There Is a great demand for buck
wheat throughout Morcer county. For
the past fow weeks speculators and own
ers of flouring mills have been going
tli rough the county quietly buying up
the crop of buckwheat in the field and
paying tho larmors one-half of the value
of the grain cash down, offering to pay
the present market value when the crop
is harvested and measured. The farmers
take this as an indication that the
price will be high this year, and those
who havo not already sold aro driving
some sharp bargains.
Referring to a fool story that has
boon gonorally circulated In this section,
and that had excited more peoplo.accord
ingly, than did tho firing on Fort Sump'
ter In '01, tho Clarion Jacksonian says :
"The campaign and fish Btory liar has
beon completely knocked out by the mis
erable contortion of tho truth lhat has
been traveling over the country for the
past week. We mean the story about
the man who undertook to shoot the Al
mighty and was turned into stone. The
scene of tho occurrence was originally
placed nearShannondale, then near Sum
niervillo, but k is now some place down
in Armstrong county. Tho origluator of
tho story does not seem to bo known and
the reason for telling such a story would
bo hard to find. It is enough to say there
is no truth in it whatever."
-The latest horse-stealing caso is re
ported from Clarington, this county.
Wednosday night of last week a bay
horse, weighing about 1100 pounds, with
ono white hind foot, and the right fore
foot slightly pigeon-toed, was stolen from
IT. S. Goble, together with a buggy and
harnoss. As soon as the discovery of the
theft was made a number of citizens from
that place started in pursuit of the thief.
They tracked the rig to tho vicinity ol
Tyiorsuurg wliere lurther tracing was
impossible owing to the travel and inter
ference of othor vehicles obliterating the
stolon rig's tracks. Here the pursuing
party separated, each taking different dl
rections, but at last accounts no capture
had been mado, and it is probable that
the thief or thieves have made good their
escape with their booty. Thefts of this
kind are becoming so frequent of late
that it seems some systematic organiza-
tion for breaking up the gang which is
working al it, should be speedily devised,
aud the perpetrators brought to bay.

diaries Lerpr-r Killed in Railroad
Wreck.
A terrible railroad collision, one of tho
worst In many years occurred at 12:2.r on
Fr.day morning last, on the tracks of the
Denver A Rio Grand and the Colorado
Midland railways, two miles wost of
Now Castle, Colorado, In which Charles
Leeper, of Clarion, Pa., and well known
throughout this section of c untry, was
one of the unfortunate passengers to lose
his life. Robert W. Schotts, of Tylors-
burg, Pa., was also on the train, but was
not killed, though receiving severe
bruises.
It is reported that at least thirty lives
were lost and nearly two hundred per
sons more or less seriouHly in urrd.
many of whom will die. The wreck was
caused by a head-end collision between a
Denver A Rio Grand passenger train run
ning at tho rato of 40 miles an hour and a
special Colorado Midland stock train,
running at a speed of probably 30 miles.
So terrific was the concussion that both
engines, baggage and express cars,
smoker and dny coachos and two stock
curs were totally demolished, and tho
track torn up for rods in both directions.
To add to the horrors of the scene, the
wreck caught fire from an explosion of a
Pintsch gas tank on the passenger train
and burned so rapidly that many passen
gers pinned beneath the debris were
burned to death before help could roach
them.
Tho most generally accepted theory as
to t lie cause of the wreck seoms to be
that Conductor Ilnrbank, of tho Midland
special, anticipating the time of tho pas
senger, undertook to steal a station, and
beat the passenger Into New Castle.
Burbank escaped uninjured, and upon
orders Irom Coroner Clark has been
placed under arrest by the sheriff. Mid
land Engineer Ostrander is missing and
a thorough search all around his engine
fails to reveal any vestige of his remains.
It is thought that whon he saw his threat
ened danger he Jumped from bis engine
and, realizing his negligence, took to the
hills. Mr. and Mrs. E. II. Strous, who
live a quarter of a mile from the sceno of
the accident, report that when tne two
trains met the shock was bo great as to
literally hurl them out of bed. .
Mr. Leeper and Mr. Robert Shoots, of
Tylorsburg, interested with him in th
lumber business In Washington, started
for that point from Clarion on Monday
of last week, and they were on their way
thore whon the fatality occuned. Mr
Shoots telegraphed the sad news to Clar
ion and it was forwarded on to Mrs.
Leeper, who was attending the confer
ence at Oil City at the time.
Charles C. Leeper was born In Center
county, 63 years ago, and from a poor
boy he rose from comparative poverty to
affluence by his integrity and wonderful
energy, and at the time of his death he
had oil interests In Pennsylvania and
Ohio, coal interests in three states, and
was extensively engaged in the lumber
business In the south and west. When
lie was scarcoly ol ago he came to Clarion
county and engaged in the lumber busi
ness, his first work being on a boat scaf
fold on Tionesta creek a short distance
below Nouraska. Afterwards he located
at Tylorsburg, where he conducted
lumbering business extending over
many years, and where he laid the foun
dation lor Ins tortune. About 24 years
ago he removed to Clarion where he be
came associated in business with Mime of
the leading men of that town, and took
an active part iu all that had a teiuieu
cy to build up and enhance the interests
of the place.
Mr. Leeper is survived by his wife,
daughter of our townsman, Mr. John,
R. Stroup, and two sons, Clarenao C.
Leeper of Toledo, O., aud Harry of Sagl
now, Mich., both engaged In looking after
their father's interests in those cities.

has beon felt for a long time, and we are
glad to know that such a service Is soon
to be placed at the disposal of the busi

Chas. S. Leech, one of the conservative
and leading business men of Marien ville,
has Interested himself In tho project, and
has already secured enough signatures to
a stock company to Insure Its success.
A lino will be put up that will take in
the main business portions of thecounty,
reaching Marienville and points on the
P. A W. and T. V. railroads, Kane, Ty
lorsburg, Nebraska, Tionesta, the two
Hickories, and ultimately extend to
places along Tionosta creek. In fact the
entire county is to be "lined up" If suf
ficient encouragement is held out to the
company. A partial canvass of Marien
ville and Tionesta reveals the lact that
the citizens of these places are not slow
to see the benefits and conveniences to
accrue from this service as will be seen

Rev. C. ('. Rmnlterger.
Speaking of the departure of Rev.
Bamberger and family from East Brady,
the Review of that city pays this tribute
to the Doctor, a former popular pastor of
the M. E. Church of this plaot ;
Rev. C. C. Runiborger delivered his
farewell sermon In the M. E. church on
Sunday evening and on Tuesday left for
Oil City accompanied by his wife and
daughter, Miss Mary, to attend the an
nual conference of this district. Rev
Rumberger has been tho pastor of tho
church at this place for five years, the
longest ary minister has held the charge
and the longest term allowed any minis
ter of this denomination to remain the
pastor of one church. He has been a
power for good In this community and
there are hundred of people who feel the
most profound regret that ho must leave.
One of the strongest characteristics of the
retiring minister is his energy. He is
absolutely indefatigable ami his capacity
for work Is unlimited, which accounts in
the greatest measure for hissnccess. The
church has been built up in structure as
well as membership, and ho has left be
hind a reputation aud record that is ex
colled by none. A physician who had
given up a large practice to enter the
ministry, he rendered skillful assistance
to many poor and-need families in the
community, and wherever there was
sickness, outside of his congregation as
well as in It, there Dr. Rumberger was
found, and he always brought comfort
and hope and by his happy presence
drove away many a oloud that hung low
over a home. By old and young he will
be greatly missed, and by none so much
as those who enjoy the beauties of nature,
as his active mind found a vent In out-of-door
sports and recreation of various
kinds. His wile stands to tho Iront also
side by side with him In the grand work
that has been accomplished and we doubt
not that he will give the little lady who
has shared his lot most of the credit for
the success of his work here which she
deserves. Rev. and Mrs. Rumberger
and daughter, Miss Mary, will leave be
hind a larger number of friends, both In
and out of the congregation he so ably
presided over, than is generally the lot of
the average minister, and the kindest
wishes will follow them to their new
charge, wherever it may bo.
