Here's a boom town for you—Jeannette, Westmoreland county. Four years ago its site was barren. To-day it is a town of 7,000 people, with a dozen great manufact uring plauts employing nearly 3,000 work men at wages ranging from $1.50 to sl2 per day. There are $1,500 buildings in the town, GOO of them brick. Natural gas did it, for the reason that glass manufacturers find it the best fuel for theirpurpo.se. The people of Jeannette ought to be proud of their boom. Their paper, the Oaily Dis patch, tells of it in an entertaining and graphic way, covering twelve pages in the undertaking. Six children were born on an emigrant train between Salamanca,N. Y.. and Kent, Ohio, one afternoon recently. Consternation has been created at the State Insane Asylum by the arrival of a patient who practices college yells for hours at a time. Considerable speculation has been caused in Lawrence county by the survey and lo cation of a new railroad which is to be built Accidents. During the storm of last Thursday, light ning struck the house of Alfred Sipe rf Claarfield twp., and Mrs. Sipe was instant ly killed. She was a daughter of Jacob Fennel. A daughter ol a Mr. Jackson of Parker, aged three years was so severely scalded by the overturning of a cup of coffee a lew days ago, that death ensued.
