Responsibility for Defective Sidewalks.

Municipalities are required to exercise
vigilence in fitting and preserving the
streets and sidewalks in a safe and proper
condition for public travel. When prop
erty owners fail to act promptly to rem
edy defective sidewalks fronting their
properties, after notification by the bor-
ough authorities, damages found against
the municipality can be recovered against
the property owners. Every effoI should
be made by municipal officers to reduce
the chance of accident by reducing defec-
tive or improper sidewalks to a mini
mum. All steps, except at street cross
ings, should be eliminated. Public SEN
timent is against them and damages
would be recoyered in case they cause sc-
cident. Referring 10 the rigidity with
which the courts exact strict care for the
safety and convenience of the public in
the use Of the streets the Philadelphia In
quirer says: Almost in every instance
where boroughs of the state are being
sued for injuries resulting from defective
sidewalks or streets the verdict of the
jury is against the authorities and in IA
vor of the injured person. This has been
the fact for years and yet in many towns,
even in many of our third-class cities.
there is lack of attention to the side
walks and the streets which can only be
regarded as lamentable. Sunken bricks,
broken planks, Unsupported stones and
every species of defective sidewalk trip
the unwary. The cost of repair looks
big, but it really isn't when carefully con-
sidered. Every good sidewalk enhances
the value of every Taxpayers property.

nothing serious occurred, other than
drifting down stream quite ways.

With the thermometer ranging up to
the eighty point-which was during last
Friday afternoon, the 2Oth-who will de-
ny that in the midst OF winter we are in
summer? This "hot spell" has had the
effect to start the buds in nearly all the
burst their buds, and still ethereal mild
ness holds her own pretty well. We're
not in the least pessimistic in such mat
ters, but still we can't help feeling there
is danger that the early bud like the too
previous worm is liable to get nipped for
its freshness.
Next Sunday, March 10Th, there will

Two Injured in a 2O-FOOt Fall.

Jacob Berlin of Wing Hill had his left
ankle dislocated and was otherwise some
what bruised, and Edward Wright of
near Tidioute had his right arm below
the elbow badly crushed and was severe
ly cut about the face, last Saturday fore
noon at the Foreman mill near Delight,
in Hickory township. The men were
taking out car of lumber when the run
way parted, letting the car, load, and
men fall through to the ground, a dist
ance of about 20 feet. 1t is strange how
the men escaped much more serious in
jury in such mixup. DR.. W. G. Nor
row was summoned and performed the
necessary surgery, and the injured men
are getting along well.

Tonestd, Pa.

Dear sir: You are interested in the
prosperity OF our town, and every dol
lar anybody saves adds to the wealth of
the place.
People can save half their money on
paint-more than half. Devoe Lead and
Zinc takes fewer gallons than mixed
paints to cover a house. aud lasts twiee
or three times as long as lead and oil.
Paint is saved; labor is saved; and the
painting nuisance is made half as fre-
quent..
When DeYoe Lead and Zinc is estab-
lished in Tionesta, the people will get
more out of it than we shall.
Yours truly,
+. w. DEvoE & Co.,

The only thing certain about the
death of Blanche Kelly, poor unlortu-
nate woman whose body was found in the
Allegheny river last Sunday morning
near Starbrick, about three miles below
Warren, is that she is dead. How, when
and where she came to her death is still
unknown to the public, and the verdict
of the coroner's jury given Monday eve
ming is not satisfactory and does not solve
the mystery OF suicide or foul play, nor
does 1t discover the guilty parties. The
theory that the woman jumped into the
river at Warren Saturday evening after
drinking liquor at q saloon with two men
and another woman is not clearly estab-
lished, and undertaken Bayer and others
are not satisfied that she was drowned.
But the body was embalmed and putinto
the receiving vault at Oakland cemetery
last Monday afternoon to await answer
from Hamilton, Canada, where it is said
the dead woman's relatives live. She

Immediately the 5000 occupants of

ret known except that, on receiving
his nephews his holiness said:
'cAs pope do not possess anything.
as l live by the aims of the faithful.
It weuld be a great detriment to the
church If shocld destine to my fam
lily even the smallest part of what
I the people send me by denying them
selves. AS to my personal property"
the pontif concluded, Il divided that
among you long ago."
This declaration did not surprise
any one, it being well known how
strong an anti-nepotist Pope Leo has
always been. When the pontiff al
luded to his personal fortune he meant
his patrimony. of which almost two
thirds came into his hands through
the death Of his uncles and brothers.
Besides this he had what was called
his prelature. a sum of 10000 scudi.
which for that period was large
amount, and to which in papal times
was entitled any member of a family
embracing the priesthood. This was
given in order to put him in a position
to continue his career. In 1881 Pope
Leo had all his fortune estimated and
divided by Cardinal Lamrenz a most
jurisconsult, among his
nieces and nephews. who were obliged |
to sign a paper declaring that they |
had received all they were entitled to.
When the pope's brother, Cardinal
Giuseppe, died in 1890, Pope Leo in
formed his relatives that he was
keeping all his valuable library intact,
eaving them their share in money.
1bliging them to sign another declara-
ion that they had received all they
could claim.

noise Of the explosion was heard in
Wflkesbarre, and in Pittston windows

shaken. The scene of the powder
plant is one of devastation and de-

happened and paths leading to the
scene were soon lined with excited
throngs hurrying to the mill
The dead are Alexander Moore. of
Lafiin, died in about five minutes from
burns; Joseph Gray of Pittston, blown
to pieces; Arthur Gray, son of Joseph
Gray.
The injured are Thomas Haines, of
Yatesville, hurt by flying timbers; Jo-
siah Twist. OF Latin, arms and legs
hurt by being blown against flying
debris.
The men killed were in the press
mill at the time of the explosion, and
no one can tell what caused it, though
there is a theory that it was caused
by friction from some of the machin-
cry. The three buildings were totally
demolished. and the engine and boiler
rooms, situated long distance away
from the scene of the explosion, were
also wrecked.
The bodies of Moore and ArtAur
Gray were found buried under the
debris and were badly burned. Joseph
Gray was found 200 feet from the mill.

5000 Christian EndeavOr Delegates
at Denver in Panic,

SCORE OF PERSONS INJURED
hundreds Of Men Held Up Poles and
Canvas and Prevented Many From
suffoeating-Many Women tainted
and Were Rescued With Difficulty.
Denver, Colo, July IA. - The big
lent Endeavor, where the Chris
tian Endeavor convention has been
held for the past four days. was
blown over, more than 5000 people
being in the tent at the time. The
Injured numbered nearly a score, but
fortunately none of them was serious
ly hurt Mrs. Jessie M. Thornburgh. of
Denver,was the most seriously injured.
Her nose was badly gashed and she
suffered several scalp wounds.
The presence of mind of A. M. Ram
sey, Of Chicago, who sprang to a chair
and called to the people to hold up the
canvas and poles, undoubtedly pre-
vented many from suffocating. As it
was, many women tainted and were ex-
tricated from the folds of the canvas
with much difficulty.
Mrs. Winifred Sleep, Of Denver, who
was in charge of St Marks hospital
tent, seeing the accident at the big tent
close by, telephoned to the electric light
company to shut off the current. This
prevented any damage from the live
wires which had fallen with the tent
poles.
A feature. which showed the relig- |
ious nature of the participants, was
seen when the majority were extri-
Gated from the canvas folds. Led by |
