A Pleasant Surprise Party—The P ine K ill Breaking Up and M aking Tronble. W estbeo o k v h l e , N. Y'., March 20.— Luther T. Rhodes has moved in Peel Wood’s house. The young people of this place gave George Clark and Sadie Freeman a sur prise party the night of the 20th. All had a first class time and went home ■well pleased with their evening’s entertainment. Thursday morning the weather was clear and quite warm, the birds were sing ing and before night it was cold and snow ing again. Blue birds and robins have come and gone three times this spring. There were several men so badly snow blinded while shoveling snow last week that they were unable to go out at all for 2 or 3 days. The entire family of George McCarter is sick with had colds, and one o f the little girls is dangerously ill with inflammation of the lungs. Fine kill broke up the night of the 2lBt, and made lively work for the men around the aqueduct. It also broke through Mr. S. W. Skinner’s fields and carried a large quantity o f ice and rubbish upon the fields. Tuis was caused by an obstruction in the Kill where the new railroad is to cross the stream; there was a temporary bridge at that point and not high enough to let the ice through, and it blocked up and the water ovei flowed the banks ; it then ran across to the wagon road and dammed against the upper side of the railroad so that the road was impassable for about ten hours. Then tbe water got a way through and ran o f f ; it left the wagon road in a had condition, and the men workeduntil midnight the 31st.

DORSHEIM E R The Proprietor o f the N ew York Star Sud denly D ies at Savannah, Georgia. Ex Lieutenant Governor Wm. B. Dor- sheimer, publisher of the New York 8tar^ died Monday night at Savannah, Ga, Mr. Dorsheimer left New York March ISth, and was then in apparent health. He was accompanied only by Mrs. Dor sheimer. They had purposed leaving on Blizzard Monday, the 12th instant, with the intention o f spending a few days in Washington before proceeding to Florida. Oxtthe way south Mr. Dorsheimer caught cold, and stopped off at the Pulaski Ho tel, Savannah, Ga, His illness was not considered serious until Monday, when, Mr, Ackerman, the managing editor of the Star, announced to the employes that the cold had developed into pneumonia. Although Mr. Dorsheimer died at 9 25 Monday evening, the news did not reach New York until Tuesday morning. He had been ill only four days. Mr. Dorsheimer was born in Lyons, Wayne county, N. Y., and was 57 years o f t^e. He was educated at Phillips An dover Academy, and at Harvard College. For a number o f years he was a member of the New York law firm o f Dorsheimer, Deyo & Field. He was United States Dis trict Attorney for the Northern District of New Yetk in 1867,and was Lieutenant- Governor of the state from 1874 to 1880, under Governors Tilden and Robinson. Mr. Dorsheimer was also a member of the 48th and 49th Congress. Originally a Republican, he transferred his allegiance to the Democracy with Greely and was afterwards prominently identified with Tammany Hall. In 1885 he bought the New York Star and was its sole owner until May, 1886, when a stock company was formed. He leaves no children. lave been pur- other im- lOtive.

With a minimum license fee of $500, youl say to every liquor dealer in Sullivan county: “ We place a prohibitory tariff on your business ; now close up.” The $500 fee demandeil is greater than tbe an nual sales o f liquor in many of the cross road taverns in this county.

The indications now are that the Metho dist Episcopal church will raise $1,200,000 for missions this year, as it will set out The Princeton Presbyterian church, Philadelpliia, raised $3,500 for the Million Dollar Relief fund. Archbishop Corrigan blessed the palms Sunday at the Cathedral in New York city and they were distributed to more than 10,000 people.

THE LAST OF THE BLIZZARD. For the first time since ‘‘Blizzard Mon day,” March 12th, a passenger train was run from Millertown to Dutchess Junc tion on Monday o f this week, the entire length of the New burg, Dutchess and Con necticut railroad. Fifteen miles of the eastern end of tbe road was blocked by the great snowstorm for two weeks. FEBFETUAL MOTION AGAIN. An Oneida County M an H a s a M achine ■Which Excites M u ch Curiosity. Considerable excitement prevails in the valley of Oneida, in central New York, over a machine which seems to embody the mechanical principles necessary to establish perpetual motion. The macbine is on exhibitio n in the Evans House, and is said to mu with considerable force, and increaring velocity. E. B-Jennings,now of Oneida, but formerly of Lyons, N. Y., is the inventor. The plan on which it is constructed is a simple one. It consists of a heavy chain with long flat links. These links are so construe ted that when going over the top pulley they double up, forming a heavy weight; ana when they strike the lower pully they lengthen out again, thus mak ing a much lighter weight of chain on the inclined plane through which the upward motion is conducted. It will be seen that its force is derived from the extra weight Of the falling portion of the chain. A description of the new invention has been sent to the Seientific American, and we shall probably soon hear of its com parative worth from scientific authorities. It is, to say the least, quite an ingenious contrivance, no matter what may be its fate in the mechanical world. TH E COOKS T ^ L S ACCIDENT. Nam es o f the Men Blown up hy the D y n a m ite Cartridge. In giving an account of tbe dynamite accident on the Beaver Kill at Cooks Falls, Delaware county, Sunday morning, the Middletown Press says the dynamite was frozen when the men went to work, and the caps were placed in a pail of hot water to thaw out. Three of the caps were taken out of the water and placed on a board, and the men had six more to put in the pail when the explosion occurred. Four of the men were injured by the premature blast. They were Thos. Brab- ney of Neversink Flats; Lewis Norton of Trout Brook : and Irving Stewart and Dowd Cole of Cook’s Palls. Brahney had a leg badly broken and his face cut. Norton also had a leg badly broken and bad his head and face cut, and was also cut in the groin. Stewart had a bad cut In the leg, the left knee cap blown off, and bad cuts in tbe groin and around the face. Cole had the skin broken around the face. What caused the explosion is not known, unless it was the jarring they received. ___ ______ PERSONAL. The remains of little Eva Van Tassel were taken to Port Jervis for interment Monday.

He had been suffering from Bright’s disease for about a year and a half, and that was the cause of his death. For the last 10 years he had not been actively engaged in business. He was greatly interested in artistic and musical affairs, and his name is connected with a large number of local institutions of vari ous kinds.

Trains R u n n ing Over I t A ll Riglxt—A Worlxxuan’s NaxMrow Escape. The temporary trestling at bridge No. 9 was so far completed that trains were sent over tbestmeture yesterday afternoon. The first engine to pass was Charles My- gatt’s, No, 104, And train No. 4 followed in a short time. This was between 1 and 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Trains are now passing over it all right. Robert Johnson, one of the Erie car penter shop employes, narrowly escaped probable death, while at work on the bridge. He was some distance below the main structure when he slipped and fell. The river was plunging and roaring be low, no boat had been provided for the workmen in cases of emergency, and had he fallen into thesstream he must have drowned. But he threw out his arms and saved himself on some o f the timbers.

But few people have any idea of the enormous amount of railroad building that has been going on in this country during the past 20 years. When the Union Pacific railroad was completed, all the civilized world looked on and shook its head, but now, only 30 years later, the United States alone has five distinct railroads to the Pacific, and Canada has her own road, making a grand total of SIX, where hut a few years since it was thought that one would be a poor paying investment. There ai-e in the world 310,510 miles of railroad, of which the United States has 133,606 miles or nearly half as much as all the rest o f the world. Germany comes next to the United States with 19,535 miles. San Domingo has the least number of miles, having only 30, while San Salvador comes next with 39 miles. And China, with a popu lation of 430,000,000, has only 40 miles of railroad. The railroads of the United States have a capital stock of $3,999,508,508, and paid in dividends, $81,654,138 daring the year 1886, or a trifle over per 3 centum on the money invested, which is very small return for the share-holders. RAILROAD NEW S. Item s of Interest from the Great Iron Thoroughfares. The two long wooden spans in the Erie bridge over the Chenango Binghamton are to be replaced this spring by heavy iron trusses. The work will give employ ment to a large number of men. Opera tions will be in charge of Roadmaster Schultz, of Elmira, and will begin on May 1. John N. Abbott, late General Passen ger Agent of the Erie, and at present Pool Commissioner of a number of western railroads, with headquarters at Chicago, has been tendered the position of General Passenger Agent of the Baltimore «fc Ohio railroad. Mr. Abbott’s present salary is $ 10 , 000 . The petition sent to General Passenger Agent L, P. Parmer had the desired effect and hereafter train 13 will carry passengers and stop at Goshen. The strike of the switchmen in the Hornellsville yard is ended. Some of the men have gone back to work, the ring leaders can’t go back if they want to, and freight on the Erie is moving as usual. The strike was broken by the importation of men from Port Jervis and Elmira. Prom Port Jervis 12 men were taken.
