shelter when one of the girls walking be

struck by lightning, the bolt striking her
ou the hack of the head and running down
her back, melting the steel iu her corsets,
and running down her right leg tore the
eyelets out of tho shoe, aud tearing the
shoe up generally; thence through the left
shoe at the iustep, making a very small
hole and burning tho left foot about the
size ol the palm of the hand.
The shock rendered her unconscious for
several hours, but she is recovering and
will be about as usual irv-a few days.

A Temporary Embarrassment.
The capital stock of the Standard Plate
Glass Works of this town is $750,000, and
it has a bonded indebtness of $220,000.
The company has lately increased and per
fected its plant, and by doing >o has in
curred a floating or unsecured indebted
ness of $300,00 i). which it proposed meet
ing by increasing its capital >to<k to the
actual value of ita plant, which now runs
over a million dollars, but the late finan
cial embarrassment of the Treasurer of the
concern, Mr. W. E. Schmertz, of Pitts
burg. has reacted npon this company, anj
it suddenly finds finds itself short of funds
to meet current obligations; and so <.u
Wednesday of this week, .fudge Llazen.up
on the application of J. G. A Win. Camp
b ell of Butler, who furnished casting* for
the new buildings, appointed I), E. Wheel
er receiver of the company with full au
thority to take possession of and manage
said works, and fixed his bond atsso,ooo.
Mr. Wheeler, the manager, and Mr.
Howard, the Scc'y. both file statements
setting forth about what we have stated
above, and also that the stock of finished
and unfinished plate glass on hands is
worth about $109,000. The works will
continue in operation as heretofore, and as
the plant is now a very perfect and profit
able one, it will probably weather the
storm.

their usual success.
The following testimonials from

After one week's use of the Home
Comfort Range which we have teßted
in its various capacities, I find it an
excellent baker and saver of fuel, and
believe it to be an article of great
durability. I have no hesitation in
commending it to the public.

I have no hesitation in adding my

I have tested it and speak from ex
perience I find it to be in all respects
just what is claimed for it, an excel

L. GLENOE.VNINO.
I would say that if anyone desires
to purchase a first class range, I
should buy a Home Comfort. I set
aside a cast iron stove after four years
use for which I paid a dealer at
Mercer forty-five dollars. My Home

given absolute and prefect satisfaction.
