"A Sheffield dispatch says; The Shelf
field aud Tionesta railroad has received
some new gondolas for use on that road.
The cars are painted black and are of the
standard size. 1t is not known If they
will enter them In the regular interchange
traffic or keep them exclusively for their
own use. When the road Is through to
Tionesta. they will require many cars to
take care of the increased traffic which
they expect through the laying IN OF the
new extension.
One of the effects of the remarkably
low water of the Allegheny river in the
vicinity of %Irvineton has been to bring to
light a boiler and engine which for many
years has been at the bottom of the river
at that point, and 1t is puzzling old timers
to give a theory for its presence. Accord
ing TO copper plates on the outfit 1t was
made at the Washington Iron works, at
Newburgh. N. Y, in 1864. The boiler is
of so or go horse power and the engine
about IL horse power.
First frosts OF the season fell Tuesday
and Wednesday nights of last week, and
in many places back from the river con-
siderable damage was lone TO corn and
vegetable vines. Sunday night of this
week was perhaps the coolest yet, and the
frost PRACTICAL finished what was left
from the previous f%reezings. In most
cases the corn was sufficiently advanced
TO withstand the frosts and the ears may
moi have been seriously affected. but the
fodder is practically done for. Buck
wheat, 10 most cases was about mstured,
but the crop is likely to be less than the
average.
When it Is known that a killing frost
occurred on June 10 last, and that another
freeze that was blasting to crops fell Sept.
10, 1t will be realized that this was a. very
short summer, there only being ninety
growing days of the season says the Ii
tusville Herald. The records on the Tt
tusville Light and Power company's big
thermometer show that on June 10, at 4 a.
M, 1t registered 20 degrees, and on Sept.
10 at the same hour 81 degrees was re-
corded. This was the shortest season.
between killing frosts, known In a great
many years. For quite q long time there
has not been a bad frost in September
and for I'VE years there was not a heavy
frost until late in October thus giving
crops a good chance to mature even
though there we're late springs.
"A man named Sisson whose home for
the past several years has been at West
Hickory, Forest county, arrived in town
last night with his wife and five little
children and as the furniture bad not
arrived and there was no gas In the b use
they had rented they were the care of the
Salvation Army, Adjutant boucher and
his wife. Mrs. Sisson and the five child
rem sre all sufferers from tuberculosis
and they came to Warren so they could
receive treatment from the free tubercul-
osis dispenssry In this city. Sisson was
without funds aud as u deposit of $40 is
required by the gas company when a
meter is put 10 the gas was not turned on
in the house until this morning after
Adjutant boucher had arranged for a
meter. Mrs. Sisson's case is very bad
and the children all have we'll advanced
cases OF tuberculosis. The youngest
child Is about I'VE years old and the oldest
is twelve. There are thirteen children in
the family, but the five who were brought
to Warren are the only ones that are sf-
flicted with the disease. One daughter,
aged about IS, died about two years ago
from the same disease. Warren Times,
