THE OLD
RIVER ROAD

The case against Anthony Diehl, Sup
ervisor of MahOning township, involv
ing the old river road Tuesday morn-
ing was continued until the next term
of court.
The grand jury found a true bill,
the charge against the supervisor be
ing maintaining nuisance by failing
to repair the road so as to make it
passable. The District Attorney in
sisted that the case be brought to
trial, but James Scarlet, Esq. at
torney for the defendant, asked for a
continuance in order TO afford time
for the defense to make a resurvey OF
the road. Mr.. Scarlet held that the
road for which the Supervisor stands
indicted does not exist and has not
for forty years Therefore in the pre-
misses il ceases to be question OF re-
pair but of relocation and the Super
visor is not guilty of negligence.
The court granted continuance of
the case.
Among some old documents relating
to the river road which have just come
to light is one III the possession of
| County Surveyor George ". West, to
which unusual interest attaches. II
is the order of view for the old road
and was issued in Northumberland
county August, 1890 1t reads:
"On petition the Court appoint
Jacob Gearhsrt, John Kerr, william
Colt, Thomas Gaskins, James Simon,
and William Montgomery, Esq, to
| view and lay out public road on the
river bank. where bridge has been
| thrown across Mshoning creek and
| yacate two miles and half and quar-
ter of the old road beginning at the
bridge on William Montgomery mill
race and downwards to Northumber-
| land.
J. EWING, Clerk 50
The old document, which is in a
most excellent state of preservation,
contains field notes and draught, which
makes it invaluable. 1t shows that
through the encroschment of the river
upon the bank the road as originally
laid out lies from eighteen to twenty
rods out in the channel The present
bridge at the Greeks mouth is the
third one in the history of the road,
the original one standing some two
hundred feet ont in the rlver, where
its foundations may still be seen dur
ing low water.

The present laws We're considered suf-

posed: that congress should pass a
law making it criminal to give or take
rebates; to provide for publicity for
concerns engaged in interstate com,
merce; to prevent delay in courts. All
these were granted.
Moody reviewed the Northern Sc
Curties merger case:
There are people" he said, who
bitterly denounce the president for
his action in this case. These same
people are claiming the president is
not a safe man. These same men are
searching the country over for a man
to take President Roosevelts place.
The republican party" declared Mr..
Moody, has many men who could
take the presidency, but they will not
do it. | pity the man who is beguiled
into becoming the candidate of those
who are opposed to the president, be.

wind and water, to be incorporated
