An Old Iron Firm in Trouble.
Tast Tuesday morning judgments
to the amount of $80,118.02 were entered
in the Prothonatary’s of the Curtin Iron
works at Roland, this county. Ex-
ecutions were issued and put in the hands
of the sheriff. It 1s greatly to be re-
gretted that this misfortune hus over-
taken one of our oldest and best known
industrial firms. The members of the
firm have the sympathy of all right
thinking people in this community.
We further learn that an assignment
has been made to ex Governor A. G,
and Constans Cartin, uncles of the young
men who compose the firm and that the
liabilities amount to $200,000,— Watch.
man,
The reported complete failure of Cur-
tin & Qo, is not so bad as reported and
will not result in the shutting down of
those valuable works but only a few
days suspension which time they take to
arrange their somewhat embarrassed
financial standing. The liabilities are
not near so large as stated in the Daily
News on Thursday, namely $200,000, bat
instead, are only $80,551.75. The an-
nouncement that there had been an
assignment made was also premature as
it was only judgment confessed in favor
of several parties to the amounts as they
were entered and appeared against them

The above is a correct statement of all

A Pennsylvania Antiquity.
Just across the line between Centre
and Clearfield counties, and located in
the former is probably the most re-
markable prehistoric fortification in the
United States, It is seven or eight miles
eastward from Houtzdale, and is located
near the headwaters of the Moshan-
non, and burrows into the mountain side.
A growth of timber indicates its antiquity,
It is a semi-circular wall, possibly 800
feel in diameter, about eight feet high
and bailt of stone, evidently transported
from a ledge fifteen miles distant. The
ouler surface is covered with a curious
cement of a composition unknown to
local chemists. The masonry is of a most
artistic order, and indicates an archi-
tecture belonging to some race and
period wholly unknown to the present
generation, Commencing near the
{ ruined wall and running southward is
| a series of stone pillars, evidently used
as altars in some forgotten age. They
pumber some six or eight in all, and
despite the work of vandals, are yet
distinctly marked, some of them being
from six to eight feet high. They are
small stone pyramids, facing every possi-
ble approach to the rains, and were evis
dently intended as defensive ramparts
behind which the builders might find
shelter and protection.
Cleary Must Hang.
The motion for a new trial in the case
of Charles Cleary convicted of the mur
der of policeman Paul, in Renovo, had
been denied by the Court and has been
sentenced to hang, The Court ordered
the prisoner to stand up.
After some kindly remarks to the
young man, the Court then proceeded to
| pass sentence upon him in the following
i words:
“Charles Cleary, the sentence of the
Court is that you be taken to the jail
from whence you came, and on the day
appointed by the governor, yon be
haoged by the neck until you are dead.
May God have mercy on your soul.”
Cleary received the sentence calmly
showing no emotion, whatever. His
face flushed, perbaps a little more than
usual, but that was all. He walked out
of the conrt room with the Bheriff as
| composedly and independently as ever,
| Poor boy! he has yet to fally realize
| what is before him.

A Railroad Change.
A special meeting of the stockho der

was held yesterday morning in Phila.

It was decided to consolidate the two
roads under the name of the Penn-

| January 1, 1890. The capital stock of the
new company will be $1,600,000 and the

a slight increase in both the capital stock
and bonded debt of the company. We
are informed from a reliable soarce, that
