ROAD WILL BE BUILT SURE.
Cars Will be Running Inside OF Two
Years.
THE B. & o. THROUGH THIS COUNTY.
The Old South Penn Right'of.Way Was Pur-
chased that the B, & 0.Might Have Short
Line Between Piltsburg and The East.

The activity displayed by the
Baltimore & OHIO Railroad Com.
pany all along the line of their
proposed route from Hancock
through this comfy to Mount
Dallas and thence west over the
old South Penn survey to form a
short line between Pittsburg and
the East is such as to warrant the
belief that 1t is the intentltn of
the Company to push the road to
completion as rapidly as possible.
The survey through the west
ern part of this county from
Rohm's Gap to Hancock has been
gone over repeatedly by the en-.
giueers, and the greatest care
has been exercised to give the
road the very best location.
A letter written from Pittsburg
on the 9th ult. and ublished in
the Bedford Hawkeye says: 81
beg to say that the prevailing i'm
preston here is that the South
Penn-or part of 1t at least
will be built within the next two
years and that cars will be run
ningl 'yer it in that time.
Th - have been many rumors
concerning the purposes of the
Baltimore and Ohio since 1t be-
came the owner of the property.
Some of them were true and some
were not. The fact is that the
company has had Its eye on the
South Penn for a long time. 1t
has been known here for more
than year that the Baltimore
and Ohio Company would like to
get the South Penn and that IT
was laying it's plans to that end.
AS you have already stated in
your paper, the thing IN view was
the shortening of the line be.
tween Pittsburg and the East and
securing a low grade route. The
South Penn right of way meets
botn of these requirements.
The indications are that the
work of building will be CONNER
ed soon. Just when, however
the railroad company alone can
say. Every mile of the road will
be built, but for the present work
will be confined to that portion Of
>the route lying hey ond the tunne
through the mountains. 1t will
be built from the tunnel to 6
point on the Bedford division oi
the Pennsylvania, the tracks Of
which will be used to Mt. Dallas
From this place the road will fol
low the South Penn survey to the
Maryland and WesJ Virginia line
on the Potomac River at Hancock
At the latter place connection
will be made with the main line
of the Baltimore and Ohio"

Family Reunion.

Last Saturday morning recol-
lections of the past, apprecla'
tion, of the present, and antic'
ipations of the future were
the reallzations of Mr.. and
Mrs. David Rotz of Tod township,
as their children and grandchll.
dren began to assemble at the old
home nest. Through the courte.
sy of Miss Nellie, Mrs. George
Snyder was taken from her home
and made to occupy place in
the happy home gathering at the
Rotz homestead.
The roster is as follows: Mr.,
and Mrs. Charles g. Rotz, Mr.,
and Mrs. Stanley Snyder, Mr.,
and Mrs. Thomas Marshall, Mr..
and Mrs. A. e. Colledge, and
Misses Nellie, Arbie and Olive,
together with all the grandchil
dren.
A sumptuous dinner was not
the least attractive part of the
program. and when the sun be
gan to throw heightened shadows
from the Ridge, an affectlonate
leave of the old home was taker
and pleasant memories will long
linger in the minds of the thre'
generations there represented OF
that glad reunion day.

The Tramp Nuisance.

Owing to the fact of the increas.
ing frequency of crimes commit.
ted by tramps roaming over the
country, and of the expense Incl
dent to the arrest, and mainte-
nance in our county prisons,
of this very undesirable class of
citizens, the many Newspa pers
are counsellng the farmers es-
pecially not to give them aid in
any way, and starve them out.
The Chambersburg Repository
in a recent Issue says:
"lu the summer of 1902. the
land owners in and about Wood
stock station, on the Waynesboro
branch mutually agreed not to
feed nor shelter any tramps or
Migrants, and joined in posting
notices warning all such charac-
ters that they would be arrested
If found in the neighborhood.
The first season a good many
arrests were made, and IN the
face of some few indefinite threats
of vengeance. Last year the
tramps were few and the nun Der
of arrests were correspOndingly
small, and so far this year, we
understand that no tramps have
stopped in that locality and there
has been no necessity for arrests.
The professional tramp is gen.
orally sufficiently able-b bodied to
work and earn his living, and the
feeding and sheltering of these
leeches on society is usually the
result Of mistaken kindness or
fear. Except III the winter
months tramps are anxious to
keep out of Jail and will avoid rail
roads, towns and localities where
they are liable to arrest"
The Shlppensburg Chronicle
remarks pertinently:
"Hhere IS no good reason 1or
there beng any tramps now. A
man can get work If he wants It,
The man who tramps is simply
too lazy to work. If they were
given to understand that this
community would not tolerate
them they would soon let 1t severe
ly alone. Many farmers have
had the fear that tramps would
return and burn their barns If
treated in any other than a gen
tlemanly way. A man who would
commit arson would do it no mat
ter how he is treated. Ifa tramp
is so disposed he will do 1t as
readily after he has been given q
good meal as he would after hav,
ing been driven from the premis
es. If tramps once learn that a
com munlty is dead set against
them, and that a concerted feel.
ing exists in such a community
to get rid of these persons, that
neighborhood will not he annoyed
to any great extent. 1t is the
kindness bestowed upon these
fellows that makes them tramps,
and frequent visitors in certain
localities.
The P. & r. railroad company
is taking firm stand on this
question and are taking vigorous
and determined measures to free
