In rehashing some of its news items
of 30 years ago the Tidioute News finds
this one among the rest. It is bard to be
lieve now, but as it was history writ
right on the spot there's no denying it:
'Up to last Saturday 201,741 pigeons
have been shipped from Sheffield. Prob
ably nearly as many have gone from Tio-
nesta, while some 40,000 have been
shipped from Tidioute. Over half a mil

An observant exchange calls attention
to the very patent fact that the appearance
ol a town has much to do with its success
or failure commercially. People are at
tracted to a clean, well kept town to make
their homes, while they will pass up
a slovenly kept city in disgUBt, Neatness
about your borne, too, adds to its com
mercial value. A well kept lawu, neatly
painted buildings and abutting streets
and alleys free from debris and filth, will
make your property more saleable if you
wish to sell it, or more attractive if you
wish to keep it.
The body of J. II. Jennings, a butcher
at Warren, who mysteriously disappeared
a month ago, was fouud Suuday in the
Allegheny river a short distance below
the P. R. R. station, by some boys, clear
ing the mystery which has so long sur
rounded the case, and in which foul play
was strongly suspected at one time. The
man disappeared on the night of March
31st last, and was last seen near the rail
road bridge. His watch bad stopped at
10:22 o'clock , indicating the hour at which
be bad fallen into the river. All his
money, f 158, was found on bis person,
and as there were no marks on the body
to indicate that he had been injured, it is
evident the drowning was accidental.
I'lie coroner's Jury returned a verdict to
this effect.

DIED FROM HIS INJURIES.
Cruel Fate Pursues a Good Man Unto
Death.
Miles H. Harriger, of Mayburg, this
county, was so severely Injured on Sat
urday evening between three and four
o'clock that death resulted on the follow
ing Sabbath morning. He was employed
at tbe "bolter" saw in the mill of the
Watson Lands Lumber company, when
a slab was thrown over the saw, striking
him in the side. He did not consider
himself so badly injured as to be unable
to walk to bis home, but bad to be bauled
after walking about half the distance.
Physicians were summoned but the ex
tent of bis injuries could not be deter
m I ned by outward appearances, there
being but a slight bruise where the mis
sile struck him. Sunday morning he
seemed to feel better, but in less than an
hour afterward be began to sink and
death followed almost Immediately. His
wife, five daughters aud two sons survive
bim. He was aged 48 years, and was
born near Scotch Hill, Clarion county,
where the funeral was held yesterday.
Ever since Mr. Harriger came to May
burg, five years ago, be seems to have
".struggled in the storms of fate." Twice
since bis residence In tbe place bis fool
was caught while on a lumber dock and
bis ankle badly smashed In each instance.
Hardly had be recovered from the last of
these injuries when he fell off a high
lumber pile and was badly injured. A
year ago or more bis house was destroyed
by fire and one child was burned to
death and another so severely burued
that ber life was despaired of. A few
months later be met with an accident
quite similar to the one which tcok his
life on Saturday, being struck by a slab
thrown over tbe bolter saw, tearing one
of his kidneys loose and fracturing sev
eral of his ribs.
Fate has also dealt harshly with other
family connections. Mrs. Harriger is
one of three daughters ot Alexander
Wallace of Leeper, Pa. The husbands ol
all three women have met violent deaths
within the past few years. Tracey Liud
sey was run over by a run-away logging
car on Little Coon creek, and bis bead
severed from the body. Arthur Frost
was another victim of a tragic death,
having lost his life in an accident while
employed on the saw mill at Loleta, Pa.
He was also struck by a bolt thrown from
a saw. And now Mrs, Harriger is called
upon to mourn tbe death of her husband
in a tragic manner, making the third In
the family connection fo meet a violent
death. Surely these coincidences are
very striking.
Mr. Harriger was a member of the
M. E. church of Mayburg, and was the
teacher of the Bible class la tbe Sabbath
school. He bore in a high degree the
respect and esteem of bia fellow citizens,
who sympathize deeply with bis stricken
family. He was also a member of the
National Protective Legion, and of the
Maccabees, In which latter order he car
ried insurance to the amount of $2,000.
Takes Carbolic Acid nud Dies.
John G. Bigony, a citizen of this bor
ough for a number of years, committed
suicide last Wednesday by taking car
bolic acid. He bad returned from War
ren on Sunday evening prior, and bad
been suffering for several days from ex
treme nervousness. About 10:30 oclock
in the morning be procured a 2-ounce
vial of carbolic acid and went to his bed
room at bis home and immediately swal
lowed almost the entire contents of the
bottle. Hearing an unusual disturbance
his wife rushed up stairs and found her
husband writhing In agony, discovering
at once the cause. Physicians were
quickly summoned, but they were pow.
erless to slay tbe fatal effects of the pow
erful drug, and at 12:00, less than two
hours alter be bad swallowed the acid.
tbe unlortunate victim breathed bis last
John Bigony was born at Troy, N. Y.
Oct. 7, 1801, being the son of Mr. and Mrs.
II. W. Itigony, deceased. His parents

Fire at Tylersburg.
Tylersburg was visited by a tire last
Thursday night, wbich destroyed the
Central Hotel barn and a barn adioinimr.
owned by Wm. Morgan, and it was only
after a desperate light against the fiery
elements that tbe balance of the vlllsue
was saved from destruction. The fire
was discovered at 10:30 in tbe hotel barn,
which was a building 50x70 feet, substan
tially built, and one of the landmarks of
tbe place. The ringing ot the Presby
terian church bell aroused tbe whole
neighborhood and soon a large force was
on hand to fight the flames, The women
oined In the wmk and pumped the
water from tbe wells of J. F. Mealy and
Chas. McCloskey, while the men formed
a bucket brigade and fought the fire until
2:30 the next morning before it was under
control. When the roof of the hotel barn
fell In the Morgan barn burst Into a mass
of flame from the terrific heat. Considera
ble damans was done to property to the
north and west, across the street. A
dwelling bouse owned by Joseph Mc
Closkey and tbe olllce of Dr. Lee O'Dell
were on fire several times. Nearly all of
the glass in the front of McCormick A
Mealy's store, in the Odd Fellows build
ing, was broken by the heal. The flames
were finally checked at a small building
on the north side of the street, owned by
J. R. Alt, which was badly damaged.
Had the fire gone beyond this uothinit
could have saved the town. The hotel
barn was owned by G. C. Millar and his
loss is placed at fSiMI, with an insurance
of $200 Kmert Bros, lost five tous of
phospt.ate and M. Wallers two buggies,
which were stored in the barn. Mr.
Morgan's loss on his darn, which was a
building about 24 x 32 feet, is estimated at
$300, with no insurance. The origin of
tbe tire is verv mysterious and is believed
to have been caused by an incendiary, as
no person was known to have been in the
barn after nightfall. A man who lives
near the barn declared that everything
was all right live minutes belore aud
when discovered the whole interior was
on tire.
