AN OLD SETTLER GONE.
Isaac Morrison, Highly Respected Old
Man of Beechwoods Died Sunday.

Last Sunday forenoon Joseph Morr-
son, OF, this place, received word that
his brother, Isaac Morrison, of Beech
woods, was very near deaths door. Our
townsman started Immediately to his
brothers bedside, but ere he arrived ut
his destination his brothers spirit had
departed to that "bourne from whence
no traveller e'er returns" Pneumonia
was the cause OF death, and IL done Its
work quickly. Isaac Morrison was one
of the Oldest farmers OF Beechwoods.
He had succeeded in accumulating con-
siderable Of this worlds goods. His
dealings with his fellow men were such
as to gain for him the reputation Of
being an honorable and upright man.
In 1891 or ~, when Isaac was lad
10 or II years old his parents moved
from Ireland TO America and settled in
the Beechwoods, which was something
like sixty-fve years ago, the deceased
being In the neighborhood of Is years
old. A wife, who has been an invalid
10 or Is years, three sons, two daugh-
ter, two brothers, Joseph, of this place,
and John, of Brockwayville, a sister in
the west, aud number Of near relatives,
survive the deceased. Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac Morrison have been making their
home with their oldest son, William,
near Coal Glen, for sometime. The
deceased owned what is known as the
Sankey property on jackson street. in
this place. The mortal remains OF
Isaac Morrison were laid in the Beech
woods cemetery yesterday forenoon,
followed thither by host of sorrowing
friends who were anxious to pay their
last tribute to one whom many, that are
now past the meridian Of life, had
known and loved from their childhood
days. Rev. Hill, pastor Of the Presby-
rian church, of which the deceased was
member, conducted the funeral SER

1t was Varioloid.

A. d. Deemer, of Brookville, denies
that there is smallpox at that place, as
stated by some of the county papers,
Dubois Courier.
This paper was the first one to make
the statement that there was case Of
smallpox in Brookville, and the state
ment was not made on idle rumor. We
got our information from two or three
honorable gentlemen whose word we
would not think of doubling. Since
the above small item appeared in the
Courier last. Saturday we have made
further inquiry and find the following
to be the facts in the case. When
Taylor got sick several doctors at the
county seat held a consultation over the
case and could not agree as to whether
it was varioloid or smallpox, however,
the smallpox sign was tackled on
Taylor's house where it remained almost
a week. 1t turned out to be case of
varioloid and the patient is able to be
around again. We are glad it did not
develope into case of smallpox, but it
was the next door to it,

Only talk yet.

There Is some talk of forming a stock
company in this place to invest 81, 900
or $1,000 in an already established
enterprise with view Of increasing the
capacity of the plant and making it
good thing for the community. The
parties at the head Of the project have
requested that little be said about the
matter until the plans are consummated
and the scheme be an assured thing.
The reasons given for saying little about
it, is because there are men in this
town who would do all they can to dis
courage such an enterprise, judging by
their conduct in the past when any
thing is talked of for the good of the
town. They seem to take delight in
throwing cold water on anything that
savors of enterprise and push. We are
sorry for the man who owns property in
a town whose soul is so shriveled and
distorted that he will sit still and see
his neighbors work, scramble and give
their means TO forward the interests Of
the town, enhance the value of his
property, and yet is too narrow-minded,
selfish and dwarfed to give cent, or
even to give a word of encouragement
to business projects where all are
equally interested, but rather discour-
age all enterprises.

The Tramp Side-Tracked.

Heavy baggage and the large amount
Of special scenery and effects of the

day, but in the evening "Side-Tracked"

ence, and good-sized one, too. The
tramp Of the play has STAT" part, and
he makes the most Of it. A Dutchman,
an Irishman, and several others are
engaged in perpetual fun-making efforts,
and right we'll they succeed. 1t is a
capital farce-comedy and we'll presented.

Too Much "Tangle Foot"

A man named Jones from Eleanora,
who had imbibed too much "tangle
foot" gave an exhibition on Main street
last Wednesday evening of how an in
toxicated individual can get into bug
gy at one side and fall out at the other,
collide with hitching and awning posts
without breaking the vehicle, upset the
buggy and escape without injury to
himself and demolish the buggy. All
this Jones was successful in doing
and was afterwards locked in the
Reynoldsville bastile for the night and
fined three dollars Thursday morning.
In attempting to make quick turn Off
Main onto Russ street is where the up
set occurred which resulted in disfigur-
ing the buggy and landing Jones behind
the iron bars of our prison.

Thursday Nights Fire.

About 1890 Thursday night the cry
of "firel' and the ding-dong of the fire
alarm bell called our citizens hastily
from their homes, some from their
warm beds, TO look for the cause of the
alarm. The dwelling of Joseph Mon
euro, an Italian, almost on the extreme
end of East Main street, was found to be
afire. The fire companies responded
promptly, but the fire had started in
the basement and the house was almost
fifteen hundred feet from the nearest
water plug and by the time hose enough
was connected to reach The house the
fire had gained such headway there was
no hopes OF saving the building and the
firemen turned their attention to saw
ing the buildings on each side of the
burning structure, for these were on
fire once or twice and would have gone
up in smoke had it not been for the
good water system. The origin Of the
fire is unknown. 1t started in the base
ment of the house and the family did
not succeed in getting their goods out.
Moncuro had $4,000 insurance on the
house and household goods.
