Anyone who objects to tbe bill re
cently passed at Harrisburg forbidding
the setting of steel bear traps ought to
step into one and realize just what tbe
man or dog or the bear for that matter,
endures when be gets caught in thai way,
says an exchange. To wbich might be
added that the catching of dumb animals
of any species In Bteel traps should be
forever forbidden from a hu mane point
of view. It is a cruel and barbarous
practice and deserves to be stamped out
by euaotment of law witb severe pen
alties.
Good Friday comes on April 14 and
Easter Sunday on April 16 this year. In
the spring of 1865 tbe two important days

same dates. It was on the evening of
Good Friday, 1865, that President Abra
ham Lincoln waa assassinated in Ford's
theater, at Washington, and bis death oc
curred at 7:30 the next morning Holy
Saturday. Easter Sunday was a never-to-be-forgotten
day in America, and in
many churches tbe Easter service was
omitted and memorial services held for
the murdered chief magistrate of the na
tion. Tbe congregational meeting held in
tbe Presbyterian church last Thursday
night was largely attended and the recep
tion which followed was especially en-
oyed. Tbe reports of tbe treasurers of
tbe different societies showed tbe church
to be in a healthy financial condition.
Officers were elected as follows: Trustee,
A. B. Kelly; treasurer, J. R. Clark; ush-
ers, Archie Clark and Charles Johnston.

W, A. Wynn of Warren, Engineer of
tbe State Highway Department, is at the
bead of an engineering party wb.ich ar
rived here yesterday with the intention
of making tbe permanent survey for ibe
new state road extending from the Bor
ough line to the Green township line,
through Tionesta township, a distance of
nearly five miles. Application for state
aid on this road was originally made
when the township and borough applied,
and under which application tbe mac
adam road above Tubba run, and the pav
ing in the borougli were completed. It
is, in fact, a part of tbe same system. The
portion now under consideration Is on the
route embraced in the Sprout bill, now
pending in tbe legislature, from Tio
nesta to Ridgway by way of Marienville,
and should it be built under the provi
sions of that bill tho entire expense will
be borne by the state, and the road will
be one of tbe real kind. The members of
tbe engineering party, aside from Mr.
Wynn are, F. C. Fowler, T. A. Jackson,
E. R. Hue and J. H. Roberts.
E. W. Summers, an officer of the
American Steel Car Company, of Pitts
burg, baa purchased tbe old Carter Block
farm at West Hickory and will convert it
Into a summer borne. The farm covers
8,000 acres and was formerly owned by
tbe McCabe Lumber Company, wbo re
cently finished cutting the timber on it,
It Is tbe Intention ol Mr, Summers to re
model tbe building and stock tbe farm
with registered cattle and angora goats.
Mr, and Mrs, Summers were at tbe
Carver House today and the property
was formally turned over to them by the
lumber company. Warren Times of
Saturday,
Tbe people of Clarion county are con
siderably wrought up over the publica
tion of notices in tbe local papers ad vis
ing that certain persons will make ap
plication for charter rights whereby tbey
expect to take over the water privileges
of tbe Clarion river for many miles. Tbe
same applications will be made for privi
leges along Tionesta creek in Tionesta,
Green, Kingaley and Howe townships,
and before these rights are granted the
people should know what Is involved In
them, what use Is to be made of them and
what rights will be left to the people alter
the charters have been granted. These
are questions which the people would
like to bave answered first. No one In
tbls community seems to be at all wise to
tbe scheme.
Among tbe orchard demonstrations
soon to be made in Pennsylvania under
tbe direction of the Division of Zoology
will bo one at the farm of J. E. Gaul,
near Marienville, on tbe 19th lust., and
one on the farm of John T. Henderson,
Hickory township, on tbe 21st of April.
This wojk has been attracting wide at
tenlion throughout the state, and public
Interest in the matter is rapidly increas
ing. Forest ceunty is peculiarly adapted
to tbe growing of fruit, especially apples,
and a little education along tbls line is
bound to bring our fruit into prominence
and vastly increase the wealth of our
horticulturists, wbo will not be depend'
ent upon tbe local market for their reve
nue, but can easily work up a demand
for their warea from tar and wide.
Although it is too early to do much
at general road work, which must of
necessity be postpoued until weather con
ditlons are more favorable, it is, never
tbeless, not too early to do something In
that direotlou right away, and that ia the
cleaning out of ditches here and there on
bill roads thus avoiding much of tbe
washing out of tbe road-bed by tbe heavy
spring rains that are sure to come for the
next few weeks. A very little sttentlon
of Ibis kind now will save very much
work and considerable expense a little
later on. And just now would be an ex
cellent time fur every farmer to provide
himself with one of those inexpensive
split-log drags, and during tbe summer,
when the roads are in the right condition
go often over that portion . running
through or bordering bis farm. The
trouble would be very little, requiring
but an hour or so at a time, and the ex
perse would be practically nothing, while
tbe sum total of improvement would
be greater than can be made by any
board of supervisors, and tbe benefit to
each would overbalance tbe cost. Think
it over a minute and then act upon tbe
suggestion and see if you won't feel
thoroughly recompensed when fallcomes.

Additions to (Jootl Roads Bill.
The main highway bill of Senator
Sproul, which has been reported to tbe
Senate from the roads committee, makes
provision for seventy-three routes In ad
dition to tbe 203 originally provided, witb
numerous changes In routes of highways
enumerated In tbe bill when presented.
The bill carries an appropriation of $6,000,-
000, of which $1,000,000 is for construction
and maintenance of state highways and
$2,000,000 for continuance of the present
plan of the state aid to boroughs aud
townships, but on a different basis, the
state paying only 60 per cent, of cost iu
stead of 75, as under existing laws.
The bill is not contingent upon the ap
proval of the constitutional amendment
for issue ol $50,000,000 of bonds for road
construction, although should that meas
ure be approved by the people the pro
ceeds could be used.
Among the new routes for roads to be
cared for by the stale as embodied In the
bill, in addition to those already provided
for, is one from Tionesta to Smethport,
McKean county, by way of Tionesta
crtek, Sheffield and Kane, and another
from Brookville to Tionesla bv way of
Tylersburg. Many other routes are
named in tbe bill hut these are two our
people are most interested in.

T. D. Collins spent several days of the
past week in Tionesta going over the pro
posed ronte of the new Ya 11 road which It
Is intended to extend to this plaoe, con
neetlng us with tbe Sheffield and Tlo
nesta Ry at Nebraska. Mr. Collins made
what might be termed a preliminary
survey of tbe "back channel" route, tak
ing tbe oreek bank a short distance be
low tbe bridge and following around the
point at tbe mouth of the creek and up
tbe back channel to Hepler's livery barn,
thence across (he lower lots, past the
Mapes machine shop to the terminus on
the ball ground. Mr. Collins expressed
surprise and gratification at the ease with
which this route can be followed and with
very little Inconvenience to the property
owners.
Asked how soon be would begin active
work on the grade he said, "as soon as
tbe right of way is secured." This fea
ture of the project is now in the hands of
a committee of Tionesta gentlemen who
go at once to work to secure rights of way
from tbe property owners in the name of
the Sheffield and Tionesla Railway, and
as most of the privileges will be given
free it Is expected that part will be com
pleted within a couple of weeks, in which
case Mr. Collins proposes to put a force
of workmen on either end of tbe exten
sionat Nebraska and Tionesta and
ruBh the work witb all possible speed
Uuder favorable circumstances tbis
should mean the running of cars over the
road before the inclement weather of
early winter seta in.
Suicide Caused by Fear.
Robert Weaver, aged 26 years and sin
gle, employed as a bundler In the kind
ling wood factory of tbe Standard Wood
Co., at Kellettville, committed suicide at
10 o'clock last Friday morning by cutting
bis throat In a terrible manner. The deed
was committed in the kitchen at tbe home
of bis frleud, Ludwig Ruhmansader, with
whom be bad been staying for several
days. Weaver had Intended leaving last
Saturday morning for Portland, Ore, in
company witb bis sister, Mrs. Matthew
Messenger, and ber husband, of Laquin,
Pa., who arrived in Kellettville Thurs
day and were at the Ruhmansader home,
A few minutes before the tragedy his
sister was talking to him in tbe kitchen,
when he said be would shave and began
stropping his razor, while the sister went
out doora. Shortly afterward Dr. W. W.
Serrill, wbo was attending a patient in
tbe bouse, beard a noise resembling run
ning water and informed Mrs. Ruhman
sader of tbe fact. She opened tbe kitchen
door and discovered Weaver with his
back to the wall and slashing at his throat
witb tbe razor. She Bcreamed for the
doctor, who ran to the kitchen and grap
pled with tbe young man, holding bim
until sbe secured tbe razor. It was too
late however, as the young man bad sev
ered both jugular veins and the wind pipe
and died within five minutes from loss of
blood aud suffocation. No reason is
known for the desperate deed, except that
he bad suffered from two attacks of pneu
monia and feared be would develop tu
berculosis. He bad worked until Thura
day evening and seemed in tbe best of
health and spirits. He had no bad hah
its, was one of tbe steadiest men in the

near Wilkesbarre, where he is survived
by bis father, Robert Weaver. No in
quest was deemed necessary and tbe body
was taken to White Haven, Saturday, for
burial.
I'leasantvillo Man Murdered.
John Spence, aged "0 years, a well
known resident of Pleasantville, was
shot to death last Friday night In tbe
home of Perry Gray, a Civil War veteran
living one mile south of Pleasantville,
Gray said that tbe killing was doue by
burglars. He baa the reputation of get
ting drunk whenever he has the money
particularly about tbe time be gets his
pension. Spence was Inclined to be in
temperate in bis habits, also, though
not to the same extent as Gray. He had
no regular occupation and made a living
for himself, his wife and three step-chil
dren by doing odd Jobs about town.
At 6 o'olook In the evening the two men
were together in Pleasantville and short
ly after that left for Gray's home. That
was the last seen of either man until
9 o'clock, when tbey showed up at the
home of John Cole, a neighbor, Hying a
stone's threw away.
Leaving Cole's the meu went to Gray's
house. Near midnight Gray came back
to Cole's apparently much excited aud
said, among other things, "I've got In
trouble," and talked of someone having
tried to rob bim, and also said something
about Spence having been hurt. The
Coles finally persuaded him to remain
there aod lying down upon the couch he
was soon asleep. About 5:30 next morn-
ng Gray awoke aod went to his house.
He returned shortly and told Cole be
thought Spence was dead. Other neigh
bors were notified aud an investigation
proved this to be true. Spence was
found on tbe floor with one bullet iu bia
breast that bad pierced the lungs aud
heart, and another had gone through the
right arm.
Gray claims that two strangers entered
