Reflecting in its widening circulation and increased advertising patronage the prosperity that marks the opening of the new year, The Pittsburg Times more than ever impresses upon its readers the excellence of its high standard and the success of its efforts to make a model paper for the indi vidual and for the family. The Times is a newspaper, sparing no pains nor expense to cover the world thoroughly every day, that its current page of history may be complete, and in its longer range overlooking nothing that occurs at home. It is clean, dignified and reliable, certain that no lack of these features can be made up in offensive sensationalism. It can be taken into the family circle with confi dence that its columns are filled with wholesom- instruction and entertain ment. WLci-ever known The Times is recognized as the best type of a con cise, crisp and complete newspaper, and among newspaper men it is the publication with which comparisons of excellence are made. While The Times is Republican in politics it realizes that others have a right to be on earth and that politics are not everything. When one cent a day will buy a morning paper it is foolish to lie without one. The Times is three dollars a year or six cents a week, and worth the money. The Ice Crop. The Mirror and Farmer says that aside from the financial advantages accruing from the use of ice upon the farm there 1 are uses to which it is put that contiibute to the comfort and enjoyment of tlie farm ;er and his lamily. The intense strain that was once borne by the farmers in , general towards making everything con tribute to the improvement of the farm or to the Lank account Las been superseded Ly a desire ou their part to enjoy some of the comforts and luxuries of life, and this we believe to be wise within a reasouaLie limit. Tlie driving horses, top buggies, good clotlies, pianos and vacation days j taken are evidence of this disposition ou i their part and the liberal use of ice upon | farms where a generation ago it was un known is in keeping with the spirit of the times so far as its family use is con cerned. This disposition to enjoy more I is not confined to farmers, for we find all j classes ot people spending more money j with each succeeding year for things that ! gratify their senses in some way. When j this is not carried beyond a certain limit it, is wise. Every person, whatever uiay | be his occupation, should strive to keep his expenditures inside of his receipts and 1 should plan his expenses in such a way 1 as to save something every year, barring unexpected expense,s from accident or sickness. After this has been done we ; like to see the enjoyment that comes to the family from thcjudicious expenditure ,of money. This phase of the question is, ; however, quite foreign from that upon which we begun and we return and urge ' farmers to lay in a supply ot ice mainly tor its financial value in various ways and incidentally for the pleasure that will be 1 derived from its use.

Robert Kane Shoots Stephen Cleary, Killing Him Instantly—The Coro ner's Inquest-Hurderer in Jail. Driftwood was thrown into great ex citement last Thursday evening, over the news that murder had been com mitted within the Borough limits, in the office of the Lafayette Hotel. The facts as near as we can procure them are as follows: Two of Driftwood's young men, Robert Kane, aged 18 i years and Stephen Cleary, aged 20 i years, engaged in a quarrel over some trivial matter and both lads caught j eacli other by the shoulders, each boasting that he was not afraid of the j other. Kane, the younger lad, who I has a violent temper and at times is j very iritable, drew a revolver from his hip pocket and placing it at Cleary's ! left temple pulled the trigger. Cleary ; died almost instantly. The spectators in tin: office were dumfounded and al lowed the murder to make his escape, although he was later captured at the home of his mother, by Justic Walter] Youthers, who immediately wired to j this place for Sheriff Swope, who left j on Erie mail and returned to Empo- j rium on Flyer with the prisoner, who j was placed in jail, where he will re- j main until April court for trial for this I horrible and uncalled for crime. The cause of the crime is hard to de- [ cide and many express the opinion that young Kane, not knowing the danger of a revolver, did not intend to shoot but pulled the revolver to i bluff Carey. We do not know any thing as to the character of the prison- j er. The murdered young man is very highly spoken of by the citizens of Driftwood. Justice of the Peace Youthers em pannelled a jury and held an inquest, which returned a verdict in accordance with above facts, "that Stephen Carey came to his death by a shot from a re colver fired by the hand of Robert Kane.' : Superannuation Fund. In connection with the pension fund of the Pennsylvania railroad, the great advantages of the superannuation fund of the relief department seems to be overlooked and not generally under stood. Take a case which will come under the rules of the two funds above men tioned. He is 71 years of age and has been in the service 47 years. His average monthly pay for the last ten years was §OB. Therefore, lie will re ceive from the pension fund forty seven per cent, of §6B, which is §31.96. He was also in the relief department from the start in the fourth class, with four additional death benefits. This will entitle him to receive from the superannuation fund §6.72 per month, in addition to the pension fund of §31.96 per month. From this §6.72 per month, will bo deducted §3.20 to keep up his death benefits of §2.000. Thus he will receive §36.08 per month and his life insurance or death benefits paid up. The amount received from the super annuation fund depends upon the amount the man has paid into the re lief and is calculated by multiplying the number of years he has been in the relief department by the number of calendar months of the year and this by the number of his class in the relief. Thus, the above amount of §6.72 is arrived at as follows: Assuming that the man above referred to would be retired on February 1, 1900; fourteen years multiplied by twelve months equals 168 multiplied by four equals §6.72 The §3.00 per month deducted, which is for death benefits, is eight times forty-five cents, the rate of death benefits for forty-five years or over, when entering the relief department. It is reported that the number of pensioners, after the first lot of re tirements, made by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the first of the year, would be between I,sooand 2,000. William Crawford's Funeral. W. E. Crawford's funeral at Olean last Thursday was very largely at tended. Services were held at the M. E. Church, and were conducted by Rev. Dr. Wilbor, assisted by Rev. Sleep, of Gardeau. St. John's Com mandery attended the funeral in a body. A large number of friends from Emporium, Sizerville and Gardeau paid their respects to the deceased. Chas. M. Rishell, representing the Geo. J. Laßar undertaking establish ment, of Emporium, prepared there mains for burial and went to Olean to oversee and superintend, the placing of a steel vault for the reception of the handsome couch casket fur nished by this house. License Court. Regular license court was held at Emporium last Monday, Hon. C. A. Mayer, President Judge and Associates Hons. John McDonald and J. C. Bon ham presiding. All applications, twenty-six in number, were granted. Farmers' Institute. The sessions of the Farmers' Insti tute at Emporium on Friday and Sat urday were quite well attended and very interesting. Many interesting and valuable papers were read. The session at Driftwood on Monday is also highly spoken of by those who attended. Off for Puerto Rico. Mr. Josiah Howard, accompanied by Thos. 11. Hammond, of Williamsport, John Howard, of Emporium, and A. S. Bisel, of New York City, will leave next Sunday evening on a six weeks' visit to Puerto Rico to take in the many interesting sights in one of Uncle Sam's new possessions. Married. On the evening of Dec. 26th, 1899, Mr. James M. Cockburn and Mrs. Cordelia Krats were quietly married at the bride's residence in West Ward, Rev. R McCaslin officiating. Mr. Cockburn is the well known and obliging employee of liveryman Fry at his livery barns, and the bride, who j lias recently moved here from Buffalo, is a very estimable lady. Death's Doings. MOORE. ISAAC MOORE, aged 58 years, after a long and painful illness, died at the I City Hotel, Emporium, on Monday | evening. The funeral was held at the i M. E. church yesterday at 2:00 p. m., | Rev. Shriner officiating. The deceased j had resided in this county during the past twenty or twenty-five years and followed the occupation of cook in the i lumber camps. He was a very quiet and | industrious gentleman and of more than j average intelligence. Isaac Moore was j a strictly sober and honest gentleman, ; and while his health was rapidly fail j ing, his remarkable grit kept him up ! in his battle for life, but his disease proved the victor and on Monday i morning he was found lying upon the j floor of his room unconscious. He ! peacefully passed away at 10:30 Mon day evening. Deceased was a member of Empo rium lodge, No. 984, I. O. O. F., under whose auspices the funeral was con ducted, the Odd Fellows and the Daughters of Rebekah attended the ! services in a body. j The absent relatives of the deceased j reside at Canesraga, N. Y., and it may | be consoling to them to know that the | esteem and respect in which he was I held by all who knew him was mani | fested by the large attendance at the I funeral. Peace to his ashes. ' Mansfield Moore, of Canesraga, N. Y., a brother of the deceased, arrived in Emporium yesterday in time for the funeral, thereby somewhat changing the arrangements made. He left this morning for home with the remains of 1 his brother. m t j Warren county farmers are being victimized by a western stove firm, who charge §65 for a §25 article. Growing Worse. The many friends of that excellent young gentleman, Olivine Downey, who has been in Philadelphia for medical treatment, will be pained to learn that his case has grown very serious, with little hope of his recovery. His mother was called to Philadelphia on Tuesday. Card of Thanks. E<lilnr I'rcss: Not having an opportunity to per- : sonally return our thanks to the kind j friends in Emporium who so lovingly : administered to the wants of our dear j departed brother, ISAAC MOORE, we take this method of expressing our deepest gratitude to Mr. \Vm.

Jasper Harris, the popular Fourth street clothing merchant comes out in this issue with a broad gauge ad. Read his special announcement. The gas pressure on Tuesday, after the line was repaired, was a dandy and we hope it may keep up all winter. Let'er boom; we can stand it. Governor Stone has appointed David Cameron, of Wellsboro, Judge of the Common Pleas Court of Tioga county to succeed Hon. John I. Mitchell, re cently elected Superior Court Judge. The voters of Potter county will de cide the question of "pig's ears" or "no pig's ears" at the February election. Their present law evidently does not prohibit worth a cent, if all reports are only half true. Geo. Van. Wert, one of our prosperous farmers, called at this office ono day last week, and told us that he had just butchered one of his immense hogs which dressed 708 pounds. This is the famous "O. I. C." brand and is con sidered the finest kind of porker known to stock raisers. Fakers coming into Emporium must find Emporium merchants "dead easy," judging from the success of the iaßt venture. Our home printers might talk until they were purple in tho face and then fail to interest the same indi viduals in a legitimate scheme that would be a benefit financially to both. The last venture benefits 110 one—but the promoter. Senator Depew is telling a story of a j New York factory which used to shut down every Christmas lor general overhauling. "This year," says the ! Senator, "the place was rushed with orders, and there was no let up except during the actual legal holidays, and many of the men weren't idle even then. One of tho workmen growled a good deal about having uo holidays and finally wound up by saying; 'lf this sort of thing keeps up I'll vote the Democratic ticket.'" NO. 47.
