Homicide in Potter County.

Last Friday Messrs. George Chis-
cholm and Thomas Waters, both of
Hector, Potter county, had a row
which ended in the death of the latler.
A gentleman who was on the ground
soon after Waters death gives us the
following account of the case:
There had been for sometime q dis
pute between Chisholm and Thomas
Waters father, about the title of some
bark that Chisholm had peeled and
ranked up on Waters land. This dis
pute had finally got into court, where
it was recently decided in favor Of
Chisholm's claims, and it was adjudged
that he had right to go on e.nd re-
move the bark. About the same time
Chisholm had sworn out a peace war
rant against the elder Waters, and the
latter gave $500 bonds to keep tie
peace, and went to the State of New
York after the lawsuit was decided
Friday Chisholm went to Waters
place to get his bark but Mrs. Waters
and forbade him from taking the
bark and he finally agreed to wait
until Mr. Waters returned home be-
fore removing it. Later in the day
Tompson Waters and his brother
James came home and were informed
of what had taken place, and it is re-
ported that Thomas said if he had
been at home when Chisholm came
for the bark he would never have got
off the place alive. The two young
Waterses then started to look for CHS
holm, and drove near his house. James
remained in the wagon, while Thomas
went to the house and called for CHS
holm to come out. Chisholm told
yong Waters to come in if he wanted
to see him, Rut Waters declined the
invitation and again asked Chisholm to
come out, and the latter complied,
Waters then told Chisholm that he
understood he had been up after the
bark. Chisholm said lie had. Waters
said it was well for him that he
(Waters) wasn't there at the time, for
if he had been Chisholm would never
have left the place alive. Waters then
told Chisholm if he would come out
into the road, he would kill him.
Chisholm went into the road, and
Waters caught him by the coat-coIlar
and jerked him around some. When
Waters let go Chisholm told him if he
did that again he would shoot him.
Waters repeated the operation, and
Chisholm drew revolver and shot
Waters in the left side of the abdomen
a little above the groin.
The wound was inflicted about a
o'clock Friday afternoon, and Waters
died about IL O'Clock Sunday morn
lug. Drs. Button and Pitchard made
post mOrtem examination, and an
inquest was held Sunday evening, and
Chisholm was arrested and taken to
Jail at Coudersport. Our informant,
tells us that the popular feeling in the
neighborhood seems to be strongly in
favor of Chisholm Wells6oro Agito-
tor.

A Card.

Again we are called upon to express
our heartfelt thanks to our numerous
friends and the people of Ridgway for
the very efficient aid rendered us in
rescuing our goods from the ruthless
flames on the morning of the 29th nit,
We feel deeply grateful TO you ell
men, women, girls and boys. We are
now under full headway at the new
Grand Central, built since the fire, op-
posite side of the street from the old
place, where we will be happy to meet
you and express in person our graft
tude. POWELL & KIME.
P. S.-The conflagration was much
the most destructive with which our
town was ever visited. Many of the
sufferers will feel their loss severely,
all of whom have our sympathies.
But as citizens of Elk county we would
like to call attention to two exception
ally severe cases-the destruction of the
Democrat and ADVOCATE printing es-
Establishments, owned by Messrs. Miller
andParsons. These We're perhaps the
twb most useful institutions in our
m9ist. Both editors are gentlemen of
pluck and enterprise and are making
herculean efforts to re-establish them
selves; but their losses were very
heavy and insurance light. Now,
nearly all off us owe them small sums
for past services, small Insignificant
items in themselves but in the aggre-
gate quite sufficient to put them on
their feet again. Let every one of us
pay our just dues at once.

On Saturday evening last, Oct. 7, as
the Buffalo Express train was putting
out of SartweIl station seven miles
north of this place, fatal accident oc-
CURED in which a Frenchman whose
name is unknown in this vicinity lost
his life. The man in question was
walking down the track, somewhat
under the influence of liquor, when
about six or eight rods from the train
which was running at the rate of So
miles an hour, he stepped from the
track, but as the engine was on the
point of passing, he staggered toward
the track, the locomotive striking
him on the right side, throwing him
some distance, when picked up he
was unconscious, but soon came to and
was put on the train and brought to
this place and taken to the Sartwell
house, where he died a short time
afterwards, living from time of acci,
dent about two hours. G. NJ. N.

lmnorfnnt Decision.

In the United States Court, Pitts
burg, last Monday, Judge Turnkey de-
cided that railroad company must
honor its tickets, whosoever sells them,
and that therefore the ticket on its
face entities the holder to the rights of
a passenger between the points named
on the ticket. This opinion reverses
the Judgment of the lower court and
lays down the law in an Interesting
way upon one phase of the ticket
scalping business, Judge Turnkey is
most always sound on legal point.

The proper picking and packing
of apples is of great importance. The
best keeping sorts will not be pre-
served well unless the fruit is uniniur-
ed in gathering and packed securely.
The most approved method of picking
is by hand, with ladders, the fruit be-
ing put into grain sack. The bottom
and top of the sack are brought to-
gether and tied, and then hung upon
the shoulder. A short stick may be
used to keep the mouth of the sack
open. The sack is quickly and easily
emptied by lowering the mouth and
lifting up the bottom. The sack can
be lowered into the barrel and the ap-
pies will run out without being bruised
as when they are poured in from a
basket from the top, Many apple
growers prefer to put the fruitin heaps
for few days so that the skin may
tougher.

the perpetrators and their escape, were
for the most part, planned and executed
by jesse and Frank James. The states
of Missouri and Kansas suffered from
the work of the James boys until immi-
grafton was checked and business in
jared. The work of the dare-devils
grew more frequent and each time
waxed more daring. The present Gov
ernOr of Missouri and the managers OF
the various Western roads met a year
ago and offered large reward for the
capture of Jesse and Frank James, dead
or alive. he story of the killing of
Jesse James by one of the Ford boys, at
st. Joseph, Mo-, last April, is fresh in
the mind of the average reader. The
FOrds were living in Jesse's house, and
Jesse was living there under an assum-
cd name. He was hanging up picture
one day, having laid by his revolver for
moment, and was killed. The assassins,
who had been his companions In all the
crimes he had ever committed, gave
themselves up, were indicted, pleaded
guilty, and were pardOned at once by
Crittenden, the Governor OF Missouri.
With the killing of Jesse by those whom
he had trusted, was the final entering
wedge of the dissolution. The only man
out was Frank. and then it was that he
threw up his hands, for ever since Jesse
was killed, Frank has been busy seeking
to make negotiations looking to sur
render. He has accomplished it. He was
the younger of the two. He was more
reticent than Jesse, who had the dash of
Quantrell. The mother of the boy is
living on her farm yet in Clay county,
where she lived when her boys went out
to join the hand of revenge. Somebody
threw hand grenade in the window of
her house few years ago. 1t exploded,
blew off one of her hands and killed her
youngest child. The mother was true
to her children of the road, and took
risks and journeys to protect them. She
shared all of their TeVenges, and was al
ways their champion. When Jesse was
killed she at once began operations to
have Frank pardOned, and has sue
ceeded.

THF LEADING REPUBLICAN
NEWSPAPER ON THE RE-
PUBLICAN SPEAKER
OF THE HOUSE.

Mr.. Keifer stands for abOnt every
thing which the people disapprOVe in
the Forty seventh Congress, and for
very little of that which they desire in
the FOrty-eighth Congress. Such vindi-
cation as he may have from retaining
his seat is hardly enough to offset the
sweeping condemnation which he and
his methods received at the polls
throughout the State. We are not at all
prepared to see Mr.. Keifer admit the
fact, obvious as it is. He is a represen-
tatiVe man of the class to which he be-
longs. Coarse, tough, empty, preten-
tiOns, ambitious and vain, it would be
quite in his character to insist that if
all the Republican Congressman had
been like him Ohio would have been
carried with a rush. He believes in
taking the world as you find it, and he
finds it full of opportunities for sharp
pushing, unscrupulOus politician Who
is Gin politics for all it is worth" He can
hardly be made to understand the dis
gust with which honorable and sincere
Republicans, who adhere to their party
for the opportunity it affords to carry
out certain high purposes, regard him
and those who work with him.-New
York Times. .

A ROMANTIC WASHIN GTON
MARRIAGE.

At Washington on the 18th. Lieuten-
ant Converse, of the Third Cavalry, and
Miss Jenkins, daughter of Admiral
Jenkins, were married at the residence
of the brides father. Lieutenant Con-
verse, while on duty with his regiment
this summer, received a dangerous
wound in the head in an engagement
with Apache Indians. He lO+t an eye,
and probing showed that the ball could
not be extracted because of it's prOximi-
ty to the brain. Since then he has been
recuperating, but so slowly as to lead
the surgeons to advise another effort to
remove the ball as the only hope of re-
storing him to health. He assented to
their wishes on condition that he should
be married before submitting himself
to their hands. This event acquires
special attention on that account. He is
a son of Congressman Converse.
