Bert Frigel, aged about 81 years, and
living with his father, John Frigel, at
Plummer, Pa, was very severely burned
on Saturday last. The young man at
tempted to hurry along the fire in the
kitchen stove by pouring kerosene oil on
the hot Goals from can. The oil ignited
and the can exploded, covering him with
the burning fluid. The young man, al
though suffering terribly, did not lose his
presence of mind, and running from the
kitchen, plunged into barrel of rain
water that stood at the side of the build

with burns, those over the abdomen be.
ing especially severe. His condition
was considered critical at last accounts.
His parents formerly lived at Marien-
vile, where they have many friends who
will be sorry to learn of this serious acci-
dent.
The parlor meeting held by the local
w. G. T. U. at the home of Mrs. A. B.
Kelly on Tuesday was a most pleasant
event. About 20 members were present.
A program arranged by Mrs. Sharpe,
superintendent of that department, was
beautifully carried out. Mrs. Wenk rem
dered some pleasing selections on the
piano. Mrs. Sue L. Warden, delegate to
the State convention at Washington, Pa,
gave most interesting report of that
event. 1t gives us new courage to hear
again what is being done by our "white
ribboners' all over the State, and let us
hone that our society will start out with
beautiful determination for the coming
year, and make it a successful one. AT
the close of the program dainty refresh
ments were served. All went home feel

nished the only deer that was killed in
all this parallel OF latitude during the
season just closed. On Wednesday
morning of last week man boarded the
down train at this station with a fair
sized one in his possession, and we are
not aware that he even was the slayer of
the noble creature sat that price," The
deer was brought here from Kellettville.
We have heard several versions as to the
reason that there weren't more killed this
season, among them being the shortness
of the season, a lack of tracking snow,
etc., but the fact is there aren't any left
to Kill. Like the buffalo of the plains,
the beautiful animals have seen their
day. The few scattering specimens that
still find some shelter in the dense woods
should have every protection that un-
grateful man can throw about them, in
stead of being hunted to the last ditch.
During the past week the Wilburine
Pipe Line has been engaged in moving
gas engine and pump out to the new
pump station they are building on their
line on Hemlock Creek, about eight
miles from Tionesta. The engine is a
large one, so horse power and weighing
about five tons, and will furnish all need
ed power. 1t was built by the Jacobson
Machine Co., of Warren. The pump will
weigh about five and one-half tons and
was also made in Warren, by the Allie.
gheny Foundry. Its capacity will be
about l75 bbls. an hour through three
inch line. The work OF installing the
station is in charge of Henry Dunn, of
Warren, and he expects to have 1t in
running order in about a week. This
station will pump the oil to Minister, a
distance Off miles, where another sta
ton sends it to Warren. The Wilburine
now has practically completed three
inch line from Warren to Shannopin, on
the Ohio river, a distance of about 125
miles. 1t takes in our Cropp hill field,
Hemlock, Emlenton, Butler, &c., and
when the contemplated stations are all
installed, will be ready for business in
the lower fields. The line with which
this company crossed the river at West
Hickory, was being laid up West Hick-
ory Creek last week, And now the boys
who have any grease over that way are
seeing glad visions of premium oil.
