william Church Killed.

William Church second son OF Madison
Church, met tragic death while attending
his duties as a brakeman on the logging
train Of the Hickory Valley Railroad at
Endeavor, on Wednesday afternoon last.
While attempting to make flying switch
he was struck on the head by bolster on
one Of the log cars and knocked a dis
tance of several feet. He regained his
feet, and sfter rubbing his head little
appeared to be not seriously injured, and
was able to go to his boarding house un-
assisted. He laid down awhile and ap-
pear, to be feeling easy and friends had
no thought but that he would be all right
after little rest which he seemed to be
getting. He soon dropped into sort Of
comatose condition, however, from
which he could not he aroused. and about
8 o'clock in the evening, two hours after
the accident he was dead, the rupturing
of a blood vessel of the brain, being at
tributed as the cause.
The young man was aged 20 years. and
had been working with his father, ,ngi-
neer of the train, and an older brother
during the past season. The family home
is near Mill village, Erie county, where
William stayed during the summer sea-
son with his mother and looked after the
farrn. He had intended leaving for there
in few days to begin the farm work.
lie was a steady, industrious young man,
very much esteemed by his acquaintsn-
ces.
The remains were taken TO Mill Village
for burial Thursday. The parents and
friends have the heartfelt sympathy OF
all in this very sad afllction.

potato rows, and to regulate the distance
of the same so as TO get the greatest crops,
is worth COW pen full of kid gloved
fellows who know how to lead n fashion,
able waltz. Setting plow jnst right aud
will not injure he horses, is worth a
thousand fold more to the country than
to know how to pose in the psrlor. Yes,
a girl who can bake loaf of bread and

worth whole seminary full OF those soft
and sillyheaded angels who sit in the

The Fish Dynamiter.

Pennsylvania railroad trainmen who
passed through oeopolis early Monday
state That they found the eddy ut that
place full of dead fishes floating on the
surface of tue water and many dead fishes
were to be seen lying ON the bank. An
examination showed that they had been
killed by the dynaniter. The use of dy-
Mantle throughout all of this neighbor-
hood is general, and the fishing grounds,
which are one of the leading attractions
10 be cleaned out OF fishes before the sum-
mer passes unless something is done to
discourage the poacher. The laws passed
are stringent enough to put a permanent
stop to this kind of business, as by its
provisions the guilty man must go to
Jail, as no provisions are made to permit
him to escape by paying a fine. II the
dynam .ters were once brought TO book
by the constables, whose duty it is to run
down and prosecute all such cases, there
would be a sudden cessation OF the whole
sale killing ofAllegbeny river fl. hes. The
same law that provides for the prosecu-
ton Of dynamiters provides heavy pen
atty for the constable who fails to per-
form his duty in this matter, and these
officers may meet with very unpleasant
surprise when they make their usual re-
turn to the criminal court at Franklin,
Warren and Tionesta, as the violation of
the law seems equally great in all three
of the counties OF Venango, Warren and
Forest.-Oil City Derrick.

Dear Sir: II there is a spot in your
paint where the water gets in, the wood
underneath is rotting or rotten. The
timbers go too.
Such spot developes unseen in some
corner-under the caves perhaps
the paint is still in good condition gen.
orally.
Look out for such spots, or paint at
random Tor looks. Ifyou paint for looks,
you are likely to stop such spots before
there are any spots.
Extravaganza pays in paint. Economy
don't. Extravaganza is economy. Queer,
what puppets words are!

A CASE For nIPLOMATs

We have been expecting the govern
ment to show irritation at the obsta-
Giles which are being thrown in the
way of prompt settlement of the ex-
tradition question in the case of Capt.
Greene and Col. Gaynor, and it seems
that steps are to be taken through
diplomatic channels to have a decision
without further unnecessary delay.
Judge Andrews Of Quebec decided
that the fugitives must be returned to
the jurisdiction of the Extradition
Commissioner of Montreal and ordered
them into the custody of the Montreal
sheriff, but their counsel at once sued
out another writ of habeas corpus be-
fore Judge Caron. If the latter Judge
decides that the fugitives must be set
at liberty what will the status of the
case be?
The inference from what has an
peared in the public prints is that the
Jurisdiction of Judge Andrews and
Judge Caron is the same. How is IL
then that Judge Caron is permitted to
review, as it were the decision az
Judge Andrews? 1t really looks as f
the purpose in taking out the second
writ was simply to throw obstacles in
the way of a prompt decision of the
question as to whether or not the fuef-
tives can be eXtradited
If Judge Caron should decide that
the fugitives must be returned to
Montreal it is probable that resort
would be had to another writ of ha-
beas corpus, obtained from another
judge. That sort of tactics might be
continued until the list of Judges IN
the province of Quebec was exhausted.
1t seems the Department of Justice
at Washington is complaining that Of
hcials who may have to appear against
the fugitives when the case gets
before the extradition commits
sioner, are now assisting in their de-
tense. This is a condition of affairs of
Which, 1t is said, it is the purpose of
our government to complain. It is a
curious state of affairs that Canadian
oflcials should be trying to shelter
fugitives from Justice 1t calls for an
explanation. 1t would not be surprising
therefore If diplomats should take a
hand in settling the Green and Gavnor
case.

Robert Carrick, one of the richest
bankers of Scotland a few generations
ago, was as mean as he was wealthy,
says Tit Bits. Being one day visited
by a deputation collecting subscrip-
ton toward new hospital, he signed
for two guineas, and one of the gem
tlemen expressing disappointment at
the smallness of the amount, he said:
Really, l cannot afford more"
The deputation next visited Wilson,
one of the largest manufacturers in
