THE statements made by cores
pondent of the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
last Thursday, relative to political
affairs in this county, were greatly
exaggerated and in some respects
groundless gossip. 1t is strange
this disposition to magnify in political
matters. For instance, the writer
states there is great mix on the
Legislative tickets. All this comes
from the idle talk of few busy
bodies who suppose they know or
have heard things that never existed.
They infest and annoy every town
and political organization. Our Legls-
lative ticket was regularly and fairly
nominated, under the long existing
rules of the party, and will be fully
supported at the fall election. The
importance OF electing it, and OF hav'
ing the next Legislature Republican
will be seen at a glance when it ls
stated .hat it will have the re-districting
of the State to do, into Judicial
Con ngressional, State Senate and AS
sembly districts. No Republican can
therefore afford to trade or throw away
his vote on the Assembly ticket this
fall. To do SO wonld be to incur re-
sponsibility that would be long ra
membered and seriously affect the pros
poets of anyone seeking party favor IL
the future.

WEST PENN AZ SHEN NGO
CONN
Survey Completed. Contract
Given and Work TO be
Began at Once.

From Mercer Republican of Aug. III
The West Penn i Shenango Con-
nection is a proposed new line TO run
from Coaltown Junction on the 5. u
A. road, to Butler, distance of TWEEN
ty miles, there to connect with branch
of the Pennsylvania Central, and
through it to intersect the main line of
the Penn Central at Blairsville, Indi-
ana county. The object of the line is
to make through line from the East,
as this will give the Penn Central g
direct line across the country from its
main line at Blairsville, for the ship
ment of freight west Of Pittsburg, and
one that will make passenger travel
in this section and along the line of
the S. & A. very rapid to and from
New York, and will thereby prove OF
great benefit to the business men of
these western counties. The survey
of the line is completed, and the man
agement, with Mr. ]. I. Blair, of
Greenville, President, and Hon. John
N. Thompson, Of Bntler I ice Prpsi:
dent, met in dreenville on Monday
for the purpose Of letting the contract
for its building, which was awarded to
William Reed, Of Erie. The contrac-
tor is required to take the road from
the survey and prepare it for the roll
ing stock Work will pe commenced
probably next week, aud it is tie in
tention of the management if possible
to have it completed early in the COM
ing spring. Mr. Blair deserves great
credit for his energy and business tact
in pushing this branch to completion;
t.us very Materialiy enhancing ne in
terests of the S. Il A. road, of which
he is superintendent. With the bus
mess thus brought to the S. & A. and
the invaluable coal mines being opened
in that section through which it runs
it is destined to become one of the
principal thoroaghfares for freight
shipments, while the passenger accom-
modations are complete.
IMPORTANT R. R. LETTING.
From Greenyille Advance-Argus of Aug. III
The Butler extention of the S. & A.
r, r. has finally been let to W. W.
Reed, ESQ, Of Erie. The extention is
"a miles in length, leaving the main
line at Coalville Junction, useing the
Coalville branch, $500 feet, and thence
to Butler The road is to be ready
for business on or before the first Of
July, 1883. we are glad to learn
that Mr.. Reed is the contractor.
There will be no default on his part.
He has the means, the disposition, and
the ability to meet any contract he is
likely to make.
Tbiq link of railroad will be another
Improvement which will be of great
value to Greenville.

Forsaking Beaver tor stewart.

CuAMBERsBURG, Aug 10. The
Public Opinion, an able and inhuen-
tial Republican journal, has hoisted
the Stewart ticket and entered on a
vigorous support of it and the princl-
plies it represents. Public Opinion
has always been Cameron in tone
and was a strong supporter OF the
boilers in the Senatorial fight. But Its
independence bas until now been of
the reform-within-the party sort and 1t
has waved the Beaver ticket since its
nomination, refusing, however, to place
Brosius on it for the reason that it did
not recognize the legality of his nomln-
alton. While the Beaver ticket stood
as expressing its nominal sentiment
the Opinion has given it no active sup
port whatever since Stewards nomina-
| ton and has been filed from week to
week with denunciations of the evils OF
Cameronism and ardent appeals for
harmony by means of new conven-
/ tion

the Rascal Down.

The New Castle Guardian of last
week says: "On July S. 1882, a man
with all the appearance OF farmer,
came to Kirk & Dickson's hardware
establishment, this city, and purchased
q No l Buckeye moving machine.
In payment thereof he paid part in
cash, and for the remainder gave bis
pote for $45 To this note was at-
tached the name j. johnson, and the
man who said that was his name,
gave his residence as Scott township,
and his Post Office address as Harlans-
burg. When in the course of time tho
note fell due, q notice Of the fact sent
to ~. johnson, Harlansburg," came
back endorsed: "0peped by John
Johnston, Butler county" The j..
Johnson who issued the note never at
tempted to lift it, and the most dill
gent search fails to develop his WheFea-
bouts. 1t has been developed that man
who signed his name as John John
ston, in handwriting very similar, if
not identical, with that on the note
given to Kirk & Dickson, purchased a
stove from Bingham d Sons, Harris
vile, Butler county, on November l5,
1878, on which he gave his note for
$27, and up to this time has failed to
pay it. The stove in question is a
large drum or elevated oven stove.
There ia sheaf of wheat on one end
of the oven, and plow on the other.
On the hearth-plate is the inscription:
Bingham & Sons, Harrisville, Pa"
From these facts it would seem that
there is a swindler at large, who should
be punished for his crimes. The ras.
cal is evidently using the names of
good men so that he can be success
full in his operations, for there are
several John Johnsons in this
neighborhood who are honest in their
transactions. Among these are one on
the edge of Butler county near Harlans
burg, and one near Rose Point, both
of whom are men Of integrity. The
desire is to have the matter cleared pn,
and to accomplish this Messrs. Kirk
Il Dickson ask the aid of the farmers.
The firm has a complete list of all the
Buckeye mowers they have sold, and
can readily tell the one they were
swindled out Of To this end they
invite correspondence from farmers
who might have any knowledge of the
machine, and will hold the
same in the strictest confidence. Ii
any person should have bought the ma
chine innocently they will not be dis
turbed in its ownership. The whole
object of the firm is to find out the
swindler and protect the good names
OF farmers, with which class they
have had dealings for twenty years,
and have never. with this exception
(if he should be farmer) met with
scamp of this kind.

FENCING RAILROADS.

The following resolution was passed
at a meeting held in New Castle last
week and refers to subject We have
often thought of and advocated:
Resolved, That the railroads should
be compelled by law to fence and keep
fenced their premises, or be held SUD-
ject, to all damages within thirty days,
without appeal.
There is every reason for the JUST
ness and right of a law being passed
in this State to make railroad compan-
les build or replace fences they tear
down or destroy in making their track
Such law exists in some other States
and it should in Pennsylvania.

Loss of ,ho steamer Grace.

The steam yacht Grace, running as a
ferry boat on the Sault river between the
two Saults,was wrecked Thursday of last
week. She had been chartered to tow q
scow with pile driver from Sault Ste.
Marie to Goulais Bay, Canada. The fol-
lowing is the story told by the survivors
to correspondent of the Inter Ocean at
Whitefish Point:
eve left Walska Bay after sundown
with ten men on board, and were just
rounding Gross Cape when he engine
gave way, leaving us to the mercy of the
wind and waves. BY this time it was
blowing living gale from the east and
all attempts to repair the engine proved
futile, so that we were obliged to spend
the night on the lake, with such q heavy
sea running that we were in fear OF be-
ing swamped every minute. The scOw
had been cut loose as the accident Oc-
Cured, and reached the beach ahead OF
us. We struck the beach about five
miles from Whitehsh Point about $3.50
this morning, and as sea after sea
washed over us we prepared to make a
last effort to save ourselves, and reach
the shore, which nine of us did. The
life-preserver of the tenth man, f ,bert
Holmes, became unfastened, and slipped
up to the back of his head. kept his face
under water, and he drowned. The con-
tractor of the party was the second to
reach the shore, and as he did so the
first turned to him, and giving him his
hand said: "Well. Mr.. StOnhOuse, we are
safe once more" when the latter fell
backward dead"

Robinson VS.. Gallagher.

The Supreme Court, last Tuesday, de-
cided the Supervisor question in favor
of Robert Robinson, and rather sat down
upon the idea promulgated by James j..
Brown, that the Supervisors possessed
the same power as Congress in deciding
who was entitled to seat in their body.
Below we give the order issued by the
Court upon the question, and in accord
ance with which Mr.. Robinson was CIV
en- his seat upon the Board this week:
In the name of the people of the state of Mich
County of Cheboygan
WHEREAS, We have been Informed by
the complaint of Robert Robinson, that
he, the said Robert Robinson, was duly
elected to the Office of Supervisor of the
township of Benton, in the county of
ChebOygan, and that his election to said
Office was duly certified, as required by
law, by majority of the Board of In
spectOrs of said township of Benton.
AND WHEREAS, 1t appears that said
Robert Robinson was present at meet
ing by you held, at the court house in
said county, on the second day of May,
A. ID. 1882, and there claimed the right
to sit and act with you as member Of
your body, and that such was refused, to
the great damage and grievance of the
said Robert Robinson.
We, therefore, being willing that due
and speedy justice should be done to the
said Robert Robinson, in this behalf as
ii is reasonable, do command and firmly
enjoin you that, Immediately after the re-
ceipt of this, our writ, you do, without
delay, rescind the resolution heretofore
passed by you, admitting Cornelius A..
Gallagher to seat in your body, and do
forthwith admit said Robert Robinson
to such seat as Supervisor of the town.
