Mr. Kennedy Hawk, of Ne

the hospital at Pittsburgh, where he
had another operatiou performed on
his right leg, which bad been bother
ing him of late. While not over san

complete success, he stills feels hopeful
that the wound will heal without
further difficulty, in which hope his
many friends heartily join.
Marcus Ilulings, known through
out oildora as one of the most public
spirited and useful citizens within its
limits, died at bis home In Oil City on
Monday night of this week, aged 68
years. He was a man of large means,
and spent much of it in a charitable
and benevolent way, and he will be
missed and mourned by a very large
circle of friends. He was closely
related to the Hulings family formerly
of this place.
The following paragranh from the
jVews hits ofT the situation ..feabouts
as well as in Franklin, aud ou the
"misery loves company" score, is a
little bit comforting anyway: "The
doctors in this city have been a very
busy lot of men during the present
season. The calls upon them were for
a lime so numerous aod frequent that
about every one of them had to get
along with only abwt forty wiuks of
sleep per day."
The Tidioute Xews very properly
observes that "1892 is going to be an
expensive year in the matter of mutual
life insurance, particularly among
those orders strong in the north. The
death rate although covering more
territory, will be greater thau from
yellow fever in auy one year in the
south. But the obligated brotherhood
should stand firm and meet the relief
calls. That is the object of the orders
and the only cause of their being.
The dwelling bouse of Jack Reed,
but not occupied by him at the lime,
situate about one mile from Marien
ville, on the road leading to Tylers
burg, was burned to the ground on
Saturday night last, taking fire be
tween 10 and 11 o'clock. The house
was a substantial one and, together
with, an outbuilding also destroyed
cotails a loss on Mr. Reed of $1,500 to
$2,000, the iusu.ance on which had
expired but a few days previous to the
fire.
The trouble over the injury to
James Manross, of Hunter's Stalion,
mentioned in our issue of two weeks
ago, culminated in the arrest last week
of Mr. John Booher, a neighbor, and
on Friday a hearing was had at the
injured man's house, presided over by
Esquire Petligrew, of President, who,
on the testimony adduced, bound Mr.
Booher over to court in the sum of
$1000. The nature of Mr. Mauross'
injuries being such that be is unable
to leave his home at this time the trial
will likely not come up at tbe present
terra of court at Frauklin, where it
must be had, the alleged offense having
occurred in Venango county.
A resident of forest county was
iu the city yesterday, and claimed bis
object io cuming to Oil City was to
fiud some of the members of tbe Fur,
Fin and Feather club and notify them
that the game laws are being seriously
violated in the vicinity of Tionesta.
He staled that deer are being bounded
regularly aod that less than a mooth
ago a 200 bound buck was driven into
tbe river and killed withiu a half mile
of Tionesta. Derrick, Jan. 26. The
Derrick has been mis iuformed in this
matter. We are told by a reliable
parly that the deer iu question was
driven into the river near President,
by dogs that bad been started on a fox
chase. we have not heard of any
other violations of the law. Forest
county sportsmen are not guilty of
any such tricks.
We accompanied Sheriff Osgood
on a flying visit to the hustling towu

coutioues fairly brisk there, and the

frisky for a general inspection, but 00

Chas. F. Black & Co.'s new store in
the Holeman Building. On Monday,
Jan. 25th. Messrs. Chas. F. Black &
Co, Gent's Clothiers, Hatters and
General Furnishers, of Oil Cily, opened
a branch store io tbe Holeman Build
ing for tbe avowed purpose of bestow
ing upon the inhabitants of Tionesta
and vicinilv. in fact, upon the entire
people of Forest county, an opportu
nity of which it is hoped advantage
will be taken. They are carrying ao
elegant aod complete line of Men's,
Youth's and Children 8 Clothing, to
gether with a stock of Hats and Fur
nishing goods which surpasees anything
of the kind ever brought into tbe
county. Io order to make their stock
the more complete and at the saroo
time offer to their patrons every con
venience which it is witbin their power
to bestow, they have associated with
themselves Mr. F. M. Stephenson, the
well kuown Boot and Shoe dealer
Oil City, whose reputation for hand
ling the finest and most complete line
of footwear in the entire oil country
aod vicinity is as general as is his
reputation for remarkably low prices.
Tbe Shoe Department will be under
the direction of Mr. Milo N. Miles(
chief clerk for Mr. Stepheoson, whoBe
experience and generally affable and
agreeable ways will eusure Mr,
Stephenson's putrons prompt and care
ful attention. The entire stock of
their combined interest is, in fact, as
regards quality and price, an exact
counterpart of the very superior lines
earned by each of them iu their Oil
City stores, aud if the success which
has followed their efforts to please and
accommodate the trade iu Oil City is
any criterion by which to judge of tbe
result of their efforts in that direction
here in Tionesta, we feel safo in sayii g
that our readers have indeed an op
portunity to grasp.
In addition to Ready Made Cloth
ing, Furnishing Goods and B iota and
Shoes tho new firm will do Custom
Made Work, having secured for that
purpose the services of Mr. T. J. Van
Wert, of the firm of Geary & Smith,
of Oil City, Pa., whose success as a
cutter is as well known as is tbe quali
ty of goods handled by the firm which
he represents.
For fear of a misunderstanding of
these young gentlemen it may not be
amiss to mention that they are not
opening up a Bankrupt Sale, since
they have not yet become bankrupt
nor are they trying to dispose of a
stock which is the accumulation of
many years. And that this is true
follows from the fact that the firm of
Chas. F. Black & Co. began business
in Oil City only last February, and in
consequence the goods here in Tiones
ta, since they are for winter wear only,
have all been purchased within the
past three or four months. We have
no hesitancy in recommending to our
readers Messrs. Chas. F. Black & Co.,
together with Ibeir associate Mr. F.
M. Stephenson, and if, for no other
purpose than that of meeting and
knowiug the affable, whole-souled and
gentlomaoly manager of tbe store io
llie Huleman Building, Mr. JNeil tor
tuue, we would ask our friends to call
on the lionesta liraoco 01 iuessrs.

It is probable that the production of the

Guffey A Co., in the McDonald field, will
never be equalled. It Ib the most remark
able well ever drillod in the history of the
oil country, as since Its opening in July it
has produced altogether withiu a few
thousand of 000,000 bbs. of oil, and may
yot put out many thousand barrels before
it finally expires. It was a fortune in
itself, as the value of the oil it has pro
duced is not less than $300,000, while tbe
actual investment in the well was proba
bly not over 7,C00. On Thursday, for the

An election of the officers of the W. N.
Y. A P. railroad was hold In Philadelphia!
Jan. 14th, which reaulted in a victory fof
the Philadelphia stock holders, and will

William T. Tiers, E. W. Clark, Jr., John

tons and Edward L. Owon. Tbe old mem
bers who wore defeated for re-election
were President Culvln II. Allen, Adolph
Eider, P. P. Pratt and Isaac N. Seligman.
The election brought out au unusually
heavy vote, 175,000 shares being repre
sented out of a total of a possible 107. The
result insures the election lo the presiden
cy of Samuel G. Decoursey.
The town of Caribou, Maine, the native
home of our esteemed townsman, J. 11
Hardison, lias a ci'izcn, says the Ilcpubli-
can, who claims to uavo aiscoverea an
electrical power in the'earlh, by means of
which be is aide, with the use of electrical
instruments Invented by himself, to
transmit sounds any distance, simply by
connecting wires with the earth at differ
ent points, and making uso of the positive
and negative electrical current forces in
the earth. This system promises to do
away with, and make unnecessary, the uso
of all batteries which are now used for
transmission of sounds by the telephone
and telegraph, and to use tho natural
forces of the earthfiustead. The inventor
bat a line about one mile long in success
ful operation, and all those who have ex
amined it say it is something wonderful.
If this discovery proves to lie all that is
claimed for it it will work a revolution in
the electrical science, and powers which
have heretofore been useless, because un
known, will be developed and do the
work which is now dono by oxpuusive
machinery.
