Fire in the Jail.
Wednesday evening last at about
,'clock the alarm of fire was given
citizens crying in the streets,
eople came rushing from all diree-
tions to ascertain where the fire was
located. It was soon found to be in
the jail. Investigation showed that a
straw tick in an upper cell had caught
fire from some cause or other, perhaps
from a pipe, as there weje several
prisoners in the cell. The cell was
full of smoke. A few quarta of water
quenched the fire. Res of this fire,
a lot of scared people, ,and a hole
burnt in an old straw tick. Fifty to a
hundred men had assembled ou the
outside of the jail.
DIED.
fFrom the St. Marys Gazette.
On Sunday Nov. 12, 1882 at the re
sidence of his father near the village
of Beneeette, Bryon J. Jones, son and
only living child of Hon. Julius and
Polly Jones, aged, widely known and
highly esteemed citizens of Benezette?
Deceased waa about 40 years old and
leaves a wife and sou to mourn his
early death. Funeral services were held
Nov. 14tb, at the house, Rev. W. H.
Norcrous officiating. The circle of
mourners waa small, father, mother,
wife and child, were all that are near
of kin, but deep sympathy waa unmis
takably manifested in the countenau
' ces and deportment of a large assem
blage of solemn, thoughtful neighbors.
The remains were followed to the grave
by a procession of about thirty vehi
cle and one hundred and seventy-five
people, mostly advanced and middle
aired citizens: All that id mortal of
Byron Jones now rests in a quiet urn
at Lick Hill cemetery ; His spirit is in
the hands of a just and merciful God.
In life he was kind and good to all his
associates; by bis unselfishness we are
reminded of the interview of Jeanie
Deau with Queen Caroline which
closes in these words, "But when trouble
comes and when the hour of death
comes, that comes to the high and low
Then it is not what we have done
for ourselves but what we have done
for others that we think on most pleas
antly."

Elk County Teacher Institute.
Teachers, School Directors, and
Friends of Education : The Sixteenth
Annual FiesMott or the Elk County
Teachers' Institute will be held in the
Court House, Ridgway, Pa., begin
ning ou Monday, December 18th. 1882,
at 8 p m. ahd cloning on Friday
December 22nd, 1882,' at noon. It Is
with pleasure we announce the pro
gram for the next annual session of
our Institute. Every teacher whether
professional or inexperienced feels the
need of the mental and social stimu
lus of these annual gatherings. Our
Institutes thus far have been well at
tended and thd interest taken In theni
has bordered on enthusiasm nnd that
our next gathering shall lack none of
the old time fervor,but rather show an
increased zeal Is our earnest hone.
Much In the past has been done by
our Institutes for our schools and teach
ers. From them we have gleaned the
richest gems of thoughts upon all sub
jects pertaining to our professional life.
The most erudite and gifted lecturers
of the land have been present upon
these occasions thrilling us with their
eloquence and leading us Into broader
fields of knowledge by laying before
us the results of their research. The
Teachers' Institute is beneficial, trans
fusing life and character into every
department of our school work, giv
ing teachers, directors and people
higher ideas aud better thoughts in re
gard to all important educational sub
jects. It is elevating in a social point
of view aud promotes harmonious ac
tion and good fellowship among the
co-laborers in a common cause. It is
true that our Institutes, like other
creations of the finite and mortal, are
not altogether faultless. We simply
promise to do our best and being
made wiser by experience at home
and abroad we should and will make
each succeeding Institute better than
the former. The coming session will
be second to none ever held by us. It
is true that we are not personally ac
quainted with all the talent engaged
but to employ only those Individually
known to us, would be a preposterous
notion. Before closing arrangements
with any of our workers however we
made diligent inquiry concerning their
competency. They are pronounced
good in their special spheres and with
out forebodings of any failures we un
reservedly introduce them to Cyou.
The work done will be of the most
practical character. We have done
our part aud nothing but a faithful
preformance on your part remains to
be done. Will not all teachers attend?
Be enrolled the first day and be found
iu the seats assigned you at every ses
sion.
Remember that Deputy State Super
intendent Henry Houck wishes to
shake hands with every teacher in
Elk County on Monday evening.
His grasp Is warm and hearty and his
words encouraging, you will' not soon
forget tnein.
Ilpspectrully,
Geo. R. Dixon, Co., Snp't.

Fire!! HOLIDAY GOODS!!! Fire!!
Fire is a good servant and also a good
thing to clean up old stock. Every
one in Elk county knows that ours
was thoroughly renovated on the
morning of Sept. 2'Jth. No old, pow
erless Inert drugs or patent medicines.
No old-fashioned, shop-worn Fancy
Goods in ours. After many vexatious
delays we are afloat again. Siuce the
fire we have made two trips to the
eastern cities gathering up a new stock
of Drugs, Chemicals, Patent Medi
cines, &c, which will soon be as com
plete as before the fire. We spent eon-
siderable time in looking over all the
novelties in Holiday Goods (and they
are ninny) and caretully selected a
stock which for Variety, Elegauce.
Utility and cheapness will not be ex
celled anywhere. The salesman for
the largest house in that line in Phila
delphia paid us the compliment of
saying we had "ordered the finest and
best selected stock of Holiday Goods
shipped by them thia season outside
the city," and they "could not fail to
sell to a critical, tasty and discrimi
nating trade." We know by experi
ence that we have in Rnluwavand
vicinity a trade who appreciate fine
goods. We have catered to the Holi
uay trade tor many years and can
truthfully say! that for variety and
elegance our present stock far sur
passes jiuy we have everoffered before.
And although we will labor under the
disadvantage of not having as elegant
quarters to display them in, this wilt
be more than balanced by careful selec-
lions ano variety, vve invite our
friends to call and see our goods and
look over the novelties. Will be glad
to nave all come whether they buy or
not. Will welcome young aud old
and although we need your help and
patronage (and appreciate It too), will
not rely solely on your sympathy, for
which we thank you, but are well
aware that the natural Inclination of
everyone is to buy where they are best
served for the least money. And shall
endeavor in the future as in the past
to merit your patronage, and have you
feel that while you are extending a
kindness to us you are serving your
own Interest as well. We may be
found between the court house and
Mercer's meat market, on Court street,

Dispatches from Washington under
date of Nov. 26 and 27, give accounts
of the shooting of J. A. Wllmot, by
his brother-ln-law J. P. Angey, whom
ninny of the citizens of Ridgway will
no doubt remember. The shooting
took place at the St. Mnrc Hotel on
Saturday tiight. :0ne of the four bill
lets fired by Mr. Ahgey at Mr. Wil
tnnt pierced the lungs of the Inttcr and
bo was taken to the Providence Hos
pital. It Is thought he will recover.
Angney was nt once arrested and. is
now iu Jail. He says that be Is the
traveling agent of the Equitable Life
Insurance Company of New York for
the western district of Pennsylvania,
with his headquarters at Pittsburg
He avers that many years ago Wllmot
swindled him out of $30,000 on a real
estate trahsactlon, ahd that he propos
ed to him a criminal enterprise in
which he refused to join. Because of
this refusal Angney says Wllmot
wrote letters to the Equitable Com
pauy that created a prejudice against
him. The company threatened him
with dismissal unless he could prove
the falsity of the accusations, and he
came here to procuro a retraction from
Wilmot. The latUr, It Is said, admit
ted the untruth of his statements, but
declined to retract them. In the dis-
pute that followed revolvers were
drawn, and Angney -claims that he
fired iu self-defense. The story told
by Wilmot is in direct variance with
Angney's. Wilmot nays he was shot
because he refused to Indorse f 30,000
worth of paper that his brother-ln-
iwa desired to use iu oil speculations.
Washington. November 27. The
Pennsylvania Insurance agent, Aug'
ney, who shot his brother-in-law,
Wilmot, at the St. Marc Hotel, Satur
day evening, was arraigned in the
Police Court to-day, but owing to the
critical condition of his victim, the
preliminary hearing was postponed.
Subsequently the prisoner was taken
to jail and placed in a cell, adjoining
that formerly occupied by Guiteau.
Advices from Providence Hospital,
where Wilmot was taken after the
shooting, represent his condition as
critical, the wound in his lung being
considered the most dangerous. Aug
ney expresses no contrition for his act
but, as lie puts it, I am only sorry
that I did not kill Wilmot outright
It's enough to drive one mad to think
what I've suffered at his hands. He
threatened to kill me a number o
times, and I was afraid of him. My
letters to my wife were intercepted
and destroyed and all communication
between us broken off. He is a gamb
ler and a villain, and has been
engaged inj a number of fraudulen
schemes, among which were the Real
Estate Trust and Loan Company and
the Five Cent Insurance Company
He was put under bonds for attempt
lug to shoot his wife's mother, and
can prove a number of swindling
operations on his part in New Jersey,
and because I refused to become bis
accomplice he has done his utmost to
ruin me."
Burglary in Clarion.
Rrookvllle Republican.
Sometime during the early hours of
Wednesday morning of last week,
burglars entered the store of A. V. &
C. F. Corbet t, In that place, and car
ried away money, goods and notes to
the value of $3,000. The robbers forced
open the double doors Jof the ware-
room with a jimmy. Passing through
they cut out a panel of the door lead
ing into the store, and reaching
through they turned the key in the
lock, from the inside and went in.
Their first attention was given to the
vault. A hole an eighth of an inch
in diameter was drilled through the
vault door close to the dial, and so as
to escape all rivets, bolts or metals on
the inside and open into the inside of
the lock, showing themselves profes
sionally acquainted with their busi
ness. Powder was blown into the
apperture and a fuse set it off. The
work was neatly done. The inside
cap of the lock was blown off and
a slight twist of the wrist on the
kuob threw back the bolts and the
door opened. About $'200 In money
belonging to the firm was taken; Lan
G. Corbett lost about $200 and notes
amounting to $2,000; J. A. Albright
$150; A. K. Page $15 in gold and some
bills, and the individual members of
the firm small amounts. The papers
in the vault were all looked over and
scattered over the floor. Full suite of
clothing, dress goods, overcoats, silk
handkerchiefs, cigars, etc., were taken
amounting In value close to JtiOO. The
goods were loaded into a wagon and
hauled away. The ground was frozen
and there is no clue to the direction
taken by the thieves, nor uny suspic
ion as to who they are.

A Renovo telegram says that a sad
and fatal accident befell Mr. McClcllan
Wertz, son of Mr. Thompson Wertz,
of Shintown, Wednesday morning.
He, with several companions, was out
on a deer hunt on Hughes ruu. About
eight o'clock Mr. Werz and John Den
nison were leaving the cabin their
headquarters in the woods : the former
going outside first, discovered that he
had forgotten; his gloves, and turning
around, he called to Dennisou to build
them out; while doing so he (Denni
son) had his gun In hand, and from
some cause it was discharged. The
ball, which was of large calibre, enter
ed the abdomen of Wertz, a little to
the left of the navel, and apparently
lodged in the spine near the small of
the back. Dr. Hull was called to the
case aud rendered all aid possible, but
the wound was a fatal one, a'nd the
young man died Thursday, after lin
gering and suffering over twenty-four
hours. Deceased wns nearly twenty
one years of age, and was considered
by all who knew him as a steady and
cleverjyoung man.

A Miracle;
Whenever there is an extraordinary
occurrence a team runs over a child
without hurting it: a mechanic falls
from a third-story window, and lu a
week after he Isat work again, we are
want to exclaim, "what a miracle!"
So when Mrs T. S. Ererline, then of
Allegheny City i Pa., had been sick
with Consumption for a very long
time, had been told by several of the
best physicians of that city that her
time was but for a few hours, that she
must die, and when the use of but one
bottle of Peruna in a week's time
placed her ou her feet again and made
her the heartest eater of the fumily, all
lhe people around, as with one rejoic
ing voice, exclaimed. "What a won
derful miracle!" See page 30 of the
"Ills of Life. ' Your Druggist will
