The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1901-09-18

Notwithstanding the Grand Jurors
for next weeks term of court have been
notified that their services will not be re-
quired, the session promises to last the
entire week, owing to the presence on the
trial list of number of causes which
will take up much of the courts time.
The Northwestern Association Of G.
A. II. which holds its annual meeting
at Warren, Oct, 2, is preparing for a large
gathering of veterans. A 2.cent-a-m mile
rate has been arranged on the railroads.
Cards emitting the holder to this rate can
be had by addressing DR.. ]. W. Morrow,
Tionesta, Pa.
Upward of fifty tickets were sold at
this station for the special Oil City Fair
train last Thursday, and quite number
went down on the regular train an hour
or so later. The threatening weather in
the morning kept many at home who
had intended going. The two Hickorys
and Endeavor also furnished number
of visitors.
In his sermon at the Presbyterian
church last Sabbath evening Rev. j. V.
McAninch dwelt feeliugly upon the
great cloud of sorrow which enveloped
the American people in the loss of their
beloved chief magistrate. Scathing ref
erence was also made to yellow Journal
ism as prominent factor in the encour-
agement of anarchistic tendencies.
-Messrs. Hunter aud Fleming who
have charge OF the Warren Lumber Co.'S.
yard at Grunderville have launched two
barges thus far which will be floated to
market on the present flood. Joseph
Morgan has turned five fiat boats for the
company and will probably dump two
mole this week. The wet weather has
greatly hindered barge and boat building
operations.
The Water Co. has just completed the
work of replacing upward of 1000 feet of
its tile supply line with six inch metal
pipe. The tileing has proven complete
failure as supply where it comes
through the woods, roots and fibrous
substances having found their way
through the joints and in many places al
most completely filled the line. Next
season the entire line will likely be re-
placed with iron.
The Derrick is healthy, vigorous
one at the age of 30 years, which it at
tanned on the llth inst. Always arrow
ing better, like good wine, its popularity
under the management of veteran Pat
Boyle scarcely knows any bounds. We
couldn't get along without the Derrick
and we don't need to for it bids fair at
the present rate to prosper and flourish
right through to the end of the century.
And here's hopin'-
Joseph Moran, proprietor of bot
tling works at Titusville, who had made
delivery Of some goods here Friday,
died suddenly apoplexy or heart dis
ease while on his return in the evening.
When entering Pleasantville he was
seized and fell from the wagon. He was
accompanied by friend, Neil Fisher,
who at once started for a physician, but
before he arrived Moran was dead. He
was single man and is survived by his
parents and five sisters.
The new two-cent piece soon to be is
sued has already been styled the dough-
nut coin, because it will have a hole in
the center. This innovation was deemed
necessary, as the new coin is to be the
same size and the same alloy as the pres
ent five-cent piece. Hope that in contri-
buttons for holy purposes the holey coin
will not take the place of the nickel.
Don't ring in the ringers on the gentle
manly ushers. The parsons blessing
won't take hold on the holes.
Mrs. Carson, who lives next door to
her daughter, Mrs L. Agnew, gave many
of our citizens an opportunity to see the
beauties of night-blOoming cereus, a
very fine specimen which she has nursed
for the past four or five years having
taken notion to reward her for her
trouble and care by coming out in full
bloom last week. On three nights the
plants beautiful waxen flowers opened,
and those who were fortunate enough to
see the exhibition felt they had enjoyed a
treat worth going far to see.
Last Saturday morniug while the fog
was very dense and as Conductor Jack
Walshs train up the river was leaving
Dawson station, four miles above here,
the brakeman thrust his head into the
rear door of the "smoker" and made the
startling announcement that "the next
station is Tionestaw Judge Crawford,
the veteran river pilot, who had floun-
dered about on many foggy night try
ing to find his bearings, was on the train,
and casting his eye around to see if the
train was running backwards, dryly re-
marked, "Guess that fellows lost in the
fog" To those who have ever attempted
to navigate the river in dense fog the
humor of the Judges observation comes
] with double force.
