REM ARK ABLE SURGICAL.
OPERATION
by Two MOr2antOwn Physf.
cfans..-A Immense TumOr
Removed from the Body Of n
Greene County Lady


Greene County Democrat of the sth inst.
For several years past Mrs. Levina
Mossburg, wife of Isaac Mossburg,
residing in Dunkard township, near
Bald Hill post office, this county, has
been troubled with an ovarian tumor.
Its growth had rapidly increased
within the last few months, extend,
ing its poisonous fangs so that it had
become great source of pain, and
preventing her walking, as well as
of serious moment to Mrs. Mossburg,
who had exhaused all means best
known to the medical profession to
reach cure by absorption or "driv-
ing away" as its removal by a sur
gical process was fraught with great
danger to life. However, she resolved
upon its removal with all its dire
consequences. On Saturday last, the
day fixed for the operation, Drs.
Mackey and Fitch, of Morgantown,
w. Va, and Drs. Hatfield and Morris,
of Mount Morris, repaired to Mr..
Mossburg's home for the purpose
named. Mrs. Mossburg was placed
under the influence of ether, and DIR.
Mackey assisted by Drs Fitch, Hat
field and Morris, in very short time,
skilfully and successfully removed
the tumor, which, it is said, weighed
nearly twenty five pounds with its
contents of watery fluid; and, upon
Mrs. Mossburg being revived to con-
seriousness, it appeared as though she
had passed through the critical ordeal
reasonably well, and was somewhat
relieved from her pain. Soon after,
however, it was noticed that she
did not rally satisfactorily from the
shock to her system, but, on the
contrary, began to sink under the
fearful ravages which the growth
had made upon her system in con-
nection with the effects of it's re-
moval. She gradually grew worse,
lingering in great distress until
Monday evening last, when death
relieved her from all anguish and
pain.
Mrs. Mossburg was daughter of
Daniel Donley, Esq, good and
respectable citizen of Dunkard town
ship, aged about As years. She was
for many years devoted member
of the M. p. Church, highly es-
teemed and loved by all who knew
her. She leaves no children, but a
husband and many relatives to mourn
her death. Her remains were fol
lowed to their last rest in the Bald
Hill church yard on New Years day
by large concourse of relatives and
friends.

The press Of the country is con

number have no better basis than the

The Philadelphia Times, 1854.

| nc hBACB, 1894
The Times will enter upon the new
year stronger and more prosperous
than ever before in its history-more
widely read and quoted, more heartily
commended, and more fiercely criti-
cised, with a more complete organiza-
ton, and an ADLER staff of contribu-
tors-and with the same indepen-
/ dence and fearlessness that has made
it successful and powerful in the past.
The Times has no party to follow,
no candidates to advance, but will
meet every issue, as it has ever done.
with consistent devotion to the right,
to honest government, and the public
welfare. And, while maintaining its
position as the leading journal of
Philadelphia, it will aim to he contin-
ually in the advance in all that can
add value to newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not in
it's size or disploy, but in the intelli-
gence and care, the conciseness and
freshness with which tbs edited. The
Times spends lavishly for news from
all parts Of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and con-
densed, in order to give the complete
news of the day in the most concise
and attractive shape, and with it a
large variety Of entertaining and in
structive reading. The best writer's
at home and abroad are employed to
enrich its columns, and to make it
journal adapted both to the busy man
and to the leisure of the home circle,
a welcome visitor to intelligent and
honest citizens of every political, re-
ligious, and social taste
The Weekly Times is altogether
different from the weekly newspaper
of twenty years ago. The day of
those papers is gone by. The tele
graph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving
centres ofrural population. have made
the old weekly metropolitan newspa-
per unsatisfying. Those that cling
to their ancient usages have lost their
hold on our forward moving people;
they are but shadow oftheir former
greatness, and they have but a shad-
ow Of their former power. Those pa
pers have had their usefulness, but
it is gone; and, with it, they are GO
ing, too.
1t was not the fault Of the papers it
was the improvement Of the country
that brought about the change. Men
and women, wherever they live, now
require fresher news; and they re-
quire more than news.
The Weekly Times gathers off the
types Of every passing week whatever
has lasting interest to people at large,
and sets it before them in such gen
erosity of paper and print as would
have astonislred us all twenty years
ago.
DMLY-Twelve cents a week, fifty
cents month, IS year, two cents
a copy.
SUNDAY-Four cents copy, 81
year.
WEEKLY-One copy, So year; five
copies, So year; ten copies, SIS
year; twenty copies, S25 a year, with
one copy free to the getter-up of
every club. TIE TINES,

"vvhO Are Going to Bald The
RailrOads?"

This is an inquiry that is in every
body's mouth.
We have no secrets, and will tell
There is one enterprise that il
known by the name of the West Vir.
ginia and Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, which proposes to build a
road from Clarksburg to Fairchance,
Pa, to connect, at the latter point
with the Southwest Penna. road.
The latter road, 1t Is reported has
agreed to guarantee the bonds of the
first named company to the extent
Of $22, 900 per mile of road built, and
also equip and manage the road az
ter it is built on certain terms. Har-
rison county has subscribed $4,000
to this company, Marion county $780,
900 and Monongalia 40, making
$25O,000 in the aggregate, which is
all the ready capital the company
has, except, perhaps, small addi
ton derived from private subscrip-
tions.
II it be true that the Pennsylvania
company has agreed to guarantee the
bonds Of the company and we have
no reason to doubt tit will be able
to build the road, and the men at the
head of it, declare that it will be
done at once.
We hope it will.
The other enterprise is headed and
backed by the Baltimore ::and Ohio
company. (This is not official but
reliable They have their engineers
on both sides of the river surveying
and locating the route for a road.
They are asking no odds from any
body, and, as yet, are not even ask
ing the rights of way. They propose,
as we understand, to first find out
where they want to run, then ask the
privilege, put their men and machin-
cry on the ground, and proceed to
build a road from Fairmont to Union
town, without any palaver about it.
They have put up $4,000 ON their
charter, are provided with and are
ready to produce the balance of the
capital necessary to finish the road,
and are moving in straightforward,
business like manner to do it.
We want both Of the roads, but
will be satisfied for the present, If
either one of them will roll along
right quickly-and the first that
comes will have the warmest welcome
from our people

In view of the increasing popular
ity of winter trips to the sea side and
to Florida, and the demand for round
trip tickets to the prominent resorts,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
commencing Tuesday January 1st,
1884, will place on sale, at principal
stations, excursion tickets to Cape
May, Cape May Point, Atlantic City,
Old Point Comfort, Va, and Jackson
vile, Florida. These excursion tick
cts will be entitled to all the privi-
leges Of other first class tickets, and
permit the holder to stop off en- route
where such privilege is granted on
other first class tickets. The return
coupons of these tickets will be ac-
copied until May 31st, 1884, except
those to Jacksonville, which under
certain circumstances, have special
limitations, details of which, as well
as copy of an illustrated pamphlet
containing rates and appropriate de-
scriptive matter, can be obtained up
on application to nearest ticket agent.
A very attractive book descriptive OF
the above Winter resorts has been
published by the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company and can be procured
either by letter or person on applica-
tion to Thos. e. Watt, Pass. Agt..

The Railroad Situation.

Since the last edition Of the New
DOMINION went to it's readers, we
have only to report that satisfactory
progress has been making by the
respective companies in completing
their surveys and locating their
routes between this place and Fair
mont. They have not stopped for
weather or allowed any other adverse
circumstance to delay the work Each
company is pushing forward in a
manner that looks like business.
The West Va. d. Penna. company
has probably, by this time, compile
ted their surveys between this point
and Fairmont. 1t is understood that
they have located their road on the
west side Of the river from Fairmont
down to a point about three miles
above Morgantown, where they will
build bridge and come down on
the east side. They report, also, that
all, or nearly all questions of rights
of way have been settled. They pro-
pose holding meeting of their stock
holders in few days, ratifying their
contract with the Pennsylvania com
pany, and then putting the construc-
tion of the road under contract at
once. Work will be begun at this
end of the line and they promise that
we will have road to Morgantown
within the present year.
On the other hand the Baltimore
and Ohio company have also COM
pleted their surveys, located their
road, and not to be behind, have, we
understand, had it admitted to record.
Those on the inside allege that this
company will be at work before many
weeks and will close the gap between
Fairmont and Uniontown so quickly
that it will make our eyes snap. Rep
resentatives of the B. & o. company
were here last Saturday attending to
some details Of their enterprise.
In the mean time, the projectors of
the Iron Valley and Morgantown
road, up Decker's creek, have not
been idle. 1t is understood that the
b. d O. company want their route
also and will either help them build
it or buy them out and build on their
own account. At this writing repre-
entatives of the Iron Valley com
pany are at Baltimore comforting with
the B. 4 o. company upon some
propositions of this character.
Some Of these fine mornings the
people of MorgaLtown will wake up
to find that we are railroad center"

The demand for tariff reform which

The demand for tariff reform which
is sweeping through the country,
and towards the furtherance of which
many able and influential Republican
newspapers have expressed their ap-
proval, has given our Republican
brethren much grief. They cannot
understand why any Republican
newspaper should side with such a
heresy regarded from the standpoint
of Republican observation. Yet the
New York Times, the Springfield
Republican, the Boston Kerald, the
New York EUening Post, and the
Chicago Tribune all incline toward
this heresy, and as the campaign
wears on there will be more of the
same sort. The Republican leaders
are blind to the signs of the times,
while the journalists are not. That
is the whole diffenence.-American
