To the Editor of the Advocate.
Will you kindly allow me through
your columns to correct a statement
which appeared in last week's issue of
your "esteemed eotemporary" the Elk
licmor.mt. It is there stated that
"owing to some personal dilliculties
the Episcopal Sunday school lias been
closed" this is not true the Rector
of grace church, who is also superin
tendent of the Sunday school, is un
able at present on aeeou.it of impaired
health to attend its sessions, and as
the assistant superintendent was un
willing to take charge of the school
during his absence, he gave the school
a vacation until further notice. I would
alsostatein tlie same connection fort lie
guidance of the well disposed, and the
edification of the uninformed, that
the Sunday school held in the Presby
terian chapel last Sunday morning is
in no way connected with the Epis
copal Sunday school and has nothing
whatever to do with it also that the
services held there were unauthorized
and had no more connection with the
Episcopal church than any other ser
vices in town held elsewhere.
Emlenton Register: Thomas
Crowl, of Beaver county, was dis
charged, with his regiment, from the
United States service ut the close of
the war in 1805. He had served three
years in the army, and participated in
most of the great battles, escaping
without a wound. While on the rail
road on ids way home, a collision oc
curred. He was killed. He left a
wife and two children. The widow
subsequently married Jared Williams.
The stepfather was abusive to the
children. Three years ago, one of
them, a girl 10 years old, was turned
out of doors by him, after being beaten.
She drowned herself in a stream near
by. The other was a son, named
Peter. He was so badly treated by
his stepfather that he quit home and
obtained a situation. Williams carried
his prosecution of the boy to his place
of employment. Two weeks ago he
succeeded in having Peter discharged
from bis place. The boy returned
home and bade bis mother good-bye.
Saturday morning last, he was found
dead in a barn, half a mile away. He
had shot himself through the heart.
They were in Leadville, and when
they had finished lunch and asked

the old man behind the counter
straightened himself up, folded his
arms in a dignified manner and said :

I am staying out here for my health?"

Ridgway Not a Borough.
Time without number havo stran
gers, coming Into our beautiful village
aud making inquiries as to Itnbusincss
prospects, and future chances for be
coming an Important town, expressed
the greatest surprise when informed
that the place is not incorporated.
"Why," they say "this is the only
county seat in the State unincorpo
rated, while many much inferior vil
lages, in point of population, wealth,
and enterprise, not county seats have
a corporate stato of existence." Of
course when tills thing is thrown lti
our teeth wo are obliged to explain :
How the people have tried again and
again to have the grand jury recom
mend the petition for Incorporation ;
how the list of signers to Ilia petition
for embraced nearly all the names and
property in tho proposed borough,
while that against was signed gen
erally by men of little or no property ;
how several members of the grand
jury approached and almost entered
the gates of perjury. Aud all the
whys and wherefores of the long-continued
borough business. Of course
it would be much more satisfactory to
fay the Borough of Ridgway. We
hope when the petition is again cir
culated our citizens will sign at
once and give the project such a push
that it will go through booming
Make up your minds now gentlemen
and sign your mime, besides give all
your influence to tliecarrying out the
work to a successful end. All to
gether then and we will remove this
certain stigma from our beautiful vil
loge. What the majority of the citi
zens of Ridgway desire in this matter
shall he done. We believe a majority
desire to have the place Incorporated.
As far as The Advocate is concerned
we are for it without compromise.
Mr. Mil'er of the Democrat also as
sures us that he is heart, and hand for
the incorporation. There Is really no
opposition to the scheme among the
citizens of Ridgway, what opperates
against it is the political prejudice of a
few short sighted men residents of
outside places aud who really have no
business with the matter at all, except
that they sometimes chance to be on
the grand jury. The idea that a grand
jury should decide the matter is pre
posterous, the law that allows such a
thing should be stricken from the
statute books, and instead let an un
biased and unprejudiced court decide
the mutter. If the people of Ridgway
desire a borough why should they be
denied what is clearly their right to
have? A plain fact stands, however,
it is that no grand jury, miles per
jury forms part of their plan, can
justly on their oaths refuse to grant
the petition of citizens of a dace for a
borough where the requirements of
the law have been fulfilled. I,et the
rebukeof Judge MeDermott to a for
mer grand Jury stand as a lasting re
buke to all future grand juries: "Gen
tlemen," said the .Judge, "you have no
right to allow political prejudice to
bias your Judgment in the mutter of
recommending the incorporation of a
village into a borough." This point
we have quoted although the language
may not be the exact words used by
the Judge. How small those jurors
mu-t have felt who voted airainst the
measure solely on political grounds,
not only fur the degradation of self
but for the stigma they cast by their I
action on those faithful men, their
companions, who steadily voted in fa
vor ofa measure all knew to be just.
This subject is only touched on now,
but Tun Advocate will discuss it to
the bitter end, so long as a majority of
Ridgway's citizens uphold our hands.
The following Caledonia, Elk
county, items, we clip from the Drift
wood Gazette:
One of the pioneer drivers, known,
us Alex. Curr, was killed on Laurel
run on Wednesday of last week. An
old tree fell ou him while lie was
working on a log jam and killed him
instantly. No blame is attached to
any one. His remains were buried in
Pen field.
A fearful accident occurred in this
quiet little village on Wednesday,
June ltfth, and may be a word of
warning to all who read this note.
Miss Lydia M. Swartz, aged about
fifteen years, was working for a Mrs.
Rideout, a sister of the unfortunate
girl. Mrs Rideout was from home at
the time and Lydia got dinner for Mr.
Rideout, and after dinner was going
to iron. Rising from the table she
put some wood into the stove aud Mr.
Rideout went into the garden to work,
as the fire did not burn fast enough
the thoughtless young girl took the
kerosene oil can and poured oil on the
fire (better had she poured oil on the
troubled waters.) The oil ignited, and
exploded the can, aud threw the
oil all over the poor girl. She was in
stantly wrapped in flames. Her cries
brought Mr. Ridout to her relief,
within two minutes. But it was too
late. The clothing was all burned off
the unfortunate girl. Although
several men were at work within
twenty rods of the house, and were
eye witnesses to the tragedy, for she
run out doors the first move, before
they reached the spot her flesh was
literally cooked. Only their presence
saved the house from burning. Mr.
Rldeout's hands were feurfully burned
and the whiskers were burned off his
face in trying to save her life. She lin
gered in terrible agouy uutil Dr.
Sweirs arrived, and abjut four o'clock
he gave medicine to relieve the pain,
but told the friends she could not lust
long. Dr. Williams, of Centreville,
soon arrived, aud upon examination
fully confirmed the unwelcome report.
She lingered until about nine o'clock
the next morning, told her friends she
was not suffering, and that she was
feeling better. She was sensible to
the last, cheerful, and passed off with
out a struggle. She leaves a host of
friends who mourn her loss.

Fatal Accident.
(SI. Mury's Gazette.)
On Thursday evening last the citi
zens of our town were shocked with
the news that Albert Vollmer, son of
Louis Vollmer, had accidentally shot
himself in the woods near the farm of
Mr. Chus. Ritfcr, in Beiizinger town
ship. We glean the following facts
relative to the accident: About 11
o'clock on Thursday, Albert had fin- j
islied, hoeing potatoes, and he in-1
formed his mother that he would go
out and gather some strawberries. He
took his shot gun with him. He
started toward the windfall aud going
into the woods in the rear of Mr.
Charles Bitter's farm, he met two
young men who were peeling bark.
Ho entered into conversation with
them und while they were eating their
dinner lie chopped down a hemlock
tree, ufter which he took a scut upon a
log near where the tree fell, and wus
conversing with his companions, who
were peeling the tree he had just
fallen. He had his gun resting on
his knee. Some bark had fallen upon
the butt of his guu, but he paid no ut
tcntiou to it. When he was ready to
start he pulled the gun, with the muz
zle toward him, wlicu the hummer
caught on a piece of burk and coming
down the load was discharged, enter
ing his side a little below the right
nipple, about one-half of the charge
passed through his lungs and the bal
ance striking his ribs, followed around
und lodged in the muscles of the back.
His companions did what they could
for their wounded comrade, one run
ning fur Dr. Ilurtmuti, while the other
staid with the wounded boy. As soon
us assistance arrived a litter was made
and he was carried to his home where
he was laid upon his bed. He lived
ubout ten minutes after he arrived
home. The sad news wus u terrible
blow to the family of the deceased,
who have scarcely recovered from the
news of the sudden death of a sou
and brother in Colorado. Deceased
was about 17 years old, a hurd-working
uhd steady young niau. The
family have the sincere sympathy of
the community in their uftlictlon.
The remains of deceased were buried
in the Catholic cemetery on Saturday
morning at 9 o'clock.

Another Murder at Houtzdale.
Clenrfleld Republican.
Last Friday was pay day among the
miners in the Houtzdale coal regions,
and as a consequence affairs were a
little lively among the boys around
there. On Saturday night last, a num
ber of Swede miners hud collected to
gether In a place of questionable
character, when three fellows, Geo.
Evens, a Welshman, and George Hill,
an Englishman, and one other man,
whose name we did not learn, came
to the house ludicated and inticed two
of the Swedes out to a secluded place
and shot them, killing one, named
Hogauson, instantly, shooting him
through and through, with a revolver
while the other Swede victim was
shot in the body, the ball is believed to
have lodged in the region of the heart.
He was living at last accounts, but
will scarcely recover. We failed to
get the man's name.
After shooting the Swedes, the as
sailants rilled their pockets, taking
from Hogauson, the murdered man, a
pocket-book containing ten dollars
rind some odd cents. 'Squire J. B.
McGrath, of Houtzdale, acted as Coro
uor, empaneled a jury and held un
inquest on Hoganson's body. dipt.
Clark, of Osceola, and the Constable
of Woodward township, arrested Hills
and Evans and lodged them in the
Clearfield Jail on Monday to await
trial. The third one implicated is
still ut large.
The two victims, as also are the
prisoners, are young men, the two
latter being scarcely twenty years of
age.
This makes three murders that have
been committed at Houtzdale within
six months.
Fatal Accident ox Laurel
Run. Mr. Alexuuder Curr, aged
about fifty years, was Instantly killed
by a falling tree ut Laurel run, in Hus
ton township, on Wednesday of last
week, the 10th i list. Mr. Curr und a
crew of men, employed on the Cor
poration drive, under the superinten
dence of Wm. 'B. Robinson, were
breaking a jam of logs just below Par
ker's duni,on the above named stream,
and when the jam began to move, or
"haul," (to us a logman's word,) a
dead tree was crowded out of root by
the logs und fell, striking Curr on the
head, splitting ids skull and mangling
his body feurfully. An arm and one
of his legs were broken. The men
had started for a place of safety as tin
logs started, and one of them gave
warn lug to the deceased to get out of
the way us quick as possible; but just
as he looked up the tree struck him
the fatal blow on the forehead. Mr.
Curr was said to be a man of clever
disposition, and had worked in the
woods at logging for many years. He
was a native of the Province of New
Brunswick, and unmarried. His re
mains were buried in the graveyard at

of drowning occurred near Yeoman's
mill, in Euluhn. John Gibson living
near the mill, started to go to a field a
short distance from the house. His
little son, iiged two years, followed a
short distance, but was sent back .by
bis father. The little one returned to
the house, saying lie was going to see
his grandmother, who lives near the
tannery. He hud been gone but a
short time when search was made for
him. To reach the road the child had
to cross Digiuun run upon a log, the
wuler beneath being quite deep and
at the time roily. In searching for
him the parents, fearful that he might
have fallen into the stream, examined
this spot hurriedly, and were about
passing beyond to search in the brush
feeling sure the child had passed over
safely, when another person passing
by asked what they were looking for.
On being told of the missing child he
looked across the stream und neur the

child wus in the wuter less than ten
