by fire, together with its contents, on
lust Friday evening. The bam con

oats, no part of which was saved. The
stock in the barn, consisting princi
pally of mules, was saved. Several
dogs perished In the flames. There
was some insurance, though we have
not learned the amount. See " Wilcox

Wilcox Notes.
Wilcox, Oct 15th. 1878.
The Tanning Company's barn
with all its contents, except their
teams and part of their harness, was
destroyed hy fire last Friday night.
The barn was the largest and most
complete of anything of the kind in
Elk county, being about two hundred
feet long, and fifty or sixty feet wide.
It contained two hundred tons of hay,
about three thousand bushels of corn
and oats, a threshing machine, a mow
ing machine, three or four carriages
and buggies, several cutters and light
sleighs, two or three lumber wagons,
a large quantity of haying tools, in
cluding the machine for hoisting hay
to the upper part of the barn, and
various other articles such as are
Usually stored about a building of the
kind. The estimated loss is $15,000;
insured for about two-thirds the
amount. Cause of the fire unknown,
but most every one has a theory of his
own. Sohie think it was the work of
an incendiary, others that trumps huJ
gone Into the barn to sleep and acci
dentally set it on fire, which latter
seems a little doubtful as the night
watchman passed through the barn
only half an hour before it was all in
flames. Another theory is that so
large a body of hay may have gener
ated heat which produced spontaneous
combustion.
The youug people had a dance
Friday night for the benefit of the
yellow fever sufferers at which they
took in nearly fifty dollars. They had
only fairly commenced dancing when
the cry of fire caused a stampede, and
the gallant young men left their fair
partners and rushed to the scene of
conflagration, there doing brave aud
hard work tearing down sheds, and
throwing water on adjacent buildings,
thereby saving a large amount of
property. Had the wind blown hard
from the south no human effort could
have prevented the destruction of a
large part of the lower end of town.

The Clarion Senatorial Contest.
Ex-Senator Brown, of Clarion, in
an article recently published in the
Derrick, after giving numerous rea
sons why Hall, the nominee of the
Senatorial conference should not be
supported by Democrats of the Oil Re
gion says:
"I will not prolong this article at
present, but If necessary at another
time will give Mr. Hall's record and
standing as a corporation lawyer and
legislator refer to the nine million
steal which he supported the manner
he and Tom Scott's man Sam Moon
manipulated Millstone township
from Forest to Elk county, and then
attempted to throw Washington and
Farmington to vnships of Clarion into
Forest to compe isate for the other lar
ceny his connection with the Clarion
River navigation, etc. These and
many other tilings will be brought
out during the eauvas. For the
present I propose standing as the anti
monopoly candidate of the people,
having been nominated lya large ma
jority. Mr. Hull can run if he desires,
as u minority corporation monopoly
candidate."
We understand Mr. Brown has con
cluded, since writing the above, not to
stand as a candidate for Senatorial
honors. If this be true every man in
the Clarion region, regardless of party,
should stand by E. M. Grunt, the He
publican nominee, who is thoroughly
identified with our oil interests und
is a gentlemen of integrity, honor and
ability. The Oil Region wants no man
in the Senate or House next year whose
record us a friend of the oil producer
is not above even suspicon. Mr. Hall
is certainly not that kind of a mun.

Peterson's Magazine, the cheap
est und best of the Lady's books, is on
our table for November. The princi
pal steel engraving, "For Mother's
Fire," is rarely beautiful. So, also, is
the mammoth colored steel fashion
plate. But, us a cotcmporary says, the
stories, the fashions, the patterns, in
short, everything in "Puterson" is the
best of its kind. For 1879 a monthly
Supplement will be given containing
a Full-sized Paper Pattern for lady's,
or child's dress, thus giving to every
subscriber twelve such patterns, extra,
during the year. These patterns alone
will be worth the subscription price.
Fve original copy-right novelets will
also be given, besides a hundred shorter
stories. Among the novelets will be
one by that celebrated author, Frances
Hodgson Burnett, and another by the
author of "Josiuh Allen's Wife." The
price of this Ludy's Book is but Two
Dollars a Year, the postago pre-paid
by the publisher. To Clubs the prices
ure greatly reduced for 1870, viz : two
copies for $3.50, with a superb Mez

Small game, such as rabbits, par
tridges, and squirrels, haven't been so
thick in years as they are this season.
The reason is that last winter was uu
usually mild. Very cold weather kills
them off. Heavy snows invariably
decreases the number of partridges, for
they have a practice of plunging into
it and remaining there for a time. If
while they are in It a crust foruw they
are imprisoned and die ere they can
release thoniselvea.
Spbakino of the vast and to a
great extent unavoidable destruction
of property by fire in this country, the
Fireman suys that fires are Increasing,
both in number and dintructlveness,
far more rapidly than the increase of
wealth and production. It Is computed
that from an annual loss by fire in 18C8
of $35,000,000, the annual loss, exclu
sive of exceptional flres sucli as Ij( ."Ton
and Chicago, (if such may be tailed
" exceptlonal,")hs Increased to $100,
000,000. The full significance of this
statement cannot be realized unless
analyzed. This loss is the irreme
diable loss of human production and
Industry. It Is the conversion of
human blood, i brawn and muscle,
necessary to create $100,000,000 of value
Into ashes and smoke. Assuming the
labor that produced this value to be
worth $3 per day, this loss Is of more
than the combined labor of 100,000 men
for one entire year. Then, too, It
must be remembered that this is the
surplus production. It has been
accumulated by producers after earn
ing livelihood for themselves and
families, and paying their share of
the cost of government and their pro
portion of the burdens of society. It
would require, then, the lubor of 100,
000 men for 20 years to replace by sur
plus production this annual loss. It
Is not only so much wealth subtracted
from tho resources of the country, but
it Is the loss of the productive power
of so much capital.
The Collector of Internal Revenue
nt Little Rock, Arkansas, telegraphs
for military assistance to enable him
successfully to attack and destroy four
illicit distilleries, which he had dis
covered on Bennett's Bayou, in that
State, and which he cannot capture
with any force at his disposal because
they are fortified. It appears that a
combination of gentlemen engaged in
this branch of Southern industry es
tablished four distilleries near together,
and surrounded them with regular
rifle pits and armed theireinployesand
others for protection against United
States officers. The Collector had
made ineffectual efforts to dislodge
this torce, but it still remained and de
fled him. The request for troops was
referred to the Secretary and will be
laid before the President. It is not be
lieved in the Treasury Department
that any military assistance can be
rendered under the Democratic iiosse
comitatus law. In case the Attorney
General decides that no soldiers can be
used, the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue will doubtless authorize the
employ men t of a sufficient force of
deputies to carry this fortification, de
stroy the property and arrest the gar
rison. The latter Is reported to num
ber sixty men.
From the Clarion Republican.
The State Senatorsbip.
Hon. R. B. Brown, we learn, stutes
that he intends to continue a candi
date for Sonutor. What party or inter
est Mr. Brown represents we are at a
loss to know. He cannot claim the
support of the Democracy, nor of the
Republicans. As to the oil interests,
E. M. Grant, the Republican candidate
for Senator, ably represents it, being
an extensive producer of many years
standing, a member of the general
council, and enjoys the full confidence
of the producing interests. This inter
est have determined to elect Mr. Grunt.
He is every way qualified for the posi
tion. Republicans, and the oil inter
ests, without regard to party, realize
this. It is an unwarranted assump
tion, in Mr. Browu claiming to be the
embodiment of the oil interests. He
is only one member of the stinie, und
will best show his sincerity by ussist
ing the producers to elect the represen
tative man of their interests, E. M.
Grant. By such action only cun he
hoiie to convince those engaged in the
oil business of his sincerity.
Fire at Edinburg.
A special from the Edinburg, Pa., to
the Commercial-Gazette gives the par
ticulars of the destruction of that place
by fire Sunday morning. Tho lire
broke out at half-past three o'clock, in
the rear of Wilbur's livery stable,
Main street, spreading rapidly and
soon swept over the entire block. The
firemen were promptly on hand,
but their efforts were paralyzed by the
insufficient wuter. The total loss is es
timated at from $350,000 to $400,000;
largely insured. Two hundred and
twenty-five buildings were burned,
and the town is almost completely de
stroyed. There is much suffering
among the loosers. A relief commit
tee has been orgunized aud the contri
butions of food from adjacent towns
and farmers in the vicinity are being
distributed to the homeless- The prin
cipal losers ure the Oil Well Supply
company, $80,000 ; Travis livery sta
bles, loss heavy but unknown ; Flynn
& Hamm, $18,000; Bennett house,
$12,000; Edenburg house, $12,000;

RAILROAD DISASTER.
New York, October 9. A dispatch
from Boston atiout the terrible railroad
accident on the Old Colony railroad,
neur Qulncy, Mass., yesterday, says:
Both engines and six cars left the
track, and, propelled upon each other
by the terrible momentum of the cars
behind, were ground Into each other,
overturned and wrecked. Three were
smashed. Into antoms. On the track
was a telegraph operator named M'Fur
land, and as soon an the accident hap
pened he cut the wire and telegraphed
to this city. The news spread every-,
where Instantly, and before eight
o'clock a crowd of ten thousand per
sons were gathered on the streets
about the depot One hundred police
men were quickly summoned and
formed a cordon uround the building
to prevent the depot from being filled.
Hundreds of these persons hud friends
aboard the train, and were frantic in
their inquiries for their safety. The
newspaper offices were thronged all
the evening with those who brought
rumors or sought information. The
wildest excitement prcvuiled until the
arrival of the wrecking trains, which
were sent out accompanied by the su
perintendent and other ofllcecs of the
road and by a corps of surgeons and a
large number of stretchers.
The accident occurred at the Wool-
aston gravel pits, where there is a slop
ing embankment of some twenty feet.
The conductor had ordered the brakes
applied, and the engineer of the second
engine had applied a pressure of 15
pounds when he felt his engine leuve
the truck. He denies that there was a
Toose rail or misplaced switch, and does
not attempt to explain the cuuso of the
accident. His engine pulled the first
from the track, and both plunged
down the embankment. The baggage
car, which immediately followed, was
pushed ulong the track and left stand
ing. The compartment cur struck the
corner of the second tender and had its
entire side torn out. In this there
were boating men and their ladies, and
reporters and every person on the left
hand side of the car was cither killed
or badly injured. The next car was
hurled to the other side of the truck
and broken In two. The three follow
ing cars plunged down the bank and
piled upon each other in one mass of
broken timbers, with hundreds of peo
ple dead, dying aud terribly hurt,
jammed together in extricnblc confu
sion. Those in the cars at the rear ex
perienced a slight shock as of a sudden
stop, but sat quietly for fully fifteen
minutes before ascertaining that there
was any serious trouble.

Ninety Bad Indians.
AND THE HAVOC THEY ARE CREAT
ING.
Washington, Octobers.
Mr. Hayt, Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, in course of a conversation
upon the recent Indiuu outbreak, gives
some new information as to the purpose
of the warlike bund of Cheyennes which
has been creating such havoc in Kan
sas and along the Pacific Railroad.
The band, it appears, consists of three
hundred persons, of whom only ninety
ure warriors, the rest being women
und children. The reports thut they
had only half rations ut the agency in
Indian Territory and were dissatisfied
on that account are not true. Their
dissatisfaction arises from an entirely
different cause. They belong to the
Northern Cheyennes, and, against
their will, a year ago were sent to the
Indian Territory. The remainder of
their tribe was left in the North while
an uffiliuted baud wus located ut the
Shoshone Agency in the Wild River
country, Wyoming. The bund wus lo
cated in the Indian Territory bus
never liked the territory, and has con
stantly desired to return and have fin
ally undertaken to do so. Commis
sioner Uayt is of the opinion that their
ultimate purpose is to reach the Shos
hone reservation, in Wyoming, and to
join their allied band there. Their
present direction, however, is toward
Red Cloud, iu Dakota, and they may
remain there, if prevented by troops
from entering Wyoming. The as
tounding skill and discipline of these
00 warriors is shown by the fact thut
they, with 210 women and children,
have already made a march of neurly
800 miles and have constantly kept in
advance of troops that were pressing
them from every quarter.
THE COST TO THE GOVERNMENT.
Senator Plumb, of Kansus, who is
here,' and who is a member of the
army commission, says thut in a finan
cial point of view alone this raid of
ninety warriors will cost the govern
ment much more than it would have
cost to have maintained a full cavalry
regiment in that country. At present
neurly all the available troops are lo
cated on the Rio Grande border. The
movements of small detachments now
for long distances will, in the Items of
transportation and rations, be a very
expensive matter for the government.
Senator Vlumb speaks very highly of
the settlers who have been killed as
men of worth, courage und enterprise,
and fears that the alarm occasioned by
this outbreak will be felt, to the in
jury of the border for twelve mouths.
Senator Plumb suys that the theory
thut a white man can take care of two
Indians is a false oue. He thinks it is
no disgrace to the white race to say
that, if fighting is to be done on horse
back, oue Indian would take care of
two white men. The Indian has been
trained to fight in the saddle. Our
troops have not yet become sufficiently
skilled to shoot from the saddle, and
the only successful Indian fighting is
done by dismounting und taking delib
erate aim. In some of the reports it
has been stated thut the Indians are
better armed than our own troops. The
Indian Office authorities say thut it is
impossible for any Indians to obtain
arms at any of the sutlerships in con
trol of the Indian Bureau, but that there
are practlcaly no restrictions upon tiie
sales or arms by military sutlers, who
sell Indians all (lie arms they want.
