Raising Trees for Ties.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has a small army of agriculturists at
work planting trees on the various
tracts of land which the company is
converting into forests. It is the in
tention to put in about 800, 900 trees
each year. This spring zoe, 600 trees
were planted. which leaves about 900,
000 yet to be planted.
The company has been planting trees
since 1902. So far there has been
planted ATT. .295 trees. The places where
the forest are to be are at Vlney ard
Quarryville. Pomeroy Atglen, Vintage,
Yeaman, Kinzer, Salunga. Middletown,
all of the Philadelphia division, and
Newton. Newport. Hamilton, and
Eyre, on the middle division.
The annual consumption of ties on
the Pennsylvania Railroad system east
of Pittsburg and Erie, for repairs only.
is about 100000. the latter being
about the average quantity used every
year for repairs in the past ten years.
To this should be added 500. 200 used
annually for new work. At the pre-.
sent rate Of consumption the available
supply of the present timber used, es.

will be depleted to a serious degree
before many years, and that the time
is now ripe for the railroads to con.
slider the question of what course they
are to pursue in the future.
In order to supply the entire need
1t is figured that the continuous US,
of 152 square miles of ground woult
be required.

located about mile below Selins-

live stock. grain and farming imple.
ments, was burned to the ground at
an early hour Saturday morning.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Frederick Herman. the tenant on the
farm. was awakened between the hour
of two aud three by a bright light
showing through the bed room win
dow. Jumping out of bed lie found
that the light came from the BAN, the
entire one side of which was envel-

SummoninR assistance Herman ran
to the barn and began to fight the
flames with water by the buckets full.
which had no more effect than IL none
had been used. During this battle
others made heroic efforts to rescue
the live stock, but they were also
powerless to do anything. So fierceiy y
did the fire spread that the barn and
contents was destroyed in less than a
half hour after the flames were first
discovered. Five horses and eleven
head of cattle were burned and the

Aged Lady Breaks Arm.

A very serious accident befell Mrs
Sarah A. Morgan, who resides OH East
Market street, Sunday morning,
which resulted in compound fracture
Of the right arm.
Mrs. Morgan was carrying ashes
from her home to the rear of the gar
den and was treading brick walk,
when in some manner-just how she
is unable to relate-she lost her bal.
auoe and fell heavily to the ground.
In falling she threw out her right arm
to catch herself and her whole weight
came upon that member, doubling it
up beneath her body.
Her calls for assistance quickly
brought her daughter-in-law, Mrs.
William Morgan, to her aid. DR.. New
baker was summoned, and found that
the lady had sustained a compound
fracture Of the right lower arm, both
bones being broken.
Mrs. Morgan is very advanced in
years and the knitting of the bones
will therefore be long and tedious
matter.
Mrs. Morgan about two years ago
sustained severe sprain in the right
arm from the effects of which she had
never fully recovered.

to take down the awnings in front Of

Mrs. Brandon, who told him that she
would take care of them herself. Mr..
Roat departed, when, it seems. Mrs.
Brandon picked up one Of the awnings
and proceeded to carry 1t up stairs.
The awnings a. Is we'll known repre-

however, made them inconvenient to

Pursuant to adjournment on We'd

itv of West Hemlock township under
the Act of April 6. 1905, to support
the wife of John Sees, who is at pres
ent doing time in the county prison
for an attempt to break Jail. Mrs. Sees
has been deprived of her husband 8
support since early last summer when
he was arrested on the strength of her
statement accusing him of causing the
death of their child.
The necessities of the case being
urgent the Poor Overseers of Lime

but they deny that the support of the
woman under the law devolves upon
their township and hold that her legal
settlement is in West Hemlook town.

1t is urged that Sees by frequent re-
movals has never established legal
residence in the county or elsewhere
which entities him to maintenance and
subjects the township to his support.
In such cases an effort will be made
to show that the township in which
the father has legal settlement is
liable for the support of the son when
relief is needed. The father in this
case resides in West Hemlock town
