even a fair catch. The trout Is unable to
withstand the clearing of land and the
progress of civilization. Fry, planted In
hundreds of streams, Is not thriving and
apparently makes little difference in the

The surveying crew who were in

Railroad company returned Wednesday
aud are quartored at the Revere House,
where they expect to remain for a month.
Thore are fourteen in the party and they
will go over the topographical survey
previously mado and stake out the line
of the proposed road. It is expected
that the work of building the road from
Salamanca to a point near Meadville will
begin within a few weeks. It is the pur
pose to use temporarily the B, A. V. &
P. tracks from the junction, located in
the Seventh ward, to Salamanca. A
roadway will be built down the south
Ide of the river as far as Tionesta, where
it will cross over to the north side of the
Allegheny and continue until it reaches
the present main line of the Erie near
Meadville. J. A. Barrett, of New York;

Tionesta Opera House Burned.
Sunday morning last, about 1:30 o'clock,
the newly fitted opera house was discov
ered to be on fire, and the turning on of
the fire whistle brought out the local fire
department and about every other cltl
zen of the place. Before a stream of water
could be brought to play on the building
the fire had gained such headway as to
preclude any idea of saving the property
The building was of frame structure, one
story in height, about 30x80 feet in di
mensions, and finished in Georgia pine,
and burned like a tar barrel. It had beeu
erected by S. J. Wolcott fe Son as a laun
dry building, aud was held under lease
by G. E. Gerow and others, who bad
converted It into a neat little play house,
with modern scenery, stage, etc., and it
was opened as an opera house about two
months ago.
Saturday night "The LoneTree Mine,"
a Rocky Mountain drama was played by
a company of home talont artists, and
after the performance the janitor turned
off all the lights and examined the build
ing before locking it up for the night.
He says there was no evidence of fire
when he left the building between 12
and 1 o'clock. It is supposed the fire
caught somewhere in one of the dressing
rooms, as there is where the worst blaze
was when first seen.
The loss to the owners of the building
la estimated at about J900 on which they
have an insurance of $800. The lessees
sustained a loss of a thousand to twelve
hundred dollars, In furniture, scenery
and other fixtures, and they carried an
Insurance of $500. One of the heaviest
losses was the handsome new piano.
James Landers is the only member of
the local troupe to sustain any loss. He
had a good orran, some bedding and
wearing apparel in the building, which
were consumed. Fortunately the other
players had taken all their belongings
with them wbeu they left Saturday uight.
The firemen did good work in saving
other buildings, as the sparks and flj ing
embers were terrific at times, aud were
carried ball a mile away by the high
wind that prevailed part of the time.
New Game Law.
The new game law, to which the Gov
ernor has recently attached bis signature,
makes the following open season for
game in this State ;
Woodcock, October 1 to December 1.
Limit, 10 in a day, or 20 in one week. .
Grouse or pheasants, wild turkey,
prairie chickens, Chinese pheasants, Oc
tober 15 to December 1. Limit, 5 in a
day, or 20 in one week.
Quail, November 1 to December 1. It
shall be unlawful at any time to shoot or
Injure quail when buuehed upon the
ground. Limit, 10 in a day, or 40 in one
week.
Deer, November 15 to December 1.
Dogs are prohibited in hunting deer, and
shot guns are unlawful in the shooting of
doer. Nothing but rifles propelling a
single ball allowed. Limit, 1 deer in
season.
Squirrels, October 1 to Becembor 1.
No more than six to be taken by any one
person in any one day.
Rabbit, during month of November.
Bear, October 1 to March I.
Plover, July 15 to December 1. Rail,
reed, black bird, dove, duck aud geese,
September 1 to January 1.
The new law is a difficult proposition
to solve In many respects. Penalties for
violations are provided for only a few of
its provisions, while others are referred
to "existing laws'," The law seems to
allow the sale or purchase of game dur
ing the "open seasons," but is so worded
as to leave some doubt on this point. The
legislature seems to have delegated its
powers largely to the "Board of Game
Commissioners," whatever that may be,
and that body of experts (?) seems to have
framed the law to suit its own whims.
Demented Mas Taken in Charge.
Last Saturday Sheriff Noblit was called
to Dawson station, three miles north of
Tiouesta, to take charge of an aged man
who was found wandering about in that
vicinity, He brought the man bore aud
has detained him at the Jail since. The
nan is aged about 72 years and gives bis
name as Henry Brockelhurst, and bis
homo at Seybrook, Ashtabula county,
Ohio. Wheu discovered by Walter Daw
son, the man was almost entirely nude.
Ho had been driving an old horse hitched
to a dilapidated buggy, In which were a
number of bottles of h-:rb extracts. The
rig had gotten over the embankment at
the side of the road some distance below
Dawson station. Whether or not the man
had been peddling the extracts could not
be ascertained. At times he eeoins quite
rational, but at other ti i.es is considerably
demented aud talks in a rambling way.
He claims he has a brother living some
where between Oil City and Franklin.
Tho authorities are endeavoring to learn
something of the unfortunate man's his
tory, where he belongs and whether or
not he has any relativs living. Unless
his lawful residence can be discovered
soon he will have to be removed to the
Asylum at North Warren.
