On the following day two other tramps were

' hence were permitted to depart without
further punishment.
; The Altoona TrVmne of Tuesday says
; that in the course of a few days the first
i dividend in the Lloyd estate w ill be ready
! for payment. At a late meeting of the cred
' itors it was decided to distribute five er
j cent, among the creditors. The checks are
' all made out ready to give to their owners,
! and oniv await the arrival of the register's
rolls, which will be in that cltv before a week
ejocs by. The checks will amount to sums
varying all the way from three cents to tir
I teen hundred dollars. Much inquiry has
Wen made at th banking house in regard to
j the matter during the past week, but people
will have to wait a few days longer.
' On Tuesday of last week, as we learn
1 from the Indiana Deinon-ftt, hrist. Sweitz.er ;
j and the three young Borings, who have been
incarcerated ill the jail of that county for 1
' oyer two months, on a charge of murdering a j
jicddler named Marks, were brought ln-fore I
Judge Itlair on a writ or namax corpus, when
it was made clear that instead of Marks be- I
ing murdered, he had skipped his creditors
and was living with his wife at Dubuque,
Iowa. All this was discovered by a detec
tive, who furnished the proof. "With the
consent of District Attorney Watson, on mo
tion of Joseph M Thompson, Esq., the
Court at once discharged the prisoners.
The author of the somew hat celebrated
Paiilhamus fiction comes to the front again
in this (Thursday) morning's Altoona Tri
hunr with a story about a youth hamed Pou
nd Sharp, whom it locates a short distance
west of Cresson and who it says had his leg
so shockingly mutilated by an alligator while
bathing in a tributary of the Conemeugh 1 iv
er the other day said alligator being the
same one, it is supposed, which very conve
niently escaped from a freight car which was
dumped into the stream by a collision some
time last May that 'mortification set in and
the limb had to be amputated just below the
knee. Of course we dount the allegation and
think we can whip the al legator.
A dishonest domestic named Kreiger,
stole forty dollars, a silver watch and a
switch of hair from the residence of Alder
man Blake, of Altoona, on Thursday last,
but was followed by that gentleman to Ty
rone, whither she had bumped her way on "a
freight train in company with a tramp, and
was there arrested and made to disgorge
twenty-five dollars of the money, the other
fifteen having passed into the possession of
her masculine companion, who was not cap
tured. T he other articles were not recover
ed, because she did not have them in her
possession ami it was not known at the time

We had the pleasure last week of receiv
ing a visit, only too brief, from our esteemed
friends. Prof.' C. o. Uurg and lady, of j
i Wheeling, W. Vii., formerly of Ilolli'-bys- i
, burg, .vim are spending their vacation from
college duties among relatives and friends in
and aiM.ut Oaliitzin. Mr. and Mrs. lturg are ;
, among the most talented and accomplished
teachers and musicians whose friend-hip we
have the pleasure of en jo ing, and not uufre- !
pieiitiy in former years have our columns I
been enriched by contributions from the !
gifted pen of the lady in question, whom we ;
have known only to esteem from earliest
childhood, and who we hope will give us v hat ,
we are sure will he a readable sketch of her .
! no doubt enjoyable visit to relatives and
friends in and about Oaliitzin.
Our good friend and true, Joe H. Oadd,
of Wyandotte. Kansas has our thanks for a
special invitation to ! present on- Saturday
evening last at the dedication of a Democrat
ic wigwam iu that city, and had it not been
for the want of time and money we would
; have made the piigi ini.ige with pleasure, es-
peeiallv as one of ( ambi ia's most gifted sons,
Hon. Thos. P. Fenlon. of Leavenworth. Ks.,
'spoke a piece" on the oecasi .;!. and more
esjH-eially beeaus-.i a little Pennsylvania rc-
, union with our friend and bis excellent wife
would have loen exactly to our liking. Mr.
(iadil assures ns that Wyitndotte has a large
I and enthusiastic Hancock and English club,
which numbers among its members many per
sons who have heretofore acted wi'h the l.'e
, publican party. And so it goes all over the
count ry.
! With sincere regret we chronicle the
death of Miss Annie Farrell, daughter of our
, worthy old friend John Farrell. l'ormerij of
I 'oncmau''h borough, who died at the Homo
of her father in Tyrone on Thursday last, of
lung disease, long since contracted, aged
j about li years. She was, as the Altoona
. very appropriately remarks, one of the
most highly esteemed and beloved young la
dies in Tyrone, anil her loss will be deeply
felt by all" the members of the family, as well
. as by a large circle of relatives and friends,
; to whom she was greatly attached. To her
bereaved father, who afways manifested a
great affection for his children, and especial
ly for the stricken one. her early death can
not but prove one of the saddest afflictions
be has ever Im-cu called upon f; bear, albeit
there is e cry reason to 'ieve that his loss
is her eternal gain. That liod may grant
. rest to her soul is our earnest prayer.
We noted briefly in these columns last
week that Dr. W. H. Sloan, of Chest
, Springs, was robbed in Altoona, a few even
. ings previous, of a gold watch and ten dol-
)rs in money, but if the Carrolitown AVtr is
not misinformed lie fared even worse than
we nail any intimation or, as tr.at pr.por says
j he was waylaid while in that city buying ;
drugs, knocked down and roblied of his gold
wat.-h, worth Jig."., and his pfx kct-book, con- !
taining JT-i in cash and a number of valuable !
pajw-rs. The same paper also avers that the ,
; Doctor had his ankle dislocated and was ;
ctherwi.se injured. The Altoona Tribune
Monday copies the aWvo statement, and ;
adds: "An Altoona gentleman who saw the
performance says that the doctor was lying
; on Twelfth street, east of the biidir": that
, be was picked up by some man and h- lpcd (
to Tenth avenue. The man then reaied hiui
; against the fence and robbed him, but did '
i him no bodily harm."
We regret to learn that a silver watch ;
nnd a twenty dollar bill wore stolen from
the residence of our amiable friend. John
; McCormick. of Summerhill township, on
, Tuesday night last. Entrance to the house '.
: was gained by removing the lower sash of j
one of the windows, after which the thief,
who. like bis victim, scents to have a weak-
ness for greenbacks, made his way stealthily !
: up stairs, and passing through a room occn- i
1 ied by a lad in Mr. McCormick's employ,
i finally" invaded the sleeping apartment of i
that gentleman, and. after rilling his pockets, ;
just as quietly took his departure without i
disturbing amy of the household. Who the ;
midnight marauder was is of course un
known, no clue whereby to identify hii.i ;
having been left b hind, but we understand ;

charge of the church ataliilin and fill as
best be could the place made vacant by the '
appointment of the venerable and beloved ;
Father Ryan to the pastorate of St. John's j
church, Altoona. Having made tliis an- j
nonncement for wbicli his people were to I
some extent prepared by intimations from I
other sources. Father Boyle bade his eongre-
gation a brief but affectionate farewell, and j
it is needless to say that alt hough the parting ;
was not unexpected, it fell with a crushing !
weight on the hen its of all present, while I
many an eve moistened w it li teais of sincere 1
! 1(
ret when they realized that the bonds of I
- love and sympathy which have so long exist
ed between pastor anil people were about to
, be sundered We are free to admit that it is
contrary to the wishes of the Reverend cen-
tletnan himself, who is the very porsonitica
i tion of modest v and unobtrusive merit, that
: anything more than a men
miiouneement of
his departure should be made by us, but try
; as we may we cannot refrain from still
i further adding that ever since Father Boyle
came among us lie has enjoyed in an eminent
! degree the veneration and love of his people
and the respect and esteem of all classes of
the community. That the former, at least,
' will not let another week goby without man
ifesting in some more tangible shape their
appreciation ot himself as a man ar.d of the
gre-it good be b?s accomplished as their
spiritual guide and director, we have good
; reason to believe, nnd that Cod will bless and
; prosper him in his new lield of labor is, we
; aie sure, the earnest prayer of many a sin
i cere heart. Who his successor
to be has
; not yet been ascertained, though westill hope
1 to be able to announce the appointment in
. the present issue of our paper.
P.AH.N AND ('(INTENTS DESTUOV F.D 11T
Fun:. large, new and valuable barn own
ed by Mr. William Hunmhreys, a Cambria
township fanner who resides about five miles
south ot this place, was burned to the ground,
with all it contained, about midnight on Sun
day last. Mr. Humphreys had completed his
wheat, rye and a portion of his hay harvest,
and as a "consequence the bam was weilfibed
with the products of the farm, though it is
probable that the ?:;o!i insurance which he
had on bis crop will not fail very much short
of covering Ids loss so far as tlie grain and
bay is cnncei n-.d, and with the exception of
the barn, which was insured bir fT' in the
same company, but can scarcely be replaced
for the money, there was little else destroyed
by the flames. How the conflagration origi
nated is one of those things which may never
be found out, but as Mr. Humphreys is 'posi
tive in the assertion that neither himself nor
any member of his family had occasion to go
to the bam after dark, and of course could
not have taken any light there, the only con- I
elusion to be reached is that the tire was
caused by six.ntaiieoiis combustion or through
in.- . men ssuess .., .iu..,n,s., ...
who had no business on the premises, l.eiiig
ol
locr.ted some distance olr the main road, it
don't seem likely that any of toe tramping
fraternity had a hand iii the burning, and
hence the opinion that some chicken thief
accidentally set Hie barn on fire strikes us as
not an improbable thcoi y. Mr. Humphreys
has the sympathies of all in bis very inoppor
tune loss though the hope is entertained that
the Sl.w.o will not fall much shoit of repay
ing the damages.
