rooently and detalllug tbe trying exper

ourselves doing things just tbe reverse of

years ago, and making money by it. It

Publication of the fact that threaten
ing Black Ilaud letters bad been received
by Judge George S. Criswell aud Sheriff
Williams has created considerable street
tnlk. Yesterday it was developed that
others In this county had been similarity
threatened. A well known wholesale
and retail fruit merchant of Oil City, an
Italian by birth, received a letter two
weeks ago directing him to deposit $1,000
at a designated place In Cleveland, O.,
from which point the letter was mailed,
under penalty of death. The merchant
paid no ateutian to the communication
further than to arm himself and refrain
from traveling after night. It Is also said
that Contractor Corbett, who built the
larger portion of the Franklin A Clear
field railroad, had received a letter from
former Italian employes who were laid
oil' at the completion of the job, to the
effect that he would be killed unless be
furnished them with work, Derrick.
A correspondent of the Sheffield Ob
server gives these particulars of tbe des
truction by fire of the gasolene plant of
the Forest Chemical Co., located a short
distance from Cooper Tract, this county,
Friday night, Feb. 21st: Owing to some
slight defect in tbe machinery of the gas
compressor, the escaping gas ignited,
causing an explosion. Both ends of tbe
compressor were blown out and the
building was entirely burned. Some
unused machinery was also impaired
Frank Jeffords, who was at work in the
building at the time of tbe accident, was
hurled quite a distance by the force of (ho
explosion. His face and hands were
badly burned. While tbe pain from the
burns Is intense, yet bis condition is not
serious and bis friends have every reason
to congratulate him upon bis narrow es
cape. Although it is impossible to give
an exact estimate of tbe Company's loss,
it is probable that it will reach two or
three thousand dollars,
Tbe farmers' institute held at the
court house in this place Friday and Sat
urday, was a pronounced success from
start to finish. Tbe attendance of farmers
was quite good at the day sessions and the
evening sessions drew large audiences,
the crowd on Saturday night being one
of tbe largest that ever assembled in the
court house. Instructors and lecturers
Philips, K abler and Drake were good
drawing cards, and Mrs. Mollle Allen, a
graduate of Cornell, who came to take the
place of Dr. Thayer, who was detained by
sickness, made tbe hit of the season. Her
lectures on borne sanitation were of a
scientific and high order of merit. A
paper on the reproduction of pine forests
written by Orion Siggins, and one by
Prof, Morrison on tbe school and the
(arm, were among the excellent features
of the institute and elicited much favor
able comment. The musical features
weie also well received, and the young
ladies of the Skidoo Club were highly
praised for their part In the euteitain
tnont. Tbe readings given by Miss Gen
avieve Doutt were also bright features of
the entertainments aud she was repeat
ly encored.

Sept. 9, 1802, In Company K, 14th Pa.

Sallie Martha Way was tbe daughter of
Robert P. and Harriet N. Craig, and was
born at Pine Grove M ills, Centre county.
Pa., December 19, 1858, where she spent
ber childhood days. She died in Tiones
ta, Pa., February 27, 1008. After the
death of ber mother she made bur home
with her brother, the late John L. Craig,
In this plaoe. She is the last of a family
of eight children, her father having died
after she had grown to womanhood. She
was a step-sister of our townsman, Robert
M. Herman. . July 11, 1878, she was
united In marriage with Daniel W. Ag
new, who died April 12, 1888. In 1800
she was married to Boon Magee, of War
ren, Pa., whose death occurred about 18
months later. About five years ago she
was married to Prof. George A. Way, ol
New York City, and by bis death nearly
two years later she was again left a
widow. Since that time Mrs. Way had
made her home with tbe family of her
brother-in-law, Leonard Agnew, alid no
home could bave given her a warmer or
more gracious welcome. Parents could
not have done more for a child than did
Mr. and Mrs. Agnew for their beloved
sister-in-law, and when overtaken by
illness the inevitable termination of
which was death, she found here a home
so sweetened with solicitous care for her
comfort that ber last days on earth were
made days of happiness, notwithstanding
her great suffering from pain and weak
ness. Her every wish was quickly grati
fied. Her -faithful nurse and old time
friend, Mrs. Clara Hayden, who watched
with her to tbe last, bears testimony that
in ber most trying hours no word of
complaint ever passed her lips, but on
the contrary, when too weak to speak,
the patient sufferer looked her gratitude
for tbe unfaltering devotion of her bene
factors .
Mrs. Way was a woman of wonderfully
pleasant disposition; kiuduess and good
cheer marked ber whole life, and her
friends were limited only by the circle ol
ber acquaintances. She was a member of
tbe Presbyterian church, and In ber last
illness she greatly enjoyed the visits of
the pastors of the Methodist and Presby
terian churches of this place, to whom
she bad often expressed ber desire to be
taken wheuever it was the will of the
Master, and she looked forward to a joy
ful meeting of loved ones gone before.
Her experience in this respect was a
