-The quantity of bituminous coal
in the harbor at Pittsburg is being
daily added to, and the number of
bushels ready to go down to the
southern markets is variously esti
mated at from 30,000,000 to 35,000,-
000. When it is known that Tio
nesta creek and the Clarion river
furnish nine-tenths of the boats in
which this great output of coal is
transported to the lower markets, it
is easy to understand what an impor
tant factor tho coal industry is to the
prosperity of this section.
Our exchanges are making a
mistake in printing this paragraph :
The five-year limit has been abol-

eral Conference. At the session of

ence to make the two changes above

The new road along the river be-

Saturday T. D. Collins met a number
of those who have given the project
most attention, and made a survey of
good share of the territory over
which the new road is to pass. He
was very favorably Impressed with
the enterprise, and believes that
splendid road can be built at a cost
of less than 2,000, and that it will be
of inestimable value to all who have
occasion to travel it. Messrs. Grove
and Proper have now upward of $700
subscribed and expect to raise it to
thousand or more before they quit,
aud as the township road commission
era seem disposed to do their full
share toward it, there is every reason
to believe that the road will be speed

Tionesta never witnessed a more
frightful storm thau that which pass
ed over this section last Thursday s
few minutes before noon. Heavy
black clouds swooped down from the
north and northeast until they seem
ed to be scraping the very grouud,
and the darkness which settled upon
the earth was so dense that lights had
to be lit indoors. In a few min
utes the storm broke in all its fury,
aud it looked at one time as though
it would make a clean sweep of the
town. Rain came down in great
sheets, and in a jiffy the streets were
flooded. A number of shade and
fruit trees in different portions of the
town were twisted and blown down
likewise some awnings aud signs
Aside from these no special damage
was done, except possibly to the
nerves of some of the more timid
ones.

Tracer Lindner Horribly Mangled and
Instantly Killed on the Logging
Railroad
An acoideot occurred on the log
ging railroad of Collins & Co. at Ne
braska, Pa., shortly after noon on
Thursday last by whioh Tracey Lind
say lost his life in a shocking man
ner. For some time he had been en-
engaged as one of the brakeraen on
the road. The cars on this road are
drawn up the valley of Little Coon
creek by an engine, the distance be-
ng from five to six miles, where they
are loaded and run to the creek pond
by gravity, each car needing a brake
roan. Shortly after the severe storm
on Thursday five heavily loaded cars
started from the woods, in the follow-
ng order: Lindsey first, John Gould
second, John Young third, A. J.
Small fourth, and R. W. Guiton filth.
The track being wet the cars were
hard to manage. At the skidway
where tbe cars are loaded is a heavy
grade of some rods. Both brakes are
set until the cars are over this grade,
when a stop is made and the from
brake loosened. Mr. Small had
reached the foot of the grade and was
off his car attending to this duty.
Mr. Guitun's car was slipping a good
deal and he was unable to stop it,
and as Mr. Small got back on his car
Guiton's car struck it, knocking
Small back onto the rear car, thus
leaving his car without a brakeman
and he was unable to overtake it.
Young and Gould, who were ahead
of the runaway car, saw their dan
ger in time to save their lives, but
Lindsey, being on the bead car, and
on the lookout for fallen trees after
the storm, evidently did not see his
danger in time to leap from tbe car.
Hurrying on down tbe track some
few hundred yardB, the men were
horrified at what met their gaze.
There lay the unfortunate victim, his
head completely severed from tbe
body, both legs crushed and one arm
nearly cut off above the wrist. No
one had seen the accident, which hap
pened but a few feet below Ed, De
woody'a barn, which stands near tbe
track at Foxcreek, aod it is reasoned
that Lindsey was unable to bear the
approachiug cars on account o' the
wet track which seems to muffle the
sound. The cars left the track some
distance below where they were bad
ly wrecked. The accident was one
which, it would seem, do human
agency could have prevented.
Tbe remains were taken up and
tenderly cared for by the men, and
after breaking the news to his young
wife, they were conveyed to his home,
which is not far from the villiage of
Nebraska. The shock to his wife was
awful, and can better be imagined
than described. On Saturday morn
ing last tbe funeral was held, the in
terment taking place at Scotch Hill,
Clarion county, bis former home
He was aged about 24 years, aod
had been married about a year and a
half, tbe wife with a babe of about
five months, surviving.
Coroner Dr. Morrow went up on
Saturday morning, but, learning all
tbe facts in the case, did not deem it
necessary to bold an inquest.

Boyd M. Jones, one of the pioneers
of this county, died at his home in
Nebraska, on Saturday, Sept. 21,
1895, after an illness extending over
several months. Mr. Jones had been
n the employ of T. D. Collins for
upward of 35 years, having removed
with him to Nebraska from Beaver
Valley, where the latter lumbered
xtensively for many years. He was
always a hard worker, an industrious
citizen ; honest in his dealing with
his fellowrueu, whose respect and es
teem he bore in a high degree. He
was born iu Northumberland county,
Pa., and came to this section when
quite a young man. In September,
186 1, he entered the U. S. service as
a private iu Co. B, 2d Pa. Cavalry,

death, and under whose auspices be
was buried at East Hickory, Pa.,
Monday, Sept. 23. 1895. Mr. Jones
was aged about 66 years, and leaves
wife and several children, all
grown, besides a large circle ot

GEORGE 8. LACY.
Pittsburg papers of last Friday
chronicle the death of George S.
Lacy, Esq, which occurred at bis
residence, 52 Pennsylvania Ave., Al
legheny, Thursday evening, at 5
o'clock, Sept. 19, 1895. The cause
of bis death is not stated. The fu
neral took place on Saturday, inter
ment at Erie, Pa.
Mr. Lacy was at one time among
the most prominent lumbermen of
this county, having at an early date
established the lumbering plant at
what was then known as Lacytown,
now Nebraska, the firm being then
Hall & Lacy. They were succeeded
by Green & Gordon at Nebraska,
and Mr. Lacy transferred his opera
tions to Golioza, five miles up Big
Coon creek, where for a number of
years he was connected in the lum
ber business with S. A. Ford as Ford
& Lacy, afterwards being succeeded
by his two sons, George J. and F. C.
Lacy, when he took up his residence
in Allegheny, where he remained in
active business up to the time of bis
last illness. His was a busy and
honorable career. As an employer
of labor be was respected nod greatly
esteemed by the poor people in tbe
early days of this neighborhood, and
his dealings with them we never
heard questioned ; in him the honest
toiler always had a friend, Mr.
Lacy leaves to survive him two chil
dren, Mrs. Stranahan of Erie,
Pa., and Fred. C. Lacy of Allegheny.
To Improve the Allegheny,
A circular sent out by three of the
leading citizens of Tarentuin, Pa., calls
attention to the interest that is being
manifested In the improvement of the
Allegheny river by building dams and
slackwatering it so that largo boats can
traverse it during the entire year. Tbe
circular refers to tbe efforts that Con
gressman W. A . Ktone has been making
to bring about this improvement. It
suggests that the officials of towns all
along the valley call meetings aud bave
committees of influential men appointed,
to confer with similar committees from
the other towns, (or the purpose of form
ing a perlect organization.
J. W. Hemphill, president of tbe Ta
rantula committee, says that representa
tives of that committee will attend the
meetings, if desired, and explain the
movement in detail.
