ming, were attractive features of the SER
vices. In the morning Prof. Gill, o

the violin solos by Miss McAlpin, men
toned elsewhere, Mr.. Il. G. joy, of Erie,

congregation with a solo, and the male
quartette, composed of Rev. H. A. Bailey,

When Colonel Bessy, the we'll known
p. II. h. baggage master running from
Olean on the night train Of the Saaman-
Ca branch, arrived last night, he was sc-
c)mpanied by a blacksnake that is said
to have measured II feet, but no oppor-
tuDities to verify the statement were Of
fered, The colonel disclaimed any credit
for capturing the reptile, which was very
much alive. On the contrary, he ex-
pressed the opinion that it would be a
great deal better to carry such express
matter on day trains. 1t was shipped
from Tionesta and consigned to the Uni.
versity of Pittsburgh for experimental
purposes. oil City Derrick, 18th.
The citizens of Summerville, Jetfer-
son county, suffered the loss of the
greater portion OF the business section of
their town by ire which broke out in
the clothing store of Charles Abrams last
Wednesday night at 1880 O'Clock.
Abrams had locked up his store in the
morning and prepared to go to Pittsburg
to join in festivities in connection with
the Jewish New Year, and just how the
fire got started is mystery which is
puzzing the people. The property loss
is estimated at about $4,000, covered
about fl tteen business places, and the in
surance does not nearly cover the loss.
The Union National bank building and
the postoffice are among the property
