SuperannuatiOn Fund.

In connection with the pension fund
of the Pennsylvania railroad, the great
advantages of the superannuation fund
of the relief department seems to be
overlooked and not generally under
stood.
Take a case which will come under
the rules of the two funds above men
toned. He is II years of age and has
been in the service AZ years. His
average monthly pay for the last ten
years was sos. Therefore, he will re-
ceive from the pension fund forty
seven per cent. of SOS, which is S31. .96.
He was also in the relief department
from the start in the fourth class, with
four additional death benefits. This
will entitle him to receive from the
superannuation fund $6.72 per month,
in addition to the pension fund of
S31.96 per month. From this Sc. 72 per
month, will be deducted So. 90 to keep
up his death benefits of $4,000. Thus
he will receive S36.0S per month and
iilo llC liiouI 6i1SC VI tCdlll DSIlSllUS pdltt
up.
The amount received from the super
annuation fund depends upon the
amount the man has paid into the re-
lief and is calculated by multiplying
the number of years he has been in the
relief department by the number of
calendar months of the year and this
by the number of his class in the relief.
Thus, the above amount of Sc. 10 is
arrived at as follows: Assuming that
the man above referred to would be
retired on February 1, 1900; fourteen
years multiplied by twelve months
equals 1853 multiplied by four equals
S672 The So. 60 per month deducted,
which is for death benefits, is eight
times forty-fve cents, the rate of death
benefits for forty-fve years or over,
when entering the relief department.
1t is reported that the number of
pensioners, after the first lot of re-
tirements, made by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, the first of the
year, would be between 1 800 and 1000.

MURDER AT DRIFTWOOD.
Robert Kane Shoots Stephen Cleary,
Killing Him Instantly-The Coro-
ner's Inquest-rlurderer
in Jail.

Driftwood was thrown into great ex-
element last Thursday evening, over
the news that murder had been COM
mitted within the Borough limits, in
the office of the Lafayette Hotel. The
facts as near as we can procure them
are as follows: Two of Driftwood's
young men, Robert Kane, aged IS
years and Stephen Cleary, aged 20
years, engaged in quarrel over some
trivial matter and both lads caught
each other by the shoulders, each
boasting that he was not afraid of the
other. Kane, the younger lad, who
has violent temper and at times is
very irritable, drew revolver from his
hip pocket and placing it at Cleary's
left temple pulled the trigger. Cleary
died almost instantly. The spectators
in the office were dumfounded and al
lowed the murder to make his escape,
although he was later captured at the
home of his mother, by Justic Walter
Youthers, who Immediately wired to
this place for Sheriff Swope, who left
on Erie mail and returned to EmpO-
rum on Flyer with the prisoner, who
was placed in Jail, where he will re-
main until April court for trial for this
horrible and uncalled for crime.
The cause of the crime is hard to de-
eide and many express the opinion
that young Kane, not knowing the
danger of a revolver, did not intend
to shoot but pulled the revolver to
bluff Carey. We do not know any
thing as to the character of the prison
er. The murdered young man is very
highly spoken of by the citizens of
Driftwood.
Justice Of the Peace Youthers en-
pannelled a jury and held an inquest,
which returned a verdict in accordance
with above facts, "that Stephen Carey
came to his death by a shot from re-
colvcr fired by the hand of Robert
Kane.'

A Standard Among Newspapers.

Rejecting in its widening circulation
and increased advertising patronage
the prosperity that marks the opening
of the new year, The Pittsburg Times
more than ever impresses upon its
readers the excellence of its high
standard and the success of its efforts
to make a model paper for the indi-
vidual and for the family. The Times
is newspaper, sparing no pains Eor
expense to cover the world thoroughly
every day, that its current page of
history may be complete, and in its
longer range overlooking nothing that
occurs at home 1t is clean, dignified
and reliable, certain that no lack of
these features can be made up in
offensive sensationalism. 1t can be
taken into the family circle with conf
dence that its columns are filled with
wholesome instruction and entertain
ment. WLarever known The Times is
recognized as the best type of con-
else, crisp and complete newspaper,
and among newspaper men it is the
publication with which comparisons of
excellence are made. While The Times
is Republican in politics it realizes that
others have right to be on earth and
that politics are not everything. When
one cent day will buy a morning
paper it is foolish to be without one.

The Ice Crop.

The Mirror and Farmer says that aside
from the financial advantages accruing
from the use Of ice upon the farm there
are uses to which it is put that contribute
to the comfort and enjoyment of the farm
er and his family. The intense strain
that was once borne by the farmers in
general towards making everything con
tribute to the improvement Of the farm or
to the bank account has been superseded
by Il desire on their part to enjoy some Of
the comforts and luXuricS of life, and this
we believe to be wise within reasonable
limit. The driving horses, top buggies,
good clothes, pianos and vacation days
taken are evidence Of this disposition on
their part and the liberal use of ice upon
farms where generation ago it was un-
known is in keeping with the spirit of
the times so far as its family use is con-
cerned. This disposition to enjoy more
is not confined to farmers, for we find all
classes OF people spending more money
with each succeeding year for things that
crafty their senses in some way. When
this is not carried beyond certain limit
it is wise. Every person, whatever may
be his occupation, should strive to keep
his expenditures inside of his receipts and
should plan his expenses in such way
as to save something every year, barring
unexpected expenses from accident OF
sickness. After this has been done we
like to see the enjoyment that comes to
the family from thejudicious expenditure
Of money. This phase of the question is
however, quite foreign from that upon
which we begun and we return and urge
farmers to lay in supply Of ice mainly
tor its financial value in various ways and
incidentally for the pleasure that will be
derived from its use.

Deaths DoingS.
MOORE.


ISAAC MOORE, aged 5S years, after
long and painful illness, died at the
City Hotel, Emporium, on Monday
evening. The funeral was held at the
M. E. church yesterday at 200 p. m.,
Rev. Shriner officiating. The deceased
had resided in this county during the
past twenty or twenty-five years and
followed the occupation of cook in the
lumber camps. He was very quiet and
industrious gentleman and gilmore than
average intelligence. Isaac Moore was
a strictly sober and honest gentleman,
and while his health was rapidly fail
ing, his remarkable grit kept him up
in his battle for life, but his disease
proved the victor and on Monday
morning he was found lying upon the
floor of his room unconscious He
peacefully passed away at 1920 Mon
day evening.
Deceased was member of Empo-
rum lodge, No. 9S4, |. o. o. F., under
whose auspices the funeral was con-
Quoted, the Odd Fellows and the
Daughters of Rebekah attended the
services in body.
The absent relatives of the deceased
reside at Canesraga, N. Y, and it may
be consoling to them to know that the
esteem and respect in which he was
held by all who knew him was mani
tested by the large attendance at the
funeral. Peace to his ashes.
Mansfield Moore, of Canesraga, N.
Y, a brother of the deceased, arrived
in Emporium yesterday in time for the
funeral, thereby somewhat changing
the arrangements made. He left this
morning for home with the remains of
his brother.

At $50 o'clock in the morning a crowd of
