Spidertown Gossip.
While talking to the men of Spidertown
we hear that great many things of i'm
portance are being neglected by US, but
pardon u.s. for we will do better in the
near future.
By the way, we hear that school was
opened last Tuesday under the auspices
of Mr.. James Shepherd. We wish you
success, James. Sandy Hill against the
world.
We are sorry to say that J. P. White
sides has returned to Volant Coll ege after
so short vacation. You have our best
wishes, Jonnle.
Messrs VIM. Whiteside and Mac Leslie
have purchased a steam threshing machine
and are doing excellent work. Will is
No. engineer. Ifyod want your thresh-
ing done in style give -hem bid.
1t is reported that John A. Glasgow has
completed water well at the depth of 80
feet. Some curious freaks of natural his
tory have been developed according to the
report of one of the employees. Hickory
poles do good work during Democratic
administrations, so says Harry Flick.
Mrs. Ottie Flick and family, of Alle-
gheny City, are spending the hot, dry
weather with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Snyder Glasgow, of Spidertown.
George Crafty is in the employ of John
HARRISON, Sr.
J. A. Glasgow's team took fright at
steam engine aud ran away with a load OF
straw recently. A bad wreck of the
straw, but no damage.
Many important fires haYe occurred in
our vicinity of late. The first of note was
on Sunday evening, a week ago. Fire was
discovered in VIM. Cunningham's woods
II miles north of Bakerstown, fire alarms
were sounded and about rs men and wo-
men were soon on the scene. After hard
struggle the fire was gotten under control,
but was watched till Monday morning by
many of the anxious crowd. The next
worthy of note was S. B. Harbison's straw
stack. OF all the fires recorded ON the
pages ofhistory this is the most miraculous.
The fire was started by a small boy play
ing with matches in the barnyard. The
stack was burned to tinder and the fire
burned within eight feet of tie stable door.
The loss is by no means heavy, but it
should be lesson to parents not to give
small children matches to play with.
Yours truly for more news in the f1ture
from your charming girls of Spidertown.

THE Japanese army attacked the Chi


nese at Ping Yang, in Corea, last Satur-
day, and won complete victory. The
Chinese fed from the field leaving $500
dead, and enough wounded and prisoners
TO make 16, 900 in ALL
The battle was begun at daybreak OF
Saturday morning and continued till 3
o'clock Sunday morning, when two flank
ing columns, acting in perfect accord,
threw the Chinese into confusion, which
was followed By unresisted butchery.
On Friday last the Japanese and Chinese
fleets came together at the mouth of the
Yalu river, when two of the Chinese war
ships were sunk, and two burned, but the
rest escaped. The total Chinese loss in
killed, drowned and wounded is put at
1,50O.

Have Reached the Summit.

The surveyors and Jewelers. for the new
railroad are making good progress and at
this writing have passed over the divide or
summit and proceeded about midway be-
tween Karns City and Millerstown on
their way to Oneida, and thus far have one
of the best surveys that has ever been
made over this famous property.
At Pine Run, where the surveyors had
reached in our last issue, the route is along
the left OF Sugar creek which it follows
uneI Milliron City is reached, when it
crosses the road and cuts Phillip Hillwig's
barn in the middle. follows the right side
until almost opposite the old mill bridge
where it returns to the left and from there
continues up to about the blacksmith shop
at Kaylor, when it passes along the side
hill to the right till the Berean church is
reached. Here the road is crossed and
the bed of the run followed for consider
able distance, when a return to the right
is made at the residence of J. S. Byers, or
what is better known as the "ghost,'
where it follows the ravine to the right
and about a mile and half further up en-
ters the Summit" with q tunnel on the
Mccullough farm.
This tunnel will be 1000 feet long with
800 foot approach on this side and about
200 on the opposite. Making it l,50O feet
in length Opposite this hill rise two
others that were hard to get about, and
here, after vigorous tramp through the
woods we finally discovered the engineers
IN stew whether to run around the hills
or cut through them, thus saving a bad
curve and long haulage. From the tunnel
they cross the Milert Mccullough and A.
and ]. Moore farms, and now run against
the hardest work on the trip, as the waters
of Bear creek. are directly in front, and
across the hill next to pass is Buffalo
creek. 1t was decided to make cut
through both these hills. One will require
about 25 feet and the other not so much,
when they will get straighter and shorter
line. The P. & W. will be crossed here
at grade to the Elliott farm, and then be-
gins the descent down about midway be-
tween Karns City and Millerstown to
Oneida, which is plain sailing and is be-
lieved will only require a week more to
complete. The grade has not yet been
taken.-East Brady Revicic.
THIS is the time for the best endeavors
of patriotism. If it should grasp the great
opportunity now presented the Republi-
can party will enter upon new il not a
grander career in The redemption of the
land from material. and industrial paraly
SIS, from the lack of confidence, which is
the father of panics, from that CONNER
cial frenzy which drives solvency to the
wall, and from that INSCRIPTIONS quality
of demag0gy which seeks to array class
against class, capital against labor, and
section against section.-From Speech Of
General Hastings at League Of Clubs Con-
peutiOn.

Especial Corrcspondence.l


DETROIT Jan. 25-From the 10Th of
january to the 1st of March is a busy
season with peculiar class Of people
who live on Fish point, u ragged pro-
montory that juts out into the eastern
side of Saginaw bay. These people are
French Canadians, and they get their
subsistence by fishing.
In the winter, when the ice is strong
enough to permit, the Fish point com
munity shifts from the shore to the ice
and remains there until the spring thhw
compels them to return.
1t is really u town on wheels, and .he
population runs from 500 to 600 souls.
The great majority are men.
The wooden houses that shelter these
hardy people are built on wheels. They
are substantial and comfortable. In
building them the floor is laid between
the axletrees very close to the ice. Each
dwelling is occupied by a family of from
three to four people. The furnishing is
very plain, consisting Of table, stove,
cooking utensils and few chairs. The
occupants sleep in hammocks that are
folded up and hung on hooks during the
daytime, when all the available space in
the room is needed
These houses are wheeled around Oh
the ice at the will of the owner, who is
readily assisted by his neighbors if he is
unable to muster sufficient propelling
power in his own household.
In the floor of each dwelling a wide
trapdoor is cut, and when q hole about
the size of this door has been cut in the
ice the house is trundled over it until the
trap stands directly above it.
The waters of the bay abound in pike,
and it is to catch these that the fisher
man makes special effort When the
hut has been set over the hole, piece of
fine strong cord is securely fastened to
the body of live herring, which is
dropped through the hole into the water.
When the herring finds himself in his
native element, he darts swiftly away
to the limit of the cord that is let ont
for several fathoms. When he fetches
up, he is hauled slowly back to the hole,
and he is usually followed by school of
pike and other fish that look upon the
herring evidently as choice morsel.
The fishing goes OH night and day, and
this strange village presents weird APP
pearance in the night, when the men fish
by the liz 1t of torches.
