Our valuable exchange, the New Castle Guardian, is in error in its report of the mine boss examinations held at Mercer recently. Instead of six successful applicants from Lawrence county, there was but Roys, Rock Point. Mr. Roys passed the mine boss examination and hence is not mine inspector. The "instructions issued by the examining committee" are nothing more or less than comments made by the ADVANCE ARGUS of Feb.

(Continued on page 8). ADVANCE ARGUS, FEBRUARY 25.1892. Sandy Burglars made their appearance at Sandy Lake, Monday night.

The Sandy Lake Bank was broken into, but their knowledge of safe-cracking was so limited that they utterly failed to open the safe. The store of G. W. Worrell, clothier, was entered and between $35 and $40 secured. Alter completing their labors the crooks went to Franklin on a stolen hand-car.

No Town Hull In Theirs. Now that the smoke of battle has rolled away, the result of the late strife in West Salem is known. For some time, the advisability of building a town hall has been discussed pro and con, and at the election last Tuesday the question was submitted to the people focX decision. As the probable locatioXof the town hall would be at the idea was not popular with the east side of the township. The vote on the west side was 36 for and 24 against; and on the east side, 3 for and no against.

It doesn't look much like a town hall. Change of Firms. The sale of Caldwell's drug store, corner Main and Mercer streets, is contemplated by the proprietor, John L. CalcUvell. The probable purchaser is Dr.

DAVIS, Teacher. To County W. C. T. V.

Dear Sisters: have been wa iting for State minutes so as to find just what was required of us this year before writing to you. But as I read Treasurer's report since Annual Meeting and found that there was not money enough in the Treasury to pay for publishing minutes. I decided to write immediately and ask for at least part of state and county dues. Greenville Y. sent i for county dues, soon after convention.

Fredonia sent $5 dues and 2 for Mrs. Grubb, Nat. Supt, which I forwarded to her at once and received her thanks. Sharon has paid for twenty-five members, Pardoe $4.80, and that is all. Many Co.

Supt. have not received postage yet. We owe 2 yet on the $100 promised for the Temperance Temple. Will not some union which has not contributed any for that purpose send me that amount? Grove City W's and Y's have paid over one-third the whole amount. We do hope each union will carry out Miss Esther Pugh's suggestion in last Signal to secure new members and to collect the dues from all those you have enrolled.

Dp not wait until August or September. Do it now. You will all want to attend State Convention at New Castle; next Oct. Hoping for a speedy reponse from each union, I close. MRS.

Mr. Artman also takes care of the live stock and does the chores. His wife is 80 years of age and requires no assistance in the management and care of the household.

WILLIAM CALDWELL of Sandycreek township, died Thursday, February 18, and was buried by Elijah Thompson Post, Department of Pa, G. A. of which he was an honored member. Rev. Swigert, the Chaplain, officiated.

Comrade Caldwell was about 60 years of age, and one of the most faithful members of the Post, in which he held the office of Quartermaster Sergeant. He enlisted in the MS'h Colonel Slau- decker's regiment. One by one the old veterans are passing away. This is the first death in that Post since its organization, about eight years ago. LAST Wednesday morning, at her home near Fredonia, Mrs.

Daniel Bower, died of a complication of diseases, aged 55 years and days. Mrs. Bower was the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Moyer, and was married to Mr.

Bower shortly after his return from the war. She was a devoted wife and mother; her home was always happy. She was a member of the St. John's German Reformed Church during the greater part of her lifetime; very sincere in all her duties, and a regular communicant. She leaves a bereaved husband, son and daughter to mourn her departure.

The funeral took place last Sabbath at 10 o'clock; interment in the Delaware cemetery. RACHEL whose death was noted last week, was born July 6, 1807, on a part of the farm where she resided all her life. January 1828, she married Francis Trunkey. Of this union several children were born: John, at one time President Judge of Mercer county, and later an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of this State Charles, Ursula, Francis, Orilla, Cyrus and' George. Six of the children arrived at maturity, and all but preceded the mother to the, "land of pure delight." Her husband died August 1875.

Three grandchildren are living. Mrs. Trunkey professed her faith in the Savior at an early age, and lived and died a consistent Christian, in the full hope she had so early espoused. Though deprived of her eyesight several years ago, and ten months ago stricken with paralysis, rendering her completely helpless, she endured the suffering patiently and without complaint. The only surviving child, Miss Orilla, assisted often by Mrs.

John Trunkey, was her constant companion, nurse, and everything that any one person could be; never seeming to tire in caring for the aged mother in her afflicted old age. Continued on page 8). the statement that on the ist of May the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will establish an express company of its own, connecting with the Southern Express Company, is still going the rounds. Late Pennsylvania railroad advertisements in the New York papers contain, in addition to the usual words, "The standard railway of America," this clause "protected throughout by block signals and automatic switches." The P. R.

evidently has the recent New York Central accidents in view. CLINTON AIR LINE REMINISCENCE. The death of David Pollock, West Farmington, which occurred about two weeks ago, brings to mind his connection with the New York and Ohio (Clinton Air Line). Mr. Pollock came from Glasgow when 30 years old and settled at Kinsman.

When the Clinton Air Line pioject was inaugurated Mr. Pollock took worth of sub-contracts, all of which he lost in the ill-fated road that promised to work such wonders for Greenville and towns over the Buckeye line. Though he lost all his possessions in the collapse of the road, he began life anew and with some as- sistance'purchased a farm near this place This he occupied until the death of his wife about three years ago.

CHASE ELECTED DELEGATE. The Seneca Division, Ticket and Station Agents' Association, met at Corry, last Friday. Greenville was represented by Day Operator Hall, of the Erie. A. M.

Chase, Erie agent at Shenango, was elected a delegate to the national association meeting, which will occur at Jacksonville, Florida, the coming spring. THE ERIE'S NEW SIGNAL SYSTEM. A second semaphore signal has been placed at the Erie (Nypano) station, here. The new semaphores and block towers along the line are now about completed and the new signal system will be given a trial in a few days. The system, which is the work of A.

M. Mozier, Nypano Superintendent of Transportation, is a peculiar one. The Nypano division of the Erie has been divided into five sub-divisions, with two dispatchers for each sub-division. Tin; subdivisions are again divided, giving a half of a sub-divison to each dispatcher, Greenville is in the sub-division extending from Johnson's (near Cortland) to Meadville. Two dispatchers will be located at the former place.

Each block (or the section of road between each station) is from two to eight miles in length and each station is a block station. No train will be allowed to enter a block while the block is occupied by a passenger train. Second-class and extra freight trains may be allowed, under direction of train dispatcher, to follow each other five minutes apart, with the semaphores indicating In the same manner passenger trains may follow freight trains, ten minutes. As noted in a previous issue, the signal is kept at danger unless ordered to the contrary. In common with others on the line, the two semaphores at Greenville are so arranged that while the signals are at any other position than danger, all wires running into the station are cut off, so that an operator can not do any business until it is released.

This tends to decrease the possibility of danger, but like all other automatic- appliances, may be defeated, if the opera torso desires. An examination of this system plainly shows that it is a complicated improvement on the old plan, but as train dispatchers will still control the movement of trains, it bears no great similarity to the block system proper. It is rather a more effective distribution of dispatchers, relieving the over-burdened central offices. It is now in operation between Gallion and Kent and has proved a success. HOW CORRECT TlMti IS OHTAINEI).

Tuesday, the new time service of tin: S. Si L. E. was inaugurated. In our previous explanation of the system, we stated that there would be two "master" clocks, one at the Western Union office and the other at the Shenango Route Dispatcher's ofTice.

The two master clocks were sent here, but an electrician oi the Western Union company, who was in town a few days pronounced one of the clocks defective. A change, therefore, has been made in the original plan and there will be but one master clock. This clock is located in the Dispatcher's office. It is a large, handsome Highest of all in Leavening U. S.

Gov't Report Baking Powder ABSOUSTELY PURE clock and is, of course, a very accurate piece of machinery. In circuit with this clock are ing station clocks located at Erie, Girard, Albion, Conneautvillu, Meadville, Hartstown, Meadville Junction, Greenville, Shenango, Fredonia, Mercer, Pardoe, Grove City, Bianchton and Euclid. At 12:58 p. m. each day, the master clock beats seconds until 1:01 p.

omitting the 29111, 55th. 5 6th, 57 th and 591!) seconds of each minute. Operators at those stations where synchronizing clocks are located, must "cut in" the clocks at 12:59 and 56 seconds and cut them out as soon as the one o'clock beat is given. Correct and uniform time is thereby insured. It will be appreciated by the public both as an enterprise and as a safety measure.

The town synchronizing clocks are connected by wire with the master clock and are corrected every hour of the day. Greenville, therefore, has time service as near perfection as could be desired, and the system, with its automatic winding and setting, is a triumph of mechanical and electrical skill. In Mt'morlnni. Resolutions by the session of the U. P.

Church of Greenville, Pa. WHEREAS it has pleased Almighty God in his infinite wisdom, to remove from our midst, on the izth day of Feb. 1892, our beloved brother J. C.

Second, that while keenly leel our Celebration Wnaliington'M The celebration of the birthday of the Father ol his Country, last Monday, drew to the Opera House such a crowd as was rarely if ever seen there before. Stantf- ing room was at a premium, while opera hats and tall people made glimpses of the stage very precious to those in the rear of the house. In spite of the crush, the order was fairly good. As for the exercises, the Jr. O.

U. A. and Prot Morris deserve great credit, The tenor of the whole performance was American; every utterance was patriotic, and through it all was heard the name of "George Washington." The singing by the chorus of children was excellent and showed good training. Altogether tbe celebration was a success, and one that the people of Greenville may be proud of. The school children can fiord to learn more and more about Washington, That purer study ot Webster, Lincoln and Grant.
