A number of specially selected hymns

tere-tinir service.
-Atiilioninir a number of pensions
recently granted to persons in und
about Franklin, the Spectator makes this
comment: "In tho record which Con
gressman Sibley has mado In this mutter
of pensions thore is justitiable ground for
the declaration in his Memorial day
speech at Tionesta: 'To those who com
posed the rank and lilo is the nation in
debted, and its tribute is due to the bum
ble heroes. As I near the sunset of life.
. that which 1 will consider the proudest
part of my Congressional work will bo
the securing ol pensions fur the soldiers
of the rank and lile.' "
It haa been discovered that the law
passed by the last legislature making
the minimum salary for teachers 35 per
month, does not become effective till
June 1st of next year. Many have been
under the impression that the law took
effect at once, and that the teachers who
will begin their work this fall would
get tbe benefit of tbe raise, but such does
not eem to be the case.

Clarington is the only town in the

that will celebrate tbe Glorious Fourth
this year, and the citizens of that thriving
little city will do it up in true American
style. They invite their neighbors and
friends to come in help tbetn in the
engle-screaming festivities. Of course
there are other towns in this county that
will fittingly observe the day, but have
not publicly advertised the fact yet.

Monday night while running some
barges out of the creek Lytnan Cook
met with a Revere accident, which will
likely lay him up for severs) days. He
was pushing the barge on which te was
standing when another came along and
struck the pole with suflicient force to
knock him off, and he fell to the bot
tom of the boat, a distance of about
eight feet, striking on bis head and
face, causing several bad gashes. Dr.
Bovard rendered tbe necessary sur
gical aid, and Mr Cook is feeling as
comfortable as possible under the
circumstances. Tbe accident happened
just below the dam above Forge Island,
where the current is quite rapid.
A very snappy game of base ball be
tween Tionesta and Marienyille was
pulled off on Tionesta grounds last Fri
afternnon, resulting in a victory for the
home team by a score of G to !. Tbe
game ran like one of tho professional sort
until the fifth inning, being then one to
nothing In favor of Tionesta. The home
teem then made a liLlo spurt and in
creased their lead to three, at whHi it
stood for several innings, when Marlen
ville caught the score-getting fever infus
ing more life into the game, and fhe
wind-up was a quite exciting one. The
batteries did nice work for both teams,
Bankhead and Allen being in the box for
the home team and Reyner and Graybill
for the visitors. It was by far tbe best
game of tbe season, and gave the sport
new impetus in the town.
Every day this town is becoming
more beautiful by the addition of new
improvements on private residences,
beautifying of lawns, and new and sub
stantial Hag, brick or granolithic walks,
until, as a pretty little city wo are ranking
with the nicest of them. Now if some
thing could be done to patch up that mis
erable old ramshackle of a walk leading
to tbe river bridge, bo that it would not
be a complete disgi ace to the town, we
might be able to extract a littlo pride out
of tills beautifying crusade. Some day
some one will surely have a big bill of
damages to "cough up" ou account of
that piece of makeshift walk, and then
there will bo music. It may be the bor
ougb and it may the owners of the prop
erly on which it fronts. In either case
there is likoly to bo "a howl in Rome.',

Oil City Win, the Shoot.
A novel and very interesting event iu
sporting circles took place on the shoot
ing grounds of the Tionesta Gun Club
last Saturday, when the Titusville aud
Oil City gun clubs pulled off Ihe decid
ing contest in a series of three shoots.
Tbe conditions ofthe contest were for the
championship ol tbe northwestern part
of the State, a match to be shot on tbe
grounds of each club, and if tied then tbe
deciding shoot to take place on neutral
grounds. Each club having won a match,
the Tionesta grounds were selected lor
the third aud decisive contest.
The Oil City team arrived on the morn
ing train bringing several extra men and
a more or less steady down pour of raiu
with them, and spent the forenoon visit
ing friends and taking in the town. At
noon the Titusville team arrived, also
backed by a number of their extra shoot
ers who came along to see that their club
should not be outdone in enthusiasm.
Meantime the rain kept on drizzling
down, sometimes defending very co
piously, but nothing daunted or damp
ened tho ardor of the enthusiastic clay
bird smashers, and through it all the
match progressed to tho end.
Before the match was called on a num
ber of open events were shot, which were
participated in by both clubs, including
some of the Tionesta shooters. The teams
consisted of five members from each club,
as follows: Oil City Messrs. Graham,
Eaton, Lay, Bates, Dorworth. T tusville
Messrs. Kellogg, Schwartz, Andrews,
Jordon, Myers, Each contestant shot at
100 birds. Both teams Bre exceptionally
strong at the traps, but they had many
unfavorable obstacles to contend with
rain, wind, a dark back ground and a
dark day yet with it all, very good
shooting was done, and most of tbe con
testants kept up their usual percentage.
The crowd which was drawn to the
island to witness the interesting event
was large, notwithstanding most of the
sight-seers were obliged to stand during
the afternoon. Had the day been pleas
ant the shootiug grounds, largo and com
modious as they are, would scarcely have
held tho crowd. One hundred birds each
were shot at, and thrugb out the contest
it was difficult to tell which team would
be winner, and not nutil the last shot was
fired was there any certainty as to whom
belonged the victory, Tbe summing up
showed that Oil City bad won by a narrow
margin of 12 points. Following Is the
scoro.

After tho contest was over a number of
other events were shot, "doubles," "part
ners" and "walking shots." In the lat
ter, which is a very amusing sort of
sport, tho shooter calls "pull" and then
starts toward the trap, being obliged do
keep on the move, while the puller
springs tbe trap at any timo, being care
ful to take tbe shooter as much unawares
as possible, thus affording much sport
for the spectators. We believe Mr, Love,
of Titusville, excelled In this contest,
having a clean score (00) in ten birds.
There is no sport that is quite so clean
and free from roughness of any sort, as
that of trap shooting, Its very decency
and lack of opportunity for intrigue
making it attractive to gentlemen only
tho gambling element finding little in the
sport to amuse or attract. It oan thus be
understood why the visitors were such a
jolly, good-natured se-, and how It came
they seemed so thoroughly to enjoy tl.e
day's outing In the face of such unfavor
able weather conditions. Among the vis
itors, besides the teams, were Charlie
McClintock and . . Saltsman, of Oil
City, and Messrs. Love, Carnahan aud
line, of Titusville, all enthusiastic trap
shooters, The absence of C. M. Loomis,
of the Oil City gun club was much re
gretted by his Tionesta friends, who look
upon him as the life of a party of this
sort.
In it's report of the day's sport the
Derrick has these words of praise for the
reception accorded the visiting teams:
The Tionesta club was hospitality itself,
and did everything in its power to enter
tain its visitors, all of whom express their
satisfaction with the completeness of the
arrangements for such a shoot. Every
body understood his business and (be
shoot moved along like clock work. The
Oil City Gun club has extended an invi
tation to tbe Tionesta club to pay it a vis
it in the near future, which Tionesta has
accepted, at which time Oil City will en
deavor to return the courtesies extended
to their team ou Saturday.
