A Fine Piece Of Work,

The most wonderful transformation
in the way of road making has been
done out on the road leading to Stu
arts Hill.
That very steep hill just this side Of
E. A. Shipley's house that was always
such q trial to teamsters has been dug
down and the hollow below filed up
until it is now but little more than q
gentle slope. The little hill just be-
yond Esquire Shipley's, once so rocky,
has been made smooth; then along the
Barkley branch where there was a sue
cession of mud holes and rough rocks,
1t has all been filled in and raised up
several feet and q good substantial
bridge made over the branch, and last
as well as greatest of all these comes
the two Barley hills, and who that
ever travelled that road does not re-
member those two terrible hills, the
one so rough and rocky and the other
so nigh and steep. The nrst mas been
made perfectly smooth and that great
high hill has been dug down and made
quite passable, both going and coming;
in fact that whole section Of road
along there has been 30 changed and
improved 30 that INT would scarcely
recognize it, and it must be seen to be
fully appreciated. The credit Of this
enterprise is largely due to E. A. Ship
ley, R. NJ. K. Deakins and G. II. Diehl,
who were largely concerned in getting
1t up and seeing it through, at the same
time giving literally OF their means.
This Is only the beginning Of what
might and what should be done in
other directions: and the Herald and
Tribune says let the battle go On.

SCENE IN THE HOUSE,
Two Members Given the Lie by Pence,

The proceedings of the house were full
of exciting incidents. Bland, being un-
able to secure a quorum, concluded to
allow the debate on the bill to proceed
at the same time declaring he would re-
turn to the assault tomorrow. Two sem
sational speeches followed, one by
Pence, Of Colorado, who said: "I have
never engaged in the role of prophet
but l am going to do so now. The next
president of the United States will be
elected by vote of the Fifty-fourth
house of representatives. If there is
any one man here especially interested
in knowing what will be the answer on
the roll call of states at that time. prob
ably it is the gentleman from Maine,
who, today, and upon every occasion, is
standing up here to be measured
against Major Mckinley as candidate
for president in 1896 Gaughter.) When
the question comes before this house

vote Of Pennsylvania; the vote of Mon
tana as big as the vote Of New York,
each state having one vote. say to
him now that when that roll call comes
by states, he will rue this day and the
last fifteen days"
Bland made a vigorous appeal to
democrats opposing his bill to cease fill
clustering. He announced that tomor-
row morning he would move to close
debate, and every day thereafter until
the bill is brought to a vote. II desire
