KERSEY IN THE REAR.
Editor Advocate: "Nemo" Is a
noble fellow, and as full of fight as a
moquito; being much larger it takes
a good deal more of it to till him of
course. He makes up in majesty for
what lie lacks in beauty, ami the
rather doubtful squint of his eager
eye llnds compensation in the infernal
gossip in the columtu of the Demo
crat. He is built something like a
polly wog his mouth being the biggest
part of the establishment, and it opens
like a tobacco box all the way around,
lie is nil her gruff in his ways, and
positive in his disposition, and his
politeness is scarcely worth betting
on unless yon have a counterfeit bill
that you want o lose and cannot gi .'e
away. He will never die a natural
death; and I think the man who
says he will ought to be a newspaper
reporter, or a Congressman at least;
such talent as his should certainly not
be wasted. He lias as good an appe
tite for gossip as a bull dog has for
meat. If he was analyzed lie would
pan out about as follow: 33 pounds
of crublietiness, 50 pound of deceit ful
ness and about twice as much gass.
A cussoucter has always broken
before registering the full amount of
pure eusftiilucss he contains, and a
skillful inventor milit maUea fortune
ty utilizing his gas for burning pur
poses. He is universally respected
but seldom loved; except when lie is
converted into a lady's walking stick,
in short he is a thunder storm
mounted on two legs, uncertain in his
movements certain in his conclusions)
and rapid in bringing anything to a
head. When I rind any more facts
lying around loose about him I will
gather them up and send them in for
publication. (Now Bart shoot your

Elk Creek Steam Saw Mill.
Visiting, and, through the kindness
of Frank C. Ely, Inspecting on Fri
day last the new. steam and water
mill of B F. Ely, for the express pur
pose of laying the facts In regard to
this enterprise before The Advocate
readers, and in furtherance of the plan
suggested already In these columns to
lay before them the main points con
nected with the lumbering Interests of
the Clarion river In tills vicinity we
gleam the following facts.
The Ely mill Is situated on Elk
creek perhaps half a mile ea9t of the
Ridgway Borough limits and about a
mile from the confluence of that
Btreain with the Clarion river Just
above the long iron bridge at the foot
of Main Htreet. So that definitely
speaking this mill Is not on the Clar
ion river, neither Is the lumber floated
down that stream. The lumber is
f biped from a wl.arflng erected on the
P. & E. It. It. which road runs near
the mill making the cost of handling
the lumber very low, and affords great
facilities for rapidly filling orders.
The power of the mill is furnished
by a 75 II. P. engine made by Strnth
ers, Wells & Co. Warren, Pa., pro
vided with a Gardner patent gover
nor; the mill shaft is ft inches in di
ameter, the drive wheel 7 feet. Two
2-flue boilers 44 inches in diameter
and twenty feet long, furnish the
steam; the fuel used being the saw
dust direct from the saw which Josenh
De Voir, fireman, was feeding to the
flames with a shovel about as fust as
he coul I handle it. About 80 pounds
of steam to the square inch is cirried
when the mill is running. The steam
power was put in last fall, being ready
to run about the middle of November
18). They also have a Lclller tur
bine water wheel of Ci.7 H. P. w;th a
9 foot head The mill can be run
with either power, the work of chang
ing only requiring fifteen to twenty
minutes, time. The circular saw,
gang-edger, two cut-off saws, and log
Jacker, ami glimmer, comprises the
machinery working at present. A
latii mill, plainer, and bolter (a ma
chine tt cut slabs to a uniform thick
ness for lath) will be added during
the summer.
Louis Ely was attending the gates
while Constable Cannavati did the
setting of the logs, with the assistance
of Lotus tiiul that powerful niece of
machinery called a log jacker, which
can turn u log with ease that a dozen
men with cant-hooks would not be
enabled to move. Ten men are kept
rushing to remove the 30,003 feet of
lumber which the mill turns out in n
day, besides a number of men in the
yard kept busy assorting and piling
the lumber to season for shipment.
The lumber is generally well seasoned
before being shipped. At the present
writing 1,000,(m)0 feet of lumber is
piled in the yard whil.e the merry saw
is converting logs into hoards and bill
stuff at the rate .above named.
The property Is owned by It. V. Ely
who furnishes the stock, which Ely
Bros., F. C. Ely, and Louis Ely, saw,
pile, and ship. Ely Bros, are also
sawing a large stock of hemlock logs
on a contract with W. H. Osterhout.
The Ely andOsteihout logsare thrown
promiscuously into the stream, and
come to the saw first one kind then
another, and great care is necessary to
keep the lumber separated, by reason
of which considerable time is lost each
day.
Figuring from the number of cords
of hark peeled they have o,0(X),0d0 feet
of hemlock Block (used in this con
nection stock would mean a Niiliicient
quantity of logs to give when sawed
the number of feet indicated counted
at board measure) I'.OOO.OOO feet has
been sawed. Besides this they have
ciio.inH.1 leet oi pine stocK anil some
other kinds as cueumber.ehestnut.ash,
cherry, etc.
The F.Ik Creek mill will be when
fully equipped one of the most com
plete in this section, and under the
personal supervision of that veteran
lumberman Mr B. F. Ely, and with
the stirring business capacity of Ely
Bros., will turn out Its full quota of
lumber.
Ayer's Hair Vigor ret-tores the
color and stimulates the growth of the
hair, prevents it from falling off, and
greatly increases its beauty. It has a
delicate and lasting perfume, its in
gredients are harmless, and for the
toilet it is unequalled.

Qas Explosion at Stoneham.
(Warren Ledger.)
Saturday morning of last week the
drillers were working at the No. 4
Hurlzel d Nesmith well, Baltiensper-
irer farm. Stoneham district. The
boiler was situated about sixty feet
from the derrick, but nevertheless,
the gus from the well came up with
such force as to fill the space between
the derrick and engine house, and
there was an explosion, which was
heard in Warren, six miles away.
Andrew Brown and John Rieg were
in the derrick, Calvin Brown was
outside, and JatiK-s Brown had started
for the engine house, when the ex
plosion took place, The engine house
was demolished, and the air a sheet of
flame. James Brown's clothing was
on tire, and Calvin ran to him and
succeeded in extinguishing the flames,
being himself badly burned in the act.
Andrew Brown and John Rieg, in
the engine house, were on fire. They
were drawn from the fiery furnace by
the aid of Boon MaGee. The young
men were taken tu the house of Mr.
MaGee, where they had the best of
care. Dr. R. B. Stewart, of Warren,
was telephoned to go over, and assisted
by Dr. Heath, of Clarendon, their
wounds were dressed. But they pre
sented a painful appearance, ami
many of their acquaintances and
friends who looked upon them turned
away faint and sick at the dreadful
sight. For two or three days it was
not expected that James Brown and
John Rieg would survive. John Reig
being a married man, his wife was
soon in attendance, ami he greet ed her
in a jocular man tier. At this writing,
Thursday, the men are all doing well
ami it is expected thai they will re
cover. The Browns are brothers and
their home Is in Glade. They are en
terprising, industrious men, and de
servo a better fate, it would seem
John Rieg is a good citizen also. The
community was shocked at the news,
and all sympathized witli them and
their relatives. It is a irreat renef to
tie able to stale that they are all ap
parently in a lair way of recovery
l'nis is the first of great accidents
that are liable to lake place in tile

the last.

It now seems to be definitely set

railroad route from New York to Chi

araagemeiits are said to be completed
by which his cars ar to pass over the
Philadelphia and Erie road to Drift
wood, and thence over tiie Low Grade
to Heilb.ink, where the Allegheny
river will be bridged and a new road
constructed from Uedbank to Youngs
town, Ohio, a distance of seventy-two
miles.where connections will be made
direct for Chicago. This arrangmcnt
will necessitate the laying of a double
track on the Low Grade road, which
we understand will shortly be com
menced. This will not be a heavy
job, as all the bridges and tunnels and
heavy work was intended for a double
track when the road was built The
work on the extension of the line
from Redbank to Ycungstowu will be
commenced at an early day, and
pushed forward with all dispatch.
