meeting Mr.. Eagan, who Is moth
ing if not a royal whole.souled
gentleman. From a little OBJ
scure sheet, he has succeeded In
raising the Border Wesvs to the
proud position it now occupies
among lis contemporaries in Cen
trail and Southern Ohio.
A fine power press has recent>
ly been placedin the Nesvs Office,
giving to it Il somewhat metro
politan air. The first thing that
attracts ones attention on coming
into Adelphia from the plains
below, is the terminus OF the
AdelphI and Kingston railroad,
which rms through The celebrat-
ed Kinnikinuick country. THIS
short line has a peculiar history.
Some few years ago, company
undertook to construct a railroad
leading from the Scioto Valley
road at Kingston, to the coal
fields of the Hook ing Valley, but
running short of funds, while
building the first ten miles. they
borrowed several thousand dol
lars of John Karshner, at that
time one Of the wealthiest land
owners in the Klnnikinnick coun
try. Seeing that unless some
thing was done he would lose his
money, Mr.. Karshner, who has
justly earned the sobriquet of
"Plucky John," took the matter
in sole charge, and with the aid
of subscriptions and money OBJ
famed by mor:gaging his broad
acres, he completed the first ten
miles of the road, stocked it him
sci: and has been operating il
for the last two or three years.
Armed with letter of intro
duction from Mr. Eagap, we pre-
sented ourselves 10 MIR. Karshner,
who kindly invited us to take a
ride over the road, an offer we
gladly accepted. The passenger
train consists of one combination
passenger coach, the seats being
ranged along the walls like street
cars. With the exceptions Of
secretary, fireman and engineer.
Mr.. karshner occupies all the
other mu!tifarous positions nee
essary TO keep the system going.
By a recent court decision Mr..
Karshner is now sole owner OF
what is. in all probabilities, the
shortest line In operation IN the
United States.
To the Border News, from the
editor down to the devil, we wish
to return our thanks for the very
substantial courtesies shown us
while in their midst. Come over.
boys, and we will illuminate and
paint the city bright vermilllon.
Next week we will conclude our
trip by giving our readers a
true account of Ben Whites his.
loric turtle and our wild ride
through the Black Jack country.

"A burial at sea is a very solemn nd impressive
service. A death at sea casts gloom yer the whole
