/ discussing the mzttcr. The publication, ap-

to them. ciiauncy ~ Depew, President Of
the New York Central and counsel for
the vanierbilts, was seen by a reporter Of
| Tse Pssf at the Grand Central station this
morning Mr. Depew read one Of the wes-

said
There is an admixture of truth and mac
curasy in this VIII talk to you about it

afterwards, he said q do not know any
thing about this. You would better see some
members Of the syndicate Mr.. Depew sub

The New York Press. OF Thursday, had
this 10 say :. There seemed 10 be very little
doubt in Wall street Yesterday that the ar
rsngcmcnts which bad been reported as
having been made Tor the completion OF the
South Pennsylvania Railroad really meant
business The building Of the road cannot
fail to have considerable influence upon 9TH
er roads, though just how far this influence
wiIl extend il Is impossible to say until ii IS
known what agreement has been made with
the Reading and jersey Central roads. in
furnishing a direc, western outlet for its
coal. independent Of the Pennsylvania, and
practically forming new trunk line from
the West to the seaboari. which will be
shorter than any of those now in operation.
The effect Of the new road would be most
felt by the Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsyi-
vania, and by some the move is believed 10
be in retaliation for the building Of the
West Shore, which had the sympathy. If not
the active assistance of the Baltimore and
Pennsylvania lines"

On Saturday an election was held in Ohio
county. W. Va. to obtain an expression from
the people as to the adyisabili;y of sut,scrib-
ing 500 so to aid in the building of union
railroad bridge across the Ohio About 5000
votes were poile,l and the result shows the
people are practically unanimous in favor
Of the subscription. The new structure is of
general interest to the public and especially
to the people of Greene county because it is
the one over which the proposed line of the
South Pennsylvania railroad is to pass. The
new project has been brought about by the
South Penn, Company and is strung as-
surance that the line will be built to Wheel
ing considerable amount of work has
already been done on the bridge. which was
begEn some three years since, and that fact
alone, Is said above, has indicated that the

life this morning. Preparations are being
made, first, for the Manning Guards picnic,
to como of on Thursday next. a large
crowd is expected, and the citizens Of this
town will do all in their power to make the
day pleasant one for all visitors. Second,
the 9Th Of July Martins Lake picnic Is oy

SIGN in the way Of speeches, songs, cantatas
oats has arrived, and half the town are out

Fourth, Land & Mason have taken down the
"dilapidated rag" which seemed to trouble
the Enterprise so much, and ELY Flemming
is this morning putting on q clce coat OF
shingles.
Crops are not so promising this year as
heretofore. The heavy rains two or three
weeks ago set them back very much. They
have not yet recovered from the damaging
effect, and I fear they will not entirely do so.
The entertainment given by our popular
music teacher, Miss hllen McCormic, on
Wednesday evening last was quite success,
and a very enjoyable occasion to every one
present
We were we'll pleased to see Alr. Clinton
Galluchat in town last Friday. His visit
was professional. He was looking after the
interest Of his client, Henry Coleman, IN the
case of Coleman VS.. Heels. t-ied some time
ago before Trial Justice Bragdon.
Warrants against the following parties
were issued to-day: The State against June
Walker for malicious injury to house; The

During the storm Monday afternoon
large green pine tree was blown across the
railroad track about q mile north Of Fores-
ton, and south of curve, in such a way
that it would probably not have been no
tieed soon enough by q train going south to
have stopped. Section Master Barnes
heard of it only few minutes before the
south-bound mail train was due, but by
prompt movements he got to the place OF
obstruction just in time to stop the train
and avert possibly a very serious disaster
The train was delayed about FIVE minutes,
till the tree could be removed.

THE o. V. AGAIN.

Secretary Giles, of the o. ", has
written to a gentleman in this city
intimating that his company will ask
for further time 10 bring its line into
this city. If the time is extended,
says Mr.. Giles, he will put up a for

ply with the contract. Things are

V. amt ready to shoot. it had better
give up the gun.
In this connection the following
special sent out from GAINESVILLE yes
terday may be of interest:
Two car loads of whistling posts
we're delivered by the Louisville &
Nashville at Princeton yesterday, and
the GAINESVILLE & Princeton division
is already supplied with this necessa-
ry feature. Some of the railroad peo-
Pile think the "great corpoI alton" has
quietly scooped the Ohio Valley Road,
leading from Princeton TO Henderson,
and will use these whistlipg posts
along its route. What would the
Louisville & Nashville want with two
cars of whistling posts at Princeton
fthis was not the case.

1t is amusing to see these republi-
can campaign orators lodging our
democratic stumpers. We believe
Swope is the only one of them in this
state who has had the courage to
stand and fight this year. The thing
is rather inexplicable. 1t can't be
from lack of self-confidence, for
Bradley never imagined that even
Gladstone had any margin over him !;
it can't be from a conscious lack Of
ability, for the Fenian will toss met
aphors with Ingersoll or ingalls, any
day it can't be because of a lack of
fair treatment, for the republicans
are going to carry (?) X entucky-
why is it then? Can it be that these
same fellows have found out that the
war is over and the tariff is fraud
and that there is still enough decency
left in them to keep them from brook
ing a public exposure? 1t must be
so, else why is the gallant Colonel
silent when John Rhea is about
that Colonel who orders his rhetoric
fresh from Parnassus and drinks his
inspiration out of national grave
yards and walks about in thread
bare uniform for two hours before
the speaking to raise his spirits for
the sublime task Of telling the people
how 10 vote.
II may be none of these things that
makes the republicans abhor joint
discussions. What, then, is the cause !?
BE still, me heart, be still In the
words of the poet, it lie the following
stanza that points them in narrow
| ath "where one but goes abreast .
"Ie who 1ghtsaDd runs away
WIN live to fight another day."
