the ordinance prohibiting same will be
enforced to the very letter during the en-
tire winter, and all violators will be
dealt with as the penalties of the ordi-
nance direct. A word TO the wise 10Y
ought to be sufficient, whether it is or
not the future will develope.
Thieves made raid on f. E. Dick,
Tionesta's up-to-date tailor, last Satur-
day night, and relieved him Of four pairs
of pants, two coats and two vests. An
entrance to lis place was effected through
prying open the door in the rear of the
building. Mr.. Dick was absent from
town that night which was evidently
known to the thief or thieves, and this
would indicate that local talent had a
hand in the job.
Superintendent Stitzinger in an ar
ticle in to-day's paper announces the
principal attractions, in the way of lect-
ures and instructors, that have been en-
gagged for the forthcoming teachers in
stitute beginning at the court house one
week from next Monday, 2ith inst. The
array of talent is evidently a good one,
and the sessions will doubtless be highly
entertaining. There should be no lack
of effort on the part of all to make the in
stitute success.
Ed. Sanner met with painful acci-
dent at the mantel factory last Thursday
morning while working at one of the
planers. His left hand was drawn into
the machine and so badly lacerated that
it was necessary to amputate about one
half of the third finger. The second fin
ger was also considerably torn and cut
but will be saved. DR.. Bovard performed
the necessary surgery, and the injured
hand is doing well.
-Tionesta has now curfow ordinance,

O'Clock from October first to April lst,
and at nine o'clock from April lst to
October lst, and unless accompanied by

-Diphtherias ravages has made sad
havoc in the family of George NJ. Taylor
of Titusville, having taken off three of
the children within the past two weeks,
and the remaining two children are in
great danger from the terrible infection.
Mr.. Taylor was for a number of years a
resident of this county, being employed
with Wheeler & Dusenbury at sEndeavor
until last spring. Sympathy with the
parents is very general and heartfelt
among their former neighbors at that
platce.
"A crew OF eight men besides the pi
lot, Conrad Sibble, on one of the flat boat
fleets that recently went down the river,
came near being cremated one morning
while they were asleep in their hunks.
Tho shanty took fire and was wei! under
way when they awoke about half past
four in the morniug, and they had to
scramble to get out, leaving their cloth
ing, except such as they had on, to the
fiery element. Every member of the
crew lost more or less, one man having
about thirty dollars worth of clothing
burned.
An exchange says in Western town
the Odd Fellows hall is located on floor
above the opera house. On recent lodge
night when the iuitiatory degree was be-
ing conferred, gas explosion took place
in The opera house beneath. The floor of
the lodge room was raised six feet and
! the ceiling came down to meet it. The
members, of course. fled panic-stricken,
| Eventually one of the braver ones re-
turned and found the candidate standing
in the debris "wating for the rest of it."
1t took several minutes to convince the
candidate that the explosion was not a
part of the regular performance.
A correspondent of the Ridgway Id
Uocdte, writing from Loleta, the new
town in Elk county established about
two years ago by Messrs. Amsler IL Am
sler, of Marienvile, says; Our town

sists of twenty-nine dwelling houses, two
boarding houses, two livery stables, one
blacksmith shop, one large store and
postoffice, lath mill, board mill, shingle
mill, broom handle factory, large school
house, two grades, and company ice
house. This is quito a place for business.
The same correspondent states that JOS
eph Campbell has gone to West Virginia
to invest in some timber down there.
-"The absorption of the Western New
York & Pennsylvania railroad by the
Pennsylvania was the best thing that
ever happened TO it," said an old W. N.
Y. d p. employee in Buffalo. 81 was
afraid that ihe concentration of forces
would result in many men being dis
charged, but instead we find that more
men are given employment. Freight
and passenger business on the Buffalo di.
vision is tremendous, and it will remain
so with the p. r. RS big influence back
of it. 1 understand that twenty-five
more men are employed in the operating
department to-day and the station forces
at many points have been increased."-
