RAILROAD GOSSIP.


Since the purchase Of the G. G. C, & s. by the
Connotton Company Chief Engineer Jones Of
the former road, has commenced the survey OF a
route TO connect the two roads, This line be-
gins at the end Of the grading on the c. @. G. &
g., near Geisen's brewery; from thence 1t curves
eastward and crosses South Market street just be-
low the bridge; the confluence OF the east and
west creeks will probably be crossed by trestle
work, and the east creek followed until the Con.
notion line is reached.
The recently surveyed route to connect Car
rollton with steubenvlle, is little less than 40
miles. The old stage route was said to be thirty
three miles, but the railroad line was heightened
necessarily to obtain practicable grades,
The work on the change of grade on the Con.
notion, south Of Carrollton, is progressing. Some
OF the work Is quite heavy; on the Huston farm
one ill Is about 300 feet long, and the maximum
height 65 feet.
An omnibus condemnation suit has been en-
tered by the Connotton Company in the Cleve.
land Probate Court against Peter M. Hitchcock
and some fifty others. The land which the Com
pany desires to appropriate commences to the
east OF Woodland Hills avenue, and extends
along the southerly line Of the Cleveland Roll

and PKtsburg Railway Company's track. Being
in close proximity to the yards Of the rolling

excellent facilities for the handling Of coal.

A REMOVAL THAT Is INTERESTING TO ALL

a
We venture the statement that are Is not an In
GnbItant Of Stark county but what believes, as we
Do, that even merchants, as we'll as clergymen or
professional men, should practice what they preach.
A merchant that endeavors TO sell his customers
clothing under the ONE PRICE rule, that was estab
lshed by his predecessor in the storeroom that he
now occupies, and then allows customers to beat
him down from the original price aSked, is truly
sailing under false colors and does not practice what
he breaches. 1t Is an indlsputable fact that Sam
GunEberg was the originator Of the "one Price sys
tom" and that the lowest In the city, and II 10 also
well known fact that he still adheres TO It and carries
the best selected stock Of Gents Youths and Boys
Ready Made Clothing in Stark county, the pEeten
lions Of the corner establishment, now occupying
the room formerly occupied by GunEberg's Mann
moth One Price Store to the contrary notwlthsand-
ing. GUNzBERs's oRIsTNBL AND ONLY ONE PRICE

and do not allow yourselves 10 be deceived by any
party that does not practice what they preach.

2d-It will work successfully in tough clay, wet,
mucky material, tough sod, etc, where no other
Seraper can work.
8d-It will wear three times as long as any Of the
