The iron for the new span for the
west end of the river bridge at this place
has been on the ground for some time,
but the company having the contract for
putting it in position does not seem in
any hurry to get it there. The material
looks like the right kind of stuff, and
ought to mako very substantial piece of
work.

The Philomel Club of Warren has
lately been honored by the appointment
of its president, Mrs. Wilton NJ. Lindsey,
musical director for Pennsylvania in the
National Federation of Musical Clubs.
The Warren Mail says of the new ap-
pointment, who is the wife of our popu-
lar President Judge of this district: "Mrs.
Lindsey's deep interest in Federation
work and her great executive ability pc
cuiarly fit her to fill this important Of
flee. The Federation is to bo congratu-
lated on securing so gifted director,
while the Philomel has reasons to feel
gratified that its club has been so honored

The Clarion Normal School scandal
has again broken loose, and threatens to
once more bring the "rake-off" tiasco
prominently before an already tired and
more or less disgusted public. l. NJ.
Shannon, treasurer of the institution, has
asked permission of the trustees to bring
suit in the name of the school to recover
$3.50 alleged to have been unlawfully
taken from the treasury. The sooner
this matter is allowed 10 die down and
stay dead the etter it will be for this
worthy institution, and unless it is drop
ped the school is bound to suffer irrepar-
able loss. There's evidently whole lot
of animus back of the thing somewhere.

eight-year-old son of w. A. Henry, OF
Brookyille, who was visiting his uncle,
Commissioners Clerk Henry, was play

the mouth of the creek, being in charge of
his older cousin, Glenn Henry, and after
having been repeatedly warned about the
danger of "alling in, he finally did sue
ceed in going "overboard" and getting a
complete ducking. Glenn succeeded in
pulling the lad out just in time to save
him from drowning, but he continued to
cry after il was all over, when his cousin |
reminded him that there was no use |
keeping up the racket, as he was now
safe. The young fellow stopped long
enough to blubber out, "But am most
awful mad yet"

Wilbur farm near the old Pithole field. |
1t was drilled in week ago andHyester-
day was producing 25 barrels per day |
natural. II appearances are not deceiv-
ing this is not flood oil, but it is some
times very difficult to determine this |
question until some time has |
elapsed. The we'll is located half mile |
to the northeast of the famous nited
States well and the owners are of the
opinion that narrow outlet of tho old
extends toward the river.
Rig builders are ready to commence on
the derrick for No. 8, 200 feet in advance
of No. .. There is great deal of interest
centered in that immediate locality, not
alone because of its historical significance
but because the recent strike is proving
to have such remarkable staying quail
ties for shallow sand producers in that
territory.-Titusville Herald.
