are making preparations for
the rainy seasou. We burn all
buildings iu the mountains where
ever we can tiud them so tho na
tives will have to come iuto tho
towus as soou as the niin begins.
It is very warm now; yet I do
not feel the heat as much as I
did in the States. When we suf
fer most is just after a shower.
The sun then comes out so quick
ly and hot, that if we don't keep
our faces aud hands dry tho sun
will blister us where ever there is
a drop of perspiration standing.
One of the men got a letter from
his home asking if it was hothere.
He replied, 'If you were to come
over autl see it melting the solder
off the old tin cans in the street,
you wouldn't ask such foolish
questions. Regards to all."

ACCIDENT AT WOODVALK.
Ou Wednesday morning of last
week, an accident happened at
Woodvalo to Peter, Newton aud
Samuel Staines, which may cost
oue of them, at least, his life.
Peter was eugaged in opening a
can of powder with a pick. In
some way a spark was generated,
and a violent explosion followed,
in which the entire body of the
unfortunate man was most shock
ingly burned. It was thought at
tho time that his recovery was
beyond a possibility;butDr. Camp
bell, of New Grenada, was sum
moned at once by telephone, aud,
at this writiug, Peter, as well as
the other two, who were near, and
badly burned, are in a fair way to
