ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.r
CARLISLE, July 29.-The appearance of
the article on the completion of the South
Penn Railroad, Vanderbilt's line, in Satur-
days issue of THE DISPATCH created con-
siderable excitement and talk throughout
the Cumberland Valley. When Colonel T.
B. Kennedy, President of the Cumberland
Valley Railroad, was spoken to by a news
paper representative concerning the report
that the Pennsylvania Railroad is about to
to complete the South Penn, he said:
The Cumberland Valley Railroad Company
is running a line westward, and when the line
is complete the maps are made and the esti-
mates of the cost of construction are given it
will be determined whether or not the new
road will be built. Our last survey commences
south of the Western Maryland Railroad
crossing and runs west near st. Thomas to
Fit. London, thence to the base of the noun
tains at Cowan's Gap. If that line should be
adopted, the mountain at that point would be
tunneled. Nothing will be determined about
the construction, as have said, until the sur
veys are completed, the maps made and the
estimates given. The surveying corps started
out again yesterday morning to revise portions
of the line in Franklin and Fulton counties.

ESPECIAL TELkeRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
MCKEEsPQRT, July 29.-As was given out by
notice, the National Tube Works attempted to
start up to-day. Some opposition was shown
by some of the locked-out men, and 10 the row
which followed James jackson, John Moran
and three other workmen were assaulted. As
the company had given notice that it expected
all of its old men to go to work to-day. there
was big crowd about the place. but very few
of the old men went to work, their number be-
ing at the highest only estimated at so. Efforts
were made by the crowd to induce the men to
go back home and abandon the work. and as
result there were many scenes. AT the Balti-
more and Ohio depot James Jackson, brother
of Superintendent jackson, was SO badly beat
en- that he was taken to his home, while one
Moran drew a revolver and thus kept the angry
crowd from harming him. Other men were In
terfered with, and an immense crowd stood
about tine place. and feeling ran high.
Sheriff McCandless has been notified that his
aid may be needed at any moment, as the men
are determined to stand out and do all they can
in reasonable way to keep others from going
mined to start the works.
The committee of the locked out men have
always advised the men to be quiet and peace
ceedings of to-day. They decided that they
will do all in their power to discourage actions
of this kind in the future. Mr.. Jackson
threatens to sue the city for not protecting
him, and says he will sue all of his associates,
while his brother offers reward for the men
who attacked him. The tube works managers
applied to the Burgess for protection, and the
latter issued a proclamation which counseled
peace and urged that no violence be shown to
anyone. The men who are working will have
escorts in the future to and from the mills.
John Jackson one of the men working, was
met this evening. He fired into the crowd,
and he was met with shower of bricks, etc.
He was badly cut about the head and was
taken to the lookup, where his wounds were
dressed. Nothing else of an alarming nature
occurred.

to have the scrutiny of other boxes than those
containing ballots for Congressman, and tbat
is in direct conflict with the trend of public
opinion of the day, for the cry is for secret
ballot and not a public one. Further on in
that same section the election of Congress-
man is left to chance, and sort of Louisiana
lottery scheme is invented by which a second
ballot may be avoided and the game Of blind
mans buff substituted for an honest election.
1t says that, il there are more ballots in the box
than voters, then one OF the inspectors Of
election and one of the supervisors of election
shall be blindfolded and placed with his back
or their backs to the said box, from which they
shall publicly draw so many ballots as shall be
equal to the excess. which ballots shall be
forthwith destroyed, and the votes for the per-
sons named in such withdrawn oallots shall be
deducted from the votes entered for such per-
sons on the tallies."
A more dishonest piece of legislation does
not exist than that. It does not record the will
of the majority. it does not aim at justice and
it certainly does not express the sense of those
who voted in earnest Where a number of bal
lots in excess of the number OF voters arc
found in box it shows that illegal voting has
been done, but instead OF making an honest ef-
fort to find out and punish those who did the

should be reconsidered and published to the
world, so that those who are to be governed by
it may know what 1t is in time to express their

According to rule there is no probability
that that will be DONE and the next best thing
IS for the people to send in their protests to the
Senate against its passage by that body. Our
members should act at once and ask the Sena-
tors from the various States to voice their SEN
timents on this measure when it comes up for
consideration. The name of every Congress-
man who voted for that law should be pub.

opposed to such high-handed work should

BEDFORD SPRINGS, July 29.-One of
the most prominent business men in the east
ern part of the State, who is director in
the Cumberland Valley Railroad, was seen
to-day by THE DISPATCH correspondent
and asked what he knew about the recent
development in the affairs of the South Penn
and what the prospects were for the early
completion of the road. After being as
sured that his name would not be made
public he agreed to talk little, although
ne said that so far the directors OF the Cum
berland Valley had taken no action, al
though engineers who were at work were in
the employ of The company.
"Do you think the road will be finished,
and by Shom?" was queried.
''The road will be finished. By whom?
Why, the interest who own the charter and
franchises, which is the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. believe, from what I can learn from
people who are in position to know. that

MurriusyilIe Holding Up Well.

MURRrNsvILLE-There is but little abate-
ment in interest and operations in the Murrins-
vile pool. There is, however, difference of
opinion among prominent producers as to
which way t he belt runs if such thing exists
in this locality. Some practical operators are
inclined to think that if an outlet is found to
the pool its extension will be east and west,
while others are of the opinion that the dlrec-
tion Will be northeast and southwest, which is
based upon the past history of Butler county
developments. News from the field to-day
is to the effect that Snee Co.'s No. s. Mechlin.
is making 225 barrels day, and their Kellerman
well is holding at 200 barrels per dav. On the

morning they treated their Coal Bank well to

night, and the result is awaited with some in
