Another Warning. About five o'clock
on Saturday afternoon week, while an
east-bound freight train on the Pennsyl-

schedule speed, and when in the vicinity
of the rope ferry across the Juniata riv-

For THE TINES
Our Railroad.


EDITOR TIMES I'm communication
in your paper of the 9th inst, signed
"John Rice,n under the heading "Our
Railroad" the writer, think, suggests
a very good idea in regard to raising the
means to build or construct road. In
our opinion, If each individual who
owns land at distance of from two to
two and half miles along the location
of said road, (about the distance that
Mr.. r.. lives,) would pay from $100 to
$1.50 or $500 for each acre of land, and
each mechanic, merchant, etc., come in
with their amounts, the required capital
could be raised without great exertion.
The amount above mentioned per acre,
made payable in installments would GER
tainly not be burdensome, and would
certainly enhance the value of real
estate, within the distance named to
double the amount required to construct
the road. Let us make an estimate for
the sake of bringing the matter before
the public. Let us suppose that the
road is to be built from Newport to
Loysville, a distant of about fourteen
miles. Let us again suppose that each
one having land within two miles of
either side of said road would come
promptly forward and subscribe but one
dollar for each acre, then We have the

following amount from land owners,
VIZ IA x miles equal 85S40 acres or
$55,640. Now as before said, let mechan-
les, merchants, aud persons who own
lots In the several towns and villages
along the line give something. and the
amount Is still increased. But this Is
not all, for there are persons living
beyond the limits of our supposed loca.
tiOn, who would give liberally IL the
road is guaranteed to be made or con
structed, but who will not help to build
II as they helped the C. p. f. II. R.u I'm
a lose. But talking about the matter
will never build the road we must work.
Let the officers call meetings at each
point from Newport to Germantown, so
that people can talk the matter over,
after the plan of operation has been
explained to them. Other sections in
the State have railroads which have less
resources to develope than we have
Mr.. r.. wants to hear from the Scribe"
who has ore to ship. Who this cores
pondent Is, do not know, but / am
safe In saying that the operators of ore
in Spring twp, are all men of moderate
circumstances, but 1 will guarantee
them to do their utmost to help a rail-
road. In conclusion, l say let us have
o road by all means. Let us work In
stead of talk. The means are in the
county; the labor is in the county, and
the freight to support 1t Is In the county,
and plenty of 1t. Let Others speak.

On Monday the 5th inst, John Viol,
O miner, met with q serious accident
while putting of blast in the mines,
near Grahamville, Fermanagh town

and supposing that the powder had miss

cause. When within short distance of
the place the blast went off knocking
him senseless. Pieces of slate and rock
penetrated his right eye, cheek, chest
and arm. The injuries were surgically
attended to by DIR. Banks, and at last re-
ports he was convalesing.

Cumberland County. We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week
On Friday morning, Mr.. Levi Smith
was engaged in blasting rocks on his
property In Plainfield. He had put in
the charge and about half the tamping
of blast, and was packing 1t In the u.s.
ual way, exercising usual caution, when
the load exploded the full force striking
Mr.. Smith on the head and breast. He
was taken to his home and DIR. Van
Camp called, who relieved the sufferings
of the injured man as soon as possible.
The most serious injury to Mr.. Smith is
in his eyes, of the extent of which it
will take several days to determine very
grave fears are, however, entertained
Mr.. Smith was badly burned, cut and
bruised on the face, breast, arms and
hands. He is at present we are inform
ed, resting well, with no apprehension
of fatal results. 1t is supposed that the
explosion was caused by the head of a
parlor match in the blasting charge, as
several matches of that kind were found
in the powder after the accident.
On Thursday the 25th of March, some
malicious person broke into the black
smith shop of Adam Gillaugh, near
Kast's tannery, in Frankfort twp, and
stole lot of horse shoes and pair of
boots. Mr.. Gillaugh makes all his horse
shoes himself and the ones stolen were
of a large size and bore his private
mark which consists of a pair of parel-
ell lines the length of a swedge cut
lengthwise upon the shoe.
A daughter of VIM. G. Thrush, baker
was seized with spasms whilst in the
Lutheran Sunday School on Sabbath af-
ternoon. She was carried into the house
of Robert Glass, the sexton, and subse-
quently taken home in carriage.
Mrs. Sullivan, a lady boarder at the
Bentz House, met with painful acci-
dent whilst going down stairs. We are

Color Blindness. examination by
the Pennsylvania railroad company of
the power and accuracy of vision of its
employees still continues and is exciting
much interest and comment not only
among railroad men, but among others
interested in the subject of color blind
ness. All of the company's 5000 train
hands are to be subjected to such an
examination by DIR. Thompson. Thus
far the examination Is said to have been
very satisfactory although there have
been some curious results. One man,
for example, being shown a skein of red
yarn, named its color correctly, but
being told to pick out other skeins to
match 1t, from a bunch before him,
deliberately chose two skeins of blue
and one of yellow. Such man would
be quite capable of hanging out green
lantern when red one was required.
Other eccentricities of the same kind
were observed, although most of the
men have stood the test well.

Attacked by Thief,-On Friday night
about half past o'clock, DIR. John Sci
bert, sent his colored boy, James Jordon
to the stable to look after some matters
before closing up for the night. AS he
was opening the stable door, he noticed
a man put his head around the corner
of the stable. Jim at once told him to
leave or he would shoot. The man then
jumped at Jim, and with long knife
cut the lapel off of the faithful groom g
coat. Jim not caring to face knife of
that size, started for the house, but only
ran few steps, when he was knocked
down. He fell into an ash pile, skin
ming himself considerable. He regained
his feet, when he was again struck at by
the man, this time with the knife, cut
ting the whole back out of his coat
Jim then succeeded in making his es-
cape. DIR. Seibert armed himself and
went to the stable but the william had
fled. Doctor has his suspicion who the
party is and we hope he may have him
put some place where knives are not
used so freely. He is of the opinion that
the man was after his horse.- Franklin
