From a private letter from Mr.
C. M. Russell, at Chebalis, Washing
ton Territory, we learn that their mill
is turning out daily 25,000 to 30,000
feet of dressed lumber, all of which is
sold and used in that place, which is
an evidence that the town is booming
od building up rapidly. All of tbe
Forest county people now ljcated
there are prosperous and happy, their
old friends here will be pleased to
learn.
We see it stated in the press of
the State that the friends of Hon.
Henry Brace, of Warren, are urging
im for the U. S. Marshalship of the
Western district of Penn'a, with the
haoces of his appointment very good
nder the incoming administration.
Mr. Brace has strong backing, and
otbing would please the Republicans
f this section more than to hear that
this Republican war horse had been
thus rewarded for his unceasing labors.

can safely say In the oil producer that
we have the largest stock of merchan

The recent act of congress, pro
viding for an increase of pension on
account of total or partial deafness,
having been approved by the presi
lent, the commissioner of pensions
gave notice to all those now pensioned
for total or partial deafness, that no
formal application will be required to
secure said increase, and tbeiefore no
lawyers' fees need be incurred in " that
way. Notice is given the pensioners
to wiite to the commiesioner giving
name, certificate number, and service
and such cases will be settled at the
earliest moment.
Last Friday evening uames
Cooper, of Balltown, had a little ex
perience with uatural gas, which might
have proved very serious. lie has
fitted ur a ict in his barn, and had
gone there with a lantern, and wliil
attemptioc to either light the gas or
turn it off, tbe stuff began to escape,
aud when gas begius to escape it dou't
take it long to "go off," which it did
in this instance, and blew Mr. Cooper
almost completely out of the barn
lie was quite severely though not se
riouslv burned about the face and
hands. No oiher damage was done
A fow days ago Alex Thompson
and Charley Russell went rabbit-hunt'
ug. They succeeded in "holing" otie
and Russell started for a grub-hoe,
setting his hammerless gun down by a
tree. During his abseuce Alex go
curious about the workings of Rub
sell's gun, the like of which he had
never seen before, and he proceeded to
investigate it. After looking it all
over and wondering where the Bboot
came from, he concluded it wouldn'i
hurt to press the trigger gently. Bang
went the load. Alex looked first a
himself then at the gun to see where
the darned load came from. Then be
very cautiously put the crazy thiug
back where it belonged, and picked up
his own old never failiog muzzle-loader,
when, lol he found, as a reward fo
allowing bis curiosity to get the upper
hand of bim, be bad shot just six
inches of tbe muzzle off tbe cou-twisted
thing. He didn't lament much, bow
ever, as his gun was too long anyway
and it was a . quick and inexpensive
way of getting it cut off; and on th
whole Alex thinks it is about as good
an average shot as he ever made any
how.

OIL NOTES.
There is nothing particularly new
to report from tbe new oil field at Daw
son since our last report, which went
over the field pretty generally. Tbe
Tionesta Oil Co.'s well has settled
own to a good 40 barrel producer,
and is holding right up to that figure.
The same company has a rig under
way, about 400 feet from this well,
nd will be drilling in a few days.
Wolcott, Kelly & Co. have started
rig on the Baird tract about the
same distance northeast of the pro-
ucer.
The Compromise Oil Co., Messrs.
Agnew & Morck, expect to commence
rilling on their Iract early next week.
Tbe location is 50 rods southwest of
tbe producer.
The Harmony Oil Co. has moved to
the head of tbe east branch of Jamie
son Run, abcut one mile southwest of
the Dawson Run well, and will start
the drill at as early a moment as pos
sible. Barnsdell & Co , on the Barosdell
tract, are about to commence a well
to the northwest of the Dawson Ruu
producer, and on almost a direct line
to the Carnahan wells.' -This venture
will more than likely decide whether
there is a connecting link. between the
two fields.
Three or four weeks will see quite a
number of wells finished in the' new
field, and will in a measure define the
extent of the territory.

Mr. John Hespehheide and Mr.
Wm. Smith, both of Butler, Pa., are

also killing game, in this, their na

seen since he was. but a lad, some
tweuty years ago,. He says the place
has lost a great deal of its familiarity
The boys bad a lively debate last
Saturday night at the Tubbs Run
school bouse, their ' usual place of
meeting. Tbey speak in oratorical
style, while discussions wax warm,
and then, as the grand finale, the
judges must decide.
Miss Ida Cropp, of Marion, Clarion
Co., is visiting her cousins, the Misses
Ada and Ella Cropp, of this place.
School opens next Monday with

Blown to Atoms.
Pleasaxtville, Nov. 26. At 11:50
this morning there was a terrible ex
plosion here wbich caused the death of
one man and seriously injured a wom
an. The man was Doc. Haggerty, a
teamster for the Torpedo company of
Warrcu. lie had just come from
Hickory with a load of 1,040 pounds
of glycerine and was unloading at the
magazine which is about half a mile
north of the town when the explosion
occurred. He must have been un
loading the cans from tbe wagon to
the magazine and it is supposed he
slipped and fell, but as to that uo one
will ever know. The magaziue, which
is owned by G. W. Vau Vliet, of this
place, was luckily empty, there being
only a few cans in it. If full the
damage would have been much great
er. Every window iu the school bouse
was broken. Tbe house owned by a
man named Glatshaw, which was the
nearest house to the explosion, was
badly demolished. The corner of tbe
house and every window and door iu
it was blown in. Mrs. GlaUhaw was
standing at a window at the time and
is very badly hurt, as yet cannot tell
how badly. Haggerty was blown to
atoms. As yet they have not fouud a
single piece of him. He lived iu
Warren, l'a., arid leaves a widow and
six step children. The bodies of the
horses, or parts of them, have been
found. The wagou was blown to
splinters. Fragments of it were
found half a mile away. Oil City
Blizzard.
The concus'siou from this explosion
was plainly felt iu Tionesta. Mr. II.
J. Hopkins was at the scene of the
disaster shortly ufter it occurred, aud
says it is simply indescribable. A
hole was blown ,n the ground large
enough to bury an ordinary bouse in,
and there seemed to be nothing left of
the rig, magazine, or team, but a few
fragments. lie also aays that tho
windows of many of tbe houses iu
Pleasantville were badly shattered.
An intelligent person when burt
will at once procure a bottle of Salva
tion Oil. It is tbe best thing to cure
swellings, bums, or wounds. All
druggists sell it at tweuty-five cents a
bottle.
Reliance Flour stands at tbe
head now. Try a sack, at II. J. Hop

Fletcher came out of the kitchen door,
when 1 started to drive toward Fryburg;
told the overseers that Fulmcr needed
clothes, and talked about him wanting
another place to live; I never examined
anything about the house except one bed,
either It was not mado tip or the clothes
ere disturbed; I said there was 300
missing, tM in gold, and that there was
$300 of Mary's money gone. When my
lib's money was counted there was a
ote of mine for (500 found; I said oh that
s a bet I had with my wife; I paid the
bet with this note; I then took the note
and tore It up; I never imido a deed to
Dan, but the Sherill' of tho county did; I
atkod Squire Fletcher if it would not be a
good plan for me to make two deeds,
one to Dan and one to Mary, to be given
to them at my death. Counsel for defence
offer in evideneo deeds showing that one-
third of l'Jrt acres of land farmed by Dan
Everhart was in Dan Everhart's name
prior to the homicide. ,
Other testimony was taken in rebuttal
of tho evidence of the defense, but nothing
new . adduced.
The Morning session Saturday morning
was taken up with counsel, Sir. Richmond
r the dofenso and Mr. Reed for the Com
monwealth, speak intone .and ono-half
hours each. Tho former Is a veteran in
defending prisoners charged with murder,
and he brought all his knowledge and ex
perience into nso. He denounced the
sleuth hounds of the law, tho detectives,
n unmeasured terms.
Mr Reed, closing for the Commonwealth,
was a powerful array of suspicious actions
and assertions of the accused pointing
to his participation in this awful
butchery. Mr. Reed's address to the
n ry has gained him the highest encom
ums of praise for legal ability.
Judge Wilson's chargo'to the jury was
most excellent. It was a comprohonsiablo,
judicial, fair and impartial expounding of
the law to tho Jury.
The jury retired at 3;10, and immediate
ly the case of the Commonwealth versus
John Everhart was taken up. John Ev
erhart and his son Dan were brought into
Court, and during thia trial they will sit

Up to last evening about all the testimo
ny in the Horner trial had been gone over
in the trial of John Everhart. There has
been some new testimony brought out,
and from this morning's Derrick we take
the following :
Ann Burnett, w ho did not answer when
called laat week, and for whom an attach
ment was issued, testified : I passed John
Everhart's the day of the homicide; I was
going into tbo house, but as I looked in I
saw a man at the window; it was about 12
o'clock; all I can say about the appearance
of the man is that lie had a black mus
tache and gray clothes; I turned back and
shut the gate and went on home.
James Van Camp, the first man arrested
for this crime, testified: I was at John
Everhart's the evening prior to the homi
cide. John Everhart was over-seer of the
poor, I went into the house, John Ever
hart was not there, he came whilo I was
there, I met hiin at tho front gate, be ask
ed me what I was doing there, I told him
I was fetched by tho overseer, Everhart
said you would not be hero if you wore
not so worthless and too lazy to work, and
that he had a notion to kick me off the
place, I had souie clothing with me tied
in bundles, my stulF was unloaded and
put in Everhart's barn, myself and family
went to Lickingville and remained at Mr.
Ruch's, John Everhart came thcro and
said I should get a house, I got a house
and moved luto it, this was Saturday be
fore or the Saturday after the homicide,
my clothes remained there ubout two
we?ks, John Everhart eamo to mo and
gavo me until the Saturday uflerward to
move my clothes out of the barn, ho want
ed tho room, Ronton Buck moved the
bundles to in y house on Friday, tho next
Monday I was arrested for the murder,
Mr. Sigworth, tho constublo, Dau Ever
hart, Mr. Rayon, Benton Buck, were
prsent when I was arrested, they searched
tho house, my clothing and tho bundles
that were in Evorhart'a barn were searched,
up to that time those bundles ha I been in
my possession, and had not been of enod,
I did not see what they took out of the
bundles, but tbey had a pair of overalls.
Tiie overalls were produced and given
to the witness. They certainly are the
most dilapidated looking overalls ever
seen, tho original color may have been
blue. They were faded, patched, worn
and tattered. Tho witnoss testified : the
first time I ever seen these overalls was
In the Justine office, when I had my hear
ing. These overalls were not in my bun
dle when I left them at Everhart's, I hud
a pair of blue overalls. Another pair were
shown witness who iudentitied them us
his, and testified they were in his bumllo,
that ho loll them at Everhart's bum when
the bundles were in his possession, I had
but one pair of blue overalls.
W. Levy reeuKed: I waa sent for to
(Kunc to Tii'iiostu; I arrived there June
ltitli; next-day I was introduced to John
Everhurl; I went with him to Oil City to
see a fortune teller, lrum w hom he had
received a letter; we went to the fortune
teller; I asked her what sho knew; she
said she knew the perpetrator of the
murder: that he had been to see her; that
he had a sear ou his face and wore a wig;
tlint lie had received $.100 above expenses
from the murder; I returned to Tionesta
and tuld Mr. Kelly what I thought of it.
then went to Lickingville; stayed at Tulips'
hotel over night got everybody's statement
forwarded them e try night to ti e main
ofllce iu Philadelphia; John S. Everhart
gave me a clue against Wilson, I followed
it up: Jo' n Everhart gave mo another
el tie, a man on a black horse; Dau Ever
hart gave mo another clue, I iau it out; it
proved to be Hoops, au insurance, agent.
John Everhart gave mo a clue against Lur
ry Harrison, 1 followed that up, found
nothing in it, the District Attorney wrote
me a clue about a man in the penitentiary.
I went to the vYostern Penitentiary, found
notbiug iu that clue, I came back and told
tbe old uuu Kterhait, he i-aid have you
any thing new? I said yes it is narrowing
down and might strike pretty near homo.
Mr Everhart then said that times was
hard and he was (reo of funds and l.e
guessed 1 had bettor quit my investiga
tion, I said I could not quit altogether at
his suggestion, that Mr. Kelly had sent
for me to come, and that I would write
him what I had found out, Everhart said
write it out and I will take It to Kelly, I
said no, after I told hiin this might strike
nearer home than anywhere else, whenev
er I talked about working around Lick
lngvillo, John Everhart always had a new
clue for mo to trace away from Licking
ville, whilo working under Everharts di
rection upon his information I first ran
down Wil.wn.Norton, their unknown man
on a horse, the Bush boys, Harrison,
II.iops, went to Pittsburg, Ridgway, Kit
tenning.Oil City, Franklin and Mcadville,
I am here because I was subpoenaed as a
witness.
Cross-examined: I acted under Mr.-
Everhart's direction, I am a detective, I
was Instructed to act nndor Evorhart'a di
rections by the committee, I miht have
told various poople that there was nothing
against the Everharts, it was not my bus
iness to get on the roof topa and toll what
I knew, I told Mr. Hindman, tho district
attorney, that I knew nothing against the
Everhart, I could not trust him or any
one with what I know about this case, I
id a man in Lickingville there was
nothing against the Everharts, but that
was the strong hold of the Buck counter-
iting gang and I did not know who I
wai talking to, I told you once and twice-'
and would tell you again, I may have
told Mr. Hindman that thcro was nothing
against the Everharts, and the roason I
told him was that he was too close to Ev-
crharta, and he had Jink Kribbs right
close to him, everything I told him lie
told Kribbs. Kribba was working for
Everharts and is in their employ yct.-
This answer caused laughter, none Joining
more hartily than Mr. Hindman. Tho
crier promptly called order In the Court
room and order was restored.
Re-direot; After the Wilson hearing
John Everhart drove me back first, ho
cried and then he laughed and lie said ho
felt glad, when Dan drove me to Tionest
John gave him a revolver.
Re-cross-examination : Wilson wa
bound over on the evidence of the Oil City
woman, the fortune teller who descrilted
Wilson's personal appearance; John Ev
erhart furnished this witness, and before
this is over we will tell you how much
she waa paid to furnish this clue.
