He occupied a cell at the police station for several hours before being taken to Somerset connty.

This merger will wipe out all th'e trouble ou this score and it is thought there will be no difficulty in securing from councils tbe franchise over the streets of town.

There is a very healthy public sentiment in this place in favor of granting the street railway people the franchise asked, because it is recognized by all, especially the business interests, that much valuable trade which ought to be coming to Indiana from Ernest and CreeKside on the north and some towns to the south is; being deflected elsewhere because of tho lack of transportation facilities, such as the street railway will afford. has as yec been no formal reorganization of the merged compan- iesjjut it is said that the construction of the road will "be undertaken as soon as it can be arranged. Last summer a survey of the route between Blairs- viile and Indiana was made under the auspices of the Indiana Blairsville Intersection Street Railway company. It is thought the name to be adopted by the merged interests will be "Indiana Street 'Railway Company." VlcJons Horse Spoils 'a Face.
