PROPOSED WORK I<
AT BIG SPRING

A plan is on foot, which il carried
out, will greatly improve the sanitary
conditions, as we'll as the road, at Big
Spring. The proposed plan is to lower
the outlet of the spring, and also to
bridge the same, and to raise the road
from rcrth end OF bridge back about
one hundred and fifty feet. The gil
and peculiar kind Of gate under Ito
bridge is intended to keep the water
OF Back Greek in time OF freshet out of
the spring. 1t is thought that mud
deposited in tine spring from The creek
may have caused sickn, So in the vicinity
and that this trouble may be obviated
by this change.

quite i'll with bronchitis at her home

What a Mogul Can Do.

That was a remarkable demonstration Of
what a Mogul can do, that occurred on the
New York Central the other day, when en-
CINE No. 948, one of the new Moguls, hauled
out train No. IL, the Southwestern Limited,
made up of two mail cars, five passenger
coaches and nine Wagner cars, sixteen cars
in all. The total weight of the train was
l,832, 900 pounds, or GIG tons, and the length
of the train, including the engine, was l,2l1
feet, or nearly a quarter of a mile. This
engine made the running time of the train
between New York and Albany, l43 miles,
in three hours and fifteen minutes.
There is no railroad in the world which
has a better roadbed, more skillful engi
neefs, or better equipment, backed by Loyal
men always alert for the safety of their pas
sengers, than the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad. What road can
match its corps of men, from President Cal
laway down the long line of employees, to
the humble and faithful trsckmen who
watch their sections of rail through the
long hours of the night and day, in order tc
safeguard the lives of the travellers on train;
whirling by their humble shanties, many o.
which nestle closely to the rails under Their
guardianship,-Editoria from the Albany

Lackawanna Region.
Scranton, Pa, Sept. 26.-The first
bloodshed which may be laid to the
strike Of the miners in the Lacka-
wanna region is reported from Sibley,
a mining settlement at the foot of the
mountains in Old Forge township,
about six miles from Scranton. Three
men were wounded in the row, in
which about twnety revolver shots
were fired. The participants were all
Italians, and were mostly men who
had, before the strike began, been
working in Jermyn No. / mine, near
Rendham, as non-unionists, but who
became members of the United Mine
Workers two weeks ago. Previously
there was bad blood between these
men and others of their own nation
ality who had been on strike at Jer-
myn's for six months, and several
clashes occurred. Tuesday night the
men got into a fight on the road way
near Barberton. Revolvers were
drawn by several and when the bat
Tile was over three men were down in
the road, Nick Gentlicore being so
BADLY wounded that DR.. Timlin has
little hope for his recovery. One ar
