Saturday night, where the village folk
had patronized church social and eaten
copiously of the ice cream that was served
and were poisoned. More than 80 people
were affected many of them seriously,
but all were in fair way to recovery
when he left. 1t is thought the fiavoring
extract was responsible for the trouble.
Captain X. G. Shut of Warren ar
rived here Monday afternoon with his
steam launch, the "City of Warren" and
is doing considerable business carrying
passengers around the eddy at five cents
for the trip. The craft is neat and trim
and will comfortably carry twenty We
passengers. 1t is stationed near tho
river bridge. 1t is stern-wheeler and
was built by Mr.. Shut in Warren for
excursion purposes but on account of its
draught could not get out OF the eddy at
low stage. He expects to go to Pitts
burg on the next rise.
Bill Nye had the truth well told when
he said: "a man may use wart on the
back of his neck for callar button; ride
on the back coach of railroad train to
save interest on his money till the con-
ductor gets around; stop his watch at
night to save wear and tear; leave his IL
or IT. without dot or cross to save ink;
pasture his mothers grave TO save corn;
but man of this sort is gentleman and
a scholar compared to the fellow who will
take ne yspaper two or three years and
when asked to pay for it, put it into the
Office and haye it marked refused.
The alumni of the Edinboro Normal
School is sending out an appeal to all
former students, especially to those who
attended between the years 1861 to 1892,
asking for financial aid to purchase a
home for Prof and Mrs, j. A. Cooper,
The aged Professor, who was principal of
the school during that period has been
forced, after long, laborious service in
the cause of education. to give up his
comfortable home and take rooms on the
second floor of a very old building, and
it is to give the aged couple home where
they can find that rest and peace to which
they are so much entitled in their declin-
ing years that the appeal is made. In all
probability the response will be quite
generous as it should be.
Hon. George Maloney, one of the best
known best beloved and most enterpris-
ing citizens of Franklin, died suddenly
Monday morning of this week in the JEFF
ferson hospital, Philadelphia. He had
left home about ten days prior for an
eastern trip and while in Philadelphia
was seized with an attack of appendicitis
and peritonitis. His condition was such
as to forbid an operation. Mr. Maloney
was in his 59th year, and most of his use
ful and energetic life was spent in the oil
regions of this state, where he was a
prominent figure for nearly forty years.
He was quite prominent in politics, being
an ardent Democrat, and was twice elect
ed Mayor of Franklin, and twice to the
legislature from Venango county.
Ira Samuelson, of Warren, who has
the contract of moving and rebuilding
the old Bonner house for +. r. Lanson,
found an interesting relic tucked away
between the ceiling and floor of the
building, on Saturday. The relic is a
message in pamphlet form from Gov.
Francis r. Skunk to the Pennsylvania
Legislature and is dated Jan. 5, 1913. The
most important statement in the message
is a strong mendation against spec
ial legislation, which was prohibited un-
der the new constitution of 1878, so it will
be noticed the reform was long time
coming. Old residents inform us that
the house was built in 1852 for Hamilton
Stow and that William Mckinley, Gill
bert Mckinley and other old-time arti-
sans did the carpenter work.
Among the many camping parties in
a more slightly or beautiful spot than a
party of young men from Sharpsburg,
Pa, who are under the care of John
Farrell, Sr., of that city. Their camp is
located on F. L. Reib's land, on Tionesta
Creek, about mile and half from Tio-
nesta, where they have been enjoying all
the com forts of we'll regulated camp for
the past three weeks. They will break
camp next Friday. Besides the first
named gentleman, the others in the party
are George Waight, Edward McCue, John
Auth, Fred Auth, Martin Repine, Will
lam Casey, Charles Zumpt, Frank Tro-
gas, Edward Maeter, Albert Yerkins and
Roger Nestor. The men have made
many friends by their gentlemanly de-
pertinent and will be welcomed here
every year If they decide to come. One
of their strict rules was that no intoXi-
eating liquor should be brought into the
camp. The party entertained a number
of invited guests at supper Sunday eve
ming, the chief item on the menu being
genuine turtle soup, prepared by Mr..
Farrell from futile captured by one OF
the party, and it was feast fit for king.
Among the visitors Sunday we're Mr.. and
Mrs. John l.. Farrell Jr., bride and
groom of recent date, who are quartered
at the Hotel Weaver, and who came up
to surprise the groom's father. The
