Spring Mills.
The new foot bridge over Peuns creek is
almost completed.
Jobn Meyers and wife left ou Thursday
last for a visit to New York, Philadelphia
and Atlantic City.
J. N. Leitzell, of Portland Mills, formerly
of this place, is here visiting relatives and
friends, a guest of William Pealer.
Plowing in this neighborhood is entirely
blocked, too dry. Sinking creek has almost
sunk out of sight and can be crossed most
anywhere without getting your shoes wet.
Penns creek is also very low.
0. T. Corman will open a first class restau.
rant at the Grangers encampment at Centre
Hall. He will furnish meals at all hours.
Prime shell and tub oysters a specialty; also
fruit, cakes and candies. Mr. Corman gets
up very inviting meals; his oyster stews
were quite famous at the picnic last year.
Mrs. G. N. Wolf, well known as a skillful
and artistic dress maker, and whose judg-
ment and exquisite taste in millinery goods
is equalled by few, baving had numerous
calls for early fall hats, u day or two since
ordered quite an invoice of the iatest styles
and to be here by the 10th inst. Just in
time for the picnic. Mrs. Wolf is doiog a
very lively business,
@G. W. Sheasley has now his hydraulic eci-
der press, located a short distance below
town, iu active operation. Everything about
the premises is clexn and tidy and with his
improved machinery, the cider as it comes
from the press is clear and sparkling, and
perfectly free from pomace and other impur-
ities. The receptacle for receiving apples is
on a level with the wagon box, so there is no
trouble in unlonding, and the cider is hoisted
on the wagon by steam power. Mr. Sheas-
ley has everything about the place conven:
iently arranged.
J. W. Wood, of the Spring Mills hotel, says
that during the summer he did a very excel-
lent business, and it still continues. Com-
mercial agents arriving here in the after-
noon generally remain over night, and fre
quently in the evening a dozen or more col-
lect in the reading room and then the
yarns and stories of traveling life commence.
Some very tough and so amusing as to make
even a cow laugh. Clyde Roper, a thorough
horseman, has now charge of the hotel sta,
" bles, which is a guarantee that all animals
placed in his hands will receive every care
and attention.
Adam Finkle, the lumber operator of our
town, has just erected a very handsome and
imposing residence and a large barn, on the
. old farm which he purchased from the Ev-
ans’ estate some time ago, located east of the
town at the base of Egg hill and on the road
leading to Georges valley—a beautiful loca-
tion. Mr. Finkle has introduced into his
dwelling and barn nearly all the modern
_ improvements and many conveniences.
_ Water is piped into both buildings from a
neighboring spring. The surrounding build.
_ ings are equally substantial and convenient-
ly located. The property presents a very
_ attractive appearance in going or returning
~ from. 3. valiey. Mr. Finkle bas now a
home second to none in Gregg township.
On Saturday last the M. E. Sunday school
had, as usnal, their picnic, and all the other
Sunday schools were invited to join in to
make the occasion a nnion pienie, but only a
few members of the different schools did so.
The children enjoyed themselves immensely
and the day was one of enjoyment and pleas
ure. Last year some of the officers of the
Sunday schools and a few luminaries of the
church were not in favor of a union pienic
of all the schools, but they failed to defeat
the measure. This year, however, in a man-
ner they succeeded. A union picnic in their
clouded minds was an abomination, and
being of the ‘I am holier than thou” order
of pharisaism opposed it, and at the picnic
made themselves ridiculous and conspicuous
! by their absence. But nevertheless these
**shining lights” were in favor of a picnic
consisting of only “our” own denomination,
it would be orthodox even if few in number.
They think that Heaven has partitioned off
a small fence corner for their especial use,
for the exclusive benefit of ‘our’ church.
All other denominations are simply the sons
and daughters of darkness, snd on their
mundane sphere there must be no contami-
nation nor defilement resulting from associa.
ting with deluded followers of false creeds
and tenets, to jeopardize their final salvation
and entrance into the sacred fence corner.
What a beautiful example of love and chari-
¥ these wisencres display to the children.
hat a bright example indeed to induce
them to tread from out the paths between
their hearts the weeds of selfishness and
hate, are they not fostering and cultivating
them. Are they not instilling into tender
and youthful minds and eotwining them
with those poisonous vines of bigotry, priest-
craft and superstition. Is it according to the
precepts of Him who said *‘love one anoth-
er.” In brief, is it christian like? Most
assuredly not, and shows a pitiful lack of
sense in the fool who thinks so.
Sister Whom She Bit May Also Be
Infected.
Trenton, N. J, Sept. 1. — Gertrude
Homeir, nineteen months old, is be
lieved to be dying of hydrophobia at
the Mercer hospital. A month ago,
while the baby was playing on the
sidewalk, it was bitten by a mongrel
cur, which had all the symptoms of
rables. The wound was cauterized, but
a few days ago the child manifested
signs of hydrophobia, and she was sent
to the hospital for ‘reatment. During
one of her convulsions she hit her
sister, who is being carefully watched
by the physicians.
Rockefeller Offers $150,000 To Baptists
New York, Sept. 1.—Through the
general education board, John D. Rock:
efeller has offered Richmond college,
Richmond, Va., $150.000 for the pur
pose of endowing a great Baptist uni-
versity in the South. The offer is made
on the condition that the Baptists of
the state raise an additional $350,000.
The proposition has been accepted.
and an cffort to raise the money will
be pushed with vigor.
Brown's Assets Exceed Debts.
New York, Sept. 1.—A statement of
the assets and liabilities of A. O.
Brown & Company was issued by the
firm's attorneys. It was asserted that
the report of the assignee shows good
assets of more than $4,500,000 against
liabilities of less than $4,000,000.
Sixty Dead In
The flood water at Augusta,
teded rapidly, and as the water leaves
the streets it is apparent that the loss
is under-estimated. In addition to the
disasters already reported, the
side mills sustained a loss of $100,000;
the Reid cotton warehouse, the finest
in the south, was greatly damaged;
the triangular block, where the whole-
sale houses are assembled, was badly
damaged; the Nelson Morris & Co.
warehouse has collapsed and is being
razed; the Augusta Grocery company’s
buiding was damaged to the extent of
the National Biscuit com-
jany’s building was wrecked; the Cen-
tral grammar school and the Davidson
grammar school were also damaged
severely. The property loss is estl-
mated at $2,500,000.
Twenty-two bodies have been recov.
ered and corpses are bing found every
hour or so. The captain of the river
steamer Swan reported that he saw
on the trip up the river at least twen-
ty-five corpses, all negroes except one,
a white man. There are reports of
many drownings among negro farm
hands in the lower valley. The Chroon-
icle estimates the death list at sixty.
Runaway Car Kills Five Men,
Five men were instantly killed, an-
other is expected to die and five others
were seriously injured in a collision
at the Warrior Run colliery of the Le-
high Valley Coal Co. near Wilkes
Barre, Pa. Two men were being
hoisted up the slope when a runaway
car struck the cars, on which were
twenty men, who were employed in
the mine. Only six of them escaped
entirely uninjured.
The car which ran away was being
switched from one track to another
when the head man in charge of it
lost control of it. It went beyond the
point intended, jumping the latches at
the head of the sfope and running up
a steep incline. It then ran back down
into the slope 1000 feet before fit
struck the other cars with the men
on. The cars with the workmen
aboard had just stopped at what was
known as No. 3 lift to take on other
employes from that part of the mine.
A signal to start upwards had just
been given the hoisting engineer when
the roar of the down-coming car warn-
ed the men of the danger. The few
who escaped jumped from the cars at
once, but the others were caught be:
fore they could escape.
Rosenblooms Out On Bail.
Mrs. Bonnie Rosenbloom and her
sixteen-year-old daughter, Eva, who
were arrested in Baltimore for com-
plicity in the alleged murder of
their husband and father, Solomon Ja-
coh Rosenbloom, of Windber, Pa., were
admitted to ball at Somerset, Pa.
by District Attorney Miller. They
were held as witnesses to. r
whenever the authorities want them.
The murder charge against them will
be dropped for the present. The dis
trict attorney thinks this is the best
course to pursue, for he wants to wait
until Alexander Rosenbloom, who is
suspected of murdering his father, is
arrested.
The fact that Mrs. Rosenbloom has
said she believes Alexander Rosen-
bloom, her son, has left the country
leads the authorities to believe that
hig arrest never may be made. It is
almost a year since the young man
disappeared, and it is believed that he
has placed as much distance as pogsi-
ble between the scene of the alleged
crime and himselft. :
If he has left the country, the police
think there is small chance of captur-
ing Alexander. §
Bordentown Man Slain On Street.
Edward Ford, boss carpenter
for the Pennsylvania railroad, was
shot and mortally wounded on the
street at Bordentown, N. J. by
Joseph Hoover, a friend and neighbor.
Hoover stopped Ford on his way to
work, and, accusing him of being toc
friendly with Mrs. Hoover, demanded
that he fight. Ford threatened to have
Hoover arrested, whereupon the latter
drew a revolver and shot Ford twice,
inflicting wounds from which he died
several hours later in a hospital at
Trenton. Hoover made no attempt to
escape after the shooting, and was ta-
ken to Mount Holly pending a hear-
ing. Friends of the Hoover ily
are of the opinion that Hoover is un-
balanced mentally. ;
Fifteen Drowned in Cloudburst.
A flood in the Cameron river, follow-
ing a cloudburst, washed away Sens
dwellings at Folsom, N. M. Fifteen
persons are reported to have be-n
drowned. Eleven bddies have been
recovered. Ten miles of track and
twelve bridges on the Colorado &
Southern railway were washed out.
Trains have been laid out forty-eight
hours.
General A. P. Stewart Dead.
General Alexander P. Stewart, one
of the last two surviving lieutenant
generals of the Confederate army,
died at his home at Biloxi, Miss. Al-
though he was in his eighty-seventh
year and suffering from the infirmitics
of old age, General Stewart's death
came as a distinct shock to his rela.
tives and friends.
Thirty Miners Suffocated.

As a Result of the Encounter With
8. G. Smith In a Bank at Wheeling
Senator Scott's Face Will Be Deco
rated With Bruises For Some Weeks
to Come-——Received Thirty Jabs Be-
fore the Fighters Were Separated
and He Was “All In.” ,
Wheeling, W. Va, Sept. 1.—United
States Senator Nathan B. Scott en
gaged in a sensational fistic encounter
with ex-State Senator 8. G. Smith, a
prominent Wheeling lawyer and polit!-
cian, in the Dollar Savings and Trust
company’s building, and as a result he
is carrying a batch of severe bruises
that will decorate his face for some
weeks.
Thirty-six blows, by actual count,
were struck before L. F. Stifel, cashier
of the bank, separated the combat
ants.
Thirty were credited to Mr. Smith,
who sustained only a few slight
scratches from the six blows of the
senator.
The fight was the result of a state
ment made by Mr. Smith in an address
at Parkersburg about a month ago, in
which he said the United States sena
torship in West Virginia had been
bought at public auction for many
years.
Senator Scott was in the bank when
Mr. Smith entered. The latter spoke
friendly, and in reply the senator de
manded to know why he had said that
“United States senators had been
bought for years.” :
Scott further said that the statement
had been published in a newspaper
where he was interested.
Mr. Smith replied: “I didn't say
United States senators from West Vir
ginia had been bought. I said the sena-
torship had been purchased at public
auction.”
“You're a lar!” hotly retorted the
senator, as he struck at Smith,
Smith stepped back from the sena-
tor, who followed up the attack with
another blow. To defend himself.
Smith struck the senator, who is con
siderably the heavier man, although
fifteen years his senior.
By the time they were partea Sena-
tor Smith was “all in.” Less than half
a dozen persons witnessed the en-
counter in the bank.
For years the two have not been
the best of friends, and it is undef
stood that Scott's feelings had become
more embittered because Smith had
been an adherent of the Scherr ticket
in this state, while Scott openly de
clared himself, along with Senator El
kins, for Swisher for governor.
Although politically at dagger's
point, to the casual observer they were
friends, and Senator Scott's outburst
of anger was said to have been unjus-
tified. :
Smith said: “When he called mea
liar I told him that United States sena-
tors were not divine, that they couldn't
be called the same thing, so | sald
you're a damned liar, and he struck
me.” :
When the Scott followers later called
Smith over the 'phone and asked to
arrange a conference, Smith said:
“You fellows can all go to the devil
I'm through with you.”
Allen Winter Wins $50,000 Race.
The well-earned victory won by 1M.
R. Reardon's Indianapolis stallion, Al-
len Winter, at the Readville, Mass.,
track, thereby capturing the largest
share of the $50,000 American trotting
handicap from the field of thirty-three
starters, is believed by many of the
20,000 followers of harness racing who
saw the contest to establish a new era
in the history of the sport and ensure
its rejuvenation in this country.
The race was novel in its conditions,
which placed the horses at marks
from one-quarter to three-eights of a
mile behind the usual starting point,
on a handicap based on their previous
performances, and at the conclusion it
appeared to be the general opinion of
all who saw the two preliminary heats
and the grand final that this system
of racing will be popular in the future.
The purse of $50,000 was split up.
$30,000 going to the winner, $10,000
{0 the secorid horse, $5006 to the third,
$2500 to the fourth, $1500 to the Iifih
and $1000 to the sixth.
Half-Submerged Launch Evidence of
Double Drowning.
Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 1. — The
finding of a half-submerged launch in
Great Egg Harbor bay is accepted as
mute evidence of a double drowning in
which Charles Bateman, aged twenty-
two years, and Miss Kate Beam, aged
twenty years, of South Atlantic City,
are supposed to have been the victims.
The young people went out on the bay
together on Friday night last and noth-
ing has since been heard of them. The
launch in which they went boating was
picked up by the life savers and was
identified by Amos Bateman, father of
the missing man.
Carpenters Fall 80 Feet; Two Dead.
New York, Sept. 1.—Tkree carpen-

ed through tne air to a skylight eighty
feet below when one of the supporting
cables parted. Andrew O'Malley was

ture of the skull and internal injuries
and was taken to a hospital in a dying
