IA. I. Stewart, the great New
York Dry Goods man, died yesterday.
His estate is valued at nearly $780,,
100000.
Our readers will notice the change
in DIR. Coburn's card on this page.
His residence is now in the Wolcott
house, Elm St.
Several RATS have gone down The
river from above, but none have yet
gone out of Tionesta creek. There
are two Alleghenies coupled up in the
mouth of the creek.
-Chas. Bonner returned h ONE yes.
terday, and is gladly welcomed by
hnmelous friends. 1t is to be hoped
ahat he will conclude to cease his
wandering and stop with us hereafter.
We are very sorry TO learn that
the residence of Mr.. james A. Scott,
Of jerks township was completely con.
sumed by fire last week. We are with.
out particulars, but understand that he
saved none of his household goods.
The weather for about week
past has been beautiful and spring
like, but this morning it is raining
heavily. Thunder and lightning, also,
have put in an appearance, and We
are really of the opinion that spring
has come.
The case Of Chas. Larribee, the
man who was sentenced to be hanged
for the murder of one Williams in
Oil City, upward of year ago, has
been looked over by the Board of
Pardons. and recommendation made
that The sentence be commuted to
Imprisonment for life.
The Grove & Hart we'll on the
old brick-yard property, inside the
borough limits, is down nearly a hun,
dred feet, and the work is being push
ed rapidly. 1t is considered certain,
that oil will be found at 300 feet but
in what quantity nobody will know
until the well is down.
--Some half dozen or more ducks
have been sailing on the turbulent
waters of the Allegheny about here
for few days past, and great deal
of powder has been wasted on them.
We have heard of only one being
killed. Better get longer range guns,
or better arranged shootists.
Our Washington correspondent
did not favor us this week, for which
we are sorry, as We consider his letters
good reading. We made arrange.
ments for weekly letter as long as
Congress was in session, and this is
tho first time il has failed to come to
baud Next week wo will probably
get rouser.

Forest county, one of the richest in
timber and coal and probably contain
ing as much if not more oil than any
in Western Pennsylvania is soon to
be the scene of active operations.
Three companies beside many ir divid-
uals are making preparations to tap
the oil belt that is believed to run
from the Clarion development to
Bradford. Why this belt should not
be found continuous and rich in For
est as in Clarion there is no reason.
Former efforts made in 1864 65 proves
that there is oil, and that too in pay
ing quantities, but this section Of the
oil belt has been singularly neglected
by operators, and the result is that
thousands of acres of good land, rich
in timber, coal, and most-likely oil, in
Forest lies idle. But at last It's day
has come, and we predict that the
coming year will make a revolution
in this county, as startling to the old
settlers who have been dreaming away
their lives in listless solitude as II
will be agreeable and profitable to the
land owners and all concerned. One
hundred wells in Forest county will
make her sing with new life and it is
believed do much to add to the wealth
and enterprise of the old Keystone
State. A railroad from Brookvile,
in Jefferson county, to Sheffield, WaA-
rem county, which we believe is in the
near future, will open field of coal,
lumber, oil and good country to set
tlement that will surprise many

Mr.. NJ. Carpenter has secured the
agency of Rev. DR.. Boyd's history of
the wonderful career Of Moody and
Sankey in Great Britain and America,
together with the Trials and Triumphs
of Faith as illustrated in the lives of
Patriarchs, Prophets, Kings and
Apostles. The book contains about
750 pages, and is sold at $500 and
$3.50, according to the binding.
These are not flush times, and
patched trousers, and turned gar
ments, are the really consistent and
natural result. Economical, home.
made dresses are now the rule rather
than the exception and serve to show
not only the great popular drift, but
also the very important part which
domestic Paper Fashions" sustain in
the economy of the household.
The May number of Ballou's
Monthly Magazine is issued, and con.
taics an immense variety of interest
ing matter, in addition to NJ. Quad's
great story of THAT Taylor Boy" one
of the most exciting continued stories
that the noted humorist of the West
ever wrote. Its interest continues to
increase, and much speculation will
be made as to what will be the boys
ultimate fate. That he will come out
all right, we feel assured. Published

Now while investigation is the
order of the day, We would like to
know why in blazes We cannot get a
letter here from Franklin or Mead
vile, the same day it is mailed? The
mail on the A. & G. w. R'y gets into
Oil City 90 minutes before the train
starts up the river. Now if this isn't
time enough to sort that mail, what
is the sense in running these fast mail
trainsY We would like to have some
body investigated, and further, we
would like this negligence remedied.
The "excess" on this o. C. g. A.
K. R'y, is something fearful to con-
template. The Gen. Pass. Agt. is de-
termined that passengers shall buy
tickets, or suffer in their most tender
point, I. e., the pocket book. For in.
stance, the price of a ticket from here
to Oil City is 75cts; fare on the cars,
sl,OO. So it is along the whole line.
Hence we advise the travelling public
to buy tickets.
Attention is called to the card of
Williams & Co., 1axidermists, Mead
vile, Pa, which appears in to.day's
REPUBLICAN. We have seen numer.
Gus specimens of their work, aud can
conscientiously recommend it to our
readers. Every sportsman occasion.
ally gets specimens which he would
like to preserve. To such we would
say, Williams & Co. will fix them up
for you in the bes. style, and at reas.
enable rates.

TIE VorE OF OREaoN.-The ineli-
gibiity of Watts, the crossroads
Republican elector in Oregon, is
generally admitted by partisans of
either class, and consequently but
very little surprise is occasioned by
the issuance of certificates to those
having the highest number of votes
who were qualified to fill the Office of
electors-Messrs. Cartright, Odell
and Cronin. The vote cast last We'd
nesday, therefore stand two for
Hayes and one for Tilden; but the
Republican electors subsequently
withdrew and prepared a paper pur-
porting to be the official canvas of the
electoral vote, giving the three votes
to Hayes, and appointed one OF their
number messenger to carry the re-
turns to Washington. It remains to
be seen whether sauce for the goose
will not be sauce for the gander, in
the game Of counting in OF candidates
or counting out Of votes.

Dramatic.

Mr.. Sawtelle's Dramatic Company
consisting of Mrs. Sawtelle, Mrs.
Douglas, Misses Firmin and Taylor,
and Messrs. Fraser, Gordon, White
and Harris-have performed in Co.
lumbia Hall several evenings the past
week, to large and delighted audi
ences. The play for the opening
night was the beautiful and affecting
drama, taken from Tennyson's poem,
of "Dora," entitled "Driven from
Home" in which the character of
Farmer Allen was assumed by Mr..
Sawtelle and that of Dora by his
wife. To affirm that the rendition OF
the leading parts was equal to that
generally offered on metropolitan
boards, is to accord less praise than
the merits of the performance justi-
fes. Mr.. Sawtelle's Farmer Allen
would be applauded in completion
with that of stars of the first magni-
tude, before the most fastidious au-
diences. Thursday evening "East
Lynne" was presented. Mr.. Saw
telle, as Sir Francis Levison, the
consumate villain, the libertine and
destroyer of domestic happiness, was
admirably depected, and the remain
ing parts contributed very much to
the effectiveness of the piece. Mrs.
Sawtelle, as Lady Vane, did remark
ably we'll, and established her claim
to much natural talent which has
been greatly improved by careful
study. In this piece likewise Mrs
Belle Douglass began to show he
capabilities, in the role of the anti
quated dame. Last evening, MIR
Sawtelle's masterpiece Rip Val
Wrinkle" was rendered, but owing t.
the lateness of the hour, we are TN
able to give any criticism of it
merits. Tonight the great sensa
tional play Of Under the Gaslisht'
, will be presented, one of the finest o
modern dramas. As this will be thu
last performance in the city, and tn
peice is one of the best, we expect t.
see q crowded house. The compan,
will go from here to Eastern Wash
ington, and perform at the principa
points on the Columbia river.

payment of tolls and to defend tn
place against the Burghers of Au

high hill stands a cross in honor O
the battle of Leipsic, and nearer tn,
river on second eminence is plant
ed another, in commemoration O
the battle Of Waterloo. On the op
posite side the river Ahrissues into
the Rhine. Several castles and vii.
lagos are rapidly passed but none Of
importance until we reach the ruins
of the ancient
CASTLE OF HAMMERsTEIN.
This is more than 800 years old
and was destroyed by the Archbishop
of Cologne in 1860. Here the EN-
peror Henry ~. took refuge for a
time during the revolt of his sons.
On the opposite side of the river.
AUDERNACH
is situated, and is one of the Oldest
cities ON the Rhine. It was from
tier station of the Romans. And is
said to have originated in one of the
Drusus' camps pitched on the spot,
The place is strongly fortified and
has splendid watch-tower near the
river, built in the early part of the
10th century which shows a breach
on the west side made by the French
guns in 1858, who at the same time
laid waste the whole palace of the
Archbishop of Cologne, the ruins of
which are still visible. From here
to Coblentz the banks of the river are
fiat and in striking contrast with the
rocky defile through which for miles
We lave been passing, and be-
tween the two places are many spots
of great interest. Opposite the
small but important town of Neu-
WED stands monument erected in
memory of the French General
Hoche, who here crossed the Rhine
in 1897 though strongly opposed by
the Austrian force. Not far from
here at Fingers, is the lace as some
antiquarians believe, where Caesar
made his second crossing of the
Rhine.
EHRENBREIsTEN.
This is the Gibralter of the Rhine
and connected with Coblenz by O
bridge of boats. Originally a strong
hold of the electors of Treves, it
was in vain besiesed by the French
army of Louis XIV. but fell before
the revolution of 1899. After being
reduced by famine to the greatest
extremity. On executing it the
French blew it up, and for some
years it remained q ruin. The Prus-
slams however since the peace of

sterling and its fortifcutions, and
been done all that can possibly be
accomplished to render it impregna-

E Every Grange should have a
library. If each member of the
Grange, having, say fifty members,
buys one book to read, and then passes
it round, that Grange will have at
once a library of fifty books. BY con-
sulting with each other before buy
ing, q great variety ofworks could be
obtained, and we are confident that
the study of fifty well selected books
will not only make the members Of
that grange wiser and better men and
women, but will confer practical
benefits on them of which they have
no idea.
