With his left arm pinioned oetween a two-inch belt and an over-head pulley on a shaft revolving at a speed of 200 revo lutions per minute, Edgar E. Altfather was hurled repeatedly against the hard ceiling iu tiie basement of a flour mill, operated by his une'e, H. D. Altfather, in Ursina, on Monday of last week, until tho arm finally neparated at the elbow and his body fell to tbe floor a bleeding and shapeless mass. The bones in both legs were broken, while the flesh of bis limbs was torn to shreds and was spat tered over the machinery and walls of the room. Several of his rib were abio broken. 11. D. Altfather was on tho first floor of the building, aud hearing the strange noise rushed to the room below, where he found the unfortunate young man in the condition described, but still conscious. He had not uttered a cry of pain or alarm and, when told of bis con dition, expressed a desire that he might die. lie w as carried to his uncle's resi dence, where three physicians were soon in attendance, but could do nothing to save the sufferer's life. His nervouB sys tem had been shocked to such an extent that he suffered no pain from the time of the accident nnlil death came at 4:30 the same afternoon. Upon his return from dinner young Altfather had gone to the room in w hich the accider occurred for the purpose of grinding an adz. Hesuceeeded in sharp ening the blade and was in the act of throwing off the belt thst operated the grindstone when his arm was caught by the belting and he was dragged up to the shaft. II is watch stopped at 1:00, in dicating the exact minute at which the accident occurred. Deceased was twenty-eight years of age and was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Altfather, of Brothersvalley township. He was an exemplary young man, and his sad death has caused general sorrow throughout the community where he was born and where he resided until he removed to Ursina. The body was taken to Berlin for inter ment the following Wednesday. A short time before his death, Mr. Alt father had filed an application for life in surance in a well known company. He had been favorably reported by the physician who made the examination and the policy had been written and was in the hands of the company's agent for delivery on the day the fatal accident oc cur""!. He Wants Damage. C. B. Parker, a traveling salesman for a Pittsburg pickle firm, had an experi ence at Rockwood, a few days since, says the Conuellsville C'ourier.that he does not recall with any pleasurable feelings. Iu fact, he wants satisfaction for the indig nities heaped upon him and has employ ed a Pittsburg lawyer to bring suit for damages. Parker was standing on the platform of tbe Baltimore A Ohio railroad station at Rockwood, waiting for a train, when he was arrested by a local constable on sus picion of being "Kid"' Murphy, a high wayinan who hail escaped from jail at Johnstown. Parker protested at his ar rest and made offers to identify himself, but the officer would not listen, and, sum moning a car inspector, handcuffed Pat ker and led hint around town in search of a justice of the Pesu-e who should com mit him to prison. A Justice was fiually found attending a church service, and was called out. After hearing Parker's story he refused to have anything to do with the case. In the meantime a large crowd had collected and many of them sided with Parker. Tbe constable got nervous and made another reference to the dispatch he had received advising him to be on tbe watch for"Kid" Murphy. In this it was stated that the fugitive had a deep scar on his forehead extending down over his eye and ou his cheek. Parker in no manner corresponded to this description. The constable finally decided that it would be best to let Parker go. That did not satis fy Parker, and he has asked his attorney to sue for damages. Daafnen and DUcharge From Ears. In no class of diseases is there so much "puttiug nfl till a more convenient sea son," or more damage caused by delay, as in diseases of the ear. As you value your hearing, tend to it as soon as the least failure is noted, when it Is as easily cured as other ailments. Maggie Barbick, Etna, Pa., had a most agonizing pain in her right ear, the result of an old neglected trouble causing a very large polypus to fill the ear tightly. She consulted Dr. Sadler, 801 Penn Avenue, whose skill in diseases of the ear enables him to secure satisfactory results in every case. After removing the growth his treitment removed all inflammation; stopped all discharge and offensive odor. Such cases, neglected, lead to destruction of the bones in the ear, inflammation of the brain, and death. CATARACT BLINDNESS 112 Successes In 115 operations.

Quite a stir baa been raUed among the farmers of Westmoreland aud Indiana i counties because the roller millers have firmed a combine and have decided to hereafter give only thirty-three pounds o'straight ll.iur and foil i teen pounds of lran mid middling", in.-tead of thirty-six pounds of il.sir and foortfen of bran sud middlings, a heretofore exchanged. The Westmoreland farmers discussed the mailer at Pcnouia Grange meeting in GreeuslKirg Saturday afternoon and evening, and the following was adopted: Whkhkas, The County Grai ge in con vention assembled, learns with much sur prise and great regret of a combine by the roller millers of the county, who propose (according to a letter iu our possession), on and after November 2, IsiC, to extort thirteen pounds of toll (instead of ten pounds, as heretofore taken) out of every sixty pounds of wheat; therefore, belt Rtsohvd, That we condemn this action to take three pounds more toll to every bushel of wheat as unjust and unwarrant ed, and we call upon the members of onr various Granges and the farmers of West moreland County generally not to submit to the imposition of the so-called roller millers' trust or combine, as tbe toll rate heretofore has been high and abundantly sufficient. Tt appears that tbe question was first agitated some time ago by the roller mil lers of Indiana County, who formed an organization on October 22d and issued a circular calling upon the millers of adjoin ing counties to assist them in carrying the increased toll-rate into effect.
