A DOZEN NEW ROADS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The railway world promises unusual
activity in construction during the com
ing fall il Pennsylvania, where more
than dozen roads will be put under
contract The different coal carrying
companies have ordered in the aggre-
gate 10000 new coal cars and addition
al locomotive power in proportion. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is add
ing six engines per week to its present
supply, and have placed large order
with the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
The Reading Co., has given an orGer
to the Baldwin Works for thirty en-
gines to be built within the next six
months, and has its own shops engaged
upon new locomotives. The Baldwin
Works now employ $500 hands, and
will turn out 240 engines during the
next six months. This activity 10 rail-
road building is accompanied with re-
newed inquiries about rails. The Beth
lehem Iron Company last week receiv-
ed an order for 1000 tons, and the
Cambria Iron Company expect several
large orders. The Edgar Thompson
Works, the Pittsburg Bessemer Steel
Company and the Pennsylvania Steel
Company are in receipt of numerous
inquiries, aggregating about $4,000
tons, which, when turned into orders,
will keep them comfortably busy and
add stability to the iron market. .-Er

4 NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.

Now that the City Council have passed
an ordinance prescribing how, when and
where sidewalks shall be built, we
hope that property owners will respond
promptly to its requirements. A stranger
visiting Bozeman is struck with the ao-
sence of them, the more particularly SO,
in a place where expensive grades are
not required. Very few cities have such
natural advantages, and very little more
expense is necessary than the cost OF
lumber and the labor Of putting down.
In addition to sidewalks it would be
well for property owners to plant row
of trees, and in few short years we Will
have beautiful shade trees and dellghtiui
walks. The native trees flourish well
after being transplanted, and can be pro
cured without great expense. A little
done by each property holder would be
great deal in the aggregate. 1t would
look like we had come to stay.

For cheek and unblushing effrontery
commend us to the stock men of the
Muscleshell range. who in meeting de-
fined the boundaries of said range and
then publish the following additional
warning: 1--WE, the undersigned stock
growers of the above described range,
hereby give notice that We consider said
range already oyerstocked, therefore we
positively decline allowing any outside
parties. or any parties locating herds
upon this range the use of our corrals,
nor will they be permitted to join us in
any roundup of said range on and after
this date" This is new feature of bull
doing, and is certainly bad taste. 1t is
presumed that cattle man seeking a
place for stock would be judge of
whether range was overstocked or not,
and if in his Judgment it was not, we
know of no power that could keep him
out, unless it would be a spirit of persecu-
ton which would follow him, should he
dare to plant himself where these 'lords
of creation" are. How many cubit feet

ordered all the passengers to get on

ordered all the passengers to get on
board, and the coach drove on.
After going about a hundred yards the
people in the coach heard the report OF q
pistol, and judged from this that the rob-
bers were shooting the lock off the trea-
sure box. The passengers on board were
as follows: John B. Read, city editor OF
the Inter Mountain; John E. Beck, Geo.
Kosure and wife, Geo. Lamond and wife,
Mrs. Kinney, VIM. Donavan, and Matte
Devere.
The haul made by the robbers was
very light. The stage agent learned from
Butte by telegraph that the treasure box
had nothing in it but letter, which con.
tanned nothing of value. So the only
thing the robbers secured was the money
mot exceeding $25) taken from the pas
sengers.

Last Wednesday the locomotive and
cars of the Northern Pacific railroad
crossed the Marent trestle, said to be the
highest structure of the kind in the
world. The Missoula county Times says ::
Enthusiasm was so great that Postmas-
ter Dickinson forgot his lunch basket.
Alderman Worden capered about and
leaped from rock to rock like school
boy, and Mayor Woody climbed tree
like squirrel" The trestle is S66 feet
long, 226 feet 10 inches high at the cen
tire piers and contains 800, 600 feet of lum-
Der. AT 4 o'clock in the afternoon
engine ASP, weighing fifty-five tons,
slowly felt its way out on the dizzy struc-
ture and stopped in the middle, 226 feet
in the air. 1t was at this moment that
several brave fellows were white with
fear, while some of the railroad men
danced on the cars with delight. The
trestle was a success, scarce n cracking
sound was heard and an engineer calcu-
lated the DETECTION at the centre Of the
tr,isses only half an inch. The engineers
pronounced the structure as solid as any
on the continent"

A SUGGESTION.

Very few people are aware Of how i'm
portant position the Office Of Coroner is
and one calling to the position man of
clear judgment and sound sense. While
we do not mean to find fault with the
one we have and believe he has answer
ed the requirements, has been diligent
and faithful, we have a suggestion to
make in connection Herewith, which we
think it would be prudent and economic,
to adopt. A coroners jury has for its main
object the investigation of the causes of
death, whether by accident, design or
by foul means. Special attention should
be given to the selection of jury and for
reasons hereafter stated physician
should be among the number, or should
be called in to assist in the examination.
In cases of a criminal nature this is essen
tial, as no doubt many prosecutions fail
from not establishing by competent and
expert testimony the causes which led to
death. It has been usual in many places
to have physicians elected to such posi-
tons, but in this place it has been avoid
ed by them, because they thought it was
more Of burden than anything else. In
this we think they are mistaken. While
it may not yield much money, it is a
place where a skilful physician might
make reputation worth far more than
the intrinsic value of the office. The
ground work for prosecution should be
laid by the coroners investigation, and if
done thoroughly great expense and labor
will be saved. We would therefore sug-
gcst that when called upon to investigate
the death Of any one who is supposed to
have come TO his death by foul means,
that the coroner have a competent physi-
clan on hand in every case and make a
thorough and exhaustive examination
before burial, so that the cause of death
may be fixed beyond the peradventure Of
doubt

MONTANA CHRONICLED.

Editor Eberman's wife arrived in Liv-

home there.
On Saturday last Benjamin Butter
worth of Ohio, and w. A. Patten and G.
L. Perkins of New York, the commission
recently appointed by President Arthur
to examine seventy-fve miles of North
ern Pacific track began sixty miles east
of Helena and continue to within ten
miles of that point. The other twenty
five miles are on the western division,
and commence twenty-five miles east of
the boundary of the Flathead reserva-
ton.
About four o'clock Monday afternoon
as the Helena-bound Boulder coach was
coming down the divide about seven
miles from Boulder City, two men with
handkerchief tied over their faces ap-
peared in front of the horses and with
presented revolvers ordered the driver to
pull up. As he was not armed the driver
had no recourse but to obey. Two gen.
tlemen who were on the outside were
then ordered to get down, and as soon as
they reached the ground they were told
to hold their hands up and keep them
up. They did so without protest. There
we're four ladies and three men inside.
The men were ordered to get out and fall
in line, which they did with neatness
and dispatch.
The ladies were politely informed that
they need no be alarmed, as no harm
would be done them. The men, five in
number, were ranged in line by the road

beers went through them, very nervously.

although the passengers perhaps had

from one of the passengers (Mr. Kosure,)
but as his wife pleaded with them to not
take the watch the robbers gave it back
again. They also required the driver to
throw out the treasure box. They then

One by one the old towns of Montana
are rcverbcrating with the shrill shrek
of the locomotive. On the 23rd of this
month the first construction train reach
cd Missoula, the twin sister of Bozcman.
Missoula, like Bozeman, is not railroad

rich and inexhaustible agricultural lands
surrounding it. The gap will soon be
closed now, and we will be drawn closer
together. The Occident and the Orient
will soon kiss hands.
