PREPARATIONS BEING MADE
TO BUILD ENON CUT-OFF
Will Place Reynoldsville On
Another New York-Chicago ,
Trunk Line. -IT
WAS PLANNED LONG AGO
Final surveys for the Pennsylvania
& Western railroad, a cut oft from
Enon, on the Port Wayne system, to
Red Bank, on the Buffalo & Allegheny
Valley line of the Pennsylvania system,
which has been planned with a view of
keeping the through freight tonnage
out of the Pittsburgh district, have
been completed and It Is expected that
work will be started early next spring.
It Is known that this work Is included
in the 1010 Improvement program,
which is now being prepared, and It is
generally believed that the executives
will authorize its construction.
During the last few years the Penn
sylvania has done some preliminary
work on the proposed new line. Large
fills have been made In - the vicinity of
New Castle, Pa., where It Is proposed
to build immense freight classification
yards, connection being made at that
point with the Erie & Pittsburgh di
vision. The charter for this company
was obtained a few years ago by the
Pennsylvania and it was originally in
tended to begin actual construction
sometime in 1907, but work was held up
on account, of the panto, which set in at
that time. ' v
During the boom years the railroads
experienced great difficulty on account
of congestions in this territory.' It is
impossible to build additional main line
tracks through the city and the Penn
sylvania solved the problem by keeping
all through freight out of tbe city
proper.
By using the proposed cut-off, through
freight from the west would leave tbe
'. Fort Wayne at Enon, go over the new
line to the Allegheny river, where It
would be turned over to the Buffalo and
Allegheny Valley and tbe Philadelphia
A Erie divisions. Tbe estimated cost
of the line is about t75,000 a mile
Pittsburgh Post.
The building of the Enon cut-off will
mean that the Low Grade division will
become part of a great trunk line be
tween Chicago and New York. Inside
of two years the Jamestown, Franklin
A Clearfield will build tbe connecting
link from Brookvllle to Clearfield,
througn Reynoldsville, and then we
will have two great trunk railroads run
ning through our town.
Death of Samuel R. Kelley.
Samuel R. Kelly, ex-county auditor
of Jefferson county, and a well known
citizen of Brookvllle, died at his home
on Butler street at 7.30 o'clock Monday
momfng of this week, his death being
due to injuries received on August 4th
while cutting limbs from the treeas In
the old graveyard. While engaged In
this work Mr. Kelly was struck upon
the head by a fulling limb, and was
thrown upon the axe with which he
was working, cutting a severe gash in
his head. Tbe wound failed to respond
to treatment, and although for a time
it appeared that the injured man would
recover, for several weeks past he had
been gradually sinking and his death
was not unexpected. Funeral services
were held at the home Wednesday
afternoon and Interment was made in
the Brookyille cemetery, Mr. Kelly
was aged about 61 years, and Is sur
vived by his wife. He was a quiet.
unassuming citizen, who had a bo9t

Come, llBten awhile, a good story I'll tell
Of the Wild Cat Regiment It Is known very well.
The Wild Cats, they say, are all willing to fight,
And they are commanded by A. A. McKnigbt.
Derry down, down, down, derry down.
One night as the Wild Cats all lay in tbelr beds,
The adjutant came to the Wild Cats and said
"Hurry up, my brave boys, I'd have ynu be quick,
And put on your duds; we must go to Pohlck."
Derry down, down, down, derry down.
Then up Jump the Wild Cats, each shouldered a gun,
And away to Pohick, where they thought to have fun:
But when they got tbero stacked their guns on tbe green,
Not a sign of a rebel was there to be seen.
Derry down, down, down, derry down.
He got out his glasses to see what he could see,
He thought he saw rebels, a large company.
He brought his artillery and gave them a shell;
The cowardly rebels, they all run pell raell.
Derry down, down, down, derry down.
It's next out on picket we bad a hard tramp, ,
To keep the cursed rebels from coming to camp;
And when we got there built Ores on the ground
And when night came on we ail sat around.
Derry down, down, down, derry down.
The very next morning, three boys they went out.
They thought to themselves they would hare a small scout.
They started for home and all three got lost,
To Camp California they chanced for to roam.
Derry down, down, down, derry down..
Tbey kept them in camp until the next day;
iney sent tor inetr omoers to lane tnem away;
Tbey brought them to camp as snug as a mouse
Tbe colonel, be puts them into the guard bouse.
Derry down, down, down, derry down.
i
It's now, my brave boys, I'd have you look out,
And never get lost when you go on a scout;
For If that you do, there la one sure thing,
, Tbe colonel will make you walk the bull ring
Derry down, down, down, derry down,-
My song, it Is ended, and I am very glad,
And I hope there are none of my messmates are mad.
My song, it Is ended, and I hope it will pans,
But if you don't like it, you may all go to grass.
Derry down, down, down, derry down.

Railroad Trespassing
1 And Its Dire Results
Statistics Show Fearful Mor
tality As a Result of the
Practice.
Trespassing on railroad property, in
violation of the law, has been respon
sible for the deaths of 47,416 people in
tbe United States in the last ten years.
In tbe same period more than 50,000
trespassers were Injured. It Is In view
of these facts that many of the Impor
tant railroads have determined to re
double their efforts to seoure In this
country that rigid enforcement of the
law against trespassing, which, In Eng
land, has reduced the Dractlce and an.
cldents to trespassers to a minimum.
The number of people killed whlln
trespassing on railroads has been In
creasing every year. In 1898, 4,063
trespassers lost their lives on American
railroads; five years later the number
was 5,000, and In 1907, the number
killed was 5,612 more than 15 a day.
These figures are taken from the an
nual reports of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Figures compiled
by the Pennsylvania Railroad alone
show that 465 trespassers lost their
lives on that System's lines in 1899;
781 were killed In 1904; while in 1907
the number reached 915 an average of
almost three for almost every business
day in tbe year. In the ten years prior
to January 1, 1909, exaotly 7,240 people,
who were on the Pennsylvania's right
of way in wilful violation of tbe law,
and in spite of thousands of warning
signs along the railroad, were killed.
In addition, during the first six months
of this year 285 trespassers were killed.
It is not only tramps who are killed
and Injured while trespassing though,
thousands of them lose their Uvea in
this way every year but also men of
the laboring class, factory workmen,
their wives and. children, who use rail
road tracks as thoroughfares. Thin
practice gives added significance to the
figures from the Pennsylvania system,
the tracks of which, lined with factor.
ies, run through the densest industrial
sections; through territory which
holds more than one-half of the popula
tion of the United States, chese
tracks and adjacent DroDertv"6ver
11,000 trespassers were arrested In 1908.
