The Milford road Is in good condition
now and should be utilized as much as
possible by the riders, for as soon MS the
new railroad gets in operation all the
gravel or shale on the mountain between
Pittston and this place is going to be ship
ped TO New York and none will be left for
our roads 1t seems hard to be deprived
OF this, but ruch is the outcome of the pro-
gress of a railroad into new country.
The railroad is progressing the large
force of Italians are steadily at work. an
immense quantity of earth is turned up in
a day; there are five derricks at work daily
and the laying of the iron work has begun
across the wooden trestle which is in
place temporarily to hold it; the middle
pier is completed and by the time the
Pennsylvania pier is completed the iron
work will be up to it and rails laid for the
| furtherance Men are busily engaged
moving the house of Mrs. John Decklcy
out of the line of roadbod and things are
humming
As Mrs J f Keyos and a party of ladies
were driving down the Milford road on
Sunday afternoon, just below Matamorns
one of the young ladies alighted from the
carriage to pick some flowers, when gen
tleman on bicycle came along at furious
pace and knocked her down He did not
stop, but continued ON his way for some
| time until Mr. Keyes called to him to re
/ turn. The accident was due to his failure
| to turn out on the right side of the road
| The young lady bled quite profusely for
some time. 1t was thought at first she
was seriously injured, but on examination
1t was found that she was not seriously
hurt The young gentleman should have
had better control of his wheel and turned
to the right, then the accident would have
been avoided.
