OUR EXAMPLE

1t is gratifying to note that Los Ange-
les is taking the lead in public affairs, and
that the advantages we receive from La
Fiesta have induced San Francisco to
agitate the question of holding an annual
festival in that city. This alone is sutfi-
cient to arouse the utmost exertions on
the part of the people OF this city to make
La Fiesta a grand success. The San Fran
cisco merchants and newspapers realize
that the fame of California will be greatly
enhanced, when it earns a reputation as
place of amusement and recreation as
well as one beneficial to health.
The fact, however, that other cities in
this state have inaugurated a movement
of this character, will not injure our carni-
val. The tourist, who generally arrives
in Southern California during the latter
part of January or the commencement of
February, will have an opportunity to
visit the orange groves and citrus belt of
this section during the two months that
intervene between his arrival and the car
nival
After having observed our marvellous
resources, our semi-tropic fruits, our
balmy climate and picturesque scenery,
he can devote two months longer to amuse-
ment. He will witness the grandest of
all carnivals and the most unique fes IT,
val, with all its distinctive features, in
Los Angeles. Then he will enjoy the
magnificent display OF flowers at Santa
Barbara. He can then turn north and
take part in the Mardi Gras that San
Francisco may successfully carry out, and
when he leaves California he will be con-
vinced that no state in the Union offers
such diversified and interesting advantages
for health and pleasure as our own favored
state.
Then California will offer The attrac-
tions Of Italy and France combined

Reunion Of the Old SD.

The annual reunion of the Eighty
third Regiment, P. ", was held at
Exposition Park, Conneaut Lake,
Thursday, August %, 1895, aud was
one of the most successful events of
the kind in the history of this famous
regiment. There we're about rs of
the "old boys" present. The meeting
was held in Floral hall, Captain
Peter Grace, of jamestown, N. Y,
presiding at the business meeting.
Treasurer A. B. Edison reported a
fund of $3.50 in the treasury. Ex.
Sheriff A. H. Burnett, of Mercer,
chairman of the committee of ar.
rangements, explained the cause
which led to the change of dates in
holding the meeting. Chautauqua
Lake was fixed on as the place OF
meeting for the next three years, and
the last Tuesday in August the date
for holding the same.
The election of officers followed
and resulted: President, j. E. Swap,
of Erie; first vice president, NJ. j.
Olds, of Erie; second vice president,
D. S. CUtler. Guys Mills; treasurer,
A. B. Edison, Meadville; secretary,
D. B. Foote, Wattsburg; chaplain,
Colonel d. G. Mccoy, Meadville.
There was some little trouble in
securing the proper person for the
latter place, as no ministers were
present who belonged TO the regiment
Colonel Mccoy, on being elected
thanked his comrades and congratu.
lated them on the fact that, from
what he knew of the Eighty.third in
this line, there would be few present
at the religious services of the reg
iment.
After some other routine business
the old soldiers, their wives aud fam,
lilies repaired to the steamboat land
ing and took trip around tho lake
on the steamer IriquOis. The ride
was complimentary on the part o
the chief officer, President Grace
who received a vote of thanks and
three cheers from his old comrades. -

Shot his Antagonist.

A dispatch to the Derrick from
Pittsburg, dated Aug. "a. says: j. r.
Riddle aud Marion Jarrard, two
bumpers in the employ of the South
Penn Oil company, engaged in an
alteration at 7 O'Clock this morning
at Warrington, w. Va, when the
former drew a revolver and shot Jar.
rard in the stomach, death ensuing
within ten minutes. Riddle at once
gave himself up and was taken to
FairmOunt aud lodged iu jail. Jar.
rard was only married about six
months ago. The cause that led to
the tragedy could not be learned, but
the coroner's inquest, which is to be
held this evening, is expected to
throw some light on the deplorable
affair"
The foregoing is believed to have
reference to James Riddle, a former
Tionesta boy, whose initials are the
same. The outcome of the unfortu.
nate affair will be watched with much
interest by his former friends in this
place.

The swing bridge across Tionesta
creek, which was erected by Wm.
Lawrence for bis own convenience,
is a private affair but at the same
time he has no objection to its use COR
the purpose intended, by any one
having occasion to cross the creek.
What Mr.. Lawrence does seriously
object to however, is having the
bridge used as a trysting place for
lovesick men and maidens who have
been in the habit of going there to
plight their troth and incidentally to
swing and swing and swing. The
latter is hard on the constitution of
the bridge and Mr.. Lawrence wants
it stopped.
Last Saturday afternoon a IA
year old son Of Sol. Mitchlin of Ne.
braska, in company with Mr.. Mitch.
Inns sister and two children started
to drive with horse and buggy, to
Tionesta. While coming down No.
bic hill near the residence of VIM.
Hood, the harness gave way letting
the buggy upon the horses heels
which frightened the animal into
running away. The occupants of the
vehicle we're all thrown out with the
result that the boy had an arm bro.
ken and the others we're badly
bruised and shaken up. The buggy
was completely demolished but the
horse escaped injury.
Hon. Rasselas Brown, the old.
est and most highly respected mem.
Der of the Warren county bar, died
at bis home in Warren, Pa, at 8
o'clock on Friday morning. He was
born September 10. 1912, and dur.
ing his long, energetic and useful life
he enjoyed, to an enviable degree, the
esteem and confidence of his fellow
members of the bar and the citizens
of Warren county alike. For many
years be was the senior member of
the widely known firm of Brown &
Stone; his associate being Hon. G..
w. Stone. He was lifelong Dem.
ocrat, and on that ticket was elected
Judge of his district. No man in
Warren county stood higher in the
estimation of his people than Judge
Brown.
Our citizens are considerably
worked up over the passage through
our streets of the load of nitro. gly-
cerine which exploded with such ter.
rible effect on Thursday. Steps are
being taken to verify the facts as to
its transportation through the streets,
when the city authorities will be
called upon to interfere and bring
the responsible parties to punishment.
The ordinance provides for a heavy
fine and punishment, and the people
feel that it is time an example was
made of some one. -Franklin Ne,cs

we'll known, that scarcely a week
passes that a load of glyceriDe is moi
