rollment. The students thus far have
all been provided for, and the faculty
still have a good list OF families desir-
ing student roomers and boarders.
The report that some intending stu
dents returned to their homes without
finding rooms is, as far as can be learn
ed, utterly groundless. The former
rates for rooms and Aoerd for students
are strictly maintained. Any future
uncertainty as to rooms has been met
by the prompt action of the manage
ment in providing for d~ormitories. 1t
is also well known to those familiar
with Scio that at short notice and with
comparatively little expense the college
can house and feed all her students in
dependently of the town.

ROSEBY'S ROCK,
The Historic Landmark on the Line
of the B. & @.
WHICH PERPETUATES THE FACT
OF THE COMPLETION OF THE
ROAD ON CHRISTMAS EVE, 1852.
WAS NAMED FOR ROSEBY
KARR, A OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
RAILROAD NEWS

The first iron rails that formed a
continuous line from tidewater to the
Ohio river were laid AZ years ago and
the work was completed on Christmas
eve, 1852. 1t is quite well known that
the projectors of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad conceived the broad idea
that to bring Baltimore on the Allan
tic coast into close relations with the
great and the then being rapidly set
tied Ohio Valley, would augment the
gold in the strong boxes of the Monu-
mental City. After many obstacles
had been thrown in the way and in
turn, surmounted, the line was COM
pleted and a train load of proud Bal
timoreans %journeyed to- Wheeling,
and watched the turbid Ohio flow
by on to the sea.
The completion of the laying of the
iron rails, steel being too expensive at
that time, is marked by a natural non
ument, eighteen miles from this city.
and near Roseby's station. This mon
ument is a great stone on the hill side.
and is 60 feet long, So feet wide and
80 feet high. Commercially minded
men have estimated that it is worth
5000 for building purposes, but it could
not be purchased, because of it's his
torical association with the completion
of the main line of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad.
Cut deeply into the side of the rock.
that faces the railroad track, is the
following inscription:
"Roseby's Rock,
Track connected
christmas Eve,
1852.
HOBBS & FARIS."
The men who immortalized them
selves in B. & o. history were the
s~tone-cutters who cut the inscription.
but the rock gets its name from Roseby
Karr, ar English engineer, who was
in charge of the track-laying from
Wheeling eastward. Those were the
days when liquor flowed more than
freely on state occasions and there
was no oversight or neglect of custom
when the rails were connected. Whis-
key was purchased by the barrel and
when the last spike was driven, all
hands proceeded to get gloriously
drunk and celebrate the event in a
manner acceptable to tradition. There
was no time to waste on faucets or
~bartenders. A sledge hammer was bet
ter than an auger or a b~ungstarter.
and the heads of the barrels were
promptly knocked in. One of the en-
thusiastic trackmen fell into a neigh
boring run and was drowned. The
stream is nov known as Grave Creek.
karr, the engineer, had several in
teresting experiences with his men.
One of them, Abner Charnock, object
ed strenously to working on Sunday,

No one will ever know exactly how much gold was taken from the Klon- dike fields the past season.

The County of Pinal has commenced suit against the sureties on the bond of defaulting County Treasurer P. R. Brady, Jr., for the sum of $6,19O.08, which dedication, the district attor- ney alleges, occurred since April 1st, 1899. It is understood the contention of the bondsmen will be that the shortage occurred long time prior to April lst, and that the present bond is responsible for only a small proportion of the amount. Be this as it may, it is more than likely that further suits will grow out of the case, involving other county officers for neglect of duty in failing to make regular quarterly settlement with the treas- urer ss the law requires.
