Very often the REPUBLICAN, is asked
to "stir up" road supervisors in the
townships, and tell them there are great
many loose stones In the main Travelled
roads of the country that should be
picked up and put out of the way of wag-
ons and autos. The law is plain on this
subject. During the summer months II
is the duty of all road commissioners to
see that the roads are improved by the
removal of all the loose stones. The
work is not dangerous or difficult, and
is easily attended to. A hint to the wise
should be enough.
Mary Ann Hays, wife of Nat han
Osten, died at the family home near the
white Church, Stewart Run, in the early
morning of Thursday, July 20, 1911, aged
SO years, 7 months and days. She had
been i'll and bedfast for nearly two
months, her disease battling medical
skill. Mrs. Osten had resided practically
all her life in the community in which
she died, honored and respected by all
who knew her. Her parents were early
settlers in Harmony township, from
which section her father enlisted as a
volunteer in the Union army In which
he gave up his life in the defense Of his
country, having been killed in battle.
Besides her aged mother, residing in
Cory, Pa, she is survived by her hus-
band and one son, Robert 0slen. Funeral
services, conducted by Rev. Homer
Bryner of Pleassntyille, were held at the
White Church, Friday afternoon, fol-
lowed by the interment in the cemetery
near there.
The provisions of the new road law,
copy of which may be seen at the Pro-
thonotary's Office. will be of general in
terest, especially to township residents.
II does away with the work road tax en-
tirely, all taxes being payable in cash.
Heretofore all the laws contained options.
The law provides that each township shall
receive from the State 80 per cent. of the
amount collected by it for road purposes,
which so per cent. is additional to the
amount collected by the township. There
is a prov ision in the law, however, that
no township shall receive more than $40
for each mile of road in the township
Nothing in the law interferes with the
appropriation for the maintenance of state
or macadamized roads. The new law
provides that the general supervision of
township roads shall be In the hands OF
the township supervisors, and they shall
be elected for four years each. One is to
be chosen this year. The board will thus
be made up of the supervisors elected in
1909, 1910 and 1911. They shall organize
by electing one of their number presi-
dent and by electing secretary and treas
urer, who may be one or more persons
and who may or may not be township
supervisor, but not road master.
The Warren Mirror last week gay Q
the following as part of an interview
which reporter OF that paper had with
John NJ. Andrews, who stands convicted
as the slayer of Emil AmanD: John M,
Andrews said TO the Mirror representa-
tive that he was reared by Christian par
eDts and that they were Presbyterans OF
what might be termed the old school
and that they adhered strictly TO their
strong faith and that he was directed in
accordance Herewith. He says that he is
member of the Fourth Presbyterian
church of Allegheny City, but has not at
tended for years because he has not been
resident of that city. John M.
Andrews stated positively to the War
rem Mirror representative that he will
have startling story for publication and
that 1t will be far reaching. He said that
in his connection with the Warren Water
Works Company that he would reveal all
he knows and intimated that it will max Q
many who may be councilmen or others
sit up and take notice. This, when
published, and it will be before the argu-
ment for new trial, will reveal much
that may startle this community. Mr..
Andrews said Il have been placed in this
predicsment by a conspiracy and ! intend
to go through with the entire affair re-
gardless OF whom it may hit" Next
Monday, July 81, has been fixed by Judge
Hinckley as the date for hearing the
