Railroad Extension News.

goodly number of our citizens gath.
cred at the court house Tuesday evening
to hear the report of Messrs. F. r. Lam
son, II. M. Herman and s. s. Sigworth.
the committee appointed to ascertain the
cost Of the right OF way for the proposed
extension of Mr.. T. d. Collins railroad
from Nebraska to Tionests. After care
fully going over all the ground with ex-
pert railroad men, the committee reported
that the approximate cost of the right of
way from the Green township line to the
lower end OF the brick pavement would
be $500. From this point to tho ball
ground, via the Back Channel route, the
approximate cost of the right of way and
grading would be $500, making $1,000
which 1t would be necessary to raise, as 1t
is proposed to offer this route gr AIDED and
ready for the ties TO Mr.. Collins, in lieu
of the route proposed by him up Elm
street and down Bridge street. A letter
| from the Tionesta Borough Council de-
tining their attitude in the matter was
read and the consensus of opinion of
all present was that the attitude of the
Council was eminently right and fair,
considering all the circumstances. The
report was received with.a vote of thanks
but the committee was not discharged.
There was the best of feeling all around
and the meeting adjourned to meet at the
call OF the Board OF Trade. Mr.. Collins
being in California for two weeks, the
matter will rest until his return. Now
boost, and we'll get our railroad. The
letter from the Council follows:
To the Tionesta Borough Board of Trade:
GENTLEMEN:-There has been some
misapprehension among some of the citi-
zens of the Borough as to the attitude of
the Borough Council toward the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Collins to build his railroad
to Tionesta. We therefore wish to define
our position.
The Borough has expended large sum
of money and assumed considerable
burden of debt to secure the paving and
beautifylng of. Elm and Bridge streets
and the Council does not feel inclined to
grant franchise for the laying of tracks
on these streets except as last resort.
The Council is of the opinion that the in
terests of Mr.. Collins and of the Borough
will be best promoted by the adoption of
the Back Channel route and that every
effort should be made to secure the adop-
tion of this route. If, after thorough in
vestigation, 1t should prove impractical
BILE to find suitable right-of-way along
the banks of the Back Channel and the
river, then the Council will consider the
grant of franchise for laying tracks on
the paved streets under such restrictions
as will protect the interests of the Bor-
ough in the future.
The Council does not desire to place
any obstacle in the way of the acceptance
of the proposition of Mr.. Collins, but, on
the other hand, will furnish all the assist
ance in its power to bring the matter to
an issue satisfactory to the citizens of the
Borough. At the same time, the men,
bers of the Council feel that il Is their
duty to protect the interests of the Bor-
ough and to refrain from entering into
any engagements which might, in the
future, be detrimental to its citizens.

flowing and Porkey Run came down the
alley in the middle of the street, causing
Lafe Litllefield to flee from its wrath or

it safe, but on his return the bridge went

close enough there was an explosion that
severely burned him about the face and
head. The wounds were attended to by
the Kellettville doctor, and Roy will be
good as new in a short time. The line
under Emmett Browns house was pulled
apart also and there was a large escape of

Private Sale of Farm Machinery,
Livestock, Etc.

S. l.. Keighley, who, two years ago
acquired and has occupied the Peter
Youngk farm, in Green township, has
determined to make change and will
shortly remove to the city. This means
that he will dispose of all farm machinery
and implements, most of his household
effects and utensils, large amount of
livestock, such as horses, cows. hogs and
chickens, at great sacrifice" almost at
your own price," as the saying Is. He
prefers to do this at private sale, rather
than at public auction, and he invites any
who hsye in mind The purchase of any
thing in the line mentioned to call at his
premises and see what bargains he has to
offer. Remember that all machinery,
tools, etc., are yet practically new, but
nothing like new" prices will be ex-
pected. Here is rare opportunity for
those in need of anything in this line.
Remember the place, known as the Peter
Youngk farm, about two miles from Ne
braska.

severe epidemic of typhoid, some 3O-odd

The last heard from Ernest Kerr,
seriously i'll at Warren Emergency hos
pital from the effects of an accident sus-
tained several months ago, was to the
effect thst he had shown evidences of i'm
provement, and that his physicians were
more hopeful of his recovery. Mr.. Kerr
was injured in a woods accident in the
early part of the summer, being struck
on the head by falling tree, but had
recovered to return to his
work in the woods near Hastings, to
which place he had moved his family
from Marienville. A recurrence of the
trouble caused by the injury to his head
made it necessary to take him to the hos
pital for treatment in the hope of saying
his life.
