The commissioners of Erie county
are engaged in counting what the recent
retrial of j. M. Andrews>for the murder
OF Emile Amann will cost Warren county
taxpayers. The first trial cost the county
Sl2 900, and 1t is expected these figures
will be at least duplicated The COM
missioners are deciding close point in
connection with the jurymen, More than
100 were called on the panel and the COM
missioners are figuring as to how many
of these should be paid by Warren coun-
ty. For the first three days two courts

-one day last week while playing near
the river bridge some boys picked up a
monster fish of the pike species that had
evidently been dynsmited. When found
the fish yet showed signs of life. 1t
measured 81 feet aud would weigh close
to 20 pounds surely beauty. A river
which holds such magnificent specimens
OF game fish ought to have better pro-
lection from the dynamiter than the
grand old Allegheny gets, and doubtless
it could have ifthe well paid fish wardens
were made to earn their ssiaries, instead
of spying around trying to catch some
bare footed boy with few understood
trout.

The state of Pennsylvania is now in
charge of the main roads of this and other
counties of the state named in the Sproul
roads law as the main th0roughfares of
the commonwealth, this having gone into
effect June 1, Saturday. The few tx-
ceptions are the toll roads which have
been kept up by private corporations and
which are not in need of repairs at this
time. The state authorities will now be
responsible to the county commissioners
for keeping up the main roads between
this Borough and Oil City, Clarion, Ridg-
way, Sheffield and Warren, according to
the understanding of the general public
as to the reading of the law. And if this
Interpretation is correct 1t strikes the
average citizen that something more than
surveying crews will have to be put to
work on the state roads, many of which
are in a condition bordering on the i'm
passable. The counties of the state have
been divided into districts and sub dis
tricts, each of which will have superin-
tendent. Whether Forest county has
been punched IN district with some
other county we know not. Al any rate
we have heard of no appointment being
made for the county.
Although Memorial Day, Thursday
opened threateningly, tho clouds riited
toward noon and the weather was ideal
for the occasion. The program as adopted
by the Post and Corps was carried out to
the letter, the attendance OF citizens of the
borough and Surroundings being quite
large. Riverside cemetery, where the
exercises of decoration took place, never
looked prettier, having been thoroughly
beautihed for the occasion, and lovely
flowers we're in evidence on every hand.
The veterans we're escorted In their line
of march by the Relief Corps and Sons OF

band furnishing the musical inspiration.
Following the impressive services over
the graves ofthe fallen heroes, the assem-
blage marched to the court house where

livered splendid address, brimming

erence to the achievements of the brave
