Conductor Bob Fulton, Editor
Wenk of tbe Tionesta Reptblican,
and Sheriff Osgood of Forest county
went out fishing last Saturday and
made the immense catcb of 219 trout
For fear the story might not be be
lieved, Conductor Fulton brougb
217 trout home in his overcoat pock
et, while his companions established
their veracity among their friends by
each carrying borne one-half of the
remainder of the catch. Derrick. If
Bob don't go down and chew up half
a dozen of those Derrick fellows f
insinuating that he could take home
217 of that catcb in his coat pocket
we'll never carry bait for him on ao
other expedition.
Tbe storm of Tuesday of last
week was quite destructive to timber
n some localities of this county.
Sheriff Osgood and D. W. Clark of
this place were taking shelter in tbe
Salmon creek mill when it came up,
and seeing their danger ran to the
ower portion of tbe mill. When tbe
wind had subsided its track was
lainly visible in a swath of fallen
timber four or five rods wiile and sev
eral miles in extent, having tbe ap
pearance of beiog mown down with a
reaper. The funnel shaped tornado
had missed the mill but two or three
rods, and had it struck the building
there would scarcely have been a
vistsge left of it. Two barns at Kel
lettville were unroofed, as was also a
portion of Wm. Shellbotise's barn on
German Hill.
Memorial Day received a very
fitting observance in Tionesta yester
day, the program adopted having been
faithfully carried out as published.
Cemeteries at East Hickory, Church
Hill, German Hill, and other points
were visited by details from Stow
Post in tbe forenooo, and at 2:30
o'clock tbe ceremonies at "Riverside"
were begun and carried to completion
n accordance with the beautiful rit
ual of the Grand Army. Past Com
mander Jonathan Albaugh delivered
tbe oration of tbe day in his usually
eloquent style, and the ceremonies,
nterspersed with appropriate music,
were of an impressive and dignified
character. The cemetery never look
ed more beautiful than on this occa
sion, every grave having beeu trim
med up for the occasion, and lovely
flowers were everywhere visible in
great profusion. The weather was all
that could be wished, and altogether
the day was one long to be remem
bered.
Death of Mrs. V. W. Clark.
Again thia community is called
upon to mourn tbe loss of another of
its old residents. Last Sabbath, May
28th, 1893, Margaret, wife of Capt. C.
W. Clark, departed this life at tbe
residence of ber daughter, Mrs. Wm.
Thomson, at Nebraska, this county.
Until a few days before her death
Mrs. Clark had been in her usual
health and had gone to her daughters
on a visit of a few days. Wednesday
she was taken suddenly ill with her
nia and lingered till the Sabbath fol
lowing, when death relieved her of
the intense suffering she had endured.
Mrs. Clark was a native of County
Tyrone, Ireland, where she was born
July 22, 1824, and where she was
married Dec. 4, 1849 to Capt. C. W
Clark, who still survives her.
In company with her husband and
others she Imigrated to this country
in 1852 and settled near Pottsville,
Pa. From there they came about 25
years ago and settled on the farm In
Tionesta township, where they have
continued to reside. Of Scotch-Irish
descent, her maiden name being Liv
ingstone, she displayed the character
istics that are peculiar to that people.
Warm hearted and affectionate, and
possessing a clear intellect and calm
judgment, she endeared herself to all
who knew her. Naturally of a devout
spirit she early connected herself with
the Presbyterian church in Ireland,
and always remained a consistent
member of that church.
When death came she was ready.
Anticipating the probable fatal ter
mination of her disease from the tirst,
she expressed her perfect submission
to the will of her Heavenly Father,
She longed to go and be with her 8a v
ior, expressing only tbe regret that
her husband, with whom she had
lived so happily for 44 years, would
be left so lonely without her. Truly
a noble, good mother of Israel has
fallen. She will be missed. Deep sor
row will fill the heart, not only of her
own family, but of the many warm,
true triends whom she had gathered
about her. They sorrow not as those
who have no hope. She has gone to
her reward. May He, who was the
comfort of her last hours, as through
out her life, comfort them. She leaves
behind, besides her many friend, her
husband, and seven children, all of
whom are married and reside in this
vicinity. Twenty-three grand child
ren also survive her.
The funeral services were held on
Tuesday, May 30th, in the Presbyter
ian church at this place, und were
conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. V.
McAninch. Her remains, followed
by a large concourse of relatives and
friends, were laid to rest in Riverside
Cemetery.

A Close Call.
A. A. Brickley, Joe Kennedy and
A. K. Sbipe were tbe victims of an
accident on Saturday that came near
ending their lives. During tbe
storm on the afternoon of the day
mentioned, Messrs. Brickley and
Kennedy were coming to town from
their work and sought shelter in the
barn of Mr. Shipe. As the rain
abated to some extent the door of the
barn was opened and Mr. Kennedy,
who was in tbe buggy was in the act
of backing the horse out when the
barn was struck by lightning. Mr.
Brickley was standing in the
door with his hand resting against
one of tbe timbers. Mr. Shipe was
also standing in the door. All were
prostrated by tbe shock. Mr. Shipe,
whose only injury was a badly burn
ed foot, was tbe first on his feet and
succeeded in keeping a team of horses
tbst were in the barn from running
over the other men. Tbe lightning
struck the timber against which Mr.
Brickley was leaning and be was pos
sibly tbe most injured of the three,
being badly burned about tbe body
and limbs. Tbe buggy was also
struck by the lightning and a hole
torn through the seat on which Mr.
Kennedy was sitting. Mr. Kenuedy
was also badly burned about the
body. From the buggy the light
ning was conveyed to tbe horse, which
was instantly killed. Mr. Shipe is
about as usual and Messrs. Brickley
and Kennedy are receiving careful
attention at the home of J. R Barr,
and will soon be about again, but it
was a narrow escape from death. Tbe
barn was badly damaged. Marien

The Mnrder of Agent Crawford.
Sup't Price, of tbe Allegheny Val
ley's river division, bas started a sub
scription among tbe employes of that
division for the benefit of tbe wife of
John Crawford, the agent at Fox-
burg, who was murderously beaten
by loafers while in the discharge of
his duties last Friday night, dying
from bis injuries witbin 36 hours.
Tbe employes are responding gener
ously, and Mrs. Crawford will no
doubt receive a handsome sum. Tbe
young couple have been married only
about a year, and a few weeks ago
went through the sad ordeal of bury
ing infant children, twins. The mur
dered agent was a young man, being
only 22 years of age.
Samuel Mock and James McKenna
are in jail at Clarion on tbe charge
of murdering Crawford. McKenna
denies having struct Crawford.
Mock admits striking him, but claims
t was done in self-defense. Their
stories do not agree with what is
known of their previous conduct,
Tbey were lounging about the depot
on Friday night, making themselves
offensive. Crawford ordered tbem
out. When be went out of tbe depot
to meet the night express, Mock
struck him in the face with his fist,
and some one gave him a blow on tbe
back of the head with a weapon of
some kind, and this blow caused
Crawford's death. Mock claims that
he and Crawford were good friends,
and when heard of the latter's death
he cried bitterly Franklin Netva.
Samuel Mock was born in High
land township, Clarion county, where
he bas lived all his life. He is near
ly 23 years of age. James McKenna
was born in Barnett township, Forest
county, about a mile and a half from
North Pine Grove, Clarion connty
He is 19 years of age. His parents
live in Barnett twp.
Hicks on Juno Weather.
For tbe mouth of June Rev,
Hicks' weather prophesies' make a
little pleaeaoter reading matter than
his last two installments which were
wonderfully accurate. Storms with
quite warm weather may be expected
till about the 3d, when cooler fair
weather will come. About the 6th
and 7th increasing warm weather re
suiting in reactionary storms; cooler
again about the 9th. From the 11th
to tbe 14th will occur many active
storms. Tbey will be what are
known as the solstice storms, accom
panied by great electrical activity
"especially during the night, but no
one should be alarmed as it will prove
grander than disastrous." khowery
conditions are liable during tbe per
iod between tbe 10th to the 25th, with
reactionary storms about 17th to 19th
Rain and much lightning and thun
der may be expected from the 23d to
tbe 25tb, after which we shall have
cooler weather, and in some sections
may experieuce considerable drouth
A warm wave and electrical storms
on tbe 29th with local rains. Tbe
month will close with cool weather
continuing into tbe opening days of
July.

OF INTEREST TO TAXPAYERS.
Opinion et the Court in the Matter of
Wheeler & Dnsenbnrv's Ap
peal from the Assess
ment. Following is the opinion of tho Court
relative to the assessment cases argued at
the recont term, as handed down by
Judge Noyps, which will doubtless be
read with Interest by all Forest county
taxpayers !
In the matter of the Appeal of Wheeler
and Dusenbury from the Assessment
of Tract No. 6219, in Hickory Town
ship. No. 39 May Term, 1892.
This is one of a number of appeals
Iroin the decision of the County Commis
sioners, sitting as a Board of Revision of
Taxes. In all of them the land in Ques
tion is wild, and chiefly valuable for its
timber. If the examples furnished by
the evidence fairly indicate tho valuation
of such lands generally throughout tbe
county, and this we must presume Is tbe
caso, the public burdens have been most
unequally distributed. Equality of tax
ation requires that all taxable property
should be valued by the same Btandard.
Whether this is the whole, or but a frac
tion of the real value, matters not, pro
vided the same standard is adopted for
all.
Taxes upon lands are assessed, not only
by townships, but by counties some
times by the Stato at large. Assessments,
or, more properly, valuations lor tho pur
pose of assessment, are made by town
ships. It Is necessary, therefore, that the
standard of valuation should be fixed by
law for the whole State. The assessors
are accordingly required to take an oath
to "assess and value every separate lot,
piece or tract of land with the improve
ments thereon," "at the rate, or
price, which you shall, after due exami
nation and consideration, believe the
same would sell for, If sold singly and
separately at a bona fide sale, after full
public notice." The County Commis
sioners, sitting as a Board of Revision,
are required to equalize the valuations
returned by the assessors, and to bring
tbem to the legal standard. Notwith
standing these plain provisions of the
law, it appears from the evidence pro
duced on behalf of the County itself that
land, tbe real value of which Is $123,000, Is
valued for taxation at $44,000. Another
tract valued by the witnesses at f 147,000,
is assessed at $23,333. The evidence, as
well in behalf of tho County as that
taken by the appellants, shows that tim
bered lands are assessed at from one,
third to one-sixth of their roal value,
We are not advised of the average
assessment of farms and othor improved
property, but the Associate Judges, both
of whom have some familliarity with the
subject, believe that It approaches much
more nearly tbe real value, and if this is
true, it is manifest that the owners of im
proved property are bearing much more
than their proper share of tho burdon of
taxation. This Is especially so in a coun
ty .wherein the heaviest and most destruc
tive use ol roads and bridges is In connec
tion with the lumbering business, and
where so large a part of the taxable prop
erty consists of timber.
It is proper to note, however, that the
state of facta upon which we have been
commenting has only been brought to
light by tbe actual examinations of the
lands and estimates of the standiug tim
ber made by experts for use on these ap
peals. The facts now before the Court
were not before the County Commissi .(ti
ers at the time of the hearings before
tbem, and it is not probable that the as
sessors had any adequate knowledge of
the actual value of the tracts assessed by
them respectively. We cannot for
bear, however, placing the stamp
of our disapproval upon the practice of
under-valuation apparently prevailing in
this couutv. It cannot be but some as
sessors will at least honestly attempt to
comply with their oaths of olfice, and if
tbey do, tbe failure of others to do so re
sults in inequality. But what is more
important, the wilful violation of a pub
lic duty, enjoined by a solomn oath, is so
gross a misfeasance in office as to call for
the discipline of the Criminal Courts. It
should be corrected thouroughly, and at
once, and in this work not the assessors
and Commissioners alono, but all good
citlzons should co-operate.
With the exception of one, or perhaps
two, tracts, the valuations appealed from
do not appear excessive ; in many cases
they are far below the actual values as
shown by the testimony of the experts
who examined for the county. If other
lands in the county were assessed at any
thing like thoir real value these appeals
might be dismissed. The law requires
the court to have regard to the assessed
valuation of other lauds in the county,
which we understand to moan that we
are to apply to tho cases before us tbe
same, standard of valuation which we
find to prevail in the valuation of other
lands in the county. We are not to fix
this standard from the highest, nor from
the lowest, valuation laid before us in the
evidence, but by a fair average of all tho
evidence. We have fixed, as well as we
are able, the value of each tract by the
standard established by law, and since we
have no authority to raise tho other lands
to this standard, we have been obliged,
in obedience to the law, to reduce the val
tious appealed from to equalizo them
with other lands which are under
valued. Such a process involves
more or less uncertainty, and
more or less injustice, but it is all that
can be done under tho circumstances. At
another triennial assessment no trouble
or expense should be spared to coriect
this evil.
And now, May lKtli, 1893, on hearing,
it is ordered that the valuation of Tract
No. 5"J19, Hickory Township, at the lust
triennial assessment, be reduced from
144,735, to f (3,000, and that the costs of
this appeal be paid one-half by the Conn
ty of Forest, and one-half by. the Appcl
lanU,

KEW8Y SOTES.
An unknown man, about 55 years of
ago, was killed by a train on tho Nypano
track near Reno on Tuesday of last week.
He was 6 feet 8 inches high, and weighed
about 175 pounds. His identity has not
yet been discovered.
The United Prosbytcrian General As
sembly, now In session at Monmouth,
111., Rev. Dr. James Bruce, moderator,
represents a total of 62 presbyteries
with 800 ministers, 935 congregations,
111,119 communicants. The contribu
tions for all purposes tho past year
amounted to $1,400,090, an average of
f 14.07 per member.
All tbe tanneries in the Stato of Penn
sylvania have been purchased by three
corporations known as Elk Tanning
Company, Penn Tanning Company and
Union Tanning Company, and tho head
offices of all those great companies, re
presenting forty millions of capital, ate
even now established right here in Ridg
way. This is as good for the town as a
new factory, for they will employ office
help of from fifteen to twenty persons.
Verily, Ridgway is right "in it." Advo
cate. There is rough land on almost all our
farms, says an exchange, where It would
pay better to plant nuts, both for timber
and for the nuts to market than anything
else. A large farm with these trees set
on the roadside, perhaps thirty feet from
the center of tho road and twenty-five
feet apart, would sell enough nuts every
year to pay the taxes and leave a surplus
for each picker sufficient to pay for the
picking. Just why farmers should neg
lect to properly care for such trees and
suffer loss thereby is strange.
The Clarion Republican of last week
mentions the following as among

The people out at Salina who gave
about thirty pictures to a stranger sev

50 cts. each on the same, are still waiting
lor the pictures. They would be well
satisfied now to receive back the original
pictures and call the thing square. Tho
nearest they have come to getting any
thing on their investment was when they
recently received an offer by mail of
nice picture frames for $5 each. It is not
recorded that they crowded tbe mail with
orders for frames in responce to this of

popular authors have a place. We heart
ily recommend to our readers this enter
prising periodical, which has so quickly
established its claim to take a front rank
among American magazines.
J. F. Carroll, of Punxsutawney, has
invented a machine that will run till it
wears ont. The principal used is that of
natural air currents, as through a smoke
stack or chimney. The draft always
present in a smoke stack, when an open
ing is made at the lower end, is suffi
ciently strong to run a properly construc
ted wheel. He has made such a wheel,
and it runs with considerable force. This
Tliis is Mr. Carroll's perpetual motion,
and he has secured a patent. Mr. Car
roll's Invention Is interesting but as per
petual motion It isn't worth shucks. A
wheel driven by a current of air is no
more perpetuul motion than a wheel
turned by a current of water. Franklin

An idoa has gained curroncy during
the past few years that the tomato as an
article of diet Is liable to produce or en
courage tho terrible disease of cancer,
and not long ago it was also staled that
the uso of this vegetable hud been
forbidden at the cancer hospital. So
widely spread has this notion become
that Dr. Marsden, chairman of the medi
cal committee of the Caucer hospital,
London, has thought it advisable to give
it official contradiction. He says that his
committee has been inundated with let
ters on this subject, and he begs publica
tion for the following statement, which
we we hope will settle the matter at once
(or all. It ia the opinion of tho commit
too "that tomatoes neither predispose to
nor excito cancer formation, and that
they are not injurious to those suffering
from this disease, but, on the contrary,
are a very wholesome article of diet, par
ticularly so if cooked." Chambers'
