Crushed Beneath Car Wheels.

A shocking accident, by which Ivan
James Mccullough, l6-year-old son of j..
NJ. Mccullough. of Nebraska, was in
stantly killed on the s. d It. railroad near
Hastings occurred about II o'clock on
Friday morning. The young man had
taken the place of the regular baggage
man, A. H. Hunter, who was acting as
conductor during the illness of Conductor
Holmes. On the return trip from Shelf
field TO Kellettyille, and when the train
had passed Hastings station, the baggage
car gave a sudden lurch sidewise throw
ing the young man backward out Of
the side door, which stood open, against
a steep embankment which in turn threw
him forward and directly under the
wheels, which passed over his head,
crushing il in shocking manner. Con-
ductor Hunter, who was in the car, but
not close enough TO catch and save the
boy from falling out, stopped the train at
once, and the body was taken to his
home at Nebraska.
The community was greatly stirred
over this distressing accident, for the
young man was a general favorite among
the people. He was born at Nebraska,
June ID, 1890, and had resided there all
his life. Impressive funeral services
were held at the Nebraska M. e. church
on Sabbath, conducted by Rev. w. o.
Calhoun, and the interment was made in
Riverside cemetery, this place, being at
tended by an immense concourse OF
neighbors and friends of the family.
Beautiful floral offerings were sent by
the managers of the Sheffield & Tionesta
railroad and Nebraska Hive of the X. o.
I. M. Surviving the young man are his
father, one sister and one brother.

Death of Mrs. Hugh Miles.

Funeral services in memory of Mrs.
Hugh Miles we're held at the home near
Fagundus at o'clock Friday afternoon,
in charge of the Rev. S. f. Marks, of
Tidioute. Interment was made in the
Tidioute cemetery. Mrs. Miles was SO
years of age and her funeral occurred
upon the S5th birthday of her husband.
She died. on Wednesday last of the in
firmites of age. Mrs. Miles was an
aunt OF our former townspeople, Mr.. and
Mrs. o. +. Miles.
The death of this excellent lady recalls
the notorious robbery still fresh in the
memory of the people of this section. 1t
was four years last Saturday that the
aged couple figured in this sensational
affair at their home near Fagundus. Mr..
Miles was in the barn milking, when he
was surprised by gang of thugs, headed
by the notorious Tom Mcmahon and Tom
Gallagher, brothers-in law. He was
taken into the house and he and his wife
were securely tied while the safe which
they kept in their living room was opened
and ransacked. Bedding was torn open
and thorough search of the premises
was made, under the supposition that
the old people had considerable hidden
wealth. The robbers secured less than
500 in money, together with some watch
es and an old army revolver. The latter
was their undoing. They were tracked
along the line of the Pennsylvania rail-
road to Oil City, where Mcmahon was
arrested. The others escaped. Gallagher
was later shot and badly wounded in the
attempted robbery of the aged Leach
brothers, cattle drovers of Elyria, Ohio.
He was captured and sentenced to the
Columbus penitentary for life. He
broke Jail and is still at liberty, one OF
the most dangerous men of his class.
McMahon is serving seven-year sen
tence in the Western penitentiary.

Resignation of Rev. DIR. SlOnaker.

At the close of the services at the Pres
byterian church on Sabbath morning
Rev. DIR. Slonaker read his formal resig-
nation as pastor of the church. the same
to take effect the last Sunday in October,
28th prox, 1t has been known for some
time that the pastor contemplated this
course, and that call to the pastorate of
the Presbyterian church of Brockwayville
Jefferson county, had been extended to
him. In his remarks on the subject DR..
Slonak or spoke fealingly of the pleasant
relations that had existed between him
self and his congregation during his pas
torate OF year and half, and he gave as
the only reason for asking his release the
conviction that he could be of greater use
in his new field of labor. His reference
to the uniform kindness Of his people to-
ward himself and his family touched the
hearts of all, the breathless silence which
pervaded the church as the able minister
touched upon these matters evidencing
that both pastor and people were moved
alike by the prospective "parting of the
ways" DR.. Slonaker is without doubt
one of the ablest ministers in the Clarion
Presbytery, and while his people part
with him with much reluctance they at
the same time extend congratulations to
the congregation to which he goes upon
securing such an able divine as their fu-
ture spiritual shepherd. Mrs. Slonaker,
who has ingratiated herself in the hearts
OF all our people during the family's res
idence in Tionesta, will be greatly miss
ed by the ladies of our town generally,
and by those connected with the church
societies in particular. May their new
home and field of labor prove pleasant
one-may the lines fall unto them in
pleasant places.
At the congregational meeting Monday
evening, called for the purpose, the con-
gregation unanimously voted to join with
DR.. Slonaker in asking Presbytery to of
ficially dissolve the pastoral relations ex-
isting since February, 1905. Services
will be continued as HERETOFORE either by
the present pastor or supply until the
| 29th of next month.

EDITOR REPUBLIcAN:-The weather
since the first of August has been unus-
ually warm for Paris and our party has
been very quiet. The French people
have not the art of making themselves
comfortable in hot weather, so that what
Americans consider a moderately high
temperature is difficult to endure. The
nights are always cool and we have found
blankets a necessity almost every night.
| wish your readers might all have
seen a Fete of the French Provinces given
last month under the auspices OF So
ciety for the study and preservation of
provincial arts and customs, in the Tuil-
cries gardens. Some $50 peasants flom
Brittany, Provence, Alsace, Niyernais,
Picardy and other districts, in the full
holiday costumes of their provinces, took
part, giving the ancient folksongs, poems,
music and dances. 1t was beautiful
and interesting spectacle with its setting
of the great trees, fountains, flowers and
marbles of the gardens of the Tuileries.
Discussion of the Dreyfus affair has
subsided, but the Pope's encyclical, the
separation OF the church and state, the
refusal of Sarah Bernhardt as candidate
for the decoration Of the Legion of Honor,

Gently enacted, requiring the giving of
day of rest each week to all employees,

mails, instead of editorials as in our pa

Eighty-third Regimental Reunion.

The annual reunion of the SD Pa. Vol
unteers was held at Waterford, Erie
county, Pa, Sept. 1lth, 1906. The day
was fine and the attendance unusually
large, fully 100 of the members of that
once famous old regiment being present
and answering to troll call" d. w.
Clark and S. C. Johnston represented
this section at the meeting. The asso-
citation was presided over by Charles
Himrod of Co. I, late Sergeant Major of
the regiment. Comrade Hmrod resides
in Waterford and gave his old comrades
a welcome reception, furnishing lodging
and dinner to the entire association free
of charge, also fl 90 ride in his automo-
biles to all the old boys, out through the
country distance of five miles and re-
turn. The business part of the associa-
ton was then disposed of and the next
place of meeting was unanimously voted
Tionesta, and the date fixed for Tuesday,
Sept. 10, 1907. Comrade d. w. Clark, OF
Tionesta, was unanimously elected Pres
ident of the association for the ensuing
year, and Comrade d. b. Foote, the pres
ent Secretary was re-elected to serve au-
other term. When we take one look
over the remnants of that once heroic
body of men who went forth at their
country's call in lS6l-2-young, spry,
brave and full of life, alas, can we draw
the line, so great the contrast? See the
bent form, the tottering limbs, the empty
sleeve, the absent foot, the wooden leg,
the wrnkled brow. We are reminded
that soon they must all attend the last
"roll CALL"
Age on age shall roll along,
Der this pale and mighty throng;
Here the sword and sceptre rust,
Earth to earth, and dust to dust.

Dangerous Franks.

On Christmas eve sometime after
night hole was shot through a
window pane in II It. Robinson s
residence on Exchange street. The
window is on the west side of the
house in the dining room. Fortu-
nately no one was in the dining
room when the shot was fred.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Robinson
found the bullet which had lodged
on the other side of the room. 1t
was somewhat hattened out in con-
tact with the wall. On Christmas
eve number of boys were having
a frolic on the vacant lot adjoining
Mr.. Robinson's residence on the
west side. Had the family been at
supper when the shot was fred, the
bullet swould have struck Mrs.
Robinson in the back, as she sits
in line with the range of the bullet.
The lesson needs no enlargement.
1t is plain enough. The smart guy
gets a gun in his pocket and then
he is a man; he gets in trouble and
the officer hands him a few, and
then he is not so large; he keeps on,
however. and then crime, and
he is about the limit.
