The Oxford, Pa, Press gives the
following account of the blast:
Contractors for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company who are
in charge of the extensive work
that the company is carrying on
at Safe Halbor, along the Port
Deposit branch of the road, on
Friday accomplished one of the
most remarkable engineering feats
ever attempted in this section of
the country. They have blown
away the side of a mountain. That
branch Of the line is being i'm
proved and numerous changes are
being made in the route. At one
place it was desired to extend the
tracks to a certain point, but a
mountain interfered, so it was de.
cided to remove the obstruction
and this has just been accom-
plished.
"More than seventy tons of high
explosives were used in crushing
the immense rock that stood in
the path of the line that is being
extended along the Susquehanna
River in order to shorten the route.
Sixty holes were drilled into the
rock and the charges set off sim
ultaneously.
"When the explosion occurred
on Friday the country for miles
around was shaken as if by some
mighty earthquake and the vibra-
tion lasted for several seconds.
Tons of earth and rock were hurled
into the air and fell in showers
for a considerable distance. Extra
precautions had been taken by the
contractors and no one was allowed
near the place. A party of en-
cheering officers of the railroad
company witnessed the blast and
pronounced it a success. A rock
that measured 800 feet in length,
$50 feet in width and 60 feet in
depth was broken into small
pieces. The construction of that
particular branch of the road will
be completed in a few weeks and
thrown open to traffic. "

LABOR FOR THE SOUTH.
The Railroads Will Try to Relieve
the Scarcity.

Several years ago the state of Geor-
gia appropriated $4,000 for an immi-
grafton department. A representative
was sent to Europe to interest the
people to come to this country. He
was a German and he induced his SIS
ter-in-law to come over. She settled
in Atlanta, married here and had one
child. These two additions to Geor-
gia's population were the total results
of the states $4,000 experiment.
The railroads. however, have been
working Systematically for years to
bring in new settlers and fresh capital.
They have directed their efforts chiefly
to the work of interesting the thrifty
farmers and mechanics of the west and
they have located thousands of them
in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and
other southern states. They are now
planning to get immigrants direct from
Europe for the southern farms, mills,
factories and furnaces. In many Sec
tions, labor is so scarce that the farmers
cannot get enough help to properly till
their lands.
Hon. Ross q. Smith, Commissioner
of Alabama's immigration and Indus
trial Associations, who was in Atlanta
last week, stated that the prospects
were very encouraging. There is not
anything like the shortage of labor in
the west that there is in the south, :"
he said. "This is largely because the
western roads have been taking hum
dreds OF thousands of immigrants direct
to the west in years past. Our southern
roads realize that the situation is grow
ing desperate here in the south and
they intend to make strong effort to
draw good class of foreigners into
this territory"
Zone of the best effects that an influx
of good white labor to the south will
accomplish, will be to stimulate the
negro and make him work more regu-
larry. AS long as the negro knows that
there are two jobs for every man that
wants to work, the more he is inclined
to loaf and idle away his time. Then
again the Negroes proper place is in the
cotton and corn field, and away from
the towns and cities. He is decidedly
more peaceful and a better citizen on
the farm than he is elsewhere. While
many of the foreigners are good hands
in the fields, they cannot handle the
mule and are not as satisfactory for
farm work as the negro.
II believe that by next spring there
will be a big stream of white foreign
labor coming into the south"

A man near Denison was bitten
by a copper-head few days ago
and immediately plunged his foot
into a basin filled with coal oil.
After few hours treatment of
this kind he removed his foot and
has never experienced any more
trouble from the bite. Another
instance of the same kind comes
from Clay county where a 12-year-
old girl was bitten by a diamond
rattlesnake, Her foot was SUBJ
merged in coal oil and a liberal
amount of whiskey given.

Sixty years is "too DID," Ell?
The other night Capt. Wade Bell,
of the steam barge Taylor, fell
overheard from his vessel twelve
miles off shore near Laurel, Del.
No one saw the captain fall, and
the noise of the machinery drown
ed his calls for help, Seeing that
he was being left, the captain
took his bearings and struck out
for shore, twelve miles away. AT.
ter an hour he made out a light
house, which confirmed his reck-
oning, and he swan on bravely.
Two hours more his feet touched
the single and a wave rolled him
up on the beach, exhausted but
alive. After resting on the sand
until daylight, he walked to a
settlement and got something to
! eat. Does that look as if the man
Of sixty has no vitality left?

LURID POLITICS.

Judging from the almost I'M
temitting sheet lightning that
sbimmers over the political hori-
zon, the approaching election Pc
Rod will be stormy aud sulphuric.
A slow gathering and long de-
ferred storm is usually full of
fury and pregnant with evil and
when at last it breaks direful re-
suits are sure to follow.
In our Judgment it does not re-
quire all expert forecaster of poll
tical events to reach the conclu-
sion that from all the signs OF the
present a stormy election is ap-
proaching--an election character
lied by acrimony and personal
vituperation.
This ought not to be, and we
call upon present and prospective
candidates to desist from q cam
paign of abuse, aid at the same
time we call upon the voters of
this commonwealth to rebuke
every candidate who projects his
race upon so low and contemplate
plane by voting against him.
In this supposedly free country,
men have a right to run for office
and the voters will settle the mat
ter of their fitness i'll comparison
with their competitors at the
olls.-Rockmart Courier.

More than twenty-eight years
ago Frank f. Schoales disappeared
from Philadelphia and all trace
Of him was lost. About the same
time Frank E. Rose appeared in
Cincinnati, where he soon married
q wife. A family of several chill
dren were born to the couple.
Rose died some days ago. On his
deathbed he confessed to his wife
that'he had married her under an
assumed name; that he was the
missing Schoales; that his reason
for concealing his identity was
that he had committed a crime in
Philadelphia, where he had left a
son. The case illustrates how
easily one may drop out of exist
ence, SO far as one locality is con-
cerned, and become another man
in another locality not far away.

one individual is in this great
country.

Jones county has the highest
tax rate of any county in the
state. The authorities have Just
notified the comptroller general
that the rate will be $3.50 en-
$1,000, to which $3.50 must be
added for the state, making a
grand total of $21.50 on each
$1,000. This rate is about three
times as much as the average rate
of taxation throughout the state,
and was brought about by the fact
that the county is paying for a
new court house, and, in the alb
sence of bonds, high taxation was
resorted to.

THE SOUTH'S GOLDEN AGE.

The South is rich and it is
steadily growing richer. The pros
pect ahead is SO brilliantly invit-
ing that it's contemplation ought
to leave no time for unavailing
regrets for an imaginary time
when the South was doing better.
This is it's golden age, not the
days of slavery, of ruinous inter-
rates and Of capital absorbed in
slave property.-New York Sun.

1t is estimated that the Russian
wheat crop of this year will be
not less than 5000, 900 tons short.
This would mean a shortage of
about 30, 100000 pounds of bread.
Famine has already begun to stalk
through some of the provinces.
and there is a prospect of famine
in others. The failure of the
wheat crop is believed in Paris to
be one of the strongest reasons
why Russia held out against pay
ing ali indemnity to Japan.
