RAILROAD RUMOR.
THIN DENIAL BY A JOURNAL THAT
MISSED THE NEWS.


MISSED THE NEWS.
The Republican with its accustomed
bluudering stupidity and Ignorance and
its provsrbial envy Of other papers, who
dai'y beat It in gathering news, said yes
terday that the GAZETTE's article pub
II he'd last Saturday concerning the ne
gotiations relating to the Delaware
Western Railroad was false, and "upon
investigation we learned that there are
no such negotia ions and that the Del
aware & Western railroad has no line
TO the Broad Top coal regions"
That the Republican shouli give up
the correction Of its own innLmersble
mist axes, which often make 1t tie laugh
ing stock of town. and endeavor TO brand
a true statement III another paper that
published the news in advance OF 1t,
will of course not excite surprise.
Were il a column article about the
pranks of its "soiled dove" heroines,
which it frequently pa "a 'es before the
public III ity most sensational style, II
it would have rejoiced ut eng tine
GAZETTE thus descending to its own W
level.
One thing in his brilliant it'm wor-
thy of note is that tie repoitorlal "we"
has discovered that the Delaware
Western Railroad has no line TO the
coal fields. Now it is nothing less than
remarkakable that the Repu6Hcdn
should make this discovery at this early
day. II has only been something like
SIX years since it was published that the
Pennsylvania and Delaware Railroad
completed a connection between Viii
mington and Huntington over the ID:
w. X. r., p. d ID. r. r., p. X. H., and
Tyrone and Clearfield r. R. Hunting
ton is the centre of the Broad Top Coal
Region. And yet this, brillilnt writer
learns upon investigation that the ID. w.
X. r., has ono line to the Broad Top
Coal Regions"
Then, 1t was published in the same
paper that the GAZETTE "published In
an article" to the effect that neg'tia-
tions were in progress looking to .he
purchase of the ID. W. Railroad and the
building of pier on the river &C." The
.rammar might he overlooked, but not
the falsebood. The GAZETTE said that
gentlemen were here TO look into the
project and find out how practicable II
was. This statement was correct ant
can be proved, and to the GAZETTE
alone belongs The ere dit of giving The
people this valuable piece of news Of Z
plan which il consummated will be sucl
a benefit.

popGEVIIl.E FLEECERs.

UNITED STATES HOTEL, MINERAL
POINT, Wis. August 9th. lS19.-The
game of ball between the FleecerS of
Dodgeville, Wis. and the Head Lights
of Mount Carol, Ill.,. resulted in n
victory for the latter by 4 score Of -
to IL.
\ CARD.
We, the Head Lights, take this
method of extending TO the base hall
club Of Dodgoville, our heartfelt
thanks and gratitude for the Very lib
eral abuse, i'll treatment and uugentle-
manly conduct dealt toward us during
and after the game.
Ii was the intention ot our club To
stay over night with the RoNS, but We
thought it was prudent e depart for
other quarters Indeed. we were
FORCED to leave the town, for several
persons had taken it upon themselves
to pick a quarrel with us. Two Of
our party We're showed aside by BuL-
LY and told to keep their distance. In
return of such conduct we decided to
leave. We shook the dust off our feet
upon them, and resolved that if ever
they played another game with us
they would first get upon thcir knees
and ask our pardon.
In the base ball profession, the
Fleecers Were inferior; in tho kick
ing line superior. Verify, they are
4 set of FLEECERs. sQvEALEEs, NICK
ERS and DODGERS, in every point of
ball game.
The very smallest thing caused u
command from the captain for time.
An illustrations: a small dog about
the size of Norway rat was standing
exactly fourteen feet and eleven
inches from the base; IL, the captain,
must have time to place the canine
back ONE inch. such conduct ran the
game along for five hours, making it
very interesting and entertaining.
We try to ack the gentleman where
ever we go, and expect III return
good treatment; always giving credit
for such, and, when we meet u party
as we did to-day, who are SO far lost
to reason rs to be not even courteous
to strangers, we delight in giving such
puppies their due.
Fleecers, your passions have control
of your reason, and not until you
overcome passions and be master Of
self, and become gentlemen YOU can
never expect the good will Of il visit
