The largo farm barn of P. C. Walters,
located ou what is known as tho old Wm.
McKinley place, at Stewarts Run, was
totally destroyed by lire on Tuesday
night of last week. The fire was discov
ered by neighbors about 10 o'clock at
night, and was then so far advanced that
it was impossible to save any of the con-,
tents. Tho barn was about Utix 10 feet in
dimensions, and had just been reshingled.
Nearly all of Mr. Walters' summer's
crop ol hay and gruiu was stored in the
building, together with all his farm
machinery, including reaper, mower,
rake, plow, harrows, a new wagon,
sleighs, etc., all of which were consumed,
entailing a loss of nearly $J,IHM), on which
he had an insurance of $S00, through the
agency of t M. Arner.
It is supposed the fire caught from a
fire that had been Blurted by some one
who had roasted some corn near tho barn,
charred billets of wood am) a number of
ears of coru having been discovered
within 10 or 1 feet of the building, aud
the indications were that too lire hud
been communicated by dry weeds that
had boen cut a few days pluvious. Care
lessness of this kind umounls to almost
vandalism, aud it may prove a serious

Mention was made In last week's Rb-
rtini.K'At of the theft of James E. Gaul's
horso, from his stable throe miles north
of Marionville, on the night of the 17th
inst. Mr. Gaul Is again in possension of
his horse as i result of a little clever detec
tive work on tho part of Oil City and
Tionesta parties.
On Tuesday nigh of last week a horse,
harness and wagon wore stolen from V.
S. Sutton near Conperstown, Venango
county. Wednesday morning between
6 and 7 o'clock a young man about 20
yeaisold came to the livery barn rtf
Hooker Dale at Oil City and asked to
have his horse, a fine looking animal, fed.
He stated that he would call for it in an
hour. When tho young man returned
ho was completely metamorphosed and
wore a lino suit of clothing. His con
duet had already aroused Mr. Dale's sus
picions, and he began to question his pat
ron. After several moment's conversa
tion the liverymen, with the intent of de
laying tho ftranger, proposed a horse
trado and much to his surprlso one was
consummated in very? short order, Mr.
Dale exchanging a poor horso and rig
and n chock for $.10 for an outfit worth at
least $200. The young man took the
check and started over tho river to have
it cashed. Iu the meantime Mr. Dale
telephoned the bank to refuse payment
of the check and then followed the
stramzer, whom he found at Fred Lsm
mers' clothing store, where he had pur
chased a suit of clothes and Mr. Lammers
had cashed the $30 cheek. About this
timo the young man, who by the way
had given his name as J. W. Wilson, be
gan to grow suspicious and mado several
trip" to tho depot, where he Inquired
about the trains for up the river, and at
3;30 Wednesday Bfternoon boarded one of
them.
Mr. Dale called upon Chief of Police
Timlin to arrest Wilson, but whon they
enterod tho car they failed to Identify the
young man. A telephone message was
sent to Liveryman Ca'ifiold of Tionesta
and on the arrival of the 4:19 train Sher
iff walker was on hand and arrested Wil
son, who was identified as Theodore
Kocnig, of Iiyrointown, this county. He
was placed iu jail, and is now hold for
the theft of Mr. Gaul's horse.
Mr. Sutton has identified the outfit left
at Dele's livery stablo, horse, harness
and buggy, as his property and has taken
it away.
On Saturday last Koenig admitted to
Sherilf Walker that he bad stolen Mr,
Gaul's horse, and gave him directions
where the animal could be found, which
was near New Castle, Pa. Mr. Gaul and
Constable Canlield left immediately, and
on Sunday night returned with the horse
and rig. Koenig had traded for another
outfit receiving some "boot" money
He claims to have traded this outfit for
the one belonging to Mr. Sutton. Koenig
gives his age as 17 years past. He has
youthful and not unfavorable appearance,
and says be has no parents nor brothers
or sisters living. On Monday he was
brought bofore 'Squire Setloy for a hear
ing which ho waived and was remanded
to jail to await the (Imposition of the court
at November sessions.

Iu tho court minutes published in the

tho following :
The Judge ordered tho sherifl' to bring

took a scat between the sheriff and his
deputy. He looked pale and nervous
and evidently expected to be sentenced
to die. In fact, he told his attorney, E.
J. Winimer, that he had given up all
hope. The Judge read his opinion and
cited numerous precedents to substan
tiate him iu the action he was to take in
granting him a new trial. He said that
ho erred in admitting the testimony of
the prisoner taken at the Collier's in
quest at Tionesla at the trial, and under
the circumstances could do nothing else
than grant another trial. The prisoner
did not understand the remarKs of the
Court, and it was not until his attorney
iuformod him that he realized that he
was to have another chance for his life,
He was conducted back to the jail, aud as
was to bo expected is iu vory exuberant

Gone, yes she has gone and left us,
In this world of pain and woo.
Gone to join tho hosts of Heaven,
Where eternal pleasures flow.
She has passed death's peai ly portals,
Passed the sentry at the gate,
Passed into lif elysian.
Where attending angels wait.
Happy they who've passed death's portals,
Happy all who've gone beforo,
Death ui but the open gateway
To the joys of Heaven tho door.
