Thursday, July 1, 1S"0, William
Derby of this place, while working
on some repairs to Grant fc Horton's
tannery, received injuries which at
first it was feared would prove fatal
A small circular saw was put in tem
porary in the tannery to dress out
lumber to be used in making the re
pairs. At this saw Mr. Derby was
working fitting up a 2x4 piece of luin
about two feet in length. This piece
Hew from the saw and coming back
with terrific force struck him in th
head knocking him down The skull
was fractured and the right eye in
jured severely. The evening of the
accident he was removed to the resi
dence of his.fathcr Edward Derby on
Main street. After being confined to
the house for just one week Will could
stand it no longer and not without
great effort walked out and up to the
barber shop for a shave. Since then
he has been out more or less every
day, and now it is believed he will
fully recover although the sight of his
eye may be weak for a lot:' time. A
terrible scar will always remain as a
reminder of this unfortunate accident.
At about one o'clock A.M.Tuesday,
July 0th, John Fannin, Jr.,of this vil
lage was seriously injured on the rail
road track a few rods west of the iron
bridge across Elk creek. He was go
ing home, his home being near the
track aud but a few rods west of where
the accident occurred, and had set
down on the railroad when he was
startled by the approach of an east
bound freight train. He attempted to
get off the track when he fell face
downward between the rails, and the
engine and upward of thirty freight
cars passed over him, as he lay in the
cinders. The engineer noticed the
man on the track and as soon as possi
ble stopped the train and went for
help. Mr. Jackson, proprietor of the
Ridgway House, Win. Sweet a
boarder there.Al. Brown, and auother
man went to the injured man's assis
tance. Doctors Hartley and Williams
were summoned and dressed the nam's
wounds. A severe cut was made
across one eye, while three fingers of
the left hand, which lay on the rail,
were missing. His wife heard the
screams of her husband, as she sal
watching his coming. At present
he is in a ij.'r way of recovery, being
strong enough to set up in a chair. It
is seldom that a man goes through the
experience Mr. Fannin has and lives
to tell the story. We consider this
one ofHhe most remarkable escapes on
record.
A Ridgway Ramble.
AN ERIE GENTLEMAN OF KEEN OBSER
VATION TELLS WHAT HE NOTICED
IN A VISIT TO THE LITTIiH TOWN.
(Erie Dlapntch.)
Having a little business matter to at
tend to. I took occasion to visit the
town of Ridgway, Elk county, a few
days and after spending the day there,
I returned satisfied that a prettier
town or a more hospitable people
could not be found.
Ridgway is situated 123 miles from
Erie, on the Clarion River, is the
county seat of Elk county, and con
tains about 2,000 inhabitants. The
new court house which is nearly com
pleted will cost $7-3,000 and is indeed a
splendid structure, and when finished
will add greatly to the Rppearance of
the town. There is also several very
fine and costly private dwellings,
among which can be mentioned the
elegant, residence of Jerome Powell,
Horace Little, Mr. Schoening, Mr.
Osterhout, Mr. Hyde, Dr Enrley and
many others. My attention was
called to the former residence of our
citizen Judge Souther, who made
Ridgway his home for many years.
Mr. Powell has been a resident of the
town for nearly 40 years. He was the
founder and editor of the Elk County
Advocate for nearly half a century. It
was a successful, popular, spicy sheet.
There are two weekly papers published
in the town at present, both doing
well. Ridgway has the motive power
necessary to build and keep up a town
namely, capital. Few places of its
size can boast of a millionaire,but Mr.
Hyde is reported to be worth ut least
$1,000,000, and although nearly 70
years of age, is still vigorous and en
gaged in active business. He was the
builder of the Hyde House, and lie
and ills son have at present n monster
store in full blast, which would do
credit to a much larger town. He is
also owner of a great amount of real
estate in thus and other regions. There
are several other wealthy men engaged
in business there. Among them is
the firm of Powell & Kimo.who keep
a general assortment of all kind of
goods, and are very heavy lumber
dealers. In addition to all of this the
tanning business alone in Ridgway is
quite sufficient to keep up a good
sized town, and as the hemlock barks
are almost incxhaustable, it is bound
to be a permanent and lasting invest
ment. I was greatly surprised to find
so much good farming land abut this
town. On the road running from
Ridgway to Warren, six miles from
town, I passed a beautiful farm con
taining eleven hundred acres, four
hundred cleared and not a stump left
on it, board fen 'e and shade frees the
whole length on the road and in one
orchard I saw two thousand line apple
trees. The farm is quite level ; it is
owned ly the Wilcox Tanning Com
pany, and is called Montmorency,
it is certainly a beautiful farm.
The people here have one of the
greatest luxrrics that can be given to
man; and that is pure cold spring
water in abundance, brought from the
surrounding hills into the dwellings
and fountains in the yards, the pres
sure being sufficient to carrry it to any
part of the houses.
To get a good view of Ridway one
wants to go to the hills west of the
town and there you have a real bird's
eye view of a lovely village nestling
among the, green hills, while the gentle
Clarion is rolling quietly o(h feet be
low. The cemetery is situated on one
of these hills overlooking the town
and is a well selected quiet resting
place, where sleep the silent dead.
in addition to all the other attrac
tions about this region, by driving out
ten miles from Ridgway, those who
delight in trout fishing can have all
thesportthey desire, as the streams
that flow from town are full of the
speckled beauties. Taking it all
together I know of no place that I
would as soon choose for a good visit
and a day's sport as I would this ro
mantic town of Ridgway. s.

Some day ago While looking over
aud examining certain documents of
our church, I happenedrto get a paper
Into my hands which M as peculiar In
its nature from all the others. The
handwriting I at once recognized as
that of Mr. Breneman, though per
sonally not acquainted with him I am
acquainted with his hand-writing
through other documents. This paper
gives a short sketch of the historv of
our church in this place,the cause and
occasion of its origin and some of
the principal features 'connected with
the building of the. edifice, corner
stone laying, dedication, etc. It is of
so recent date that it will not interest
many persons of this place, as many
no doubt were eye-witnesses of nearly
everything transpiring publicly re
corded in it. I will therefore not give
the contents of the entire document,
but only make mention of some facts
recorded in it. This manuscript is of
no small importance to our church,
since it appears through negligence
there never was a rcguler record kept
of the proceedings of the church coun
cil and the doings of the congregation.
There are contained in it several items
in a few words, which give informa
tion on such subjects as I have In vain
been endeavoring to get information
on. Therefore, Father Breneman,
though he may have had some faults,
was yet very thoughtful in supposing
such a record might some day be very
desirable.
It is almo-t ten years since the first
effort was myde toorganizea Lutheran
congregation at tl.is place. The main
cause for organizing such a congrega
tion was to provide for and fake care
of the spiritual wants of the many
Germans that had already come
and were still coming to this
place. But it W.h at once found
that the children of these people were
fast becoming anglicized, and that
they might not bo lost to the church
it was found necessary also to have
services in the English language.
There were at the very first but four
families who took an nctive Interest in
the cause. They were the families of
Geo. Walker, (now removed to other
parts), Philip Lesser,Arnold Bruegger
and Caspar Bruegger (now known ns
Caspar Brueggar No. 1). Regular
services were held every two weeks in
both languages in the old court house
(now moved to Main street below Mill
street and converted into an hotel)
where all the protectant congregations
then worshiped but one, Episcopal.
Others connected themselves with the
Lutheran organization, so that in less
than a year the number of families
had more than doubled, mid at a com
munion held in the course of that
year, twenty-five communed. The
movement continued on favorably,
and by the spring of 1S73 the organ
ization felt strong enough to b.iild an
edifice of its own wherein it' might
woishlp the triune God. Conse
quently it was resolved" to erect such
a building, and the congregation
having received assistance and en
couragement from outside parties, the
building was completed and dedicated
in October of the same year. Every
thing appeared to move on quite favor
ably until 187-3. At least there are no
records to show that there was any
disturbance or that anything of spe
cial importance occurred. The debts
on the church by this time were nearly
ultpaid. In October of this year the
house ami lot on the west side of the
church were bought. This was done
mostly on the responsibility of the
then pastor, who appears to have done
most of the business himself and to
have given his own security. The
congregation as a wholedid not appear
to have known much about the whole
n flair, nor does it seemed to have cared
much. As n natural consequence
it never took much Interest in this
debt until within the last year, when
matters were laid before it and ex
plained. For auother yti-r or so noth
ing of special importance occurred.
But after that it appears that a dark
cloud was appearing on the horizon
which brought with it a fearful storm
almost demolishing the entire fabric.
As in almost nil storms people lose
their presence of mind and all becomes
confusion, so it was here. During
this entire period of jarring not a
single record is to be found of any of
the proceedings among all the papers
of tho congregation. Much as this
may bo lamented, it is yet perhaps
the best, as no blame can witli cer
tainty be put on any party. Much is
said about it by different parties, and
from all appearances, all are perhaps
somewhat to blame. But what is
better than all this is that the storm
has passed, all is calm, and the sun is
shining ugain. The congregation
numbers now more than ten times the
number of families with which it be
gan ; taking into consideration the
distance many of our members reside
from the church the services aro well
attended, for many must come on foot
no less than four, six, and even ten
miles. The Sunday School is increas
ing in number and in interest. I
think without mistake the congrga
tion is the largest in number of any
of the protestant congregations in
town, and its Sunday school has fair
promise to become equal in number
to any of the others. There is how
ever one feature" about our congre
gation which is not so brilliant in the
eyes of the world and that is that we
arc all poor, this we cannot deny nor
are we ashamed to confess it. Yet
this much I think must be allowed
that nearly all our members are In
dustrious and are striving, though
often under ' difficulties to obtuin
homes. And this will be allowed too
I think, that they nearly all strive to
do it fairly and bouorable. In fact
such is the confidence put in them
that one quite prominent business
' man, who Is not a member of our con
gregation, has himself told me, that
he would not he afraid to trust any-
thing reasonable to any of them but
one. I was sorry for this one yet was
somewhat pleased with the good repu
tation of the others. Toor we arc, but
the rich are as much dependent upon
the labors of the poor as the poor are u p
on the rich for a living. Therefore each
should use the other and work in the
interest of the other as sound reason
suggests and the commands of God
exhort. Poor we are, but many a poor
man has become rich and many a rich
man become poor. Poor we are, but
to the poor the gospel shall be
preached ; and "Hath not God chosen
the poor of this world rich in faith,
and heirs of the kingdom which he
hath pronounced to them that love
him?" And when, we read, "How
hard is it for them that trust in riches
to enter Into the kingdom of God,"
one may also think there is a good
side in being poor.
We dare here also not neglect to
make mention of and express onr
gratitude to many outside of our con
gregation for the favors, encourage
ments and even financial benefits we
have receive.! from them. And to
our creditors we would say "have
patience, my Lord, and wo will pay
you all." Wo have paid some debt
during the past year we expect to pay
more soon. We are sorry that those
who were in former years attached to
us have withdrawn on account of the
confusion no doubt which then pre
vailed for a time, and have connected
themselves witli other bodies. Such
as keep in view christian doctrines
and principles ubove mere external
organizations I doubt whether they
could conscientiously have done so,
but if such persons feel nt home in the
organizations with which they are
connected we do not wish to pursuade
them from it nor make them feel un
easy. At any time when any of our
friends wish to worship with us they
are perfectly welcome, and in fact we
are glad to see them come. But when
they do come they must not expect to
find a gorgeous edifice with luxurious
pews; nor a great pulpit orator swing
ing back and forth on hinges, nor
even a fashionable choir which amuses
rather than promotes true devotion
(although I wish to say nothing dis
paragingly concerning a good choir
singing suitable pieces of music), but
they will lind everything plain, sim
ple and we hope much that is truly
devotional. Pastok.
