looks like Iudian Summer hud come.
But we won't prophesy ; before this
reaches our readers it may be raining
or snowing and Indian Summer at
least a year off
The rabbit season is on now, aud
the game is quito plenty in almost
every section. Up to Gve or sis years
ago rabbits were considerable of a
rarity in these parts, but they seem to
be getting pleniicr each year.
The teachers' institute of this

Adam might have been the "good

Fiiends here received the intelli
gence, Monday, of the death of Mrs.
Gilbert McKinley, on the 28th ult , at
her home iu Lansdale, Montgomery
county. She was formerly Miss Jane
Sibbald, and had many old friends in
this section, who will regret very m-ch
to hear the sad oows of her death.
It is reported that oil has been
sruck in a well on the Watson farm,
Howe twp. The location of the well,
as nearly as we cau learn, is on sub.
58 of Warrant 2730 Should this
venture prove a success, or even a fair
well, the probability is that it will
open a new and large field of opera
tions in that section.
Geo. M. Walter, messenger of the
Adams Express Company, Baltimore,
Md.,says: "Having used Dr. Bulls'
Cough Syrup for tho past ten years in
my family, I wish to say that I con
sider it the best Cough Syrup I ever
used. It has curod my children of
croup several times and saved me
many a doctor's bill."
A sad accident occurred on Bo
vee's lease in Harmony township on
Tuesday evening of this week. A
young mat), whose name is unknown,
from Kiozua, was on the lease looking
for work. He climbed up and was
standing on tho lop of an oil tank
when the decking gave way under his
feet and he fell into the tauk and was
drowned in the oil before be could be
rescued.
Contractors Joyce & Diekrager
have completed the stone work on tho
Nebraska bridge, and the filling of the
abulmentB will be finished as fast as
the work cau be accomplished. The
contractors for the iron work will oot
be more than three weeks in getting
the bridge together after the materials
are on the ground, and so within the
next four or five weeks at least the
new structure will be ready fur public
travel.
We congratulate veteran John
Tyrrel, of Tionesta township, upon his
good fortune In having been granted a
pension by Uncle Sam, which carries
with it a nice little wad of back pay.
Daniel Black of the township, has
also been granted a re-issue. The old
soldier boys are faring well under the
Republican administration.
Grading has begun on the railroad
I hat is to unite East Hickory with
Tionesta creek. We understand the
road is to he standard gunge. It will
run up Beaver Creek to Camp Run;
then up Camp Run, or among the hills
thereabouts until it reaches the sum
rait, then down Ross Run to Tionesta
Creek at the moutb of Ross Run.
From there one branch will run down
Tionesta Creek to Nebraska, and an
other branch up the creek from Ross
Run. The road will likely be com
pleted by next Fall.
Harvey Jones, who is taking out
ties on the river bill below the mouth
of tho creek, had a stick get away
from him and knocked the studio' out
of the gas main, Mouday afternoon.
And then there was a wail among the
denizens of the town, particularly
since Monday night was the coldest of
the season. It was quite amusing to
hear cronching of store boxes, smash
ing of kindling, etc., Tuesday morn
ing all through the neighborhood, as
the family head, for the first time in
four years, hustled around for enough
stuff to brown the flapjacks.
An experienocd hunter of Oak
land towoship, who has just returned
from a hunting trip in the woods of
Fotest county, reports that game is
very scarce, and he only saw two deer
while there. It will doubtless not be
many years ere the wilderness part of
Forest county will be as barren of
game as the thinly settled counties.
Franklin Xcivt. This is a veritable
fact. Uuless there is something done
to stop hunting entirely, for a term of
years at least, there will bo very few
deer to be had to this or any other
county of this State by the time the
next census is taken. One of the
chief causes for the depletion of this
noble game has been the length of the
season, and ut such a time as would
give the deer the least chance for their
lives.
Bishop Foster, of the M. E.
Church, considers dramatic auiuso
roent an unhealthy excitement. He
says, however, thut he never attended
a theatre in his life. ' I think," he
says, "that every true Christian will
find that be or she obtains spiritual
comfort and strength by absiuining
from all such doubtful forms of so
called amusement." Cardinal Gib
bous, bead of the Catholic Church in
this country, says he has never been
in a theater or play house. ' I am
persuaded, however, that some plays
are not only entirely harmless, but arc
even elevating, refining aud instruct
ivo to a high degree in their tendency,
though I must say thut I fear lae great
majority of theatrical productions are
demoralizing." Ho thinks Christians
should avoid bad plays as they would
avoid noxious food.
The Supreme Court of Pennsyl
vania in session at Pittsburgh, Pa., on
Monday last banded down the follow

county cases: Cullner vs.Greig; Com

82,480,540 PEOPLE.
The count of the population by the
Census Office at Washington was fin
ished last Friday. It shows that the
population of the United Slates, so
cordiog to the first count, was on June
1, 1890, 62,480,540. This is exclusive
of white porsons in Indian Territory,
Indians on reservations and Alaska.
The population in 1880 was 50,155,783.
The total increase of population in the
last decade is 12,324,757. The per
centaga of increase was 24.57. This
is a smaller percentage than that of
the decade between 1870 and 1880,
which was 30 08. In speaking of this
falling off Superintendent Porter Bays
in a special bulletin issued Friday :
"If these figures were derived from
correct data they would bo iudeed dis
appointing. Such a reduction in the
rate of increase in tho face of the
enormous immigration during the past
ten years wjuld arguo a great diminu
tion in the fecundity of the popula
tion or a corresponding increase in its
death rate. These figures are, howev
er, easily explained when the character
of the data used is understood. It is
well known, the fuct having been
demonstrated by extensive aud thor
ough investigation, that the census of
1870 was grossly inaccurate in the
Southern States, so much so as not
only to give an exaggerated rate of
iocrease of the population between
1870 and 1880 in these States, but to
affect very materially the rate of in
crease in the country at large."
The population 'of Pennsylvania is
5,248,570, an increase of 965,683;
percentage of iocrease, 22.55.

OBITUARY.
Titnsville .Sunday World.
HON. HKNnY BROW BATKS.
With feelings of unutterable aadness we
are colled upon to ehronlclo the death of
one of our brightest and best citizens, Hon.
II. S. Bates, which event occurred on
Thursday morning, October 30th, 18!M), at
his home in Titnsville, Pa. Nearly thrco
weeks bifore his death he caught a sovero
cold which confined him to tho houso, and
eventually resultod In a complication of
diseases which balllod human skill. The
Immediate causo of death, however, was
inflammation of the kidnevs. During the
last week of life ho was conscious only at
intervals, but he was rasigned and com
posed, and when 1: was possible to do so
spoke words of tender love and cheer to
tho dear ones who hovered around his
bedside. The news of his death caused
tho most profound sorrow throughout tho
city and the llsg at O. A. R. Loiulqu irtors
was immediately placed at half mast.
Hon. Henry Snow Hates was born at
Scituate, Plymouth county, Mass., Novem
ber 27th, 1827, his parents being tho best
typo of tho hardy New Kngland family.
He graduated at Liecester Academy, and
subsequently entered Middlebury college,
but before he had finished his studies at
this institution he wa.i attracted by tho
gold excitement iu California aud in com
pany with seven young men, equally as
adventuresome as himself, purshased and
equipped a vossel and sailod around the
Horn to California, whore he roughed It
for two years with variod success. Re
turning to Massachusetts at the end of that
tinio he secured the responsible position
of master mechanic in the navy yards at
Fort Warren, Boston Harbor. Of a stu
dious disposition, with a Keen and active
intellect, he continued his studies even
while being engaged in mechanical pur
suits, and a few years later ho became
principal of tho high school at Scituate,
his native place. In that Now Kngland
town In tbe ten years thnt preceded the
war Mr. Bates was thrown in contact with
some of tho brightest intellects and grand
est men this country has ever produced,
and it is not strange that ho very early
took an active port In the prologue of the
terrible drama which was soon to follow.
Karly In 1862 he enlisted iu tho 43rd Mass.
Vol. and was soon promoted to 1st Lieu
tenant, and then to quartermaster. His
rocord throughout the war was most hon
orable, and after his discharge he removed
to Tidioute, and soon aftor, in 1807, wo aro
informed, ho came to Titusville. Here ho
entered upon an exceedingly active career
as contractor and builder, and hai follow
ed his profession of architect In connection
with building to tho hour of his last ill
ness. Nearly every building of any mag
nitude that has been built iu our city has
been erected undor his supervision, and
many of them were originally designed
by him. Notable among theso might be
named the Ralston A Harrington block,
tho Parshal opera houso, tho Emery opera
house, tho olegant residence of J. P
Thomas, aud many othor buildings. Ho
also superintended tho erection ' of the
Presbyterian church and Titusville opera
house, and more recently tho elegant Na
tional Transit building at Oil City.
Iu all public questions Mr. Bates took
an octivo part, and lie has many times
represented the people of this city in va
rious public offices, always with credit to
himself and tlio strictest fidelity to the in
terests of tho peoplo. As councilman,
member of tho School Board, representing
the county in tho Legislature, ho was a
man who could not bo swerved from an
honorable course, and ho always com
manded tho respect even of his enemies,
for it is tho unlortunato part of political
life that mon who do their duty as a clear
conscience dictates almost inevitably make
enemies. He was a man of poi.itivo con
victions, far seeing and full of resources.
Careful and generous in his treatment id
those who wero employed under him his
loss is keenly felt by ail who wore con
nected with hi ui in business pursuits. He
was a lneuil or of Chase Post G. A. R. and
was president of tho East Kud Sluikospeare
club for years, where his wide fund of in
formation, his line intellect and genial so
cial qualities mado him a geiierul favorite,
and where ho wielded an educational in
fluence that will bo sadly missed.
But it is as a loving husband, a tender
father and a warm hearted und kindly
noighbor, that Mr. Bates' character stands
in its best light, and his wifo, throe sous
and tore) daughters who survive him have
tho deepest sympathy of the entire com
munity. In his family he was all gentle
ness, all tlioughtfulncss, all loving, and
only those nearest ones who aro left to
mourn his departure from our midst
know how great a loss our city has sus
tained. The funeral services wore held from the
Prosbytcriuu church on Saturday after
noon, and a very large concourse of fiiends
was present to pay a lust tributo to his
momoi-y. The members of Chuso Post at
tended in a body. Rev. Robert Murray,
a very dcur liicud of Mr. Bates, pro
nounced tho last words of consolation, aud
his remarks throughout were tilled with
tho deepest uil'octioii for his friend and
sympathy for the stricken family. To Mr.
Murray, more than to any other man in
this community, Mr. Bales had confided
his deep religious convictions. To many
his religious character was misunderstood
but it was a pleasure to Mr. Murray to
testify to tho purest religious sentiment
which he hud entertained, and iu the beau
tiful poem by Whittier, "Tlio Eternal
Goodness," Mr. Murray portrayed the
creed which wus tho t'stono of Mr.
Bates' character.
Tlio floral otl'oriugs wore very numerous
and exceedingly beautiful, homo of the
designs being perfect gems of tho florist's
art. Tho East End .Sociul Club, of w hich
Mr. Bates was the president, sent a floral
uliuir, a most touching expression of their
sympathy. The church wus also hand
somely decorated.
The relatives of tho family who cumo
from abroad to attend tlio services were
W. H. May, of Louisvillo, and II. W.
May, of Chicago, brothers of Mrs, Bates ;
J. B. Legnurd, of Chicago j Mr. and Mrs.
A. B. Kelly, mid Mrs. Sharp, of Tionesta j
Mrs. Edward liluaklvy, of Franklin, Ar
chie K. BuUs, of Louisville, und Rev. If.
S. Bates, of Kin.uu.
IN MKMOItl AM.
We pause to-day beside tho new made
grave that has covered so much of what
we prize as noble and good, to pay a sor
rowful, loving tribute to tho memory of
Henry S. Bates.
We do not speak for tho devoted wifo
and loving children who, for months past,
bave listened at night for his coming, aud
have watched and waited at the d'Wr to
wolcomo him homo. Tholr hearts know
too well their own sorrow.
We speak for tho circle of friends whoio
privilege it has been for the past ten years
to share his social hours. They have met
him often, have folt the kindly grasp of
bin hand, hate responded to his genial
smile, and Joined in his cheery laugh.
They have learned much from his original '
moiics oi in-night and expression, and
have gleaned from tho literary treasures
stored In his cultured mind. They have
listened to his wise counsel and been
charmed with tlio keen and ready wit that
never left a wound. They have respected
the broad Christian faith, so liberal as to
be tolerant of all who differed from him.
It is true that timo had scattered a little i
frost upon his temples, and snow upon his
beard, but so gently that no chill had
touched tho warmth of youth in his heart,
and none who knew him could feel but
that many years wero left for him and for
them. Suddenly and too soon tho end has
come. His friends know what they have
lost, and most sincerely do they mourn.
Farewell, dear friend. Spirits such as
thine do not shine only to be quenched in
tlio giavo. Tho memory of all that has
been shall live with us until, one by one,
our paths diverge toward that other world
wheHf we hopo to meet and to know thee
again. A Fnir.ND.
NEWSY NOTES.
The new census report of religious
bodies in tho United States shows that
thoro are 134 sects.
In the ttibo works at Oil City is said to
bo working a man who spent twenty-five
years of his life ns an exilo in the mines
of Siberia.
The managers of tlio Stonoboro Fair
have doclared a dividend of ten per cent.,
and still have $'2,000 in the treasury for
Improvements.
A monster flag stono, the largest, por-
haps, over quarried in the State, has been
taken from a Bradford county quarry. It
Is 77 feet long, 0 feet wide and 18 inches
thick.
Tho inanagors of tho expross companies
hnve decided upon an advance of about '25
per cent, in rates. They allege that the
transportation companies have increased
the charges forj carrying express matter.
Though times aro a liiliu doll, the indo
fatigablo cigarette takes no vacation.
Within a week dispatches have announced
tho death of two young men, victims of
tho cigarette habit ; but tho unceasing
activity of this fool kiilcr Is not expected
to diminish tho devotion of his followers.
The now tyla potato rot, says an ex
change, is doing effective work. To those
who have tubers stored, it may bo said
thut a slight sprinkling of air-Blacked lime
on potatoes after they havo been put in the
bin, will preserve 'them. If a potato has
commenced to decay it will immediately
stop it. It is a clean und siniplo remedy
and cannot injure tho potato.
This utterance of Talmngo is probably
mere applicable to city than country con
gregations: "Tho church Is dying of fas
tidiousness. Wo shed tears for the woes
of tlio world on hundred-dollar pocket
handkerchiefs, and then drop pennies into
tho poor boxes. We yearn to help the
poor and the oppressed, but we beg to bo
excused from touching diity hands."
A ghastly reminder of tho Johnstown
flood still remains in that city in the shape
of a building tilled with coflins, which the
Tribune, thinks should bo burned. They
were sunt thero with many more which
wore used by some kind fiiends in an
emergency, and wero mado quickly and
not particularly,wcll of probably tlio best
material that could bo had ; inconsequence
wero novor good, and time has not im
proved them.
An exchange says that if wo wero to put
a two lino local in tho most obscure corner
of tlio sheet, which stated that a certain
man charged moro for his goods, and kept
a poorer grade of the same than l:i com
petitors, tho mun would, employ a bull
headed slugger to go around and kill us
the next morning. But if we wore to nsk
the snmo man for a two line local praising
his goods, he would say: "No, I don't
think advertising pays; no one reads
advertisements." Such reasoning would
make an Egyptian mummy laugh.
