LAMMERS OIL CITY, PA. 1S3S--HENRV MARTIN ZAHNI8CR--1910 Henry Martin Zahniser, an aged and respected citizen of Tionesta, who was well and favorably known throughout several counties in western Pennsylvania, passed away at his residence here at 1:45 o'clock Wednesday morning. June 1, 11)10. The deceased bad been in falling health lor about a year previous to the end, and, about two weeks sgo, suffered a stroke of paralysis, since which he grad ually became weaker uutil the tiual hour as above stated. The deceased was born at North M Ills, Mercer county, Pa., April 23, 1830, and was a prominent member of the well known Zaboiser family, numbering a thousand or more, the annual reunions of which, held on the old homestead since 187.r, are notable events In the history of Mercer county, the members of which are scattered over the state and nation, a family history of which was published a few years ago, and the members of which are very highly regarded wherever known. This large family are decend- ants of one Matthias Zahnlser, whoso father, Valentine Zuhmsei, died at sea in the year 1783 while en route to America from the German Fatherland, leaving a widow and this infant son Matthias, lour years of age, to survive bim. The widow snd son Matthias finally reached a Ger man settlement In Lancaster county, Pa., where they found former friends, where the young Matthias grew to manhood, and where be married a Miss Mary Liut. He served his country faithfully as a sol dier In the war for American Independ ence and thereafter, with bis wife and family, removed to Allegheny county, Pa., where he resided for some years, but in 1797 ha again moved sod permanently settled In Mercer county In what Is now Lake township, a few miles northeast of the town of Mercer, built cabins, took up and settled lands, and engaged In the work of the hardy pioneer settlor of that early date. There he and his sons laid the foundation of a new settlement In the wilderness, married and multiplied, so that scores of their progeny now reside iu the same section of the country, while many have scsttered over the whole oountry so that probably every county in the state aud every state In the Union now has its representative. And none need to hesitate to acknowledge the name. The subject of this tketcb was the son of Jacob and Mai inda (Smith) Zahniser. He acquired his education In the publio schools of bis native county, and after arriving at the year of his majority, learned the blacksmith trade and followed the same near the old borne. He married Elizabeth DeFranoe in the year 1860, by whom 10 children were born, nine of whom are still living. In 1878 be was elected prothouotary of Mer cer county by a large majority on what was then the niiuority party ticket Iu that county, showing the respect in which he was held by his neighbors and friends. He performed the duties of this office faithfully and acceptably during bis official term, and upon bis retirement therefrom, removed to Forest county and settled upon a farm near Stewart run. In politics be was In early life a staunch CARAVAN BREADMAKING. Afghans Use Cobblestones, While Tur comans Like Sand. The brend of the Afghan caravan was cooked by heating small round cobblestones Iu the lire and then pok ing them out ami wrapping dough an Inch thick about them. The balls thus formed were again thrown into the lire, to be poked out again wheu cook ed. The bread tasted well there in the desert, Although iu civilized communi ties the grit mid ashes would have seemed unendurable. After good fellowship had been es tablished the Afghans actually sold us "oiiie Hour, says u writer in the Na tional Geographical .Magazine. The camp where we used it a little later happened to be beside the sandy bed of ti trickling talt stream, which was drinkable In winter, but absolutely un usable Iu summer, when evaporation ;. at its height nnd the salt is concen trated, 'See," said one of our Turcomans as we dismounted; "here is some sand. Tonight wo cau have some good bread." When sotno dry twigs had been gath ered he proceeded to (smooth off a bit of the cleanest sand aud built upon it a hot lire. Wheu the sand was thor oughly hot he raked off most of tho coals and smoothed the sand very neat ly. Meanwhile one of the other men had made two large sheets of dough Republican, but In later years be has voted the Prohibition ticket. While a resident of Mercer county be was a mem ber of the Presbyterian church, but after coming to Forest county, he became a Methodist, and at the time of his death he was a consistent member of the Free Methodist church at Tionesta. While re siding at Stewart run his first compan ion died in the year 1890, and in 1895 he moved to Tionesta, where he attain fol lowed his trade, until, failing health de manded retirement about a year ago. He was, in 1897, united in marriage with Mrs, Margaret DeVValt, by whom he Is sur vived. He is survived also by a family of nine children, one child, Mrs. J. G. Bromley, having died a few yeara ago. While residing in Harmony township Mr. Zahniser Berved as school director for many years and was census enumer ator of the township in 1900. Of the surviving children seven are sons and two daughters. Of the seven sons five are active as ministers of the F. M. church, three of them being district elders in thnt denomination, and two others pastors of churches. Two other sons are engaged as drillers In the Brad ford oil field. The children living are as follows; Mrs. J. N. VanDerlin, Bakers town, Pa.; Mrs. R. N. Raodlett, of Pitts burg, Pa.; Rev, Arthur D, Zahniser, dis trict elder of the F. M. cburcb, Blairs yille, Pa.; Rev. Jacob J. Zahniser, dis trict elder in the F. M. cbnrcb, Port Al legany, Pa.; Rev. Edmund S. Zahniser, district elder in the F. M. church, Mead ville, Pa.; Rev. Ralph A. Zahniser, pastor ofF. M. cburcb, New Brighton, Pa.; Rev. Archibald H. M. Zahniser, pastor of F. M. church at Youngsville, Pa.; Charles A. Zthniser, Bradford, Pa., and Henry M. Zahniser, Jr., also of Brad ford, Pa. He is also survived by three brothers and two sisters: Wm. F. and Jacob N. Zahniser, of Jaikson Center, Pa ; George M. Zahuiser, of Fredonia, Pa.; Mrs. Malinda Vernon and Mrs. Mar garet McCullougb, of Mercer, Pa.; also by 28 grandchildren and two great grandchildren, "Marl," as he was familiarly called by our oldest citizens, was a very compan ionable man, of friendly and affable dis position, and at the same time very con scientious as to his daily life, of a high sense ol personal duty toward God and bis lellow man. He was remarkably tol erant In his religious views, being espec ially liberal and charitable towards the religious convictions and the personal conduct of others. He was a good citizen, a kind friend, a sincere Christian, and bis loss will be severely felt by all classes in our community. The funeral services were held in the Tionesta M. E. church at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon, and the body was interred in Riverside cemetery. By special request of the deceased the sermon was preached by his eldest son, Rev. Arthur D. Zahn iser, and he was assisted in the services by Revs. W. O. Calhoun, E. L. Monroe, H. A . Bailey, B. F. Feit and R. McGar yey. The services were very largely at tended, testifying to the esteem in which the deceased was held In tbls community. about three-quarters of nn Inch thick and eighteen Inches In diameter. Be tween tlicso he placed a layer of lumps of sheep's tail fat, making a huge round sandwich. Tills was now spread on the hot sand, coals mixed with sand were placed completely over it, nnd It was left to bake. Now uml then an edge was Uncovered, and n Turcoman smelled It appreciatively and rapped on It to see if it was yet cooked. When the top was thoroughly baked the bread was turned over and covered up again. It tasted even better than the Afghan bread after it was cooied a little and the sand and ashes bad been whisked off with a girdle. The Turcomans arc so accustomed to life in the sandy desert that they think It impossible to make the host kind of bread without sand, whilo the Af ghans, who live in the stony moun tains, think that cobblestones ore a requisite. Bunching the Hits. A legal Journal tells a story of an Illinois attorney who argued to the court one after another a Beries of very weak points, none of which seem ed to the court to have miy merit liutll the court finally Bald, "Mr. , do you think there is anything In these points'" To which the attorney re plied, "Well, judge, perhaps there isu't much In uuy one of them alone, but 1 didn't know but your honor would kind of bunch them." , DEATH OF. W OT Was Known All Over United States as "0. Henry." End Came as Result of Complication of Diseases. With Cirrhosis of the Liver the Most Dangerous Factor, He Had Been a Sufferer For Sev eral Years- William Sidney Porter, Mho was one of the most popular short btory writers in America under the name of "O. Henry," died Sunday morning at the Polyclynic hospital on East 34th street, .New York. He had suffered for several years from a complication of diseases of which cirrhosis of the liver was the i"ost dangerous factor. For some time before the end came Mr. Porter suffered no pain. He was conscious just before he died, and smiled at the doctor and the nurse, the only ones at the bedside. During the past few years few con tributions to tho magazines have been more welcomed by publishers and pub lic than "O. Henry's." He was one of the masters of short story writing in this country, possessing a gift of fine humor as well as an ability for dramatic narration. He was one of the few vho could make slang really funny. He was essentially a humor ist. He was born 43 years ago In Creensborough, N. C. Several of his ancestors had been governors of the state. He went to Texas while he was still in his teens and spent two years and a half on a cattle ranch owned by a friend of his family, Lee Hall, who was a well known Texas ranger. But he got tired of the cattle busi ness and made up his mind that he wanted to write or draw. He had not much special prepara tion. A common school education and considerable reading of the class ics from his J 3th to his lf'th year was the education with which he Marted. For a time he ran a paper In Houston called "The Rolling Stone." During a visit to Central America lie got material for some of his most amusing stories, stories which had to do with the misadventures of Yan kees marooned In the Central Ameri can republics. He drifted around the country for a year or two selling a story now and then for a tenth of what he got In after year?, and Fnally landed In New York in 1901. Oilman Hall, then the editor of Ainslce's, liked Porter's work and offered him $1,200 for series of 12 stories but his name had little market value then but in a few years lie was getting 12 cents a word for all he could write.

The United States senate passed the so-called administration rail way bill last week thus ending a contest between the insurgents and the Republican regulars which has run on more or less regularly for al most three months.

Presence of Mind of an Engineer Calling Out to Passengers to "Hold Tight to the Seats" Undoubtedly Saved Men From Injury Every Window Smashed and Tracks Torn Up Beneath Coach. Mount Vernon, N. Y June 7. The presence of mind of Charles Smith, an engineer on the New Haven rail road, who was off duty, in calling out to his fellow. passengers in the smok er attached to the Boston express, A'lilch was-- the only car of the train that Jumped the tracks at West New Rocheile Junction, to 'hold tight to the seats" saved them from injury. The car turned over on Its side while traveling at the rate or 30 miles an hour, and although every window rlass was smashed and the tracks were torn from beneath the coach, not a eingle passenger was injured. At the place where the accident occurred there is a network of tracks and switches. The two bii? electric motors and the first seven cars passed over a switc.'i safely and thrn suddenly something happened. The rear ocach broke away from the smoker and crossed from the earn to the westbound ex press track, while the smoker Jumped the frog and tore over the ties, cut ting Ihem into kindling wood for a dihtance of two Hundred feet. It final ly broke the coupling and toppled over on its sid in a little gully be tween Hip cart and west bound tracks. The smoker contained 35 men and they crawled out through the win dows. The express was a heavy one and for a time great excitement prevailed among the passengers, especially among the women, many of whom screamed at the top of their voices. When the coupling broke between the two rear coaches thlr. forced the air brakes on automatically and the sud den stoppage or the train threw many passengers from their seats. H was fortunate that they was no east bound express approaching at the time as the two east bound tracks were blocked and a terrible wreck with great lo:-s of life might have re sulted. It Is generally believed that, the ac cident was due to the switch not working properly or else that the frog was out or place.
