One Of the locomotives Of the Collins
e Watson railroad went through the tres
Tie forming the approach to the bridge
which crosses the creek at Ross Run last
| Friday. Frost and rain had weakened
the -pinningN and when the en-
gine attempted TO pass over the structure,
sank down and rolled over Engineer
Al. whitehill, Fireman Shoup, Conduc-
tor Euos Blauser, Squire Leon Watson
and Supt. Geo. +. Watson were on the
engine or train but all jumped in time to
save the e.nselves from any injury.
Among the heaviest losers by the re-
cent breakup in Tionesta creek was
Wheeler * Osgood, a number of whose
lumber piles, located a short distance
above the bridge at Lynch, were taken
by the gorge, amounting to about $4,000
feet. II. d. Collins sustained consider
able loss by the carrying away of two or
three biidges and injury to several dams.
The breakup was one ofthe severest that
has been experienced by Tionesta creek
lumbermen for several years, and it is
fortunate there wasn't more damage done
considering the great thickness of the ice.
The woman whose dislike ofcamphor
aud moths is about equally balanced need
no longer ponder the question AS %
whether 1t is better to go forth in moth
eaten raiment or to leave trail Of cam
phorated atmosphere in her wake. This
coming season will find a new moth pre-
ventive against the ravages of the moth
on the market to which no objections can
be made. 1t is combination of chips
from cedar of Lebanon and pure gum
camphor, which, it is said, has distinctly
pleasant odor besides being thoroughly
ellicacious in keeping the moth from
feeding on ones best frock. 1t is not OK
pensive, and the coming 'eason will see
it quite generally in use.-Er.
