THE Panhandle Nevs is still trying to
find out something concerning the con-
ditiou and prospects of the P, W. q
X. railroad, but without any startling
success thus far. In this weeks lssu,

from the railroad has not been answer

the prospect of it's completion contln-
ues. 1t would he very satisfactory to
the public mind if "pronuncismento
were issued, or Old Probabilities would
try his hand on it. TIE people have
responded well to the calls made upon
them and would respectfully ask that
their present anxiety be relieved. The
public has also been looking for a re-
port from the committee appointed by
tie Ohio County Commissioners to ex-
anime the books of the P, W. Il X.
railroad, last April. If any examina-
ton and report was made. where is 1t?
These remarks are not made in captl-

What examination has been made
by the Ohio county committee ana
what report has been prepared are still
unknown to thousands. In this con-
nection it may be proper to ask what
have the Welsburg subscribers to the
capital stock done toward paying their
subscription We are informed that
the road would have been ready TO hand
over to the Pennsylvania Company on
the Goth of this month if the subscrip.
ton had been promptly paid.

handle gun unless you know how
always carry gun at half-cock. The
fourth rule we give entire. "lf you
know of no other way Of ascertainlng
whether a gun is loaded or not than by
putting the muzzle to your mouth and
blowing, or if you feel inclined to draw

any-before you kill or MAIN other

man AIlle0.
Passengers by the eastward bound
mail train on the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad which arrived in this city at
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon report a
collision in the Great Bend tunnel, west
Of the White Sulphur, between an east
ward bound freight train and a west
ward bound coal train, resulting In the
killing OF Mr.. Robert II. Hagan, fire.
man Of the freight train, son OF John
Hagan, ESQ.,, of this city, and the
wrecking OF twelve cars: :,
The accident occurred about . clock
on Monday morning. The coal train
left Covington at 1915 on Sunday
night. and the freight train left Hinton
at I o'clock on Monday morning, the
the two meeting, as above stated, in the
tunnel. Mr.. Hsgau is represented to
have been caught between the engine
and tender, and that his suferipgs were
of the most horrible character, and
that he implored the engineer to kill
him. The engineer, having been stun.
ned himself, was afraid that in the fall
some limb was broken, and was unable
to move for some moments after the
accident occurred.
N. Hsgan had been married bus
four months. and it isa little singular
that on the night before he was killed
his wife dreamed that the train had
been thrown from the track, and that
the engineer had been killed, but that
her husband was unhurt. At the
breakfast table several hours before
the accident occurred, she mentioned
her dream, and predicted a casualty OF
some kind.
The remains of young Hagan, &C.
companied by his wife, reached the
city yesterday afternoon by the mail
train. He will be buried at 4 o'clock
this afternoon from the residence Of
his father, No. 767 Seventeenth street.

AN amendment to the Constitution
Of New Jersey, providing that during
the term Of office of the Governor ne
shall not be elected to any office under
the United States or State, was recent
" presented to the Constitutional Conn
mission of that State and defeated. This
section WAS aimed at practice which
is becoming far too common In our
country, In scores of cases Governors
of States have used their positions to
secure a seat in the Senate Of the United
States, thus making an improper and
dangerous use of the Gubernatorial
prerogatives-a use totally at variance
with the spirit OF Republican form OF
government. Such practices should be
sto1 ned, and it would have been a
feather in the caps OF Jerseymen to
have led the column Of reform 10 regard
to this matter.

completely conquered; I threw the
spade out of my hands and rushed

which would of course have hurried
me to the gallows. And If not

Improved Method. Of Farming.

8 p i.
With ell Of their advantages Of
soil and climste, improved agricul-
tural implements and labor-saving
machinery, the great mass OF Ameri.
can farmers have earned the repu-
tation of doing much OF their work
in q faulty, slip shod manner, from
which they themselves are neces
sarily the greatest sufferers. In
countries where farming has been
brought to q high state of perfec-
ton, as for instance in England. the
system of rotation of crops is rigid
ly adhered to, and with the best Of
results. In some of the older set
tied portions OF the United States
this system is practiced to q limited
extent, but in the West, which is
mainstay Of the whole country, SO
far as agriculture is concerned, it
is the rare exception, destructive
repetitions of the leading crops'be-t
ing the rule, as is shown by recent
answers to inquiries from the De-
partment of Agriculture received
from all sections. This destructive
policy is producing its legitimate
fruit. Some Of the beft wheat
lands, which have astonished the
| world by their enormous produc-
tion, are visibly declining in fertih-
ty. The Commissioner reasons,
from his answers Of correspondents,
that home production for home
consumption, as Q permanent
policy, is q more profitable policy
than the opposite idea that the
profit Of feeding hay and grain is
greater than the profit of selling
those products, and that manure
produced by the farmers stock is
far more profitable and beneficial,
as rule, than commercial fertili-
zers Taking the country through,
it is shown that there is compare
lively little scientific farming, and
that aside from the increase of the
value Of farm lands in consequence
Of the growth Of towns and manu-.
factories, there has of late been
little advance in the price of land
The purely farming lands away
from markets have decreased IN
value; the increase has been in the
States where there is manufactur-
ing, and in those Western States
where the railroad has lately brot'
them in connection with the CEN
tres Of traffic and exchange. What
is peremptorily- needed is . more
thoroughly intelligent cultivation
an adherence to crops which grow
well in any given section, with
proper rotation, and an earnes,
conviction that the only sound and
safe way is to be prudent and keeF
abreast Of the timea Az . rule, the
