Profits in Poultry.
On the first day of January last I
reported on hand 26 fowls which I in
ventoried at §13.00. Since then I have
paid for all the food except the refuse
i from the kitchen where food for six
persons has been prepared. It lias cost
me §5.40. During this time I have
gathered 2,069 eggs; 13 of these I set
; under a hen and have raised six
| chickens, now half grown. The aver
! age wholesale price of eggs during
this time, at Emporium, has been over
12 cents per dozen. 2,069 eggs less 13
eggs set leaves 2,056 eggs at 12 cents
j per doz., $20.56. 1 have killed five
fowls for the table, $2.50. I have now
21 hens, §10.50; six chickens, $1.50,
making $35 05, less inventory and food,
$18.40, leaves/a gain of $16.65 on an in
vestment of $13.00, for six months.
Two things are necessary to success in
any undertaking: "Know how." "Do
it." This applies to eathing fish, pick
ing plums, shooting duck, running egg
machines, and every calling, profession
and business.

Pig Iron at S2O.
Pig iron at S2O per ton means that
there is such a demand for it among
people who must use iron for plowing
and mowing, for bridges and houses
and for tools of all sorts that they are
willing to pay twice as much for it as
they did in January rather than do
without. It means that everybody is
hustling to the top of their bent for
the good things that this big land offers.
It means that the iron trade has struck
one of the greatest periods of prosper
ity that it has ever experienced; and
the prosperity of the iron trade indi
cates that everything else is prosper
ous, for every other trade and occupa
tion depends more or less on it. The
news of the extraordinary demand for
pig iron is accompanied by the an
nouncement that the New England
cotton mills, which not long ago were
supposed to have received a fatal blow
from Southern competition, are ex
ceeding all of their former records.
The old wages have been more than
restored and all of their old trade and
much more have come to them.
We are informed also that the sales
of clothing this summer have broken
all former records, and what ever di
rection we look we find the people able
; to indulge in the luxuries and necessi
| ties of life on a scale hitherto uneqeal
| ed. The predictions of the prophets
i of optimism have all come true, and
| the faith in the resources and energies
i of the people have been more than
j justified, and the end is not yet. There
! never was a time when there was so
i little chance for those who thrive by
| calamity howling, and there never
j was an instance in our history when
; the predictions of the perveyors of
quack remedies for industrial and fi- I
nancial ills were so completely contra- |
dieted as has lately been the case.—

i Fatal Wreck on the Ridgway &
Clearfield Branch Monday.
I Renovo News, Tuesday.
A fatal wreck occurred shortly after
noon yesterday at Short's Mills, an
unimportant station on the Ridgway
& Clearfield branch of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, not far from Ridgway,
in which Michael J. Welch, of Ridg
way, was instantly killed, and Engi
neer James Walsh slightly injured by
jumping. The heavy rains of Sunday
and yesterday had washed a large log
j onto the track which curved sharply at
that point The train, heavily loaded
! with passengers!, was running at a high
[ rate of speed and was almost upon the
j obstruction before the engineer became
| aware of the danger. He reversed the
| engine, applied the air brakes and
culled to Welch to jump and jumped
J himself.
j In striking the log, the engine broke
j loose and plunged over a fifteen foot
j embankment into the Toby branch of
j the Clarion river. The car next to the
engine swung across the track and
j hung half over the swollen waters of
the stream.
It was the prompt action ofEngineer
Walsh which doubtless saved the lives
of many of the passengers and beyond
a severe shaking up not one received
the slightest injury.
The deceased fireman, Michael
Welch, was known and highly es
teemed all along the line. lie had
many friends in Renovo who speak
most highly of him and are sincerely
sorry to learn of his untimely end.
The train is known as No. 103, which
leaves Ridgway at 12:20 p. m. The R.
& C. is a branch of the Phila. & Erie,
and extends as far as Falls Creek.
The engineer of the ill-fated train,
James Walsh, is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Walsh, of Renovo, and his friends
j here are glad to learn that he escaped
! without any serious injury.
Fireman Welch was not in the habit
of working on Mondays, but yesterday
j was obliged to make the run on ac
! count of the illness ot the fireman who
I usually was on duty Monday.
I The dead fireman was Chief of the
Ridgway Fire Department and one of
the hardest workers in any enterprise
that called for hustle and a clear head.
Ife was married and resided with his
wife in Powell's addition, but did not
| have any children. Mr. Welch was
[ about thirty-five years of age and
leaves a father and a mother, Mr. and
Mrs. Roger Welch, of Brockwayville.
The wrecking train and crews from St.
Marys and Kane were called out.
Dairy Rules.
The lowa Agricultural College
Creamery has promulgated the follow
rules, which could be profitably ob
served by all patrons of creameries
and dairymen in general:
1. Nothing but tin pails should be
used in the milkyard, as it is impossible
to keep wooden pails sweet.
2. The cows' udders should be care
fully washed before any milk is drawn.
3. Milk should be aired immediately
by pouring or dipping from pail to
pail before cooling, and then be cooled
to at least 60 degrees.
4. Milk should be kept where the
surrounding air is pure and free from
stable odors or taint of any kind.
5. Morning's milk should be cooled
before mixing with the evening's milk.
0. Cows should not be permitted to
drink stagnant or impure water, but
should have abundance of good water.
7. Cows should be driven quietly to
and from pasture.
8. Cans and pails should be washed
carefully with warm water, but not
hot, and care should be taken to clean
the seams of the receptacles; then they
should be scalded thoroughly with hot
water and be aired.
Valuable Deposits.
Very extensive deposits of fire clay
have recently been discovered in this
section —mountains of it. All required
now is is find the parties desiring a
good location for a brick plant, with
cheap fuel and excellent railroad facili
i ties.
Annual Outing.
The Pennsylvania R.R. shop pic
j nic come to Emporium, again this
I year, next Tuesday boing the day.
j It is anticipated there will ho forty
j car loads.
The (ias Field.
There can be no doubt that gas
(exists in this county in paying
j quantities, if not oil. The wells
! lately drilled have shown that a
gas, and possibly an oil field, is
, close I>3\ Let us not give up our
research. The well on Si/.er Run,
is not a failure by a mill site. The
gas is stronger to-day than any
time, with strong indications of oii.
A Death Trap.
Last Friday evening the War
ner House 'bus had a close call,
while crossing the \\\ N. Y. & P.
track, at the junction. The 'bus
was heavily loaded with passengers,
many of whom got out and walked
after their fright. Something
surely can, and should be, done at
once before we have to chronicle a
horrible accident at this death-trap.
The proper persons should see to
this and not wait until it is too
late.
Renovos Beaten by Emporium.
The Renovo base ball team
crossed bats with Emporium at
the latter place on Friday, and
met with their first defeat this
season, in a game in which the
visitoi's were outpointed and out
classed. The score was 10 to 2in
favor of Emporium, and up to the
seventh inning it looked like a
complete shut out, when the visi
tors managed to scratch in one run
on a hit and an error, and scoring
a run in the eighth on a long left
field drive by Gordon. Our boys
started out with two runs in the
first inning and five in the next
and from then on the game was
never in doubt. The home team
fielded brilliantly and Overturf
] itched excellent ball giving the
visitors only five hits and striking
out ten men. The features of the
game were the running catches of
high flies by MeFaddenand Wykoif
and the double play by Ganey,
George and Farrell. The follow
ing is the score by innings:

STABBING AFFRAY.
Wicked Blowville the Scene of the
Hurderous Assault.
Last Saturday evening Dan Grat
ton an employee of the J>. S. R.,
with headquarters at Blowville.
visited William Anson's "pig's
ear to pass away the evening.
Having several nickels about his
person he concluded to try his luck
on the nickel-in-the-slot' machine.
Considerable money was fed into
the machine without any returns,
which caused Gration's angry pas
sion to rise. lie accused Anson of
having fixed the machine, and An
son replied by calling Gratton ad
liar. Ihe quarrelling continued a
few minutes when ]\lrs. Anson ar
rived and she suggested to her hus
band that he kill Gratton. The
advice was adhered to, for as soon
as Gratton turned his back Anson
stabbed him in the back. Gratton
turned about and before he could
get his assailant under control he
stabbed him twice in his chest.
•The affray was interupted by the
presence of other woodsmen, and
Gratton was taken home and
medical assistance summoned. It
is believed that Gratton will live.
His age is years, and he is mar
ried.
We understand that Anson has
settled the difficulty with Gratton
by paying .so<)<) and'the doctor bill.

the Pennsylvania State Bar Associa- {

It is felt that a wise selection was made,
as Mr. Green is among the abler mem

gaged in active practice for over
twenty-eight years and is well read, j
boing widely known in Cameron '
county and the State generally. He is '
a member of the prominent law firm of |
