Repeal of Charter of S. I. C On
, - to Buffalo.
The followiug telegrams wens panted
on the bulletin board of the Oil Ex
change last evening, and speak for
themselves:
IlARRtsnrRO, March 29.
To 13. O. Patterson, Titusville:
Bill repealing the Charter of 6011th
Improvement Co., has just passed the
House of Representatives.
J. D. McJu SKIN.
IIaruisburo, March 20.
To E. O. rettersoti, Titusville:
House bill repealing South Improve
ment Co.'s Charter just passed the
Senate. C. V. Culvkr.
The final step towards the abroga
tion of tli ie infamous charter remains
with the Governor.and the bill will un
doubtedly receive his giguature. But
this is only the cuter ring; the inner
rings for whose bencGt the charter wh.
purchased, still remain intact, and
ready at any moment to seire an op
portunity .01 carrying out their ori'.
nal design. There are ia existence
eleven similar charters, any of which
they can purchase and would answer
their purpose to work under.
The contracts made with the rail
roads ou behalf of the South Improve
ment Company, are so shrouded iu
mystery, that it would be impoossible
to say whether they die with the repeal
of this charter, or whether they will
remain in force for the benefit "of the
Standard Oil Co., and other interested
parties. Let no man flatter himself
that tho battle ii over ; there ii too
much capital invested and ot stake,
und tho enemy will die hard. Not
one barrel of oil should be sold to the
parties who are known to have been
tlirectly or indirectly interested in tho
conspiracy, and every effort should be
made to carry out as speedily as possi
ble the Oil Producers Railroad. The
producers, as a class, must bo con
vine of its necessity, and although !
the Committee on Transportation, w ho
aro to report at Oil City next Wednes
day, arc aid to havo committed them
selves against the road, and will rec
ommend that it be abandoned, we nre
persuaded that the people will not give
it up. Tituevillo has too much at
Make in this project to sui render it for
any consideration. The voice of eve ry

Three laborers on the railroad, near
Heathvillo, Jefferson county, were
Mown up and severely injured last
Thursday. They were putting three
kegs of powder in a blast, one man
pouring in powder from one keg, an
other holding a keg in his arms, and
anot'ior man sitting on the third keg,
when, by some means all exploded.
One of the men was thrown over au
mbankinent about sixty feet striking
a horse iu his descent which was knock
ed down by the force of the full.

tonroe township,
was burned with all its contents. It
was occupied by Mrs. Guthrie, and her
daughters, also by Ilnrvey Pattou,
who farms the place. Mr. Patton was
in the field, and Mrs. Guthrio being
ick, had to be carried out in her bed,
and by the time this was done, the fire
had made such headway, that nothing
could be saved.
On Tuesday of last week a man
named Harry Brown alias Ward, met
Mr. Samuel'Lowry, of Strattonville,
on the road leading from Delo's Eduy
to Archy Burns', in Piney township,
and, knife in hand, demanded his
money. Mr. Lowry was unarmed, and
after parleying awhile gave leg bail,
aud got away eafely. Brown afterwards
utruck David Jones with u slung shot,
atSligo Furnace, and when a consta
blo attempted to arrest him, be flour
ished n knife nud escaped.
Mis. Daniel Walters, of Newman

by a full ou the ice, while coming
down stairs last Tuesday morning, the
liead came off a crutch she was using
und she fell down stairs, severely in
juring her head, shoulders and back.
Oil Tuesday, March 19th, Will

township, met with a painful Occident,
under tho following circumstances:
Mr. Terpe aud eon wero in Clearfield
for a load of goods. As thev were
going down Anderson creek lull, the
liny, who was walking, slipped and fill
between the wheels of the wagon, the
hind wheel passing over him and break
ing one of his legs. The fracture was
properly reduced, and he is getting
well as fast as could be expected.
Clearfield Journal.
Samuel Manross lias started up
11 u old well at the mouth ef Hickory
Creek, although it does not yield large
ly, yet sufficient to pay him for put
ting in a portion of each day.
Mr. John Higgins, of Tidioule, with
some other parties, contemplate put
ting down a well ou the Manross lurm

river. West Hickory Creek has, years

2Stl mentioned the fact that the young
men of that place had formed an
Anti-Corset Association. On tho 20th
it rises to explain, as follows :
We neglected to explain the whereas
w hich led to the formation of the Anti
Corset Association by young men In
this city. The reason givin is that the
wearing of Corsets by a young lady, is
considered by these youi.g men as
a standing insinuation against their
proficiency as squeezisU. They think
themselves able, and know they are
willing, to do nil the hugging Heeded
by a young lady of modcrato require
ments. The long-expected companion to 'Ten
Nights in a Bar Room' is nearly ready,
and will shortly appear. Tho popu
larity and great usefulness or this
standard temperance book is evinced
by the immense sales that has been
made, much greater, it is believed,
than that of any book of its class ever
published. Who has not read this
remarkable book, so true to nature,
so intense in effect, and so terrible iu
its moral, and who that read it has
not wished for a companion. To satisfy
this widely-expressed desire, the au
thor has undertaken and just corunleted
new volume, that unmasks the liquor-
ii 1 1 . t
seiier ana nis accursed trathc in a
way to startle and arouse tho public.
The new book is entitled "Three
Years in a Man Trap.1 It gives an iu
sido view of the liquor trade, and por
trays the terrible effects of that traffic
in a series of life pictures, full of the
intensest interest, with the skill and
fidelity to nature so eminently charac
teristic of the author. Tho book can
not fail to make a strong impression,
and, as a new auxiliary in the cause
temperance, will have a wide ond
powerful influence. Nothing could be
more timely than its appearence now.
We learn, by the publishers' circular,
that it is to be sold exclusively by
gents, and as it is a good opportunity
to secure a book which will sell easily
and at the same time do a vast amount
of good, we advise any one seeking
profitable employment to apply to the
publishers, J. M. Stoddart A Co., No
733 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, for
an agency, and enter into this work of
moral coiportcurage at once.
Fire at TRiCMrn. Yesterday
morning a 350 barrel tank, full of oil,
at the McGinnis well, was discovered
to be on fire. It soon began to pour
out ia denso volumes of smoke and
flame, and it looked at one time as if
a very serious destruction of proper
ty would take place, as a number of
wells are close together there. Had
the tank bursttd.the burning oil would
have poured down in resistless fury on
the wells and tanks of Crossley,
Knight A McClintock, Cook A Du'r
kee, A II. Branson, John Tonkin, jr.,
and others. All, for the time deemed
the fire beyond control, until one brave
fellow', we wih we had his name,
mounted the tank, and then came the
fight. Boards were thrown on, blank
ets and carpeUi oil those, steam turned
on from the boiler, and strange as it
may seem, the fire was subdued. Pre
viously, the oil had bceu turned on to
the pipe, ai.d Tidioulo telegraphed.

Michael Kilderry, a brakemai.

yesterday met with a serious accident
iu the attempt to save himseif from

that the distance was too great, where
upon, to save himself from fulling upon

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
y - ' '
The opresidential year1' Is alwiys a
reading year with the American people.
It Imposes extraordinary duties on jour

ly expect not only the news of tho day,
but intelligent discussion of public qttes
I ions anil enunciation of opinions. While
(his Is (rise in gcuernl kenso (ho year bn

parly is breaking up, and there are inritca

novel lu our politics, 'I'ls? elect ions of the
past year hnvo resulted In almost an un
liroken series of Republican victories,
(icneral Krauts administration has receiv

American people ; and thcro is every In
dication now that, as the Republican can
didate, he will bo re-elo. I oil President. As
an Independent Republican Paper the
Co.MMKiu iAi. will In tho fut lira, as in the
i.ist, render an undeviiiting stipnort to
Republican Princiiiles, holding that tho
good of tho Republic requires that tho
(lovcrnmeid should remain in llio lialids
of the party that sttved l( in the great lile
or death slruggb . In the future as in the
past it will spcjtk its own views regarding

free discussion only can sul'e conelitsious
lie reschod and the lmlopinilcneo of tho

say simply that the Com M Km i a I. v ill be
trite to itself and Us established character.
As a Newps'r, nothing will be spared
to maintain the position which the Com
mkikmai. has always held among tho lead
iitir Journals uf tho day, for now enter
prifas villi as for independent opinions.
This year, at home and abroad, will be
