The I'nion Tanning Company, one of the constituent companies of the United States Leather company, has completed the preliminary sur veys andjother arrangments for the construction of a railroad about eighty miles in length through its vast forests of Hemlock in Lycom ing, Sullivan and Bradford Counties. Work on the construction of the rail road will begin in the spring and it will likely be completed within a year. The new railroad will extend from Marsh Hill, at the mouth of Pleas ant Stream, on the Xothern Central. R. R. fourteen miles north of Will iamsport, to a point on the Barclay I railroad in southwestern Bradford County. The route will be up PleasntStream, viaKllenton, Shunk and a branch of Towanda Creek to j Foot of Plane, on the Ban-lay R. R. Front' Marsh JI ill a spur will be! built north, paralelling the tracks of! the Xothern Central, to the com pany's big tanneries at Ralston and Roaring Branch, a distance of about eight miles. The entire road will be through a forest of hemlock, and the Tan ning Company's own holdings are sufficient to keep its tanneries running for the next twenty years. Large mills will be located at con venient points along the line of the new road for the purpose of convert ing the timber into lumber. It will afford railroad facilities for parts of Lycoming, Sullivan and Bradford Counties, that have been heretofore cut off from all outlets for vast tracts of timber and great deposits of coal. The new line will also shorten the distance between Williamsport and Towanda. Death of Kirs. Thou. Molyneux.

She enjoyed the acquaintance of a large number of friends who will learn with de<»p and la-ting regret of her demise and who will extend to the bereaved family in their hour of affliction their sincere and heartfelt »y mpathy. Funeral services were held Thurs day afternoon at her late home. CR. H. G. WILSON DEAD- Bucoumbed to the Orim Reaper Monday Afternoon. When death enters any home it is always sad, but when a husband, father and citizen like Dr. Wilson, is called to his final rest, it is a se vere shock not only to the immedi ate family, but to the entire commu nity. Early Monday morning he was taken with convulsions, and Dr. Morgan summoned Dr. Voor liees, of Sonestown, for consultation. A special train also brought Dr. Heberton, from Hughesville, but he was past medical aid. At 2 p. m.the lingering spark of life went out. About twelve years ago he suffered a severe attack of heart trouble, but a few years later seemed to have fully recovered from the disease, and continued in good health until Sep tember of 1900, when the old com plaint again manifested itself, and since then he suffered with heart trouble and blights disease. Dr. Wilson was born at Warrens ville, Lycoming county, and had but reached the age 0f:52 years last December. He was raised a farmer boy, and early in life completed a Common school education. Later lie attended the Muncy Normal, and for a time taught school, after which he entered the Millersville State Normal where he graduated. The Williamsport Commercial Col lege gave him a thorough business training, and following this school ing he was engaged as instructor in the Pierce Business College, of Phil adelphia. Desiring to follow the medical profession he took a course in the medical department at the University of Pennsylvania, at Phil adelphia, where he graduated. He first began the practice of medicine at the Harrisburg Hospital. He also practiced at Ambler, Pa., and at his home at Warrensville, before com ing to Laporte, in August, 1599. Dr. Wilson was in many ways a remarkable man. He formed those sterling attributes which command respect among men; great energy linked with truth and sobriety, honesty and integrity were bis lead ing traits. He was one of nature's gentlemen, and his broad and liberal mind was above all that was petty or mean. He was pre-eminently a man who searched for the good qualities in others and therefore failed to see their defects. A man very precise in all that he undertook to do. Funeral service was held at his late home on Wednesday afternoon, and the body taken to Warrensville, early Thursday morning where ser vices were held in the Baptist Church. Interment will be made in the cemetery at Warrensville. A widow and two small sons are left to mourn his loss. Nelson Cox Shot at Bernicr. Xelson Cox who was last fall a candidate for Sheriff on the Republi can ticket was shot but not fatally wounded, Sunday evening abut six o'clock while walking along the public highway leading from Berniee to Mildred. A party «>1" several foreigners who were having a rollicking spree were going along the railroad track cele brating the occasion by shooting their revolvers promiscously and carelessly. As Mr. Cox was passing at a point where the two roads lay near together, several balls passed very near to liini and ft nail one took effect in his left leg below the knee, passing entirely through. He was not so badly injured but that he con tinued his journey home and is now nursing the flesh wound inflicted. 'Square Hearst, of Berniee, was at the county seat Tuesday to consult with the sheritt and his attorney as to what action could be taken in this instance to make an example of some of tin* lawless element. These weekly jubilees, it is said, of the strike-breakers have become not only a nuisance but dangerous to the lives of the people. It is not unlike ly that arrests will follow indue time. A Sudden Death. Win. E. King died suddenly at his home near Xordmorit Tuesday afternoon; heart trouble and dropsy being attributed to the cause of his death. Mr. King was past the age of 85 years at the time of his demise. Deceased was highly esteemed and a man of sterling qualities. He was one of the pioneer settlers at Xord mont, where he hewed from the wilderness a fine farm. Owing to the illness of his aged widow the funeral will take place at his late home Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Interment in Cherry | Grove cemetery. —— Eagles Mere News Item 3.
