What Has the Turnpike Comp.
any to Sell d?

Any company of citizens may
apply for charter TO build ca
nal, turnpike, or steam railroad ;
aud, if for public use, and in COM
plying with the requirements of
the law, may obtain a charter and
get the benefit of eminent do
main, which means a privilege to
survey and build any of the afore.
said highways over and through
any persons premises-of course
for the purpose only for which
the charter calls;provided always
that permission is obtained from
the owners of the soil. If they
cannot obtain that permission,
they can file a bond for the
amount of damages and proceed
to construct.
The next point is, they can only
obtain right for the purpose of
turnpike, canal, or railroad OPP
Grated by steam. Consequently
when a Turnpike Company con-
verts their pike into trolley line,
they forfeit their right of posses
sion, to the original estates from
whence they forced their rights
of eminent domain; they, also,
forfeit their charter to the State.
Moreover, it is the duty of the
supervisor to take charge of the
pike and remove all distractions
from the same that interferes
with the public travel.
When turnpike company has
to resort to condemnation they
have no authority ouIy as a turn
pike company. They cAnnotgrant
any privileges 10 any one else
even to set up IL telephone pole.
The title still remains in the own

FIRE At LAIDIG.
Dwelling House of David Stevens
Entirely Destroyed.

Last Thursday afternoon the
dwelling of David Stevens at Lai-
dig was totally destroyed by fire
The building was a large frame,
with a store room in one end in
which was the postoffice and a
telephone Office. During the hot
weather the cooking lor the fami-
ly is done in an out.kitchen stand
ing some ten feet to the rear of
the main building. After dinner
was over and the work incident
thereto done, Mrs. Stevens went
into the house and did not know
that fire had broken out until the
alarm was given by the neigh
bors. The little out-kitchen took
fire some way and the flames
soon reached the main building
and had gotten such a start when
discovere d that it was impossible
to save the building, and efforts
we're put forth to save as much of
the contents as possible.
There was a light insurance on
the property;but at Mr.. and Mrs.
Stevens time of life, to be turned
out of a home so suddenly means
a keenly felt loss. We under
stand that Mr.. Stevens will be-
gin at once to rebuild.

Among those who worship in
the U. p. church, are two worthy
colored people, who deserve at
least honorable mention. One of
them is Mr.. Henry Caution of
Mercersburg, who has passed the

tends service by driving ten miles
each Sabbath morning; and the
other, his sister-inlaw Mrs. Sallie
Thomas, who although nearly
eighty years of age, frequently
walks a distance of eight miles to
the same service. They are both
known by their consistent Chris
tain lives, and the zeal shown by
this great effort to be fed with
the heavenly mamma at the hands
of their pastor Rev. Grove is a
quiet but forcible reproof to ma
ny who are less faithful.

Monday Afternoon.

turned from San Antonio in high
glee.
The football game between the
Agricultural and Mechanical col

was regarded by many experience
ed football men as the best game
ever played on Texas soil. The
game lasted for more than two
hours and one of the notable feat
ures was that the A. and NJ. did
not use any Of her subs, but play
ed the same eleven from start to
finish. Not a single A. and M.
man received any injury and they
never called time. The univer.
sity ran in seven fresh men and the
total Of the time called by them
Amounted to one hour, thus max
ing the game a very long one. The
bucking by the A. and NJ. men,
who averaged eight pounds lighter
weight than varsity, was marvel
Gus.
Varsity played a much better
game than they did against the
University Of Louisiana, and had
every reason TO suppose they would
win an easy victory, but the yer.

was that varsity was fairly out.
