Extension Opened. The N. Y. & Pa. Railroad Open From Shingle House to Ceres. CERES, Dec. 10. -- The extension of the New York & Pennsylvania Railroad from Shingle House to Ceres, five miles, was opened for traffic yesterday, giving the New York & Pennsylvania a through line from Canisteo to Ceres, 57 miles. At Canisteo the New York & Pennsylvania connects with the Pittsburg, Shawmut & Northern, making a valuable feeder for both the Erie and Shawmut lines. During the last two years a large number of manufacturing plants have located in the Oswayo valley along the line of the New York & Pennsylvania for the purpose of working up the hardwood forests that cover the hills. At Shingle House, which is located in the famous Potter county gas belt, one of the largest glass plants in the world is building. The plant covers nine acres and will use 1,000,000 feet of gas a day. Natural gas is furnished to the plant the first year at 3 cents per 1,000, and the 10-year contract calls for gas at an average price of about 6 cents. An unlimited about of glass rock that is 92 per cent silica lies a few miles out of Shingle House on one of the hills.

He was alone at the time and no one knew of his pitiful condition until he hobbled to the home of a neighbor some distance down The road, the next day.

His daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Flint of Hornell, accompanied by his son George of Scranton, Pa., arrived in town, Thursday, to care for him. Monday, it was decided to take him to his daughter's home at Hornell and in the afternoon the trip was made in M. W. Reynolds' car, and although he seemed to stand the trip well, he was entirely helpless and had to be carried into the house. His son John of Corning came Monday, but returned to his home Tuesday. A card received form Mrs. Flint yesterday, says Mr. Wilson is no worse. Mr. Wilson has always been a big hearted, jolly man, liked by young and old, and everywhere one hears but the expressions of hope that he may in time fully recover.

Pall-like, clothe thy stricken heart,
And the very stars above thee
Cease their lessons to impart,
Think the dear one, whose departure
Round they soul such darkness cast,
Somewhere finds the Heavenly morning
That may rise on thee at last.
For, there is still a sunrise somewhere,
Speeding, speeding, round the world.
Card of Thanks We wish to thank our many friends for teh beautiful flowers and their kind assistance. Mr. V. E. Heselton. Mr. and Mrs. Howard H. Stephens. Mr. and Mrs. Clyde C. Heselton.

The two men, at the time, were working nearby on top of what is termed by plant officials, as the “No. 1” boiler. Although badly burned and suffering from intense pain, they made their way down to the floor of the boiler house and were rushed to the Jones Memorial hospital by a fellow workman.

Mr. Allen was born in Wellsville forty-three years ago. He moved to this village from Hornell about ten years ago and had been engaged in the Harness making and Shoe repairing business since. The body was accompanied from Bradford to Wellsville by the following friends: R. I. HALL, Mr. and Mrs. Irving HALL, Duke Center; Mr. Jas. FEE, Max FEE, Bradford; George ALLEN of Rixford; Mr. and Mrs. Stanton TOWNSEND of Friendship. the funeral party was met in Wellsville by K. 0. T. M. Rebekah and Odd fellow lodges of that place, also a delegated from this place. Mr. ALLEN was deeply grateful to his Whitesville brothers for the many kindnesses extended during his illness. He was particularly fond of the following verses:

Handle him tenderly
And lay him to rest,
Happy he numbers now
One of the Blest.

Sadly my heart doth ache
Seeing him go;
My only comfort is,
God willed it so.

Woman, Who Cut Throat With Razor, Finally Dies. Canisteo, Dec. 23. -- Mrs. Grace A. Wallace, 30 years old, who slashed herself across the throat with a razor more than three weeks ago, died at four o'clock this morning at her home No. 5 Jackson street, this morning. Mrs. Wallace suffered a nervous breakdown some time ago and was a patient in the Saint James Mercy hospital at Hornell for a while. She appeared to have recovered physically but her mental condition remained impaired and one night, while her husband was sleeping, she arose and went into the kitchen where she committed the rash act before anyone was aware of what she was doing. Her husband was awakened by the noise she made as she fell and surgeons were immediately summoned. An examination declosed (sic) the fact that in slashing her throat she had severed the windpipe; also the esophagus and tongue. There was no hope for her from the first, but nevertheless she waged a brave, but losing fight. Besides her husband, Lee Wallace, she is survived by two sons, Donald and James Wallace at home, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Bettinger and three sisters and one brother, Mrs. Earl Vanderhoef, Mrs. Phillip Besse, Mrs. Clayton House and Lyle Bettinger, all of Canisteo. She was born in Canisteo and lived here and in West Union all her life. She was a member of the Baptist church, Iola Rebekah lodge and also the Philathea class of the Baptist Sunday school. The funeral will be held at the house Friday afternoon at two o'clock and the Rev. J. T. Jones, pastor of the Baptist church, will officiate. Burial in Woodlawn cemetery.

FINE GIFT TO BIBLE SCHOOL Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Wildman Have Presented Piano to Methodist Episcopal Bible School. One of the really splendid gifts, which the Methodist Bible School has received lately is the Linderman & Sons grand piano which Mr. and Mrs. Leon H. Wildman have just presented. the instrument which was formerly the property of Mr. and Mrs. George Bell Herrick, ardent workers in this church is a splendid one. Following their deaths the piano became the property of the donors. It is well preserved and a fine musical instrument which the Sunday School most thoroughly appreciates.
Card of Thanks In behalf of the Methodist Episcopal Bible School we tender our grateful appreciation to Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Wildman for their splendid gift to this organization. Rev. C. W. Tyler, pastor, J. A. Crittenden, Supt.

There is Much Speculation as To Who the Next Postmaster Will Be. It became known Monday morning that Postmaster E. E. Slade had tendered his resignation as postmaster General, to take effect as soon as possible. Mr. Slade being a druggist by profession has accepted a lucrative position with a drug firm at Naples, N. Y., which accounts for his resignation. He became postmaster at this place Feb 7, 1912. His father B. B. Slade, had been postmaster for 14 years previous to that date. During his father's declining years, Mr. Slade was acting postmaster and was one of the most efficient men connected with the postal service. While it may be three months before a successor gets the commission, Mr. Slade intends to leave next week for his new position, the office to be left in charge of a temporary postmaster. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Slade are very sorry to have them leave this town. Both are prominent in social circles and will be greatly missed. Of course the all important question at the present time is: who will get the postermastership? Although this is a fourth-class office and the next postmaster will have to be one of three certified by the civil service commission, it is quite well understood that it will be a Democrat in line with the established custom of patronage. Those, who are said to be candidates to take the examination are L. H. Fortner, E. S. Batterson, Mrs. P. K. Millspaugh, and Mrs. Coykendall, all of whom have Democratic tendencies. There are Republicans too who are thinking of taking the examination, as politics has nothing to do with the civil service. The News is authorized to state that Editor Peet is not a candidate for the appointment, although there is a rumor to that effect. The editor appreciates the kind spirit which has prompted the suggestion, but feels that to try out for the appointment would not be in line with his future plans. The friendly competition between the prospective candidates goes merrily on, and no matter who gets the appointment we are sure that everyone will be satisfied, even those who are not successful.

SUSIE HALL BARNEY Following an illness of about seven days of pneumonia, Mrs. Delwin C. BARNEY of West Union passed peacefully over the great unknown divide, Sunday afternoon at about six o'clock aged 61 years. SUSIE HALL BARNEY was born at Hallsport, and died at the farm home in West Union. She was educated at Andover and Alfred developing an artistic nature of splendid fineness she produced a number of very fine oil paintings and taught successfully for about three years following which she was united in marriage to Delwin C. BARNEY on Jan. 4th, 1885. They reared a fine family of six children, two daughters, Mrs. P. S. COATS of this village and Mrs. Lee HESELTON of Paynesville, also four sons, Mason and Harry of Palmetto, Fla., Milan at home and Howard H., of this village. Mrs. BARNEY was an active member of the Mary A. Livermore Suffrage Club taking great pride in the work accomplished in this organization untill it realized its goal and became the present Woman's Civic Club and her interest continued to help in making the new organization a success. Her work as Secretary of the Whitesville High School Board extending over a number of years was of the highest order. It was probably in a measure due to her untiring vigil at the bedside of her stricken brother-in-law, George D. BARNEY, whom she tenderly cared for during his illness which terminated fatally six days previous to her own death, that so drew upon her vitality as to render her unable to rally when stricken. Being a woman of rare tact and good judgment she reached a place of high position and responsibility in the home town. She was never heard to speak ill of her associates. She was also a member of the Sawyer Woman's Relief Corps. While the passing over the borderland is a staggering blow to the entire family it perhaps falls heaviest on her aged aunt, Mrs. Fanny HESSELTINE who looked to her for aid and comfort in her declining years. The loss to the family is so stunning that as yet the full meaning of her loss can scarcely be realized. The funeral was held from the late home, yesterday, Wednesday, at 11 terday (sic), Wednesday, May 31st, at 11 a.m., Rev. J. D. HERRICK of Towanda, Pa., officiating and interment in the family plot in Rural Cemetery. Mrs. BARNEY was the last member of the Hall family. In its time of sorrow the family has the deep sympathy of a host of friends.
