Before they have finished the first bot.

CCNFIDENCE GAME. - On Monday
afternoon as the express trsin on the
A. d. G. w. railroad was approaching
the jamestown aud Franklin crossing,
a passenger, evidently unused to much
railroad travel, approached Major
Derickson of Meadville, who was n
passenger on the train and asked him
if a man who had expressed his goods
from Newly ork to Memp his would have
to stop at the principal stations and
pay the amount due from point to
point. On being answered in the
negative the stranger proceeded to re-
late his story, saying that near Mead
vile, well dressed individual APP
preached him and requested theloan OF
thirty dollars on bond which he pro-
duced and represented to be a gold
bearing security issued from the State
aLd calling for one thousand dollars,
and as an excuse stated that the ex.
press agent would demand the pay
ment of his goods when the train
should arrive at Greenville,and that he
the well dressed individual-must
raise the money. just then No. 2 APP
preached, who said he was the express
agent AMI that the money must be
paid or the goods would 60 no father.
The man, to whom railroad cars and
railroad games were a novelty declared
out of the goodness of his heart that
he had no money or he should GER
tainly relieve brother in distress.
Thus checkmated the confidence men
went forward to the smoking car, and
were followed their by their would be
victim, Maj. Derrickson and the con-
ductor, but they jumped from the train
near the GreeAville water station and
were not again seen-Argms.

NARROW GAUGE RA1LRoAD.--A
narrow gauge railroad. has been pro-
iected from Denver, Colorado, to El
Paso, in New Mexico, distance Of
$50 miles. Parties interested in this
enterprise have contracted for iron for
the shtperstructure in st. Louis. From
the tone of the Colorado papers it ap.
pears that this line will be tapped by
numerous local lines. atforiling a net
work of communication through that
Territory and New Mexico that will
rapidly develop their natural re-
sources. In the mountain regions
these narrow gauge roads-fromtwen-
ty-four to thirty-six inches-present
greater facilities for construction than
common roads in their capacity of.
overcoming high grades and in their
admission of shorter radii of curva-
ture. Their cheapness in construc-
tion is another advantagein the pres
ent financial state Of the Territories,
bringing them within the reach of
comparatively undeveloped sections
of the country. A very considera-
Bile proportion of railroad invest
ments seems likely hereafter to be
made il ia the & marrow gauge roads.
