the vote cast was but little more than
half the poll tor President in 1876. The
Republican candidate tor Police Magis-

State the Republicans carried Pitts

Norristown, making gains in Lam
caster and Easton to offse! Democratic
gains in Willismsport and Allentown.
The Democrats carried York, Williams

HUNTING NEW HOMES IN THE
WEST.

The Hempfeld train brought down
from Washington, yesterday morning,
about forty passengers on their way to
new homes in Kansas and Nebraska.
Among them were several families, with
their household goods, who intend to set
tic there at once, the balance being pros
pective settlers who go to look out favor
able locations.

porter that another excursion Will leave

WASHINGTON AND WELLSBURG
NARROW-GACGE.

Last Saturday evening very large
meeting was held at Washington, Pa, In
the interest OF the proposed Narrow
Gauge Railroad from that place 10 Wells
burg. Mr.. A. q. HAYES, the general
Superintendent of the Pittsburgh and
Castle Shannon road, by special invita-
ton, addressed the meeting. In the
course of his remarks, as printed IN the
Reporter, he said:
"The question is, not whether this road
from the Ohio river, through one OF the
richest parts of the county, will be built,
for that is certain, but whether the east
ern terminus of the road will be Wash
ington or Hustonville, six miles away.
If a. the latter place, then 1t
will be easy for the Castle
Shannon road to make junction
with It and thus leave Washington en-
tirely to herself. He referred to the com.
psrative value OF the narrow and standard
gusee roads, giving preference to the
latter. on account of the cheapness OF
operation. The narrow gauge is cheaper
because 1t can make smaller curves, and
ascend higher grades, it occupies less
land, it requires less material for con-
struclion and in running carries less dead
weight in proportion to its load"
President GEORGE p HAYS, Hon.
JOHN II. EWING and others addressed
the meeting In advocacy of the proposed
enterprise. A committee composed OF
Messrs. W. w. SMITH, V. HARDING, j.
p. MILLER, A. t. BAIRD and A. b.
Caldwell was appointed to call upon
the citizens Of the borough and vicinity
to ascertain immediately what money
could be raised for the building of the
road, said committee to report to meet
ing to be held at the same place next
Saturday evening.
All of which looks like business. The
quiet OF our sister town, Wellsburg, will
soon be disturbed again by the thrush
ing locomotive from the rich county OF
Washington. So be it.
