Double Tracks Over Many Mites Of Railroad
ta Franklin County—Heavier   Ralls
And Stauncher Bridges.
Recently tbis paper announced that
the Washington & Franklin railroad
in this county would be double tracked
in part and it told exclusively that it
would not be long until through passenger trains would run over the B. &
C. V. and W. & F. roads, from P &
B. at Shippensburg to the B. & O. at
Cherry Bun. The announcement then
made is coming nearer to verification
everyday.
The latest news from railroad centres is that J. Pierpont Morgan wants
control of these road so as to have bis
own line from New York, by way of
tbe Jersey Central, P. & B. and B. &
O., to Baltimore. These roads furnish
the connecting link between tbe P. &
B. and B. & O. It may be added that
what Mr. Morgan wants he generally
obtains.
The double tracking of the W. & F.,
for part of its length, was determined
upon definitely. April 3, at a
meeting of the \V. M. directors in
Baltimore.
After the meeting an official statement of its proceedings and of th.
work to be done was given out, a.
follows:
Authority was given to preceed ai
once with the construction of a second
track between Williamsport and
Hagerstown, where the service is verj
heavy. The maxim grade is now _(
feet per mile, which will be reduced
about 33 per cent, upon both the new
and the existing track.
Authority was also given to construct a second track from North
junction, on the opposite side ot
Hagerstown, to Wingerton, tbis
- county, about 6_ miles. This will be
througn an open country and will be
accomplished   at   a   very   moderate
cost.
A second track will be constructed
from Zumbro to near   the western
limits of Chambersburg.    This new
track' will not entail much construction as there is a very long siding between the"*; places.   The authorized
.report of *__.e meeting also says two
miles of second   track will be built
eastwaidly      from     Chambersburg.
Nothing is  said of a  second track
through   Chambersburg   and   it   is
probable none will be built there, as
Water street, on which the single track
is laid, is very narrow.     But it is
possible tbat in the near future there
will be a track built around Chambersburg on the western side. There is an
excellent roadbed for a track through
a' ravine  there and   the statement
that a second track will be built "from
Zumbro to near the western limits of
Chambersburg" would seem to imply
a future construction of a track around
the town. The B. & C. V. now enters
Chambersburg at the extreme south-
em end and not at the western limits.
Tbere are long sidings'to be built at
Greendale, Guilford, Brandon,Culbert-
son and Lurgan and tbere are to be
substituted heavy plate girder bridges
for the light truss bridges now in use
at the three crossings of the Conococheague creek at and near Chambers-
burg, and the substitution of 80-pound
rails for tlie 56s now in use upon tbe
14 miles between Zumbro junction east
of Cha mbersburg, and Lurgan jun ction
east of Shippensburg.
When these improvements are completed the interchange between the
Western Maryland and Philadelphia
& Beading will be made at Lurgan
junction, instead of Shippensburg;
hence the construction at equal joint
expense of siding, water station and
other facilities at Lurgan, the water
supply at which point will be provided
hy an extension of the Shippensburg
town service.
The proposed second track between
Williamsport and Hagerstown, which
is to be a branch of the Potomac Valley railroad, and yard at Hagerstown
will be provided, by the Potomac
Valley railroad company. This work
is estimated to cost $142,650..
The improvements between HagersN-
town and Zumbro will be made by tbe
Washington & Franklin company.
The cost of this work is estimated at
$78,750.
The improvements between Zumbro
junction and Lurgan junction will he
made by tbe Baltimore & Cumberland Valley. The cost of this work is
estimated at $114,560 making the cost
upon tbe three lines $335,960. The
entire work will be placed under contract within tbe next few days and
rushed to completion at tbe earliest
possible moment.
With One flore Small Tax  to   Provide  Revenue   to   Keep   Up   Streets   Question
/lay Be Dropped.

and approved and drafts were granted
for some of them.
Routine business wait discussed and
a number of citizens were heard witb

was tbat when Clayton avenue is extended it be parallel writh South Brood,
in which case it will be necessary to

street to conform to the curve in
Broad street. No action was taken
by council.
By invitation of council, W. T.
Omwake, Esq., was present to represent the Waynesboro wa'er company in the matter of tbe proposed

Susiness Decreased  In Courthouse Offices-
Big volume In Banks.
Now tbat tbe First of April business is ended and the county officials
md bankers bave had the opportunity
if summing up the volume of it, it is
shown tbat tbere was a decrease from
last year except in tbe banks. There
"he volume of business was larger. All
the banks prepared themselves for big
lemands for cash but not all of it was
needed. The deposits were much
heavier than usual while the amounts
paid out were not proportionately
large,   s
In Treasurer Nevin's office there
were smaller receipts than usual but
x greater number of 8 nail taxes, sums
under $50, were paid. Besister and
Becorder Zarger received for record
about 105 papers of various kinds and
recorded 75 satisfactions of mortgages.
Prothonotary Burgner entered up 120
judgments and satisfactions and
receipts. These figures cover tbe
business of Saturday, Monday and
Tuesday, Marcb 30 and April 1 and 2.
They are below those of last year.
VISES BY CONTRACT.
TT is possible tbat Dr. S. A. Martin,
*■■' president of Wilson college, Chambersburg, thinks there are some peculiar people in tbe Pittsburg presbytery
of the Presbyterian church. Some of
the Pittsburg people are certain that
Dr. Martin is a peculiar man.
Some time ago Dr. Martin published, in a Pittsburg paper, an article in
which he criticised the Sunday scbool
severely and pronounced it a failure in
many respects. The members of • the
Presbyterial Sunday scbool. institute
took exception to this and, this week,
replied to Dr. Martin In vigorous language. Thomas'E. Orr said he regarded the views of Dr. Martin "as preposterous, antediluvian and medieval,"
which must certainly "bave come
from an aged man who had never been
in the Sunday school."
. Bev. Jesse L. Cotton and others forcibly combatted the statements of Dr.
Martin and wben-the institute adjourned it was agreed "that Dr.
Martin was sufficiently answered."
Dr. *» artin may, in turn, regard
these peopleas peculiar. And, so, they
are at least equal.
MANY people would say the members of tbe Duke Street Methodist Episcopal church in York are pe- {
euliar. Tbey wanted Bev. G. S.
Woomer, who has been assigned to the
Dilisburg and Wellsville charge, as
their pastor.   In tbeir  wisdom  the
1 bishops, in Chambersburg, this week,
did not see fit to grant their request
and their determination has raised a
I beeeze of no mean pro por '.ions in tbe
j York congregation.
Tbe members have forgotten their
duty and fealty to their cburch and
have declared they will be "real mean"
to tbe man sent to minister to tbem.
He must bear the brunt of the trouble,
although he is innocent of any part
in provoking the disturbance.
These peculiar parishioners have
decided to pay only half as much salary
as heretofore and to refuse to contribute to the bishops' and missionary
funds. Tbis money they will use for
erecting an addition to their church.
Peculiar people tbese are. Some
would say they lack a little of that
broad Christian spirit they are supposed to have been taught.
TJEEtE is surely a peculiar man. His
"■■•* name is James Early. He lives
now near Hagerstown (more properly
his present habitation is tbe Washington county jail) but formerly resided near Chambersburg.
His peculiarity lies in the fact tbat
be forged the names of tbree men to
four notes and thought there* was
nothing wrong in doing so.
"I expected to pay the notes when
they fell due and did not tell the men
about them. What was the use to
worry them?"
He found out .hat there was some
use after all, when he was arrested
for forging the names of Henry Hol-
zapfel, Lew_S~Wiebel and G. A. Cr easier to notes aggregating $380 and was
sent to jail because he could not furnish $1000 bail. He did not want to
go to prison, be said. He saw no
reason for his incarceration,and want*
ed to walk out of the justices offices Ut
bis borne.
Because be beld sucb opinions some
people regard him as peculiar, while
from his point of view he fancies that
many other people are infected with
the characteristic they ascribe to
him.

To Catch Men Who Fire Forests.
Forest fires bave become a source of
mucb expense to the county. As eon-
stables are empowered to employ assistants in fighting the fires, it sometimes happens that men set fire to tbe
underbrush to start a fire that will
result in their employment. The
amount of money paid tbem frequently amounts to nearly a thousand
dollars a year. To check tbis propensity to start fires, the county commissioners have appointed ten good
men in various sections of the county
to act as fire detectives.   They will

'-The Messrs. Bahauser are fond of
fine borseS and have recently begun
breeding standard-bred stock on an
extensive scale. With their experience
ind energy tbey should quickly push
their stables to a prominent place on

half-a-dozen others equally as fast and
equally as reliable tbey will have the
beginning of a formidable string.
"Of course, we appreciate that it
means much to the county to have a
large breeding stable here. It will not
only advertise us but will bring lots of
money into tbe county.
"The grass grown about Greencastle
and this section of tbe county is succulent and is almost equal to if not altogether as good as the famous blue
grass of Kentucky. In fact we do not
yet know tbe possibilities of this
county as a grazing country for standard-bred or thoroughbred stock. The
venture of the Messrs. Bahauser will
reveal them thoroughly."
