The rafting and running of lum ber from this section is over once more for a brief season at least. It will re quire another good flood to allow all the lumber and timber now in the creek to get to market. There is supposed to be a moon shine whisky distillery located some where near Parker's Landing on the Allegheny river. Detectives are at work to locate the "plant," and cap ture the parties manipulating the same. Geo. Hood and Frank Barr were visiting friends and relatives here last week. Both are employed on the B. N. Y. & P., and on account of the In terstate law's interference with the business of the road were out on a Bevea days "lay off." I The Billingsley Bill passed sec ond reading in the Senate yesterday, without any apparent opposition. It will come up fur final passuge to-day or to morrow, and after some fighting, will most likely pass. That impress ion seems to prevail, at least. The State Normal School atC'lar ion opened fur the first term the Spring term with flattering pros pects. Over one hundred and fifty pupils were enrolled on the first day. Others who had rooms engaged were not present on that day to be enrolled. Dr. Siggins has moved into Chas. Bonner's bouse. Mr. B. has shipped his goods and will soon take up bis aboda in Chicago.

Billy Blum the blacksmith has been poking fun at tho members of the German class. Hilly ought not to dis courage the boys with such long hard sentences just yet. Just wait till they have learned the declension of a few more nouns and the conjugation of a few more verbs and chewed a little mora gum, William, then read up your kaleudar and the boys will match linguistic peunies with you, so there. David L. Kiug, whose trial for the murder of J. C. Davis, at St. Pet ersburg, March 5th last, came off in Clarion, and ended io a verdict yes terday morning of murder in the first degree. Tho verdict causes some ex pressions of surprise, it being gener ally thought that it would be "man slaughter." King will be brought in to court next Saturday to receive his sentence. And of course his counsel will ask f it a new trial. One of our exchaoges in speak ing of the King murder trial in Clar ion last week says: "King was attired in a neat fitting brown suit, which made him look quite handsome, and to say the least was greatly admired by some of the ladies present." No, no, journalistic brother, that is surely a mistake. Instead of "ladies" you should have written "females." La dies do not admire such characters as King, no matter how he may be dressed. Rev. L. L. Luse, a former Erie county clergyman, who was recently taken to Nebraska to answer a charge of perjury, has been acquitted, the jury returninga verdict iu twenty min utes after hearing the evidence. It was developed in the trial that Luse was being prosecuted iu reveDge by a man whom he had jailed at one time for some offense. He will re turn to Erie county and resume his charge as one of the minister of the M. E. Conference. Clarion Jiep.-Ga-zette. "Long John" Weutworth, of Chi cago, is erecting an immense granite monument for himself. When asked the other day what epitaph he would put on it be replied : ''Nothing, not a word. Its going to be just like me, a plain, unsophisticated monument. Then a mau'll come along and say, 'whose monument's that' and some body'll say, 'Weutworth.' Then the man'U say, 'Weutworth? who's Wentworth?' And he'll go and buy a biography of me and remember it. If I had a big inscription on it a man'd say, 'Weotwoftb, humph! Wentworth, eh !' and go on and forget all about it before be got out of the cemetery." fho County Commissioners have posted notices to the effect that they will receive sealed proposals until the Cth of May, for removing the old and putting new plank on the creek bridge at this place. Those intending to bid for the work should bear in mind the date and hand in their proposals ac cordingly. Lieutenant Danenhower, Arctic explorer, shot and killed himself at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Mary land, on Wednesday, April 20th. He was temporarily insane at the time of his suicide. The exposures and pri vations he was subjected to when on the Greely Arctic expedition gave rise to mental troubles from which he suf fered much after his return from the illfated expedition. Our little girl, hardly past baby hood, to us, her mother and myself, very dear, has been taken from us. We speak of death as the common lot; but when its shadow falls across our own threshold, we form acquaintance with a sorrow the most sorrowful, and the light seems to go out of the house hold, and a memory very beautiful but very sad recalls our lass never to be replaced by other joys ot pleas ures no matter how abundant or bright or gladsome. We wouldn't call her back if wo could. We know she is in better hands than ours, though we'd have done all we could for her welfare if she'd been spared to us. But our hearts ache aud the days go round heavily, for this sorrow is the darkest we've ever known. A Tylersburg correspondent of the Clarion Jacksonian gives the fol lowing additional information relative to Alvin Culver, who committed sui cide by hanging, near that place, men tion of which was made in these col umos last week: When found the sui cide bad a silk handkerchief around his neck to which was attached atyiece of tarred rope, which was tied to the limb above. His feet were only about four inches from the ground, and his right band was resting on a fence. Culver's father, who died a number of years ago, was the owner of the Mansion House. His mother died some time before her husband and AI vin Culver was supposed to be the sole heir. An early and unfortunate mar riage of the elder Culver was brought to light and it was shown that he had never been divorced from his first wife, with whom ho never lived. Litiga tiou followed. These facts were proven, and in the natural course of the law, Alvin Culver was declared of illegiti mate birth, the estate went to others and he was left penniless and home less. He was a daily visitor to his parent's graves, no matter how inclem ent the weather. He had a chair placed between the two graves and here he was wont to sit and with his feeble sight endeavor to discern the features of those he loved in their pho tographs. These photographs were found in his pocket when bis 1 iff less body was discovered. Grand Entertainment.

Nebraska looked quite out of place for a few days, there were so many raftmeu around waiting on the pond flood. The debate of last Saturday eve ning was no good, there being only two debaters present and they were both on one side of the question. Charlie Klinestiver is better of the measles. We hope to see him around soon. Frank Hunter is able to be around again, but looks very thin. Nebraska always appears to be a healthy place and escapes all the dis eases afloat, but it will not escape the measles this spring as there are several cases in the place at present. April 26. N. Go to Soiearbaugh & Co. 'a for Pautd, Overall. Jacket, Shirts, Slc Arrested for Arson. The following article refers to a for mer well known young man of this place : Monterey, Cal., April 2j. The arrest of Edward T. Simmons iu con nection with the burning of the hotel Del Monte did not cause surprise to the people of Monterey, as they have looked to his arrest for several days past. He was yesterday brought down from San Jose. Ho was taken before Judge Westfall and informed of the charge pending against him. Mr. Simmons stated that ho desired until to day for a preliminary hearing at which time his counsel would bo ready to procred. Tho evidence against Simmons, is said to be very strong, All circumstances point to the probability that the whole matter had been thought out by the person to make a success of the scheme. The man who set fire to the Hotel Del Monte did bo with the intention of making a clean sweep and fully suc ceeded. What evidence tho officers have of his guilt is not known, but it is said by Chief Brown that they have eye witnesses who will testify they saw Simmons walk away from the di rection of the fire a few minutes bo fore the flames were discovered ; also that when it was found that the books were uninjured by the fire, au investi gation was made, aud it was dicover ed that Simmons was $4,000 short in his accounts. Another statement is that at the time of the fire, when eve ry one was doing all they could to save lives and property, Simmons was walking around with his bands io his pockets, and when requested to lend assistance, replied: 'I have nothing more to do with this place.' The Oil City Derrick of Tuesday gives the following brief sketch of Simmons' career in this section: The Hotel Del Monte was a very popular resort. At the time of the fire Captain J. J. Vandergrift and Mr J. J. Vandergrift, Jr., formerly of this city, were stopping there, but es caped unharmed. Simmones, who is charged with arson, was once well known in this city. When he eame here he secured employment as book keeper io a wholesale grocery house. About 12 years ago he was employed as bookkeeper in the Oil City savings bank and in keepiug the general anJ individual books he often had access to the counter. He falsified his en tries to such au extent that when he weut away on a vacation, Mr. Steph ens found that be wes embezzler in the sum of 86,200. It was also learned that he had defrauded a local building and loan association, of which be was treasurer, out of $5,000. Simmons had gone to San Francisco by sailing vessel, bnt the bank, at an expenee of $500, sent Officer Tom Furlong after him. Furlong brought Simmons back to Oil City aud the prisoner was tried, convicted and sen tenced to the Western penitentary for a year and uine months. The back had recovered half their loss from Simmons' bondsmen. While in pris on his wife applied for a divorce, which was grauted. When Simmons was released he went to the eastern part of the state and married the daughter of an editor of a paper. Then he and bis wife went to Califor nia. The proprietor of the Hotel Del Monte knew of his Pcansylvania ca reer when he employed him as mana ger. Stow Post Meeting.
