Represe ntative French ard othe,

much of their attention in an attemnt
to have passed the bill that has bee,
reported by the Committee on Irri a

Two Barns Struck By Lightning.

During a severe electi ical storm which
passed over that section Sunday night the
large farm barn, 32x42, belonging to
George Norton and located on Church
Hill, was str uck by lightning about 1890
O'clock, and was entirely consumed by
the fire which ensued. All the contents,
consisting of a moving machine, many
farming implements, and one pig, were
burned up. By extraordinary efforts Mr..
Norton succeeded in rescuing one pig
from the burning building. Mr.. NCrton
had barely finished remodeliDg his barn,
having replaced the roof which was blown
OIL by a windstorm early this spring. He
carried S400 insurance on the building
and $500 on the contents in the Farmers
Mutual company through the Amer
Agency, which only partially covers his
loss.
In the same evening about nine O'clock
the farm barn OF George Burhenn, located
on his farm on the road leading from
the Wing Hill road down Ross run 10 To
nesta creek, Kingsley township, was
struck by a bolt OF lightning, knocking a
hole in the oof about a foot square and
then following the lightning rod TO the
ground. The building was not fired by
this stroke, and no damage, except as
noted, was done,

Some Tionesta Creek Scenery To Be
Preserved For the Future.

Travellers up and down the beautiful
valley of Tionesta creek have had good
reason to eXclaim over the grandness of
the scenery as shown in her forest COW
cred hills and valleys. One of the par
ticularly beautiful spots in this respect is
in the pretty village of Nebraska, where
on the hill on the east side of the creek
and directly facing the village there yet
stands m of the few remaining growtbs
of virgin timber. In this are shown all
the varying shades of green of the state
ly pines and hemlocks as we'll as the
sturdy h~ardwoods. AS travellers gazed
on this natural picture the sad thought
would intrude that in a few years the
ruthless axe of the woodsman would lay
it low, leaving nothing but a ~blackened
waste of hillside. For years it has been
in the mind OF Mr.. T. ID. Collins, of the
firm of Collins, Darrah x Co., to make a
permanent reserve of this tract and the
public generally will be pleased to know
that this is now taking definite form.
For several days Mr.. F. f. Whittekin of
Tionesta has been at Nebraska surveying
out a plot of ground on which the timber
shall remain standing if arrangements
can be satisfactorily made. We Lope that
Mr.. Collins can persuade his partners to
sea the project as be does and that this
one beauty spot almost at our very doors
will be left to gladden. the eyes of future
generations as they travel the roads in
this, the most beautiful valley in all this
section,

Kills His Friend Then Himself.

An appalling tragedy was enacted at
the sand plant five miles below Cochran
ton on the franklin branch of the Erie
railroad late Monday afternoon.
After holding a Sherif's posse at bay
all night Edward Bartholomew, aged 80
yerrs, slashed his throat with a razor
yesterday morning in a shanty in which
he had bsrricaded himself, at the plant.
He had evidently provoked a quarrel
with his friend Samuel Crow,her, who
was superintendent of the plant. Barth-
olomey had been away the day before and
had bsen drinking heavily, but had gone
to work as usual Monday morning, being
the engineer al the plant.
No one knows what the quarrel was
about, but Bartholomew, in a fit of fren-
~, ran after Crowther some distance and
shot at him with a revolver. The latter
turned and begged his assailsnt to spare
his life, but the crazed mau shot him
down and after he had fallen fired three
more bullets into the PROSTATE body of
his erstwhile friend. He then went back
TO the shanty which both had occupied
previous to the quarrel, and ended his
own life as stated. The shooting was
witnessed by a number of Austrian labor
ers, who ran in fright and gave the alarm,
Both men were residents of Cochran
ton. Crowther was never married.. Bar
tholomew was once an engineer on Erie
railroad, and his brother, M. B. Barthol-
omew, is at present a popular conductor
on the franklin branch. The dead man
was a widower and leaves three children
living in Pittsburg.

HULL LAD STARTS
FOR SEAT or WAR
But the Station Master a
Grafton Sends Him
Back Home.

Monday evenings edition Of the
Grafton Sentinel had the following
about a Clarksburg lad:
The thirst for adventure seems to
run Just as strong as ever in the
mind of the small boys and they
still want to fight the fast disap-
pearing Indians in the West, but
Charles Hull, of Clarksburg, decided
that he was willing to go to Mexico
to help in the revolution that has
been raging there. Charles Hull
an eight-year-old lad, arrived here
Sunday morning from Bridgeport,
travelling on half-fare ticket that
he had purchased there. He had
walked from Clarksburg to Bridge
port. He got here and decided to
go on to Wheeling. He walked up
to Station Master Lilly, produced a
half dollar and a quarter, and asked
how far he could go on "a big quar-
ter and little quarter"
Lilly started questioning the lit
tie fellow and found that he was on
his way to Mexico to help fight in
the revolution. He was costumed in
one OF the boy scout uniforms that
seemed to have a military look. The
sum OF seventy-five cents was all he
had to pay his way with, but he
thought he could get there some
way. Mr.. Lilly decided that the buy
was more needed in his home at
tClarksburg than he was by the
trouble makers in Mexico, SO he
took the boy in charge. He took
the lad to lunch with him and then
sent him back to ClarksDurg on the
afternoon train. The boy was a
very manly little fellow land did NOT
seem to mind his return to his home
in the least.
