Trouble About paying Toll.

In consequence of the city, sometime
ago, opening Market street from Twen.
ty-fourth to the city line, and leaving
the Philadelphia and Wilmington Turn
pike in bad condition, there has been
considerable complaint on the part OF
those who have occasion to pass over
the road. This eliminated within the
past month, during which Sharpley
Perkins, D Brandy wine farmer, refused
TO pay toll, until the road was placed in
good condition.
A warrant was issued by Squire Ber-
toilette for his arrest, under section in
the o. mpany's charter which provides
that If any person shall by device or
trickery go around or through the toll
gate without paying the toll he shall
be fined $15.
The case was heard on Saturday,
when the company was represented by
its attorney George A. Elliott, Esq. and
the defendant by Attorney Higgins,
ESQ,
On the part of the prosecution 1t was
shown that Mr.. Perkins had passed
over the road frequently during the
past month, and that on each occasion
when asked by the gate keeper for his
toll, refused to pay it, on the ground
that the turnpike was not kept in a
good condition.
Mr.. Higgins argued that the law did
not apply in this case, az Mr. Perkins
did not by any device or trickery at
tempt to evade paying toll, but had
always been willing to pay providing
the company would put its road III
good order. He also oontended that
as the road was in an unfit condition
for travel, the company by its charter
was prohibited collecting toll.
After hearing the evidence and the
argument ts Of counsel, the Squire al
lowed non-suit, aud placed the cost
on the plaintiff.

City COuncil.

The members of City Council met at
their chamber last Saturday afternoon
at 90 clock, and proceeded to Snuff Mill
Lane, where the Baltimore and Phila-
deiphia Railroad Company are con-
structing q bridge. Ths meeting was
held on account of the complaints of j q.
Cloud Elliott and other property holders
In the vicinity, who object to the COM
pany erecting the bridge at that point,
from the fact that when Seventeenth
street IN opened It will be about so feet
from the bridge, and they wish 1t at the
intersection.
Mr.. Elliott was present and explained
the matter to Council and said that the
property holders were ready to deed
the land for the approaches to the
bridge and for the bed of the street at
any time. Ga the part Of the Railroad
Company it was shown that they would
have been satisfied to construct the
bridge at the point indicated had they
known that 1t was the " wish Of the per-
sons In the vicinity.
The bridge could have been built al
Seventeenth street at much less cost
than ut the present location, but IL
will cost considerable to change the
plans now that the foundations have
been commenced.
On motion Of Mr.. Pickels, a COMMITTEES
consisting of Messrs. Mention, Marris
Taylor aud Latimer were appointed To
wait on the company and inform them
that it was the sense CT Council that the
bridge should be placed at the point
desired by the property holders.
Council then adjourned, and proceed
ed to Vandever avenue and Hutton
street, to view house belonging to
Lewis Bullock. This house was erected
before the lines of the street we're es
tablished, and II now projects beyond

but finding when opposite Pusey s
Jones ship yard that Darlington was

rinued In the advance and reached

Terribly Fatal Railroad Accident.

CANTON, o., July 20.-A point on the
C0nnoton Valley Railroad, two miles
East Of here, was last night the scene
Of terrible wreck. The employees of
Aultman and Co.'S machine works held
their annual picnic at Cauyhoga Falls,
and over 2, 900 persons went on the ex-
cursion. There were two trains of 10 cars
each. The first section arrived at Canton
on its return at z 30 p. m, and while
hundreds of fathers, brothers and sisters
were at the station waiting for friends
and relatives on the second
section, q hatless messenger came
running down the track crying that the
train had been wrecked and many Of
the excursionists killed and injured:
The scene which followed was Of the
widest description, and when the
wreck was reached men, women and
children ran around wringing their
hands aud looking for their loved ones.
Nine cars were off the track and fin
water four feet deep. The cries of the
injured were heartrending. Hun
dreds of willing hands Immediately
set to work and 1t was found that not
more than twenty-five persons were in
jured; but it was impossible to say how
many were killed, or who they were.
About dozen or more passengers are
missing and may be under the cars. A
telegraph Office has been opened near
the wreck and everything Is being done
to alleviate the sufferings of the ipj ured.
The engineer says the wreck was
caused by the track spreading. The
engine went over all right, but the first
car jumped the track and eight Others
followed. Thus they were dragged a
distance of 200 feet, throwing the occu-
pants from one side to tho other, and
finally jumped the small embankment,
landing In four feet of water. The doors
of the cars were then cut open and the
people got out. Three doctors are on
the ground attending to the wounded,
several of whom, they say, will proba-
bly, die.
The track at the scene of the wreck
was cleared to day but three cars thrown
into the mud have not yet been removed
Twenty-Five persons were injured, but
no deatha have been reported. and the
wounded are doing better than could
be expected. No one was killed, aud
those missing and supposed to be nn'
der the wreck have turned up all right

Poultry Raising.

For the REPUBLICAN,.
SAGo, Ohio, July 18th, 1884.-Al-
though many months have passed since
1 left your County, still have interest
there, and write to tell your readers how
to make poultry raising profitable
business. The demand for early chicks
:, Aol4 froni 60 10 weeks old is very
great, and in large cities like New York,
New Orleans, Chicago, st. Louis and
Denver. they find a ready market AT
from 90 to 60 cents per h., hut to obtain
these high prices they must be hatched
early, February, March and April
being the Lest months. As hens are not
sitting by ins inct that early you must
use incnbators. They will hatch a
larger per cent. of chicks than hens, and
the chicks are very healthy, being en-
tirely free from lice. have two incu-
bators that made myself. They cost
$500 each and hold 4S0 eggs. Any one
can get directions for making an incu-
bator like mine by writing to j. Bane,
New Concord, Ohio, inclosirg stamps
for postage. Ny incuhato.s are a COM
plete success, and being 80 cheap are
within the reach of all, and any lady
can run them. I have 212 hens, and
since March 1st, 1 have sold from
these 2l2 hens and my 2 incubators ST.
427 worth of chicks and eggs. Now is
the lime TO prepare for the winter and
spring trade. Make your incubators at
once, and give them one trial this fall.
Then you will be ready to go to work
1 run my incu ubators the
year round, and think there is no bnsi-
ness requiring SO little capital that yields
such large profits. l will soon write
you an article OH which are the most
profitable varieties of poultry to raise, !"
