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.

known and highly respected lady of
Millview, died at her home Monday

several months duration which time
she had suffered from cancer of
stomach.
At the time of her death Mrs.
Molyneux wa# about sixty years of
age. She was a sister of the late I).
T. Huckell and leaves one sister,
Mrs. J. L. Snyder, and a son. 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.
