Horse Drowned, Men in Jail.

Harvey Newton and Clyde Whitman,
of Kingsley township, were brought to
Tionesta Saturday by Constable j. w.
Grove and lodged in Jail, under a charge
of cruelty to animals and drowning a
horse, the charge being preferred by
Kribbs Il Ray, the Kellettville livery
men. The men were employed by Brown
& McManigle on Lamentation creek, and
on Thursday they hired rig at Kellett-
vile to come to Tionesta. They remained
here over night and left about o'clock
Friday morning on the return trip. AS
they were passing the upper end of the
Newtown Mills pond, shortly after ten
o'clock, the whole outfit went over ten
foot embsnkment into the pond, landing
in about ten feet of water. The horse
was drowned and one of the men had a
narrow escape from the same fate. The
buggy was also badly damaged. 1t is
alleged that the men were intoxicated
aud drying recklessly. Kribbs & Ray
place their loss at 5000, and the men not
being able to effect settlement, were ar
rested and at hearing before Justice
John Shaw were bound over to court in
the sum of $3.50 bail for each. The horse
drowned was one formerly owned by F..
C. Proper, of this place, known as "Nig,"
and was valuable animal.

Dwelling House Burned.

The dwelling house of Frank Albsugh,
on Albaugh Hill, in Hickory township,
was destroyed by fire last Wednesday
night about nine O'Clock, together with
all his household goods. One OF his chill
dren, a boy about five years of age, was
badly burned sll over his body, but the
child, although suffering severely, will
recover. The parents bad gone to visit a
neighbOr, leaving the children alone in
the house. One OF the older children, q
girl of ten years, attempted to replenish
a fire with oil when the stuff exploded
setting fire to the house. The girls dress
caught fire but she had the presence OF
mind to get the other children out of the
house first and then ran and jumped into
a spring to put out the fire in her own
clothes. The little fellow who was
burned was safely out of the house in the
first instance. but ran back into the burn
ing building to get some clothes, when
he was caught in the flames. Mr.. AL
bsugh's loss is total and falls very heavy
on him, he having no insurance. He
had recently repaired and refurnished the
house and not thing was saved, the
children escaping with only the clothes
they wore. We are not informed as to
the loss on the house, but on the house
hold goods it will probably exceed $500.

Benediction, Rev, r. A. Zahnser.
Music, Orchestra.
Every member of the class did credit
able work, showing care and patient prac-
tice. The recitations we're well rendered
and the orations and essays showed lofty
thought and high ideals. And this re
port would be incomplete were we to
omit mention of the little flower girl,
winsome Martha Brown, who performed
her part so gracefully.
The Glass address was masterpiece of
sound practical wisdom. DIR. Ballentine
captivated the audience from the start
and swayed them with his master mind.
The presentation speech OF It. f. kitch-
ey, Esq, showed his keen insight of the
practical affairs of school life and his deep
intei est in the welfare of the schools of
our town.
We believe that the entire audience
were proud of the creditable manner in
which the graduating class displayed
their genius and training.
The bsccalsureste sermon to the grail
uating class was delivered by Rev. w. o..
Calhoun of the M. E. church, in the
Presbyterian church on Sunday evening
at o'clock, in the presence of large
congregation. The reverend gentlemen
gave an eloquent and practical discourse,
taking for his text Gal. 1925, "We are no
longer under schoolmaster."

Work 10 Commence Soon on the New
Erie Main Line.

Work will begin very soon on the War
reu extension of the Erie Railroad. An
engineer prominent in the affairs of that
road is now in Warren preparing for the
coming of the gang who will stake out
the new roadway of the Erie in the vicin-
ity of that place, preparatory to the COM
mencement of the work. 1t is expected
that the gang will be in this city before
the summer wanes, and as one Of the
officials said: "Main line trains will pass
through here before snow flies" When
the engineer was told that many were of
the opinion that the road through Warren
would be only freight line, he smiled a
knowing smile, as much ss to say that
the first-class trains would all pass
through Warren.
The work of stak ing and laying out the
line preparatory to the commencement of
work will only be matter of days. The
preliminary survey has been completed
aud has been passed upon by the road
officials, who approve it. Progress when
commenced will be made rapidly and the
roadway will be one of the finest ever
made in. the United States. The grade is
an easy one and is we'll adapted for fast
work, as there are no cuts or other hard
obstacles to surmount.
1t is expected that the work Of grading
and laying the track will be commenced
in Warren and progress made both up
and down the river. In this way Warren
will become central point on the line
and will benefit much from the number
of men who will have their headquarters
there.
The engineer who visited Warren de-
sired to keep his presence unknown and
made every effort to do so. However, it
was possible.-Franklin News, 22d.
Ten of the surveying party who were
here few weeks ago arrived here Mon
day morning to make another survey
through the town. The original line runs
through the center of the flats, coming
close to the rear end of the REPUBLICAN
Office. Two additional lines were run on
Monday, one coming through on the hill
just above the Court House and the other
coming down the river bank, crossing
the Back Channel to the head of Hunter
Island, thence down the island, crossing
back 10 the east bank of the river below
the mouth of Tionesta creek. According
to opinions expressed by the engineers
the line as originally run through is the
most feasible of the three, the one on the
hill being too high and that over the
island being too expensive to maintain
on account of trestles, high water and
ice. Tie engineers further declared thSt
the road was sure to be built and that the
work Of Locating the right of way would
be begun in a few days. The party re-
turned to Oil City Tuesday forenoon.

daniel G. Moriarty, once resident
of Marienville, where his parents lived
for a number OF years, died in Plttsburg
OH the 18th inst, of blood poison, follow
ing an operation at hospital in that city.
The young man was aged 26 years, and
had many friends at his old home in
Marienvllle, where the funeral was held
Friday afternoon, the interment taking
place in the Catholic cemetery, of which
church the deceased was a member.
-Chas. Amann and w. o. Huey floated
down from Warren Saturday. They re-
port very few ducks on the river, but
just after leaving Tidioute OFT was for
tunate enough TO. get a flying shot at q
large bald eagle. He winged the bird
and captured it alive, bringing it here,
where it was later killed. The bird was a
magnificent specimen Of it's kind, meas
uring five feet six inches from tip to tip.
1t was full of fight and would tolerate no
lami .iarities.
j. e. Girt, of Dundee county, Me-
braska, has been visitor to this vicinity
for the past ten days. He is the son of
the late Samuel Girt, well remembered
by the older inhabitants OF this commun-
ity as one of the Eighty-third boys who
went to the war from here in 61, and who,
soon after his return from the army, mi
grated to the western country. Mr.. Girt
was not born when the family left here,
but hearing his parents say so much
about their old eastern home, concluded
he would like to look over the scenes so
familiar to the old folks.

John Bush captured live loon in the
river Thursday afternoon He shot at
the bird, one shot taking effect in the
back of its neck, just enough to stun 1t
for the time being. The bird recovered
and seemed to be as lively as ever. 1t
attracted much attention on account of
its beautiful plumage, which was es-
pecially brilliant about the head and
neck.

According to the News, they're lifting
some fine trout up Tidiouteway this sea-
son: Las. Monday Mack Babbitt got q
fish near the mouth of Gordon Run that
weighed five pounds and fourteen ounces.
and measured thirty-nine inches in
length. Just what species it was is the
mooted question. The shape, markings,
fins and tail very closely answered the
description of brook trout, but its
weight and size seemed to bar that sup
position, and yet no description of any
fish in the state fish book so closely COW
cred the fish as the brook trout. That it
belonged to the trout family was very
evident, but Just which branch is the
question.
Henry p. Ford, former mayor Of
Pittsburg, died suddenly at his home in
that city last Friday. Mr.. Ford had been
in his usual health, and there was no
suggestion that the end was near. Mr..
Ford was born at Hudson, N. Y, on Oc-
tober 10, 1897. He was the son of John
and Susan Carpenter Ford. A year after
his birth his parents removed to Clarion,
Pa, where his father followed the lum-
herring trade for the He also followed
numbering for number of years on Tio-
nesta creek, the family living at what was
then known as Lacytown, now Nebras-
ka, and his partners in the lumber bust
ness were the Lacys. Henry was well
and very favorably known here.

DEAR 1.-THE usual way to buy
paint is to take the lowest price by the
gallon. Mistake; the buyer loses by it;
how much? Depends on the paint; it is
so much a gallon, or 30 much year.
How much a gallon or year. do you
think? AS much perhaps, as the total
price of tho paint. 1t may take twice the
number of gallons.
N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y, owns two
houses, both exactly alike. He painted
one with Devoe and one with another
paint. Devoe gallons; the other II.
Go by the name: Devoe. There's
nothing cheaper. Go by the price !;
there's nothing dearer, except not paint
ing at all. Poor paint is better than
none.
What does it cost not to paint at all =?
Can't figure it out exactly; say tenth of
the building year, besides looks.

A Stated Case.

About year ago the dead body of a
man named Evans was found about two
miles below this place in the Allegheny
River. The Coroner, DR.. Morrow, hav-
ing discovered that the man belonged to
the town of Warren, Pa, and was acci-
dentally drowned, decided that no in
quest was necessary, but ordered A.
Carson, VIM. Ellis and Extel Aaronson
to bring the body to Tionesta. They did
50, each charging a reasonable amount
for his services and demanding pay from
the county. These facts were woven into
stated case, and submitted to the Court
at its last meeting by 8. d. Irwin, acting
for the claimants, and A. g. Brown, for
the County. After being argued by the
counsel, his honor, Judge Lindsey, took
the papers and will render decision at
the May court. 1t is novel question,
the case hinging on the powers of coro-
ners to bind the county in cases of neces-
sity and charity.

FIR. STECHAN'S ENTERPRISE
The Reopening of His Booking Office
 at San Francisco.

r. W. Stechan left last night for Los Angeles and San Francisco in response to a business telegram announcing the necessity of his early appearance in the coast cities. He had been intending to make this trip but had not planned to leave before the middle Of this week. He expects to be gone until sometime in February but will continue to make Phoenix his home wherever he is.
 As mellione sometime ago. MT. Stechan has turned all his bookings over to c. F. Berger of the Doris opera house. together with his good will and best wishes. Further than that he expects to exert himself in every possible way to aid MT. Berger in the success of his amusement en- terprise here, wishing him all possible good fortune and the liberal patronage of the people. MT. Stechan has met with many disappOintments during his management of both the Phoenix the aters, most of them misfOrtunes pure and simple for which no one was to blame, such as railroad washOuts when good companies were booked, and bad companies when good ones were very much needed. But through 1t all he has been hopeful and has done the
  He feels grateful for the patronage he has had when he did have good at fractions to offer and has come as near making a success under adverse cir cumstances as anybody could. The best wishes Of many friends will fol- low him in his future undertakings.
 His purpose now. and the business in connection with which he is now call ed to Los Angeles, Is the reOpening of his booking office in San Francisco. He will give special attention to the south west, particularly to Arizona. and hopes to do a great deal in facilitating the business of local managers all over the territory, by sending them good companies at propitious times. There is no one who better understands the difficulties under which the local man. agers here operate, and no one better posted respecting Arizona theater ac- cOmmOdatiOns. railroad time tables and all other details of the show business in these parts. MT. Stechan has the sincere desire to aid in the amusement of Arizona people even though he is not here and 1t IS believed he also has the opportunity to do sc. l. is hoped to his own financial benefit.

but on account of the murderous re- sistance ne had made to his arrest no
 chances were taken with him and he was carefully watched in one of the secure wards. He was never violent after he was put into the asylum, and
 talked rationally on all subjects but one. He did not realize that he was put into the asylum but he thought he was being kept in a jail awaiting his execution for some crime, he did not know what. He had no recollection Of that bloody night in tent at Gold field, remembered nothing about pre- ceding events, his leaving the farm of Price Brown near Tempe, where he had been employed for a long time. In fact he remembered little that had happened before his insanity. He knew though that he had done something against the law.
 Ire attendants at the asylum tried to convince him that he was in no danger but they could not do so as long as he was kept locked up. They at length decided to let him work out of doors without worrying restrictions and in a little while his morbid fear of hanging passed away and he became as other men.
 It was thought that he would go back to the Brown ranch, but MT. Brown, who was in town day or two ago, had not seen him and had not even heard of his liberation from the asylum.
