As showing what trolley roads will
do for community the Warren Times
notes that the d. A. V. d P. railroad,
which parallels the trolley road to Fal-
coner, near jamestown, is making a
strong bid for the business to jamestown
and intermediate points from Warren.
Four tickets are sold from Warren to
jamestown for 81. These are good from
Falconer into any point in jamestown,
including Celoron, and include transfers.
This makes the fare from Warren to Gel
oron just twenty-five cents. The road
also sells these four trip tickets to Frews-
burg and intermediate stations at proper
tionately low rates. The road is also pre-
pairing to make stops at the Court House
and points along the Conewango.

vans, across the river, and few minutes

"A house occupied by Lewis Dale, in
Marienville, was struck by lightning
about three o'clock Sunday afternoon,
during a severe storm which passed over
that place, and totally destroyed by the
fire which followed. Mr.. Dale and family
were seated at the dinner table when the
bolt struck the house but none of them
were shocked. The whole roof seemed
to catch fire at once and nothing could
be done to check the flames. All the
household goods on the lower floor were
saved but verything on the second floor
excepting gun and trunk was burned.
Mr.. Dale's loss on goods will be about
$500, with no insurance. The house was
owned by Mrs. Margaret Snyder of But
Ter, Pa, and her loss will be $500, with
no insurance. Mr.. Dale states that this
is the second time he has been burned
out while seated at the dinner table, the
other time being at Bowmanville.
