James Fredickson, Tionesta's fash ionable mereliaHt tailor, has beeu hav ing a nice run of custom since he moved into his new and comfortable quarters on Elm street. Mr. Fredrickson always has a fine line of samples to seloct from, does his work in elegant style and his prlci are very moderate when quality of goods and workmanship is considered. The lecture of Mrs. Mary E. Lease at the court house last Friday evening was attended by a fairiy largo and very ap preciative audience. Tho W. R. C, through whose efforts our people had the pleasure of hearing this gifted lady ora tor, hud very prettily deooratod the ros trum with flags and bunting, making the room look very cheerful. At ihe last moment the spouker's subject, "Signs of tho Times," was changed to "Ireland, her Warriors, Poets and Statesmen," and we are not sure but this was a mistake, for the audience, while very .attentive and apparently wonderfully interested, seemed considerably disappointed at not having heard "what they expectod to." As has beeu said times without number, Mrs. Lease is surely a wonderful woman. Her oratory, language and style, are all elegaut and charming, giving her at all times the closest attention of her hearers. Her tribute to Ireland, the country of her lorefatheis, could scarcely be im proved upon. Many embraced the op portunity givcu to shake hands uud per sonally converse with her alter the close of the lecture. TOU AM TOUR FK1ENDS.

Jointer In a Slilnglo Mill Itiirsts.Sont tering Flying Missiles in nil Hirer Hons, ana Probably Fatally Injuring One Man, A frightful accident which may yet re sult fatally to one man occurod at the limbering town of Parrish, on tho T.V. railroad, in Jenks township.shortly after the noon hour on Monday of this weok. The accident happened in the shingle mill conducted by George OifTord, and was tho result of the bursting, or flying to pteces,of the shingio jointer while rim ing at a terrific speed. The mill has been running night and day, and two crows of five men each are employed. One crew had Just come on and the other had not yet left the building, thus mak- ng ten men who were in the mill at Ilia me. Work for tho afternoon ha not yet begun, although the machinery was In motion when the explosion of the joiuler took place, pieces of which struck the shingle saw bursting it Into fragments, and in an Instant the whole Inside of the uilding was a mass of flying missiles. A man by the name of James Daniels, one of the firemen, was struck on the forehead by a piece of the saw, crushing his skull and inflicting injuries which is physiciaus fear may proye fatal. Mr. Daniols was removed and taken to the Kane hospital. Ho is a married man and lives near Sugar Grove, Warfcn Co. Mr. Gifford, proprietor of the mill was njnred, though not seriously. John K. Young of Seybrook, Warren county, tho other fireman, had one of his arms Injured near the elbow, Ho went to his home shortly after tho accident. Tho wondor of those present aud all who have viewed ilio wreck since, Is that any escaped with their lives, us the whole uside of the mill seems to have been irn to pieces.

Slock Taking Sacrifice Sale Last Wednesday evening was tho oc casion of the annual joint installation of the newly elected officers ol Capt. Geo. Stow Post. No. 274. G. A. R., and tho auxiliary, W. R. C, No. 137. 'I ho instal lation ceremonies were held in A. O. U. W. hall, which is the regular meeting place of the Post and Corps, and about one hundred and fifty guests and mom bers were present. The installation ceremonies com monced at 8 o'clodk, the officers of tho Corps being first Installed, Mrs. Harriet J. Cumings of Tidiouto acting us install ing officer. Mrs. Comings has had much experience In this line of work, and as tho members of Corps 137 tako great pride in their Corps-room work as well as their outside work, it goes without saving that the odicers wore installed without a hitch or drawback and were thoroughly enjoyed by all, and the spec tators wero profuse in their compliments to the ladies who took part In the exercises. After tho installation of the Corps olll- cers a short intermission was held and the time was taken up by singing by tho choir, a solo by Rev. Buzza and a recita- tation by MiBS Kathleen Joyce, tho pop ulr teacher of the primary department of our borough schools and an elocutionist ot considerable note, which wore enjoyed by those present. The assembleago was agaiu called to ordor and the officers of the Post were In stalled by Capt. H . II. Cumings of Tldi oute. It is unnecessary to giveadescrip- Hon of this Impressive ceremony as It is more or less familiar to all our readers Suffice it to say that although it is over thirty-three years since any of those brave veterans bore arms in defense of old glory, many of them still retain their military bearing and went through thoir parts like tho true soldiors which thoy are. Then came the "chewing match," and in this part of the program all proved themselves thoroughly competent, and judging from tho mustorly manner in whioh each and overy one performed his part it was clearly evident that thoy had done much rehearsing, and, as is fie quontly the case with actors, some "over did themselves." It is unnecessary to go into details about this feature of the evening's entertaiumon, as all know the inevitable result of an occasion of this kind when it is superintended by the W, R. C. Afior the elaborate banquet came the camplire, with speeches, music, songs and recitations. We would like to make persons! mention of those taking part in tho campfi re, but space will not permit at this time. The annual installation and banquet ot the Post aud Corps is a rare treat, and is looked forward to with pleas ure and expectancy by all who have boon fortunate enough to receive an invitation to ODe of these delightful gatherings. Resolved, ThHt all persons accepting a place on the ticket should support the whole ticket, and if they do not do so are not ent'tled to the support of tho Repub lican party. Unanimously carried.
