coffer* of unaorupulous merchants. The
Department in aeif-defense, is seriously
considering the propriety of dHolding that
vinegar shall not be colored eioept by the
legitimate prodaot of distillation or fermen
tatlon. The manufacturers usualy sell the
oolored distilled and wine vinegar* for
what they really are bat the unscrupulous
retail grooer and dealer too often sells
them to the ansaspicioas citsen as the
legitimate prodnot of the orchard. One
dealer ia the interior of the State has been
detected In makiqg "pure older vinegar"
from molasses and water, and i* compelled
to face the oourt and tell why this was
done. The washings of the steamers whioh
transport sugar aud molasiea in hulk are
made into vinegar at a cost of iesi than

Suicide of Daniel Shehan.
J Daniel Shehan. of Kairview Ave., Ist
| ward, was fount! lying dead in the woods
near the Kittanning bridge, yesterday
afternoon. He had shot himself in the
mouth and left breast—after haring his
breast for the purpose. A coffin was sent
out, and the body was brought to town
and prepare-', for burial, and then taken
to his home.
I'p to January last, Shehan was an em
ployee of the polishing department of
the Plate Works, but showing signs of
mental aberration was taken to Dixmont.
where he remained for about two months
and when discharged was supposed to l>e
I sane. His ailment however, returned
and he was taken to a hospital in Pitts
i burg from which lie returned last Satur
day.
He has beer, loafing around town
since and has been talking of taking his
life. While at the glycerine factory a
day or so ago he is said to have sat down
u]K>n a can of the stuff and asked the
boys to shoot into it.
He was about 38 year? of age and
leaves a wife and five small childreu
An Exciting Dog Chase.
On Sunday morning. May 31st, the at
tention of W. S. Moore of Muddy creek
twp., was attracted by the barking of
two dogs, on the adjoining farm owned
by Robt. Moore. On investigating he
found two dogs chasing Robt. Moore's
sheep. Mr. Moore gave notice to some
of the neighbors as soon as possible and
they gave chase to the dogs,and although
the dogs were not more than tliree miles
from home they took a circuitous route
and the men had to travel over six miles
before they got there The dogs were
killed next day. The township has
lost between S2OO and S3OO worth of
sheep in the last five weeks.
