W. c. LYNCH'S VIEWS

W. I. LII NH VIEWS.
Mr.. w. C. Lynch, of Canton, Ohio,
one OF the incorporatorS of the Wheel
ing & Connelsville railroad, was seen by
a REGISTER reporter at the train yester-
day afternoon as he was about to de-
part for New York on pressing business
and which prevented him from being at
the meeting last night. He was asked
what he thought about the prospects Of
the county accepting the proposition of
the incorporatorS.
"Well," said Mr.. Lynch. 81 under
stand that the Commissioners are not
disposed to submit to vote of the peo-
pie the one already proposed, though
they are favorably disposed to the road.
They claim that the subscription asked
for would bring up the Indebtedness Of
the coHnty to it's limit; that even were
1t submitted to vote OF the people it
would probably be defeated; and, fur
ther, in case the county did subscribe it
would only be second mortgage and
that eventually the county would be the
loser"
Mr.. Lynch said he was sorry to see
this view of the matter taken, as he did
not think Il better proposition could be
made by the company. 1.-The county
certainly would not lose her invest
ment," he continued, ''for the reason
that most of the money will be spent in
this vicinity. Then look at the bene-
fits that will accrue to this city in the
way of competing road. giving mer-
chants and manufacturers cheaper
freightS. Capital in the East is very
10th to take hold Of new enterprises at
present, and slow TO invest in this kind
of property, for the reason that it is an
experiment with no immediate pros
poets of paying on the investment,
owing to the heavy work that will have
to be done in the construction OF the
road, and the fact that its terminus only
reaches to Connelsville. Now Wheel
tug needs this road badly.
Her merchants want it, her manu-
facturers are anxious for it, and her
citizens in general should be in favor OF
it: for in this case the prosperity OF one
means the prosperity OF all. 1t will be
Il very expensive road to build, and it
will depend for some time on one or two
interests for revenue, and for these rea-
sons, as said before, Eastern capital
will be shy about investing. IN view Of
these facts | think the Commissioners
are not wise in flouting at the PROPOSE
tion that has been made by The incor-
poratorS OF the company. They should
think twice before casting aside this
proposition as there may not be another
one"

An eminent lord chief justice, who

fore him a witness-an old farmer
who was proceeding to tell the jury
that be had ''knowed the path for sixty
yeer. and my feyther tould l as he
heered my Granddaughter zey"-
''StopI" said the judge; I'VE can't
have any hearsay evidence herel'
Nor exclaimed Farmer Giles.
Then how dost know who thy feyther
was 'cept by hearsayf'
After the laughter had subsidized the
Judge said. I'm courts Of law We can
only be guided with what you have
seen with your eyes, and nothing more

"Oh, that be blowed for a talel' re.
Piled the farmer. II ha' got a bile on
the back Of my neck, and l never seed
'un, but l be prepared to swear that
he's there, dang uni"
This second triumph on the part OF
the witness set in a torrent Of hearsay

tanned weight with the jury, albeit the
Judge told them it was not testimony OF
any value, and the farmers party won.

Those eccentric people who waste the
best part Of their lives in discovering
utterly useless statistical facts found the
Eifel tower a perfect godsend, and
even now they are not done with It,
After telling us how many such struc-
lures it would take to reach from Paris
to the sun. how many halfpennies piled
up would reach to the top what the
tower would be worth If it were made
of gold, and making a host Of other
equally valueless computations. these
wasted genluses have broken out in a
fresh place.
One q them has discovered that the
amount of the French budget, If piled
M In one thousand franc notes. would
actually reach beyond the summit of
the tower. Ten million francs 50 piled
would be one meter In height; there
fore $500. 900. 900 francs-the amount
Of the budget-would reach height OF
$50 meters, or fifty o than the E1ftel

What a funny animal a mole is, is it
not7 1t looks as If were always asleep.
l suppose you know that the mole lives
underground
1t makes a long burrow under the
earth, finishing up by making a mound.
You may frequently see these mounds
in the country fields. The mole makes
these underground passages in search
of food. 1t devours all the worms and
grubs it comes across.
Many farmers believe that the mole
eats the roots of plants, etc, and there
fore kill it.
Poor molel it does nothing Of the
kind. 1t does Just the oppositel 1t
eats the grubs and worms that eat
rootsl
You would fancy that the mole, bur
rowing through the soil, would get
dirty. 1t does not, however. No mat
ter when you see a mole, his skin is al
wayst the same-quite clean.
Another silly thing people used to be
Iieve about moles was that they had
no eyesl 1t has got eyes, but they are
hidden by its hair. Truly enough, these
eyes are not very good ones, but, any
how. the mole can see.-New York Ad'

Battling the Spider in Deep Holes.

In fixing the alignment Of the Hoosac
tunnel. in Massachusetts,, at the bottom
of a shaft l.O2S feet deep, the spiders
prevented accurate work with plumb
lines. until two cases were made inclOs-
ing the whole length Of these lines. For
shallow pits the spiders webs can be
broken by raising the lines and then
lowering them to position shortly be
fore fixing upon points; but in this in
stance the distance was SO great as TO
require several hours before the vibra-
ton of the lines would cease, even with
the bobs in vessels of mercury.
The suggestion is made that the lines
might be freed from similar interfer-

A MAN, A GUN AMI A MOOSE.

All Three In the Heart Of the Maine
Woods, and Nothing Happened.
We draw Of TO the middle of the bay,
perhaps coo yards across. The sun is
down. and in the dusk every stump re-
solves itself into a deer. Y3u see white
tails and horns, and they move. But
at last a stick back in the woods cracks.
That's the real thing! Is it a deeri Is
it a moosei Is it coming ini Another
crack-then stiffness. Next in the wa
ter, way out in the woods. is a black,
dusky thing. really moving this time.
The boat starts of its own accord to
meet the black thing
II looks now like a ram, for there is
something whitish about is odd head,
and it is ''sloshing" through the water,
making a noise you think must brighten
il out. It, 40 deer Its too black.
You can't ten the size, for il seems in
definitely far OF at a dream distance.
At last il stops, and standing wei out

not remember how il got SO, but it is
now a full grown black bull % six
feet high at the shoulder, with enor-
nous HANDICAPPED horns and a long
black pendant like "a lady's boa hang
ing from lis neck
We are $50 yards of and the rife is
cooked without "a click. a hundred
yards. and iustinctively and without
motion your left shoulder goes forward
and your right foot across the boat.
Now the moose looks up. a moments

Ii is a curious conflict Of instinct and
desire. We hunt day and night mere

to the shoulder. recognizing the com
mon end, as if to prove you could have
shot it. The moose looks up again-a
longer look AS his head drops again
the rife sinks TO my knee, full cock
still, barrel forward
You see a moose is bigger than a
horse; it has uncomfortable horns; it's
very quick on its feet; the water is
shallow-in short a gun is a weapon Of
defense and you rather wish it was a
cannon. He stares at US now stupidity
and ~uneasily watches our approach,
thinking. perhaps lever saw that
log before. It's a very queer log. II
gets larger, but it does not move.

my great great-grandfather told me a
stump barked at him one night and bit
a round hole in him like a fly bite, only
bigger and worse, and guess I'll walk
quietly out"
So the moose carefully lifted n o.

for it. He agreed to pay a man TWEEN

the dollar. The second night the same
number was captured, and sc on the
