done.

THE veto mill does not seem to slip a
cog now and thon, but to grind ahead
smoothly and steadily. The Governor
somehow or other hasn't a great deal of
money invested in legislative stock.
Am-numriop WOOD, a high prelate in

He was one of the leading men

THERE doesn't seem to be any proba-bility
of the apportionment bills being
nearer a settlement than they were
months ago. The ague wave from the
Susquehanna should bo summoned to
the commonwealth's assistance.
TUB legislators take great pride in re-ferring
to tho extra work done gratis by
them for the State at the close of the
regular session; but they preservo an
awful silence on tho junketing trips they
took unto themselves while the pay roll
was still in force.

LOOK TO YOUR INTERESTS.
That the new trunk line between
Harrisburg and Pittsburg will be built,
there is no reason to doubt. Being a
part of a great through line from New
York to Chicago and the west, its im-portance
can hardly be estimated, and
its location becomes a matter of more
than ordinary interest. It therefore be-hooves
us to cast our thoughts over
the qnestion whether some move ought
not to be made towards securing a mere
advantageous jwsition than we now oc-cupy.
Should the present line through
Mt. Pleasant township be adopted, tbe
railroad is too far away to be of benefit,
and just cloee enough to do ns harm.
Looking back to the time of tbe building
of the Southwest Pennsylvania road, we
can realize how much was lost by allow-ing
tbe line to run a few miles west
when it could just as easily have been
made a benofit to the town. Its com-pletion
marked a retrograde movement
for Mt. Pleasant which it took years to
overcome. To-day wo are in the same
position, and we are sitting supinely by
when an energetic movement might
bring untold prosperity to oor doors. A
move in the right direction, with an ef-fort
made to show the importance of the
town as a shipping point and as a center
towards which the trade of the Bnr-roujnding
region would flow, ought cer-
*t«) ily to be a make weight in tbe minds of
4h< officials baring tho location of the
JiD in charge. Statistics could be gath-er
® I in agriculture, mining, cote mak-ing
ijpd mercantile pnrsuits which would
bring about a favorable view of the pe-tit*
n. If the line coaid only be given
ens ugh of a southerly trend to bring it
wit iln a half mile of us, it would be all
tha we could ask and to feet all that we
woi Id want; but as it stand# now the
town will be injured more than it will
be 1 idped, ^’hink over the matter, act'

THE NEW RAILROADS.
THE OUTLOOK FOR DEVELOPMENT.
The Vamlrrbllt Line and How II Will l»e
Built.—A Nrw Unltlmore Ohio
Branch —Othrr Notu.
The Pittsburg “Commercial Gazette of
last Friday has the following to nay con-cerning
the South Pennsylvania railroad;
A number of prominent railroad men
stopped over nt the Monongahela House
yesterday, leaving for the Fast at 5 p. tr..
They wore Mr. K. K. Sheldon, Philadel-phia,
President of Vanderbilt’s Harris-burg
& Western new trunk line, Mr.
Sanger, New York, Treasurer; Robert H.
Sayer, Bethlehem, Pa., Director, and
Oliver W. Barnes, New York, Chief Kn-giueor.
Their purpose in the city was to
arrange tho right-of-way matter down
Sewickloy creek valley with the Char-tiers
& Youghiogheny people. A confer-ence
was hehl in tho morning ami an
amicable understanding had to ndjust
the lines of the two roads so no interfer-ence
would ensue. Both roads will run
down the same valley. Chief Engineer
Barnes yesterday afternoon gave some
interesting information concerning the
great new trunk line. Mr. Barnes is an
old Pittsburgher. He was Itcsident En-gineer
in charge of the Western division
of the Pennsylvania railroad during its
construction from 1847 to 1854, and sub-sequently
was Chief Engineer and Presi-dent
of Die Pittsburg A Conncllsville,
now the B. & 0. branch. He built the
division of this road from West Newton
to Comiellsvtlle and the Sand Patch
tunnel, and was succeeded in the Presi-dency
by Benj. II. Latrobe in 1858.
Although much lias been published
concerning the Harrisburg & Western
the correct route of the line is news to
all. The road leaves Harrisburg where
it connects with the Philadelphia &
Heading going East, and runs a direct
line 100 miles, to Bedford, then to Som-erset,
to near Mt. Pleasant and down the
Big Sewickley Valley to its mouth where
it intersect, tho Pittsburg, McKeesport
A Youghiogheny railroad, twenty-nine
miles from Pittsburg, I litis fonninga line
from Harrisburg to Pittsburg 229 miles in
length. This route is one chosen and
will bo adopted by the Board of Direc-tors.
It is proposed to extend a branch
from a point east of Mt. Pleasant and
thence via Connellsvillc direct to Whell-ing.
The road will cross the Chnrticrs &
Youghiogheny by an overhead bridge in
the Big Sewickley Valley. Two overhead
bridge crossings of the South West
Penna. will bo made, one near Mt.
Ploasant and tho other near Painterville,
Westmoreland county. The only bridge
of extraordinary magnitude will be the
one at Harrisburg, crossing the Susque-hanna.
This bridge lias not been con-tracted
for, as published, and instead of
costing $2,000,000, it will cost but $500,-
000. It will be an iron truss of tbe latest
improved pattern, anil tbe contract for
its construction will bo let in the fall.
Ten tunnelB will be constructed, some
of them unusually large. The first is the
Blue llidge, twenty-five miles west of
Harrisburg, 4,350 long; second one mile
west of the Blue Kidge, the Kittatinny
tunnel, 4,635 feet; third, Tuscarora tun-nel,
5,290 feet; fourth, Sidling Hill tun-nel,
6,300 feet; fifth, Hay’s Hill tunnel,
4,700 feet; sixth, Allegheny Mountain
tunnel, 6,900 feet; seventh, Negro Moun-tain
tunnel, 1,800 feet; eighth, Quema-honing
tunnel, 2,000 feet; ninth, Laurel
Hill tunnel, 5,300 feet; tenth, Sewickley
tunnel, 1,800feet. The general maximum
grade going East is fifty-two feet to tho
mile, but a large proportion of the road
is on grades of twenty feet to the mile.
The ascent of the eastern slope of the
Allegheny Mountains will be made with
a grade of ninety five feet to the mile on
tangents, reduced on curves in propor-tion
to the rate of curvature in such man-ner
as to make the curves equivalent to
straight lines. The rate of grade is the
same as that used on the Pennsylvania
railroad in tho ascent from Altoona to
the summitof the Alleghenies, and is the
BAiue in length, ten miles. The rignt of
way for nearly tho whole line has been
obtained and generally by free releases
from the land owners. No serious diffi-culty
has been encountered in this re-spect,
The couqmuy lias secured a tract
of land on tho west side of the Susque-hanna,
opposite Harrisburg, known as
tbe Walton farm, containing 245 acres,
for terminal faculties. At oilier points
along the line ample grounds for station
purposes have been secured. When
shops arc required they will he erected at
Harrisburg. Hie road is to be built in
the best manner with double track, sev-enty-
pound steel rails and every known
improvement.
When will the contracts for building
the road be let 7” was asked Mr. Barnes.
“The contracts will lie let by Septem-ber
l,and work commenced at once. The
first labor wilt begin at tho heaviest work
on the tunnels. It is proposed to prose-cute
construction with energy, and we
believe it will take two years at the
shortest to complete tlie line.”
“What will the road cost 7*
“It is estimated twenty million dollars
for a two-track road from Harrisburg to
tbe junction with tho l*it!sburg, McKee-sport
A Youghiogheny, or $100,000 per
mile.” *
“What arrangements are made for ter-minal
faculties in Pittsburg 7”
“The Pittsburg, McKeesport A Yough-iogheny
furnish the facilities here. The
Monongahela river is recrossad within
the eity limits, and then, over another
liue, the passenger depots are reached.”
This new bridge will bo the Junction
railroad bridge at Four mile Ktm, for
which Jones A LaugUlins hold the char-ter.
This proves conclusively that over
the Pittsburg East End road Vanderbilt’s
trunk line will enter Pittsburg, and the
passenger depot be on Grant street.
On Tuesday of last week at tho State
Department at Harrisburg a charter was
issued to the Central Pennsylvania rail*
toad company to construct a line from
Mt. Pleasant to Punxutawney, Jefferson
county, a distance of 70 miles. The cap-ital
stock is $700,000. Thog. M. King, of
Pittsbmg, is the I'restdent, and the fol-lowing
are the. directors: Welty McCnl-
Washington, John M. Cleave, J. II.
Smith and Alvin S. White, Pittsburg.
This is a move on the part of tbe Bal-timoro
A Ohio company in the direction
of the oil, timberand hard coal rogionsof
Pennsylvania. When constructed the
Mt. Pleasant and Punxutawney railroad
will carry coal, iron and coke north, and
lumber, oil and anthracite ooal south,
thus acting as a great feeder for the It. A
()., which has already a branch to Mt
Pleasant. Tbe new lino will run through
Latrobe, Blairsville, pussing to one
side of Ebensburg, strike through tho
richest portion of Clearfield county, and
thence to Punxutawney. It is a step in
advance of tho P. K. R., which seems to
have hesitated in opening up this region.
It will connect witti the branch lines
leading to the northern oil fields and
likely with one of the great New York
trunk lines. The possibilities of such
a route in the way oi developing the
immense traffic in the rogion it traverses
cannot he over estimated, nnd when
taken in connection with the fact that
tho B. A (). managers ure by no means
dead to the development of the immense
mineral and timber tracts of West Vir-ginia,
the result will be too vast to ap-proximate
in a brief newspaper item. It
is understood that the work of construc-tion
will be commenced this season,
most of the right of way having been
secured and tbe lines surveyed.
The work on the extension of the
Youngwood branch to Mt. Pleasant is
progressing slowly owing to the fact tliut
Hughes Oliphant has secured an injunc-tion
restraining the Pennsylvania rail-road
from interfering with the right of
way of the South Pennsylvania road
near tho Middle churches, where tho
Youngwood line crosses tho Vanderbilt
road. The contractor expects to put two
hundred men at work as soon as the
caso is disposed of by Judge Hunter at
Greensbuig.
Jlr, A. A. Hutchinson, who owns a
charter fur the Mt. Pleasant and Latrobe
railroad, which is already located, ex-pects
to begin operations on tho con-struction
of his lino early next season.
STARTING THE WORK.
Tlie Engine*™ Iiratly to Begin Operations
on tlie How Road.
Tlie survey for the new railroad from
Mt. Pleasant to I’unxsiltawney is about
lo be made. Acting under orders from
Superintendent King, of tho Baltimore
A Ohio railroad, Sigistuond Leow on
Saturday last organized a surveying
corpH in Pittsburg fer tlie location of tho
new line ot tlie Central Pennsylvania
road. The surveyors arrived here on
Monday evening and will start upon
their duties at onee. The line will bo
under the direction of the B. & O. road,
and will in reality be an extension
northward of tho Mt. Pleasant A Broad-ford
road. The B. A 0. people claim
that both the Pennsylvania and tlie
Reading have been invading their terri-tory,
and now they propose to get even
by making an incursion into their land.
An Injunction Dissolved.
Some days ago Uuglios Oliphant on
behalf of tho South Pennsylvania rail-road
upplied for and obtninod from tho
Westmoreland courts a preliminary in-junction
restraining the Southwest
Pennsylvania railroad from Interfering
with their right of way, located lino and
easonients in Mt. Ploasant township.
Last Monday was the day fixed for
hearing the argument to make the in-junction
porpotual. After hearing tho
arguments, Judgs Hunter dismissed the
rule and dissolved the injunction and
tlio contractors will doiihtloss now push
to completion the extension of tho
Youngwood branch to Mt. Pleasant.
A Dnngcrorta Practice.
Sunday evening, just when tho streets
were tilled with pooplo returning homo
from the different churches, two young
men mounted on Indian ponies dashed
in Church street at full speed, stopped at
tbe National House corner, deliberating
some time as to what course they should
next take. They finally determined on
West Main street, and away they flew,
riding like mad. When In front of the
JOURNAL office one of tlie ponies fright-ened
at something, shied, stumbled on
tkoopposito pavoment ami foil, throwing
tho rider some distance over its head.
Neither pony or rider was much hurt;
the young man gathered himself up,
mounted and rodo off. Now, such aper-lormance
us this, especially at such a
time, is not only disgraceful but danger-ous
to a terrible degree. This makes the
second timo on Sunday that this thing
has been done, audit should he stopped.
Whore is our chief police and his gallant

HORSE THIEVES.
LOOK OUT FOR YOUR STOCK.
A f<tang of Drsprrikilon Working Success-fully
Ihe Southern Eiul of tho
County—1Thotr Lalul Until.
A well organized band of horse thieves
is Working tto southern end of West-
' moreland county. They nre daring, bold,
and thus far very successful in their op-orations.
Within the past two weeks
three ltorsos have disappeared in tlie vi-cinity
of .Seottdiile, and Saturday night
the thieves made a raid on Mt. Pleasant,
taking two horses, a buggy nnd a set of
new harness, One of the stolen horses
belonged to A. A Hutchinson was a sor-rel
horse of rather fine appearance,
though in reality not very valuable on
account of liis ago. The other horse be1
longed to Samuel Andrew; was an eight
year old bay, sixteen bands high, with a
rattier short mane, which had been cut
once and did not grow out long again,
and a star on his face. The two horses
were together in a pasture field on Mr.
Andrew’s farm on the eastern edge of
town. The robbers secured both animals
and rode them to tlio western end of
town, where they entered John Cun-ningham's
barn and stole a set of new
harness, saddle and bridlo. Then
going further westward on the pike their
next stopping place was at Peter Tarr’s,
about a mile and a half west of Tarr’s
station. There they ran out an open
topped buggy lrom a carriage shed and
drawing it ubout seventy-five yards from
tlie house hitched one of the horses to it
and drovo rapidly away. Mr. Tarr was
awakened by tlie noise of tlie traveling
buggy, shortly after midnight, and he
arose and went out on tlie back porch of
liis house, blit Baw nothing to indicate
that his property was taking its depart-ure
at a rapid gait. The next and last
trace of the thieves was found about one
hundred yards cast of tho point where
the turnpike forks for Pittsburg, and
West Newton. There in a potato
patch two bridles were discovered
which nre now in Mr. John Cun-ningham's
possession. At Mr. Turr’s a
bag belonging to Hitchman A Neel bad
been left which had been used us a sad-dle
for the bay horse. Mr. Tarr, think-ing
tliut probably tho robbers bad taken
a horse from one of tbe Ilitchnian farms
drovo in to town early .Sunday morning
and notified Air. W. J. Hitchman of the
occurrence, but upon examination none
of his horses were missing. Superin-tendent
Charlie Cunningham, of tlie
Standard works, Samuel Andrew and
John Cunningham were out on the trail
or. Sunday and a number of telegrams
were sent in different directions to head
off the thieves if possible, but thus lar
nothing lias been heard of the missing
property.
The indications are that there is a reg-ular
band of horse thieves in tlio vicini-ty,
anil our farmer readers should take
overy precaution to secure their live
stock from being spirited away.
On Monday evening Air. Charles Cun-ningham
returned from an unsuccessful
search at McKeesport and in Pittsburg.
The police of both cities have been fur-nished
with descriptions of the missing
animals and the buggy. THE JOURNAL
on Monday evening received a telegram
from Peter Tarr from Irwin, stating that
two hordes and a buggy answering the
description had passed through there in
the morning and asking for (instruction..
He was notified to follow the trail nnd
$100 reward would bo paid for the cap-ture
of the thieves and the return of the
stolen property. Mr. Samuel Andrew,
accompanied by Policeman Mason, left
yesterday morning on the first train for
Pittsburg for the purpose of identifying
his property, should this prove to he the
right clue.

The Trim Alar* Prows Too Much For llif
Kcotfrinle Ball Player*.
On Saturday afternoon tlie return
game of base ball between tlie Texas
Stars and the Scottdale base bail team
was played on (tie Morewood grounds.
Tlie game on Saturday previous at Scott-diilo
was interfered with by the rain be
fore five innings had been played and
tlio indications at that time were of a
very decided victory for the Scottdale
boys.
Having selected Mr. .T. R. Byrne of the
Scottdale "Independent” ns umpire, tbe
Texas boys lost tbe toss and went to the
bat. Before retiring they opened tlie
score sheet for one run through an error
of tlie visitor’s second baseman. Tlio
visitors in their half of the inning failed
to catch on to Alilbee’s curves and they
retired in one, two three order. The
Stars secured a run in the second, two in
tho third, one each in tbe fourth and
fifth, four in the Bixth one in the eight
and were whitewashed in the seventli
ninth innings. Tbe visitors were treated
to a succession of goose eggs in every in-ning
except the fifth. In the fifth one
player after the other stepped over the
batsman’s lineB and by a succession of
foul strikes coupled with fielding errors
piled up four runs. If the home team
had laid out their base lines ami bats-man’s
box, the Scottdale would have
lieen shut out without a run. Tlie nm
piring was done in a very fair and im-partial
manner by Mr. Byrne and tbe
runs secured are only attributal to tlie
home team’s neglect. Tlie visitors nre
a gentlemanly set of ball players, but
they must practice on batting curve
pitching before they play the Stars again'
Everything moved along harmoniously
and the team returned home with tlie
hope of giving our boys a warming up at
the next meeting. Tlie Scottdale team
was made up of Myers. J. White, A.
Geyer, It. White, B. Geyer, E. Oswald),

Ten Tlion.antl UnrrclM DcMroyed at Clh-son’g
Distillery in Koatruvcr.
On Thursday afternoon while Henry
Noel,an employee at Gibson’s distillery in
llostraver township, was passing through
warehouse No. 2, a barrel of whiskey
broke and caught fire from liis lamp. In
a few minutes the whole structure was
ablaze. There were 8,000 barrels of
whiskey in tlie building, and as the flames
sliot skyward tho people came flocking
to tlie scene of the conflagration to ren-der
aid in subduing the fire. At a great
risk a number of men entered the ware-house
and succeeded in saving eighty-eight
barrels of whiskey. Tlie heat had
by this time become so intense that fur-ther
efforts had to be desisted from.
As tlie fire progressed it became evi-dent
that warehouse No. 3, adjoining No.
2, must also succumb to tlie flames. By
this time a large crowd had gathered,
people from Bellevernon, attracted by
the great volume of smoko that black-ened
tlie skies, flocked to the scene in
hundreds. Owing to tlie nature of the
contents of the warehouse all recognized
the futility of attempting to do anything
toward saving any of it, and the hun-dreds
on the ground had to Btnnd by and
see thousands of dollars’ worth of valua-ble
property destroyed before their eyes
without bei ng able to save any of it.
The flames from theburning warehouse
number two, as it drove tho crowd back,
readied out and caught warehouse num-ber
three, where several thousand bar-rels
more were stored. Then followed a
startling scene. Tlie air was rent with a
senes of explosions, while tho burning
whiskey flashed in successive pyramids
of flame into tbe air in the midst of a
dond-)ike mass of smoke. There would
he at times a score of simultaneous ex-plosions,
some sharp and well-defined,
others heavy and mnfUed, while at the
same lime a shower of hissing, seething
liquid would be tossed into mid air half a
hundred feet above the warehouse walls.
To tbe spectators stationed at a safe dis-tance
tbe burning warehouses appeared
like twin volcanoes.
The total loss is estimated at from 10,-
abont tho heed. Frank -Myers r80**Ttt* |000 to 11,000 barrels of whiskey, valued
a large gash across the heod.

Handle called him to hurry up for Ward

a revolver shot which hastened liis steps

The Pennsylvania Argus is rather
peppery in its comments on the IJukes

“We give an account of the dastardly and
cowardly assassination of N. L. Dukes byJIni
Nutt, eldest son of Cnpt. Nutt, who lost his
life In an attempt to murder or brutally bent
and abuse Dukes In his own room at his
hoarding house In Unlontown in December
lust.”
“Dukes was Indicted for murder, tried nnd
acquitted on the ground of self-defence. In-deed,
according to the law and evidence, and
their solemn oaths, no sane men could render
any other verdict.”
^Venal Wretches, frantic to make a little
political cnpitnl, disregarding the decorum
due justice on tho rendition of the verdict,
and crazed, idiotic politicians of the baser
sort, assembled and indulged in most disre-putable,
Inflammatory speeches and resolu-tions,
In effect invoking the murder of Dukes
and the Jury who tried hint. This base and
lawless persecution continued until the cul-mination
of the murder of Dukes on Wednes-day
evonlng last.”
“The scalawags who disgraced themselves
by bolding Indignation meeting nnd making
inflammatory spoochcs|are responsible for the
assassination of Dukes.”
THE GAME ROOSTER.
Whether be be minister or layman,
lawyer or client, merchant, mechanic or
business man, there is hardly a member
of the human race who does not stop
anti admire the qualities of tho game
rooster and quietly wish, as he stands
gazing at tho rooster, that another of
the same breed would happen along for
a gallinaceous sparring match. A roostor
fight hasn’t much elegance about it, but
there is plenty of hard work and fuss
and flying feathers. It sometimes hap-pens
that tho warlike habits of the
game cock lead to (ho stirring up of the
gall of bitterness nnd bonds of iniquity
spirit in mankind, nnd the battle of the
chickens is fought over again by tho re.
spectivo owners of tho fowls. This is
not commendable. Dogs delight to bark
and bito nnd roosters to crow and fight,
for it is their natures to do so according
to an eminent composer; but angry pas-sions;
are reprehensible among mortals.
Over at Lntrobe there lives a man who
owned a game rooster in whose fighting
qualities lie reposed great faith. This
game rooster strayed around to a hoard-ing
ltonse and was decapitated wilfully,
maliciously and feloniously by a boarder
thereof, contrary to the peace nnd dig-nity
of the Commonwealth and the
rooster. Tho owner of the fowl, as soon
as he saw his pet flopping about in two
sections, donned his war harness and
sallied fotth to avenge the wrongs of the
slaughtered fowl. Willi the ready re-volver,
that exponent of Western Penn-sylvania
justice, lie encountered the de-stroyer
of his happiness nnd his chicken
nnd proceeded to file his objections to
tho procedure of his opponent. Hot
words stirred tip wrath and the revolver
came forth to punctuate the rounded
periods of fowl eloquence which flowed
from the rooster's owner’s lips. The
slayer, in order to bo or. even terms,
rushed to his fortress and secured a
double-barreled shot gun so that he
might stand on even shooting terms with
die bird fancier. Upon his appearance
several revolver bnllets went whistling
by liis bead cans'ng him to duck his
bend in order to avoid meeting the fate
of the rooster which had yielded its life
bric-a-brac and they should be disposed to hiB destroying band. The revolver
man, after displaying his unexcelled
ability at firing wide, turned to retreat,
speed attained by Hie target was wonder-ful
to behold. When ho reached home
he found that he had enough soldering
material buried in that part of bis ana-tomy
covered by his coat tails to mend
tho severed parts of the dead chicken,
and tho territory only needed develop-ment
to turn into a first-class lead mine.
A physician was summoned, the tnrget
up-ended, and tho work of digging out
shot was still going on by the latest ad-vices.
As the target stands around eat-ing

refusing all invitations to sit down and
rest awhile ho has come to the conclu-sion
thnt he will forswear roosters liore-after

THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS.
The days come on apace when the
forces of nature combine to make man’s
habitation unpleasant. Tho sun,the air,
the homes are heated, and with the heat
comes worry nnd trouble and vexation of
spirit. The towns and cities with their
heated streets are deserted except by
those who are unable to leave their bus-iness
pursuits long enough to get a breath
of fresh air. Tho mountain with its re-freshing
breezes, and tho seashore with
its tempting beach conspire together nnd
each holds cut inducements for the
wearied and perspiring toiler. The
thought of tramps through the moun-tains
with fishing rod or gun, or a dash
into tho waves of the restless sea brings
little comfort to the poor American
whose purse doesn’t keep step with his
wishes, nnd whoso only recreation is to
wander aimlessly about town and bless
the weather. With the balance of the
all the year around workers, the poor
editor labors at the desk, grinding nnd
perspiring nnd perspiring nnd grinding
until lie almost wishes that tho people
would lose the art of being able to read
during warm weather. However he is
unselfish enough to wish that his more
fortunate neighbors may have tho jolli-est
time imaginable while he bravely
writes up the pleasures of life from ob-servation
and not from experience. Thus
it goes and now the holiday season is
upon us. From mountain, lake and sea-shore
come the most tempting offers of
fun and jollity. We glance over them,
sigh for the riches so hard to get, and
having glanced we resolutely turn the
tempting offers into tho waste basket and
take our place in the tread mill. It Isn’t
all circus and free lunch in editorial life
and still the world jogs along.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Tho pnssngo of the Civil Service Re-form
bill and its practical operation has
not been tested yet but it is believed
that it will do a great deal of good in
securing competent officials and break
up to a great extent tho appointment of
unworthy men who have secured their
situations, not through any fitness for
office, hut rather for their ability to con-trol
the rounders at a political caucus.
The reform bill provides for an honest
and business-like style of conducting the
sorvico hut it cannot keep a watch upon
tho carrying out or its provisions. The
Association therefore advises tho forma-tion
of reform clubs throughout the na-tion
whose business it shall be to see
that the law is observed, that no Con-gressional
interference be hereafter al-lowed
and that the reform bo extended
intoStateand municipal affairs. Political
sentiment seems to be tending in a
healthy direction now nnd the civil ser-vice
reformers see a glorious prospect
ahead. We confess that we are not so
enthusiastic on the subject and wo see
the millennium of ideal politics as with
a glass darkly. Human nature in poli-tics
is not to be depended upon and tho
trust placed on reformation goncrally de-velops
into a sound fall upon the break-ing
ol the weak reed of partisan honesty.
In politics and horse trading an honest
man must tako the back seat or ho is
bound to come out of tho litttlo end of
tiie born. The reformers have our sym-pathies
while we will koep our cash.

The indications lor improved railway

their Youngivood branch, by way of our

for a road from here to Punxutnwney, in
Jefferson county, which will open up a
hitherto undeveloped country nnd bring
us into close connection with tho famous
lumber districts of that region. With

Tho only dissolver of tho poisonous uric
add which exists in the blood of rheumatic
and gouty patient \
8ALICYLIOA Is known as a cotnmon-sonsc
remedy, because it strikes directly nt tho
cause of Rheumatism, Gout und Neuralgia,
while so many so-called spedlies and sup-posed
panaceas only treat local Is’ theeffeds.
It has been conceded by cininont scientists
that outward applications, such as rubbing
with oils, ointments, liniments, and sooth-ing
lotions will not eradicate these diseases
which aro the result of the poisoning of tho
blood with Uric Add.
SALICYLICA works with marvelous effect
on this add and so removes the disorder. It
Is now exclnsivdy used by all celebrated
uhysieinns of America and Europe. Highest

THE JOURNAL—MY PLEASANT. PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 188*1;
ENDING Tllli WAR.
THE SURRENDER AT APPOMATTOX.
I.itllr PU11 SllrrUllu* Toll. of (lie ITosInB
Scene* In I He. Hebelllon When
I.ee Snrrentleeeil,
In thu July number of the North
American Review, Phil Sheridan fui-nishes
an interesting account of I.ee’s
surrender. After tellint; of the hemming
in of the robs at Appomattox, Sheridan
says:
Before sunrise, General Ord came in
reporting the near approach of his com-ina*
i- After a hasty consultation about
positions to be taken up by the incoming
troojb, we were in the saddle and oil for
the front, in the vicinity of Appomattox
court house. As we were approaching
the village a heavy line of (Jonfederate
infantry was seen advancing, and rapid
tiring commenced. Riding to a slight
elevation, where I could get a view ot
the advancing enemy, I immediately
sent directions to General Merritt for
(.'aster’s and Devons’ divisions to fall
slowly back, and as they did so to with-draw
to our right Hank, thus unmasking
Ord’s and Gibbon’s infantry. Crook and
Mackenzie, on the extreme left, were
ordered to hold fast. Shortly afterward
I returned from General Ord to the front
making for General Merritt’s battle-flag
on the right flank of the line. On reach-ing
it, tho order to advance was given,
and every guidon was bent to the front,
and as we swept by toward tne left of t lie
enemy’s lino of battle, lie opened a
heavy fire of artillery. No hoed was paid
to the deadly missiles, and, with the
wildest yells, we soon reached a point
some distance to iiis right and nearly
opposite Appomattox court house. Be-yond
us, in a low valley, lay Lee and the
remnant of his army. There did not
appear to be much organization, except
in the advanced troops under General
Gordon, whom we had been lighting,and
a rear-guard under General Longstreet,
still further up the valley. Formations
were immediately commenced to make a
bold and sweeping charge down the
grassy slope, when an aide-de-camp from
Caster, filled with excitement, hat in
hand, dashed up to mo with the message
from his chief: “Leo has surrendered !
Do not charge; the white flag is up!”
Orders were given to Complete the for-mation,
but not to charge.
CONFhDEttATES DESPAIR.
Looking to the left, to Appomattox
court house, a large group was seen near
by the lines of Confederate troops that
had fallen back to tint point. General
Custer had not come back; supposing
that he was with the group at the court
house, I moved on a gallop down the
narrow ridge, followed by my stair. The
court house was, perhaps, three-fourths
of a mile distant. We had'not gone far
before a heavy fire was opened on us
from a skirt of timber to our right, and
distant not much over 300 hundred
yards. I halted for a moment, and tak-ing
oil’my hat, called out that the flag
was being violated, but could not stop
the firing, which now caused us all to
take shelter in a ravine running para
lei to the ride we were on. I remained
stationary a moment after those events,
then called a staff-officer, directed him to
go over to the group of Confederate
officers, and demand wlmt such conduct
meant. Kind apologies were made, and
we advanced. The superior uAlters met
were General .1. B. Gordon and General
Cadmus M. Wilcox, the latter an old
army officer. As soon as the first greet-ing
was over a furious firing commenced
in front of own cavalry, from whom we
had only a few minutes before separated.
General Gordon seemed to be somewhat
disconcerted by it., 1 remarked to him,
“General Gordon, your men fired on me
as I was coming over here,nml,undoubt-edly,
they have done the same to Mer-ritt's
and Custer’s commands. We might
just ns well let them fight it out.” To
this proposition General Gordon did not
accede. I then asked, “Why not send a
slntT-offieer and have your people cease
firing? They are violating the flag?”
lie said, “1 have no staff-officer to send.”
I replied, “I will let you have one of
mineand calling for Lieutenant Van-derbilt
Allen, ho was directed to report
to General Gordon and carry his orders.
The. orders were to go to General Geary,
who was in command of a small brigade
of South Carolina cavalry, and ask him
to discontinue the firing. Lieutenant
Allen dashed off with tlie message, hut.
on delivering it to General Groary, was
taken prisoner, with the remark from
that officer that lie did not care for white
flags ; that South Carolinians never sur-rendered.
MEnurrr’g LAST CIIAROR.
It was about this time that Merritt,
getting impatient at the supposed
treacherous firing, ordered a charge of
a portion of liis command. While Gen-erals
Gordon and Wilcox wee engaged
in conversation with me, a cloud of dust
a wild hurrah, a (lashing of sabers’ indi-cated
a charge, and the ejaculations of
my staff officers were heard, “Look!
Merritt has ordered a charge!" The
flight of Grenry’s brigade followed;
Lieutenant Alien was thus released. The
last gun had been fired, and the last
charge made in the Virginia campaign
While the scenes tints related were
taking place, the conversation I now
Speak of was occurring between General
Gordon nml myself. After tbo first salu-tation,
General Gordon remarked; “Gen-eral
Lee asks lor a suspension of host i I:-
ties pending ttio negotations which lie
has been having .for the last day and
night with General Grant.” J rejoined:
“I have been constantly informed of the
progress of the negotiations, and think it
singular that, while such negotalions are
going on, General Lee should have con-tinued
his march and attempted to break
through my lines this morning with the
view of escaping. 1 can entertain no
terms expect the condition that Geuerul
I.ee will surrender to General Grant on
his arrival hero. I have sent for him.
If these terms arc not accepted we will
renew hostilities.” General Gordon re
7#ffl: “General“Lee’s army is exhaus-ted.
There is no doubt of his surrender
to General Grant on his arrival.”
General Wilcox, whom I knew quite
well, lie having been captain of the com-pany
to which I was attached as a cadet
at tlie military academy, then stepped to
his horse, and, taking told of the saddle-hays,
said in a jocular way; “Here,Sher-idan,
take these saddle-bags; they have
one soiled shirt and a pair of drawers
You have burned everything else I hud
in the world, and I think you are enti-tled
to these also.” He w as alluding, of
course, to the destruction of the baggage
trains which had been going on for some
days.
Till! ARRIVAL OF OEN'ERAL ORANT.
When the terms above referred to
were settled, each army agreed lo remain
in xtatue qou until the arrival of General
Grant. We had waited some hours, and,
I think, about, 12 or 1 o’cldok General
Grant arrived. General Ord, myself,
and several officers were in the ln.iin
road leading through the town, at a point
where Lee’s army was visible. General
Grant rod.o up and greeted me with,
“Sheridan, how are you?” I replied, “I
am very well, thank you-.’’ lie then
said: “Whore is Lee?” I replied ; “There
is his army down the valley ; he is over
in that house (pointing out McLean’s)
waiting to surrender to you.” General
Grant, still without dismounting, said;
“t’ouie, let us go over.” lie then made
the same request to General Ord, and we
all went to McLean’s house. Those wild
entered with General Grant were, as
nearly ns I can recollect, Ord, ltawlins,
Seth Williams, Ingalls, Babcock, Barker
and myself; the staff officers, those who
accompanied, remaining outside on the
porch steps and in the yard. On enter-ing:
the parlor we found General I.ee
standing in company with Colonel Mar-shall,
his aide-de-camp. The first greet-ing
was to General Belli Williams, who
had been Lee’s adjutant when he was
superintendent of the military academy.
General Lee was then presented to Gen-eral
Grant, and all present were intro-duced.
General I.ee was dressed in a
new gray uniform, evidently put on for
the occasion, and wore a handsome
sword. He had on his face an expres-sion
of relief from a heavy burden.
General Grant’s uniform was soiled with
mild ami Rerviee, and he wore no sword.
After a few words had been spoken by
those who knew General Lee, all the
officers retired, except, perhaps,onestalf
officer of General Grant’s, and the one
who was with General I.ee. We bail
not been absent from-the room longer
than about five minutes, when General
Babcock came to the door and said: “The
surrender has taken place—you can cume
in again.”
110W IT BNDED.
When we re-entered, General Grant
was writing on a little wooden, elliptical
shaped table (purchased by me from Air.
McLean, and presented to Mrs. G. A.
<1—*-r) the conditions of the surrender.
General Leo was sitting, liis hands rest-ing
on the hilt of liis sword, to the left
of General Grant, with his back to a
small marble-topped table, on which
many hooks were piled. While General
Grant was writing, friendly conversation
was engaged in by General Lee and his
aid with the officers present, and lie
took from his breast pocket two de-spatches
which had been sent to him by
me during the forenoon, notifying him
that some of his cavalry, in front of
Crook, were violating tlie agreement en-tered
into by withdrawing. I had not
had time to make copies when they were
sent, and had made a request’ to have
them returned, lie handed them to me
with the remark, “I am sorry. It is pos-s.
ble my cavalry at that, point, of the line
did not fully understand the agreement.”
About one hour was occupied in draw-ing
up and signing the terms, when Gen-eral
Lee retired from the house with a
cordial shake of the hand with General
Grant, mounted liis chunky gray horse,
and, lifting liis hat, passed through the
A Sl'ilP RAILWAY
ACROSS THE ISTHMUS O? DARIEN.
An Interesting Description of llio Work
Which Will Shorten the Distance Be-tween
Atlantic nml Pacific Seaports.
The Tehuantepec ship railway will be
located on the Isthmus of Darien, mid
will be distant from the Isthmus of Pan-ama,
where Do Lessepf proposes to con-struct
a canal, 1,250 miles, and lienee the
ship railway will be just that distance
nearer to the United States.
On April 30 the work on the ship rail-way
was officially inaugurated by tlie
commencement of grading, papers to
that effect being placed on record with
tlie Mexican Government. Tlie compa-ny
now lias ten years from the 1st ol
May, 18S3, in which to complete the
work. The construction was inaugurated
at a point twenty miles distant from tlitj
seaport town of Minnititlun. The Ch]w
Engineer, Mr. Vint Lroeckleii, ill chjffige
of tlie surveys made a report whiqajawlvas
received a tew days ago in whichTt was
stated that the line had been gone over
from Minnititlun to a point forty miles
inland. This line, lie states, is over ex-tremely
favorable ground without curves
or cuts, gently undulating country, with-out
swamps or streams to cross. Tlie
entire line is 1(50 miles long. Four full
corps of engineers are at work closing up
tlie unsurveyed portions between the
southern end and the Pacific coast, and
tlie lino is being cross sectioned and
plotted so that the cost of grading tlie
road can be accurately estimated. These
surveys will be completed on August 1,
when Captain Eads will go to England
to confer with tlie capitalists now inter-ested
and who are only waiting for ac-curate
details of tlie cost which, if satis-factory,
will result in tlie consummation
of tlie construction of the railway.
Captain Eads is now in New York
working on tlie detailsof tlie ear to carry
ships on tlie railway, while several gen-tlemen
in London aro engaged on plans
and methods of lilting vessels from the
water lo tlie railway. The plan looked
upon with greatest favor is the hydraulic
lift. These lifts are now in use at tlie
Victoria docks on tlie Thames, where
tlie lift lias a capacity of lifting a vessel
of-1,000 tons burden ; one at tlie Island
of Malta, in the Mediterranean Sea, with
a lifting capacity of 8,000 tons, and the
latest and largest at the portof Bombay,
in tlie East Indies, by means of which
12,000 tons can be bandied. At this
dock the largest iron-clad vessels of the
British navy can be handled with ease
Colonel Andrews stated that few weeks
ago lie visited the Victoria docks and
saw one of the vessels of the Anchor
line of 3,700 tons burden, with 700 tons
of coal in the hold, lifted up high and
dry in just 24 minutes. It was accom-plished
*io easily that it reminded him
of a Hotel elevator going from the first to
the top floor. Vessels with full cargo
and passengers on board are often ban-died
in these docks.
Tlie plan to be pursued at the termini
of the ship railway is similar to the
above system. There will bo n double
row of largo columns placed in the water,
each supplied with a hydraulic jack.
Beams will extend across from one side
to the other, a distance of fifty feet. On
these beams will be placed matching
the rails on the shore. The hydraulic

the carriage, which will be similar to n
dry dock on wheels, will be run on the
platform, and the dock, which will le
composed ol‘ iron and steel, and tlie
platform, will be submerged in order to
allow the ship to be floated on top. The
carriage will then he forced up under
the hull of tlie vessel and the supports
will lie composed of hundreds of hy-draulic
jacks, which will have a uniform
bearing under the bottom. Tlie entire
structure will be lifted, and tlie carriage
bearing tlie ship rolled off to shore.
The railway will consist of six rails
covering a width of forty feet. There
>vill he no curves whatever, and the car
will have ?,CU0 wheels, which will touch
the track three feet apart for the length
and width of the carriago. The first di-vision
of the road will bo forty miles
long, and there a change will bo made
run by steam
power to a new lino. There will be
three turn tables in the entire line.
By means of the construction of the
ship-railway, the distance between Lou-don
and Bail Francisco for vessels will be
reduced 8,000 miles or eighty days travel.
As an illustration of the great benefit
this would cause to shippers the follow-ing
statement can be given : The wheat
crop of California, Oregon and Washing-ton
Territory will aggregate three mil-lion
tons of wheat. Now the cargo of a
ship loaded with grain at Ban Francisco

Tho close observers of last season’s at-tractions
at summer resorts noted tho
tedded prominence which Cape May
took in the competition for patronage,
and as well the great success which fol-nved.
Stimulated with the result of its
efforts, tho famous old watering place
comes to the fore with a list of entertain-ments
that will continue without inter-ruption
from Juno 30 until far into Sep-tember,
and of a character nn<l variety
that will satisfy tho sojourner for the
season as well as Die transient visitor.
Frequenters of tho Capo are familiar j by lneall8 of a'tunitablo
with tho groat lawn of tho Stockton Ho-tel,
with its unobstructed view of tho
shore drive and the surf beyond. An
iniineiiso pavillion, capable of accommo-dating
an orchestra of 100 musicians yrith
a portable extension for seating 500chor-isters,
is now being erected, and an addi-tion
to tho porclios is being made by
llooring in 8,000 loot of tlie lawn adjoin-ing,
thus making a grand dancing pavil-ion
and auditorium unequalled on the
roast.
Operatic, oratorio and promcnado con-certs
and balls ate to bo given on a scale
of completeness and grandeur uever be-fore

panied by full band and drum corps. I is irrespective of the fluctuations of the
t)ross parade of the Feneiblos Saturday
evening.
Thero will be a grand concert in the
new pavilion during the afternoon, and
at night a hop complimentary to the
Fencibles, with a lawn concert alternat-ing.
On Sunday, July 1st, there will boa
battallion drill with exibitions of load-ing
and firing, closing with dress pa-rade,
a sacred concert in tlie afternoon,
and in the evening a sacred concert by
tlie combined orchestra and military
band.
Other attractions have been arranged
for every afternoon and evening during
tlie week following, commencing on
Monday afternoon with a concert by a
grand military band. Although not en-tirely
perfected, the arrangements will
likely include a groat and novel display
of fireworks on the 4tii, with concerts
and other features.
Excursion tickets will be sold on Juno
29th from Greensburg, Uniontown and
Connollsville at rate $10.00 for the round
trip on special train leaving Greensburg
at 9:36 a. in. Uniontown, 7:05 a, in. and

accrue on arbitarry dates fixed by the
Exchange. By means of tlie shin canal
tho first eighty days will he eliminated
and thus the shipper obtains fifteen
pence per cental per 100 pounds more
when the vessel sails than at present.
This value amounts to ?<i per ton, which,
on a crop of three million tons, would
aggregate Bl.3,000,000, a sum that would
pay twenty per cent, dividend on the
cost of the railway. The freightage on
grain from San Francisco to London is
from eighteen to twenty dollars per ton,
and London ship owners say they would
willingly pay one-third of the freightage
in toils and he able to cross tlie Isthmus
of Tehauntepec. The grain trade is hy
no iiieans tlie biggest feature of the traf-fic
which now goes around Gape Horn,
as the trade of China, Japan and the
western countries of South America
should ho taken into consideration. The
distance from the railway to tho mouth
of tlie Mississippi is 700 miles, and so if
the railway ho constructed it will become
a possibility for Pittsbug iron and glass
works as well as other industries ship-ping
goods to South American States to
make a big saving in time and freightage

ABDUCTING A GIRL.
A I'oims Lndy flurried Off to Ihe Mown
tains front Dunbar.
The town of Dunbar was thrown into
a slate of wild excitement on Saturday
night by information being received that
Miss Kate Robbins had been abducted
by her lover, David Gilliland, a fireman
on the B. ft 0. railroad. Gilliland had
been before a magistrate atConnellsviile
charged by friends of the girl with hav-ing
murdered her, but lie proved that
she was alive and so escaped. An officer
and a relative started to take the girl to
Connellsville, but Gilliland, who had
hired a horse and buggy, passed them
on tho road, arrived at D. A. Kifi’er’s
house in Dunbar, where Miss Robbins
was stopping, and hurrying her out so
quickly (hat she had not time to dress
herself drove away with the greatest
speed before the officer arrived. It is
supposed that they have taken to the
mountains and that her lifeless body
will yet be found, and she is sail to have
procured abortive medicines and was re-strained
only with the greatest difficulty
by her friends from taking her own life-
Some even go as far as to assert that he
would kill her rather than that she
should he taken from him, and his every
action in tlio affair proves that he is a
wild, determined and utterly reckless
man. The Bearch is being continued.
