The Logan and Undine engine com- panies were both on the scene promptly and did splendid work. Everybody com- mented on the remarkable manner in which they handled the fire, in the face of a wind that sent sheets of flame and showers of sparks in all directions. Frame hovses built almost directly against it were saved from even a scorching. The entire roof and upper story of the Pacini house was burned off. The fire originated ahout the flue in the southern end of the attic. The losses of owner and occupant are covered by in- surance. ee ——James McDermott, who is a splen- did mason and a good citizen as long as he keeps sober, but an intolerable nuisance when he is drunk, got ou a rampage last Saturday and came very near blowing up the McDermott home on east Bishop street in particular and that whole section of town in general.

And a granite marker, three and a balf feet high, twe feet broad and one foot thick was placed at the head of the grave at the same time. The inscription on the ma 1ker states that the first church of any denomination in the valley, the east Penn’s Valley Presbyterian church, which was erected in 1785, stood seventy-eight feet south of the marker; that therein the Presbytery of Huntingdon was organized April 14th, 1785; that the Rev. James Martin, whose grave is within the enclos- ure was the first settled pastor, his field of work extended to the Juniata river and that the fence and stone were erected by the authority of the Presbytery of Hunt- ingdon, 1901. On the old slab which cov- ers the grave is the following. “Here lies the body of the Rev. James Martin, pastor of the first Presbyterian congregation in Penn’s Valley, who died June 20th, 1795, aged about sixty-five years. Deep was the wound, O Death, and vastly wide, When he resigned his useful breati and died, Ye sacred tribes with pious sorrows mourn; And drop a tear at your own dear Pastor’s urn.

It was raining at the time, and the brakes were useless in reducing the speed. The men saw the danger ahead and dropped off. The cars ran as far as Log bridge hollow, where- they jumped the track and lodged against a pine tree. The miners are ae- customed to ride down the mountains when through work for the day, the grade being sufficient to speed the cars from the mines to the James Metzgar farm, a distance of more thav' five miles. The ride will test the nerve of almost any one as the track runs perilously near the edge along the mountain side, and in some places the creek and Beech Creek railroad are almost per- pendicularly below, by several hundred feet. Hunters takeadvantage of the trains to reach the hunting grounds in the "Scootac regions, being carried on their way seven miles, which is the length of the road from the works to the mines. ‘Saturday there were thirteen men; miners and hant- ers, with thirteen rabbits on the cars wlen they started to run away.

The cause of the postponement was ow- ing to a question of legality of the time of the notice of the sale.

As the train crossed the road just below the bridge he grabbed for the hand rail at the end of the caboose and caught it. He was uvable, though, to get up onto the step and by the time the train had gotten onto the bridge could bold on no longer. He dropped through between the ties into the creek, a distance of ten or twelve feet, and was pulled out by a couple of witnesses of she accident. His head and face were bad- ly cut and bruised, his shoulder blade was broken and he was carried home on a stretcher. ou OVERLY-TAYLOR. — Mr. Marcus H. Overly, of Pittsburg, and Mrs. Jennie 7T.
