The "New York, Pittsburgh g. Ridg-
Way.o

For many years, as is well known,
efforts have been made and plans sub
mitted for new line of railroad which
should connect Pittsburgh with the
Erie Railway, giving an outlet to the
vast coal and lumber interests held by
the latter in Elk county, Pa.
Two questions only had to be dis
posed of-time and the northern ter
minus. fhe prOtracted period of hard
times, and the unsettled state of Erie's
affairs and management would have
prevented much earlier action, had
the times been ever so favorable. But
now both these points are practically
settled, and the time has come when
the new enterprise must take shane
and form.
Definite action was had on Tuesday
by the formal organization of the
New York, Pittsburgh and Ridgway
Railroad Company.n This company
has lately purchased the charter of
the defunct Rochester, Nunda &
Pennsylvania r. r., so far as that line
exists in Pennsylvania, and to build "A
line from Reynoldsvile. (the present
northern terminus of the Allegheny
Valley road to Eldred is simply to
follow the proposed line of the dcfunct
road. This opens up the vast coal and
lumber fields OF Erie parties. Leav-
ing Eldrcd, the present plan to 90 to
Ceres, and thence straight to Wells
vile on the line of the late proposed
narroWgauge road from Wellsville to
Eidrcd.
The assurance that this is the route
finally and fully determined upon,
comes from parties high in authority
and close in interest.
The line thus completed is direct
and almost straight from Wellsville to
Pittsburgh, and its advantages can be
seen Mt a glance.
The news is good enough to crow
over Justify, but it is doubtless the
better plan TO await further develop
ments before shooting off the big gun.
But the outlook now is all that could
be desired in the interests of Wells
vile and Allegheny county, and we
have the highest authority for believ-
the work and the route as proposed
will be pushed to certain and early

Bradford, Pa, April fS.-A special
to the Era from Emporium SAYS in
tense excitement prevails at Caledonia
Elk county, Pa, over a terrible
tragedy committed there yesterday
morning by n noted forger and outlaw
named Harry English. A posse went
from st. Marys to apprehend English
and arrived at his house. near Gale
donia, at s O'Clock. Constabes Wrenth
and Volmer and Justice Burk met
him coming down stairs. Wrenth
ordered him to surrender, but he went
back up the stairs and locked himself
in room. The officers drew their
pistols and declared their intention of
taking MIN, dead or alive. AS Con-
stable Wreuth came up to the room
English thrust rifle through the door
and fired, killing him instantly.
Constable Volmer then carried
Wrenth's body down stairs, and as he
entered the yard English shot Volmer
who, it is thought will not recover.
English gained the woods during the
excitement. While he was running
District Attorney Nursel shot him i'm
the leg. Company H, State Volun-
teer's, has been ordered out to capture
him if possible.
