The newroad is to be 34 miles long and will extend from Hunts, a small station near Portage, in Livingston county, on the Buffalo division, to Cuba, on the main line. Between Hornellsvllle and Cuba there are two very heavy grades, each reaching about 50 feet to the mile, whiyh must be surmounted. The construction of t this short line will give a grade of two-tenths per cent, practically a water level route, as the grade of H»c Buffalo division from Hornellsvllle to Hunts exceeds that but little. The line is intended to be used chiefly for freight traffic and will add much to economy of operation by permitting heavier train loads and so utilising to the best advantage. the Improved rolling stock now rapidly being placed on the Erie. This new cutoff is supplemental to that which cuts out the heavy grades in the vicinity of .Mlddletown, where work on a double track freight line has already been begun, this improvement to be complotd at an estimated cost of $10,000,000.

H., Aug. 31.—It Is learned that the first proposition presented by Haron Komura at the last meeting of the peace conference involved the waiving of all indemnity provided the Japanese were allowed to retain the whole of Sakhalin, with the right to erect fortifications on Ln Perouse strait, which is the body of water between Sakhalin and Yezo.

If The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon from the home of his niece, at SOI South Main street, Wil« kesbarre, and interment will be made in Oaklawn cemetery. Accompanying a light rainstorm, last evening, in this auction, were winds that moved open doors and rattled windows. It was not what might be termed a high wind, but in Carbondale it reached the degree of a tornado, and considerable damage was done to property, though fortunately no * „ i • Fiala at ouco made It clear he would be glad to head another polar expedition, but he did not speak encouragingly of,the methods employed tip to this time in such exploration. He advanced the theory that success in that direction could be obtained only by the enlistment of a party willing to devote five years, or even ten, to the effort to discover the north pole. This proposition was declined by M. Wit to, and it was made a part of tlie record afterward that this strait should not be fortified. tm Public is Aroused, 'i:. Hp The public is aroused to a knowl edge of the curative merits of that great medicinal tonic, Electric Hitters, for sick stomach, liver and kidneys. Mary H. Walters, of 546 St. Clair Ave., Columbus, O., writes: "For several months, I was given up to die.

The storm came upon Carbondale from the west about 8:50, and swept a path two hundred feet wide. Its centre had the appearance of a funnel shaped cloud, not black, but luminous. There was no accompaniment of lightning, thunder or rain, and the stars were shining immediately before and after It passed. A peculiarity of its effects was that adjoining buildings were blown in diametrically opposite directions. Mrs. Owen" Loughney, a respefited resident of Browntown, died at noon today at her home in Browntown, after an Illness of several months. Mnny friends of the deceased mourn her passing away. She was a woman, of many good qualities. The deceased is survived by the following children: Michael, James, Martin and John. Mrs, Owen Ijoughney FRANK ROCKEFELLER, BROTHER OF THE STANDARD OIL MAGNATE. The explorer will have a conference with the son of William Ziegler, with that remarkable plan in view. The boy, who has not attained his majority, has said frequently since his father's death that lie intended to make polar exploration the study of his life and to exert every energy in the direction of carrying out the ambition of his parent. Me has full faith in Fiala. as his father had, and the probabilities are strong that young Ziegler will begin preparations for the lltting out of an expedition that will have the north pole or complete oblivion for its goal. John D. Rockefeller may own the Standard Oil and most everything else In sight, but Frank Rockefeller, n younger brother, is content to have it said that he owns the finest ranch in the world. This ranch consists of 14,000 acres situated In Kiowa county, western Kansas. On it lire situated steel barns, fine outhouses and a very palace of a ranch house. The place Is stocked with blooded cattle of the very bent breeds. In addition to these are thoroughbred horses, a herd of buffalo, elk, deer and even parrots and monkeys. Mr. Rockefeller Is so In love with his ranch that he lives there. President Hoosevelt will, it is exported, be here to witness the signing of the peace treaty, the consummation of the great work for which he has so strenuously and successfully labored. The matter is now the subject of correspondence with Oyster Bay, and, while the arrangement has not been made, those who are endeavoring to bring it about are certain that they will succeed. It hus been the subject of some discussion among yio Russians, who say that they would be glad to see the president here. Throe dwellings were totally deployed, ten were overturned or carried completely off their foundations, and fully llfly were more or less damaged.

They were returning to their home and had walked the path leading from Eckley to Foundryville, at which point they commenced walking the LCehigh Valley track. They had proceeded but a short distance when tliej* observed the approach of a coal train and stepped out of Its way. In doing so they stepped directly in the path of the passenger train running on tho adjoining track. Mrs. James Howells perceived her danger and lVaped out of the way, but her sister evidently became confused and bewildered and before she could recover herself and step out of the way she was run down and crushed beneath the wheels of the ponderous locomotive, her body being completely severed and most horribly mangled. Qulncy. Mass., Aug. 31.—In the presence of a large company of invited KDie*ts and ft l lg crowd of spectators the big battleship Vermont was successfully launched at the yard of the Fore Itiver Ship Building Co. here at 10:53 o'clock today. The new craft was christened by Miss Jennie Bell, the youngest daughter of Chas. Bell, the governor of Vermont.

The child was sleeping peacefully at noon today and apparently was not in a very serious condition. I)r. Byron, the attending physician, has not yet probed successfully for the bullet on account of its dangerous proximity to the heart. There is no certainty yet how the wound will terminate. reach a conclusion. This was the notification received from him by Secretary William Dettrey, and at the same time requesting a rehearing of The escapes of scores of persons was not short of providential. The most hazardous experience befell the family of William Pope, whose home Is at Forty-second and Greene streets. Mr. Pope had jtist returned homo from the night shift In the mines, and was about to wash himself when his wife cautioned him to put down a window as protection against the strong wind that was blowing. He had not secured the window when the tornado took the substantial dwelling in Its grasp, and, lifting it from Its foundation, carried it and hurled It with a mightily destructive force against the big dwelling owned by Mrs. Michael Clune, and tenanted by Patrick Cuff, located forty feet away. The fearful force of the elements shattered the house, so that it was not more than a mountain of kindling wood. M. tie Martens said that the clauses which had been agreed to required very little attention, except that a few details had to he added. He expected that the treaty would be ready for the lirst reading this evening, and he hoped that it would be read for the last time on Friday or Saturday morning. In order to avoid waste of time the envoys were being consulted when any little divergency arose, and everything was working most smoothly. There was no reason why the treaty should not be ready for signature next Monday or Tuesday. Mr. Dennison, however, said the preparation of the treaty might take a week. The question submitted to the umpire was that of a change in price of yardage. Home time ago the Scranton Coal Co., the Delaware & Hudson Coal Co. and the Lehigh Valley Coal Co. reduced the price paid for yardage, and immediately the miners filed objections. the ease Miss Hell. In christening the warship, used a bottle of champagne, which was broken uver the bow of the Vessel as the craft easily and gracefully started down the ways. "I believe an expedition has a poor chance of reaching the pole without a large party," sahl he. "This party must be composed of men willing to remain In that region for live or even ten years. It might be necessary to send other ships to act as stations. A great point toward success is the training of the men and dogs. Indeed the dogs are Invaluable, and in a large measure on them depends success. Without all these preparations one might as well try to sail the Atlantic without a rudder. Miss Hell was attended by Miss Mary Morse and Miss Virginia Perry, two school girl friends, as maids of The operators contend that conditions have changed, while the miners say that according to the Strike Commission's award there can be no change In the terms of the agreement. This seems to be the view of Umpire Neill; but in order to give both sides a chance he has requested a rehearing to more fully acquaint himself with the true situation. honor Governor Hell was accompanied from Vermont by his sta.'f and a large number of prominent people from William Savltsky is a boarder at tht'"h«Dme °f Puckavlch. Savltsky was the owner of a llobert rifle and last that state evenln he took it to the porch to clean it. The Puckavirh child was playing only a short distance away from where Navitskv was .sitting. Savltsky, who thought the gun was not loaded, during the cleaning process raised the hammer and while he was Governor Douglas and staff met Governor Bell and other Vermont guests in Boston and the entire party came hero on a special train this morning. Others who accompanied them were Assistant Secretary of the Navy Darling. Commander A. G. Boutakoff, Russian naval attache, Washington; Mayor Thompson, of Qulncy, several New England congressmen, \V. S. Dark and W. L. Balslnger, of the Carnegie Steel Co., and President Grieve, of the William Cramp and Sous Ship Building Co. President Dettrey said that he did not believe the umpire would ever be able to decide the question other than in favor of the miners, as the terms are plain there could be no mistaking them.

"It all happened so quickly," said Mr. Pope, "that I can't remember much about it. All I thought of was our babes. There was nothing left of the house. I made my way over to what I thought was their room, and had to pull away a pile of boards before X got them. I never dreamed they would be alive, but thank God, they were all right. The bed was turned upside down and they were wrapped up in the bedclothes. No, they were hardly awake, but were stirring as if something was bothering them. They weren't hurt much. There is the youngest one there," he said, pointing to a vigorous boy baby that nestled in the arms of his almost prestrated mother. John Lucco, aged 27 years, of Stockton, met with an accident on the Lehigh Valley railroad near the lumber yard, Hazleton, last evening, which resulted in his death while he was being taken to the State hospital. Lucco attempted to board a rapidly moving freight train, which was fn charge of Engineer Derr and Conductor SeHvell. He made a misstep and was thrown under the train. A Few Camillas Hints. It is surely worth while to can rhubarb and pineapples for winter use. The former should be cut into inch pieces and not peeled, for the red skin will impart a beautiful color to the syrup. Pineapple should be peeled and the pieces picked out with a fork, which eliminates the tough core, which in sliced pineapple is retained. Pears and peaches should be peeled, halved and seeded; apples the same or even quartered. Plums aaid cherries may be stoned or not; the pits left with the fruit impart a peculiar bitter llavor which to me is delightful.Safe Mysteriously Disappears, If the treaty is concluded iu time to permit of it the Uussian and Japanese envoys anil their suits will make a trip to the White mountains as the guests of Governor McLane and the state of New Hampshire.

Stamford, Conn., Aug. 31.—A steel safe of considerable weight, which is understood to have eontaiired $150 in cash and jewelry valued at more than $20,0tHD, mysteriously disappeared from the summer residence of l'aul Bonnet at Nirvflna-on-tho-SoUnd, near Sound Beach. The family believes that burglars entered the house through a window on the lower floor and carried the safe down a tilnht of stairs and out on the lawn, where a vehicle was waiting to take it to the shore to be placed aboard a vessel.

The peace plenipotentiaries are In a very anomalous position, while the outside world applauds. In Japan there is evidently great disappointment in the terms, and in Kussia, where it would seem that there should be universal rejoicing over the great diplomatic victory M. Witte has won, the government seems to have received it coldly. With the people it will make M. Witte a great and popular figure and add to his laurels, but at court evidently the very victory M. Witte has achieved makes it all the more bitterly resented. Canned berries require to be just ripe and thoroughly sound; it is useless to waste time upon soft, poor fruit.

The glad tidings of the lease of the Evans colliery, at Beaver Meadow, was received with the greatest of enthusiasm by the people of that place yesterday. It hag been leased to Mc- Clellan & Co., of Avoca, and the deal was negotiated by William H. Wear, of North Vine street. A few weeks ago* the Reeder estate, of Kaston, which owns the land upon which the colliery is situated, arranged with Mr. Wear to either sell or lease the colliery. He at once began to negotiate with several prospective purchasers and gave McClellan & Co. a 30 days' verbal option on the property.

The newroad is to be 34 miles long and will extend from Hunts, a small station near Portage, in Livingston county, on the Buffalo division, to Cuba, on the main line. Between Hornellsvllle and Cuba there are two very heavy grades, each reaching about 50 feet to the mile, whiyh must be surmounted. The construction of t this short line will give a grade of two-tenths per cent, practically a water level route, as the grade of H»c Buffalo division from Hornellsvllle to Hunts exceeds that but little. The line is intended to be used chiefly for freight traffic and will add much to economy of operation by permitting heavier train loads and so utilising to the best advantage. the Improved rolling stock now rapidly being placed on the Erie. This new cutoff is supplemental to that which cuts out the heavy grades in the vicinity of .Mlddletown, where work on a double track freight line has already been begun, this improvement to be complotd at an estimated cost of $10,000,000.

H., Aug. 31.—It Is learned that the first proposition presented by Haron Komura at the last meeting of the peace conference involved the waiving of all indemnity provided the Japanese were allowed to retain the whole of Sakhalin, with the right to erect fortifications on Ln Perouse strait, which is the body of water between Sakhalin and Yezo.

Accompanying a light rainstorm, last evening, in this auction, were winds that moved open doors and rattled windows. It was not what might be termed a high wind, but in Carbondale it reached the degree of a tornado, and considerable damage was done to property, though fortunately no * „ i • Fiala at ouco made It clear he would be glad to head another polar expedition, but he did not speak encouragingly of,the methods employed tip to this time in such exploration. He advanced the theory that success in that direction could be obtained only by the enlistment of a party willing to devote five years, or even ten, to the effort to discover the north pole. This proposition was declined by M. Wit to, and it was made a part of tlie record afterward that this strait should not be fortified. tm Public is Aroused, 'i:.

The storm came upon Carbondale from the west about 8:50, and swept a path two hundred feet wide. Its centre had the appearance of a funnel shaped cloud, not black, but luminous. There was no accompaniment of lightning, thunder or rain, and the stars were shining immediately before and after It passed. A peculiarity of its effects was that adjoining buildings were blown in diametrically opposite directions. Mrs. Owen" Loughney, a respefited resident of Browntown, died at noon today at her home in Browntown, after an Illness of several months. Mnny friends of the deceased mourn her passing away. She was a woman, of many good qualities. The deceased is survived by the following children: Michael, James, Martin and John. Mrs, Owen Ijoughney FRANK ROCKEFELLER, BROTHER OF THE STANDARD OIL MAGNATE. The explorer will have a conference with the son of William Ziegler, with that remarkable plan in view. The boy, who has not attained his majority, has said frequently since his father's death that lie intended to make polar exploration the study of his life and to exert every energy in the direction of carrying out the ambition of his parent. Me has full faith in Fiala. as his father had, and the probabilities are strong that young Ziegler will begin preparations for the lltting out of an expedition that will have the north pole or complete oblivion for its goal. John D. Rockefeller may own the Standard Oil and most everything else In sight, but Frank Rockefeller, n younger brother, is content to have it said that he owns the finest ranch in the world. This ranch consists of 14,000 acres situated In Kiowa county, western Kansas. On it lire situated steel barns, fine outhouses and a very palace of a ranch house. The place Is stocked with blooded cattle of the very bent breeds. In addition to these are thoroughbred horses, a herd of buffalo, elk, deer and even parrots and monkeys. Mr. Rockefeller Is so In love with his ranch that he lives there. President Hoosevelt will, it is exported, be here to witness the signing of the peace treaty, the consummation of the great work for which he has so strenuously and successfully labored. The matter is now the subject of correspondence with Oyster Bay, and, while the arrangement has not been made, those who are endeavoring to bring it about are certain that they will succeed. It hus been the subject of some discussion among yio Russians, who say that they would be glad to see the president here. Throe dwellings were totally deployed, ten were overturned or carried completely off their foundations, and fully llfly were more or less damaged.

They were returning to their home and had walked the path leading from Eckley to Foundryville, at which point they commenced walking the LCehigh Valley track. They had proceeded but a short distance when tliej* observed the approach of a coal train and stepped out of Its way. In doing so they stepped directly in the path of the passenger train running on tho adjoining track. Mrs. James Howells perceived her danger and lVaped out of the way, but her sister evidently became confused and bewildered and before she could recover herself and step out of the way she was run down and crushed beneath the wheels of the ponderous locomotive, her body being completely severed and most horribly mangled. Qulncy. Mass., Aug. 31.—In the presence of a large company of invited KDie*ts and ft l lg crowd of spectators the big battleship Vermont was successfully launched at the yard of the Fore Itiver Ship Building Co. here at 10:53 o'clock today.

Byron, the attending physician, has not yet probed successfully for the bullet on account of its dangerous proximity to the heart. There is no certainty yet how the wound will terminate. reach a conclusion. This was the notification received from him by Secretary William Dettrey, and at the same time requesting a rehearing of The escapes of scores of persons was not short of providential. The most hazardous experience befell the family of William Pope, whose home Is at Forty-second and Greene streets. Mr. Pope had jtist returned homo from the night shift In the mines, and was about to wash himself when his wife cautioned him to put down a window as protection against the strong wind that was blowing. He had not secured the window when the tornado took the substantial dwelling in Its grasp, and, lifting it from Its foundation, carried it and hurled It with a mightily destructive force against the big dwelling owned by Mrs. Michael Clune, and tenanted by Patrick Cuff, located forty feet away. The fearful force of the elements shattered the house, so that it was not more than a mountain of kindling wood. M. tie Martens said that the clauses which had been agreed to required very little attention, except that a few details had to he added. He expected that the treaty would be ready for the lirst reading this evening, and he hoped that it would be read for the last time on Friday or Saturday morning. In order to avoid waste of time the envoys were being consulted when any little divergency arose, and everything was working most smoothly. There was no reason why the treaty should not be ready for signature next Monday or Tuesday. Mr. Dennison, however, said the preparation of the treaty might take a week. The question submitted to the umpire was that of a change in price of yardage. Home time ago the Scranton Coal Co., the Delaware & Hudson Coal Co. and the Lehigh Valley Coal Co. reduced the price paid for yardage, and immediately the miners filed objections. the ease Miss Hell. In christening the warship, used a bottle of champagne, which was broken uver the bow of the Vessel as the craft easily and gracefully started down the ways. "I believe an expedition has a poor chance of reaching the pole without a large party," sahl he. "This party must be composed of men willing to remain In that region for live or even ten years. It might be necessary to send other ships to act as stations. A great point toward success is the training of the men and dogs. Indeed the dogs are Invaluable, and in a large measure on them depends success. Without all these preparations one might as well try to sail the Atlantic without a rudder. Miss Hell was attended by Miss Mary Morse and Miss Virginia Perry, two school girl friends, as maids of The operators contend that conditions have changed, while the miners say that according to the Strike Commission's award there can be no change In the terms of the agreement. This seems to be the view of Umpire Neill; but in order to give both sides a chance he has requested a rehearing to more fully acquaint himself with the true situation. honor Governor Hell was accompanied from Vermont by his sta.'f and a large number of prominent people from William Savltsky is a boarder at tht'"h«Dme °f Puckavlch. Savltsky was the owner of a llobert rifle and last that state evenln he took it to the porch to clean it. The Puckavirh child was playing only a short distance away from where Navitskv was .sitting. Savltsky, who thought the gun was not loaded, during the cleaning process raised the hammer and while he was Governor Douglas and staff met Governor Bell and other Vermont guests in Boston and the entire party came hero on a special train this morning. Others who accompanied them were Assistant Secretary of the Navy Darling. Commander A. G. Boutakoff, Russian naval attache, Washington; Mayor Thompson, of Qulncy, several New England congressmen, \V. S. Dark and W. L. Balslnger, of the Carnegie Steel Co., and President Grieve, of the William Cramp and Sous Ship Building Co.

"It all happened so quickly," said Mr. Pope, "that I can't remember much about it. All I thought of was our babes. There was nothing left of the house. I made my way over to what I thought was their room, and had to pull away a pile of boards before X got them. I never dreamed they would be alive, but thank God, they were all right. The bed was turned upside down and they were wrapped up in the bedclothes. No, they were hardly awake, but were stirring as if something was bothering them. They weren't hurt much.

It is surely worth while to can rhubarb and pineapples for winter use. The former should be cut into inch pieces and not peeled, for the red skin will impart a beautiful color to the syrup. Pineapple should be peeled and the pieces picked out with a fork, which eliminates the tough core, which in sliced pineapple is retained. Pears and peaches should be peeled, halved and seeded; apples the same or even quartered. Plums aaid cherries may be stoned or not; the pits left with the fruit impart a peculiar bitter llavor which to me is delightful.Safe Mysteriously Disappears, If the treaty is concluded iu time to permit of it the Uussian and Japanese envoys anil their suits will make a trip to the White mountains as the guests of Governor McLane and the state of New Hampshire.

The family believes that burglars entered the house through a window on the lower floor and carried the safe down a tilnht of stairs and out on the lawn, where a vehicle was waiting to take it to the shore to be placed aboard a vessel.

Witte has won, the government seems to have received it coldly. With the people it will make M. Witte a great and popular figure and add to his laurels, but at court evidently the very victory M. Witte has achieved makes it all the more bitterly resented. Canned berries require to be just ripe and thoroughly sound; it is useless to waste time upon soft, poor fruit.
