We are in receipt of marked copy
of the Pittsburg Index, showing an H.
Illustrated article on the beauty and utility
of dsms, which some friend has evidently
been inspired to send us in view of our
opposition to the plan of damming Tio-
nesta creek and Clarion rivers as pro-
posed in articles of incorporation now he
ing asked at Harrisburg. The dams
shown in these pictures are beautiful. In
fact they are good deal more beautiful
than the pictures published immediat
after the desolatiun of Austin, showing
the effect of one of these beautiful dams
letting go, and the articles accompanying
them are far less narrowing reading than
the lists OF dead and wounded at Austin.
But we are still against the damming

Andrews's second trial for the murder of
Emile Amsnn. Erie county was selected

morning District Attorney Lyons sub
mltted an affidavit in which he denied
generally all of the accusations of the de-
tense relative to Andrews not being able
to get fair trial in Warren county.
Judge Hinckley a moment or so alter
hearing the petition said that in view of
all the circumstances he would grant a
change of venue. He mentioned the fol-
lowing counties as feasible ones Tor the
trial of the case: Jefferson, McKean, We.
mango, Cleartield and Erie. At the
Courts suggestion, counsel for Andrews
consulted him in his cell relative to where
he desired the case to go. He replied th At
he had no wish in the matter beyond the
fact that he desired that the county have
large population, where there would be
less likelihood of prejudice. Andrews de-
clined 10 make choice of the five coun-
ties named. When this was reported to
Judge Hinckley he said Erie county
would be chosen. being the largest of the
five mentioned.
