Forest county paid into the State
treasury, as shown by the figures com
piled for 1895, tho sum of 81,791.93, and
roceived back from the state 810,030.42.

which support the state government, and
of which the largor part is roturned to
the counties in the way of appropriations.
comes largely from corporations and
those having money at iutorest, aud that
are able to pay. But one county in the

into the Stnto treasury than it receives
therofrom.

The dwelling of the widow Knapp,
who lives about a mile beyond New
niansville, in Clarion Couuty, burned
to
tho ground last Wednesday forenoon
She and hor youngost daughter lived to
gothor in the place and were washiug,
and it is supposed that the fire was caused
form tho overheated stovepipe and had
gained considerable headway before be
ing discovered. J. R. Osgood and J. R,
Lawrence drove past at this time and the
young woman was on the root pouring
water on tho fire, which was so far ad
vanced then that the roof was about
ready to fall, and they had considerable
difficulty in keoping hor away as she had
become frantic with excitement. Every
effort was then turned toward saving the
iroods on the first floor, but little was
gotten out and about all Mrs. Knapp'
possessions wore destroyed. Thore was
no insurance, so the loss was total.

ber of the First Illinois regiment, which
was before Santiago when that Cuban
stronghold surrendered to Gen. Shatter,
and he knows something of the trenches
and rainy season of that country. But,
like a good soldier, he has no complaints
to make of the hardships which they
wero obliged to endure, having expected
to go up against a pretty tough seige
when he was mustered into the sorvice,
He says the most of the kicking comes
from those who evidently were expecting
picnic or si mmer's pleasant outing
and not from those who enlistod for real
war. He la looking thin and browned
but is picking up rapidly, His regiment
will doubtless be mustered out before
their furloughs expire.
Confession ot One of Carter's Murderers
According to the Derrick of yestorday
the mystery surrounding the foul mur
der of George W. Carter, whilo sitting
in the kitchen at his home near Rynd
Farm, on Oil Creek, reading a paper on
tho niuht of Aug. 10 last, bids fair to be
unraveled in the near future. Detectives
have been at work on the case since Aug
18, and have succeeded iu getting a con
l'ession out of Georgo McKay, a lad of 17
whoso father is a respocted resident of Oil
City. Young McKay's story is to tho ef
fect that he and Walter Wheaton, a young
man of 22 years, formerly employed
Oil City, stole a 10 calibre shot gun from
a man by tho name of Andorson, went to
the Carter home, and between 9 and 10
o'clock at night Whoaton fired the shot
through the window that killed Carter,
After that they hid the gun under the
sidewalk near the W. N. Y. A P. track
at Cornplantor Run, and continued thoi
journey to Franklin. On the Saturday
following they returned, got the gun aud
sold it to a Franklin junk dealor. This
furnished one of the main clues to their
detoction. Having been arrested some
days afterward they wcra confined in
Franklin ail. whore young McKay was
induced, by close questioning, to make
clean breast of the matter, and going over
the grounds with the officers and detail
ing the horrible tragedy from start to fin
Ish. Ilia Btorv is corroborated by much
other evidence since brought to light,
The motive was robbery and revenge
Carter and Wdeaton having had troublo
some time before in which Wheaten got
the worst of it. The case will be tried at
tho November term of court.

Oil City and Yictnity C. E. Convention.
As was annoanced in last week' issue,
the fall convention of the Oil City and vi
cinity Christian Endeavor Society met in
the Presbyterian church of this place last
Friday afternoon and evening. It it
agreed upon by those who attended that
this was decidedly the best and most
spiritual convention ever held by this
.Society. Desnite the rainy weather, del
egates began to arrive Tbursdey evening
and continued to coma during the next
day till the special train from Oil City at
7:45 p. m. brought the last of the dele
gates. Although the delegation was sot
as large as has been at other conventions,
yet all who came seemed to be earnest in
purpose and willing to do what they
could for the good of the convention. The
Tionesta society, never behind in their
part of the work, had made all necessary
preparations for the entertainment of
their visitors, and had tastefully decora
ted their church with flags and flowers.
A beautiful C. E. monogram of cut flow
ers above the pulpit attracted much at
tention and received flattering comments.
The aftornoon meeting was presided over
by the r astor of the church, Rev. J. V.
McAninch, who also conducted the devo
tional exercises, and, in behalf of tb Tio
nesta society and members of the congre
gation, extended a most cordial welcome
to all. It is not giving Mr. McAninch
undue praise to say that much of the suc
cess of the convention depended upon his
having charge of this mneting. His quick
wit and good common sense enabled him
to connect the broken links and make
the afternoon meeting a most enjoyable
and profitable one. Although but one
person Mr. G. W. Warden of Endeavor
whose name was on the program, was
ready to respond, yet each subject was
well discussed and without hesitation.
Rev. A. B. MoCormick of Irvineton and
Rev. Mr. Drake of Grove City aided
much in the discussions.
Rev. L. N. New of Seneca, Pa , con
ducted the even'ne devotional and the
large audience was not disappointed in
any of the exercises of that sessio". The
inusio was erood. and the lecture, "Vic
torious Endeavor," by Rev. B. Cantield
Jones, of Erin, and the address by Roy.
McCormick were excellent. Some one
in the audience was heard to remark that
all the speakers were young men thi
time. This is a young people's move
ment and one of the most hopeful signs
of the future. The young people of today
are not satisfied with any "new-fangled"
idoas and issues advanced by some, and
jothing but the old gospel story will
stand the test with them. Mr. G. W
Ludwiir of Titusville. president of the
society, presided over the evening meet
ing, introducing the speakers and con
ducting the business meeting with ease
and dignity. Mr. O. F. Miles of Tionesta
was chosen delegate to the state conven
tion to be held in Harrisburg in October,
It was decided to hold the next conven
tion In Second Presbyterian church of
Oil City. At the close of the evening
session, lunch was served by the Tiones
ta society in the S. S. room, to all vmi
tors, and a happy social hour closed
delightful convention.
