BUSY AS A BEAVF.U.— Neighbor
Frank K ister is at it hard and heavy tuc
king about the neatest and best dress
shoes ever seen in this section. Frank
is an expert in the business, has lots of

R. Ti. ACCIDENT.— There was a
considerable wreck at Coburn station
last. Saturday. The morning train ar
riving at that station at about 7 o'clock,
A. M. consisted of three truck cars,
loaded with prop timber, in front of
the engine and several freight cars bo
hind. The intention was to get the
truck cars also behind the locomotive
by running them on the main track for
which purpose they pulled down below
the switch at Kerstetter's. Starting
backwards from tlvrc at a rapid rate
the trucks were detached from the en
gine, which ran on the sidetrack. The
rails being cold and slippy the engine
was thrown off, only one of the wheels (
remaining on the track. It plowed its
way letween and oil the ties from the
cut up to Perry Stover's grain house
when the three trucks instead of being
on the main track fallowed the engine
and run with great force into the
same, caving in and demolishing tho
front part completely. The collision
threw the cars crosswise on the tracks
making pieces of the rails and ties. As
far as we can learn no persm was hurt
seriously. A wreck tram was sent for
at once and arrived on Saturday eve
ning, when the road was repaired and
cleared for the pa>sge of regular
trains.

A Fight Led by Rival Saloen-
Keepers.
CINCINNATI, November 22.— A two
days' battle between two faeitons of
countrymen, led by rival saloon-ktep
ers, has just ended at Fisher's station,
Indiana. The tight continued night
and day, stones, pistols, knives and
pool balls were freely used and benja
min Couch was beaten to death by
Hump West, a saloon-keeper. West
was afterwaid beaten to a pulp and
Andy Farn-11, a saloon-kecder, was
horribly mangled. Thirty-two others
werejwounded, some fatally. One man
was f y&nd in the woods at midnight,
dead. There is a reign of terror in
town and a Sheriff's posse found Far
rell, bloodstained beyond recognition,
patrolling the street in front of his sa
loou armed with a gun.
A FRIGHTFUL FALL.
Five years ago, at the age of 20 years,
11. M. Zern, a native of Laurolton,
Union county. Pen O'H., went we<t to
seek his fortune in the mining regions
Colorado: lie an I his partner, Jay
Craft, were working a claim called the
Shamokiu Lode on Slate mountain,
near its summi f . They had nearly
completed their contract and were pre
paring to leave foi the winter and
return to Pennsylvania. In going to
and from their cabin to the tunnel they
had to go along a narrow path that
was cut out and wonn l up along th
side of the mountain. At 0:10 place
the path was particularly dangerous,
being only IS incurs \vi le an 1 notched
so as to afford foothold. On one side
was the precipitous m mntain and 011
the other a frightful declivity of 180 )
or 200J feet. There had boon a crust
of snow for a week or so about the
summit of the mountain, making it
very dangerous to walk the path. 111
going along the narrow and dangerous
defile Zorn missed his footing and
went over. 110 tried to grasp at some
thing but couldn't, and he continued
his fall for ISOO or 2000 feet till he
reached the foot of the mountain, dead
and crushed almost out of human
shape. Mr. Craft c >uld lend n > help
and could only stand and gaze with
terror upon the horrid spectacle.—
Selinsgrovc limes.
Dr. Rothrock of Middleburg testifi
ed that he believed that Emanuel Et
tinger died from the effects of a dose
of poison, aud the commissioners had
him dug out last weak and his stom
ach taken out for analysis. The ol ject
we understand is, if he committed
suicide, to invalidate his conf e ssion ae
evidence before the board of paidons.
DAVID HTJMMEL, of Orwigsburg,
Schuylkill county, left his home on
Sunday, and not returning friends
went in search of him. He was found
in a dying condition on the mountain,
and is believed to have been waylaid
and robbed.
STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS.— Mr.
John D. Squires, of Lewisburg, was
recently stricken with paralysis at
Mahanoy City, where he wis visiting,
lie is in a very critical condition. The
case is a peculiar one, as Mr, Squires
is a young man .
Burglaries and robberies are of daily
occurrence in the towns and rural
districts of central Pennsylvana. It is
the duty of the citizens to keep a close
watch 011 all strangers who appear to
be with out any particular business and
it should all tlio time he borne in mind
that an easy address and good clothes
are no guarantee of h J nasty.
Put from off your feet thin shoes for
the ground is d imp and has toothache,
neuralgia sore throat and other kindred
diseases in it, sufficient to penetrate a

THE Kintzler murderers have been
respited by Governor Hoyt so that
their cases can come up before the
Board of Pardons next month. If they
then fail to get commutation of sen
tence to imprisonment for life the Gov
ernor will then select a final day for
their execution.
