Iii a lew days the work of locating the Strath Pennsylvania railroad, commonly called the Vanderbllt mad, ".-ill be completed, The chief engineer divided tins* road Into divisions, beginning Hie work at tlie eastern end and working westward. The last, division of the read, which extends from a point near Jones Mills to tho junction witli the Vanderbllt road on the west side of the Youghiogheny river, has been under Hie control of Mi*. E. Leifl'er, whose office is located In tlio Hitchinan block, at (his placo. They have completed Hie trial surveys across the Ligonier valley from a polllt'east of Jones Mill.-., passing noei by Donegal, striking Jacobs creek neai- its head wntors and making ;'. gradual ilesci nt of tbo western slope of Chestnut ridge, lea.'iig Laurelville to the right, and reaching Ihe valley near I'ennsviilc. Tbey have a fow trial lines to run, when the permanent location of this division, as well as tho eastern divisions, of the road will be determined upon and the contract* for constructing the road will bo awarded. Mr. XV. 8. Lutz, the draughtsman for the corps, permitted a Jni.i.x.M, reporter to examine the drawings re] resenting tlie kind ofa road bed that will lio mado. The road will be double track and ballasted throughout. Tho latest improvements in the way of tunnels, cuts, culverts and drains will be used. The chief engineer ofthe road. whose office is iii New York city, was one of the principal engineers on the P. R. R., he having built the Western Division of the P. R. R, ami laid out tbe present town of Latrobe. Many ofthe engineers on the new railroad were former engineers of long experionco on tho P. R. R. The new road will bo in many ways much like the P. II. Ii. in point of construction, yet its superiority will come from combining all the modern railroad improvements. Very little is known as to the intentions of the owners of the new road. It is thought, however, that the principal object of the new mad Is not for tho immense local traffic it will have along the line, but for a convenient and permanent nutlet and connect ion for eastei n railroads not connected with any of the.present trunk lines, ami Western railroads.

The experiment of burning coke in Io*- oomotlves has had a successful trial on the Hallo, and Ohio road bOlWdOit Columbus and Zancsville. Tho Connollsvillo C'eur'sr has boon told that thorois no smoke or cinders, and the usual black and dirty passenger g"is off from tha train hauled by lliu coke burner as fresh as whon bo started on the trip. All this Hie case, we cannot understand why coko is not usued on tbo Connolls*.- vlllo division.

The accident occurred about four o'clock on Saturday evening. Coroner C'.ingan is here ami will probably hold an inquest. A scarcity of both cars and orders con** tinues to embarrass lho coko industry. When the labor difficulties among tho iron workers eomo to an ond, as thoy -oem likely to do ere long, the scarcity of cars for removing tho coko will be felt more extensively. Wo great is likely t.i be tho demand upon tho railroads for transportation of the largo farm products, that without an Immense Increase in the number of ears there will be it largo shortage nf :ie.-..iiiniodaiitni, by which not only tho iron trade, but business of nil kinds, will be Injuriously ob- s'l-i'loil. It is to be hoped that the bu- i will not experience a ear famine e |mil to th ai. of last winter. The price of coke is very In-.v. Opera* tors who do not have a standing contract for the sale of their coke and are com" pelled to throw it on tin* market receive** but lir.'.o more than tho actual cost of manufacturing !'. Many coko yards are- orowded with stock coko. With 111* protracted Iron strike, consumers bavo been enabled to lay iu a largo stock of coke. A large numbs*: of ovens huve* been built. Add to tflOSO drawbaks th« threatened car famine, and we (Java ov, e.-y indication that tfce coke trade will not be a go.il one this winter. Wo have heard ii Intimated by several operators. i hat if lho |u ice of coko does not increase* I hey will be compelled to lower the price of digging ooal and drawing coke. Wo- do hope that such a thing will not oc» cur. When it is known that tlio ininorM and coko drawers have been working little more than half time this summer, a decrease of wages would bo hard t* bear. With tlie present prosperous outlook nl no.u ly every other industry we. think there is reason to believe that the coke trade will get on ito foot, and wliilo we cannot expect the trade to bo as good as in 79and '80, it certainly will be bettor than at present* commendable feature ol the show is they given that evening, und the prostitutes will not allow any confluence men or | were allowed to eac%] the o turod. tie values them at$8001 three card moute men to follow them. tbe bullet lodged in the abdomou of ami offers to give a reward of |S0 or tho Thpy even prohibited the Whoel-of-for-1 Germanus < .
