Hinckley granted the motion of John M Andrews for a change of venue, and Erie county was agreed upon as the place for Andrews's second trial for the murder of Emile Amann. Erie county was selected owing to its size and its accessibility from Warren, When conrt convened that morning District Attorney Lyons sub mitted an affidavit in which be denied generally all of the, accusiations of tbe de fense relative to Andrews not being able to get a lair trial In Warren county. Judge Hinckley a moment or so alter bearing tbe petition said that in view of all the circumstances be would grspt a ubange of venue. He mentioned the fol lowing oouutiea as feasible ones tor the trial of the case: Jefferson, MoKean, Ve nango, Cleaiiietd and Erie. At the Court's suggestion, counsel for Andrews consulted him in bis cell relative to where he desired the case to go. He replied tbit he bad no wsh In tbe matter beyond the fact that he desired that tbe county have a large population, where there would be less likllbood of prejudice. Andrews de clined to make a choice of the five coun ties named. When this was reported to Judge Hinckley be said Erie county would he chosen, being the largest of the five mentioned. SHU On the Job.

Brown, of Clar ion, well known throughout Western Pennsylvania, had died at the Bellevue Stratford hotel In that city atone o'clock that morning. The family was greatly shocked by tho news, Mrs. A. C. Brown being a sister of tbe deceased, aud tbe an nouncement was alike startling to other ai quaintances here, where Mr. Brown has many warm Iriends. The message contained few particulars stating Mr. Brown went to bed reeling well as usual and died at tbe hour stated, doubtless from heart disease. About three weeks ego Ihe deceased left on a trip south, visiting Panama, and later, being joined by his wife and younger daughter, he vl-lted Cubs.

He was fined $1 875, which, with the posts, amounted to$l,U3:J 05. Mr. Glesencamp drew his check lor the amount and returned to Pittsburg the same day. It Is evident tho citizens of that locality mean to enforce the game laws and that pot hunters bad better take unttoo.- Court Minutes. When the Republican's report of the court's doings closed last week the case of Wm. Brooks vs. Daniel-, Cropp dr Co. was on trial. The Jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff in tbe sum of $100 74. The olaliu was for labor, ties, poles, eta. Tbo case against Charles O.

The plaintiffs claimed damages to the extent of J.J.000 for Injuries which Mrs. Graham had sustained in a fall on a defectiveside walk on May street in April, 1011. The Jury, after a two-hours' ilellneration.gave a verdict for the plaintiffs as follows: Mrs. Graham $104 50; Mr. Graham f200 Tbe verdict was evidently a compromise. Three Had Fires. Tbe two-story dwelling bouse of Fred Rudolph, Bituated near the junction of the Newtown and Whig Hill public roads on Ross run, Kingsley township, was totally destroyed by a fire which broke out about ten o'clock Sunday morning, and most of the contents went with the building, Tbe cause of tbe fire is sup posed to have been a spark from the stove-pipe, which Ignited tbe building in the attic or on the roof, and when first discovered nothing could be done to check the Uames. The fire burned so fiercely that within Ufreen minutes the whole bouse was a mass of flames. Mr. Ru dolph and hla neighbor, Theodore Leh man, managed to save the organ, two chiffonier-, two rockers and a couch, but everything else went up in smoke. Mr. snd Mrs. Rudolph saved only the cloth ing which tbey were wearing at tbe time of the fire. Included In tbe losses wero $10 in money, two gold watches aud three chains, three guns, two revolvers, and all of Mr. Rudolph's tools which be used In his work ss a woods jobber for Wheeler it Dusenbury. His loss on Ibe bouse and contents will reach $1,000.00, which is total, as there was no insurance. Tbe bouse was without chimneys and no insurance could be had. Mr. Rudolph had bis face blistered while trying to save tbe pictures of bis father and mother. Mr. and Mra. Rudolph have tbe sympa thy of their Iriends in their loss. They lost no time in getting a new start, as Mr. Rudolph was in Tionesta Monday laying in a stock of new furniture, and they went to housekeeping Tuesday morning in a vacant house which stands near the burned home. The home of Harry Gilfert, at Licking v II le. Pa., was destroyed by fire Thurs day afternoon last about four o'clock. The flames originated in the attic of tbe dwelling and bad gained such a start that only a part of Ibe household goods in the upper part of the house could be saved. Everything on Ihe first floor was carried out aud t places uf safety. Tbe lokg is $1,800. on w hich there wub an insurance of $ii00. This family has been pursued by III fortune of late. As was chronicled in tbe Republican two weeks ago, a son was stricken down with pneumonia snd died. Another son was ill with pneu monia when the fire broke out, but was abH to get out of the burning building uud walk to a neighbor's house. The home of John Christie, near Pit bole, was destroyed by fire Thursday morning about eight o'clock. So rapidly did the II lines do their work that the family was able to save but a piano and louuge of all the household goods, Mr-, Christie aud two daughters, Eltie and Sadie, were alone at borne aud were eat ing breakfast when Ihey heard a strange sound upstairs. Miss Ellie opened the stairway door and was met by a burst of flame which burned her hair and badly scorched her lace aud bands. The three frightened women managed to save the piano, lounge aud some pictures and then the heat drove them out. The house was a substantial two-story dwelling aud the loss is a heavy oue to the family, as their winter provisions wete all consumed with the other contents. There was $.'i00 insurance, but not nearly enough to cover the lots. Buy Scouts of America. So much reference is made to this movement in both secular and religious papers it may be well to outline its work somewhat, so that parents aud others may have a more clear idea of its work and enoourage the boys to become slUliated with it. Lieut. Gen. Sir Robert S. 8. Baden-Powell conceived Ihe Idea oNhe Hoy Scouts, believing it would furnish a natural and helpful outlet for a boy's energy during that formative period of bis lite known as the "teen period." Be fore the boy cau become a Scout be is re quired to take an obligation First, To Ho my duty lo God and toy country aud to obey tbe Seoul law. Second, To help other people at all times. Third, To keep myself physically strong, uientully awake and morally straight. It emphasizes then character, good citi zenship aud helpfulness as the cardinal principles. Tbe Scout law emphasizes trustworthiness, loyalty, helpfulness, friendliness, courtesy, kindness, obe dience, cheerfulness, thrift, bravery and reverence. Scoutcralt, woodoralt and campcraft supply wholesome amusement and recreation aud brings Ihe boy near to nature. Everything about Ihe move ment is uplifting and we are glad to know three troops have been organized lu this county. The first one lo be or ganized was at Endeavor with Mr. Ciias, Gorman as Scout Master. The Eudeavor Scouts are devoting their spare time to ooat building, tent making, and have plans made for a summer camp. Soon after the organization of Ihe Endeavor troop a troop was organized in Tionesta with Dr. J. C. Dunn as Ncout Master. Our town Scouts have successfully passed their examinations so far as piesent re quirements are concerned and expect to be in the Scout's full uniform in the near future. The last troop to be organized is at Nebraska, but In point of members leads Ihe others mentioned. Mr. M. II. Secor, the Scout Master, is not behind the others in his Interest. Su cess to 3011, hoy , and may the number of Boy Scouts Increase. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy hss won its great reputation and extensive sale by its remarkable cures of coughs, colds and croup.

A He n of a story. The following from the Oil City Derrick of a recent dale explains itself, at least to the satisfaction of tbe people of this neck o' woods; J. W. McCrea, of Reno, is one of Ibe many residents of this immediate vicin ity who were undisturbed by the recent high price of eggs on account of having a good flock of hens. Mr. McCrea writes; "I notice several records of egg produc tion in recent issues of the Derrick. While I don't claim any record results, I will give my experience to show what can be done in limited quarters. Commencing January 1, 1011, I kept a record of tbe eggs produced by 25 Barred Plymouth Rock pullets, and uuring the 12 months they laid 4,013 eggs-834 dozen and five, au average of 182 eggs per hen. These chickens were kept confined in an open Front pen, 12x8 leet, with a yard 21x8 leet. This year I have 25 pullets which during February laid 420 eggs, an even 35 dozeu." Josh Billings once remarked, "Some body stole our old blue hen; I wish they'd let her he, for every day slie'd lay two eggs, aud Sunday she'd lay three. Now, that sounds all right for poetry, but I'll bet seventy-live thousand dollars it never happened." And we agree with Josh. We dou't discredit Mac's story In ihe least, but it's dollars to buttons that, on investigation, it would be found that he has some friendly neighbor whose chick ens are permitted to run at large, and that he has so arranged his ben bouse that the doors swing inward -never out ward.
