SUB-CONTRACTORS.
The Line Pieced Out In Small Lots.
Contractors Innumerable.
WORK BEING sUB-LET RAPIDLY AND
CoMMENCED--wILLB BE DONE WITHIN
THE TIME.
(Springville Herald.)

Springville has become well known
to the railroad world. A host of
railroad men have this week paid
their respects. The men who build
railroads gravitated here from every
quarter. They came to see Mr..
Craigie, of the firm of Geo. II. Thomp-
son & Co., who have contracted to COM
plete the Buffalo Extention of the r..
& P. r. r. by Nov. lst. The con-
tractors propose to sub-let the grading,
in lots so small that those who take 1t
can certainly have the work done
easily enough to allow the completion
within the time specified.-Mr. Craigie
had announced that he would be in
Springville to sub-let the part of the
line which is in Cattaraugus county.
He was met by scores of contractors
anxious to secure "take" on the line,
and in about one day he had pieced il
out in sections of one to two miles in
length, letting it to responsible, relia'
BILE parties who will Immediately
cover the line with men.
These subcontractors are required to
have the line graded from Ash ford
Junction to the Cattaraugus Creek
within torty-five days.
This will enable Messrs. Thompson
& Co. to lay the track on the southern
end whereon to bring material for the
Cattaraugus Bridge.
The Erie County portion will bt
divided and sub-let within very few
days, and large gangs of men will b'
placed upon every mile section. Or
his way to Springville Mr.. Craigie sub
let one section, between Golden Village
and Glenwood, to Edgar Blakely, wh'
has been foreman of the work done il
Golden. 1t begins at the graded lint
in Golden and reaches the point wher
the survey crosses the road in Glen
wood. Mr.. Blakely Immediately Sc
men to work on the job, using twenty
six teams.
Mr.Craigie has an Office in Spring
vile, over No. lOl Main ST., and b
will be here constantly, after mex
Monday, to personally directthew
with two competent assistants-on
for each county. Mr.. Craigie is
gentleman of large experience, we

The Citizen Soldiery.
Philadelphia Press.

Three weeks hence Europe, from
the misty capes of the Bay of
Biscay to the blue curves of the
Egean Sea, will be echoing to the
tramp Of battalions tricked in all the
panophy of mimic war. The autumn
maneuvers have become safety
valve in certain Sort where ambitious
monarchs enjoy the delight of march
ing hosts, the clash of arms, without
the perils and slaughter encounted ON
those sinister plains were
Heavy and soem the cloudy column
Over the green fields, marching came,
Measureless. spread like n table dread
For the cold grim dice OF the iron game.
It Is worth while in the light of the
interest foreign and warliBe nations
attach to the annual display of their
armaments, for the friends of our
citizen soldiery to keep the recent en-
campment of our civic veterans in
mind. What Pennsylvania recruits
are capable Of doing when the supreme
sacrifice comes to the people is not
only matter of history 1t is a mat
ter Of household romance, family
pride and familiar song.
The admirable characteristics which
made our militia famous in the war
mark them still prominently. They
marched to the Lewistown camp,
they took their places Injured to the
tedium and monotony of mimic war
fare with the disciplined steadiness of
veterans who not only knew the forti-
tude necessary in danger, but the
patience necessary in preparation.
The manuevers, the action, the en-
semble of the battalion, from the
brigade to the unit, mark a genuine
aptitude on the part of the officers and
faithful application upon the part OF
rank and file, which is an assurance
Of a fine and spirited soldiery, should
the country ever have occasion to put
their qualities to the test.
What q militia may become, the
present crisis in England is a proof.
There, within ten days of the Queen IS
proclamation, the volunteer militia
regiments were full to man.
Hun dreds whose business or necessi-
ties kept them away when mere holi-
day work was demanded, hocked to
the flag, eager to show that the teach
ings of the past was not all empty
form. 1t is not too much to say that
Pennsylvania has as fine an army of
citizen soldiery as can be put in
line In the world. Perfect in drill,
admirable in order, alert, quick, in
telligent, the destines of the State may
be safely confined to them should an
emergency arise. If there are errors
in the general management of the
State Militia, as Is claimed by its
steadfast admirers, we can look in.
diligently on them in view of work SO
creditable as that which the assembled
regiments are unanimously conceded
to have done during their recent
operations. II fault was to be found
with the annual maneuvers, 1t would
be on the score of too limited time and
lack Of large enterprises, such as
foreign troops carry out, real cam
paigns in everything but blood-shed
wherein troops march hundreds OF
miles and have all the vicissitudes OF
battles, sieges, victory, defeat, advance
and retreat.

An Eagle Tries tOCarry Off Il
Child

A three year-old child of Mr.. AMI
Mrs. Wallingford, living on Lake
Washington, twelve miles from Seat
tie, while playing on the doorstep last
Tuesday, was attacked by an eagle
and elevated eight or len feet from
toe ground. The screams of the
little one brought Mrs. WaIlipg!ord
to the recue, who succeeded finally
IN driving the eagle away. The
child's shoulders and arms were coz
siderabIy lacerated By the sharp
talons OF the eagle. The mother was
so overcome by excitement that she
has since been Frustrated. It was
subsequently, ascertained that the
eagle, or rather a pair OF them. had a
nest in the cliff of rocks about 100
rods distant from the house, and it is
reasonable to presume that had not
the chlld's mother put in a timely
appearance, the body Of the little one
would have been carried to the cliff
and its tender flesh torn in shreds
and divided among the young eagleGs.
Mr.. Wallingford's rife, however. has
put quietus on Eny further depre.
dRtions by this particular pair of
marauders. The largest of the two
eagles measured seven feet from tin
to tip, and weighed nearly fifty
pounds: The American eagle is q
proud bird OF fame, but when he so
far forgets his dignity as 10 make an
assault on q q little three-year-eld
child, our admiration Of his kipCly
bearing Is considerably lessened.--

Suicide in France.

The Frenchman-tha gay, reckless
citizen of the worid-kills himself to q
very large extent. No less than one
hundred and forty-ni Frenchmen COM
NIT suicide every year. This is what we
might expect of people struggling to
remember day by day whether they are
living under a king or an emperor or
one or two or three kinds of republics.
The reading of French newspapers must
also be prolific cause of suicide. The
reader is liable at almost any time to be
shocked by finding a news paragraph
setting forth some occurrence of not
more than three days old. OF course, a
Frenchman of nervous temperament
would be seriously disturbed by a sue
cession of such shocks happening with
in space of say not more than six
months, and would very likely, in his
excitement, seek the sure serenity of
death. Life is hardly worth living in
country where you may be dragged out
of bed at any hour in the night by ex-
cited patriots and required TO lend a
hand in upsetting the government. The
wonder is not that SO many Frenchmen
commit suicide, but that suicide is not
the universal practice.

Keen-Evad.

A poor lad living near Philadelphi&
was invited a couple of years ago, by a
wealthy friend in town, to dine with
him. Among the dishes new to him on
the table, he noticed that one which he
/ particularly relished was set down on
the menu as '.Filet de 5oexf au1 ctdaalig-
Mons"
A sharp scrutiny showed him that the
stchampignons" were only mushrooms,
such as he had sometimes gathered on
the sheep.walks. These, however, as
his friend explained to him, were of
finer quality, and had been cultivated
and canned in France. They sold at
retail. his friend explained to him readi-
", at sixty cents can.
