oil and Gas Co., of Msrienville drilled in
a gas we'll the past week that is good for
more than half million feet of gas per
day, aud will be drilled to the third sand,
in which gas in paying quantities has
been found in other wells on the lease.
w. T. Hart, of this place, with Judge A ul
and David Miniz, of Marienville, own
this lease aud have an excellent property.
A Showers and W T. Hart have sold
their oil lease at Blue Jay, known as the
Showers lease, 10 Warren parties, and we
understand $4,000 was the purchase
price. Only part of this lease has been
drilled.
Common carriers in Pennsy lvania
may issue to employees, officers and those
dependent on them passes as has always
been the case. In the recently enacted
pub lie utility law there is nothing that
can be construed against the family
pass" This was the verdict last week of
the Public Service Comm ission which
two weeks ago held hearing on the sub
iect. This decision will no doubt cause
the Pennsylvania railroad to rescind its
order abolshiDg passes. Such an order,
1t II estimated, will affect $50 900 in this
state. The commission dec ided also that
| In no part of the law can II be construed
that street railways cannot carry tiremen
and policemen free of charge while on
duty. No decision was made on the ap-
peal for reduced rates for clergymen.
The most unique damage suit ever
begun IN Venango county WAS instituted
last week at Franklin when the attorneys
of Alfred Severins, formerly the leader of
an Italian band al FRANKLIN began an &C.
tion to recover " 900 from Paul Hepler,
proprietor of the Com mercia hotel in that
city. The plaintiff alleges in his state
ment of claim that in Decemb ber of last
year he was solicited TO drink what was
supposed to be whisky alleged to have
been purchased of an employe of the de-
fendant by one Girardo de Fonso; that he
drank q small portion of the liquor con-
tained in the bottle; that it contained a
certain noxions. poisonous. caustic liquor,
not whisky and that his throat and
stomach we're burned; that he suffered
great pain aud that he believes he will be
permanently injured and unable to work.
&c. &. CASTOR, Tionesta's new post
master, assumed the duties OF his appoint
ment on Monday. when the retiring in
cumbent turned over all the government
property to his successor. After iour
years of faithful work in a very trying
position Mr.. Jameson retires with the
good opinion OF all the patrons of the
office, having during that time fully sus.
tanned his reputation for kindness and
courtesy under many annoyaDces. We
feel safe in predicting that MIR. CASTOR
will be the same sort of official through
out his term, and will step down aud out
(when the next Republican is appointed)
with the same good opinion OF the public
which he has faithfully served. Mr.. Gas.
ton retains Miss Belle Jameson rs his
clerk, which action gives very general
sstisfsction.
Special meetings in both tho NJ. II
and Presbyterian churches are continu-
ing throughout this week, and are being
well attended. Both ministers are giving
their congregations the best that is in
them in the way of excellent sermons,
and while they have been well sustained
in the matter of attendance, they no doubt
feel that there is room for still greater
zeal in this direction. So why not arrange
your affairs to attend yourself, il you
have not been. and take a friend with
you. And this. by-the.way, reminds us
that Rev. Mr.. Bailey an oounce that next
SUNDAY would be rally day for church
attendance and that he hoped every body
who was able would attend some one of
the churches in the town. His appeal
was of course more particularly to those
who are not regular in their attendance
and to those who scarcely ever 90. Is
there any reason why this appeal should
not touch your Think IL over, and then
make 1t point to come out.
