George W. Walters was born on Church

Jennie Hatch, whose father was the
owner of the old furnace on what is now
known as the Furnace tract, on Little

Ideal one and the death of bis wife in
1882 was a blow from which be never re
covered. Three children blessed this
borne, one son, William, died December
25th, 1900, and two daughters, Misses

ers, M. Q. Walters, of Lsona, N. Y., and

Hickory. About fourteen years ago tbe
family moved from Tlonesta to the state

many of those now living In the town, he
was not forgotten by bis old friends and
acquaintances, who gathered to pay their
tribute of respect and love. Tbe body ar

B. & 0. Railroad Badly Blockaded.
Conditions out along the B. fc 0. rail
road, which bas been completely tied up
by snow for two weeks between Kaneand
Foxburg, are becoming mighty annoy
ing and rather alarming also to residents
of some of the towns. It will be two
weeks today since a through train has
gone over the road and tbe officials seem
to be making no effort whatever to open
It. Tbn snow plow was sent as far as
Sheffield Junction last Thursday but
gave up and returned to Foxburg, Drifts
are 10 to 15 feet deep and every little
storm Is adding more snow to the troubles
of tbe road. Those in a position to know
say it will take weeks to open it now,
whereas if an effort bad been made at
first it would not bave been so difficult,
Fuel and even food supplies are begin
ning to run short In some places and the
publio roads are also in bad condition,
which makes it difficult to haul in sup
plies. Tbe cold snap Monday and a
sliortage of coal compelled the Mmien-
Ville schools to close but they were re
opened Tuesday. Business men of Mar-
ienville on Monday forwarded a tele.
graphic protest to Congressman Wheeler
at Washington, asking blm to take action
to compel the railroad officials to open tbe
road. It it thought the interstate com
merce commission might take up the
matter if it was properly brought before
them. Postoftice inspectors bave been
looking up the matter also, and it is pos
sible the railroad will bave some heavy
fines to pay ou account of failure to
transport the mails.

Warren were present, and Mr. and S rs.
Huey received a number of very valuable
aud handsome gifts as remembrances of
the bappy occasion. A sumptuous sup
per was served and a very delightful
time enjoyed. It was not until a late
