"A novelty in trial OF speed Is
booked to take place here tomorrow
A nice track has been made on the ice
on the creek end back channel, and Liv-
eryman Urey's speeder, "Butcher Boy" /"
is to go against a fast Titusville nag for
a quarter mile stretch. The attraction is
bound to be well patronized by horse
lovers from Titusville, Oil City and
Pleasantvillo.
"A young man named Arm Spencer
was arrested by Sheriff Noblit at Fools
Creek and brought before Esquire Ran
dali on Friday last, charged with the lar
ceDy of log boat from James Hunter,
Of Hickory township. The justice found
the evidence sufficient to bind the young
man over to court, fixing the amount of
the bail bond at 5000, in default of which
Spencer was taken to Jail to await trial at
the February sessions of court.
Thursday, while working In the
woods, Charles Near, of Nebraska, was
struck by limb over the eye and quite
severely injured, so much so that the at
tention of physician was necessary, and
DR.. Dunn was called and found it neces-
sary to employ several stitches to close
the wound. On the Sunday following
his brother, Albert Near, was quite badly
scalded about one hand and foot by water
escaping from locomotive boiler be was
assisting to clean out.
s. ii. Simpson, of this city, received
check to-day from the Pennsylvania
Railroad for $23, ,466.7O, in full, for the
claim of damages he had against the
company, the result of injuries received
in a wreck near Siverly. The original
verdict was for S4l 800, but was lowered
by Judge Criswell to S22 600, and his de-
cision was affirmed by the Superior
Court, to which the railroad company
carried the case. The amount of interest
and costs, amounting to 81 .466, was fixed
by this court.-Blizzard.
Last week the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. X. Vail of Fleming Hill was de-
stroyed by fire. They carried no insur-
ance and their effects were total loss.
To add to the misfortune Mr.. Vail was
seriously injured in jumping from sec.
ond story window to avoid being burned
to death. Now their neighbors propose
to give them benefit dance. 1t will be
held in New London Grange hall at Nc
Graw on Feb. IL. Such an act of charity
will undoubtedly be rewarded by large
attendance. .-Titusyille Herald.
Making it more difficult for the
young 10 wander from the straight and
narrow path is the sense of bill intro
duced in the Legislature last week by
Mr.. Brsnn, of Warren. The bill will
make it illegal for the proprietor of any
billial d-room, bowling saloon or ten-pin
alley in Pennsylvania to allow anyone
under II years of age to be in his place
of business. If any proprietor should
violate TIE provisions OF the act, he may
be prosecuted in court of quarter ses-
sions and, upon conviction, made to pay
fine of from $40 to $780,
In every town social Jays" flock to
the standards OF those who have little
wit, wisdom, or wealth, but are we'll
equipped with bluff. Mrs. Chadwick
was an ideal social leader till it was
known that she had served time and but
for the discovery she would still be much
sought after. To be up in society people
go to places they do not enjoy, to meet
people there they do not like, talk about
subjects that do not interest them in order
that they may get invitations to go where
they are not wanted and be mentioned in
society notes which no one cares any
thing about. SO opines the Franklin
News on the shams of society of the
present day.
Speaking of base ball matters, the
Titusville Herald has this item offs player
well known to Tionests people: "John
McMillen, the peerless Pleasantville
twirler, will open the season in April
with the Vincennes, Ind, team. This
team belongs in the Kentucky, Indiana
and Tennessee league. McMillen is a
pitcher of some prominence. He started
last year with the Buffalo team in the
Eastern league, but one OF his legs gave
out. He came home and played the
middle of the season with the All-Titus-
villes. Later he went to CARLISLE and |
ended the summer there. He is a fine |
all around player and his friends hope to
see him playing in better luck this year."
The Christian Endeavor Society of |
the Presbyterian church gave very en-
joyable "Uncle Sam" dime social. at tiIe |
home of Mrs. A. b. Kelly. Friday eve
ming last, at eight o'clock. The recep-
tion hall, parlors and stairway were dec
GRATED with flags, bunting and flowers,
while all the guests wore in some manner
the national colors. The guest of honor
was "Uncle sam, "who received hearty |
welcome. All the guests were eager to
bestow on him every attention, while he
received many congratulations on his
appearance in his striped clothes and hat,
with which we are all so familiar. When
were served each guest re-
ceived tiny flag as souvenir of the oc-
casion. Salute flags were bestowed on
Uncle Sam and Mrs. Sam.
"A well attended meeting of the citi-
zens of Tionesta was held in the Presby-
