Mrs. G. W. Ray, mother of Jacob F.

home at Fern, Clarion county, March 13,
1!I2, of Brlghts disease. The deceased
was sged C2 years, aud besides tbe bus-
band, is survived by eloveo children, 6
boys and five girls, all of whom arelivl g
and were present at the luueial which
took place at the Haven M. E. church ou
Friday. Mrs. Kay was an exemplary
Christian, having been a devout member
of tlie M. E. church for many years, and
ber taking away was a severe shock, not
alone to her family, but to tbe entire
com in unity, lu which she was always
held lu highest esteem.
Phoebe, the six -year-old daughter of
Mr. sod Mrs. Wm. McKee, living on the

last of scarlet fever, and was burled in

The child was tbe first In the family to be
stricken with disease, since which eight
others have contracted it, but all are do-
lug well aa could be expected, and none
are considered to be dangerously ill.
From what cause tbe disease has entered
this household is. very much of a mystery
as the borne is isolated and none of the
family has been away receutly, and they
have not been visited by friends from a
distance.

Tbe oilier day we were asked bow It
was that the city papers are able to give
so much society news. People In the
cities when tbey give a function or are go
ing away, or have visiting friends, see
that an account of It Is furul-bed lo tbe
press, very promptly, generally in ad-vauce-and
Ibey send It to tbe papers.
Don't wait for tbe matter to become oue
of Btreet gossip and then force the re
porter lo chase it up. In smaller towns,
to which Tidioute is no exception, the
bustler for news has sometimes to almost
"drill and blast" to get the item. Now,
you of Tidioute, get cili lied enough to
send iu your welcome items and they'll
promptly find place in The News. So be
it. -Tidioute News. Tbis applies to all
towns where newspapers are printed.

Itroak-un Causes No Damage.
Tbe Allegheny river is now practically
clear of Ice from auove Warren down to
Pittsburg. Sunday evening it passed out
at tbis point and, contrary to expecta
tions, no damage worth mentioning was
done. About tour o'clock Ibe great body
of Ice, ranging in thickness from one to
two feet, and wbicb bad been breaking
above here all the alternnon, came down
and lodged at the river bridge and for a
time it looked as though ibe dam thus
created would cause the Hooding of the
lower portiou of the town. Tbeu a streak
several rods wide extending from a abort
distance below the bridge, waa washed
out of the center of tbe river through
wbicb Ibe water rushed in a torrent for
an hour or more. Filially ibe pressure
back of Ibe gorge caused a movement of
the whole body, and tbe solid cakes be
gan to crumble and crush, shoving bigb
iuto the air and crowding nut over the
backs in many places. Tbis occurred
about 6:30 o'clock, and after it bad been
running nearly an hour a jam at the
island below town csused a backlog up of
the water so that heavy cakes of Ice were
floated back onto some of tbe lots on tbe
lower ground, and again caused some
apprehension of danger, but a break be
low released tbe flood and tbe water re
ceded rapidly, thus relieving the anxiety
that has all along been felt wheu tbe
break-up should come, because of the
great thickness which tbe ice bad attained.
The river closed with tee at this point
on Monday night tbe 8:b of January, and
passed out Sunday evening Marcb 17th,
thus making practically ten weeka of a
solid ice bridge without a break, a record
wbicb baa not heretofore been attained in
a quarter of a century, and perhaps may
not be repealed In Ibe next twenty-five
years. Yea, the winter bas been one of
the "old fashioned" kind with a venge
ance, and we're all rejoicing that the
back-bone of It is now badly cracked if
not entirely broken,
Tbe ice is practically all out of Tionesta
creek, although there were small gorges
remaining Tuesday at Mayburg and Blue
Jay, neither of which can do any dam
age. A big gorge at Little Coon creek,
Just above Nebraska, flooded Ibe 8. fc T.
railroad tracks aud prevented tbe com
pany from running any trains out of
Nebraska Tuesday. This gorge broke
early Tuesday eveniug. A big gorge
formed Monday night lu Slow bend, a
mile above Tionesta, aud lodged agaiust
the creek bridge, holding until Tuesday
afternoon. The back-water flooded tbe
low fields on the farms of Fred L. Reib
and Jacob Smearbaugb, but tbe damage
was slight. When this gorge went out
Win. Lawrence's loot bridge at tho
mouth of the creek was given a shaking
tip. The upright supports holding tbe
bridge at the center pier were knocked
down, allowing the bridge to sag into the
ice, with the reiult that a considerable
section of the planking was torn oil'.
Quita number of gorges formed at dif
ferent places in the creek Monday but
all went out without any damage and the
break-up was Ibe easiest and nicest wit
nessed in many yeara.

The Water Charters.
Thos. M. Jones, Uarrisburg corres
pondent of the Derrick, sends tbe follow.
Ing special under date of March 13. Mr.
Jones is right on the ground and knows
what be Is writing about, being one of the
oldest and most reliable newspaper cor
respondents In tbe state:
Tbe rape of the Clarion river by the 13
water power companies whose applica
tions for cbartera were yesterday ap
proved by Ihe Slate Water Supply Com
mission, Is not going to be accomplished
without vigorous resistance on tbe part
of people residing along tbe stream whose
properties will be affected injuriously.
Ex-Congressman Wheeler, who was here,
said that it la possible tbe Government
will be appealed to in tbe matter and that
damming a river may be a mighty Berious
Ibfng for any corporation especially when
it Is regarded by tbe Government as a
navitable stream. Tbe announcement
was made that these new water power
companies will be subject to certain re
strictions wbicb they must agree to be
fore they are chartered. That is a rattier
vague way of putting It. There are laws
governing the conduct of water power
plants, and tbe Water Supply Commis
sion is not throwing dust in anybody's
eyes by intimating tbat it is golug to do
something to preserve properly ibat Is of
its owu initiative. When the companies
get their cbartera tbey can snap their
fingers In the faces of Ihe complaisant
members of tbe commission, and tell
tbem to keep oil' tbe grass.
Inquiry to-day concerning Ibese re
strictions led to tbe information that they
are "engineering restrictions for the safely
ol lives, properly, etc., along thestream."
It was also said that the charters will be
made so as to meet tbe objections of the
people, aud will not be sent to the Secre
tary of ibe Cr.tnnionweallb and tbe
Governor until all these minor matters
have been worked out.
Il la rumored, ou pretty good founda
tion, that tbe five charters for water
power companies along the Tionesta
creek, which were held under advisement
by tbe commission, will be permitted to
die without action, and the proposed raid
on Ihe water of tbe creek will not be ap
proved. Ex-Congressman Wbeeler and
T. F. Rllcbey, of Tionesta, made vigorous
protests before tbe meeting of the com
mission against chartering Ihe proposed
companies, and iu this they were Joined
by George W. Kebr, of tbe Pennsylvania
Civic association, wbo protested on gen
eral principles, and in the interest of con
servation. Mr. Kebr is the private soere
taryof J. Horace MacFarland, president
of tbe National Civic association.
Tbe charters approved by tbe commis
sion bave yet to pass tbe scrutiny of
Governor Tener and it may be that be
cannot be so easily prevailed upon to
view tbem with favorable eye as tbe
Water Supply commission did.
In this connection the following dis
patch from Washington, under date of
17ib insl., is of interest to our people:
"Senators Oliver aud Penrose and Repre
sentative Speer bave undertaken to assist
the citizens interested in preventing the
granting of charters for damming Clar
ion river and Tionesta creek, In Pennsyl
vania. Senators Oliver and Representa
tive Speer have taken Ibe matter up with
Governor Tener, while Senator Penrose
bas carried it to tbe War Department to
see wbat can be done."
Scarlet Fever.
March 13th it was reported to the
Health Board and tbe School Board ofa
Tionesta tbat two children who live in til
couutry, but attend the Tionesta schools,
bad been taken down with scarlet fever,
and tbat others of Ibe families, wbo also
attended school, were liable to bave tbe
fever. It was evident thai prompt aclioo
should be taken to prevent any spread ot
the disease and il possible lo keep It
confined to the two families.
Tbe schools were ordered closed for the
remainder of tbe week, Tbe school
board and ibe board of health held a Joint
meeting on the 14 1 b at which it was de
termiued, as a matter of precaution, it
would be best to keep tbe schools closed
for another week and disinfect tbe school
building, and also that tbe Sunday
Schools be closed on Ibe 17th. This order
bas been strictly obeyed and every room
In ibe suhool building thoroughly disin
fected. By tbis means Ibe board of health
and school board believe the disease will
be confined lo Ibe two families.
Nine of the William McKee family
bave cootraoted tbe fever. Tbe first to
take It, a girl about seven yeara old, died
but tbe other children seem to be all get
ling along well.
Tbe one child of A. L. Thomson, wbo
bas tbe lever, la rapidly recovering and
no others bave It. There are no cases In
the borough and It Is believed tbe promp1
action of tbe boards will prevent any.
If none appear tbis week then schools
will open as usual without any fear
whatever.
In connection wi'b this it is well to call
attenlion to the fact tbat refuse accumu
lates about bouses during snow and win
ter and will appear upon the surface and
should be promptly removed and lots
put in a clean condition before a visit
from the Health Olltcer.
