The editor of t he Republican Oitxling
wants to prove that the (losliim is not
Republican lMcase it does not do the olti

that get that work. tltmUwjH are often
not worth raising, and besides if they got
the bllicial printing it would be a dead

The Ligonier postoftice was entered by
thieves 011 Wednesday night who blew
open the safe. The thieves secured about
$'iO and destroyed stamps and other valu
ables amounting to 1K). The glass in the
front window was broken and the. iit-igh-Inirs
were aroused by the crash. Women
screamed and In a khort time the opu

"promptly extinguished before much dam
age was done. There is no clue to the

Adam Llngenfelte r, a coal minor aged
forty-live years, of Somerset, had his head
and Uxly fright fully burned and lacerated
by mi explosion of forty pounds of blasting
powder iu a watch shanty at Hoover's
mine on Tuesday. Liugoufelu-r was
found in the snow twenty. five feet from
the shanty, with the flesh torn from his
head and right arm, and his breast
and shouhieis, charred by powder. It Is
not probable that he will survive, and if
he docs he will be blind.
If feet or hands are frost-bitten keep
away from the fire, but thaw them out iu
a moderately warm room by applying s, low
er very cold water. When the frost is cer
tainly all out, soak an hour in water as hot
as can l borne, containing all the powdered
alum that it will disolve. This will draw
the blood to the surface and re-establish
circulation, and there will not be chilblains
or soreness. The hot water and alum
bath Is also the best cure for the soreness
and, swelling thqt follows frqst bites not
properly treated.

That there are large veins of coal un

that heroic efforts were made the building

turned back and took a fresh start for Eb

A Prntail Lady.
The young woman in Relleyue hospital.
New Yoik, w ho gave her name as Marga

maternity liospital in East Forty-fifth
street. v The coroner found that she died
-from the effects of a criminal operation.
She left her home laxt week and no trace of

Miss Cresswcll was a daughter of the
late Colonel John Cresswell. Jr., a promi
nent lawyer aud Democratic politician,
belonging to one of the oldest families in
central Pennsylvania. In l!.V. Cresswell

Margaret Foster Cresswell tad a high
standing socially. Sim was a graduate of
the Preece physical Culture College, of
Rochester, J. Y.. and at one time taught
physical culture iu a fashionable private
school in Altooua.
Her mother and two sisters reside at
Cresswell station and are distracted with
grief. They possess no Information be
yond what has been furnished them by
the press representatives. The mayor of
New York has been notified to bold the
body for identification, and friends have left
for New York for that purpose. Mjiss
Cresswell possessed a lively and agreeable
disMsitiou and had many suitors.
M iss Cresswell was born and raised in
Hollidaysburg, but of late yenrs b,as re
sided at Cresswell. She Js 32 year uf age.
When living there she was luoked up to as
the leading; lady In society, and also tbe
handsomest young lady the town could
prod lice. In attract! yepess sjie was beau
tiful, refined, an excellent conversationist,
aud well educated, being a gradual o.f the
Hollidaysburg ladies, seminary.
The author of her ru.in. id believed, tq be
a Ktair county buolucsu man who has
skipped the country. He U quite wealthy
and more than one young woman Is said to
haye been ensnared by hiin.
Half a dozen piominent men of A'toona
and Hollidaysburg ate hinted at In con
nection with the girl's death, but as the
dead woman carried her secret to the grave
the guilty will probably never be located.

The editor of the Republican dotting,
who has been somewhat more mentally
disturbed ever since the Fkkkmax under
took to print the ballots for the late elec
tion than formerly, has not accepted the
Fkkkm ax's proposition, made last week,
to take ten thousand sheets of ballot paper
at $4.t'i8 per thousand, the price the (nt
lin'j alleg"d the ballots were printed for in
Indiana county. Wind is the 0mlinfa
great forte, but wind will not purchase
paper.
The (Jonll)ig started out with the idea
that the ballots could lie printed for tl.'.M
per thousand, then after a week's reflection
concluded it could do-the job for "-. ), and
anything over that would be robbery, and
last week concluded that was the
proper figure.
In discussing the ballots we haye chased
him through Allegheny. Iudiaua aud this
week he U In Rlair county, and he now
threatens to "wash his hands of the
matter." It may be as well for he has
proven conclusively that he knows noth
ing about printing ballots.
Hereafter he will confine himself exclu
sively to telling about his great establish
ment and his immense paper cutter the
largest in the county purchased out of an
Altooua scrap pile for 4t.
PrMtf Now Raaal Law,
Representative Nesblt, of Allegheny
county, has presented In the legislature a
bill which provides that thirty days after
the passage of the act the court of common
pleas In each county shall appoint a com
petent person for a term of three years to
serve as a county superintendent to be
elected afterward as other county officers
are. The bill also provides as follows:
"Evory tow usbip shall elect in February
three commissioners for terms of one, two
and thret years, and afterward one each
year for a term of three years. These
shall elect three of their number, who with
the county superintendent, shall consti
tute a board of directors to Investigate
road and also be a board of viewers for loca
tion and vacation. The township commis
sioners shall meet the township auditors
the first Monday in March, and appoint an
outside person as treasurer, who shall levy
a tax not exceediug 10 mills for road pur
poses. Every male taxable worth 1:0
f hall work one day on the roads under the
proMr superintendent or pay iu cash.
The commissioners of one township may
join with those of another In the ponst.rucr
lion of roads or bridges. An.y stt appro-?
