Joseph Morgan has boon engagod during tho past week in making repairs to the boat house of the Oil City Boat club at Rockwood, which had sprung a leak some time ago. Tho boat had to be raised, put on the dry-dock, as It were, and calked from undorneath. If a craft of that description is Uxablo Joe's the one can do it right. Clarlngton, this county, has a crack ball team according to reports. 'I he Brookville Rejmblican of last week says : The Claiington base ball club again de- feated tho Sigol team Friday last by i score of 7 to 3. The feature of the game, from a Clarincton standpoint, was the fine pitching of Reardon and the timely hitting of Williams." Keep an eye out for him. The Lind- sey uy-ess says: a uogus paiem rigm man has been working his game in sev eral nearby towns. He sells county rights for a patent clothes ringer at very reasonable ratos, but the trouble is, ho has no right to sell. Ho found one vic tim in Puuxsutawnoy. A couple of Reynoldsville men were takon in, but got onto tho racket and got their money back before the rascal got out of town. The borough council received bids for lighting the streets, at its mooting lust Wednesday, from both gas compan ies. The bids woro as follows : Tionesta Gas Co., 30 cents per light ; Hoy Gas Co., 4'J cents. Tho furinor's bid being 19 cents the losser was awarded tho contract, which will run for iivo years. Tho coun cil is to be congratulated on securing such low rules, it being a saving of 45 cents per light from former rates, and it is a satisfaction to know that the interests of the borough are boiug carefully look ed after. Fifty cent neckwear at 25 rents. La dies' vests 8 cents. Men's hose 5 cents at Red Letter Rale.

It Scowden A Clark are turning out an other of those extra large wagons for the West Virginia oil fiolds on an order from Thomas Slerrett, who has already dispos ed of quite a number of Those heavy wagons. Amsler continues to cater to the pub lic In the line of fruits and vegetables in a way that brings him a fine trade. A nice supply of fresh goods always pleases the eye as woll as the palate, and that's what Frank has on hand dally. It The unsightly old seats In the W. N Y. A P. depot are beinj romoved and new ones placed In their stead. This Is a move in the right direction. Now if the company would build a presentable look ing depot around the now Beats they would have the thanks of the people. The plant of the Warren Extension Table company, located near Warren, Pa,, was destroyed by fire last Wodnes day night. The loss was about 65,000. on which there is said to be an insurance of ?13,000. The works were mainly owned by Warron capitalists, and manufactured tho Pickett extension tables and a lino of small centre tables. The loss Is a sorious blow to Warren industrial interests. The Free Methodist camp meeting. at Pleasantville, which began Wednes day and will close next Sunday night, has boon wonderfully woll attended, and the Interest has beon exceptions lly great throughout. On Sunday last tho attond- anco was estimated at 3,000 to 4,000 people, the rigs numbering something like 1600. This section sent over a large numbor, The order has been very good during the entire progress of the meetings. The gas engine at the mantle works was started last Saturday for the first time, and things moved off like clock work. Much of the machinery had boen placed in position, and all started off smoothly making a very protty sight Only a few (Jays more and the work of turning out the product ol the plant will be going on regularly. The second largo building will be finished in a short time, Wm. L. Thompson, of Nebraska, who has been engaged In the oil field about Cooper Tract, while taking out an engine block last Wednesday had the misfortune to cut his right leg severely at the sldo of the knee. By the glancing of the axe which he was using a gash several inches in length was cut, requir ing six stitches to bring the flesh togeth er. He is now at his home and will doubtless bo laid up for several weeks Mrs. Asa Miles of Fagundus was quite seriously injured about the head and snoulders last Sunday while coining down Babylon hill in a buggy. The hold back strap broke and tho horse commenced kicking.throwlng Mrs. Miles to the ground. She was brought to town and Dr. Magill rendered needed aid, and although her injuries seemed serious on account of blooding at tho ears and nose reports from her are positively favorable and satisfactory Tidioute News. Following is the list of officers of the Epworth League of the M. E. Church, elected last Thursday evening for the en suing term of six months: President, Clauda Graham ; First Vice Pres., Mrs. P. M.

Davis j Oi- ganist, Miss Maude Butler. Devotional services are held by tho League evory Sunday evening, one hour proceding service. Business meetings, first Mon day of each month. Last Wednesday whilo Mrs. Bort Brewster and Mrs. Fred McNaughtou of Nebraska were driving Mr. Brewster's horse down the hill road leading from Nebraska to Guitonville, the animal be came frightened and ran away. The hill is about a mile long and the horse was going at a furious rate. When he reached the place where the little railroad crosses the wagon road, by some mis-step the horse broke one of his hind logs near the ankle. This caused a halt, aud fortunate ly neither occupant of the buggy was at all Injured beyond a severe fright, the vehiclo keeping tho road wondorfully woll. Tho horso had to bo shot. Tho new fee bill passod by the recont legislature and which tho Governor saw tit to veto because of "unwarranted in creases," did not, in fact, increase the foes of constables, but tended more to make them uniform and more readily understood. In the present law, passed in 18U3, the language is so ambiguous that courts have dill'ored very materially in their construction as to what the fees really were. It was intoned in that law to mako the mileage of constables 10 cents circular, but many of the courts construed It to mean 10 cents direct, or 6 conts circular. The now bill inado it 8 cents circular. It was a measure that received a great deal of attention by the best talont in the legislature, and being designed to simplify aud correct tho blundtiriug in the act of '93, should have become a law. About this time of year you may loook out for many new suggestion from the smarter editors as to how tho wives should conduct their business in the household. Now here is a new one which is given for what its worth, and we won't vouch for its correctness a cent's worth, and if you try it and break all the jars in tho house, the "family jars" in eluded, wo rufuso to be responsible in anyway: -'As fruit canning is on again we wan't to remind the housewives that a good deal ol Iho work connected with that important duty can bo overcome. There is absolutely no use in heating the glass jars before pouring the hot fruit in to them. Simply tie a twine string to a silver pluted spoon or knife and place in tho cold jar and pour in your fruit, draw out your spoon and soul at one You won't break a single jar by this method, while many jars ure broken by tho old way. If you have never tried tho above plau, do so and you will be agreeably surprised.'' TOU AKI TOUR FR1KNUS. Miss Kale Hood is visiting Oil City friends. Mrs. L. J.
