Big Fire at Stowtown.
The extensive and finely appoioled
band saw mill of Wheeler, Duseobury
& Co., at Stowtown, two miles above
tbe village of East Hickory, was total
ly destroyed by fire oo Sabbath morn
ing last. The watchman had left tbe
mill at half past four o'clock, and bad
extinguished all the lights and fires
about tbe premises, aod It five o'clock
tbe mill was discovered to be on fire,
and under such headway that it could
not be extinguished. Tbe blacksmith
shop near tbe mill was also destroyed.
About 3,000,000 feet of lumber was
piled below tbe mill, but a favorable
wind saved it from destruction. The
origin of the fire is unknown. Tbe
mill was ona of tbe best in tbe couoty,
aod is said to have cost betweeo
$15,000 and $20,000. We understand
tbe company bad an insurance of
$5,000.
Important Notice.
Owing to the multitude of children
in Tionesta and vicinity, it is, going to
be impossible for me to attend person
ally to all their wacta in the way of
Christmas presents, and in order that
all tbe boys and girls may get just
what they want and expect, I bave
made arrangements with II. J. Hop
kins & Co. to look after this part of
mv territory. Considering my knowl
edge of tbe wants of tbe people in this
community, and tbe willingness of Ibis
firm to assist me, I am coufideot that
every oue will be able to get just what
they want and at a lower price than I
can afford to distribute it myself.

Death of Mr. D. S. Knox.
Jesus, thou Prince of llfo,
Tby chosen cannot diet
Like thee, they conqner In the strife,
To reign with thee on high.
Malan.
Saturday evening, Dec. 20, 1890,
our citizens were shocked as tbe news
spread of the fatal illoess of one loved
and respected alike by all, Mrs. D. S.
Knox.
Elizabeth Spence Knox was born
in Indiana, Pa., May 5, 1836. Six
years later her parents moved to Clar
ingtoo, Forest county, then a part of
Jefferson county, where she was united
in marriage, June 14, 1853, with Dan
iel Stow Knox.
A residence of a year or two in Oil
City is all of their mirried life they
bave lived outside of Forest county,
twenty seven years of which they have
been located in our borough. From
their union nine children were born,
six of whom, the Mrs. J. E. Wenk,
Woi, Smearbaugh, George Klump, F.
F. Shoup, Wm. Hunter, and Miss
Kate, eurv've ber.
Our subject bad been a sufferer at
Intervals from dyspepsia for nearly a
year, but nothing serious was antici
pated, as she diligently applied herself
to the carea of ber household, aod the
extra preparations being made for the
approaching holiday season. About 5
p. m , Saturday last, sbe was taken
suddenly ill, falling to the floor and
becoming unconscious. Physicians
were quickly summoned and restora
tives applied, but not sufficient to re
vive ber from a semi-comatose stale in
which sbe remained until 11:20, when
death separated the mortal aod ira-
tnoital.
Mrs. Koox experienced a change of
heart and united with tbe Methodist
Episcopal Church under the pastorate
of Rev. F. M. Small, in 1885. Her
Christian life bas been an illustration
of a personal knowledge of oneness
with her Sarbur. Sbe was faithful
aod prompt in response to tbe calls of
the Church, earnest, helpful and loyal
to its various departments. Tbe Sab
bath School will mouru ber absence;
tbe Loyal Temperance Legion and the
Woman's ILnne Missionary Society
ber healthful iufluence, tbe class and
prayer meetings her modest deport
ment. During the years of her Spir
itual life as she was actively engaged
with the cares of her family, her inner
life was ripening for that blessed eter
nity where she now elands at the
"Beautiful Gate," to welcome those
who, like ber, have proved faithful
until death. The whole community is
saddened; the home, the husband and
the family have sustained an irrepara
ble loss, aod to them our people ex
tend hearts full of sympathy.
The funeral services were couducted
at the house ibis (Wednesday) room
ing at 10 o'clock, by Rev. C. C. Rum
berger. Court Minutes.
At tbe conclusion of our court re
port last week tbe case of Kaster vs.
Welsh was on trial. The trial contin
ued until Thursday at noon, when tbe
jury brought in a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff for $200.
Case of Commonwealth vs. Herbert
and Dell Green and John Murphy,
charged of the misdemeanor of taking
some Siberian crab apples from tbe
farm of Isaac Jones, tbe prosecutor,
was tried, and tbe boys found not
guilty, but held for tbe costs.
Two cases of Welsh vs. Hawks, re
plevin, were decided in favor cf the
plaintiff.
Case of Hare vs. Anchor Oil Co.,
was continued at cost of defendant.
Case of Wm. Latham vs. John Sto
bert was called, aod defendant not ap
pearing he was non-suited.
Case of C. A. Hill vs. Tionesta
township was tried. Ibis was a case
in which Mr. Hill was suing to recover
damages for injury to a horse while
hauliog on the road along the railroad
track hetweeo Huuter'a grist mill and
Jamieson Station. Tbe case was de-
ciJed in favor of tbe plaiotiff at
previous trial, and was carried to the
Supreme Court, and a new trial grant
ed. After some deliberation the jury
returned a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff in the sum of $161.66
George Sulsgiver v. Jesse Carson,
verdict for plaintiff in the sum of six
aod one-fourth cents.
Wm. Eck, who was found guilty of
tbe larceny of a watcb, was seoleuced
to pay a fine of $1, cost of prosecution,
and undergo ao imprisonment in the
Western Penitentiary fur the period of
one year and two months.
George W. Robiuson, of the Bor
ough was appoioied County Auditor
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of T. B. Cobb, elected in November
last.
URAMD JURY REPORT.
The Grand Jury made their report
as follows :
That they have acted upon three
bills of indictment of which two were
found true bills, and one true bill
as lo assault and battery only.
We beg leave to further report:
; That we bane visited and Inspected
the County buildings and find that tbe
vault is insufficient in size, and in case
of fire would not properly protect tbe
records of the county, and would rec
ommend that the Commissioners in
quire into the cost of a fire-proof vault
aod lay it before tbe next grand jury.
We further report that the road
running from Balltown to the Porter
farm, aod from there to Foxes, bas
been reported by Daoiel Gibson as
being obstructed by fallen timber and
would lecommeud that the roads be
opeoed up.
And would further recommend that
if there has been no objection filed
against the survey of tbe road run
ning from tbe Nebraska road, in Green
township to the Tionesta creek road,
that there be an order granted for tbe
opening op of that road to connect
with that part of the same mad in
Kingsley township now already built.
Evidence has been shown before the
grand jury and District Attorney that
one Jack Plummer is illegally selling
intoxicating liquor upon the premises
of Chas. Murphy at Byromtowu, Iu
Jenks towoship, aud we preseut the
said Jack Plummer for selling liquor
illegally.
Wo respectfully tender our thanks
to the Honorable Judges and District
Attorney for their courtesy and as
sistance rendered ua during our delib
erations. A. J. Siooins, Foreman.
Honor to Judge Brown.
At the adjournment of court on
Friday evening last, tbe members ot
tbe Forest couoty bar read aud uuant
mously passed resolutions upou the
retirement of Judge Brown from tbe
bench. Speeches were made by all
the members eulogizing the Judge io
tbe highest terms, and many very
graceful compliments were paid him
for the uniform fairness and souud
wisdom he has ever shown io his de
cisions while occupying the exalted
position uf President of the Courts
during tbe past ten years. Judge
Brown respouded feelingly to the
speeches, aud seemed visibly affected
by the impressive occasion. The pro
found retpect ever shown him in tbe
discbarge of his official duties by the
members of the bar and officers of the
Court had tni.de a lasting impress
upon his ntind aud heart which he felt
could never be effaced. Tbe rest. In
lions, which were endorsed by a rising
vote are as follows :
Wherkas, His Honor, William D.
Brown is about to retire from tho Presi
dency of our Courts, after a decade of
faithful services, it seems eminently fit
ting that this last occasion should not be
permitted to pass without some tribute on
our part as members of the Forest County
Bar, to the merit of his services. Therefore
be it
Rksolvkd, That as practicing mem
bers of the Bar this event to us causes re
gret, in view uf tbe cordial rotations that
have always existed between us, and that
during bis entire term we bave enjoyed
his personal acquaintance and unbroken
friendship, and we feel that whatever may
be the qualifications of his successor, we
will miss the genial presence of the ablo
and just Judge who preceded him, and
we not not only, but the citizens of Forest
County as well.
We endorse what has already been said
of him that "his purpose has been just,
bis decisions as free from prejudice as fulls
to the lot of man. He has been high-
minded and bas administered justice with
wisdom.
We would further add that he Is gifted
with the ability to be plain, and in the
trial of cases, possessed the faculty of sup
pressing in a pleasant manner, immaterial
questions aud statements, yet with pa
tience to hear ail that was relevant or im
portant, having no desire ot so doing for
appearance sake, but basing bis decisions
upon law and equity he leaves tbe beuch
not only with personal honor, but with
the approval of the people as to tbe profit
able discharge of bis judicial duties and
having the good wishes of all.
As a token of the esteem in which the
bar and people of Forest county, alike
hold William D. Brown, It was resolved
at a meeting of said bar, that a copy of
these resolutions be spread upon the uiln
utes of this Court and published in tho
newspapers of tbe county.
SAML'KL D. Iiiwin, President
P. M. Clark, Secretary.
Tbe ladies of the W. C T. U.. of Tiones
ta, and of Forest County, desire to ex
press to Judge Wm. D. Brown the high
esteem In which he is held by their organ
ization, for the suppression under bis
administration of the legnlized liquor traf
fic iu this Judicial district. Our hearts
are lillod with sorrow by bis retirement
from the position bo bus so ably and
wisely filled. Our best wishes lor his
welfare go with bim, aud our prayers to
Almighty Ood is that tie will ever be
stow upon him His choicest blessings.

Fifty Yean of Married Llfo.
From the Iona, (Mich.) Sentinel of a
recent date we get tbe followiog ac
count of a pleasant social affair tbat
will be read with interest by many of
the older families of this section. Mr.
and Mrs. Percival, the bride and
groom of 50 years ago, are still pleas
antly remembered by many of our
people who knew them duriug their
residence at Newtown Mills 30 years
ago. in a private letter from Mr.
Percival he mentions a number of old
acquaintances, and wishes to be re
membered lo all :
"In tbe quiet village of Talo, De
cember 1, 1890, occurred one of those
pleasant events, so seldom witnessed
and so long remembered, the occasioo
being the fiftieth anuiversary of tbe
wedding day of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Percival. Friends and neighbors
gathered in their pleasant home in the
afternoon and evening until the guests
numbered about a hundred. The host
and hostess were equal to the occasion,
aod all were made happy and comfort
able. Among those present were their
five sons, two daughters-in-law and
three grandchildren James C. and
wife ot Stautou, with their two chil
dren ; Fred. C. of New York ; George
A. of OgJen, Ulah; Edward B. of
Grand Valley, Pa., aud William J.
and wife of Lake Odessa, with their
infai.t daughter. At an early hour
choice refreshments were served, after
which Mr. ami Mrs. Percival stood
surrounded by their children, while
fitting remarks were made by the pas
tor of the church of which they have
been members many years. Letters
were read from absent frieuds, tokens
of love and good will were sent from
far and near, and the people of Palo
(who have maoy of them grown to
manhood and womaohood under the
teaching and counsel of this worthy
couple) were not behind in offering
their tokens cf luve. As we bade
them good-night we all said: 'God
spare these useful lives many years
yet.' Jabez Chapman Percival was
born at Greenbusb, N. Y., January 21,
1816. P-dly CaufielJ Percival was
born at Olean, N. Y., March 22, 1817."
