In an opinion hauded down recently
Deputy Attorney General Frederick W.
Fleitz sustains the action of State High
way Commissioner Joseph W. Hunter in
tbe employment of inspectors to guard
the interests of tbe State during tbe con
atruction of State roads. Mr. Fleitz says
la part: "The various counties and
townships in wbicb roads are reconstruct
ed are as much concerned as is the State
In securing properly constructed roads,
and It is therefore fair that tbe cost of the
tupervlaion should be included in the ex
penses of the improvement." At the
conclusion of the opinion tbe Deputy
Attorney General says tbe course pursued
by the Slate Highway Commissioner Is
proper and lawlul, and advises hi in to
continue in it.

place, and was In tbe act of pulling some
obstruction out of the carrier box, a con
trivance for carrying away the refuse edg

caught and his arm was being drawn
into tbe machinery. By an almost super
human effort he Ireed himself, but in do
ing so tore bis right band In a frightful
manner. Tbe physician who was sum
moned found it necessary to remove tbe
middle finger entirely .taking with it the
cord several inches above the wrist Joint.
It is thought the other fingers will be
saved and a fairly good band left to tbe
unfortunate man, but tbe healiug process
will be slow.

A letter from our young friend, Will

of quoting them: "I believe my sub
scription expires Jan. 1st, and as we (no
doubt like many others 'away from
home') could scarcely get along without
the paper every week, I want to assure
myself of Its coming for the next two
years. " Helen Sraearbaugh came
up from the beach and stayed with us
over yesterday, Christmas, which, by-tbe-way,
was a nearly perfect day, briuht
and fine, temperature 70 to 71. She
perhaps felt less far from bome with us
and we were mighty glad to have her.
She and Daisy lunched today with Mrs.
Kory Heath and Mrs. Nettie (Giering)

Coin milted Suicide.
Zabio Wrigbt, aged 23 years, a resi
dent of West Hickory for tbe past two
months, where he lived near the Carter
farm lumber mill and was employed by
Putnam Bros., tbe stackers, committed
suicide by drinking carbolic acid last

violent temper and there were frequent
domestin disturbances at bis home In
Hickory, culminating in bis abusing his
wife a few weeks ago and for wbicb he
was in turn chastised by a neighbor, Into
whose bome he had followed bis wife.
In the light of recent events it is only
charitable to suppose that he was men
tally unbalanced. Wright, whose home
is at Quaker Bridge, had gone with bis
family to spend Christmas aud tbe holi
day season with bis father-in-law, S.
Morris, at Sugar Run, and it was there
the tragedy occurred. He was found un
conscious in tbe barn by bis brother-in-law
and died before medical aid could

tempted to secure the acid in Sugar Run,
and failing to get it there, bought it at
Kinzua. He is survived by his wife aud

ily of five to die from a violeut death

Buzard-Watsou Nuptials.
One ol tbe prettiest functions that has
taken place in tbe social annals of Tlo
nesta in many months was the marriage
on Thursday evening last, of Miss George
Anna Watson, youngest daughter of Mr.
aud Mrs. George F. Watson, to Mr, Law
rence Armstrong Iiuzard, of Lamlson,
Alabama. The scene of the splendid oc
casion was the beautiful home of the
bride's parents, which bad been in the
bands of a professional decorator and his
art was shown in the elegant and perfect
harmony of tbe profusion of graceful fes
toons of smilax, tropical piIms,aHparagus,
ferns and cut llowers, tbe predominating
colors being white and yellow roses and
white aud pink carnations. Promptly at.
tbe hour of seven o'clock thestrainsof the
wedding march, by the Troubadour or
chestra of Warren, announced that the
bridal procession bad started from the
bead ol tbe winding staircase which had
been entwiued with smilax leading to the
reception ball, thence through the living
room to tbe rear parlor, where, before a
huge bank of palms, tbe bridal party was
met by tbe officiating clergyman, Rev.
W. O. Calhoun. First came the groom
and bis best man, Mr. Fred V, Brown, of
Clarion, followed by tho brides-maid,
Miss Josephine Smearbaugh, gowned in
a pretty chiffon and carrying a bouquet of
yellow roses; then the pretty bride lean
ing on the arm of her father. Sho wore
an elegant gown of imported whito satin,
en train, trimmtd with heavy lace, a
beautiful veil, and carried a great bouquet
of white roses. Tbe effect was charming.
Tbe simple but pretty ceremonial of the
Methodist Episcopal church, with ring,
was employed in tbe joining of the hearts
and lives of the popular young couple, at
the conclusion of which they were
showered with congratulations aud god
speeds by the more tbau a hundred guests
present.
Tbe dinner was an elaborate one, con
sisting of three courses, the prt ductiou of
caterer Mrs. Meacham of Warren, who
brought her own assistants and served
the same in elegant style. The bride's
table, where covera were laid for six the
bride and groom, Miss Siqearbaugh, Mr.
Brown, and Mr, and Mrs. Calhoun was
handsomely decorated with white aud
yellow roses, palms, asparagus aud yel
low candelabra.
Tbe wealth of gifts to the bride was a
sight for the gods, a more magnificent
display having perhaps never been seen
at a Tionesta wedding, and Included cut
glass, two chests of silver, many solid
silver pieces, pictures, and a great variety
of other costly and useful articles. The
groom's gift to the bride was a ring set
with a cluster of live large and eighteen
smaller diamonds. Among tbe most
highly prized gifts was a drawnwork
handkerchief made by the bride's grand
mother, Mrs. A. B. Root, now in her 78th
year and residing at Portlaud, Oregon.
This tbe bride carried as one oilier pretty
adornmeuts during the evening.

Itefused New Trial.
In the matter of the application for a
new trial in the case of T. D. Collins and
others against L. 8. Clougli and T. B.
Bradley tried at last September court,
and resulting in a verdict for tliedcfcnse,
Judge Thomas cf Meadville, before whom
tbe cause was tried, refused a new trial to
the plaintiffs and filed the following
opinion: "We are not persuaded that
this was a case which should have bi en
taken from tbe Jury. The facts to be
found were so dependent upou the testi
mony of witnesses, whose credibility was
for the Jury, that we could not have
taken it from them. Nor are we per
suaded that, when we couie to consider
section 2 and 8 of the Act of April 8, 178.".,
J Sin. L. 317, there was reversible error in
our oharge with reference to what we
said about the numbers of the respective
warrants. It was earnestly urged that
we erred in submitting to the Jury the
question as to which warrants wcro first
located. We do not believe that, in view
of what was found on the ground, and
what the surveyors testified to with re
ference to tbe meaning thereof, this was a
question solely for the Court. Being of
opinion that the questions involved were
ones of fact for a jury, and uot being per
suaded that tho Jury might not, as rea
ronable men, have reached the conclusion
they did, the rules are discharged and a
new trial is refused." The case now goes
to the Supreme Court.
