It provided that on certain turnpikes no loaded wagons with tires less than four inches wide could be used, and weight of loads to be hauled were regulated by width of tires. And the maximum number of horses that eould be attached to any wagon was eight, and the maximum load was five tons, on 10-ineh tires. The penalty for the violation of this law was confisca- lected by an officer of ‘the state. In those days all inland transportation was on wagons, and it is seen that the present conception of the effect of wide tires on wagons is not a new one. Supt. A. G. Smith, of the Somerset Coal Company, informs us that we were wrongly informed about the cut- ting of Conductor Albert Domer, at Elk Lick mings, a week ago last Satur- while he was about his duties the stab- bing took place, but Mr. Smith inform- ed us that there was no train up over the branch that night, and that the real facts were that Mr. Domer was up there on a pleasure trip, in which some females living in that vicinity were the attraction, and that this was what brought about the trouble. Very nat- urally Mr. Smith did not like to have the report go out that it was not safe for one to come up to the mines when they were attending to their own af- fairs, and in order that the public may know the trath in the matter we make this correction.—Meyersdale Repub- liean.
