Collins, who appeared on Tues day before the Slate Water Supply Com uussiou in the Tlonesta Water power pro ect, is one of the most remarkable men In bia section of the slate. Mr. Collins, to begin with, is worth some J2, 000,000 and dresses like a man who tills Ihe soil, and not very prosperous one at that. Fifty eight years sgo he went Into Forest coun ty, wben It deserved lis name, and is one of the men wbo bave become wealthy through lumbering. In tbe course of bis objections to the prijcts, whicli be claimed would submerge his lands and many others, he used vigorous language and did not spare tbe men back of the schemes lo create a great power plant. In fact at oue time the remarks of the pictur ei-que lumberman resulted In his being cautioned by Chairman Birkinbine. What astonished everyone, however, waa bis declaration tbat be was carrying oul some reforestation and planting trees himself. He is 81. Harrisburg Tele graph.

The dynamite bad been secured for use in blowing up Ibe old stone piers snd bsd been stored in tbe building mentioned only a short time be fore. What caused tbe stuff to explode Is still a mystery, as tbe party having It in charge says it was not near a Are. Tbe building was blown into splinters, and nearly every building wiibiu a radius ol several rods wss more or less damaged by broken windows, many ol them oostly late glass. Only one person, John Hurst waa injured, receiving a cut ou the face by a flying piece of wood. Tbe strange and lucky part of tbe whole affair la that there were no fatalities, and that no one was even seriously injured is little bort of miraculous. Th damage lo property in the vicinity will tun up quite well toward the f 25.000 mark. Where tbe responsibility will tall is yet to be de termined.

Feb. 3, 1012. He bad attended a revival meeting lu the evening, and dealb came suddenly a few mluulea after reach ing bis hmne at Big Run, Jeflnrsnu coun ty, fa , wnere ne nad been living a re tired life. Mr. Hicks was in his seventy seoond year and for many yeara was quite active in tbe Methodist churcb work, be ing quite well known all over Ibe con- lereuce. ai tue nine ni uis death he was on tbe superannuated list. The deceased is survivea oy nis wne. one child wss born In tbolr union, a girl, but she died about two yeara ago. Funeral services over the remains were held on Wednes day afternoon at two o'clock at Rig Run, District Superintendent Rev. Dr, J. Bell Neff presiding and assisted by several other pastors. Interment was made in Big Run and a large number ol ministers Irom all over tbe conference were present, Rev. Hicks was pastor of tbe Tionesta charge in the yeara 1S81, 1882 aud 18!3, and made bis last visit here on August 25, 11)08, at the lime of the laying of Ibe cor ner stone of the new M. E. church. In Rev. J.N. Fradenburg'a history of the Erie conference we learn that Rev. John P. Hicks was sent to assist Rev. A, J, Merchant ou Ihe Tlonesta circuit In tbe year 1808, which at tbat time consisted of Tionesta, Asbury Chapel, East Hickory Beaver Valley, Whig Hiil, Minister Mills, Newtown Mills, Ross Run, Guitonvllle and Nebraska.

He conducted re vival meetings with more or less success, T. D. Collins and some forty others were converted and united witb tbe church at that time. It required three weeka of constant traveling to till all of his ap pointments on tbls charge. Rev. Hicks waa beloyed and respected by his parish ioners lo every town in which he had served.

Up to the hour of going to press the Stsle water commission at Harrisburg bad annonnced no decision as to its course in tbe mstter of tbe attempted steal of ibe water rights on Tionesta creek and tbe Clarion river, and what its Intention is can only be conjectured. The committee of representatives which was sent down from this section to protest against tbe granting of sucb frightful rights to a fe- Individuals, came away impressed witb tbe thought tbat, Inasmuch as Ibe two members of tbe commission wbo beld tbe bearing were arguing In favor of Ibe charter applicants, tbere must be some understanding that tbe water commission would Anally recommend tbe grantlug of tbe horrible privileges.

Remember Johnstown and Austin! And for no other purpose than the possibility of further enriching a few whose wealth Is already a burden to tbem, The Clarion Democrat of last week bad this to say of tbe hideous proposition: Tbe people of Pennsylvania bave the right to look for and expect tbe care and protection of their Hate government un der all circumstances. The moment any element Is Introduced into Ibe affairs of the s'jite that Is harmful to tbe best in terests and protection of the people at large, that moment our state government should be made aware of Ibe impending danger and should begin at ouc-e to exer cise all of Its power lo overcome such armful thing or influence. woen a uumoer or men, unknown aa taxpayera, responsible citizens or busi ness men attempt to seize upon the rights of tbe people as a matter of speculation tbe State authorities should at once inter pret tbe law and make It tbe policy of the state lo Intervene and stop all such questionable enterprises. ine mere fact inat four or live men witb a very limited capital, or even laige capital, and a tremendous cupidity and nerve endeavor to use the corporation laws of this state lo steal away the rights of tbe people along tbe Clarion river and the Tionesta creek to satisfy their own greed at Ibe expense of tbe public, tbe stale authorities should put a slop to it at once and for all. Between the tate and national govern ment tbe people should surely be pro tected. I'orkey, Messrs.
