NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
The Punxsutawney Spirit says |
considerable excitement has been cre
ated iu llinggold township by the |
supposed discovery of a silver mine ,
on the farm of John Gcist, near the
grist mill of Eii Buck. For some j
time a mineral resembling silver '
has beeu noticed in the ro;ky
ledge along the run. Little attention
was paid to it until recently, when j
a small piece of the ore wits sent to j
an ussayer in Pittsburg, wuo reported j
that it was the genuine fit nil', aud j
that a tou of similar would Yield |
S4UO worth of metal. The territory \
will be developed.
One night last week as a young I
gentleman and lady, of Brushvaliev |
township, Indiana Co, were going]
home from a party, they received a ;
friirht which made the hair of their
heads assume a perpendicular atti
tude. They were jogging aloug slow
ly, as young people will who attach
ed each other, when they were sud
denly confronted by what they sup
posed to be a couple of dogs belong
ing to their neighborhood. The ani
mals were not disposed to get out of j
the way, when the young man struck 1
oue of them with his cane The ani- j
mul jumped back, ultering an ugly |
snarl and it's teeth could be plainly
heard gnashing. The animals stood
at bay when the lady suggested to
her eseort that he light a match which
he did and was amazed to discover
that a pair of savage wolves were
standing within six feet of them. The
young man pulled oil his hat and
waviDg it toward the animals uttered
a yell loud enough to stop a watch,
when the wolves jumped over a fence
and diappeared iu the woods. To
say that their departure was welcome
to the young people scarcely expres
ses their feelings and they made all
possible haste to the residence of the
lady and the young man did not 'go
home till morning till broad daylight
appeared." An eflort will be made to
capture the animals.
An unusual incident happened in
the Warren Co., 0., court house last
Thursday afternoon. James Livia,
a prominent citizen, appeared as an
applicant for a liqaor license. Peti
tions for and against the applicant
signed by hundreds by persons were
presented by counsel. The Court had
just rendered a decision favorable to
the applicant when his daughter, a
beautiful young woman, who is Dep
uty Couuty Clerk, rushed into the
court-room aud, raising her hands,
begged an audience.
Miss Livia then made a most pa
thetic and eloquent appeal against
the granting of the license. For fif
teen minutes the Court and Bar list
ened spell-bouud to her words. Iu
reply to the statement that the peti-
lion against grauting the license was
signed largely by women, she declar
ed that the right of petition granted
by the fundamental law of the laud
belonged to women as well as men.
When Miss Livia eat down the
Court reversed its own decision aud
refused the license.
The License Court for Allegheny
county, which had been in session
for a month, reported the result of
its labors so far as they relate to the
city of Pittsburg, last Friday. Of
the 718 appplications 218 were grant
ed, The others, with the exception
of about 60, which were not disposed
of, were refused. The Court is hear
ing applications for the rest of the
county. It is supposed that it will
complete its labor in another week.
The buildings of the Leechburg
foundry and machine company were
destroyed by fire lately. The disas
ter is said to have been caused by
workmen who were extending the
gas pipe. They opened a four inch
pipe and allowed the gas to escape
until it filled the building and was
ignited by the lights. The loss will
be between $40,000 and $50,000; in
surance $17,000. Several serious
accidents occurred and there were a
number of narrow escapes from death.
The pattern maker had time only to
throw his tool cheat out of the win
dow and jump after it. The compa
ny will rebuild at once.
A few months ago a young lady
from Butler county was visiting a
family in New Castle, aud during her
stay in this city received the constant
attentions of a business man to whom
she became engaged to be married.
A short time after her return home
this same man was married to anoth
er woman which fact the girl learned
from the papers, and the sudden reac
' tion of her feelings induced a severe
illness from which she has not yet re
' covered. The young lady's friends
t advise a prosecution for damages, but
as yet no legal action has been taken.
Hugh Shannon, Cashier of the
Pittsbug and Western R. It., and al
so of the Western New York, and
Pennsylvania It. lt..at New Castle,
mysteriously disappeared last Satur
day week, and further than that he
was seen in Pittsburg on that even
ing, nothing can be learned of his
whereabouts. Auditor* of the two
roads arrived in New Castle Monday
afternoon and are examining the ac
counts. Nothing as yet has been
found wrong, though the back ac
count is yet to be examined. Eight
thousand dollars in bonds was found
in the safe secure. He was under
$5,000 bonds, secured by tho Fidelity
Safety Company of New York.
Shannon went to New Castle from
Franklin, Pa., about five years ago,
and has been iu the employ of the
company ever since. It is alleged he
dabbled in oil. Agent Celligan re
fuses to talk about the matter, but re
ports are in circulation that Shann
on's accounts are iu bad shape. The
New York Uuaranteo Company is
on his bond for a large amount.
Shannon came to America about nine
years ago a poor boy from Ireland,
but being a good accountant, found
no difficulty iu securiug a clerkship,
from which position he worked him
self up to that of Cashier.
A large barn on the farm of David
Black, in Slipperyrock twp„ Law
rence Co., burned to the ground on
Wednesday afternoon of last week
A number of farming implements and
a quantity of grain were consumed by
the flames. Fortunately no live stock
was burned. The origin is a mystery.
It ix said that there was an insurance
of SI,OOO on the burned property.
At Greensborg, Pa., an unusual
event will take place to-morrow, be
ing the celebration of the 100 th anni
versary of the founding of the Pres

Churches that have reached the cen

promises to be a most interesting one.
Cook, the horse thief, who escaped
from the Clarion jail by knocking the
warden down, has been reeeptured
and returned to jail. It was to him
that Harry Worthington related his
story of the murder of the Everhart
family. He will be a prominent wit
ness against Worthington, who is
now also located in Clarion jail.
General Notes.
Mr. Jacob Sharp, the New York
boudler baa oeen released by death.
Last summer a crank obtained li
cense of the Burgess of Clearfield to
to sell pictures in the town. While
so engaged a member of the council
ordered the police to arrest the man.
The fellow claimed that he was an
English subject and bad the borough
authorities arrested and bound over
for trial in the U. S. court. From the
first it was knowu the fellow had not
a ghost of a chance to convict, yet ihe
Council had to appear and make tie
tense. The case was promptly kick
ed out of court at the cost of the pros
ecutor. So far so good. But when
the borough came to toot, up the ac
counts, tbey found numerous orders
had been issued to pay the members
of tho council for their expenses to
Pittsburg, amounting to sli>7 .and
$023 for attorney fees. There is the
tallest kind of a kick on the part of
tax payers, and we are not much sur
prised.
Miss Susan B Anthony, the most
famous old maid in America, who
took a leading part in the Woman's
International Council, ia Washing
ton, is in her 69th year. She is of
(Quaker ancestry, and, though bora
in Massachusetts, was educated iu
Philadelphia. Her earliest public
efforts were in behalf of the temper
ance cause. Since 1852 she has been
one of the leading spirits in every
woman's rights convention, aud has
been the acting secretary and general
agent of woman's rights agitation
through all these years.
Much sickness is now charged to
the sudden changes of temperature.
Later on it will be attributed to im
pure cellars and the garbage in the
back yards.
Fearful destruction of animal life
occurred iu East Mahoning township
last Tuesday night by the burning of
the large barn of J. 0. Richardson.
The fire occurred about 9 o'clock at
night while the family was all away at
an entertainment. Five head of ex
ceptionally line horses, fifteen head of
excellent cattle, aud twelve head of
sheep were burned alive. A lot of
grain, hay, farming implements, etc,,
were destroyed. The fire had reach
ed such headway before it was dis
covered that it was impossible to save
the animals, the bellowing and bleat
ing and neighing of which, iu their
frantic efforts to escape tho awful
death that awaited them, was heart
rending iu the extreme. The barn
| Was a valuable oue, and the loss of
the contents alone would reach near
ly $2,000 The loss of the barn is
partially covered by insurance. The
origin of the fire can be explained in
no other way than by attributing it
to an iuceudiary.—lndiana Messen

One man in Fayette county, Pa.,
has a thousand maple sugar trees oa
his land, from which he made 1015
gallons of niitple ayrup this year, sell
ing it at ( J5 cents a gal 100, or about
$1,021 for the crop. A farmer who
ppares and takes care of his sugar

makes more money from them, with
less labor, than from hi 3 grain crops.
ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Declared Adulterated Food and
their Sale Illegal.
The result of a triil just conclu led
at Cauton, X. Y., before Judge Kel
logg, will have a salutary effect in
checking the sale of ouo class of adul
terated food. Two men, uaaied M >on
and Akerill, were arrested for selling
adulterated baking powder in viola
tion of the State food adulteration act.
The indictmeut was for both selling
baking powders that were inferior,
adulterated and injurious to health by
reason ot being made from alum, and
for selling them under pretense that
they were a wholesome, cream of tar
tar baking powder. A stubborn de
fense was made, the claim being set
up that baking powders were not ar
ticles of food aud that the powder the
defendants were selling, which was
known as Gillett's, was a standard
article of trade, aud that alum baking
powdars inferior to it, like Davis' and
others, were being sold by other deal
ers in the saroo town without com
plaint. The Court held that baking
powders were articles of food within
the meaning of the law, and the jury
found the defendants guilty upon all
the charges. The case haß attracted
much attention from being the first
brought under the State Food Adul
teration Act against dealers in almn
baking powders. The result of the
trial is to class sach baking powders
as adulterated articles of food aud to
make their sale illegal. There are
many alum baking powders put up in
cans, under some name or brand, in
addition to those sold in bulk, the
sale of all of which cautious dealers
will probably be unwilliug to contin
ue.
—The owners ofgrape vine 3 should
see to it that they are trimmed with
out delay, if that importaat work has
not been already done. It will be
too late when the frost is out of the
ground, a3 the sap starts early and
ti vine trimmed when the sap is run
ning will be permanently injured, if
not killed.
A Good
5 and 10 cent store is a blessing to a
town. Many little articles that you

Of Interest to Pensioners.
Congressional House Bill No. 4339
is a measnre that direetly interests
quite a number of veterans in this
County and has already been the oc
casion of considerable correspondence.
It provides for the pavment of back

arm or limb in the United States, to
be based on the present rate of pen
sion received by the applicant.. For
iastauce: If a peusiooer is now re
ceiving $25 per month, the amount
due would be computed at that rate
per month, dating from the time of
his discharge, and he would receive
the whole amount, less what has al
ready been paid.

butcher named Joseph Tradiski. who
has been very prominent iu Polish
circles, eloped to-night with Mrs.
Yolkavitch, the widow of the mur
derer who was haaged here last
Tuesday. They had been engaged
since the conviction of Yolkavitsh
last September and agreed to get

opiniou was so strong that they were
afraid to defy it. They left quickly
for Pittston to night, and will be mar
ried there to-morrow. The woman
took with her the watch and chain
stolen by her late husbaad from the
body of bis victim, John Bioski.

Last evening James McCann, a well
known and popular young man, went
out driving with a lady, using his

found that he had not retured, and
upon going to the barn the horse
was found standing still
hitched to the buggy,
which contained the dead body of the
young man. His neck was tast be
tween the irou bracing of the seat and
the heavy top, which had fallen down.
Death bad been caused by strangula
tion. The Coroner's jury returned a
verdict iu accordance with the facts.

—The Warren Mirror says:
Young gentlemen, this is leap year,
and the young ladies are supposed to
have the rights that generally belong
to you. Now would it not be a good
plan for you to go into eharch and
listen to the sermon and allow the
girls to stand around the door like an
awkward squad of blamed foola wait
ing for you to come out ?
Several merchants in this county
and in our neighboring counties have
recently adopted the cash system, an
nouncing that they will give no cre
dit to any one. It is gratfying to
kuow that things are progressing
towards a cash basis among all class
es, and when the system becomes un- !
iversal newspaper men will always
be found iu a good humor, neither
will thoy sweur auy more. The cre
dit system has ruined many a man.
—The "fishing sociable" is some
thing comparatively new and bids
fair to be all the rage this summer. It
isn't the kind of fishing sociable wo
have been in the habit of attending
on the banks of the Slipperyrock, but
is a great improvement on that affair,
and is about as follows: This being
leap year the ladies hold the rod. The
ladies occupy one room and the other
—which is supposed to represent a
fishing pond—is occupied by the gen
tlemen, each of whom has a string
tied to his right hand. These strings
are passed through the transom and
tied to a chair. Each lady selects a
string, and whoever happens to be on
the end of it is to be entertaiued by
her during the evening. Ordinarily
the club meets at a hotel, where a fine
supper has been ordered and the lady
not only entertains her "catch" but
pays for bis supper. That sort of a
sociable is bound to be popular with
the young meu.
Oysters All Summer.
Fresh oysters can be had all sum

in town, to get a good meal or lunch.
