Fifty-One Bridges On Sixty
Miles of Railroad Heavy
Construction Work.
From the Franklin .Et'enijicf News we
clip tbe following facts and figures
given that paper by F. H. Walker
the engineer who was responsible for
the mechanical work on the Franklin
& Clearfield railroad:
"Tbe Franklin & Clearfield railroad
which has been under construction
during tbe past four years, extends
easterly from Franklin, Pa., for a dis
tance of sixty miles, to Brookville,
through Venango, Clarion and a por
tion of Jefferson counties. This ter
ritory is In tbe Allegheny Mountain
region, and bence the construction is
very heavy and difficult. The greater
portion of the roadbed is graded double
track, and over 6,000,000 cubic yards
of grading have been required. There
are fifty-five steel bridges, which re
quired 15,000 tons of steel in their con
struction. These bridges were all built
of a capaoity about equal to Cooper's
E 60 loading. The construction work
required 162,000 yards of concrete and
15,000 yards of stone masonry. j
"Tbe ninety-foot spanB, of which
there are twenty-six, are very heavy,
each girder weighing about thirty
three tons. . These girders were all
placed by tbe American Bridge Com
pany with a thlrty-flve-ton derrick car.
Tbe several large viaducts, the largest
of which Is 1,200 feet long and 135 feet
In greatest depth, were also erected by
the Amerlan Bridge Company. These
larger bridges are all double track
structures. Tbe viaducts of no greater
depth than about fifty feet were erected
with the thlrty-flve-ton derrick car.
Those of greater depth were erected
by this same derrick car, with the
assistance of a two-boom traveler."
AN ODD ROMANCE
COMES TO LIGHT.
Couple Once Divorced Wed
Again In Old Age.
An odd romance Is revealed In the
marriage license granted to Joseph
Cook, aged 72 years, and Catherine
Davis, aged 60, both of Brick churob.
The couple were married once be'
fore, on Feb. 20, 1858, by tbe late Rev.
David Earhart, at the home of Simon
Helfrlck, In Burrell township. They
lived happily together, rearing a fam
ny lor twelve years, wnen a separa
tion occurred. In 1874 Mrs. Cook ob
tained a divorce. She remained single,
but the husband married Delia Smith,
who died about a year ago.
Recently Cook renewed his court
ship with his former wife and they
are now taking up life together where
they dropped It nearly 40 years ago.-

On the Construction Of New
P. & S. Railroad,
With tbe open weather next spring
It is estimated that fully three thous
and men will be employed on tbe con
struction of the Pittsburgh & 8haw
mut railroad between Knoxdale, Jeffer
son county, and Fret-port. ' A camp Is
now being established at Glade Run
where that stream empties Into the
Allegheny rlvur on the weBt side be
tween Ru8slon and Logansport. A
large force of men will be employed
there.
There are to be six tunnels, two hear
Mahoning, two near Col well's Furnace
and two near Knoxdale. Oue of them
will be 1,900 feet, another 1,930 feet;
and one 550 feet. The total length of
all the tunnels will exceed 7,000 feet.
HOOK WORMS CASE IN TOWN.
A Local Doctor Treated a Case Success
fully and Bottled Some of
the Worms.
Laziness Is not an uncommon or new
oomplatnt, as every generation has had
a certain percentage of lazy people,
but It has only been receutly that the
publlo has been Informed, through
newspapers and magazines, that this
lazy, Indolent, sluggish feeling Is
caused by a tiny little worm which med
ical science calls a hook worm. Re
cently John D. Rockefeller contributed
$1,000,000 to treat people of the south'
land who are victims of the hook worm
It is not'necessary to go out of lieyn
oldsvllle to find lazy people, which
would prove that the people of the
southland don't have a monopoly on
the hook worm.
One of our doctors got a case which
had the book worm symptoms and be
treated the man for hook worms and
succeeded in removing hundreds of tbe
tiny hook worms from his system.
Some of the hookworms have been
preserved In alcohol. They are about
t inch long and about as large around
as No. 60 thread. .' f -

to hear of his death although it has
not been unexpected for tbe past ten
days... He had been ailing for about
a year and for tbe past six weeks bad
been confined to hlB bed almost con
tinually, tbe trouble was a complication
of organlo troubles.

ol bis death. He served as a soldier
during the entire Civil War, being
a member of Company B, 149tb Regi

render ended tbe strife."
