Remounting his engine he ran It to

grouped along tho embankment shout-ing
in the engineer that his engine was

that portion of RIghter's Perry road
and the SohnyUdil river toad, which
I.IC Pencoyd Iron Works Oompan]
havo repeatedly tried to have vacated
and which a previous jury hns reported
In favor of vacating. The project has
been opposed by property holders on
the Rlghter r i , Road and residents
of Overbrook. Most, of the contested
parts of the roads have for several
years been occupied by the Pencoyd
Iron Works Company, which desires
to occupy that portion of the Kerry
rood from the east side of the atone
arch under the Rending Railway lo the
River road, and Ihe latter from Ferry
road to a point several hundred feet
north. The parly accompanied hy For-ma!
Roberta, Jr., President of the
Pencoyd company, and counsel repre-senting
each side, walked over the Dis-puted
parts of the roads and discussed
tho subject at length.
Mr. Roberts showed plans of n bridge
that is being en oted across the Bchuyl-klll
nearly opposite to Rlghter*! Perry
road, and stated that the plans called
for a foot bridge, on which pedi
can walk over an elevated portion
above tho Iron works and over the
Heading Railway al a height of twen-ty-
two foot of forty-two feel above
the River Road, n required but II few
minutes' deliberation before ihe jury
announced that they had unanimously
agreed In favor of vacating the por-tions
of tho two roads asked for.

Colenel Ouffey has gotten the Dem-ocratic
ma, bins lead.r- of Philadelphia
to work in harmony with the Insurgent
Republicans ol that city in the matter
of defeating regularly nominated Re-publican
candidates for the legisla-ture
next fall. Ouffey would like to
see Democrats elected In dose districts,
but where he cannot bring that al t
he wants his followers to join hinds
with the Insurgents and prevent Hie
■election of Republicans who are pledg-ed
to vote for the Republican caucus
nominee for United States senator at
Harrisburg next winter.
While Ouffey is talking fusion on the,
legislature In the hope of helping along j
his own Interests, ho is just as boldly'
proclaiming that William Jennings
Bryan will get ihe votes "f the national
delegates from Pennsylvania for presi-dent
and thai he bellves that be win

it is regarded as a strang idl-tlon

organisation.
Hut the stalwart element of the
party In this state does not appear to
beat all concerned about the result of
the contest now under way for the elec-tion
of members Of the legislature.
Former State Chairman Thomas V.
Cooper, who has been nominated for
the legislature In Delaware county, hns
made a tabulation of the result of the
balloting ai Republican primaries up
to dale. In the matter of the nomina-tion
of candidates for the legislature.
He points out that 31 counties have
thus far nominated legislative candi-dates,
and that :i:i have yet to do so.
The former Republican fleljl marshal
states that Colonel Quay has made a
gain of is members. Besides Hies,, ho
says Philadelphia will give a gain of
lfi stalwarts, Montgomery win give s
Chester 4. and Bucks 3. and there are
2S other counties from which olhor
gains may fairly be expected.
Editor Cooper was never In a mure
sanguine frame of mind, and ho appar-ently
cannot figure nut why the in-uir-gents
can lie so foolish as to continue
the fight.
