The first railroad accident to be

earth, rocks and gravel, throwing tbe
engine and several cars off tbe track and
into tbe river. Fortunately no one waa
injured, although the train, in charge ol
Engineer D. J. Collins and Conductor
Hadey, was going at a 25-mlle clip when
it struck the obstruction, and tbe engi

May Lose Sight of An Eye.
Jacob Wiggins, one of our town's best
known oil well drillers, is in danger of
losing Ibe sight or hia left eye. Last Fri
day while making a "splice" In a wire
cable near New Bethlehem, where be has
for the past iwo yeara been employed at
drilling gaa wells, a sliver from the cable
struck and penetrated tbe eye-ball near
tbe pupil causing a most excruolatingly
painful wound, the sharp piece of metal
Imbedding itself in the eye almost its full
length. Mr. Slgglna came to Oil City at
once where physicians rendered him as
comfortable as possible under theclrcum
stances, but advised him lo go at once to
a specialist, and on this advice be left for
Pittsburg Saturday night accompanied

Work of Vandals.
Friday morning practically all ol Tin
nesta's householders were thrown into
no Utile consternation on discovering that
their water supply was gone and that in
most cases there waa scarcely enough of
the fluid left In the pipes with' which to
perform Ibe morning abliAions to say
nothing of Ibe supply for culinary needs.
Most people went assiduously lo, work to
"thaw out tbelr pipes" under tbe impres
sion that tbe sudden turn In tbe tem
perature had frozen-Ibe pipes. Investi
gation revealed tbe fact that not a drop of
water waa left in tbe reservoir and none
was coming through the supply line.
Further Investigation revealed tbe still
more startling fact that the source of sup
ply bad been seriously tampered with,
the screen at tbe dam having been lifted
and a large sack or bag stuffed into the
pipe. The screen having been replaced
In position was conclusive evidence (bat
the sack had not drifted into the pipe
accidentally, but bad been placed there by
design.
What the motive for such dastardly
work could be is left to conjecture. Sure
II is, nevertheless, bad a fire occurred in
the town there would not have been a
drop of water to stay its progress, and
half the town might have burned up,
The penalty for such va-'dalism is very
severe and it is to be boped tbe investiga
tion being pursued by tbo water com
pany may be fruitful In bringing the per
petrators to trial aud adequate punish
ment. Patronize the Dutch Supper.

Thirty-Seven Years Between Fires.
Tbe dwelling house on the old Hiram
Osgood farm, two miles bevond Starr
postoftice on tbe road leading from tbe
Whig Hill road lo Tionesta creek, waa
burned to tbe ground on Wednesday
afternoon last, together with every arti
cle in tbe building. The farm Is occupied
by William L. Osgood, a son of the late
Christina Osgood, At one o'clock when
be had finished bis dinner he left the
bouse and went to the woods where be
was engaged in taking out some railroad
ties, leaving the fire in the stove pretty
well died out. At 4:30 be started back to
tbe bouse aud wheu still some diatance
away discovered amoke in tbat direction.
Hurrying to tbe place he found tbe build
ing a mass of flame inside. He attempted
to get In through a window but waa
driven back, and there was nothing to do
but stand by and watch It burn, not be
ing able to rescue a solitary article of
furniture, book or paper, and "Billy"
waa left with ouly the working clothis
whicb be waa wearing at tbe time. How
tbe fire originated is inexplicable as tbe
stove or pipe did not seem to be in any
way overheated, besides it was fully
three hours after Mr. Osgood had left tbe
building tbat the fire started. There was
no insurance on building or contents, the
bouse being uninsurable on account of
having no chimney, and tbe loss, which
Mr. Osgood figures at $1,200 to. $1,"00, la a
total one. Tbe bouse was built by Hiram
Osgood to take tbe place of one burned 37
years ago thia month.
