Surprised Grave Robbers.

The Toledo (O.) Blade says: Last
week old Mrs. Belts, mother of DIR.
Belts, 80 miles from Toledo, died sud
denly. 1t was feared that some doctor
might be tempted to disturb the remains
to satisfy his professional curiosity as to
the cause of death. This, as well as the
fact that there had been considerable
body-snatching in that quarter, prompt
ed the friends to place guard over the
remains
Last night about II O'Clock the grave
robbers appeared. The man who had
been placed on guard had left his post
for a short time, but soon he heard a
wagon approach and stop before the
cemetery fence. The burying ground
is but short distance from the village.
He hurried to the spot, and, looking
toward the grave, he could see three
men standing near it. He ran, and
when within pistol range fired five shots
in rapid succession at the robbers. They
ran out of the ground, but as
he fired the last shot he saw one OF
the men fall, and heard him
cry out to the others, elm shot-don't
leave mel" The guard gave the alarm,
and soon scores of men were in pursuit,
but the men had driven away in the
wagon, and had escaped. When the rob-
bers left the cemetery one hastened to
the wagon-a single, spring wagon
and drove down the road, while the
wounded man assisted by his compan-
ion, hastened to a point near a creek
not far distant, where they took the
wagon. The wounded man bled terri
bly,, it being possible to track him over
his painful route by the blood stains,
and to see not only where he fell, but
also where at the creek he washed his
wounds. The men had not yet begun
to dig the grave, but were prepared to
take out the body in short order.
lodge was in session in the town, and
hardly three minutes after the alarm
was given the cemetery and the road
leading thereto were filled with men

body-snatchers to have been captured

A one-Legged Railway.

An Oil City (Pa.) Derrick correspond
ent describes the elevated one-wheeled,
or, as it is more generally known "one-
legged railroad,'' now being construct
ed by General Stone in the Bradford oil
region. 1t is attracting a good deal of
attention, and there is much speculation
as to the probable success or failure OF
the enterprise. A portion of the line
between Bradford and Tarport is COM
pleted, and one car of peculiar con-
struction has arrived and been placed
on the track. The construction of the
road is simple, rapid and easy. On the
hard ground logs six feet long and from
foot and half to two feet in diameter
are placed at right angles to the line,
and from II to Is feet apart, the dis
tance varying. In these logs vertical
sawed posts, IA by 154 inches, are dove
tailed and wedged. These verticals
vary in height, and by their length the
grade of the road is regulated. On the
top of these verticals the horizontal
pieces to which the rails are spiked are
laid, with their ends squarely against
one another. These sleepers are 10
inches wide by 154 in thickness.
BY a proper arrangement of
vertical and horizontal pieces
of timber the timbers on which
therails are laid are kept firmly in po-
sition, and two wooden rails, three feet
and half below the top of the iron rail
and ~ inches apart, are spiked to the
vertical posts. Across streams and the
swampy ground piles are driven. On
this one rail a saddle-shaped car is
mounted and supported by two wheels,
double flangs The gondola car now
mounted on the portion of the road COM
pleted is % feet long, nine feet wide,
and weighs over 1000 pounds. The
car is adouble-decker, there being room
for freight in the body of the car, and
on each side of the saddle. Twenty
two inches below plane tangent to the
upper wheels, at theslowest point. of
their circumference, four smaller wheels
are placed in horizontal position, and
in the same plane, their circumferences
being ~ inches apart. These run
against the wooden guide rails, and
keep the car in position. The wheels
are attached to standards connected
with the iron framework of the car,
