The borough school board met yes
terday morning and completed the work
of selecting teachers for the ensuing term
by electing Prof. Frank W. Gill, of Litb-

cipal. Both men come well reccotn

-Tionesta now has about four hundred
feet of paved streets, that much of Elm
street at the northern terminus having
been completed Saturday. Contractors
Beck & Ott made quick work of the short
stretch at that point in order uot to im
pede travel from the upper end of the
borough longer than necessary, and now
the street is open again to vehicles, and
the balance of the work can progress
without again obstructing travel. The
first of September will see the completion
of the paving to the river bridge unless
too much hindered by unfavorable
weather.
Some of the local automobile drivers
will do well to bear in mind that there is
no law compelling everybody in Hie
vicinity to climb a tree or telegraph pole
whenever they toot their "honkers." Too
many of them seem to entertain the mis
taken Idea that they have the right of
eminent domain, and that all other hu
man beings must get out of the way when
they squeeze the elastic bulb. The fore
going from the Oil City Blizzard applies
with equal force to every community
where autos are driven. They are a great
machine but tbeir drivers should not as
sume that they own tua earth.
Avoid Ice water il you would be con
siderate of your stomach this hot weather.
This is the advice given by a prominent
physician, a stomach specialist. In his
opinion the chilling of the stomach with
Ice water and other Iced drinks is one of
the most frequent causes of stomach dis
orders. Ice cold beverages may be taken
safely by sipping, letting them become
warm In the mouth before swallowing.
But when gulped down they excite the
stomach, causing a rush of blood to that
organ, followed by a feeling of depression
and falntness. No animal will drink ice
water. Nature teaches them better, says
this physician. Water or other drinks,
which are just cool, or ever lukewarm,
are lar more refreshing and invigorating,
lthough they may not please the palate
al once.
The partial eclipse of the sun which
had been billed to take place on Sunday
morning last "drew a good house," and
the performance was witnessed through
smoked glass with Intense interest by
about every man, woman and child iu
the land. The forenoon was clear and
bright, affording all a splendid opportu
nity to view the rare phenomenon. A
little before ten o'clock the moon began
to cut into the sun's disc at the southern
edge and when the show was at its best,
shortly before eleven o'clock, about three
fourths of the great orb was obscured
leaving a perfectly lormed crescent at the
top and northern rim. The atmosphere
assumed a peculiarly hazy appearance,
and the shadows bad a rather "spooky"
look. There seemed to be quite a per
ceptible lessening of the sun's beat while
the eclipse was at the highest point. It
was a pretty show, worth "double, the
money."
-The people of Tionesta are offered an

ings of this company. Until July 15th

on the part of his friends who deemed it
best to place him where he could receive
careful and proper treatment, and so, at
the request of his father this step was
taken. Many friends hope for his speedy
restoration to Bound mental and bodily
health.
A current crop item presents a very
optimistic view of the outlook through
out this section. It says: Fruit ol all
kinds will be a bumper crop, potatoes are
In bloom. The wheat looks exception
ally good and is already coloring, about
two weeks earlier than usual. The straw
Is of unusual height and thickness. Oats
are looking good and many of the farm
ers are already commencing to cut their
hay, Timothy seeded early and not in
years has the yield to the acre shown such
a large average. Farmers are cutting
clover and expect to have a double crop
this year and some of the more optimistic
expect to reap a third crop for next year's
seed. A large amount of buckwheat is
being sowed.

R0UBED MAIDEN LADT AT PITHOLE
Miss Eliza Copclaud Is Victim of Thieves
Who Rub Her of f 130, and
Other Valuable,
F. R. Barnes, aged 52 years, and John
Warren, aged 18 years, were arrested In
tbe Keystone Hotel, Franklin, this morn
ing about 4:31) o'clock, just as they wero
arising from bed. They are now In jail
and have been chargod with robbery by
District Attorney Goodwin.
Wednesday afternoon, at Pithole, the
two men arrived at tbe Copeland home
stead about 2:50 o'clock. Tbey entered
the yard and requested Miss Eliza Cope
land, aged 57 years, to give them a drink.
She complied with tbeir request, and the
men seated themselves in a chair and eu
entered into conversation with ber.
Barnes asked many questions concern
ing the early day of Pitbole and seemed
familiar with many of tbe famous oil
wells and the operating firms. He In
quired if Miss Copelaud was acquainted
with the Nortons, who formerly conduct
ed a hotel, and when she replied in the
affirmative they talked for bo me time
about the family. Miss Copeland went
Into tbe kitchen to continue the work she
bad stopped wben tbe men arrived, and
they followed ber, Barnes keeping up his
talk of tbe old town.
Miss Copeland, during a lull in the
conversation, turned to look at the men
and found Barnes standing close by, cov
ering her with a revolver. She was told
to keep quiet and no harm would come to
hor if slie told them where she kept ber
money. She refused to answer them and
tried to brush tbe revolver aside.
The men then seized her by tbe should
ers and proceeded to tie ber bands with a
piece of clothesline one of them produced
from bis pocket. Taking a long towel
from the wall Btrnes placed it about tbe
woman's bead and started to drag her up
stairs. Tbe boy followed and when Miss
Copeland would bang back be would
shove ber along.
Wben the trio arrived up stairs Miss
Copeland was thrown on a bed and the
men started to search for money. Be
neath a pile of tracing paper on the man
tel they found f 130 in bills. This seemed
to satisfy them and the search was discon
tinued. Taking the remainder of the
clothesline they bound Miss Copeland's
feet, and, moving ber arms above ber
bead, tied the end of the rope to tbe head
of the bed and left ber.
She was found by Mr. and Mrs. Guy
McCalmont, at 6 o'clock, when they re
turned lo the bouse. Mrs. McCaimout is
a niece af Miss Copeland and tbe couple
made their borne with ber.
Barnes and Warren, on reaching tbe
first floor of tbe bouse, confiscated a Win
chester rifle, a revolver, a supply of am
munition and a couple of knives. It was
abont 4:30 o'clock wbeu tbey left the
house and they evidently walked to
Rouseville, going via Plumer. At
Rouseville they boarded a tiolley car and
came to Oil City,
When the robbery became known they
were tracked from Rouseville to Dun-
comb street, where tbey left the car and
walked to tbe Oil Exchange corner. Here
they boarded a Monarch Park car and
stopped at the park for bo me time. Later
they proceeded towards Franklin, leav
ing the car at Cochran station.
The Franklin police started on their
trail, assisted by Detective Dempsey,
wben it was known they bad left Mon
arch Park. Dempsey and Chief Sball'er
walked along the P. R. R. tracks, search
lug box cars, but later returned to towu.
They lesrned that two persons, answer
ing the description of Barnes and Warren
bad gone iuto the Keystone Hotol at a
very late hour. Arousing the proprietor
tbey found they bad been given a straight
tip, and in a few minutes were aHk Ing ad
mittance to the room. Barnes and War
ren surrendered without any trouple.
Beueatb a pillow on the bed was fouud
$97 and two revolvers. In oue of the
men's clothes was fouud $15. The rille
was also found.
This morning Miss Copeland went to
Franklin and Identified the men, also the
stolen property.
The Warren lad states he met Barnes a
short time ago In Waraen, that be did not
know be was going to commit robbery
wben the stop was made at (lie Copeland
homestead. He says Barnes lsacriminal
and has served time in the penitentiary
on the charge of counterfeiting. The Po
lice say Barnes looks tbe part.
Barnes and Warren would no doubt
have been apprehended by the Oil City
police bad word been received at an ear
lier hour of tbe robbery. It was not un
til tbe men had passed through here that
a message arrived stating the robbery
had occurred and asking that the men be
arrested. No description was given of
either man and it was not until inquiry
was made that any clew was secured of
what Barnes or Warren looked like. It
was then learned the men had arrivod
here from Rouseville and departed on a
Franklin car going via the park. This
information eventually led to their cap
ture whon it was communicated to the
Franklin police.
This afternoon Barnes aud Warren
were taken before Alderman MoVey for
a bearing. Tbey were charged with as
sault and robbery and wore held for
court. Both gave Pittsburg as their place
of residence.-Oil City Blizzard, iKtli.
