RAILROAD DIFFICULTIES.

1t seems there has been a dispute
between the Lehigh Valley and the
w. & N. B. concerning the right of
way at Satterield, and on Monday
night, October I6, the latter company
took possession of a strip of ground
where the Lehigh Valley was grading
for a switch. The w. & N. b. put
down their own ties and rails and took
other steps to make their occupancy
permanent. On Friday, the 2oth, a
large force of Lehigh Valley men ap-
peared on the scene, tore up the dis
puted switch and laid one of their
own, laying temporary switch right
over the site of the new depot, an
old locomotive was run onto the site,
lacked up. the track pulled out from
under it, and the locomotive dropped
down in the mud. All this looks a
if there would be no understanding
reached between the two roads as to
running trains to Towanda over the
Lehigh Valley tracks. The trouble is
greatly regretted in this localityCDH-

BLOOMSBURY Is A BOROUGH.

The Town of Bloomsbury is the
corporate name of the municipality
and has no other significance than to
give it a name. BY the Act of 1884,
Purdon 100 pl 1889 the courts
were empowered to incorporate any
town or village and any town or vii
lage became body corporate and
polite by the name SO given or sane
toned by the court. The Act of
1870, organizing the Town Of Bloom
burg, in the I2th Sec. speaks of the
"eorp0rate name of said town" and
provides for suits and defenses.
The Act of May S, 1876, Purdon
eos pl. 81, speaks of borough or
incorporated town. The word is not
ami but or, and the word used is sig
nifcant in this place. 1t groups them
together as coming under one general
head, as hotel, inn or tavern; horse,
mare or gelding; and the Acts of AS
sembly concerning boroughs are no
doubt applicable to all municipal Or
ganizations which exist at the date of
the Act. When the Town was organ
lied the Legislature could and did
subject it to certain of the general
borough laws, and relieve it from
others; but it does not follow that
general municipal regulations passed
afterward do not include it, although
not mentioned by name or other des-
ignation.
Moreover, Judge Elwell decided in
an opinion filed by him, that the town
of Bloomsburg was to all intents and
purposes borough; and it would be
curious if a general Act should not
include, under the constitution of
1874, all the organizations and in
corporations of municipalities within
the State. Local and special legisla-
ton is forbidden, and the Act of May
20, 1898, is step in the direction of
bringing all municipal governments of
that class--those less than Citles-in-
to uniformity.
Bloomsburg is a borough under the
name, style and title of "The Town
Of Bloomsburg;" and since 1874, at
all events, subject to all the general
laws passed relating to boroughs. If
$50, then We are subject to the Act OF
May 20, 1898, and must look out for
a change in the officers and manage
ment of our local affairs. The com
ing election must not be neglected.
Its importance is manifest. We are
more than ever needing clear heads
and steady hands. Let us look to ii
in time. QUERIsT.
