The division of Remove into
wards, makes but few trifiing
changes in our former rules of govern
ment. Each ward is made separate
election district. The burgess, assist
ant burgess, justice of the peace,
auditors. high constable and school
directors will be elected by the con-
current votes of the two wards. Each
ward will be entitled to three members
of council, constable and an assessor.
Those in office remain until the ex-
piration of the terms for which they
have been elected. The law also
provides that on the first Friday after
each borough election held in boroughs
divided, the judges of election of the
various wards shall meet at the place
of meeting of the town council, at 8
o'clock a. M, and canvass the votes
cast for officers elected by the concur
rent votes of the various wards, and
declare the result of such election, and
grant certificates to the persons elected.

they will erect buildings with view

Lucy Ann. Ordway. aged II wear

Lucy Ann. Ordway, aged II 7years,
died last Saturday, lst inst, at the res
idence of J. G. Chandler, on North
Creek, in Shipper township. Miss
Ordway had been working at Mr..
Chandler's about two weeks, and
during most of the time had been feel.
ing quite unwell. Thursday night
deceased was taken i'll with pain
in her head and sickness ut the
stomach. Her sickness continued un-
til her death-although there was
nothing alarming in her symptoms,
and she was able to be about the house
a portion of the time, Saturday morn
ing she got up and ate her break fast,
and afterwards laid down upon the
lounge and went to sleep. About 8
o'clock, while the family were at break
fast, deceased's little sister went into
the room, and found Miss Ordway in a
spasm; she called the family, and
they found her apparently dying.
She continued unconscious most of
the time until O'Clock, Saturday
afternoon, when she died. DIR. He'll
man was sent for but did not arrive
until after her death. Before death,
some red spots appeared on her face
and arms, and remained until her
burial, giving her such fresh and
life-like appearance that many of her
friends and neighbors did not believe
she was dead. DR.. Freeman, of
Smethport, was sent for, and inter-
ment delayed until Tuesday afternoon.
When DIR. Freeman arrived unmis-
taxable evidence of death had devel-
oped, but the life-like appearance re-
mained-the deceased being to all ap-
pearance In sweet sleep-her face
flushed, the color of ears and lips as
fresh as in life. The funeral took place
Tuesday afternoon. Cameron Press.

Proposed Railroad Extensions.
From the Brookyjlle Republican. I


We clip the following from the Pitts
burgh Commercial Gazette of last
Thursday, from which It appears
that an effort is being made to have
the Foxburg, st. Petersburg and
Clarion Narrow Gauge Railroad ex-
tended through to the Bradford oil
district. During the past few weeks
we have heard many reports concern
ing the location of the road, some of
our citizens who claimed to be posted
in the matter asserting that Brookville
was to be taken in on the route. 1t
will appear from this extract that we
are little "off the belt," line
through Forest county being proposed:
"a project is on foot to extend the
narrow gauge railroad from Foxburg
to Parker, and thence to Hilliard Mills,
to connect with the Shenango Valley
road, and eventually connect with the
Pittsburgh, New Castle & Lake Erie
road which will give continuous line
of narrow gague from this city to the
northern oil fields. A controlling in
terest in the Emlenton, Shippenville
& Clarion road has been purchased by
the Foxburgh, st Petersburgh &
Clarion Rail Road Company, and the
two roads will hereafter be run by the
latter company. The line will soon be
extended through Forest county to
Mexican. $4,000 of the 100000 re-
quired having been subscribed by Mrs.
MARY Fox, and the remainder will
probably be taken by philadelphia
parties who are interested in oil and
lumber lands lying between Clarion
and McKean'"
They seem to have the railroad fever
in other portions of our country, as
would appear from the following taken
from the Du Boise City Courier: "a
continually recurring period of rail-
road fever is a fixed principle of every
town in the country, Du Bois included,
and just now the town is suffering
from its favorite malady. 1t is asserted
and not without grounds, that a rail-
road will be built through this valley
in the near future The cause for
accepting the theory is based upon the
Erie road and a few less important
companies. Some of the leading men
of these companies have purchased
large quantities of coal lands in Elk
and Jefferson counties, and in order to
get out the coal road must be built to
some accessible point in Toby valley.
But two practical routes have presented
themselves; the one is down the
Clarion River from Ridgway to the
mouth of Toby, following the stream
to the coal beds at its source. The
other route is by Falls creek or Du
Bois, crossing the summit of the
mountain near the line of Lanes board
road, and down the Rattlesnake branch
to Brockwayville, which is one of the
objective points. Now a still more
feasible plan, it is argued, will be to
construct continuous route from
Ridgway, or some other point on the
p. & E. road, by way of the Clarion
to intersect the Low Grade at or above
Du Bois City. From that an extern
sion would in all probability be made
to open the coal fields of Punxsu-
tawney, which are among the best in
the State

"A movement is on foot at Harris
burg to secure an intelligent reform in
the laws of Pennsylvania relating to
the collection of debts. Since the
repeal of the national bankrupt act,
Pennsylvania, like the other states of
the Union, has been compelled to
rely on the local insolvent laws that
happened to be in force. In the
absence of a general bankrupt law the
State laws at once take effect. In
respect to its laws for the collection of
debts, Pennsylvania is, perhaps,
worse off than any of the other States.
In this State to day there is practically
no method by which the creditor can
collect his debts without great litiga-
ton if the debtor desires and endeavors
to avoid payment. The insolvent laws
now on the statute book are in all
essential respects the same as were in
eXistance 100 years ago. In other
directions the laws have been reformed
and improved as defects have been
revealed in the light of experience,
but it still continues to be impossible
for creditor to obtain any degree of
justice in the Courts of Pennsylvania
if his debtor is inclined to interpose
distractions. AS it is now, no mode
of procedure exists whereby debtor
can be compelled to disclose the true
condition of his affairs, and it is i'm
possible to prevent preferences on the
part of the debtors in the disposal of
their property. Phild. Record.

The new Presbyterian Chapel,
over Messengers drug store, was
formally opened on Sunday last. The
day was all that could well be desired.
Morning and evening the Chapel was
filled to its utmost capacity. The
number that can be comfortably seated
in this new place of worship is about
250, and more can be accommodated
by placing chairs in the aisles. The
seats are easy and the room tastefully
arranged. The carpenter work was
done by Messrs. Jackson & Bowers,
and the kalsomining and painting by
w. s. McVey. By day the large
windows on either side and at the
end of the room let in food of light.
By night two large chandeliers make
it as light as day. The doors at the
top of the stairs are hung with double
acting hinges, SO that in case of fire
the Chapel can speedily be vacated
without danger to the audience. The
windows are adorned with neat curtins
which help to give a home-like appear
ance to the room. The Presbyterians
can certainly congratulate themselves
on having an attractive and beautiful
place of worship.
