Mrs. VIM. Puninburg Of Kellettvlle
is visiting friends in the city and expects
TO return home the last of this week.
She was afflicted with a stroke of paraly
sis last fall and the present visit to Oil
City is expected to be Of great benefit to
her health. Mrs. PufIinburg was a resi-
dent here in 1866 before there was either
a sidewalk or a bridge in existence in the
| city and she is much impressed with the
rapid growth and many wonderful i'm
| provoments.-Der7T
Mrs. John A. Hart, of East Second
street, was painfully burned by a small
| explosion of gas on Friday night. She
had been absent from the house during
| the afternoon and before leaving had
! turned Off the gas in the kitchen stove,
but evidently did not turn the gas en-
tirely out. When she returned and put a
lighted match in the stove, the accumu-
lated gas exploded and burned her hand
so severely that she will not have the use
of it for a week or two.-- Derrick.

tly broke into the store of w. A. Buzzard,

The remains were taken to Tylersburg

lH-The jury list was unavoidably crowd
ed out of last weeks issue of the REPUB-
LICAN on account Of the large amount OF
space taken up by the election proclama-
ton. We are also very much crowded
on the same account this week, but this
is the last time it will have to run and we
Will have plenty OF space next week to
tell our readers all about the big Repub-
lican landslide and the election Of Nc
kinley The reason of the REPUBLICAN
being two days late last week was the
failure Of the official ballotto arrive from
Harrisburg. The law requires the pub
lication Of the election proclamation ten
days previous to the election, consequen-
tly we were compelled to wait until tho
official list of officers to be elected ar
rived.
As winter approaches we are again
bothered by a gorgeous influx" OF
tramps. 1t is evident that the borough
authorities have gone away on a visit
We believe there is a law in existence in
this place which requires tramps to pay
for their lodging by breaking stone. But
if such law is yet extant it seems to
have beeh forgotten, as the hobos are
given a nice, warm place to sleep and in
the morning are hidden good bye, and
one would naturally think, requested 10
call again. Then the festive hobo roams
the town at will and "panhandles his
chuck" That may be all right; we've
mo kick coming" on that. But when
these knights of the road become so bold
as to make indecent exposures of their
persons to the little girls of the town. il
might be well just merely to suggest to
the hustling and energetic gentlemen
VINO have been invested with the honor
Of handling the municipal affairs of this
beautiful little village, that it is about
| time they returned from dreamland
