Former Oil City BOv in Trouble,

Yesterdays Derrick gives this interest
ing account Of the rather checkered ca
reer of q once industrious and promising
youth. The story has its moral
Chief of Police G.. NJ. Timlin left yester-
day afternoon for Elmyrs, n. Y, where
he will appear as a witness against Mort
inner McMullen, former resident Of this
city, and one Dwyer, both of whom were
arrested by the cheif about two years
ago. 1t will be remembered that the po-
lice we're called to dispatch gang of
tramps located at the south end OF the w.
n. Y. & p. railroad bridge, crossing oil
Creek. When the policeman arrived at
the place Dwyer and some companions
turned on Mr.. Timlin and fought him
desperately and McMullen stole the po-
liceman's revolver and fired FIVE sh OTIS at
him, but was captured, He and the re-
mainder Of the gang were sentenced &c

five men were arrested in Elmyra and

members OF this gang. They were sent
to Jail Cor term of 90 days for trespass'

Almost a Big Blaze.

What might have proven the most de-
structive fire in Tionesta's history was
happily averted by the prompt response
of the fire laddies, between eleven
and twelve o'clock last Friday night.
viii and James Hood who had been at
tending sociala Mr.. Lanson's residence,
started for home little earlier than the
others, and as they came out ofthe house,
they discovered the rear wing of the Cen
tral House was on fire. Losing no time
to give the alarm the hose carts were
quickly brought into requisition, and a
stream of water was playing on the fire,
which almost instantly succumbed.
The fire very likely caught from the
flue, and the occupants Of the room in
which it burst out being at the social,
was not discovered until it had gotten
under considerable headway. A strip
about two feet wide and extending from
the floor of the upper story to the caves
of the roof was burned in tho north side
of the wing of the building and all the
damage done is covered by insurance.
Had the fire gotten beyond control il
would have doubtless taken Robinson's IS
large store building, the borough build
ing and the postofiice along that row.
There was a hasty scrambling of the
guests at the hotel to get out, and some OF
them found it convenient to bring their
belongings outside before completing the
arrangement of their toilet.
A lucky escape.

RECENT DEATHS.


VIM. Thomson, whose death occurred
on Tuesday night, March l, ls9s, was the
eldest son of John aud Jeunette Thom-
son, Of Stewards Run, this co%gEfy, and
was born Dec. I, 1851. He came to Tio-
nesta about years ago from Nebraska,
Pa, where he had been in the employ of
Collins, Kreitler & Co. for number Of
years. He was man of strict integrity,
honorable and upright ia all his business,
and was highly respected by all who
knew him. For some time Mr.. Thorn
sons health had been falling, hut the end
was sudden. An attack of cold or la
grippe contracted about ten days prior to
his death, was apparently yielding to
treatment, until three days before his
death, when it became evident that his
lungs were seriously affected, aud that
his end was near He expressed him
self as ready to go, realizing that near
ness of the Saviour that takes away the
sting Of death and robs the grave of its
victory.
The funeral services, conducted by his
pastor, ]. V. McAniuch, were held in the
Presbyterian church, of which the de-
ceased was member, on Thursday
evening, and was largely attended. Ais
was the second death in family Of hine
boys and three girls, ali but two of whom
were present at the funeral. On Oct. 10,
1881, Mr.. Thomson was married to Mary,
eldest daughter of Capt. and Mrs. c. w.
Clark, who, with six children-three boys
and three girls are left to morn their
loss, and who have the sympathy of a
large circle of friends.
PHILIP WOLF.
Peter Wolf was born in Obsrhilber-
sheim, Germany, October 2l, 1914. At
the age of about 10 he came to America
and lived for unmber of years in Lam
caster and Pittsburg Pa, after which he
came to this vicinity. Mr.. Wolf was
united in marriage TO Christina E. Kline
silver October Ia, 1850, in Tionosta, Pa, .,
by Rev. Fair. He was wagonmaker
by occupation but followed farming from
the time of his marriage until the infirm l.
tiles of old age rendered him unfit to fol-
low his accustomed avocation. He was
confirmed in the German Reformed
Church in Germany by Rev. A. F. Mil
| Ter, but has been member of the M. E'
Church for the past % years. Mr.. Vol
lived quiet and peaceful life, and on
Wednesday, February %, 1898, he died
patient and submissive death, aged 81
years, four months and two days. We
have reason TO believe that he heard that
welcome summons, "come up higher"
and has gone to an eternal rest. He was
the father of three sons and two daught-
ers, three of whom, William Henry, Mrs
Frank Gillespie and Jennie, with theil
mother, survive the husband and father
| The funeral services were conducted on
the Friday following by Revs. G. II
Frampton, w. II. Robinson and A. O.
Hynd, after which the body was laid tc
rest in Washington Cemetery. A. II.

MUST KISS In CHURCH.
New Religion i'm Kansas which
- Should Prove Popular.

The first general assembly of THE
Church OF God and Saints OF Christ
convened in Emporia, Kas.. Saturday,
says an exchange. The head Of the
church is Bishop William s. Crowdy,
a negro, who claims to have had a
divine revelation and was ordered to
preach the gospel as revealed to him.
The principal feature of the religion
he breaches is observance of the sew
enth day as Sabbath, baptism by burial
into tho water. wine forbidden to be
drunk in the church of God forever.
foot washing AS a commandment and
breathing the holy ghost on disciples
with a kiss
Crowdy has been wonderfully sue
ceSsful and has established ten
churches in ten Of the largest cities in
Kansas. all in less than a year since he
claims TO have had his revelation.
A strange thing to some is the fact
that among his followers the color line
is obliterated and blacks and whites
affiliate and share the same seat and
kiss each other when at church serv-
ices. Many of his followers are in
telligent, educated whites, who have
always heretofore stood well in this
community.

SUING WITH AvIDITY.


Kentucky's rural attorneys never
overlook chance to turn railroad ac-
cidents into coin of the realm, accord
ing TO the San Francisco Argcnaut.
Not long ago Thomas IA. johnson, an
employe of the Illinois Central railroad,
was Killed while leaning out from the
top of car. Before the widow even
knew all the particulars OF his death
letters were showered in upon her by
lawers along the line of the road. In
due time the coffin bearing the remains
of the unfortunate man reached the
mourning widow. IL was opened, and to
the coat sleeve OF the dead mans grave
clothes was pinned a note. written by
a lawyer near the scene of the accident.
Offering to prosecute the road for a.
percentage of the damages.
Another story Is told illustrating the
avidity with which the Illinois Central
is sued. Emory A. Storrs. the famous
Chicago lawyer, was approached by an
old man with note one day. The note
had been found among the effects of a
deceased relative.
What's the nature OF the note,"
asked Mr.. Storrs.
II don't know, sir" answered the old
fellow.
Have you any idea who wrote it?"
asked Mr.. Storrs.
