To Improve the Allegheny.

A circular sent out by three of the
leading citizens of Tarentum, Pa, calls
attention to the interest that is being
manifested in the improvement of the
Allegheny river by building dams and
slackwatering it so that large boats can
traverse it during the entire year. The
circular refers to the efforts that Con-
gresham w. A. Stone has been making
to bring about this improvement. 1t
suggests that the officials of towns all
along the valley call meetings and bave
committees of influential men appointed,
to confer with similar committees from
the other towns, for the purpose of form
ing perfect organization.
]. w. Hemphill, president of the Ia
rantum committee, says that representa-
tives of that committee will attend the
meetings, if desired, and explain the
movement in detail.

The crows disappeared and never came

remembered by farmers and utilized for
next years crops.

FATAL WRECK AT NEBRASKA.
Tracey Lindsey Horribly Mangled and
Instantly Killed on the Logging
Railroad


An accident occurred on the log.
giug railroad of Collins e. Co. at Ne.
braska, Pa, shortly after noon on
Thursday last by which Tracey Lind.
sey lost his life in a shocking man.
ner. For some time he had been en-.
engaged as one of the brakemen on
the road. The cars Oh this road are
drawn up the valley of Little Coon
creek by an engine, the distance be-
ing from FIVE to six miles, where they
are loaded and run to the creek pond
by gravity, each car needing brake
man. Shortly after the severe storm
on Thursday five heavily loaded cars
started from the woods, in the follow.
ing order: Lindsey first, John Gould
second, John Young third, A. j,
Small fourth, and r. W. Guiton fifth.
The track being wet the cars we're
hard to manage. At the skidway
where the cars are loaded is a heavy
grade Of some rods. Both brakes are
set until the cars are over this grade,
when a stop is made and the front
brake loosened. Mr.. Small had
reached the foot of the grade and was
off his car attending TO this duty.
Mr.. Guiton's car was slipping a good
deal and he was unable to stop it,
aud as Mr.. Small got back on his car
Guiton's car struck it, knocking
Small back onto the rear car, thus
leaving his car without a brakeman
and he was unable to overtake it.
Young and Gould, who were ahead
of the runaway car, saw their dan
ger in time to save their lives, but
Lindsey, being on the head car, and
ON the lookout for fallen trees after
the storm, evidently did not see his
danger in time to leap from the car.
Hurrying on down the track some
few hundred yards, the men were
Mortified at what met their gaze.
There lay the unfortunate victim, his
head completely severed from the
body, both legs crushed and one arm
nearly cut off above the wrist. No
one had seen the accident, which hap.
pened but few feet below Ed. De.
woody's barn, which stands near the
track at Foxcreek, and it is reasoned
that Lindsey was unable to hear the
approaching cars on account OF the
wet track which seems to muffie the
sound. The cars left the track some
distance below where they were bad
ly wrecked. The accident was one
which, it would seem, no human
agency could have prevented.
The remains we're taken up and
tenderly cared for by the men, and
after breaking the news to his young
wife, they we're conveyed to his home,
which is not far from the village OF
Nebraska. The shock to his wife was
awful, and can better be imagined
than described. On Saturday morn
ing last the funeral was held, the in.
terment taking place at Scotch Hill
Clarion county, his former home
He was aged about "a years, and
had been married about year aud a
half, the wife with babe Of about
five months, surviving.
Coroner DR.. Morrow went up on
Saturday morning, bat, learning all
the facts in the case, did not deem il
necessary to hold an inquest.
