Serious Complications Feared.

PANAMA, Colombia, Oct. 6.-After the conference held last week between General Salazar, governor of Panama, and Commander Mclean of the United States cruiser Cincinnati no further difficulties were feared, for it was be- ieved that General Salazar was satis- fled that the landing of American ma rines on the fsthmus had for it's only object the maintenance of free rail- road transit between here and Colon. The arrival at Panama of Rear Admi- ral Casey on board the battleship Wis consin, however, ,shas quite changed the situation. It now appears that the in structions brought aby Rear Admiral Casey may result in serious complica- tiOnS.

The Sheepmen.

He says there have been no

Now that the new board OF coun-
ty commissioners are about to 90
into Office we have few sugges-
tions TO make to them, and they
are simply in accordance with
what the people of this county
have by petition asked the retir-
ing board TO give them, and that
is a new court house. This county
is in the poorest shape of any coun-
tv in the state, and the county is
paying yearly more rent than
would pay the interest on bonded

we vote bonds for such a purpose,
but as we cannot do this and as we
can only raise the money by special
levy, we are, a every other taxpayer

it, and having some place to keep
the records of the county where |
there will be no danger OF them |
being destroyed in case of fire.
If things continue as they have
it will only be a matter of time
until this county will be called
upon to pay more for some prison
er's life that is cremated in the
present fire trap Jail, than it would
cost to erect a first class court
house and Jail. A petition was
presented to the outgoing board of
county commissioners over year

Our town has been saddened
lately by several melancholy
events, some of which seemed to be
the worst that could happen; but
last Friday when it became known
that Mrs. Champlain had been ac-
cidentally shot-and prehaps fatal

which will not be cleared away for

The accident occurred at 1:30 p.l

scene in a very few minutes, and
everything that medical skill and
loving hands could do, was done. |
Dr. Wright and Howard OF Poca-

about p. M, but all efforts to
help her proved unavailing, and
at IL p. m. she breathed her last.
A sweeter, truer spirit never LETT

and wonderful patience during the
time she lived after the accident
will never be forgotten by thoseI
who witnessed her quite resigna-

FIRES in MANY PLACES
FORESTS SWEPT BY FLAMES IN
CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA.
Two or More Lives Lost-SeveraI
Towns RnvaEed, Causing Much
Destruction of Property.

WILLIAMSPORT. Pa, April 24-During
the past forty-eight hours the furious
sweep of forest fires in the central section
of the State has caused a devastation to a
vast amount of property, and in two cases
the loss Of life is attributed to the fire
fiend.
From Sinnemahoning comes meager de-
tails of the fate that befell two men and
the thrilling. escape of four others. Noun
tain fires destroyed a large number of
sleepers and caused the rails To spread on
Barclays Lumber Railroad An engine
and a dozen cars loaded with logs were de-
rallied The locomotive overturned, pinning
two of the six men riding on it under the
tender. The other four men saved them
selves with great difficulty, but were I'M
able to prevent their comrades, pinned un-
der the tender, from burning to death. The
names of the unfortunate men have not
been learned
AS a result of the fire which destroyed
ten houses, church, a schoolhouse and
nine stables in the village of Clintondale,
Clinton county, last night, six-year- old
Agnes Fielding lost her life. The child be-
came frightened when the flames attacked
the home of her parents, and in attempt
ing to reach a place of safety she fell into
a creek and was drowned. Her body was
recovered this afternoon a mile from her
home, having been carried down the stream
with the current.
A critical condition of things exists in the
northwestern portion of Lycoming county
in the Pine creek valley. Near Haneyville
last night 100000 feet of sawed lumber be-
longing to George Walker was destroyed.
Four houses were also burned.
Rogers's sawmill, on Lick run was wiped
out of existence during the night. A large
amount of sawed lumber was saved with
difficulty.
Over fifty men worked hard all day yes
terday and a portion of last night fighting
a fierce fire in Mosquito Valley above the
Wnliamsport Water Company's reservoir.
The flames covered an immense area fully
a hundred acres being burned over. The
fighters finally succeeded in mastering the
fire.
The mountains bordering Pine creek are
reported ablaZe from Ramseyville TO An
sonia. AT Ramseyville 2.500 feet of logs be-
longing to Valentine Luppert, of South
Wflliamsport, were destroyed. Several
small houses adjacent were also burned
At Ridgeway last night a fire alarm was
sounded and the citizens turned out to fight
the encroaching flames and save the town
from destruction.
Passengers arriving here from points
along the Philadelphia & Erie Railroad
state that the forests are ablaze from Re
nova to Johnsonburg.

A dramatization of "Quo Vadis?" Is be-
ing acted at the Park Theater. The play
in different forms has been on the stage
for several seasons, and judging from the
large audience yesterday there are yet
many persons that desire to see it, The
novel had a great sale. principally because
il is good adventure tale, and secondarily
because it tells more or less accurately
the rise of the Christians in Rome. 1t
makes Nero lustful, murderous Emperor
and presents the Christians as marvelously
virtuous and enlightened persons. 1t con-
tains, besides. several scenes of revelry, in
minute and exciting detail. OF course, the
slow triumph OF the Christians was at
tended by fierce controversy, but it's psy-
chOlogy was greatly different and far moro
intricate than Quo Vadis?" describes
The dramatization at the Park Is in six
acts. In the nrst NlniciuS tells Petronius
OF his love for Lygia. and PetrOnius prom
tses TO have the girl taken from the house
OF Aus Plautius to that of Vinicius. Pc
trOnius also discovers that his slave,
EUniCe. il sincerely i'm love with him. In
the second &C: Tigellinus. carrying out
Nero's order. takes Lygia from Plautius
and Is knocked down by the mighty JIrsus
who Is determined TO accompany Lygia
The third act shows feast at Nero's pail
ace. In the fourth Rome burns. The fifth
act Is I'm the Mamartine prison and the
sixth brings the death of Nero and the
triumph OF the Christians Vinicius's con-
version 10 Christianity attends the physical
incidents and he and Lygia finally are
joined Thus the sense OF the novel is
crudely presented.
All through the play the stage is filled
With the bright eolors of the scenery and
the costumes. The pictures are fresh and
elaborate. The acting. too. is as good as
the play demands. James \ Young i'm
persOnates Nincius. Miss Lillian Iancas ter
Is the fragile Lygia, Harry Morton is the
