——
ADDITIONAL LOCALS.
KiLLeD BY A LocoMorive.—Captain
Henry Grow, of Cooper township,
Clearfield county, was struck by a loco-
motive and killed early last Friday
morning while walking on the railroad
just below Philipsburg. In giving the
prriicalars of the sad accident the Ledg-
er of that place says: Captain Grow
had Leen in town Thursday all day, and
people who saw him, say he seemed to
be mclancholy and demented. Where
he had been all night, no one knows,
but it is probable that he was wander-
ing shout. The train that killed him
was {he early passenger train going
down on the Beech Creek railroad.
Engineer Ben Swartz says that he saw
him walking up the railroad as his train
was approaching the Beaver Run bridge
opposite Pt. Lookout. He whistled, and
the captain stepped off the track on to
the path and came on. Just as the en-
gine ran on to the bridge, which is a
small one, he suddenly stepped on the
track again in front of the engine, which
struck him and threw him down over
the embankment. The train stopped
and the train crew carried the wounded
man up the embankment, put him in
the baggage car and brought him back
to the Beech Creek station. He was
living when he was picked up, but died
a few moments before the train reached
the station. His injuries were chiefly
about his head and shoulders, although
his left leg was broken. He was not
mangled, and his death was doubtless
caused by concussion of the brain.
Captain Henry Grow was born near
Fishing Creek, Columbia county, and
was (as near as we can learn atthis writ-
ing)about 68 years old. He and Hon.
Chas. R. Buckalew were born on adjoin-
ing farms and were playmates in child-
hood. The captain never forgot his
playmate, and when Mr. Buckalew ran
for Governor on the Democratic ticket,
the captain, although a staunch Republi-
can, openly announced his determina-
tion to vote for Mr. Buckalew, and did
s0. He was a canal boat man in early
life and got his title of captain in that
way. He came to Clearfield county
forty years ago and has lived there ever
since. He owned a good farm below
Kylertown, near the Moshannon creek,
at what is now called Kyler Station, on
the Beech Creek railroad. He had asaw
mill and grist mill on the creek, which
he operated for years, but which out-
lived its usefulness and he gave up the
business several years since, and turned
his attention to farming. He was mar-
ried twice. By his first wife he had
five children, one of whom, a son, is
dead. The oldest son, Frank, lives at
Moshannon, near Snow Shoe, and two
married daughters, Mrs. George Hodg-
son and Mrs. Nettie Lake, live at
Philadelphia. By his second wife, who
is living, he had no children. He was
a bluff kind-hearted man, a great read-
er and full of informotion on all topics.
He was widely known and liked, and
his sudden aud horrible death is sincere-
ly lamented by every body that knew
him. Tt issaid that his mind has been
unsettled for some time, owing to busi-
ness troubles, and the circumstances of
his death indicate suicide.
Mrs. Dr. Dum, of Mackeyville,
sister of Miss Puella Dornblazer, died of

note, is recovering from an attack of the
same disease.

I. Peterson, electrician for the Philipsburg
Electric Light Co., has resigned his position
and accepted a similar one with an electric
“light company at Pittston.
Joe Curley, Hungarian, Swede, Italian ete.,

Mrs. Belle Middleton has purchased of W,
Y. Gary the desirable lot on the corner of
Tenth and Spruce streets, and expects to im-
mediately erecta handsome brick dwelling
upon it.
Messrs. Hoover, Hughes & Co, of this place,
have received the contract to erect block sig-
nal towers along the main line of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. Itisa big contract, yet this
enterprising firm are equal to the emergency.
They are now at work upon them, preparing
the lumber for them at their mill in this place.
About seven car loads of people from Houtz-
dale, Osceola, Philipsburg and intermediate
points, went to Clearfield Sunday morning to
attend the dedicatory services of the St Fran-
cis Catholic church, The church is one of the
largest, and cost more than any other church
building in Clearfield county. [t took almost
four years to complete it.
The electric light in Philipsburg has be-
come more and morea terrible failure, and
whether the Town Council are foolish enough
to put up with
electric lighting we don’t know. We want
light upon our streets, but to pay tax (enor-
mously high at that) for something that we
don’t have half the time we don’t think it is
exactly the correct thing. The darker the
night is the less light we have.

Forty three members of Hope Fire Company
No. 2, and three members of the Reliance Fire
Company, No.1, attended the State Firemen’s
convention, which was held at Carlisle last
week. The boys speak very enthusiastically
of the manner in which they were treated by
the companies and citizens of the town, and
enjoyed themselves hugely.
A couple of weeks ago we made mention
that Rev. 8. A. Cornelius had received a call
from Santa Cruz, Cal., to preach, but as he was
not at home at the time we had written the
letter,;we were unable to rectify the rumor.
Since his return, however, we are informed by
Mr. Cornelius that he has accepted the offer
and will leave Philipsburg for his new field of
labor immediately after the meeting of Synod,
which convenes next month.
The Good Templars of Philipsburg last
spring bored and bored the people for money
to place a public drinking fountain in front
of South Park. They got the money, got the
fountain and had it placed in position, but after
it had been erected, it sprung a leak. The
Water Company notified them several times
that if it was not fixed they would have to
shut the water off. It was neglected, conse-
quently the company shut off the water. It is
now going on toward two months since this
happened, and the fountain stands there
benefitting nobody. The question now arises
what are the G. T. S. going to do about it?
Pine Grove Pickings.
—The following from our regular correspond-
ent at Pine Grove Mills, was intended for the
last week’s Warcuman, and with other items
from that place, reached us just too late to in-
sert. As thereare a number of members of
the 9th army corp, who are readers of our pa.
per,and were unable to attend the unveiling
of the Monument to Gen. Reno, we give our
correspondent’s account of it although it is
late.
“Your correspondent, a member of Co., E. 45
P. V. V,, in Company with Capt. C. T. Fryber-
ger and Corporal W, H. Musser, attended the
unveiling exercises of the Reno Monument on
summit of South Mountain, Md., on the 14 inst.
The excursion train that bore the survivors of
the 9th army corps thither was in charge of
Gen. Hartranft, chairman of the Monumental
Committee.
The Monument is placed on the spot where the
General was killed. It is of granite, four feet
square at base, eight feet high; on the second
base the word “Reno” in raised letters, on pol-
ished front face of the die the badge of 6th
Army Corpand date, erected on a foundation
of cement and brick. Height of Monument
about 10 feet, and stands on a forty foot square
la tnicely sodded.
The unveiling exercises were conducted by
. Col. R. H. Goddard, of the general's staff, and
President of the Ninth Army corp society.
The transfer of the monument to the socie-
ty was made by Gen. Hartranft. The ora:
tion was delivered by Gen. O. B. Wilcox, of
first division Ninth army corp. The veter-
ans were photographed in group at the monu-
ment. The exercises closed by the “caning of a
Mr, Harp who gave Gen. Reno much information
as to Longstreet location, for which a splendid
gold headed cane was given him. The excursion-
ists returned to Antietam via the old Sharps-
burg road on which Burnside moved his
troops oyer the stone bridge, which bears his
name, where his corps bore a conspicuous part,
by holding Longstreet’s command on MecClel-
lan’s left.
At Antietam a large number of conveyances
awaited the visitors to convey them over the
route of 28 years ago, via the Sharpsburg and
Boonsborough turnpike, and the Antietam bat-
tle ground, which was reached at one o'clock,
where a bountious repast was spread for the
boys who wore the blue on the memorable 11th
of September, 1862, and which day brought sor-
row and sadness to many homes in this sec-
tion. Our Regt, the 45, lost 145 killed; oppos_
ing troops in front of us behind the stone wall
composed of McLaw’s division of Longstreet’
corps. There in the afternoon the brave con-
federate Gen. Garland was killed, and late in
the evening while Hood was trying to retake
his lost ground the gallant Reno fell,
shot through the breast. His personal
bravery contributed much toward winning
the victory.
An Unprecedented Adventure of Sailors:
A recent dispatch from New York
says: Among the disabledand weath-
er beaten craft which came into port
to-day was the Itaiian bark, Mici Nep-
oti, Captain Bazoune, from Bangkok.
The storm stovein four of her bulwarks,
shifted her cargo, and stripped off her
sails. But the most remarkable inci-
dent of the cyclone is thus narrated by
Captain Bazone : The gale struck us
from the north-northeast on September
9. The men had just gotten about
their work when a heavy storm struck
us. When the wave had passed over
us and the ship had righted six men of
the crew were no longer on board.
They had gone off with the wave, and
could easily be seen struggling on its
crest. The next moment they disap-
peared in the trough of the sea. Swept,
on by the waters they neared the ship.
The retreating wave dashed them up
against the raihng of the bark just as a
second wave came sweeping on us.
The men, however, had presence of
mind and strength to seize the railing,
and after the second wave had passed
over them to climb on hoard. All six
were saved. I think our adventare is
unprecedented.”
Silence and Tanner.
Chicago Herald.
Why “hush up,” as is proposed, the
Tannar scandal? Why suppress a single
detail of this nefarious raid on the pub
lic Treasury ? Why should any one
act of theft or the name of any partici
pant therein not be exposed to pub-
lic objurgation ? Tanner never sought
silence when in power. His was the
loudest yell ofall. His strongest weap-
on was his jaw ; no adversary escaped
his bray. In defeat he is forthe once
silent ; but it is only the silence of a
man who has been stunned. Anon he
will break loose again. So with Tan-
ner's friends—they are in retreat, but
they retire yelping. Tas not private
Dalzell yawped his yawp? Itis the
administration that demands a hush.
Harrison, who has already lost much
by the pension scandal, dreads the ef:
feet of fuller disclosures. With them
will come further estrangement of his
intimates and even greater disgust
among the luke-warm. And yetan ad-
ministration that shuns investigation
that has any thing to hash up, is an ad-
ministration which the people will never
trust.
The Fastest War-Ship in the World.
The trial trip of the new Government
cruiser Baltimore, designed, contracted
for and most of it built under the direc-
tiou of ex-Secretary Whitney, came
off on time last week and has proved
such a success that the builders, William
Cramp & Sons, will win a prize of $100,-
000 from the United States Government,
while the cruiser promises to develop in-
to the fastest war vessel in the world.
More than 10,000 horse power was devel-
oped by the Baltimore, which is 1,000
units more than the specifications call for.
The contract price is $1,325,000, but the
Government agreed to pay a premium
of $100 for each unit of horse power in
excess of the 9,000 guaranteed by the
builders. Any decrease below this fig-
ure subjected the firm to a penalty of a
like amount.
The Baltimore 1s a twin-serew cruiser.
Her length is 335 feet; breadth, 18} feet;
mean draught, 19} feet, with 4,400 tors
displacement. Has machinery consists
of horizontal, triple expansion twinscrew
engines, fed by four double ended return
tubular boilers of 322 pounds pressure
to the square inch. She will carry four
9-inch breech loading rifles, six 6-inch
breech-loading rifles, four 6-pounders,
two 1-pounder and four 37-millimetre
guns, all of the rapid firing patent, and
two Gatling guns.
CURIOSITIES OF SHORT-HAND.—
Some reporters use Short-hand for ¢tell-
ing fortunes.” Make a mark never so
simple, it will be sure to mean something
in short-hand. This is true, and has
been tried hundreds of times. 1t is sup-
posed that your pencil is guided by fate
and the words written are indicative of
what you will do, have or become. A
school teacher once wrote “million.” A
candidate for office wrote ‘‘salt-creek,”
and was sent up it soon afterwards. A
lazy fellow wrote Shirk.” A student
wrote “knowledge.” A school girl
wrote “tall fellow,” and seemed satisfied.
This sort of “fortune-telling,” which
may be indulged in at social gatherings,
is often quite amusing.
But it has always appeared to us
| that one of the most striking ‘“curiosi-
ties” about short-hand was that it could
be successfully taught by mail. It is
true only a few teachers understand how
to do this right. Teaching by mail is
something new, and the idea is proving
very popular, for the reason that the
student does not have to leave home, or
be put to much expense. Mr. Harry
DeGroff, a young man under twenty,
who learned entirely by mail, has just
been appointed Court Stenographer at
Beloit, Kansas. Salary $6 a day. He
received his instruction from Eldon
Moran, the well known stenographic
author.
For the reader’s information, we will
say that Prof. Moran has a copyrighted
method of teaching by mail, which for
practical value, is certainly unsurpassed
in this or any other country. In order
that the learner may test himself, he
gives a number of trial lessons free to
all who send their names to him at St.
Louis, Mo. A good plan is tosend 25
cts. (in stamps)-for a copy of his Short-
hand Primer. 1t is just ‘the thing.”
No charge for lesson sheets. If you
ever intend to study short-hand, here is
an opportunity you cannot atford to miss
‘Write at once, and the Professor will
answer you personally. ‘When you have
learned the Primer, he will introduce
vou by card to several young ladies
or gentlemen, with whom you may cor-
respond in short-hand characters. You
will find this very interesting.
Here is an item for unprogres-
sive farmers who look upon agricultural
education with contempt: Denmark
has spent $50,000 a year for twenty-five
years on dairy schools, and by that
means has so brought up the quality
and increased the quantity of its butter
product that the yearly exports alone
have grown in the last twenty yeurs
from $2,100,000 to $13,000,000, or more
than 600 per cent. Education always
pays, and every cent expended on it
brings in both a larger profit and a more
certain one than any form of expendi-
ture.
Hr THUNDERED ANYHOW.—-Sum-
mer Poet--¢I have here, sir, a little
peem which I have decided to let you
have.”
Editor—* You mean you want it put
in our paper ?”’
Poet—* Yes, sir; I care not for lacre,
but I am ambitious. I wantto go thun-
dering down the ages.”
Editor (after reading the first stanza)
—“Well, the fact is, we are cut of ages
just now, but I tell you what I can do
for you; Icansend you thundering down
the stairs inside of forty seconds by the
watch.” — Lawrence American.
But few farmers through the coun-
try use ice in their dairy, yet good but-
ter is made with difficulty in summer
without its aid, and especially is it use-
ful in getting the butter to market in
good condition. A good supply of ice
should be put up for use in the dairy.
Books, Magazines, &c.
—“Peterson” for October comes to us with a
handsome new cover, which the publishers
announce to he the first of a number of im”
provements about to be made in this periodi-
cal. The contents of this number are, as usual,
of the first order of merit. The illustrations
are excellent, the stories capital, and the fash-
ion and household departments are models
in their completeness. The lisi of premiums
for 1890 presents a tempting array of attrac-
tions to getters-up of clubs. Address Peter-
son’s Magazine, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadel-
phia, Pa.
—The first number of the New England
Magazine, the Illustrated Monthly published
in Boston and edited by Edward Everett Hale
and Edwin D. Mead, has several articles relatng
to Plymouth and the Pilgrims,which are doub-
ly interesting at this time when the great cel-
ebration at Plymouth is still frash in mind.
The opening article is “A Plymouth Pilgrim-
age,” by Mrs. Abby Morton Diaz, who is a
daughter of Plymouth, and is followed by a
breezy paper on “Plymouth Woods,” by Mar
son Watson. Another Plymouth article is on
“The Pilgrim Society and the Monument.
There are also articles on Scrooby, the old
English home of the Pilgrims, and on “The
Pilgrims in Leyden,“—the latter by Rev.
Henry M. Dexter, the editor of the Congrega-
These articles are all beautifully
and very fully illustrated.
Dr. Hale writes upon “The
tionalist.
Pilgrims’ Life
in Common,” telling of a Socialism in which
the individual was thoroughly respected. Mr.
Mead has an article attempting to answer,as
well as it can be answered, the old question,
“Did John Hampden come to New England 7”
There are two papers inspired by the French
Centennial, one a political essay by William
Clark, M.A.,of London; the other, “The News of
the French Revolution in America,” a curious
study of the newspapers of a hundred years
ago, by Professor Davis R. Dewey of the Mas-
sachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor
James K. Hosmer begins a historical romance,
"The Haunted Bell,”—the scene of which is
laid in ancient Montreal. A short story of fish-
er life, poems, and editorial notes on fresh und
important points finish the number.
—ASeribner's Magazine for October contains an
exciting exploration article, in which Joseph
Thompson describes his remarkable and fa-
mous journey through equatorial Africa; a very
practical paper on the best way to improve the
common roads of the United States; an end
paper by “Ik Marvel,” the author of “Reveries
of a Bachelor;” one of the most attractive
electric articles, showing modern applications
of electricity to war, on land and sea; the
end of Stevenson's great romance “The
Master of Ballantrae;” an unconventional
travel article on Iceland ; the second install
ment of Harold Frederic’s romance of Colonial
New York ; with other interesting fiction and
poems. Most of these articles are richly illus-
trated. There are poems by Edward S. Martin,
Duncan Campbel Scott, and Edith Wharton.
—Hunger for good American short stories
can be satisfied by the feast of this species of
literature to be found in the October Number
of Harper's Magazine. Edward Bellamy contri.
‘hutes aZsketch entitled “With, the Eyes Shut,”
Annie Trumbull Slosson develops a fanciful
idea in “Butterneggs,” which she ‘further de-
scribes in a sub-title as *A Story of Heredity.”
Margaret J. Preston tells, in “Aunt Dorthie’s
Funeral,” of obsequies which “man proposed,”
but which were subsequently celebrated with
joy and merriment; and Mrs, Lucy C. Lillie,
in “Captain Brook's Prejudice,” relates the
story of a caprice and its consequences to two
lovers. Hunger for good articles will also be sat-
isfied by the contents of this Number of Harp-
er's. A paper upon “The Building of the
Church of St. Denis ;” a clear and comprehen
sive account of “Recent Progress in Surgery,”
a description of The Fair of Nijni-Novgorod.
A Corner of Scotland worth knowing. “A
Peculiar People”-a German Baptist sect-the
Dunkers of Pennsylvania; and Tristram Ellis,
what he saw on a visit to “Hierapoli and its
White Terrace.” Edwin A, Abbey il ustrates,
with nine drawings, “The Noble Patron,” by
Austin Dobson: and Alfred Parsons embellish-
os in like manner Wordsworth’s sonnet, “Hail
Twilight.” Alfred Hall contributes a poem
entitled “All's Well on the Earth”; and Lucy
Larcom another entitled “Discovery.” The
editorial department is as full as usual.
--Ex-Postmaster-General Thomas L. James
has prepared an explanation of needed postal
reforms, which will appear in the October
Forum. Mr James declares that the railway
mail is tweaty years behind the times and
ought to be very greatly improved; that small
offices near to one another ought to consoli-
date nnder one management, so as to save ex’
pense; and that the ocean postage ought greatly
to be cheapened. Senator Cullum of Illinois,will
have an article in the same number on“Pro”
tection and the Farmer,” to show that the farm-
ers are benefited by a protective system more
than any other class. Mr. Edward Wake-
field, a member of the Australian Parlia-
ment, who has been elected and defeated
many times under the Australian ballot
system, will contribute to this number an ex-
planation fof the practical workings and of
some defeets of the system which has been so
much discussed in this country. Prof. Will-
jam I. Harris, United Ststes Commissioner
of Education, writes a critical examination of
Edward Bellamy’s “Looking Backward.”

Dear Sadie, we know thou art gone
To thine eternal rest;
And while we sadly for thee mourn,
The Lord knew what was best.
He took thee in the prime of Ife,”
Ere thou did’st have much care,
Safe from this world of pain and strife,
To dwell with Jesus there.
We miss thee in the quiet home,
There is the vacant chair;
But, in thy father’s house above,
He did thy home prepare.
We miss thee in the church on earth,
No more we'll hear thy song ;
But, in the Heavenly choir above,
Thou wilt his preise prolong.
We miss thee—it may not be long —
How long we cannot tell,
Until we meet in Heaven again,
Dear Sadie, now farewell. 8. 8. H.

Wastes or gives away during the year
mere or less kitehen grease, each pound of
which can in a few minutes be converted into
two pounds of the P IST SOAP, far better
than can be found on The only expense
for making ten pounds of this soap, with five
and one-half pounds of grease or oil, is the
trifle costof onecanof _— ___ _——— _ ___.
to be found at nearly BANNER LYE
every grocery store. ——————————
Dissolve the contents of one can of Banner
Lye in three and one-half pints of cold water,
and pour slowly into five and one-half pounds
of lukewarm grease, stirring from the start,
until it thickens into a mushy condition : then
pour into any kind ot mould to harden—a
child ean make it, and full directions are to he
found back of each label.
A can of BANNER LYE will do the work of
twenty-one pounds of washing soda, and be-
sides its value for scrubbing purposes, the
cleansing and disintecting of Sinks, Closets
and Waste Pipes, destroying the Filth and
Disease arising therefrom, makes its system-
atic use one of the greatest boons the house-
keeper has fallen heir to.

A MARVELOUS RESTORATIVE.
.Contains all the vital principles of
Certain Glands of the Guinea Piy,
sofsuccessfully experimented with by
DR. BROWN-SEQUARD,
and so purified that its effects are as certain
and mucn more lasting than when hypoder-
mically injected.
It acts as a stimulant, without any subse-
quent depression. The people who are
benefited begin in a few minutes to feck
well, as if they had taken a little cham-
paegne and they kept on feeling so.
All the functions depending on the power
and action of the nervous centres, and espe- .
cially of the spinal cord, were notably and rap-
idly improved after the first two orthree days
of ny experiments. It possesses ie power ot
increasing the strength of many parts of the
human organism.—Dr, Brown-Sequard in Lon-
don Lancet.
