he had none. After thoroughly searching
the house to no purpose, Olsen still refusing
to tell where the money was hidden.

whipped their victim on the bare feet
AMI legs until they we're covered with
blood. Olsen still ORfnsing them, they built
n large fire In the back yard and carried him
out, and proceeded 10 execute their threat &c
burn him alive. They placed his feet in the
fire, and literally roasted them. Even this
terrible treatment dill not induce him to give
up his hidden treasure. lie was then com

Pittsburgh Southern:
1.-THE Engineer Corps Of the Harrisburg and
Western Railroad Company, numbering IF
teen men, who have surveyed every valley In
the eastern and southern part OF Washington
county, during the past six months, have
been recalled 10 New York. II Is not likely
that anything further will be done between
the Youghiogheny river and Wheeling for q
year. There Is gap OF fifty miles, beyond the
latter city, between connecting links OF the
proposed line, which has not yet been built
For the present this part OF the road has been
practically abandoned.
"What bearing this will have on the re-
sumption OF work on the Hempfeld exten.
sion, none but the managers fthe Baltimore
s OHIO Company can tell. They had eyi.
IDENTIFY been spurred into action by the acttv-
ity manifested by opposition lines, and this
having now ceased, they may postpone the
contemplated resumption of work on the line
between Washington and Conpellsyille."

he was partly on business connected with
The road, to ascertain what be knew about
the matter. he said the men might have

that the road would ultimately reach Wheel:
