Y. & P. road have been discontinued so far as the river divi sion is concerned. The order went nto effect last Sunday. Jirumie Sbriver, who injured his eye very severely with a piece of glass, mention of which was made last week, is all right, and will not lose the sight. It was a close call for the little chap.

Order your holiday jewelry through bim. tf. Here is a little item from the Oil City Blizzad that will apply here as well as anywhere else. Heed it: The holiday season is now at band and our citizens should bear in mind that every dollar spent for presents outside of the city leaves the place just tbat much poorer. Help your self and those arouod you by buying at home, where you will find in al most every instance quality, variety and prices tbat will suit. George B. Armstrong, of East Hickory, the well known plasterer, was a visitor to town one day last week. George has heretofore beeo one of the staunchest Democrats in our county, ' rock-ribbed, and dyed in the wool," but be is no longer a Democrat, but a Republican as firm ly rooted as he ever was in the Dem ocratic faith, and voted the straight Republican ticket at the late election. There is no argument so convincing as the one which affects ones bread and butter, and he thinks when it comes strigbt borne to a man then it is time he should be convinced if he is ever going to be. All tax collectors elected next February are to be elected for a term of three years, as per the act of the legislature last May which says: ''The qualified voters of boroughs and townships in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall on the third Tues day of February after the passage of this act and triennially hereafter, vote for and elect one qualified person for tax collector who shall serve for three years." The same rule applies now to the election of burgess in boroughs, and the burgess shall not be eligible to the next succeeding term, nor shall be bold any other borough office while he is burgess. He will have the veto power, and in boroughs where the number of cuuciluien is less than uine a majority of the couu cil and one vote more shall be requir ed to pass au ordinance over the veto. HOLOCAUST IJt OIL CITf. Four Members of One Family Perish In the Flames. At half past four o'clock yester day morning fire broke out over Shields' restaurant, and in little more than an hourtheenlire block bounded by the railroad and Elm street on the east and west, and Centre and Saca more streets on the north and south, was a mass of ruins. The block con tained nothing but old wooden build ings and went like tender. Consid ering the space burned over the loss of property is not heavy, and were it not thtt at least fcur human beings were burned to death little regret would be felt by people of Oil City. Mrs. Hugh Shields, wife of the res taurant proprietor, together with three of her children Fannie, aged 14 years, Charlie aged 5, and Myrtle, a babe of eight months, are victims of the awful affair, and tip to last eve ning none of the bodies had been re covered. Judge C. W. Clark of this place was stopping ut Shields' tbat night, and barely escaped with bis life. He lost bis overcoat, shoes and stockings, aud thioks it wonderful that more lives were not lost. We have received from the pub lishers, the two great rival marches: "Irotective Tariff Grand March," and "Free Trade Grand March." The former is by the well known author, Will L. Thompson, of East Liver pool, Ohio. The latter is by Wm. Lamartine, an author of equal talent, and both pieces are beautiful, bright and showy marches of medium diffi culty for the piano or organ. Price 40 cents each. They are for sale at all musio stores, or may be procured from Mr. Thompson at one half price. One firm alone has ordered 15,000 copies. If any farmer has secured samp pies of grain from the World's fair agricultural building be will do well to burn it forthwith. It is stated that the discovery has been made tbat the whole exhibit has been attacked by the weevel, a pest whose larva is a worm tbat burrows in the kernal of the grain, and has done enormous damage to the cropsjn Southwestern Russia and in India, whence doubt lets, it was brought to tbe World's fair. It is stated that thousands of samples of grain have been carried away from the agricultural building, and there is scarcely a corner of the United States where the pest has not been carried. Phillipaburg Journal. Attention is directed to the ad. of Tiooesla's new institution, the Forest Couoly Hospital. The estab lishment of a hospital in this place fur the cure of all cases of illness or accident may seem somewhat rash at first glance, but why should it? No better place for such an institute could be selected in all the land. With the most healthful climate possi ble, tbe purest and best mountain spring water in the world and first class medical skill, what is there to hinder the establishment and tbe sue cess of a splendid hospital here? Simply nothing. Dr. Hadley, tbe energetic superintendent of the insti tutioo, has had years of experience in the conduct of such enterprises, and if tbe people will give it proper encouragement success is assured. When you call at the postoffice for your mail and tbe postmaster bands it out, ask bim if that is all. If you ask bim for mail and he tells you there is none, tell -bim there ought to be, then go home and send tbe rest of the family around to ask at different times through tbe day. Doo't bring your mail to tbe office until tbe mail closes and then curse the postmaster lor not opening tbe mail bag and putting your letter in. Wheu you want a stamp on your let ter tell the postmaster to put it on, if be don't lick it lick bim. In case you put it on yourself, soak it in your mouth long enough to remove tbe mucilage, it will then stick until it gets dry. Be sure and ak him to trust you for stamps; If he has any accommodation about bim he will do it. If you have a box stand and drum on it until tbe postmaster bands out your mail ; it makes bim feel good, especially if he is wailing on somebody else. Clarion Republi can. A scheme is on foot by which Parker expects to have another glass works. The citizens are expected to subscribe $12,000 to build the plant, and the twenty-four experienced men are to put in $250 a year each for two years, asa working capital, out of tbeir wages. If the scheme is suc cessful, the plant will be built on the burnt district. Blizzard. The glass industry may be a trifle overdone just at present, but there will sooner or later be a revival in that direction, and when that time rolls arouod the the citizeus of Tionesta, always brim full of enterprise, should not lose sight of the fact that here w one of tbe best locations in the State for just such an enterprise as above referred to. Abundance of cheap gas, oceans of good river and hill sand, broad aores of land at cheap as tba dirt that composes them, and a hundred other advantages that ran be men tinned. Keep these things in mind, geutjerueo, and when opportunity af fords don't be backward in ruakiog tbem known. RECENT DEATHS. MRS. NANCY JANE RIMES. At her home in Marieoville, on Thursday, Nov. 16, 1893, Nancy Jane, the estimable wife of Esquire Z. S. Hiraet, passed away in death, aged 55 years, 3 months and 22 days. She was one of tbe noblest of Chris tian women, a loving and devoted wife, a fund mother, aud a neighbor beloved by all who knew her. Early in life she was converted to God, and her whole life gave evidence of the sincerity of her profession as a Chris tian. Besides the Btricken husband, she leaves one son, A. E., two daughters, Mrs. Abby A. Stanley, and Maggie May Himes, and a host of friends to mourn her departure. HIEBERT BURHENN. Siebert Burheon was born in Witz enhausen, Province of Hesse, Germa ny, Feb. 15, 1828, and died at his borne in Kingsley township, Ibis county, Nov. 24, 1893. Mr. Bur henn came to this county about 1950, and was married about one year la ter, in Tionesta. He shortly after moved to and cleared the farm on which he resided to the day of his death. He had been in failing health for several years, and about 6 weeks ago took a trip to Pittsburg to visit some relatives, where be was taken sick but recovered sufficiently to re turn borne, but it proved to be bis last illness, for death came within a week after his return. Mr. Burheon was a man of good education in his native language, and for a number of years previous to bis departure to America, was clerk to his father who for many years held tbe responsible position of Borgomeister in bis city. By energy thrift and industry be be came one of German Hill's prosper ous farmers, among whom be was highly respected as a citizen and neighbor. Mr. Burbeno was a life long and consistent member of the German Reformed Church, and died in that faith. He leaves a wife, three sons Conrad, John and George of Ceruian Hill, and four daughters Mrs. Catherine Sullinger, of Eden- burg; Mrs. Anna, wife of Sheriff Osgood, of Tionesta ; and Misses Mina and Mary at home. Funeral services were held in Mt. Zion Church, on Sunday last, Rev. Mc Aniocb officiating, and a very large concourse of neighbors and friends were preseut to attest their esteem for the deceased. WILLIAM B. MEATH. At 6:25 o'clock on last Sunday evening the community kuowo as German Hill lost one of its foremost citizens in tbe death of William B. Heaih. A little more than a year ago Mr, Heath was taken ill, aud for several weeks bis condition was of such a nature as to alarm bis house hold and friends, the trouble being an affection of tbe heart. He rallied from this attack aud in the spring was able to be about and give some attention to farm work. But his re lief was only temporary, and about three months ago he was again confin ed to his room, and was never again permitted to leave it. His sufferings were very severe but be bore thorn manfully. He was one of tbe early settlers of this section, having owned and occupied the farm on which be lived for upward of 38 years. He was full of energy and peiseverence and a man of more tbau ordinary business capacity and judgment, which qualities made bim one of the well-to-do aod prosperous men of his community, while his kindness of heart and generosity made bim friends wherever be was known. He bad much to do with township affair duriug bis long residence in Kingsley township, and there was scarcely a time when he did not hold an office of trust. AH these duties he per formed with fidelity and credit to himself. .His age was 63 years, 9 mo. 24 days, aud besides a wife, four sons aod two daughters, be leaves a very large circle of friends to mourn his death. The funeral will take place to day from bis late residence, the in terment taking place at the Evan gelical Church cemetery, within sight of his farm. A good citizen gone. May he rest in peace.

We are without particulars as to the cause of death, but under stand it was from a general wearing out of bis constitution. Many of our readers were acquainted with tbe deceased, aod ell speak of bim in terms of praise ss a man and citizen.

Joseph Otinski, Is Found MnNly and is Sentenced to Eleven Years and Six Months. The trial of Joseph Olioski, the Polander who murdered Charles Reimer at Brookstoo on October 15, 1893, was concluded on Thursday last, and given to the jury. After deliber ating twenty hours they brought in a verdict of manslaughter. He was brought before the Court on Friday afternoon, and when Judge Noyes asked him if be bad anything to say why sentence should not be imposed, the prisoner arose, and in broken En glish tried to talk, but broke down and was unable to make himself un derstood. His wife and three children were at his side, and the scene which ensued was perhaps the most affecting ever witnessed in the court room. Ju ge Noyes pronounced the sen tence, which was, five hundred dollars fine, costs of prosecution, and under go imprisonment in the Western Penitentiary eleven years and six months, which was within six months of the law's limits. In doing so he declared if the verdict had been in the first degree he would have sus tained the jury. Sheriff Osgood aod Deputy Sheriff J. W. Jamieson took the prisoner to Allegheny Friday night, and Satur day morning delivered bim to the Warden of tbe Penitentiary. They say that while the prisoner was eul key and morose, be gave them no trou ble on the way.

He was taken iu, and after rest rode a railroad speeder to his home at James Mills, two miles from Brookston. Here he received medical attention, but died on tbe followiug Friday. A post mortem examination - revealed a re markable instance of vitality. He had been cut with a butcher knife on tbe left side, and so fierce was the stab that one of the ribs was cut completely in two, and the heart bad been cut to tbe depth of a half inch by three quarters long. In spite of this terrible injury tbe roan lived from 8 o'clock Sunday evening until Friday afternoon, and the morning after tbe cutting had strength enough to propel a speeder two miles.

Mrs. Otinxkl sworn I am wifo of de fendant, was at home on Sunday, Oct. 15, when Charles Reimer was at our bouse ; be came about 1 o'clock. All drank beer j Reimer sat at table and siept one or two hours j about 7 or 8 o'clock Rei mer wanted a smoke; Reimer, in tilling bis pipe spilled tobacco ; this niado my husband angry and he wanted Reimer to pay for it, said every packago cost 10 cents. Reimer said "if youean bend my arm I'll pay for tobacco," and stuck bis arm out to Joe. Joe, my husband, caught Reinier's arm and bent it, this made Roimer mad and be caught Joe in tLe crotch of his pants, between the legs and by the throat; Joo then caught him and put him out. The butcher knilo was shown and she said it was t heir's and she used it as a bread knifo ; that on tho day of the trouble the knife was in tho bread box in the buttery at other corner of house from where the scuflle took placo, and her kusbnnd could not possibly have bad it. She usually kept it in tho bread box in buttery, and took it out and put it with tbe table knives in the basket on Friday after the trouble, when she was cleaning house, white-washing the but tery and cleaning the bread box. Her other testimony was about tho same as tbe witnesses for the Commonwealth. Joe Otinski, tne defendant, was sworn and gave the description of the drinking and tight between be and Reimer in about tbe same manner as the Common wealth's witnesses. It only di lined as to the time when be changed his torn pants, lie said he did not change pants till after be put Reimer out of his bouse.

Mrs. Petrung acted as interpreter, but few of the witnesses being able to talk English, ail of the important witnesses being Polanders as well as the dulendaut and his wife. Mrs. Petrung was an in telligent Polish lady, a good interpreter, and deserves the thanks of the Court and all concerned. Her aid saved the county at least one day's trial, and she should lie rewarded for her trouble accordingly.
