Of "Kid" Leibricb, who has very sat

"Charles Leibricb has accepted an oiler

New Castle, Sharon, Akrou aud other
eastern Ohio teams, to officiate as an um
pire In the league next year. Mr. Lei
bricb bas all .ue qualifications of an um
pire, Including voice, judgment and de
termination, lie is quick in his decis
ions and almost invariably right. He
does not frighten easily and bulldozing
is something for which he will not aland.
The salary for his position will be $125 a
month. Unless local judgment is badly
misplaced he will some day land iu a
major league."
A Clarington correspondent under
date of August 30th says: -Tin Redclyffe
ball team, who by virtue of their many
late victories claim to be the strongest
team In the county, visited our town
Tuesday and were defeated 111 to 9. Thiy
weie strengthened for the occasion by the
services of Keating, Kraden aud Morri-
sou from Marienville. It was a loose
game. Haight, the visitors' much boast
ed pitcher, was hit hard and his support
was very poor. George Dnnkle made
his tirst appearance In a game here this
summer, and the professor's catching,
together with Braden'a fielding, were
the features of the contest. Slaugben
baupt had his finger badly burt. A large
crowd witnessed the game."
A terrific boiler explosion occurred
last Wednesday morning at one o'clock
on the lease of the Deiblo Oil Company,
at McUraw, Warren county, in which
Tionesta parties are interested. John
Noble and Ueorge Framptou, of this
place, wore the crew, and the latter bad
just left the boiler and assisted In pulling
the tools, when the boiler let go with a
roar that conld be heard for miles around.
It was completely demolished and strewn
over a radius of a quarter of a mile,
Neither of the mon was injured sud their
escape was truly miraculous. A piece of
the boiler out off (lie drilling cable just
above the tools and the sand line was
also cut off. An over-pressure of steam
is supposed to have caused the explosion.
The boiler was a 20-borse oue purchased
from the W. A, Grove estate. It was iu
excellent condition.
-With Tionesta'a splendid flag and
cement sidewalks, Its usually well kept,
handsome lawns, It bas often been a
wonder that so many unsightly weeds
are allowed to grow up in many spots
when a very little work would keep
them down, and add greatly to the other
wise beautiful appearance of our town.
In some plaoes this duty would naturally
fall upon the owner, but in most case it
rightly belongs to the borough authori
ties to look after it. In tact some of the
worst places have actually beon caused
by t hose who have had to do with the
borough's work, old rotten lumber and
rubbish having been allowed to remain
at the side of walks where it lias been
thrown through carolessness and indiffer
ence. This ought not to be. For the
health and beauty of the town, let there
be a little cleaning up.
-The Warren Lumber Co., whicli has
operated for the past six years at Urun-
derville, on the east side of the Alleghe
ny river, throe miles below Warren, lln
ishod sawing the last log ou Saturday,
aud as soon as the four barges are finish
ed, the material for which is on the
ground, the company will pull up stakes,
solar as lumber manufacturing is con
cerned, at that place. The tract upon
which this company has been operating
consists of about 2,000 acres and was well
covered with virgin pine when it was
bought from the Urunder heirs six years
ago by Tionesta purlins, who immediately
sot to work to establish a modern lumber
ing plant, having all the equipment neo-
essary lor manufacturing lumber economically.-
In connection with the plant
bar(:e and boat yards were put in, and
their output of these craft has averaged
upward of a hundred pieces per season.
It has been a One institution, employing
a great many men, and tho closing down
of operations throws many out of work
for a time. The business has been a pro
fitable one, no doubt, to the owners,' tho
jobbers and the community in general,
and it is a pity it could not last always.
A party of Leechbnrg gentlemen are
having "the lime of their lives" at an
outing about three miles below Tionesta.
They have named their place "Camp
Hunter," bolng located opposite Hunter
Station, at the mouth of Indian Camp
run, where they have a cluster ol tents
erected affording ample accommodation
for sleeping, eating and resting. The
boating, bathing and fishing at this spot
are all that could be wished, and the
party Is not losing a minute's time in the
fullest enjoyment of their vacation rrom
business. While tho place selected for
their outing Is on the identical ground
made famous in history as the favorite
camping ground of the Indians nearly
two hundred years ago, tho present on
cupants are not taking on all the customs
or their ancient predecessors, although
they seem to have a "chief" bigger than
two of old Chief Cornplanter himself,
who keeps a watchful eye on the "young
bucks" while they occasionally indulge
in the green corn dance and smoke tho
pipe of peace around the evening camp
lire. The name of the chief will not be
mentioned here, but perheps their friends
can pick him out from among the follow
ing list: Oscar Lindquiat, Charles F,
Armstrong, Paul A. McCracken, W,
Lester Walker, D. B. Sober, I. T. Kling-
ensmlth, John P. Kllngensmith, John
Crosby, F. T. Butler, J. H. Parks.
Burglars Visit Tloucsln.
The safe in the Tlonesta gas office was
blown open by burglars last Wednesday
night or carlv Thursday morning, but no
valuables were secured, the cracksmen
being frightened away after blowing off
the outer door, which was completely
demolished, tho explosive used being
nitro glycerine. When Superintendent
Clark came to the office, about 7 o'clock
Thursday morning, lie made the first
discovery of tho attempted robbery, find
ing things in a rather mixed condition
when he entered the building. On the
same night the till of the P. K. R. station
at this place was also robbed of what
change Agent Imel had left in the draw
er, $5.12, and a hmitb & Wesson ,38-caii-
bre revolver, which is the loss or the
Adams Express Co,, Mr, Imel being re
sponsible only for the money taken.
The entrance to the gas office was ef
fected through a north window of the
building which the thieves pried open.
Thursday morning at about, a quarter to
three o'clock, residents iu the vicinity of
the office were aroused from their slum
bers by tbe explosion and a number got
up to inquire the cause, but as every
thing was quiet, no investigation was
made, the people concluding that some
boys bad shot off a gun. One lady saw
three men running up the walk when
she went to the window and looked out,
but thought they were boys. Some tools
were taken nut of Chas. A. Anderson's
workshop, near the river bridge, that tbe
burglars left In the gas office. Two or
three of his picks, with bis initials
stamped on them, were taken, but they
have not been found. Tbe railroad tool
house, near the depot, was also robbed,
entrance being effected by pounding the
lock. A wrench, hatchet and bar were
missing, tbe wrench being found at An
derson's shop, where it had been used to
twist off the lock. At the station the
outer door has a common lock which
would not be difficult to enter, but tbe
inner door leading to tbe agent's room
was fitted with a Yalo lock. Both had
been opened without apparent trouble,
showing that the thieves were well
equipped and understood their business.
An attempt had also been made to open
tho freight house door and here the
thieves left a two-bladed pocket kiure.
No clue to their identity has come to
light, and probably never will.
Clariugton.
Redclyffe and Marienville combined
came down to our town last Tuesday,
Aug. '28th, to wipe us off tbe earth in a
base ball way and from an outside view
it looked all right, but our boys got to
gether and young and old went at them.
Such slugging and playing never was
seen on the diamond before or since and
we won by the score of 19 to 9, and then
tbe boys went to Marienville on Friday
and got beat. Didn't take the old man
along. It is hard to understand why we
can't beat Marienville. Some think it is
the water, while othors think it is the
pretty girls that bewilder the boys. We
have just got oue game off of them this
season.

Letter to W. Vf. Grove,
TioneMa, Pa,
Dear Slit :-If you could get the ex
clusive sale or a sweeter sugar for five
miles round X.K as sweet as a pound
ol usual sugar, aud cost no more you'd
jump at It, wouldn't you?
There wouldn't be 100 lb or any other
sugar sold in a year in your town ; you'd
gobble the trade ; and it wouldn't hurt
your whole business.
Devoe is like that among paints; it is
twice as sweet as some ; It is sweeter
than any ; not one exception ; one gallon
is two or one-and-a-half or one-and-three-
quarters.
Bettor than that ; paint bos to be
painted ; that costs $2 to $1 a gallon, A
gallon saved is $2 to $4 saved iu labor,
besides tbe paint.
Eveu that isn't all. A gallon Devoe
put-on wears as long as two gallons put-
on at a cost of $2 to $1 a gallon and two
gallons more put-on at $2 to $1 a gallon.
Count all that. The paint that wears
double costs less by 3 gallons of paint
