There is no longer any doubt Of
the popular success of the Worlds
Fair. All the accounts of it, even
those of visitors who went to Chica-
go with prejudice against it and
ready to point out its defects, agree
in the conclusion that it is the great
est of these modern displays of in
dustry and art. There are very
few visitors who do not leave it without
enthusiastic admiration. The gen.
eral verdict is that Chicago has fully
redeemed her promise to eclipse all
other undertakings of the kind and
that even the marvellous exposition
of Paris in 1889 is distinctly second
to it in magnitude and in variety.

RAIL ROAD NEWS.

Up to date the contractors of the
w. & N. B. r.. R., have not settled
with their men. Mr.. Gaynor is in
Williamsport where he has been
ever since the work stopped, on
dcavoring, We are told, to effect a
settlement with Mr.. Taylor, who
took the contract of the Railroad
Company of grading the road and
sub-contracted the same to Gaynor
& Co. Mr.. Taylor claims that he
has over paid Gaynor & Co., some
thing like twenty-five thousand dol
lars while Gaynor & Company claim
that there is still large sum due
them. How the matter will be ad-
justed no person can foretell. 1t is
to be hoped however, that all will
be made right and that the poor
laborers will get their money honest
ly and justly due them.
The Rail Road Company took
charge of the work on Tuesday and
have in the neighborhood of one
hundred and fifty men at work
grading at Nordmont. The build
ing of the several trestling is also in
progress.
A large majority of the Italians
and Huns out of employment have
left the town in search of work.
The personal property of the con-
tractors at Laporte and along the
line of railroad is advertised for sale
on Monday. The Sheriff has levied
upon this property in favor of James
McFarlane and others and the con-
stable r. M. Stormont, has also
levied upon the same property in
favor of several creditors. The con-
stable sale is advertised to take place
at a. M, on Monday and the sheriff
sale at 20 a. M, Monday. This
will make things interesting for the
on.lookers.

1t Has q Foe.

Farmers report the presence of an
insect in some localities that kills
potato bugs by the thusands. The
insects are longer than the potato
beetle, but narrower, and have red
wings. They pounced down on the
potato pest as far as he could see.
One would seize potato bug, and
evidently sting or bite it in the
neck, when the potato bug would
drop instantly to the ground dead.
So fierce and untiring was the wing
ed Nemesis of the bug from Color
ado that not one was left alive in its
path, the ground being covered with
the pests between the rows. The
destroyers followed Systematically
the rows OF the vines, some going in
one direction across the field and
some in another. There were thou
sands of the red winged insects, and
so rapidly did they work that they
cleared the field of potato bugs in a
few hours. Nature has been slow
to produce an enemy for the potato
bug, but she seems to have given us
a good one.

Gettysburg as battlefield will go
down to honored history, but Gettys-
burg as a town, receives a very bad
name from the actions OF it's un-
fortunately large quota of mean men.
Thirty years ago when the union
army was defending it they charged
the soldiers a shilling cup for
water to drink, and the other day
when the veterans went back to un-
veil monument to their dead CON-
rades they were robbed by such ex-
tortionate prices as S25 day for
carriages. The town has been made
famous by the soldiers and is get
ting rich out of people who visit
the soene of their exploits. 1t
should therefore have the decency
to prevent its skins and blood
suckers from robbing tourists and
thus redeem and save its reputation.

The State of South Carolina is
to-day great saloon, run by the
State authorities in the interests OF
revenue only. 1t is the first time
such thing has been seen in the
United States. In addition to the
question of revenue, it is incidentally
proposed to give the people pure
liquors. That will hardly be an in
ducement to the South Carolina
bourbous. 1t is not so much quanti-
ty they want down there. The de-
cision of one of the South Carolina
judges that the law is unconstitu-
tional is received with great glee by
the saloon keepers.

The present reaper and binder,
which is now seen to be doing such
excellent work in every wheat field,
one would think, could hardly be
improved upon, and, as all
know, drops the sheaves the
moment it has bound them, leaving
the gathering of them afterwards to
human hands, but now many of them
have cunning attachments which
carry the bound sheaves along until

ordinary shock-are bound, when
they are all dumped on one spot.

DEAR SIR:-In your issue of the
18th inst, you published an article
relating to the firm Of E. j. Gaynor,
Son & Co., contractors for the
graduation and masonry of the ex-
tension of the Williamsport & North
Branch Railroad-from Nordmont
to Dohm's Summit. In this article
you reflect, perhaps unintenionally,
upon the Railroad Company, and
amongst other things say that the
Railroad Company "should make
the contractors good"
On behalf Of the Williamsport &
North Branch Railroad Co. l de-
sire to say, for the information of
all interested, that the Railroad
Company has not now and never
had contract with Messrs. e. j.
Gaynor, Son & Go. The Railroad
Co. let the contract for the entire
work, including the graduation,
masonry, ties and rails, to MIR.
Edgar A. Taylor of the City of
Buffalo, N. Y. MIR. Taylor sub-let
the graduation and masonary to
GaynoI Son & Co., by written con-
tract, and it is within my knowledge
that Mr.. Taylor has paid the con-
tractors largely in advance of what
the contract called for. While I
greatly regret that any one should
suffer loss in his transactions with
the contractors, the public should
understand that the Williamsport &
North Branch Railroad Company
are in no wise to blame.
