About forty years ago a German ped
dler disappeared from this neighborhood,
and the condition of his horse and cart
led to the belief that he had been MUIR
dered; but as the body could not be found,
that suspicion could not be verified.
About ten years afterward the bones of q
human being were dug up near the point
where the team of the peddler was found,
by workingmen while blowing the road.
Rings found on the fingers engraved with
the name of the murdered man served
as a complete Identification. Suspicion,
which attached to several persons in the
first instance. grew doubly strong. as
evidence in the shape of goods, known
to have been owned by the Ger
man, were found. No action was taken
however. and the suspected man, q young
and welf-to- do farmer, sold out and left
the county. His name was Alexander
Greenough. He went to Canada, and
after res iding for some years near Cow
ansville. Quebec, he was driven out Of the
province by threats of arrest on q charge
of counterfeiting. From Canada he went
to Central America and from there to
Chill. Recently he was taken ill and was
expected to die. On what was supposed
to be his death bed he confessed the mur-
der of the German, and pointed out where
he buried the body. The spot corre-
sponded with the location where the bones
were found. Greenough did not die, and

Motor Line.

Correspondence of the Capital Journal
I noticed in your Saturdays is
sue the opinion of several citizens
in regard to the motor line coming
into town through certain streets.
As IA rule, from any standpoint, the
parties seemed clear and wise. a
few objects, that should be expected,
for there are always some who think
the town sufficiently large: they are
afraid competition will get in and
drive them away from the grave,
and they will have to go hungry or
rustic, and they don't like to go hun
cry and hate like the Devil to rustic.
What are these wide streets for
unless for canals or railroads?
The city Of Philadelphia, Pa, al
lows a very important railroad to
come through Washington avenue,
entirely across the city, crossing the
Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, be-
sides two other roads running en-
tirely across said town of Philadel-
phia, and when they pass more
trains in one week than the motor
line will in two months, | suppose
the opposing will say Philadelphia is
trying to grow into q city and needs
to EN- courage business. There are
other towns in the states, Baltimore,
Cincinnati, etc, that allow railroads
to pass through their streets.
Give us motor lines or any 9TH
er railroad lines through half the
streets or more if they want, for they
will rustic up the business. They
have my permission to lay double
track on Court street with side
track, switches, etc, etc. Bring on
the railroads or any other good road.
Very truly yours,
