Ridgway Advocate,
-The "harvest services" at tbe Presby
terian church on Sabbath morning were
atteuded by a large congregation and
were exceptionally interesting. Rey. Mr.
Bailey had for bis text Lev. 1!):9, "And
when ye reap the harvest of your laud,
Ibou shall not wholly reap tbe corners of
thy field," and his discourse was a most
excellent one. Tbe decorations consisted
entiiely of the fruits of the garden and
the fields, embracing every variety of
ripened vegetable, fruit aud grain, tie
whole making a novel and very pretty
display, upon wbicb tbe committee hav
ing the arrangement in charge was pro
fusely congratulated upon the good taste
displayed. The music was good, a pretty
solo by Mrs. W. H. Rodgers of Cincin
nati, being a much appreciated feature of
the occasion.
The drouth which Bet In overja month
ago throughout this section continues to
hold sway, and In many parts Is becom
ing very alarming. Springs and small
streams are fast drying up, and not alone
cattle and live stock, but the human
family as well is beginning to suffer for
the want of water. Pasture lauds are
past recuperation and cows are fast falling
on their milk supply, while many farm
ers are already feeding stock from the
summer's bay and grain crop. Iu tbe
northwestern states fires are raging to an
alarming extent. Particularly is this the
case in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi
gan, where whole villages have been
burned, and thousands have been ren
dered homeless. And still tbe weather
bureau continues to predict fair weather,
with no Bignof rain.

George Ott, the 17-year-old son of
contractor Charles Ott, did some speeding
in tbe laying of brick on a stretch of tbe
new street paving on Elm street last
Thursday. In the space of 10 hours be
laid 25,7(10 brick, the combined weight of
which would be 283,300 pounds, or more
than 111 tons, counting 11 pounds to the
brick, which is the average weight. Six
men attended blm and be made them "go
some" to keep blm supplied. If this rec

The stage of water in the river Sep

of the big rocks opposite the club bouse
of the Oil City Boat Club ai d placed a
mark on tbe stone, also the date. Sunday
Mr. West paid a visit to tbe rock and
found the water was but two inches above
the mark. If the present drought con
tinues the stream will no doubt get low
enough to warrant a new mark. Oil City

Two cages containing a hundred hom
ing pigeons owned by the Defender
Homing Club of Rochester, N. Y., were
received here Friday by W. C. Imel,
agent of the Adams Express Co., with in
structions to release thorn Saturday
morning This was not done on account
of the smoky condition of tbe atmosphere,
but they were released Sunday morning
at 11:13 and after circling three or four
times started for borne. One of tbe birds
became exhausted and was picked up on
the street here by Brother Muse. It was
shipped home in a box.
The contractors expect to finish up
the street paving operations today when
they make the Junction witli the approach
to tbe river bridge. They will then pro
ceed at once with the macadam rond
closing the gap between the upper end of
Elm street and the township road above
Tubbs run. The bridge across tbis
stream, which was carried away by the
flood, will be replaced with a modern
concrete structure, and when tbis is com
pleted the community will bave a very
pretty stretch of road, wbicb will be a
pleasure to all who bave occasion to
drive in that direction. The street pav
ing is a very handsome piece of work,
and experts pronounce it one of the best
to be found anywhere. Messrs. Beck &
Ott are not alighting their work in any
particular,
F. C. Proper took a drilling rig up to
the Proper farm at tho top of German
Hill last week for the purpose of putting
down a water well, and thereby bangs a
tale. He was installing a gas engine and
while doing some pounding had tbe mis
foitune to strike bis thumb a terrific
blow. The pain was so great that Forest
fainted dead away. Farmer Henry Shaf
fer, wbo was assisting with the work, ran
to get some water and fell into the reser
voir and was unable to extricate himself.
And than there was a suspension of oper
ations until Forest sufficiently recovered,
or "came to," to help Henry out of bis
dilemma, and after a short rest and a lit
tle comparing of noies as to the sensations
experienced while tbe trouble waa on,
business was resumed. Our informant
thought If there bad been a third man on
the job he'd likely bave met with fatal
injuries.
Rev. W. O. Calhoun got mixed up lu

Dr. Dunn is laving a cement walk iu
front of his residence lot. Other property
owners on north Elm street who have not
already done so will lay either stone or
cement walks as fast as they can get to
It, and then practically the entire street
for more thau a mile's distance will have
these substantial sidewalks on either
side. All the property owners on the
south side of Bridge street bave ordered
Hag stone for sidewalks, all of which will
transform that street from tbe ragged est
to the handsomest in town, now that it
has been paved. Surely the people of
Tionesta are to be congratulated upon
their enterprise. Those who have recent
ly laid or are now at work on stone walks
are, G. W. Robinson, fronting the prop
erties occupied by S. Fitzgerald and
Sherrill Smith, Elm street; A. C. Brown,
fronting bis property on Elm street; H.

Game Warden Alberts has been doing
some good work in this vicinity of late
regarding the pollution of tbe streams in
habited by game fish. He baa arrested
several of tbe representatives of the dif

them to time. A meeting was arranged
for and held at Ridgway, with the bead
men of the Elk Tanning company which
controls 40 tanneries in Pennsylvania.
At this meeting theofflcersof the corpora
tions arranged to install whatever type of
filtering plant tbe state flsherhs depart
ment required. Plans for these filters
are now being considered and will be put
in either during the fall or spring. Each
filter plant will cost about (1,000 aud will
effectually cleanse all liquids used in the
tanneries. Tbe refineries will also be
gone after as well as the acid works and
they will be forced to keep their refuse
out of the streams. Warrto Times. It
looks as though tbe busy game wardens
were bonud to preserve the fun for the
boys wbo like to fish if they have to close
up every important Industry in tbe
country to do so. The pollution of the
streams Is dead wrong, but the main
objection should be from a sanitary point
of view, rather than the preservation of
tbe fish and the fun they atTord to sports-men.

Husband's Desperate Deed.
The Oil City Derrick this morning gives
this account of tbe desperate work of a
man wbo formerly resided In Tlonesta:
"Lamont McElhatten, aged about 40
years, a well-known painter, made a
probably successful attempt to murder
bis wife and commit snioide shortly after
one o'clock tbis morning. The couple
bad not been livtug together for about
two weeks. Last night, according to
what was probably the dying statement
of bis wife, McElhatten came to tbe street
door of the Armour building on Seneca
street, where tbe wife bad apartments on
the second floor, and asked to be admitted.
"After a short talk be told ber 'Fannie
you must die,' placed tbe muzzle of a re
volver to her left breast aud fired. The
woman ran screaming down tbe stairs to
the street, followed by two other shots,
one of wbicb struck ber in the back,
lodging below the right shoulder blade,
and tbe other made a flesb wound in ber
wrist. She plunged through tbe glass
panel of tbe street door, which had been
locked after she bad admitted tbe hus
band. While the crowd was gathering,
attracted by tbe sound of the crashing
glass and the screams ol tbe woman an
other shot was fired inside ot the building.
"Officer Bropby, who patrols that beat,
was only a few yards away, and arrived
as tbe woman was running across tbe
street. She fell lino a doorway, and be
sounded tbe whistle, bringing the other
officers to tbe scene. The ambulance
was called and the wounded woman was
taken to the hospital.
"Tbe policemen secured admittance to
the woman's apartments through the
broken panel. McElhatten was lying on
bis back, fully dressed, and the blood
was oozing from bis right ear, and tbe
weapon lay at bla right Bide, near his
hand. There were no evidouces of any
disorder about the room other than nat
ural. He was also taken to the hospital,
arriving about the time an examination
bad been made of bis wife's injuries.
Previous to tbe arrival of tbe doctor at
the hospital, Mrs. McElhatten made a
statemeut that was practically as follows:
" 'Mont came to tbe street door a short
time bofore he shot me. I did not want
to admit him, but be declared that he
was going to Youngstown, O., early In
tbe morning and just wanted to talk. I
brought blm upstairs to my bedroom and
he told me tbat be bad forged a check. I
told bini that if be bad forged it on me
that be need not worry, that I would not
make bim any trouble. We were sitting
together on the lounge at the time. But
be said: 'Fannie, you must die,' and
then shot me in the breast and I ran
down stairs and be shot me twice again.
I ran across the street wnd fell and told a
man to uotify my sister, Mrs, McBrlde,
wbo lives in Franklin."
It is hardly possible that Mrs. McEl
hatten can recover from ber wounds as
she was sinking it last accounts. The
solf Inflicted wounds of the husband may
not prove fatal, however, although tbey
are very serious. There was no jealousy
between (he couple and no cause for any.
Mrs. McElhatten Is a sister of Mrs. A.
0. Urey of Tionesta, and resided bere
with ber husband about two years ago
for a few months. She was very highly
respected by all who knew ber as a
woman of rare good sense, patience and
kindness. The husband was addicted to
drink and evidence shows that be bad
been drinking when be committed tbis
awful deed. Tbe couple bad no children.
A Mysterious Find.
Workmon on the public road leading to
Ceuteryllle, Pine Grove township, Ve
nango county, about two miles nut from
President, unearthed a pot of money
valued at about (25(1, aboutsix weeks ago.
Wm. Blgley is one of the men wbo found
the bidden treasure, and still has tbe
bulk of it In his possession. The money
is all silver coin and of denominations of
near the size of dimes and quarters, but
Is not so marked. Tbe smaller pieces
contain the head of the goddess of liberty
on one side with the date 1852, and on tbe
reverse side the American eagle, under
neath which are the figures 2 d. On tbe
larger pieces these figures read 5 Dot..
On these tbe date was some time in the
1840's. The coins seem to be genuine
silver, but why they are so marked la In
explicable unless on tbe theory that they
were to be gilded and passed as gold
pieces, in which case the imitation would
be almost perfect. It is said that many
years ago a log bouse stood on what is
now tbe public road or very near it, and
that tbe building was burned down. The
men wbo found the money were engaged
In straightening up the road and were
using a machine, the plow share of which
dug up and broke the Iron kettle contain
ing the coin, and wbicb was of about one
gallon size. From tbe appearance of the
money it is evident the coin passed
through a fire at some time. Wm. Van
camp, who resides in tbis community,
ou the west side of the river, is in pos
session of one of the coins, having re
ceived it as a present from bis brother-in-law
while lu the vicinity above referred
to, wbicb is remembered by old Inhabi
tants as tbe II ines place. Who can solve
the mystery?
