The river at this point has been closed
for nearly three weeks, in (act It is closed
with ice pretty much all the way from
Oil City northward to Its source, which Is

until sufficient ralu had fallen to soak up
the ground, have another guess coming.

The Clarion Democrat learns that a
corps of i ngiueers Is now at work on
what is ssid to be a final aurvey of tbe
Pituburg, Shawinut A Northern railroad
from Mahoning to Pittsburg on the West
aide of the Allegheny river. This is re
pot ted to be the railroad which has re
cently secured a charter for the Clarion &
Jefferson railroad and has bad the prelim
inary survey msde of tbe route from
Hall ton to the mouth of Millcreek In
Clarion county, to connect with the branch
of tbe new P. S. & C. railroad. Tbe sur
vey above referred to is said to pass down
Mahoning oieek to the Allegheny river
nd thence on to Pittsburg. Construction
is said to commence next spring.
Tne P. R. R. Co. has purchased the
strip of river fronisge below the west end
of tbe river bridge at this place, and it is
given out on good authority that the
company will build a new passenger sta
tion there, making the fill necessary be
low tne bridge abutment. The structure
will be of modern design, commodious
and convenient, such aa tbe road la adopt
ing along its lines where new statious
are needed. In this Improvement it is
also designed to raise the tracka at this
station to conform to the grade both
above and below, which will require two
or three feet of a fill, thus making Ihe
grade ol tbe wagon road to tbe bridge ap
proach much better and easier. These
Improvements will likely begin early In
the spring.
A number of residents of neighboring
towns have been worked by a new swin
dle. Tbe plsn of tbe operators was to
leave a box of salve at each bouse with
the understanding that II It was used 50
cents would be paid. A few davs later
another man called at the houses where
the preparation bad been left upon ap
proval, and If it had not been used took it
up. Then in a few daya the man who
originally left Ihe halve called and re
quested tbe money or the goods. When
told that another man bad called and
taken away tbe sal ye be appeared enraged
and slsted that no other person had au
thority to take bis goods. He persisted
that the salve should be paid for and fre
quently he was given the price by the
victim of tbe fraud rather than bave any
trouble over tbe matter. The two men
work together, and aa tbe preparation
could be prepared aud boxed for only a
few cents they realise a handsome profit
from those tbey succeed In victimising.
Franklin News.
A writer in tbe magazine Madam, for
December, thinks It will soon come to
pass that if a couple desire to marry it
will bo necessary to hire a guard to save
the contracting parties from their
friends after tbe ceremony. Such occur
rences as an effort to kidnap a bride and
groom after a church wedding, while
on their way to the reception to be ten'
dered them, or compelling the bridal par
ty to march to tbe depot at tbe head ot a
brass band, with red fire accompaniment,
bave become so common that little is
thought of them. Not a baud is raised to
stay these outrages on society and direct
attacka upon the sacredness of wedlock
At this moment, when the true marriage
calls for the spirit of solemnity, humility
and high resolve, the ceremony is turned
into a farce, and tbe merrymaking is In'
dicatlveof the lightness with which mar
riage obligations are regarded. Tbe mat'
rimonial alliance which is to he IndUsol
able should bave tbe elements of peace
and sacradiiess at the Inception, and tho
rude Intrusion of Ill-timed merriment
should be frowned upon and prevented,
as we would stamp out any outrage
against public decency and good order.

In 1809 he was elected Protbonotary of
Clarion county as a Democrat, serving
six yeara in that capacity. In December,
1882, he came to Forest county, locating
at Marienville, where he erected what
was for a number ol years the principal
hotel of the place. In 1890 this hotel was
burned together with half Its contents,
aod the loss was a total one, there being
no Insurance. In two days afterward
Mr. Watson, with characteristic vim and
energy, bet-an the erection of another
and much larger hotel, which was also
swept away In the great fire which licked
up nearly every business bouse in the
town in 1902. After this Mr. Watson
gave most of his attention to farming. In

day came to this county from Crawford
county upward of thirty-five yeara ago,
and was well-known to a large number
of Forest couuty people. He was a go
nial, whole-hearted man, of more than
ordinary intelligence, and possessed a
fund of anecdote and information that
made him a companionable, interesting
friend. He was aged about 74 years, and
is survived by his wife and one son, E.
B. Halliday. Funeral services were held

Two Shot, One Dying.
A Titusville special to the Derrick
under date of Monday evening, Dec. 19,
says: I'aniel if. Roberts, an ex-couucil-
man. former police officer, a prominent
member of tbe Elka and foreman of the
Queen City tannery, was shot late this
afternoon by Alfred Weatherbee, aged
28. Roberts is dying at the Titusville
hospital, aud Weatherbee is in the lockup.
Weatherbeo claims that he shot in self-
defense, but bystanders declare that he
tneaked up behind Roberts and fired
four sbota at him. Two of these shots
took effect in Roberta' bead, a third went
wild aud a fourth struck Edward Fitch
in tbe throat, near the Adam's apple,
making a dangerous but not necessarily
fatal, wound.
This was pay day at tbe tannery, but
the clerks could not get through with tbe
entire force of employes and had to post
pone paying some of them until Tuesday
forenoon. Fred Bodamor, aged 30 years,
is an employe and had some money com
ing. He and Weatherbee bad been around
towu drinking, and about 5:30 o'clock
this afternoon went together to the olllce
to draw Rodamer's pay, the latter agree
ing to pay Weatherbee a small Bum he
owed bim. Tbe men were told they
would have to wait until Tuesday, and
they indulged In some loud and rough
talk aud finally Went outsido of the office.
There they commenced swearing and
Roberts wont out to quiet thorn. There
were some words between Roberts and
Weatherbee, and Weatherbee was
knocked down. He arose and walked
away. Bodainer took up the quarrel and
when he and Roberts were engaged iu
talking, it is alleged, Weatherbee turned
and sneaked up behind Roberts and,
when less than two feet away, fired the
revolver. The first shot struck the un
fortunate man on the thicker part of the
skull and llattoued out. Tbe second en
tered the skull at the base ol the brain
aud entered the brain matter to a depth
ol nearly three inches. This wound will
prove fatal.
The weapon was a five-chambered re
volver of 32-calibi 3. A third shot fol
lowed the two tired into Roberts' head,
but went wild, and the fourth struck
Fitch iu the neck, Weatherbee tried to
fire the remaining cartridge, hut it failed
to explode. He backed away, reloaded
his weapon aud came down town.
An hour after the shooting Weatherbee
was found at the home of his sister, Mrs.
White, of Water street. He had the re
volver In tho outsido pocket of his over
coat and attompted to draw It, but was
overpowered by Policeman Daniel Cou
ncil before he could do any harm.
Weathorbee admitted the shooting and
claimed self-defense. He stated that Rob
erts "had it in for him" for a long timo
and that ho ha I only defended hi in sell'.
