Builders, Attentions,

For heavy timbers, lumber of

will be one of the many reasons.

in the town of Brindleville, Pa, Feb. IA,
lS49, and came to Forest county in 1866,
and has lived in tie county since that
time. She was married TO w. E. With
erell Aug. 6, 1865, and this union was

Fire at West Hickory.

Monday at midnight fire broke out in
the grocery store of Isaac Siggins at West
Hickory and it was destroyed completely,
together with about all of the merchan-
disc. A butcher shop adjoining, and a
dwelling house owned by VIM. Elder, of
Warren, but occupied by James Bing-
man and family, were also burned to the
ground. The fire seems to have caught
in the rear of the store building from
some unknown cause, and before the
people were aroused the whole inside
was a blazing mass. The town is
equipped with force pump which takes
water from the river, but in this case
there was not sufficient hose to reach the
fire. Mr.. Wheeler, at Endeavor, sent a
train over with string of hose, which
aided materially in saving adjoining
buildings.
Mr.. Siggins had an insurance of $1,000
on his buildings and goods, which will
not cover his loss by several hundred
dollars. Mr.. Bingman's loss was not
large as about all of his household goods
were saved. Mr.. Elder had small ia
surance on the dwelling, but hardly suf-
ficient to cover his loss.
1t is suspected that the fire was started
by burglars, as people living near declare
they heard footsteps in the store shortly
before it was discovered.

A BenefactOr.

Clarion State Normal counts herself
fortunate indeed in the honor bestowed
upon her by philanthropic citizen of
Forest county who made twelve scholar
ships available within her halls. Even
more fortunate are the boys and girls of
the public schools of Forest county. To
them this offer brings opportunities such
as rarely come to elementary schools in
town or country. The bestowal of these
honors ought to serve as great incen-
tive to regular attendance and closer
application on the part of pupils to the
daily work of the school. 1t Will surely
stimulate healthy interest in the school
activities of that county.
We regret that the benefactor is unwill-
ing to permit his name to be made pub
lie. This very fact, however, emphasizes
the unseltishness of the giver and shows
the spirit which underlies true giving.
All honor to him who makes opportuni-
ties for the youth of our country to Sc
cure the advantages of an education.
His patriotic spirit should be emulated
by all those who are in position to aid
in the work of training for American cit
izenship. Clarion Republican.

MarienYille Swamped.

REDCLYFFE, Pa, July II, 1906.
The Marienville rooters swallowed a
bitter dose today when the Redclyfie ball
tossers went over and walked all around
the team there, the score standing 10 to
at the end of the seventh inning. In the
first half of the eighth Redclyfle scored
four more runs. In Marienville's half,
Keller, the scorer, doctored the batting
list and opened up with the heavy hitters.
RedclylIe protested, while the umpire,
Reyner, refused to investigate and called
the game. Haight, for Redcly ffe, was very
effective and kept the hits scattered, strik-
ing out thirteen. McMasters and Keat-
ing for Marienville we're hit hard and
freely by our boys, as the score shows.
Features of the game were running catch
es by Braden aud Hooe, and Hillard's
back-hapded sacrifice.

Fell Nearly Forty Feet.

Fred. Blum, son of our townsman,
VIM. f. Blum, met with an accident
Friday last, at Kellettville, which, though
severe enough as 1t is, might easily have
resulted in instant death. He has been
employed with force of men under
Patrick Joyce in the construction of the
stone abutments of the new county bridge
building at that place, and had gone to
the top of crane used in the work, about
80 feet in height, when the whole derrick
like apparatus toppled over. Fred alight-
ed first on the top of the abutment and
from there was thrown to the creek bot
tom, some eight or ten feet farther,
where he was picked up more dead than
alive aud conveyed to his boarding
house, and DR.. Detar summoned. He
found large cash extending from the
top of Fred's right shoulder diagonally
across his chest and ending down at his
left side, cut through the flesh TO the ribs,
His left wrist was severely sprained and
he had received a bad bump over the
left eye, rendering him pretty sore boy,
but from which he is recovering rapidly.
The accident was hair-raising sight to
those who witnessed it, and after all the
Young man escaped luckily.

A Rapid Growth

One of the notable examples of the
progress of business education in this
country is furnished by the rapid growth
of the Meadville Commercial College, of
Meadville, Pa.
This school was organized in 1887 Miss
s. l.. Boyd, the present principal and
proprietor, and the success of the school
has been phenomenal. Starting with one
small room and three students of short
hand the school has grown until 1t now
occupies eleven rooms, has faculty of
ten teachers and numbers students by
the hundred. One of the important rea-
sons for this rapid growth has been the
policy pursued by the school. The best
teachers have been employed, the best
courses of study installed, and good posi-
tions furnished for students after they
have completed their work. The name
"The school that gets results is well
merited, and prospective pupils should
send for catalogue and literature.

RECENT DEATHS.



Sylvester James Setley was born near
Cooperstown, Pa, February 25th, 1874,
and died at his home in Tionesta, July
14th, 1906. In 1852 his father, George
Setley, came with his family to Forest
county and purchased farm on Hunter
Run, near Tionesta. Here at seventeen
years OF age he responded to the call Of
President Lincoln and was enrolled 0cto-
ber 10Th, 1861, as a private in Co. f, 5Sth
Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. He
participated in several expeditions; took
part in three raids, was in several skir-
mishes, and near Newbern, North Caro-
lima, April nth, 1873, he was wounded by
mimic ball through the ankle joint, re-
sultiDg in the amputation of the leg below
the knee. As a soldier he was brave and
faithful, as many OF his comrades can
testify.
On May I'd, 1875, he was united in mar
riage with Miss II elena Thompson. Two
children blessed this union, Irene, who
died in infancy, and Zeta, who died ten
years ago, so that his widow, who for
several years has been in frail health, is
left alone in this hour of sorrow. Mr..
Setley was a member of Forest Lodge,
No. 1874, A. o. u, W., also of Capt. Geo.
Stow Post. G. A. r. For FIVE years he
held the office of County Treasurer, had
been Justice of the Peace for twenty
one years and deputy Prothonotary for
sixteen years.
During the pastorate of the Rev. Alva
Wilder he united with the NJ. f. church
and was member of tho official board at
the time of his death. His illness lasted
for more than year. The past five
weeks lie was confined to his bed and
suffered continuously. The nature of the
disease, which at the first was somewhat
obscure, developed into tuberculosis of
the bowels, and in spite ofthe physicians
skill steadily progressed until death gave
him blessed relief from pain. In his
death we have another soldier grave to
deck with flowers, another mound to re-
mind us that The brave aud noble men
who rallied around the flag and preserved
to us the Union, are rapidly responding
to the final roll call. May their last days
be full of peace and prosperity.
Beside his widow, Mr., Setley is sur
vived by one brother, Winfield S. Setey,
of Newtown Mills. this county, and two
sisters, Mrs. Il. A. Mcintyre, of Mead
vile Pa, and Mrs. John Godfrey, West
Middlesey, Pa.
Funeral services were held at the late
home of the deceased on sabbath after
noon, conducted by Rev. W. o. Calhoun,
the remains being laid to rest in River
side cemetery. A very large concourse
of friends in Tionesta and vicinity attend
ed the obsequies, conspicuous among the
number being goodly turnout of COM
rades of the G.. A. r.
The ball bearers we're taken from from
among the comrades of the deceased, az
follows: G.. w. Robinson, S. d. Irwin,
j. c. Hoovler, Peter Lindel, W. W. Wal
ford, L. Agnew.

When the Aldermen decided 10 investi-
gate the Street Cleaning Department they
asked for S25 900 to pay the expenses Of the
inquiry. The Board of Estimate granted
them $40 600, but the Mayor said that he
wanted the inquiry to be thorough and
told the committee to come again If il needed
more.
The committee will have to take the Mayor
at his word. Just before the beginning OF
yesterday hearing Chairman Grifenhagen
of the committee got a bill from the
accountants who have been going over the
books Of the department, The bill wa
for 81, 600 'on account Mr.. Grifenhagen
demanded to know what the con account
meant. He was informed that the indebted
ness for accountants services to date was
between 5000 and 5000. The outlook
was that the committee II IT allowed the
accountants TO continue would have moth
ing left of the SIC, 600 for other expenses, to
say nothing Of the fee of MIR. WINS az coun-
sci. Further inquiry brought out the fact
that ten accountants have been employed

Ma gistrato Wahle in the Tombs police
court yesterday rendered Il decision in the
first case brought into court by the police
under the Prentice amendment to the
excise law. The decision, was strictly in
accordance with Attorney General Mayors
recent opinion tina a building having ten
rooms above the ground floor ia a hotel
within the meaning of the liquor tax law,
while a building ha wing fourteen rooms or
more is a hotel within the meaning of the
building code, and must be fireproof and
come up TO all other requirements.
The case was that of Robert Allen, a
waiter in an alleged Raines law hotel at
100 Bowery. He was arrested on May 0
on n charge of violating the Prentice law,
In that the house did not comply with the
provisions Of the building code. The build
ing has not more than ten rooms.
Lawyer Thomas j. Sullivan, who ap-
pcared for Allen, read the Attorney-Gen-
erals opinion TO the court and said that
according TO il no violation of the excise
law could be proved by the police.
Detective Foraker of the Mulberry street
station, who seemed to be trying the case
for the whole police department, having no
one to help him in the prosecution, said he
arrested Allen under the Prentice law be-
cause the alleged hotel did not comply
with the provisions of the building code.
Magistrate Wahle said that Allen did not
violate the law and discharged him.
A number of liquor dealers were in court.
They seemed oheered by the dacisioo.
