Edith Mays, the fifteen-year-old daughl
ter of Mr, and Mrs. Thomas Mays, whose
residence la on the corner of H Hands and
Vine streets, died at 2 o'clock Sunday
morning, from tbe eflects of burns re
ceived about half past three o'clock Sat
urday afternoon. At the time the girl
was tbe only occupant of the house and
had beeu dressing for the afternoon and
standing facing the mirror, combing ber
bair. .Back of ber was a small open gas
stove from which her skirts were Ignited
and in a twinkling she was literally on
fire. Screaming with fright she ran out
of the house to the pump and was at
tempting to pump water on herself whan
ber cries attracted the attention o.' neigh
bors and passers-by. Cbarlss Anderson,
who was working at a neighboring house,
was the first to reach the terrified girl,
and with a piece of carpet succeeded In
smothering the fire. Dr. Bovard was
summoned and within a short time bad
succeeded In allaying tbe girls' suffering,
but was convinced that there was no
hope of saving her life. She was burned
from tbe knees to tbe neck, and almost
to a crisp. A celluloid comb which she
wore had caught fire and. much of the
bair on the back of her bead was burned
off, but her face was not at all disfigured.
Mrs. Mays, the mother, was visiting her
brother, near Oil City, and being unable
to reach borne by train started overland
In a carriage, reaching home an hour
after the daughter's death.
The distressing affair was a great shock
to the parents and family as well as to
tbe community in general, and much
sympathy with the bereaved ones is ex
pressed on all sides. Deceased was aged
15 years, 9 months and 20 days. Besides
the parents six sisters survive, as follows:
Mrs. Ray Birtcll, and Misses Guldie, Mae
and Graoe, of Tionesta; Mrs. Chas. U.

'fTa rioted miaat
meeting to discuss the problem of road
Improvement was held at the court house
on Monday afternoon. The attendance of
road supervisors from the several town
ships was quite marked, a large percent
age being present, together with a good
attendance of citizens and taxpayers In
terested in this very worthy and Impor
tant matter. The meeting was organized
by the selection of T. F. Ritchey, Esq.,
of Tionesta, as Chairman, aud George L.
King, of West Hickory, as Secretary.
There was some disappointment because
State Highway Commissioner Joseph W
Hunter failed to put in an appearance, as
was announced that be would, but he
sent a good substitute In the person of
his assistant, R. D. Beman, of Meadville,
who was introduced by tbe chairman of
the meeting and gaye a good talk.
He said, in part, that roads exist as a
means of travel for all seasons of tbe
year. He stated that Napoleon Bonaparte
was an advocate of good roads and he
contrasted tbe roads of, European coun
tries and tbe roads of a hundred years
ago with the roads of the present. The
gentleman then gave In detail the plans
of constructing macadamized roads, with
which the majority .of tbe peoplo of the
county are familiar. -
There are no stones In Forest county
known to the department suitable for tbe
top course of macadamized roads. The
two top courses must be bard, must not
take much water, and must not weather
easily.
On a properly constructed road, one
horse can draw as much as four horses
oo an ordinary dirt road. Experiments
on roads before and after macadamizing
show that the saving to business men
having hauling to do, is greater than tbe
cost of building tbe roads.' Rapidity of
travel, Increased comfort, and wear and
tear on vehicles were noted as Important
matters to be taken into consideration.
Tbe cost of maintenance will not exceed
the cost of maintaining dirt roads. It
also Increases property values.
Objections to the present system of road
making are, tbe use of planks In cul
verts, returning to the middle of the road
the pulverized muck from tbe ditches,
the prevalence of mud boles and filling
them with large Btones thereby causing
two mud-boles to appear where only one
existed previously, and an improper form
of drainage. Tbe proper time for fixing
bad roads is just after a bard rain.
The work tax system of keeping up the
roads does not bring good results. The
time is ripe for abandoning tbe work tax
system. County associations of Super
visors are asking for the abolition of this
system and ot the one dollar special tax.
Tbe average road tax In Forest county
for 1905 was $2.23 per capita.
. 1142 applications for 2250 miles of road
have been made to tbe Highway Depart
ment. About 175 miles have been com
pleted. A total of 452 miles has been
contracted. $14,130 is already available to
Forest county. The present legislature
will probably appropriate f 13,000,000 for
the construction of roads for the next
two years. There is already 14 mil
applied for in this county, which will
cost about 3,500 per mile.
G. W. Ensign, Assistant Engineer, ad
dressed tbe meeting and made a motion
that a County Supervisors' Association
be formed in Forest county to get the
Supervisors together to discuss ways and
means of meeting existing conditions In
the various parts of tbe county, to ex
change Ideas for the betterment ot good
roads, and for the purpose of influencing
legislation in favor of better roads.
The motion was put and carried. Tbe
following organization was then effected:
President, T. D.' Collins; vice presi
dents, C. A. Randall and D. W. Clark;
secretary, Geo. L. King.
Moved, seconded and carried that the
sense of this convention favors the aboli
tion of tbe road work-tax of this Com
monwealth and that all road tax be paid
In cash.
