But it is not alone in numbers that the great
increase Of advertising is shown. The larger
space required for advertisements during the
year 1889 as compared with that occupied IN
1855 is even more striking.
The average daily space filed by advertise

average was 2s.75 columns, or 1928 columns liz

from the sworn tabular statements showing the

ROAD MAKING.

There is much agitation now about
changing tie read laws with a view Of
improving tAc country roads, which
certain So soas of tic year are almost I'm
pas,abe. It IS well to agitate the ques-
ton and discuss it thoroughly before the
matter is laid before the Legislature.
Some propose that the State should build
roads. and others that the matter should
be IN the hands Of the county. The peo-
pie are adverse to having the matter taken
ont Of their hands, as it would likely take
money out Of their hands instead of their
being allowed 70 work out their taxes
We believe, however, that an efficient
scheme for road improvement can be
made without taking The matter out of
the hands OF the local autboriics and be-.
sides the State can never in the lifetime
of those now living, construct roads in
half the places where they are needed.
The reform might be started by making
the term Of Office Of supervisors about
five years long, and requiring some stand
ard Of qualification Three-fourths
of the money spent on roads at
present is lost through the lack
of knowledge on the part OF supervisors.
A good work on road-making might be
placed at public expense in the hands Of
every Supervisor, and he be required TO
be familiar with its contents. Three or
four contiguous townships might be M
der one good supervisor, and they then
might have much Of thc improved road
machinery in common, with little cost 10
each district. The people could still be
permitted to work out their taxes or the
main part Of them, but there should be
more efficient management and better d..
Icctiou TO the work. Many farmers and
Others less interested in the matter than
they are, work on the road for the pur-
pose Of working out the taxes instead
of improving the roads. A few good
roads in a county VIII make demand for
other good ones. The matter should be
discussed that public opinion can take
shape before the next meeting Of the Leg
islature.

crease in the size, weight and carrying
capacity of the cars is almost beyond be-
lief. Then the locomotives weighed
from eighteen tons to twenty-six tons,
and the carrying capacity of an eight
wheeled Pennsylvania Railroad car was
from nine tons to twelve tons per car.
Now the heaviest freight locomotives,
suppose, weigh over City tons, ard the
carrying capacity of the freight cars Is up
as high as thirty tons to an eight-whee'ed
car. The four-wheeled cars owned by the
transportation companies of that day and
run over the old Portage system carried
from two and one-half 10 three tons per
car. Surely the changes have been great
in railroading since made my first trip as
brakeman on a freight train from Cone
maugh to Pittsburgh one night in March
in the year OF our Lord 1858.

TIE BODY OF ARTHUR DooUss FOUND.
DAVID T. CRAMEE.

10 Now Lies at the Horguc Awaiting Burial.
The body of Arthur Doouss(not Doons
as some have tried TO make it) the young
man who was drowned from the works
at No, G bridge on December 18th aud
for whose body such diligcut search %as
made, was recovered from the Cone
maugh Tuesday. 1t was found lying on
a rock about two feet cut of the water
just opposite Buttermilk Falls, one-half
mile from East Conemaugh. The body
had been washed over mile from where
the drowning occurred. After being
brought to Johnstown station on an en-
gine and thence to the morgue, the body
was fully identified by David Fl. Doouss,
brother of the deceased.
The brother states that TO his knowl-
edge the deceased lad at least $50 in
bills and a watch and chain, when he fell
into the river. These are missing from
the body. Even the boots had been
stripped of. The presumption is that the
! body was found and taken from the river
by some unknown parties, robbed, and
left where it was found by the workmen
yesterday. The body will be buried at
