Sunday all the men and boys were
sitting on the platforms in front of the

earning their wages.

The advent of spring uncovers and
shows up to good advantage the un
sightly piles of ashes and rubbi.th heaps
that have accumulated during the
winter. The snow is like charity
while one covers a multitude of sins
the other covers a multitude of abom
inations The moral of this short
story is that you should embrace the
first opportunity to remove all the un
sightly and unhealthy objects of which
we speak.
Michael Kelly, a nephew of Mrs.
Thos. McTigue, of this place, has been
visiting at his aunt's house since about
the time Thos. McTigue died. Last
Monday he helped himself to (200,00
belonging to the widow, and took mail
west at 2:33. The loss was not discov
ered until some time in the evening,
when Sheriff Oyster was informed of
the robbery, and at once telegraphed a
description ofthethief to Warren, Erie,
and Buffalo. Tuesday morning the
Sheriff received a telegram from the

Walter Rickard, aged about 13
years, youngest son of Jas. Rickard,
was seriously injured at the landing
opposite Eagle Valley mill, on Satur
day last. He and his father were
hauling a stick of timber cut from Jas.
Gardner's big pine of which we speak
in an other place. The sled had upset
once, by which mishap the father
received several bruises. Again as the
sled -neared the landing it struck
skid, .throwing young Rickard
to the ground with the sled and
heavy stick of timber on top of him.
His feet were sticking out on one side
and his head on the other, the snow in
which he sunk saving his body from
L . i i i x !..!.. rnu ! I-
was raised from the prostrate boy, but,
before he could be rescued from his
perilous situation, the hold of the men
slipped and again the heavy timber
covered him. The next effort at
rescue was successful, and the bruised
boy was taken home. Dr. Bordwell
was sent for and bound up the wounds.
The boy's nose was broken, which
seemed to be the only broken bone,
and the only thing feared was from
possible internal rupture. At last ac
counts he was recovering as rapidly as
possible. Since the above was iu tyye
we are informed that the upper end of
the stick rested on a ridge of Ice, while
the boy Instead of landing in snow
was thrown on the icy road. Those
present say the space, between the
ground and the timber, in which he
lay, did not exceed six inches.

and that the structures will be sub

We are told that the flesh is falling
from her bones, and the poor woman
suffers untold agonies. All hope of
her recovery Is given up. She re

the time. There is certainly no pun
ishment too severe for such hellish
work. BU Mary's Gate tie.
The Little Folks Concert.
The concerts given at the Opera
House on Saturday and Monday even
ings by the little folks, under Ibe di
rection of their teacher, E. V Hcelsche,
were moderately well attended, and
well worth the price of admission.
When we consider that the class have
been organized but little more than
a week the success of the exhibi
tion is all the more wonderful. While
we are disinclined to praise one above
another where all did well, yet we can
not refrain from naming a few as de
serving more than ordinary notice.
"Popping the Question," by Gus.
Woodward and Mamie Bchrenlng elic
ited, as It well deserved, the applause
of the audience; Mamie's lisping voice
adding a charm to her really excellent
singing. " The Prima Donna and her
Cavalier," by Lola Hartley and Carol
McAfee, was a neat little performance,
the young cavalier acquitting himself
nobly and the little Miss singing in
sweetest strains. "Milkmaid and
Dandy," by Clarice Bordwell and
Willie Sehram was excellently ren
dered, the dandy being hard to beat,
while the singing and acting of the
milkmaid was all that could be de
sired. " Prayer Granted," in which
Mattle Healy sang the solo, was as
nearly perfect as such short practice
could make it. " Duet from HoBlsche's
German Opera, Baron Elder,' " by
Prof. Hoplsche and Katie Gresh, was
good In all respects, Miss Gresh's sing
ing and gestures being very creditable.
"Folks that Put on Airs," by Gus.
Woodward, would have done credit to
a professional. "When Ye Gang
Awa, Jamie, by Nellie Jockson and
Willie Sehram, is worthy of great
praise, and the encores of the audience
attested to the appreciation in which
it was held; Miss Jackson is certainly
gifted with as sweet and beautiful a
voice as it Is easy to conceive, and
with proper training she will yet be a
singer among thesingers, while Master
Sehram deserves great credit for the
excellent manner in which he carried
his part; to our way of thinking this
little song was the sweetest, neatest
and best rendered of all, and if no
other piece had been given we would
have been well satisfied that the price
of admission was well expended.
"Scene from the Brigand Pardon,
Forgive," in this Mrs. Fullerton did
herself great credit, and showed that
singing with her is a talent that could,
with proper training, reach high
grounds; It was excellently rendered,
and stamps this lady as one of our best
singers and Ridgway can boust of
many ladies who are singers of no
mean degree. " The Months and 29th
of February," twelve girls and a boy,
was a neat little song and chorus in
which the acting and singing was very
good. " Lady of Beauty," on Monday
night, did not seem toamountto much
at first, but the wind up was heurt
rending. Prof. Hcelsche in the "Mul
ligan Guards" (an instrumental piece)
suited the audience and demonstrated
that he is a master of the piano. In
his "Bonnie Annie Laura" the
audience were convulsed. Not wishing
to be too extravagant in our meed of
praise we will say that nothing in
Ridgway, for many a day lias given
more general satisfaction on such short
notice. In a few weeks the adult class
will give an entertainment, which
we are satisfied will be au abundant
success.
Thecommissioners having in hand
the erection of the new Middle district
penitentiary, at Huntingdon, met at
the Girard House yesterday to award
the contract for building the reservoir
and laying water pipe. They were in
session from eleven o'clock in the
morning till eight in the evening.
There were forty-three bids altogether.
They ranged from $5,165 to $20,000.
The contractors bidding were from all
parts of the state, Philadelphia, Pitts
burg, Harrisburg, Huntingdon, Potts
ville, Reading, Lock Haven, Columbia,
and Lancaster. From Philadelphia
and Pittsburg the principal number
came. A Philadelphia firm, Samuel
H. Collon Sc Co., got the contract,
their bid being the lowest $5,165.
This bid was rather a surprise to the
commission, as they did not expect
the work could be done for that price,
and some are still of the opinion
that the contractors cannot make any
thingoutof thecontract. The security
required must be equal to the full
amount of the bid. The reservoir must
be large enough to contain 060,000
gallons of water. The amount of iron
pipe to be laid Is 3,300 feet, eight-inch
size. AU the members of the commis
sion were present yesterday. Charles
Thomson Jones presided. Williams

The new Presbyterian Chapel,
over Messenger's drug store, was
formally opened on Sunday last. The
day was all that could well be desired.
Morning and evening the Chapel was
filled to its utmost capacity. The
number that can be comfortably seated
in this new place of worship is about
250, and more can be accommodated
by placing chairs in the aisles. The
seats are easy and the room tastefully
arranged. The carpenter work was
done by Messrs. Jackson & Bowers,
and the kalsomining and painting by
W. S, McVey. By day the large
windows on either side and at the
end of the room let in a flood of light.
By night two large chandeliers make
It as light as day. The doors at the
top of the stairs are hung with double
acting hinges, so that in case of fire
the Chapel can speedily be vacated
without danger to the audience. The
windows are adorned with neat curtins
which help to give a home-like appear
ance to the room. The Presbyterians
can certainly congratulate themselves
on having an attractive and beautiful
place of worship.

. Proposed Railroad Extensions.
From the BrookVUle Republican.
We clip the following from the Pitts
burgh Commercial Gazette of last
Thursday, from whloh It appears
that an effort Is being made to have
the Foxburg, St. Petersburg and
Clarion Narrow Gauge Railroad ex
tended through to the Bradford oil
district. 'During the past few weeks
we have heard many reports concern
ing the location of the road, some of
our citizens who claimed to be posted
in the matter asserting that Brookville
was to be taken In on the mute. It
will appear from this extract that we
are a little "off the belt," a line
through Forest county being proposed:
"A project is on foot to extend the
narrow gauge railroad from Foxburg
to Parker, and thence to Hilliard Mills,
to connect With the Shenango Valley
road, and eventually connect with the
Pittsburgh, New Castle & Lake Erie
road which will give a continuous line
of narrow gague from this city to the
northern oil fields. A controlling in
terest in the Emlenton, Shlppenvllle
& Clarion road has been purchased by
the Foxburgh, St Petersburgh &
Clarion Rail Road Company, and the
two roads will hereafter be run by the
latter company. The line will soon be
extended through Forest county to
McKean. $50,000 of the $100,000 re
quired having been subscribed by Mrs.
Mary Fox, and the remainder will
probably be taken by Phyladelphla
parties who are Interested In oil and
lumber lands lying between Clarion
and McKean1"
They seem to have the railroad fever
in other portions of our country, as
would appear from the following taken
from the Du Boise City Courier: "A
continually recurring period of rail
road fever is a fixed principle of every
town in the country, Du Bols included,
and just now the town Is suffering
from its favorite malady. It is asserted
and not without grounds, that a rail
road will be built through this valley
in the near future. The cause for
accepting the theory Is based upon the
Erie road and a few less important
companies. Some of the leading men
of these companies have purchased
large quantities of coal lands in Elk
and Jefferson counties, and In order to
get out the coal a road must be built to
some accessible point in Toby valley.
But two practical routes have presented
themselves ; the one is down the
Clarion River from Ridgway to the
mouth of Toby, following the stream
to the coal beds at Its source. The
other route is by Falls creek or Du
Bois, crossing the summit of the
mountain near the line of Lane's board
road, and down the Rattlesnake branch
to Brockwayville, which is one of the
objective points. Now a still more
feasible plan, It is argued, will be to
construct a continuous route from
Ridgway, or some other point on the
P. & E. road, by way of the Clarion
to intersect the Low Grade at or above
Du Bois City. From that an exten
sion would lu all probability be made
to open the coal fields of Punxsu
tawney, which are among the best in
the State "
The division of Renovo into
wards, makes but a few trifling
changes in our former rules of govern
ment. Each ward is made a separate
election district. The burgess, assist
ant burgess, justice of the peace,
auditors, high constable and school
directors will be elected by the con
current votes of the two wards. Each
ward will be entitled to three members
of council, a constable and an assessor.
Those in office remain until the ex
piration of the terms for which they
have been elected. The law also
provides that on the first Friday after
each borough election held in boroughs
divided, the judges of election of the
various wards shall meet at the place
of meeting of the town council, at 9
o'clock a. m., and canvass the votes
cast for officers elected by the concur
rent votes of the various wards, and
declare the result of such election, and
grant certificates to the persons elected.

Lucy Ann. Ordway, aged 17 years,
died last Saturday, 1st Inst, at the res
idence of J. C. Chandler, on North
Creek, in Shippeu township. Miss
Ordway had been Working at Mr.
Chandler's about two weeks, and
during most of the time had been feel
ing quite unwell. Thursday night
deceased was taken ill with a pain
in her head and sickness at the
stomach. Her sickness continued un
til her death although there was
nothing alarming in her symptoms,
and she was able tobe about the house
a portion of the time.-; Saturday morn
ing she got up and ate her breakfast,
and afterwards laid down upon the
lounge and went to sleep. About 8
o'clock, while the family were at break
fast, deceased's little sister went Into
the room, and found Miss Ordway in a
spasm; she called the family, and
they found her apparently dying
She continued unconscious most of
the time untill 8 o'clock, Saturday
afternoon, when she died. Dr. Heil
man was sent for but did not arrive
until after her death. Before death,
some red spots appeared on her face
and arms, and remained until her
burial, giving her such a fresh and
life-like appearance that many of her
friends and neighbors did not believe
she was dead. Dr. Freeman, of
bmethport, was sent for, and inter
ment delayed until Tuesday afternoon.
When Dr. Freeman arrived unmis
takable evidence of death had devel
oped, but the life-like appearance re
mained the deceased being to all ap
pearance in a sweet sleep her face
flushed, the color of ears and lips as
fresh as in life. The funeral took place
I uesday afternoon. Cameron iYe.

Killed by a Tree. Uriah Guss,
a farmer, ' living on Tuscarora creek,
two miles west of Port Royal, Juniata
county, was klliedon the 33d ult.,
under peculiar circumstances. A
large oak, with great spreading
branches, standing on the edge of the
creek, on a bank fifteen feet high, had
been cut down the day previous. His
son was hauling home these branches
for fire-wood, while he was trimming
up the top of the tree. There was a
large limb on the lower side and a
smaller snag on the upper side on
which it rested, keeping the top of the
tree up in the air tde trunk thirty
feet from the stump being six or eight
feet from the ground. This top no
doubt seemed to him to rest securely.
He cut a small limb that proved to be
the last prop of the lower large limb
and the whole trunk turned around
suddenly bringing the heavy limbs of
themain trunk sweepingdown towards
the stream. He ran from this when
observed, Bhaplng his course in order
to avoid a brush heap that had accum
ulated. Yet this was the fatal spot.
At a distance of eighteen feet a heavy
limb came down upon him, crushing
him to the Ice, for he was now on the
creek. His ribs were crushed In, the
back broken, as were also his leg and
arm. The whole body was crushed
In a heap. The son so found him on
his return, after fifteen minutes it
being only three hundred yards from
the house. The lad cut off the limb
but life was goue. Though so crushed
yet there was no outside flesh wound.
Uriah Guss was a farmer, in good
circumstances. He had been a carpen
ter by trade, exceedingly ingenious as
a mechanic, had been an expert axman
and had cut thousands of trees In his
day. He was fifty-eight years old, and
leaves a family of twelve children,
half of whom are married. He was
a brother of Prof. A. L. Guss, of this
borough. Huntingdon Globe.
A movement is on foot at Harris
burg to secure an intelligent reform in
the laws of Pennsylvania relating to
the collection of debts. Since the
repeal of the national bankrupt act,
Pennsylvania, like the other states of
the Union, has been compelled to
rely on the local insolvent laws that
happened to be in force. In the
abseuce of a general bankrupt law the
State laws at once take effect. In
respect to its laws for the collection of
debts, Pennsylvania is, perhaps,
worse off than any of the other States.
In this State to day there is practically
no method by which the creditor can
collect his debts without great litiga
tion if the debtor desires and endeavors
to avoid payment. The Insolvent laws
now on the statute book are in all
essential respects the same as were In
existance 100 years ago. In other
directions the laws have been reformed
and improved as defects have been
revealed in the light of experience,
but it still continues to be impossible
for a creditor to obtain any degree of
justice in the Courts of Pennsylvania
if his debtor is inclined to interpose
obnt motions. As it is now, no mode
of procedure exists whereby a debtor
can be compelled to disclose the true
condition of his affuirs, and it is Im
possible to prevent preferences on the
part of the debtors in the disposal of
their property. l'hila. Record.
The Democrats of North Carolina
went into office as the party of "re
trenchment and reform." But the
annual ordinary expenses of the last
Republican administration were $102,
060 ; while those of the next succeeding
Democratic administration were $110,
220 in one year, and $104,833 in another.
Whereat the real reformers of that
party arn very indignant; but the
regulars listen to their complaints and
smile.
