Fish of Titusville spent a few days among Tionesta friends tbe past week. Mrs. V. . Morgan bas returned home from a ralber extended visit with friends in Canada. John aud Joe Joyce are still very sick, but tbe others of tbe fami ly are getting along nicejy. Miss Frances Darr of Oil City, was the guest of her friend Miss Cla ra Dunkle during the past week. Saturday's Franklin News: 8. D. Irwin, Esq., of Tionesta, was in town on business yesterday and to day. This is a good lime to make a solid resolve that the straight Republican ticket is tbe proper thing to vote at the coming election. We presume it is hardly necessa ry to remind the boys thai Hallow E'en occurs next Tuesday night, but we hope they will use moderation in their pranks. Mrs. Adam Emert, of German Hill bas been seriously ill for some weeks back with beart trouble. Tbe family and friends are much alarmed at her condition. James Reid, Frank Arnold and Ed. Bell are off on a bunting excur sion through Forest county this week. Tbey expect to get bear, deer, etc. Clarion Jacktonian. We are crowded this week with legal advertising, which will contin ue for a short time, but in a week or so we'll be able to give our usual amount of reading matter. Franklin is to have a competing gas company, which the citizens think they need. When a company of any kind gets greedy it should have oppo sition as quickly as can be brought bout. Wm. B. Heath of German Hill, bas been suffering with another at tack of beart trouble for some weeks back. His condition, we regret to learn, is not very enoouraging to bis friends. Quite a number of "the old boys" are contemplating a trip to Ti tusville next Tuesday, the occasion of the annual reunion of the gallant old 83d regiment. No doubt they will enjoy a good time. Samuel Davidson, who was well known in this viciuity, and was inter ested largely at one time in valuable timber land in this county, died in Beaver Falls, on tbe 7th inst., from a general breaking dowu of his system. Everyone should avail them selves of the offer the Pittsburg Dis patch is now making to its readers of "A Trip Around the World" for four two-cent postage stamps.

Tbe Woman's Relief Corps, No. 137, will bold a Package Party lu the Kepler buildiog this, Wednesday, evening, at 8 o'clock. All persons are invited to bring a pound package with them. Duriug the evening tbe packages will be sold at auction. Co flee and bread and butter will be served for 10 cents. The new law in this State desig nating the election days of February aud November as legal balf-bolidavs does not imply that tbe schools are to be closed. Tbe State Superintendent says: "I would urge the directors and controllers to keep their schools in session on these days for tbe purpose of preventing too many breaks iu the regular school year." Late visitors to the World's Fair from here are Lyman Cook and daughter, John Hood, Bam. Clark, Quintain Jamiesoo aod Hart Law renco. We apprehend these will be about the last to go from here, and 'tis hoped they'll have a good time. The professional card of Dr. L. D. Bowman appears in this issue Dr. Bowman is a graduate of one of the best medical colleges, and has been quite successful in his practice thus far. lie is a young man of fioe abilities and good address, and will undoubtedly build up a nice practice in this community. In describing the sights to be seen in the Midway Plaisance, a gen tleman recently returned from the World's Fair says: "It is tbe only place in America where a man could go into the crowd dressed only in his night shirt, and not attract particu lar attention." Such is the variety of costumes to be seen. Tbe leaves have not taken on all those beautiful autumnal tints this year, though we have had a perfect fall. The coloring all inclines toward yellow. Tbe editorial bota nist of tbe Franklin Newt says tbe caube assigned is that when tbe first frosts came tbey were so heavy as to freeze all the life out of the leaves. The commission appointed by the Courts of Venango and Crawford counties, to survey and define tbe boundary line between tbe two coun ties, met in this city to-day and filed their maps and report. The commis sion consists of S. D. Irwin, of For est county, J. M. Hamilton, of Ve nango county and George Long, of Crawford county. Tbe line establieh ed and marked by the commission extends from the southwest corner of Warren county to a point several miles west of Titusville. Franklin Newt. The State Department at Har risburg is daily in receipt of inquir ies from the clerks of tbe courts of the several counties, as to whether an error does uot occur in the pamphlet laws of 1893 in the act of May 1, 1893, amending the law relative to marriage license, so as to permit mar riages to be performed outside of the county in which the license is issued. The law as printed makes the law operative October 1, 1895, but many clerks of tbe courts thiok it a mis print. Tbe original bill, however, does not differ from the law as print ed. Tbe past summer will go down in history as the worst in the matter of great railroad disasters, tbe lateBt and greatest being the one on the Grand Trunk road at Battle creek, Michigan, in which over thirty hu man beings were crushed and burned to death, and nearly two score were injured, many of them mortally. It was a head-end collision and tbe re sult of an engineer's error in suppos ing that a train, for which be had or ders to wait, had passed. Tbe de tails of the horror are awful to read, one of tbe most heart-rending scenes being a woman who was pinioned be tween the cars, scarcely injured, but was burned to death before she could be extricated. FATAL STABBING AFFRAY AT BR00KST0X. Charles Reamer Dies from the Effects or a Slash With a Knife. Last Saturday morning Constable Pbil, Kellogg and Liveryman Crozier of Marienville, brought to town a rolack, whose uame, as near as we can learn, is George Leargoski, and lodged him in jail, as the alleged slayer of Cbarles Reamer, a German living about two miles from Brooks ton, in Elk county. From what can be gathered tbe particulars are about as follows: On Saturday tbe 14th inst., Reamer, who was a butcher by trade, was at Leargnki's bouse, at Brookston, for the purpose of butch ering some hogs. The butchering did not take place, and on Sunday the two men, together with Mike Zochley, also a Polack and neighbor, were drinking beer. Toward eve ning things became quite demonstra tive, evidently and a scuffle ensued between Leargnski and Reamer, the result of which was that Reamer was threwn out of tbe house. Whether or not all three men were engaged in tbe melee is difficult to ascertain, but that no further at tention was paid to the ejected man by the other two is evident. Tbe next moruiog, at an early hour a man was passing the place on his way to his work and found Reamer lying in a gutter near by. He assisted him to reach home, and finally a doctor was sent for who made the discovery that be was very badly cut in the side, so severely in fact that one of bis ribs was severed. Tbe man lin gered uutil Wednesday forenoon when he died. Before his death, however, we understand be made a statement of the case, but just wbat that statement was cannot be learned at present. Oo tbe above facts the man now in jail was arrested and brought before a justice, who committed him to jail and held the other Polack in $300 bonds as a witness. All tho parties connec ted with the case have families, tbe deceased being about 45 years of age aud leaving a wife and several chil dren. Hitherto he had been looked upon as a respectable citizen. PRESDITERIAN CHURCU DEDICA TION. A Large Congrtfrallon Assembles to Enjoy the Impressive Services Perhaps tbe largest congregation that ever assembled in a religious meeting was present at tbe dedicato ry services of the newly rebuilt aod remodeled Presbyterian church on Sabbath evening last, the number be ing estimated at nearly four hundred people, tbe other congregations of this place having accepted the invita tion to join in tbe exercises. The Pastor, Rev. J. V. McAninch, an nounced the first bymn, and the Ring ing being congregational all joined in the hymns that were sung. Rev. Rankin of the M. E. Church, Rev. Shoup, of the F. M. Church, aod Rev. Breonan of the Wesleyan Church, occupied the pulpit with Rev. McAninch, and very ably assist ed bim in the services, each of tbe Reverend gentlemen named delivered short addresses during tbe evening. Rev. McAnincb's address was mainly a historical review of the Presbyterian church of Tionesta from its organization to the present day. These statistics we feel confident will prove very interesting to all of our citizens, bence we publish them as presented. After his address the Pastor, in a most impressive and de vout prayer, dedicated the new church to tbe service of God. HISTORY OF THE CHURCH. Forty years ago, lacking a few days, the Presbyterian church of Tionesta was organized, with a membership of sixteen of which nine were women and six men. Prior to this however, and leading up to it was a Sabbath School, organized about 1848, by Mr. Hamilton Stowe, who was its Super intendent, and Miss Anna May, after wards Mrs. John Lamb, and Miss Eva Scott, now Mrs. William Ru lings, of Denver, Colorado, the teach ers. This was a Union school and re mained so many years after the or ganization of the church, belug the first Sunday school in the place. This school was organized In the M. E. church(a frame Btructure.standingon the present ground occu pled by the M . E. church.) It remained here until the erection of the Presbyterian church, when the school was trans ferred to it and continued until the erection of the present M. E. church, about 1868, when it was again trans ferred to the M. E. church. During all this time it remained a union school, but in 1873 the Presbyterians organized a school in their own church making it denominational. Services of the Presbyterian order had been conducted at infrequent In tervals by Revs. Babcock and Hamp Bon, of Titusville, and Dr. Craighead, of Meadville, till at last a time came when the few Presbyterians began to look about them for a permanent place to worship and a permanent organization for their own mutual good and the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ. They first set about the erection of a place for worship. A lot was purchased by Mrs. Margaret May, wife of Rev. Hezikiah May, and by her donated to the trustees of the Presbyterian church for church pur poses. A subscription paper, which isetill in existence contains the names of thirty-three persons "who promise to give the sum set opposite our names to aid in the erection of a Pres byterian church to be located in Tio nesta, Venango county, Pa.," which sums amount to $1,196.00. The work or building was accordingly begun and on Dec. 9, 1853 the original part of the present stru cture was dedicated totne worship or Uod. The entire cost of the church was $1,647.00, as the "bill of expenses" shows. Who Eaid the remaing $450 is not stated ut I believe it is generally under stood, aa Mr. Stow's liberality is well- Known. On the day following the dedica tion, Dec. 10, 1853, the people met for the purpose or forming an organiza tion with Rev. Hampson as modera tor, and Wm. Bailey as secretary. After deciding the church should be lone; to the new school, the following persons were received as members : Hamilton Stow, James inlands, Her man Bloom, Benjamin May, Wm. McKInley, Selden T. May, M. R. Riddle, Margaret May, Helen S. May, Mary A. Smith, Elizabeth May, Pran ces A. May, Mary McKInley, Lucy Selden, Mary M. Riddle and Ann S. May, Mr. Stow and Mr. inlands were chosen elders. Of these original 16 members, Mr. Stow, of Cincinnati, O..Mr. McKInley, of Elizabeth, N. J., Mrs. Mary M. Kiddie, now Mrs. Woodlngtou, of this county, Mr. Ben jamin May and Mrs. Frances A. May are still living, tne two latter members at the present time. Mrs. May being; the only member who has beeu in continuous communion with the church since its organization. The first communion service was held Jan. 15, 1854, conducted by Dr. Craighead. It would seem a fitting thing here to say a word concerning Hamilton Stow. A devout and ear nest whole-souled christian. He was always seeking opportunity to do the work ot his Master. After tils re moval to Tionesta, he gave largely of his time and means to this end. It was through his efforts the Sunday School was started; through his untir ing devotion tne prayer meeting was sustained, and through his generous liberality the erection or the first church was possible. He was not satisfied with having made a begin ning but until the time of his removal in 1865, he manifested the same zeal and energy in the advancement of the Kingdom or Christ. During the next one and a half years the church was supplied occa sionally by Revs. Berregeand Elliott. Kev. U. W. Hammer was engaged as regular pastor Nov. 1855 and contin ued with the church about two and a half years, giving two-thirds of his time to this place and the remainder to Pleasantville. Quite a number of accessions were made during this pas torate. Among others was Mr. Jas. A. Bowman, who perhaps deserves more than a mere mention ot his name. Coming from Utica, Pa., when a young man he united with this church on profession of his faith. His upright character aud zeal in the Master's service soon won for him the love aud respect of the church, so that seven months later, in August IS'mJ, he was elected and ordained to the office of ruling elder, and up to the time or his death discharged faithfully the duties of that office. He was an able, willing and etticient coadjutor of the senior elder, Mr. Stow, in ail his efforts to build up the church. He has left behind bim for the many of us who have never seen his face, me mentoes and memorials ofhi? thought fulness and devotion, in the noble symmetrical maple trees that now surround and beautify the church, planted by his hands. The pastorate of Rev. Hammer, which closed in March 1858, was fol lowed by three years during which there is no account of any preaching service. In 1861 Rev. R. C. Allison became pastor, and remained two years, after which with the exception of the services of Rev. Andrew Virtue giving but one third of his time, from 1869 to 1871, the church was supplied only Irregularly by the Presbytery until January 1875. The condition of the church during these 12 years seems to have been at a very low ebb. The excitement created by the war and also by the discovery of oil was Injurious to the church and the rec ords show no evidence of work done; scarcely the existence of the church, while on the other hand apathy and neglect is quite apparent. Shortly af ter the close of the war the church suffered by the removal of many of its prominent members toother plac es which, in a large measure also ac counts for its low condition. In 1875 Rev. Wm. Elliott, now of Canal Ful ton, O., settled over the church for one-half time. The piospects began to brighten. There being no ruling elders, Mr. II. H. Stevenson, of Oil City, was invited to assist the pastor in the reception of new members, and on Jan. 1C, 1875, twelve were received most of whom are st ill in connection with this church. Shortly after this in April, Mr. G. O. Butterfleld was elected elder, a conscientious, sincere, devout christian, he performed faith fully his duties till his death in 1890. During this pastorate, which contin ued until 1880, the church was greatly strengthened both in point of num bers and in efficient organization. Rev. James Hickling, now of Dres den.Ohio, having supplied the church during the summer of 1880, was called for one half time August 22, 1881., and remained with the congregation till May 1888. Of him it can be truly said "He was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost." Ilia earnestness and Bingleness of purpose was felt by all. Although the early days of the history of the church were not as bright and prosperous as one could wish for It.yet we realize that an esti mation based upon numbers or ap pearances is often false. The founda tion must be laid. But this work, though all important does not alwavs strike the beholder with its true worth. The work of a life time for the coversion of a single soul Is by no means a wasted life.for it may be the foundation upon which a noble super structure is to be built, and the value of that single soul In the eyes of its crea tor, who can compute? Before the harvest comes tbe seed time, and the seed sown in hope and faith shall surely by and by bring fotrh abundant fruit. But it is almost always the Divine Husbandman's good pleasure to have at least some of tbe reaping go along with the sowing, that the hearts of his workers may not grow faint and weary in the way, so it was here. The years covered by the above narrative from 1853 to 1888, were not without visible results, 123 persons in all were added to the church, many of whom continue with us till this day. Some have moved to other parts of the Master's vineyard to take their places among the ranks of christion workers, while many have lain down the cross to take up a crown and join with the throng of the redeemed "who have washed their robes and made them white In the blood of tbe Lamb." Up to April 1st 1893, 198 persons have been members of the church, and the present roll of members is 90. The elders at the present time, are Mr. Archibald B. Kelly, ordained and in stalled, August 5, 1877, and George W. Robinson July 6, 1890. These with the addition of C. A. Randall, consistute the trustees. In regard to benevolence the church has a good record, though nothing definite can bo given earlier than June 1st, 1889, the beginning of the present pastorate. During the past four years the offer ings to the different Boards of the church, aside from legacies, aggregate $1,225. The Sabbath School is in a good healthy condition showing the whole number enrolled to be about 180. One feature that Is well worthy of notice is the large attendance of the oldest people of the congregation, who have not arrived at the point of "know it all" about the Bible, which becomes more precious, because of its revalation, with Increasing years and careful ntudy. The Ladies Home and Foreign Missionary Societies, were organized, the former in 1888, and the latter about ten years previous, and are carried on by a devoted band of earnest workers with splendid results, results not only in Increased contri butions to the cause but also in the development of a broader christian sympathy and zeal in christian work. By the death of Mrs. Helen May Thomas in July 1890, the Foreign Missionary society lost a valuable member to whose constant and un wearied efforts the society owes much of its success. Last, but by no means least, among the special church organizations are the Young People's Christian En deavor Societies. As a means for binding together the hearts ot the young In the bonds of christian fellow ship, developicg christian life and activity, inciting to good works these societies have accomplished much. The senior society was organized in the church April 1891, though It had, its birth more than a year previous In a club of boys ranging from 12 to 16 years, they met each week for prayer and the study ot God's word. Out of this has developed a society number ing 82 active and seven associate members. The christian charucter of these meetings has never been lost sight of nor is there any disposition to do so. Their regular meetings on Monday evenings are such good old fashioned meetings of prayer, praise and seaking, that would win the approval of those who fear the results of multiplication of societies within the church and disarm all opposition. Al ready 14 young people have united with the church who had been associ ate members. In the summer of 1892 the Junior Endeavor was organized under the superintendenty of two members of the Keillor Endeavor Misses Nannie Morrow and Anna Anderson. This society has a iiu'in bershlp of 38 and its Funday after noon meetings are glvm to the study of the Bible and de, ;".nal service. This training of the children to take part in public service can not but make itself felt in coining days in better equiped men and women to do Christ's work in the church. Ho with hope we look forward to the future. Standing here in the pres ence of God in this building about to be dedicated by prayer to fiis worship, a building so substantial, so conveni ent, so suited to all the needs of the church, we praise Him, who has led us, lor all his mercy, love and good ness. And as our minds have recalled the past.as we have noted the difficul ties through which our fathers have gone, the victories they have nch ieved through the blessing of Almighty God let us consecrate ourselve anew to his service. As we enter Into this new house of worship may It be with new life and zeal, with union of heart, mind, and purpose, with love to God the Father, Son.and Holy Spirit, and may we so live, guided by the Holy Spirit, that the blessing of God may rest upon us, his Spirit working through us that this church may be a blessing to the world, and an honor to Him who hast redeemed it with his own precious blood. -"" I'roclanintloii of CJencral Election.
