KILLED HERSELF BECAUSE SHE LOVED HER Cousin.—Philipshurg was the scene of a sad suicide, early Monday morning, | when Myrtle Barto, a seventeen year old | serving girl in the employ of George P. Files, of that place, ended her unhappy life by drinking an ounce and one-half of laudanum. The girl was a daughter of Samuel Bar- to, of North Philipsburg, and had been in Mr. Files’ employ for about a week. On Sunday night she returned from church about 9 o'clock and upen entering the house asked Mrs. Files where she could find a lead pencil. It would appear from this that she had premeditated the awful deed and was preparing to write the note that was found, next morning, by her dy- ing hody. In reply to-the inquiry Mrs. Files told her she could get one out of the sideboard drawer. She procured the pen- cil and went to her room. There was a two ounce bottle nearly filled with lauda- num in the pantry and it issupposed, when she went for the pencil, she also secured the poison. She was not seen again until about ten minutes’ til five o'clock the next morning, when Mr. Files went to her room, knocked at the door, but not receiv- ing any reply to his summons went down stairs and asked his wife to go up and call her. Mis. Files went into the room where the girl slept, and quickly saw that some- thing terrible had happened. She called to her, then shook her, but could not awaken her from the then almost deadly sleep. She looked at her face and dis- covered her eyes and lips to be blue and her face of a deadly pallor. Upon glanc- ing over to the bureau she soon discovered why the girl did not make reply. A two ounce bottle, which the evening be- fore had contained about an ounce and a | half of laudanum, had been emptied. What time she had taken the deadly poi- son was not known. As soon as Mr. and Mis. Files discovered what happened to the young girl, Drs. S. D. and Charles McGirk were called but by the time they had ar- rived she was beyond medical help, and after being unconscious all the time ling- ered until 9.15 o’clock when she died. She wrote a letter addressed to her friends giving the cause which led to the commission of the awful act. While the contents of her last message have not been made public it is said that she loved a cousin named Walk and on account of their close relationship her father objected to her going with him. Whether she had any other troubles or not we have not learned. She was removed to her home in North Philipsburg and buried on Wednes- afternoon. Soe: A CHILD MEETS A FRIGHTFUL DEATH. —A horribly frightful accident occurred, at Castanea, near Lock Haven, on Wednes- day afternoon of last week, when 12 year old Mary Matizelle was burned to death. The child was keeping house for her father, who is an Italian laborer, her moth- er having died about a month ago, and was just preparing to get him his supper when she undertook to hurry along a slowly | burning fire by the use of coal oil. The oil | ignited causing an explosion and throwing the burning fluid all over her. She was enveloped in flames in an instant and ran screaming from the house. Some men who were working near the Jeech Creek station heard the screams and ran to find the cause. When they approach- ed the child she was sitting down in a ver- itable mass of fire. As all of them were in their shirt sleeves they had no clothing with which to try to smother the flames, but finally they did succeed in getting them out with water. As the men carried the poor little creature back into the house portions of her charred flesh fell from her body. She presented a most sickening sight. From the head to the feet nearly every portion of the flesh had been touched by the flames. The more exposed parts had been burned so deeply that chunks of flesh had fallen off, leaving ugly looking raw places open to view. The stomach was simply a crisp, while dark looking blis- ters stood out prominently on the fore- head. > His Bob¥ BROUGHT HERE FOR BUR- I1AL.—The remains of Joseph Clark were brought to Bellefonte, from Pittsburg, on Monday afternoon, and interred in the Union cemetery, the local lodge of Odd Fellows having had charge of the funeral.

Carter was thrown clear over the railing into the stream, while nearly the entire load of bark slid off on top of him. he mud and water in which he landed saved him from serious injury. i aye, EPWORTH LEAGUE FESTIVAL AT PLEAS- ANT GAP.—The managers of the Pleasant Gap chapter of Epworth League will hold a festival on Saturday evening, July 24th, to which everybody is cordially invited.

Dr. Carl Vischer, of Hahneman hospital, Philadelphia, was sent for and the young man was operated on on Mon- day morning. He rallied from the operation very rapid- ly. but Tuesday morning began to sink again and it was feared that he was dying, but later in the day he rallied again and improved until at mid-night Wed- nesday he began to sink again and all day yesterday it was feared that he would not survive until night. The ope- ration revealed the presence of several little lime-stones in the appendix. Rider isa lime worker at Morris’ kilns and while he had never lost any time on the account of the trouble it had caused him more or less pain for over a year. He is a member of the Coleville band and only the Thursday evening previous had been to practice with that organiza- tion. > His EAR ALMOST CUT OFF IN A FIGHT. -—Joseph Yokoboska, a polish miner, and Steve Shedlock, a hungarian miner, agreed to disagree a long time ago, but not until Sunday did they leave their pugilistic pro- pensities rise to such a pitch as to get away with them. About four o’clock that afternoon they met, near Holt’s coal operation, about three miles from the Beech creek station at Snow Shoe and fought to a finish. With an ax the Hungarian struck the Polander several fierce blows about the head and back. His right ear was almost severed from his head and his throat was cut. There was also a cut in his back which reached into the backbone. His condition was indeed very precarious for a while but he will sur- vive the hacking. Shedlock was arrested, Sunday night, by constable Chambers, who brought him to Bellefonte and had him lodged in jail at 4 o'clock on Monday morning. A nolle pros was entered on Wednesday, the Pole paid the costs and with-drew the charge and the Hungarian was released from jail and went home re- joicing.

It required five full days to transcribe it and recorder Harper’s fee for the work will be $33. It was necessary to record the mortgage in this county because the N. Y. Central company is the lessee of the Beech Creek system, which operates through Centre county. i epee THE BELLEFONTE CLUB ROBBED.—The Bellefonte club house, on High street, this place, was entered by burglars, early Wed- nesday morning, and about $25 in cash was taken. Entrance was gained through a back door and it would seem that whoever did the work was acquainted with the conduct of the club, for the secretary’s desk was forced open and there the money was found. The money in the cigar stand was taken, also, but singularly the case was opened and relocked again, nothing having been disturbed hut the money. —— te Tue STATE FisH HATCHERIES WILL HAVE 10 CLosE.—The Legislature having forgotten to include in the general appro- priation an item of $40,000 for the state fish commission the result closing of all the state hatcheries and sixty- thousand breeding fish will have to he turned into the streams. vear with a trouble that his physician was | Haven, on Tuesday night, and reported the | News Purely Personal. —Mrs J.
