-Tbe sheaield Observer of last week


states that w. A. Croasmun. of Redclyffe,
e. A. Yetter, of Lynch, and Horton
johnson, of Ridgway, attended meet
ing of the Forest Chemical Company at
that place last Friday evening. Mr..
Croasmun is prominent Forest county
lumberman, and with d. b. Shields and
II. s. Keck, of Marienville, and James
Gardner. of Ridgway, recently organized
the Blue Stone Lumber Company. This
company has large holdings of timber in
West Virginia, and are putting in a large
band mill to cut IL into lumber.
-Tionests borough, which has been
without justice of the peace for about
three months, has now the requisite
number again, two, Hon. c. A. Randall
aud d. w. Clark having been appointed
to fill the vacancies caused by the death
of Mr.. Setley and the resignation of Mr..
Canfeld. The new commissions have
arrived and those who feel themselves in
need of and are not afraid of it, can have
Justice once more meted out to them.
The appointment of these gentlemen was
asked for by largely signed petitions of
our citizens and give the best of satisfac-
tion.
The real heavy frost of the season oc-
Cured Sunday night, and Monday morn
ing people living on high ground back
from the river and creek, found their
buildings, roofs and the like were COW
cred with heavy coating of white frost,
in some places thin scum of ice being
formed over water that had been left
standing in vessels over night. But no
damage to speak of was done, the har-
vesting of all cereals and garden truck
having been completed some time ago.
In fact the frost did some good. 1t
opened the chestnut burs and gave the
chestnut boy chance.
-Marienville sustained quite fire loss
on Thursday, when merchant David
Mintz lost his dwelling house and prac-
tically all his furniture. The fire caught
at the roof near the flue, which is thought
to have been defective. spreading so rap
| idly that little could be done to save the
house with the means at hand for fight
ing fire. Mr.. Mintz carried an insurance
of 81 500 on the building, and $1,000 on
furniture, but his loss he estimates is still
above $1,000. The household goods that
were taken out are in very bad condi-
tion. Hard work saved neighboring
dwellings from catching fire.
The house and contents, of w. G.
Hill, near Gilfoyle, was burned to the
ground Just after dinner Monday of this
week. The fire is supposed to have
caught from the flue which passes
through the roof. Not thing was saved
from the burning building and for few
minutes after the fire was discovered it
was thought that Miss Hill would be Gre
mated. She was lying down up stairs
and it was some time before she was
aroused sufficiently to flee from the wild
flames which seemed to break out all at
once. The house is what was once the

Since we have missed none of our
citizens within the past short while, we
apprehend there must be some mistake
about the following item clipped from
the Franklin News of last Thursday: "a
Young man who has been staying at
Tionesta got too much OF the Stoneboro
fair booze in his system yesterday and
upon returning to Franklin on the first
excursion last evening stole coat from
a wagon on 18th street. He was appre-
hended in the act and the police locked
him up The owner of the coat refused
to make more than charge of drunken
ness and disorderly conduct against the
prisoner and upon his pleading guilty
before Police Magistrate McVay this
morning was sentenced to 10 days in the
lookup"
The family of Joseph Weber, at Ty-
lersburg. has been called upon to pass
through deep waters of aflliction during
the past week, on account of the ravages
of typhoid fever. On Sunday evening of
this week their son Howard, aged about
IS years, died after an illness of three
weeks from this dreaded disease. and on
Monday morning the eldest daughter,
Blanche, who would have been 20 years
old at her next birthday, was taken. Both
were taken down with fever about the
same time, and from the beginning their
condition was serious. This sad affair
has cast gloom over the entire COM
munity in the vicinity of Tylersburg,
where these young people had been well
and favorably known from infancy, and
where they were held in high esteem by
all. The funeral was held Tuesday after
noon at two o'clock in the NJ. E. church,
Rev. A. B. Wilkinson officiating. The
interment was in the Tylersburg ceme-
terry. We believe there are no new fever
cases in the town at present, and the
people hope the epidemic has permanent
ly subsided.
