Mr. Hulbert, in his “Historic High-
ways in America,” quotes a highway
law in force in Pennsylvania a hundred
years ago. 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-
