GAINED AND RLNGED.


Some few.weeks 'ago Mr.. P. h, Mcclure, fore
man, and some ef the men employed on the Rob
ardsyille tunnel, on the Connotton Valley Rail-
way, conceived the idea to make the contractor
Capt. ], M. Sullivan, a valuable and substantial
present, as token OF their esteem and regard. All
Of the men subscribed literally and willingly and
Mr.. Mcclure was made committee OF one to
purchase the present. He visited the jewelry
store Of J. A. Meyer, Esq. in this city and con-
tracted for cane and solid plain gold ring The
cane was ready on Saturday last; II is fine ebony
stick with beautiful IS karat gold head, appro.
priately inscribed. The ring is a valuable one
and has the Captains initials engraved upon the
inside. On Monday on the work at the Montgom
cry cut the captain, who bears wounds received
IN the military service while braVely facing an
armed foe, was obliged to weaken "knock un'
der" "skedaddle," as 1t were, upon the approach
of small body Of peaceably disposed workmen,
whose leader alone was armed with care and
ring. He soon concentrated his scattered forces
however and bravely advanced to meet the attack,
that was commenced by Mr.. P. H. Mcguire. In
this manner: "Capt. Sullivan sir, allow me the
pleasure In behalf of the late employees Of yours,
at the Robardsville tunnel, as token OF our res
pect and great esteem for you, to present you
with this cane and ring" Capt Sullivan was
certainly struck all In a heap" but managed to
make few appropriate remarks Of thanks and
gave the boys substantial evidence Of his appre-
citation Of the valuable gift and the generous
giverS.
Such occasions Os this do not happen:oiten and
they go to show that even a railroad contractor
may command the respect and esteem Of the
lAborers under him In any and all Of the different
departments Of the work, reports generally to the
contrary Notwithstanding,
The Robardsville tunnel Is completed and the
track is laid through. This great work has been
accomplished without the loss Of q man or even
seriously ipjuring any workman. The tunnel Is
1914 Sset In leugth and Is IA feet high in the clear
Capt. J. N. Sullivan, Of Port Chester, N, Y, the
contractor, Is an experienced railroad man and is
thoroughly posted on tunnel work. With such
able and competent assistants as Morris Sullivan,
Buperin tendent, P. H. McGuire, inside foreman Of
the east end and Patrick Riley, inside foreman Of
the west end Capt. Sullivan could not fail Of sue
cess and he deserves great credit for the scientific
manner in which the work was perfomed and
his caIefulness In selecting cautious and expert
enced engineers and foremen.

SURPRISED.

A company ofhfty.hve or sixty friends Of Prof.
Worley, from Plain and NImishillen Townships
called upon him early last Saturday morning and
without asking his consent, showed a determine
ton to help him celebrate his fty.hrat birth day.
Revenge is sweet" and Mr., Worley, We under
stand, believes that very excellent old lady not
q hundred miles from Canton started and headed
the invading hosts because, forsooth, a few yeara
ago he had been innocently made party to Ike
invasion Of her premises; there was just this diff
ference between the two, she was not muohly sur
prised though she acted out her part in excellent
STYLE while the Professor was taken entirely by
surprise He has, however, the satisfaction Of
knowing that she is at least one turkey poorer
than she was the early part Of last week One ofhe
best parts Of the affair is that the friends brought
their own entertainment along, and oh, how the
table did groan under the weight of the good
things provided; not very long, for the Invaded
family Joined with the invaders and after de-
termined and fierce onslaught, as conquerors they
had yet to acknowledge themselves conquered,
because after all had eaten there remained many
baskets full over. After spending the day in
pleasant association the invaders withdrew At
evening In good order, having accomplished
their purpose without the loss Of angle soul.
Mr.. Worley received several valuable and highly
priced presents from members Of the company:

LIVE LONG AND BE HAPPY.

Why should not everyone live out their full al
lotted time, enjoy good health and be happyf
Surely there is no good reason and yet many will
allow impure blood, weakness Of the kidneys
imperfect digestion, and urinary troubles to un-
dermine and break down their general health,
and carry them to premature grave. Some seek
relief among mineral poisons, in pill form, etc.
others resort to extensively advertised alcoholic
beverages and fermented liquors, only to feel
themselves for time somewhat better, but after
awhile much worse. Now, why should this be
