Forest Lusher Crippled For Life.

A most distressing accident happened
at Titusville last Thursday afternoon, by
which Tionesta young man was rem
dered a cripple for life. Forest Lusher,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Lusher, had
his left leg crushed under trolley car in
that city at about $3.50 in the afternoon of
the day stated. He had gone with many
others from this vicinity TO take in the
Fair, and was on his way to the fair
grounds and had reached point lust west
of the city limits, when car No. 4 of the
Titusville street car line running west
came along. The car was in charge of
William West motorman, and Conductor
Frank Witherop, while a trailer that was
attached ahead OF the car was in charge of
Conductor George N. Hess. Just as the
cars had reached point along the
mscadsm road, above Schwartz's lane,
where the sidewalk is located on slight
elevation, Forest ran out onto the road
way with the intention ofjum ping aboard
the trailer, which was an open car. He
failed in his effort and being struck by
the car, was knocked down. According
to spectators. the young man fell in such
manner as to leave his left leg project
ing across the right hand rail and the
wheels ran over him before the car could
be stopped, though the power was shut
off and the brakes atrongly applied.
Doctors were summoned from the fair
grounds, Drs. J. G. Logan of Titusvile
and A. W. Goodwin of Oil City respond
ing to call. They were promptly on
the scene and directed that the injured
man be taken to the city hospital. At the
institution it was discovered that the left
leg had been so badly crushed that am
putation was imperative, and it was
taken off between the knee and ankle
The patient suffered greatly from shock
and pain, but has since been doing well un-
der the trying circumstances. He is aged
% years and is a young man of strong
constitution, having followed drilling
4 with bis father since he was Is years OF
age. His parents we're promptly noti-
/ fled of their sons misfortune and started
at once to his bedside, and remained with
him several days. 1t will doubtless be
severalweeks before the young man is
able leave the hospital.

Peter s. Lindal of Tionesta enjoyed
the annual reunion with his old comrades
of the 9th N. Y. Cavalry, which event
took place at Brocton, N. Y, Sept. 9th
and 10th. Eighty of the members of the
regiment were present and they were
royalty entertained for two full days by
the citizens of Brocton. At the outbreak
of the Civil war Mr.. Llndal enlisted in
this command at Westfield, N. Y, and
servsd until honorably discharged at the
close of the war. He states that twenty
seven of the comrades have answered the
last roll call during the past year.
AT the parsonage of the First Baptist
church, Warren. Pa Sept. IL, 1914, at 9
o'clock p. M, the pastor, Rev. Fl. l.
Stewart, united in marriage Mr.. John w.
Daubenspeck, one of Kellettvile's well
known and popular citizens, and Mrs.
Mary Gramlick, OF Huey, Clarion county,
highly esteemed in the community in
which she has made her home for num-
ber of years. Mr.. and Mrs. Daubenspeck
passed through Tionesta Monday enroute
to their home in Kellettville, where the
bridegroom has we'll furnished home
for the reception of his bride. The RE-
PUBLICAN joins their many friends in ex-
prosperity and happiness
The "old boys" from this section who
attended the SD Regementsl reunion at
Cory last week, pronounce it decided
success, Notwithstanding the rather light
attendance, evidencing the rapid decima
ton of their ranks by old Father Time
The roll call showed representatives pres
ent from many sections, Warren, Titus
Vile, Erie, Tionests and other towns.
Out of the whole number that had been
members of the regiment but si6ty-six
are left, the records show. The distinc-
ton of having fought in two more regular
engagements than any other OF the Po-
tomac army belongs to this gallant regi-
ment, and but one, Rhode Island regi-
ment, claims to have lost more men in
action than the 83d, and they claim but
one more man. A fue dinner was served
to the mem bers at the State Armory, in
which the reunion was held. Charles
Himrod of Waterford was selected Presi-
dent, o. S. Kiner of Erie, Vice President
and DR.. l.. d. Rockwell of Union City,
Secretary and Treasurer. A committee
was appointed to discuss and ascertain
the feasibility of holding the reunion per-
msnently in Erie at the Sold iers home.

The Charter
Amendment

At a meeting between the city
council and the springs water COM
mittee at the city hall Friday night
it was agreed that the council would
call an election on the charter amend
ment at its meeting to be held tomor-
row night so that the election on the
commission would be held either on
the 18th or 23rd of June.
On account of legal irregularity
in the original call for the charter
amendment election, the council on
last Tuesday night rescinded its for
mer call. This necessitates the new
call and makes it impossible to hold
the charter amendment election on
the same date as the bond election.
However, the call will be made be-
fore the bonds are voted and the
charter amendment election creating
the commission will folio won the
above date.

What Papers Say
About Our Waters
Corvallis Daily Gazette.)

Upon returning to Corvallis after
a weekend lecture tour in southern
Oregon, Professor Horner said to a
Gazette-Times reporter: Ashland
seems destined to become the Sara
toga OF Oregon. Artesian springs
heavily charged with lithia, foaming
and bubbling like a bursted bottle of
soda pop, will in all probability be
conducted into the public park of
Ashland, which will be beautified and
improved at an immediate expense of
$4,000, if present plans consum-
mate. Indications are that the city
built where the pine and the palm
meet will become noted as health
resort"
