© W. C. Robbins, of Williamsport, field secre-
gary of temperance of the M. E. church,

very forceful speaker.
Rev. B. C. Conner, presiding elder of the
Altoona district of the M. E. church, will
preach in the church here June 28th, at

A series of balloon ascensions are bocked
for this town this summer, and will be in
charge of Newton Brungart and our gener-
ous merchant, W. E. Smull. It is hoped
that the events will be crowned with more
success than those of a few weeks ago.
Mr. Brungart expects to fit himself with
sufficient rope to enable him to hold on to
the balloon until it is properly inflated, for
he says a garden rake is mot the proper
thing.
Steel Prices Cut.
Announcement was made in New
York by Judge Elbert H. Gary, the
ehairman of the United States Steel
Corporation, that a general reduction
in the prices of finished steel products
bad been agreed upon by representa.
tives of the large steel interests after
an all-day conference. The reduction
affects billets, steel bars, plates, struc.
tural fron, merchant pipe and wire
pails. The statement was as follows:
“The representatives of the leading
steel manufacturing companies have
been in session during the day. It is
understood that the price of iron ore
has been or will soon be reduced to
50 cents per ton base.
“Each one of the steel manufactur-
ers expressed the opimon that there
should be a readjustment in the prices
of their respective commodities, as
follows: Billets, from $28 per ton to
$26; sheet bars, from $29 per ton to
$27; plates, from $1.70 per 100 pounds
to $1.60 per 100 pounds; merchant
pipe, a reduction of two points, or $4
per ton; wire nails, from $2.05 per 100
pounds to $1.95 per 100 pounds.
“Sheet and plates were reduced early
in the year; therefore no changes were
considered in the prices of these pro-
ducts.”
Murdered and Robbed On the Street.
While a dozen terrorized men and
women looked on from the windows
of the surrounding houses in West
Twenty-seventh street, New York city,
two highwaymen beat to death and |-
robbed a man belleved to be a Mr.
Nowell, of Toronto. He was still
breathing when witnesses of the trag-
edy ran up to him after the robbers
bad fled, but he died in a hospital
while the surgeons were preparing to
trephine his shattered skull. Accord-
ing to the stories of eye-witnesses the
victim of the assault was sauntering
slowly down the street, when two men,
who had been walking behind him,
sprang upon him. One of the men
geized him by the throat, and while
he held him the other struck Nowell
a crushing blow on the forehead with
a blackjack. Then, as the man contin-
ved to struggle in an effort to free
himself, the man with the blackjack
struck a second blow. Nowell fell to
the sidewalk unconscious. As he lay
there the robbers rifled his pockets
and fled before an alarm had been
given.
Hung Suspended By Cheek.
Hooked through the right cheek
and the upper eyelid of his right eye,
William Brown, five years of age, an
inmate of the West Jersey Orphanage,
at Camden, N. J., was suspended for
five minutes by three prongs of barbed
wire from the top of a six-foot fence
on the Mechanic street side of the
home.
Under the advice of the matron the |"
‘little boy manfully endured the ter
rible suffering while two of the em-
ployes held his body up and W. D.
Durisoe, husband of the matron, with
a pair of tinsmith's shears cut out a
‘gection of the barbed wire, thus free-
ing the little fellow.
