place and Hickory. The channel
will be wide and deep enough to float

It bas grown to be a question in
Tionesta whether pedestrians have
any rights on the sidewalk that bi
cyclers are bound to respect or not.
There is too much reckless riding
and one of these days some one will
be badly hurt. Wheelmen should
keep olT the sidewalks at times when
the roads are good and should ride
slowly upon the sidewalks, at all
times.
Speaking of cows dying from the
effects of eating black' cherry leaves
from the trees which have been cut
during the "dog days," a cow belong

died before reaching home.

will do well to correspond with F. A.
Beatty, Ticket agent, Oil City, Pa.
who will take pleasure io giving all
needed information.
The American Express Com
pany has made a material reduction
in its rates, ranging from ten to forty
per cent. And the best part is that
Tidioute is in it. Newt Glad to
know that Tidioute is in it, but we
have our doubts about Tionesta be
ing in it yet, considering as how it
costs 70 cents to bring an ordinary
package of about 12 pounds from
New York city. The American Ex
press Co. might make an all-round
reductiou of 50 per cent, and still be
outlandish in its rates.

their willingness to do so. Any wo
man who has invented an article,

developed photographs, or has cred
itable work of industry io any line,
is included in this request. A collec

The swing bridge across Tionesta
creek, which was erected by Wm.
Lawrence for his own convenience,
is a private affair but at the same
time he has no objection to its use 'or
the purpose intended, by any one
having occasion to cross the creek.
What Mr. Lawrence does seriously
object to however, is having the
bridge used as a trysting place for
lovesick men and maidens who have
been in the habit of going there to
plight their troth and incidentally to
swing and swing and swing. The
latter is hard on the constitution of
the bridge and Mr. Lawrence wants
it stopped.
Last Saturday afternoon a 14
year old son of Sol. Mitchlin of Ne
braska, in company with Mr. Mitch
lin's sister and two children started
to drive with a horse and buggy, to
Tiooesta. While coming down No
ble hill near the residence of Wm.
Hood, the harness gave way letting
the buggy npon the horse's heels
which frightened the animal into
running away. The occnpaols of the
vehicle were all thrown out with the
result that the boy had an arm bro
ken and the others were badly
bruised and shaken up. The buggy
was completely demolished but the
horse escaped injury.
Hon. Rasselas Brown, the old
eat and most highly respected mem
ber of the Warren county bar, died
at his home in Warren, Pa., at 9
o'clock on Friday morning. He was
born September 10, 1812, and dur
ing his long, energetic and useful life
he enjoyed, to an enviable degree, the
esteem and confidence of his fellow
members of the bar and the citizens
of Warren county alike. For many
years be was the senior member of
the widely known firm of Brown &
Stone ; his associate being Hon. C.
W. Stone. He was a life-long Dem
ocrat, and on that ticket was elected
Judge of his district. No man in
Warren county stood higher in tbe
estimation of his people than Judge
Brown.
Our citizens are considerably
worked op over the passage through
our streets of tbe load of nitrogly
cerine which exploded with such ter
rible effect on Thursday. Steps are
being taken to verify the facts as to
its transportation through the streets,
when the city authorities will be
called upon to ioterfere and bring
the responsible parties to punishment.
The ordinance provides for a heavy
fine and punishment, and tbe people
feel that it is time an example was
made of some one. Franklin News.
The above item calls to mind a fact
well known, that scarcely a week
passes that a load of glycerine is not
seen going through Tionesta, and it
is time the proper authorities took
some action looking to the suppress
ion of this dangerous practice.
Reuulon of the Old 63(1.
The annual reunion of the Eighty
third Regiment, P. V., was held at
Exposition Park, Conneaut Lake,
Thursday, August 22, 1895, and was
one of the most successful events of
the kind in the history of this famous
regiment. There were about 75 of
tbe "old boys" present. The meeting
was held iu Floral hall, Captain
Peter Grace, of Jamestown, N. Y.,
presiding at the business meeting.
Treasurer A. B. Edson reported a
fund of $13.90 in tbe treasury. Ex
Sheriff A. H. Burnett, of Mercer,
cnairmau ot toe committee of ar
rangements, explained the cause
which led to the cbauge of dates in
holding the meeting. Chautauqua
Lake was fixed on as tbe place of
meeting for the next three years, and
tbe la6t Tuesday in August the date
for holdiog the same.
The election of officers followed
and resulted : President, J. E. Swap,
of Erie; first vice president, M. J.
Olds, of Erie; second vice president,
D. S. Collet, Guy's Mills; treasurer,
A. B. Edson, Meadville; secretary,
D. B. Foote, Wattsburg ; chaplain,
Colonel D. C. McCoy, Meadville.
There was some little trouble in
securing the proper person for tbe
latter place, as no ministers were
present who belonged to tbe regiment
Colonel McCoy, on being elected,
thanked his comrades and congratu
lated them on tbe fact that, from
what he knew of tbe Eighty-third in
this line, there would be few present
at tbe religious services of the reg
iment. After some other routine business
the old soldiers, their wives aod fam
ilies repaired to the steamboat laud
ing and took a trip around tho lake
on the steamer Iriquois. The ride
was complimentary on the part of
the chief officer, President Grace,
who received u vote of thanks and
three cheers from his old comrades.

Death of Mr. Charles Holmes.
Charles Winslow Holmes died at
his home iu Norristown, Pa., on
Monday afternoon, Aug. 26. Al
though he had been iu ill health for
about a year and bad been failing
quite rtpidly lately yet it was not

lace, Curtis & Co. of Philadelphia,
at one time tbe largest foreign ship
pers of crude oil. He was married
in 1871 to Miss Annie E. Derr, who
with one daughter, a young lady, are
left to mourn their loss.
Mr. Holmes was a man of kind
and gentle disposition and pleasing
manner, in busiuess honorable and
upright, in bis associations courteous,
his honor and integrity were never
impeached. A friend to all, he bad
many friends.
For many years he was a member
of the Central Presbyterian church
of Norristown and was a consistent
active worker. He was especially
identified with tbe Sunday school of
his church and with the Young Men's
Christian Association to the interests
of which be devoted much of his
time. Truly a good man bas goue to
his reward.

J. E. B.
Shot his Antagonist.
A dispatch to the Derrick from
Pittsburg, dated Aug. 24, says : J. R.
Riddle and Marion Jarrard, two
pumpers in the employ of tbe South
Peon Oil company, engaged in an
altercation at 7 o'ciAck this morning
at Manningtoo, W. Vs., when tbe
former drew a revolver and shot Jar
rard iu the stomaeh, death eosuiog
within ten minutes. Riddle at once
gave himself up and was takeu to
Fairraouut and lodged in jail. Jar
rard was only married about six
months ago. Tbe cause tbat led to
the tragedy oould not be learned, but
the coroner's inquest, which is to be
held this evening, is expected to
throw some light on tbe deplorable
affair."
The foregoing is believed to have
reference to James Riddle, a former
Tionesta boy, whose initials are the
same. The outcome of the unfortu
nate affair will be watched with much
interest by his former friends in this
place.

BLOWS TO ATOMS BT ULYCERISE.
Claude Ward, a Former Tionesta Boy,
the Victim of an Awlnl Explosion.
Claude Ward, a young man who for
merly lived with his parents In Tionesta,
and who la well and favorably remem
bered by many of our citizens, waa blown
to atoms by an explosion of nltro-glyeer-Ine
on Thursday of last week, about two
miles from Franklin, on the Bully Hill
road.
Tbe young man has been employed
sinee April, of this year, by A. O. Har
per A Co., ot Oil City, as a mixer of the
explosive at the factory at Kane city, and
also as an oil well shooter. He was 26
years old, steady in his habits and care
ful in handling the explosive. A batch
of the stuff was made at Kane city on
Vt ednesday and on Thursday Waid was
sent with a wagon load to the Bully Hill
magazine. When he left the Kane City
factory he had on about 3O0 quats, and
made the trip of 15 miles over the rough
country and side-hill roads In saloty only
to be blown Into shreds within less than
100 feet of the magazine where it was to
be stored. The shock of the explosion
was terrific in its effects. A funnel-like
hole nine feet deep at tbe center and
about 30 feet across marked where the
wagon bad stood when the stuff let go.
or fully 200 feet on all sides of the
spot where the explosion occurred there
was not a leaf to be found on a single
tree, but fragments of hair, flesh, skin or
cloth were to be seen on many; and one
big chestnut tree, about 30 feet from the
hole in the ground, was daubed and
smeared to a height of 20 feet with blood
and hair from one of the horses and
earth thrown from the hole clear to
where the top had been torn off by the
explosion. Thirty feet away the disem-
bowled carcass of one of the horses, Its
neck twisted, its ears blown off and ap
parently every bone In its body broken
lay piled against a huge rock that had
stopped Its flight. Opposite and about
40 feet away was Its mate; its entire hind
quarters blown off and strewn about the
woods, and its intestines and stomach
hanging in fragments from the trees. In
less than a half honr from the time tbe
explosion occurred there were fully 300
people scouring the woods for some trace
of the driver. A bunch of hair no big
ger than a Bilver dollar was found In the
crotch of a tree. It was a portion of the
scalp of the unfortunate young man.
The crowd grew rapidly and with the in
crease of the searching party more of tbe
fragments of the body of the missing
man were discovered. Some kind soul
procured a small grape basket, lined it
with paper and as fast as tbe shreds
of human flesh were found tbey were
placed in this receptacle. A portion of
Bcalp, the palm of a hand and a few mus-
oles from the calf of the leg, with a frag
ment of a wrist joint were all, and
these were found scattered In the leaves
or hanging from limbs of the trees from
12 to 200 feet away from tbe scene of the
explosion. A piece of calico, of blue and
white stripes, a two-Inch piece of cloth
and a fragment of a blue handkerchief
were recognized as being portions of
Ward's apparel.
He was single and came here from
Corydon, near Salamanca, eight or nine
years ago with his stop-father, Mr. Brant,
and twin brother Clarence, who have
since moved back to Corydon, we be
lieve. Claude was a general favorite
with his young associates here, being a
big-hearted, good-natured and energetio
boy.
