Tramps are getting entirely too
numerous in these parts, scarcely a ;
day passing I hat does not see a w hole 1
drove of them in town. This sur
feit of bad rubbish' is accounted fur 1
by the fact that neighboring towns
are adopting means to rid themselves
of the nuisance, such as building
pens with stone piles for the gentry
to exercise their muscles upon, aud
it might be well for Tionesta to adopt
similar measures for their abatement.
A good "hmd-out" has no terrors for

The boarding house connected

Friday afternoon. The building was
so quickly consumed that very little
of the furniture or clothing was
saved, Mrs. Ilerrington losing fifty
dollars in mooey besides most of her
clothes. We are without particulars
as to cause of fire, or extent of Iocs.
The down passenger traio which
arrives here at 12:10 met with an
accident betweeo Irvioeton and
Thompson's that might have proved
serious, but which, fortunately only
resulted in an hour's delay of the
traio. A broken flange ou a wheel
of the hind truck of the smoking car
threw the trucks off the track, and
before tbe train could be stopped it
had run several lods on the ties,
bumping and jostling the passengers
promiscuously, and for a time creatiug
quite a pauic, but injuring no one.
The disabled car was left, and the
passengers transferred to the other
coach.
The statement has recently been
made in several Sunday papers that
Will Carleton is writing very little
nowadays, aud slays al home "nurs-

true with these exceptions: Mr.

more than over, has just published a
book of new poems, has a book of
prose nearly ready for the press, is in
perfect physical health, and has been
so almost interruptedly for the past
ten years. Mr. Carletou will deliver
two lectures during institute week in
this place, and should be heard by
all who can possibly make it conven

Orvie Metzger, a young man
aged 21 years met with a paioful ac

During his short stay in towu

with the place: "Behind J. Scott

We found Tionesta a pretty resideuce
town, built along the river, with one
street a mile and a half in length
lined with neat residences aud busi
ness places. The town has several
good hotels, (where the large crowd
of Marienville people who were down
attending court wete housed and well
fed and cared for), two good print-
iog offices, good stores, an excellent
carriage shop, and best of all for the
town the county buildings. The
court house, although not a new
building, is substantial aud comfurta
ble, and the contractors bave just
completed a very substantial jail and
sheriff's cesidence that cost the
county about $16,000 aud is a build
ing that every citizen and taxpayer
of Forest county cau poiut to aod
speak of with pride. In a week or
two we will print a cut and descrip
tion of the new jail. We had always
beard Tionesta spoken of as a 'sleepy
town,' but there were enough people
down from Marienville this week to
give tbe place some appearance of
lite, aud we enjoyed our snort visit.

We present to our readers this
ty Jail and Sheriff's dwelling.
an Adequate idea of the real proportions and dimensions of the
structure, it will serve to aid in
LOCATION OK THE 1IUII.UINII.
The structure is located about fifty feet
north of the Court Houho, and on a front
lino even with it, facing Elm street. It
is built of brick with stone trimmings,
and rests upon an excellent stone foun
dation. The Sheriff's dwelling Is ol a
fiine stylo of architecture, and presents a
splendid appearance both in respect to
beautv and solidity. The fail, which is
at the rear on the east side, is constructed
on the latest improved plans for prison
ers. All plana for institutions of the
character must be submitted to the State
Board of Charities for its approval, and
tho first plans submitted by the Commis
sioners were reiected. The plan of this
was accepted, and It is the only one of
the kind in the State, conforming to all
the requirements of heat, light and san
itation. So perfect is the plan in every
detail that not a single inch of room is
wastod, and the symmetry of the wholo
structure without and within must be
pleasing to the most aesthetic eye.
THE JAIL.
The jail proper is thirty-three feet eight
inches by forty-two feet eight inches,
and, save the iron bars that stretch across
the windows on the three sides, would
scarcely be thought suflioient to restrain 4
the characters that are at times confined
in a prison. But when one steps inside
the outer corridor of the jail his views
quickly change. The brick walls he saw
from the outside are only a kind of ve
neering, as it were, and have practically
nothing to do with keeping the prisoners
in. They might rather be thought of
as more to keep the prisoners' frierds
O'lt. Inside this brick enclosure, and
surrounded by a four foot corridor on ev
ery side, Is a large steel burglar-proof
cage, with upper and lower tiers. Each
tier has a corridor six by twenty-four feet
through the middlo from east to west, di
viding the large cage into six smaller
ones, three 011 each side. These smaller
cages are eight by fourteen feet and are
separated from each other by solid steel
partitions. This, as will be seen, gives
twelve cages six on each tier. The ends
of the cages next to the central corridor
are composed of steel bars, as are also
tho ends opposite; the partitions only
being solid. Tills affords light, air and
heat.
Tho upper tier is arranged a little dif
ferently. The outer corridor is removed,
thus giving more room in each of the cells,
which are closed in front giving more pri
vacy to the inmates. These upper cells
are intended for women and boys, and
prisoners that could not be classed with
criminals. The furnishing of these cells
are rather more comfortable and conven
ient than the others, to suit tho class of
prisoners that will be confined in them.
The upper tier is completely isolated
from the lower tiers by a thick
cement floor, thefloor of the corri
dor being composed of iron and glass
which admits light to the lower corridor.
The floor of the lower cells consists of
about eight inches of concrete, that is
harder to dig through than stone, and 011
top of this is a solid sheet of half-inch
steel. Water lor washing and drinking
purposes is supplied to each cell on the
upper tier, but in the lower it is fur
nished at the oml of the central oorridor,
and can only bo operated by an attend
ant. There is not a particle of wood within
reach of the prisoners in the lower tier,
evon tho bed or bunk is of iron, fastened
by hinges ou the partitions and swung
into position by chains. All the steel in
the jail is of the finest quality and is so
tempered as to defy the drill, file or saw.
The entrance to the jail is from the
south side next the court house, w here
one passes from a very neatly construc
ted porch into a small room known as
the Sheriff 'a reception room. From this
a large, heavy wooden door, with its
massive lock admits one into the outer
corridor of tho Juil, which is lour feet
wide and extends around the entire cage,
between it and the walls of the jail. In
to this corridor the prisoners are never
admitted, being used only by the at
tendants, from which they cau have a full
view of every part of each cagA and from
which also tho prisoners' meals are

served to them through apertures in the
bars. This entirely prevents the escape
of prisoners by overpowering tho jailer
and using his Keys, which so frequently
happens. A prisoner once placed Inside
the large cage is never outside of it, nor
does the keeper need to go inside.
The lock on the cage, or of the door of
the central corridor of the cage, is by no
means the least interesting part. The
locking apparatus, which la a r-omblna-
tion, Is at the one aide of the door en
closed in a small case. It is so arranged
that when the door of this case is closed
the door of the cage is locked and it can
not be unlocked nor opened until the
door of this case is opened. The door of
this case is also well locked thus pre
venting any one from meddling with it.
In this case there is also an arrangement
by which each cell door is opened or
locked, so that there is never any occa
sion for any .one to enter the corridor,
which being 6x24 feet, furnishes abund
ant space in which the prisoners may
take exercise. A stairway leads up from
the Sheriff's reception room to a landing
at the entrance to the corridor of the up
per tier of cells, which is 28 ft. 10 by 38
ft. 2.
THE SHERIFF'S DWKLI.INO.
The Sheriff's dwelling faces Elm street,
and is entered through a handsome
porch that opens into a large hall. This
hall leads back to the Sheriff's reception
room, hot is shut off from it by a door,
ho that the jail and dwelling are practi
cally separate.
To the right, upon entering the hall, a
door opens into a parlor eleven feet six
Inches by fourteen feet two inches. To
the left is the dinning room fourteen feet
by fifteen feet five inches, and hack of
this, on the east side. Is a kitchen twelve
feet one inch by thirteen feet two inches,
floor of hard maple, with a large pantry
attached. Leading up to the second floor
is a handsome stair case of easy ascent
with banisters and posts all of hard-wood
and beautifully finished. On the second
floor are four commodious and wll
lighted chambers and a bath room. Iu
the attic are two more bed rooms of good
size and pleasant. The wood work in
side is of Georgia pine throughout, nat
ural grain, with highly polished hard
finish. Tbe basement, which is large,
contains a laundry thirteen feet six
Inches by twenty-eight feet ten inches,
with water attachments, and tbe furnace,
of the latest and best make, with which
both jail and dwelling are heated. Nat
ural gas is used for heating purposes and
city water is used throughout the build
ing.
The 4 rounds around bave been graded
and terraced, and walks of Cleveland
stone bave bsen laid.
Altogether this new addition to the
county buildings presents a most pleas
Ing appearance. Architecturally it Is a
real ornament, and a credit to'tlie county.
As a place in which prisoners may bo
kept in security and receive humane
teatmenl it meets with all the require
menu of the nineteenth century prison
reforms, and it is so substantially built
with the very best of available material
of the kiud used that it will stand for
generations.
Tbe total cost of the entire structure,
including the grading of the grounds,
walks, etc., will not exceed 116,000.
The erection of a new Jail bad become
an absolute necessity, and had been rec
ommended by many grand juries. Last
winter tbo present board of County Com
niie sioners set about to obtain plans and
make preparations for it. After careful
investigation they accepted the present
plans, and tbe beautiful, substantial and
serviceable structure that has just been
finished proves tbe wisdom of their
course.
The contract ttr the construction ol
the building was let to the Van Dorn
Iron Works Company, of Cleveland,
Ohio, and by that company was sub
let to W. L. Corriii, of Oil City. Mr
C. has faithfully performed bis work,
and to the minutest detail has fulfilled
the exacting requirements of the original
plana and specifications, the result being
the completion of a jail which, competent
judges declare, surpasses anything of the
kind iu the State.
