Rev. ]. p. Hicks Dies Suddenly.

Rev. John p. Hicks, for forty five years
a mem ber OF the Erie con ference OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, and at differ
ent times holding charges at Tionesta and
Clarington, this county, died on Saturday
night Feb. 3, 1912. He had attended a
revival meeting in the evening, and death
came suddenly few minutes after reach
ing his home at Big Run. Jefferson coun-
ty, Pa, where be had been living re-
tired life. Mr.. Hicks was in his seventy.
second year and for many years was quite
active in the Methodist church work, be-
ing quite we'll known all over the con-
ference. AT the time of his death he was
on the superanuuated list. The deceased
is survived by his wife. One child was
born in their union, girl, but she died
about two years ago. Funeral services
over the remains were held on Wednes
day afternoon at two o'clock at Big Run,

and made his last visit here on August 25,
1908, at the lime of the laying of the cor
ner stone OF the new NJ. E. church. In
Rev. j. N, Fradenburg's history of the
Erie conference we learn that Rev. John
P. Hicks was sent to assist Rev. A. j.
Merchant on The Tionesta circuit in the
year 1868, which at that time consisted of
Tonesta, Asbury Chapel, East Hickory
Beaver Valley, Whig Hill, Minister
Mills, Newtown Mills, Ross Run,

dured some hardships serving without
salary and travelled from place to place on
foot the greater part OF the time. He
boarded around with the people and told

him. Hon. n. p. Wheeler was the choir

No Decision In Charter Cases.

Up to the hour of going to press the
State water com mission at Harrisburg
had announced no decision as to its course
In the matter of the attempted steal of the
water rights on Tionesta creek and the
Clarion river, and what its intention is
can only be coDjectured. The committee
of representatives which was sent down
from this section to protest against the
granting of such frightful rights to a few
individuals, came away impressed with
the thought that, inasmuch as the two
members OF the commission who held
the hearing were arguing 10 favor of the
charter applicants, there must be some
understanding that the water com mission
would finally recommend the granting of
the horrible privileges.
Can this thing be?
Is there not decency enough left at the
State Capitol to stop this dsmnabe out
rageH
will Governor Tener permit il?
These are questions that the people of
the Northwest are asking in ell serious
ness, for they feel that, in order that few
spectators may further their own inter-
ests, the lives of thousands of the citizens
should not be placed in such awful jeop-
ardy, leaving out of the consideration the
utter destruction OF their property.
God help the people should this ca
lamity be visited upon them!
Remember Johnstown and Austin!
And for no other purpose than the
possibility of further enriching a few
whose wealth Is already burden to them.
The Clarion Democrat of last week had
this to say of the hideous proposition:
The people of Pennsylvania have the
right to look for and expect the care and
protection of their state government un-
element is introduced into the affairs of
the state that is harmful to the best in
terests and protection OF the people at
large, that moment our state government
should be made aware of the impending
danger and should begin at once to exer-
else all of its power TO overcome such
armful thing or influence.
When a number of men, unknown as
taxpayers, responsible citizens or busi-
ness men attempt to seize upon the rights
of the people as a matter of speculation
the State authorities should at once inter-
pret the law and make it the policy of the
state 10 intervene and stop all such
questionable enterprises.
The mere fact that four or five men
with very limited capital, or even large
capital, and a tremendous cupidity and
nerve endeavor to use the corporation
laws of this state to steal away the rights
of the people along the Clarion river and
the Tionesta creek to satisfy their own
greed at the expense of the public, the
state authorities should put stop to it at
once and for all.
Between the state and national govern
ment the people should surely be pro-
tected.
