The County Finance.
The auditors' report ot the finances
of Jefferson county for the year ending
January 6, 1903, and the commissioner'
statement of the receipts and expendi
tures of Jefferson county for the same
period, also the commissioners' state
ment of the receipts and expenditure
of the poor district for the year 1902,
were published In the Brook vllle papers
last week. The Brookvllle Republican,
ays :
These reports show for what purposes
the moneys collected In the shape of
taxes during the past year were expend
ed. These reports show the county
treasury to be In a very satisfactory
condition, the cash balance turned over
by Treasurer Reltz to his successor,
Mr. Moans, being $18,630.80 in the
general fund, and (7,846.01 poor funds,
a total of $26,386.60. The total amount
expended for county purposes, not In
cluding the poor district, was 170,308.85,
and the total cost to tbe poor district,
including the bills against the county
atDixmont, Warren, Polk, Werners
ville and Passavant Hospitals, was
$21 ,1)27.40, or a grand total expet.dlture
for the year of 11)2,230.25, which Is a
neat reduction from the expenditures of
former years, and speaks well for the
old board of commissioners, who seem
to have exorcised proper care In the
transaction of tho vast volume of busi
ness that passed through their hands.
These rejwrts show assets over liabili
ties of 125,080.20 In the general fund,
and liabilities over assets of $86,805.06
for the poor district, or a total Indebted
ness for the county, over assets, of
$60,819.70.

Whereas : Our beloved pastor.
Rev. W. F. Reber, after a successful

is the will of God that he shall remove
to another field of labor for the Master,
has resigned his charge of our church,

resignation and accede to his wishes.
We shall not bo forgetful of his earn
est and devoted work for the. Master,
and his unselfish and untiring zeal for
the upbuilding ot our church in every
line of Christian activity and worth.
With pleasure we gratefully acknowl
edge his wise counsel and sound judge
ment in the extensive repairs of our

excellent parsonage.
We shall ever cherish a fond re
membranco of his faithful labors in our
Sunday school, Christian Endeavor and
prayer meeting, his courteous, just and
equitable treatment to all, his readiness
to visit the sick and aftllcted and his
comforting words to those bereft of
loved ones.
His departure from us is a loss to our
town of an upright and respected citi
zen, and to our cburcb a wise and con
servative leader, an able, faithful and
fearless preacher of the Word.
We cheerfully give to him this de
served tribute of respect and esteem,
and wish hlrn the greatest measure of

richly bless him and his noble wife and
little one with every needed good and

The Story of a Great Catastrophe.
"Oh, that I had never eon the island
of Martinique I" With these words
Frank R. Roberson Introduced one of
the finest lectures ever heard upon the
rostrum of Assembly hall, and before
he finished the talo of St. Pierre' awful
doom, his hearers fully understood the
meaning of his opening words. Mr.
Roberson was a member of the commis
sion appointed by President Roosevelt
to carry food and offorings of the Amer
ican publio to the people of Martinique
after the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pclee
last year, and in his lecture he described
what he saw with his own eyes, illus
trating It with dissolving photographlo
views taken upon the spot. When on
the tea bound for Martinique, Mr. Rob
erson' ship put Into the harbor of St.
Thomas, in the Danish West Indies,
and the lecturer took occasion to show
a tow not very desirable specimens of
these people who may some day be fol
low American citizens.
Wben the party finally arrived at
Martinique and cast anchor In the har
bor of Fort deFrance, which Is fourteen
and one-half miles from Mt. Pelee, the
ship was surrounded by boat manned
by negroes. Supposing them to be fam
ished refugee tbe Americans offered
them food, but to their surprise the na
tives replied by offering to sell tho
relief expedition all the food they want
ed at three times the regular price.
This was afterward explained by the
fact that of the people of St. Pierre,
who would naturally be destitute, hard
ly one was left alive. . From Fort de
France the party went to St. Pierre,
the scene of the catastrophe.
Here tbe lecturer called attention to
the island's distinction df being the
birthplace of Josephine, who afterward
became tbe wife of Napoleon the Great.
Her tragic life lent a melancholy Inter
est to these scenosof her childhood.
A scone was thrown showing the
beautiful city of St. Pierre nestling be
side the rugged hills and shadowed by
the gloomy peak of Pelee four and one
half miles away. This city, surrounded
by the most luxuriant tropical scenery
In the world, was also reputed as tbe
gayest and most Immoral spot on tbe
face of the earth. Without a moment's
warning, like the crack of doom, Mt.
Pelee exploded and thirty-one thousand
people were killed in the twinkling of
itneye. so terrlllo was the report that
It was heard from four to six hundred
miles away. In a succession of scenes
Mr. Roberson showed the fearful desola
tion that was wrought. Graves were
laid open, the skeletons brought to
light. Long streets once prosperous
with business, now nothing but heaps
of scattered stone and brick. The dead,
abounding everywhere, decaying under
the hot sun,' bad to be put in piles and
burnt. Nothing but ruin, desolation
and death. Of the thousands there,
but one man, a murderer in a dungeon,
escaped instant death and he, at sight
of the awful ruins, went mad. In con
cluding the lecturer described his own
thrilling escape from death wben at
tempting to scale Mt. Peloe. A sudden
shower of lava came down upon them,
they ran for the ocean's edge, jumped
in and finally reached their boat, but
not until badly burned. The last soene
a colorod picture of Mt. Pelee in erup
tion with Its lurid flames and roiling
smoke thrown heaven high, the de
scription of It terrible rumble and roar
and tbe memory of the ruin It had
wrought, indelibly fixed upon the aud
ience the only name fitting It, in its
truest and most awful sense, a veritable
hell upon earth.

Stringing the Iron.
Track laying on the B., R. & P. ex
tension to Indiana began Monday. A
machine for placing the iron in position
was oomplotcd Saturday and with its
aid It is thought the construction gang
will be able to put down the iron at the
rate of a mile a day. If this can be done
the work should be done Inside of fifty
working days, as the distance from
where tho branch leaves the main line
is somothlng over 45 miles, extending
down Into the coal fields and about six
teen miles on the other side of Indiana
town. Hundreds of tons of 100 pound
steel rails are on tbe ground ready for
operation to begin. A. W. Jonos, who
was Btationod here at time of the build
ing of tbe C. & M. and later on tbe
Pittsburg extension of the road to But
ler, is the resident engineer in charge
of the work. The construction gang
will consist ot 100 men. Punxsutawney

It I tbe experience ot publisher that
too many people are apt to think it
matters but little whether the news
paper bill la paid promptly od not that
It is but a small sum and therefore of
little consequence. And this is not be
cause subscribers are unwilling to pay
but rather because they are negligent.
Each one Imagine that because his
year' indebtedness amounts to but a
small turn, tbe publishers cannot be
much in need ot it without a moment'
thinking that the Income of a news
paper is made up of just such small
aooounts, and that the aggregate of all
subscriber Is by no mean an inconsid
erate sum of money. Brockwayville
