place, three miles above Tionesta, on

fire on Friday last, together with

is estimated at four or five hundred
dollars.

a new line put up from Titusville

then be iu direct communication with
distant points, a privilege that we
have not enjoyed with the old line.
Tbe old line did very good service
between this place and Titusville, but

The oldest inhabitant will have
to scratch bis head a good while be
fore be can recall a greater downpour
of raiu than we had in this section
last Thursday evening. The storm
started in innocently enough, but be
fore it had spent its fury there were
abundant evidences that it had
rained. Yet with it all neither the
creek Dor ri.Ter at thi9 Point rBise,d t0
any perceptible extent, and the lum
bermen who were in high glee at the
prospect of a flood, were doomed to
disappointment. This immediate vi
cinity seems to have been near the
northern and eastern extension of the
storm.
8. D. Irwin Esq., who represen
ted Stow PobI at the National G. A.
R. encampment at Louisville, re
turned home Monday. He reports it
as tbe grandest event of the kind he
has ever witnessed, and is most en
thusiastic in bis praise of the recep
tion and open hearted hospitality ex
tended to the boys in blue by the
soldiers ana citizens ot Liouisvuie,
He think this encampment has done
wonders in the way of bridging the
chasam between tbe two sections. On
his return trip Mr. Irwin spent a day
very pleasantly in Cincinnati as the
guest of Mr. aud Mrs. H. Garlick.
Comrade Thos. P. Harry represented
the Hickory Post at the encampment,
and speaks in the same glowing terms
of the great hospitality shown them.
An aggregation consisting ot a
bear aud two Italians succeeded in
raising quite au excitement in town
early last Saturday morning. They
bad iust stopped at tbe corner of
Bridge and Elm streets, where the
bear bad becun his antics, and a
crowd had quickly gathered, com
posed mostly of children, one of
whom, the little daughter of A. M.
Doutt, was near enough to be reached
by the bear. He struck her with his
paw and threw her to the ground, but
was prevented from doing any bodily
harm by the vigorous yanking of the
rope which was bitcned in his nose.
The scare was a bad one, however,
for all, and resulted io a double-quick
hustle of the tbio to vamose the
town, upon orders from Sheriff Car
son. it is not likely that this scow
will strike Tionesta again very soon
A project is on foot to improve
the river road between Tubbs Run
and the old Jesse Dale place, a d ia
tance of about two miles. The plan
is to raise as much by private sub
scription as possible, and with what
Tionesta township is able aud willing
to do, it is believed an extra good
road can be built. O. W, Proper
and W. A. Grove have beeo circula
ting a potition, and in an incredibly
short time have received subscrip
tions amounting to considerably over
$500 right here in the borough. Res
idents and business men up the river,
in Hickory and Harmony townships,
are much taken with the idea and
have expressed a willingness to give
the project a good boost, and tbe pro-
babilities are that it will be a sure go.
If undertaken at all the work will be
well done.
President and vicinity seems to
have been right in the track of last
Thursday evening's storm. It is said
the terrific wind was accompanied by
thunder, lightning, bail and rain
covering tbe ground with debris and
laying waste fields of grain, demol
ishing fences and destroying timber,
fruit and shade trees and derricks.
Fallen timber mark the path of the
storm for two miles up Hemlock
creek, while the hillside opposite the
President hotel presents a sight
rarely seen in these parts. Trees two
feet in diameter were uprooted or
broken off. One of the derricks
supporting the ferry cable was blown
down and the cable broken. Much
credit is due Mr. E. E. Clapp, whose
prompt action in clearing the track
averted the delay of trains and pro.
bably a catastrophe.

Erie Annual Conference.
The annual meeting ol the Erie M. E.
conference, which has been In session In
Erie during the past week, closed on
Monday, Bishop John II. Vincent presid
ing. About 200 ministers attended.
The following were elected by ballot
as delegates to the Genoral Conference,
which meets In 1896 at Cleveland: Rev.
J. N. Fradenburg, Gieenrillei Rev. S.
If. Pratbor, Meadvllle; Rev. Dr. A. J.
Merchant, Sharon ; J. C. Schnftold, New
Castle ; R. S. Borland, Bustl, N. Y.
A resolution was adopted by a vote of
68 to 66, recommending that the General
Conference remove the five-year time
limit and give the Bishop power to re
turn a man from year to year, as he
sees fit. In connection with the idea
Bishop Vincent said : "When a man fits
the place and everything is working
smoothly for th. upbuilding of God's
Kingdom, I don't believe the Methodist
Church or any other church has a right
to stand In the way of Providence and
say he shall remain but two, three or
five years."
In the matter of admitting women as
lay delegates to the General Conference,
the vote stood 106 In favor to 32 against.
Eight delegates dodged and did not vote
at all.
A proposition was adopted by a large
majority to change tbe basis of minister
ial representation from 45 to 65. The ef
fect of this will be to give one minister
ial delegate to the General Conference for
every 65 members of the Erie Instead of
one for every 45, as at present.
By a vote of 71 to 64 a memorial was
adopted In favor of changing the proba
tionary system of the church so as to al
low pastors to receive probationers into
full membership at any time on recom
mendation of the leaders and stewards.
Methodists will reoognize and realize the
importance of this modification of the
system of receiving proposed members
into the church.

pointments for the different districts was

Soldiers' Reunion at Marienville.
The Express gives the following ac
count of the very successful reunion of
old soldiers, under the auspices of Wm
Wray Post, held in Marienville on Tuns
day of last week.
About 8 o'clock in the forenoon people
from the country commenced coming in,
and s little later the Tylersburg martial
band appeared and livened things up
with the kind of musio the old soldiers
like to hear. A brass band is not in it
with the drums and fifes on reunion oc
casions. The forenoon was given to
wolcoming the soldiers and their fami
lies, and at dinner time over four hun
dred persons enjoyed the free dinner
prepared. The parade was formed at
3:20 in the afternoon, with about one
hundred old veterans in line, followed
by tho P. O. S. of A. and citizens. The
line of march was to the grove back of
the school building, where a speaker's
stand and seats had been arranged
Comrade J. Albaugh, ol West Hickory,
was the first speaker, aud although not
on the bills and being called on unex
pectedly demonstrated that he was
speaker of ability and a man of thought
He was followed by Capt. S. A. Craig, of
Brookville, who made a very pleasing
address. The next speaker was Col. L.
Rogers, editor of the Kane Republican
who made an excellent address. These
three gentlemen were strangors to the
most of our people, but will be heartily
wolcomod to our town at any time iu the
future. Hou. 8. S. Towlor was the last
speaker, and the applause which greeted
his appoarauce on the platform aud
the close of his address showed that the
people of Marienville were proud of his
representation of the town on the list of
speakers. A free supper was served iu
the Smith building, aud a camp-fire iu
the Presbyterian church, at which songs
were sung and a number of camp-fire
talks made, closed the program of the
day. The reunion was a success, thauk
to the efforts of Wm. Wray Post and the
assistance of the people of the vicinity,

A Mississippi woman, who chews to

Pneumatic roller skates are talked of
as a means of accelerating the speed of
pedestrians. A movement on font of
that bind onght to be a decided go. It
would beat bicycles.
Never allow cows to drink water you
would not drink yourself. Milk fiom
common cows when grass fed contains
nearly 87 per cent, water. The cow has
no filter in her to purify wator and if the
water Is Impure the Impurity goes
straight into the milk. If a cow drinks
100 pounds of Impure water, 87 per oenU
impurities of that water will be found In
the milk.

He winds the spring by power obtained

The Gale veneering works, Warren's
largest wood working plant, changed
hands on Saturday by passing into the
control of a syndicate of local, Sheffield
and Williamsport capitalists who have
secured letters of incorporation, with a
paid up capital stock of $80,000. Tbe
plant was recently rebuilt, after the fire
in April last, and is fitted out with the
mot improved and finest machinery,
and 1b the best equipped establishment
for the manufacture of veneer in the
United States. It now has standing or
ders which almost equal the plants ca
pacity, and a great increase of business
may be looked for under the new man
agement.
Grape growers are taking heart over
the statement of Dr. Hunter MaGuire,
the celebrated Virginian surgeon and au
thority on appendicitis. They have af
fected to believe that the idea of this pe
culiar disease was caused from grape or
other seeds lodging in the vermiform ap
pendix has seriously interfered with the
consumption of tbe cheap and popular
fruit. It is said that many persons be
came afraid to eat grapes, white others
diligently crushed the pulp of the fruit
and rejected the seeds, which made the
process of eating very slow. In a paper
read before, ,'ie Virginia Medical Asso
ciation Dr. MaGuire said that In all the
operations he bad performed for appen
dictis be bad never Been a single grape.
tomato or cherry seed, and he added that
be was glad to make the statement, since
it might tend to allay the fears of the
public as to the supposed dangers arising
from eating these fruits. Appendicitis is
due to native inflamation, the cause of
which has never been discovered. Dr.
MaGuire's assertions are amptly borne
out by investigations of other noted phy
sicians and Burgeons who have failed to
find the presence of grape seeds or other
foreign substances when performing an
operation for appendicitis.
Talk of Another Railroad.
The following dispatch from Harris-
burg last Wednesday, which appeared in
several of the daily papers tbat came to
Reynoldsville, has given our people
something to talk about :
A charter was granted to the Reynolds
ville. Warren & Buffalo railroad com
pany, the road being 80 miles long, and
to run through the following counties:
Jetferson, Clearfield, Elk, Forest and
Warren. It will oonueut the central por
tions of McCalmont township, Jefl'eison
county, with the Dunkirk A Allegheny
valley railroad, near warren, several
of the incorporators are from Buffalo,
New York. Capital stock, ll.liOO.OOO. 8
B. Elliott, of Reynoldsville, Pa., U pres
ident.
A representative of tbe Star called at
the Bell, Lewis A Yates coal mining com
pany ofllce Monday to interview 8. B,
Elliott, the president of the proposed
new railroad, lie said the road would
certainly be built, and that two or three
corps of engineers are at work surveying
the proposed line, and further thau that
he sayeth not.
The Buffalo, Rochester it Pittsburg
owns, or has large Interest in, coal mines
In tbe neighborhood of Punxsutawney,
and as a natural result those mines got
the preference for cars, etc. Five years
ago the Bell, Lewis fe Yates coal mining
company secured a controlling interest
in the road in order to get a good car
supply and better shipping facilities.
After the failure of A. G. Yates the coal
oompauy of this plaoe lost control of the
road, aud has since been having diftlcul
ty in getting cars to fill their orders,
The new road will give the Bell, Lewis
& Yates company a shipping outlet
north independent of the Buffalo, Roch
ester fc Pittsburg road. The Reyuolds
ville A Falls Creek tracks will be used
from this place to Falls Creek, aud the
new road will bo constructed from that
place to Warren. When the now road is
built a larger output of ooal from the
mines at this place will be the result.
The construction of this road will be a
itreat benefit to Reynoldsville, as this
will be the terminus of the mail. It c-a
not be -oiitrurtHl too soon, and the .sir
hopes it will not prove to lie only rail
road talk, but that by this time next year
the iron horse will be heard snorting
along the valleys between Rcyuoldsville
and Warren. The route has been sur
veyed several times, aud two years ago
the probabilities of building the road
were UlcusseU. iceynuiaatnue mtir.
