The Telephone War.
Tbe People's Telephone Co., a local
organization, war granted the use of our
alley* by Council tome tbne ago. and here
lately, when the Hell Co,, or central dis
trict' Telephone, Telegraph and Printing
C» wanted into the town, the Council
granted them the u*e of certain streets,
including Fulton St.
The Hell Co. hauled t'leir poles to that
street last week, anil dug holes lor them,
and then some ot the citizens of the street
who Jo not wish telephone or telegraph
poles on the street signed a petition to
that effect and secured a temporary in
junction restraining the Co. from further
proceeding until the case wa.-; heard.
The case was heard Saturday afternoon
and as a deleot was found in the papers ot
the petitioner they were withdrawn,
which dissolved the injunction.
The Co. next morning put a force at
work on the street, put op the pole*,
strsng the wires, and connected them with
a phone on that street —and thus the mat
ter rests,
Whother or no there will be any further
proceedings in this case, or anv further
trouble remains to be seen.
The Bell Co an 1 Western Union Tele
graph Co. are practically one and the s%me
thing, the two companies will use the same
poles on our Main St , the telegraph wires
being strung above and the telephone be
low: they give good service, and the gen
eral public wants competition in this
service as in any other.

NEIGHBORKOOO NOTES.
While a daughter and sister of Mrs. Mil
ler, ot Climax. Armstrong county, were
out gathering Mountain tea. the former
was horror .-tricken on learning that a
large copper-head was curled up directly
in front of her While picking tea she
jerked her hand back with violence, ex
claiming 1> her companion that something
had scratched her hand She made the
second effort iu the same .-pot, anil receiv
ed a like shock. She investigated the
matter, soon ascertaining that »he had been
bitten by a huge snake, as the nasty ser
pent laid before her all ooil<*l up. She
hastened home, and a doctor was summon
ed at once, who soon had her out of dan
| ger. The citizens went in search of the
i snake, and were not long in killing five
iarge copper heads. Tbe one that she was
b tten by measured over three feet in
length.
An infeotions disease known as dnurine,
; or e |nine syphilis, exists among the horsts
in the neighborhood of Cool Spring. Elev
en horses are infected with the disease.
Secretary of Agriculture Edge and State
Vetinarian Leonard Pierson were there
several days ago and made an examina
tion. Several of the affected animals aere
taken to Dr. Bethayne's Veterinary In
firmary in Punxsutawney. The disease
was new to everybody and Dr. Bethuyne
had never seen a case of it himself, but he
pronounced it dourine, and when the Stare
Veterinarian returned last week, be con
firmed Dr. Bethuyne's diagnosis.
P. J. McFarland, proprietor of the Com
merc'al hotel, Greenville, has been arrest
ed on a charge of bigamy. A woman
claiming to be hi-« legal wife, accompanied
by her little daughter arrived in Green

about seven years ago to go to Liverpool,
but sailed for this country. From some

about two j ears ago.
Milton Phillipi, of Somerset county,
while sinking a shaft for ooal near hie home
a few day* ago, a blast threw up petri
fied head an,! about live feet of what was
once an enormous snake, probably somo
cpetiesof water snake that inhabited the
seas that covered this portion of the con
tinent no one knows how many thousanl
3 ears ago. Mr. Phillipi says that the head
of the hugb reptile is as large a; a man's
head, and the portions ol its body recover
ed are as thick as the leg of au ordinary
adult person. Unfortunately the speci
men was broken in several pieces. It will
be hauled to town shortly tor exhibition,
and probably later on seqf to the .smith
sonian Institute or the Carnegie museum
at Pittsburg, to be placed permanently
among the collections of its kind at one of
these depositories.

WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN
ZELIENOPLE!
The Glowing Future of the
New Town has Started a
Scramble for Water
Works and
OTHER FRANCHISES!
Advance Signs of Prosperity that are
Stirring up Both Capital and Enthu
siasm.
Zelienople is sure to have tine water
work J and an electric light plant in the
very near.futcre. Two bodies of capital
ists are already contending to build, own
and operate a water works adequate tor
both the old and the new town.
Construction of the new industries con
tinues to go on rapidly. Tho w ills of the
grinding and mixing mills tor the big
Black ham Works are already up. and the
foundations are in for the company's other
huge structures
The five different manufacturing enter
prises will require not less than 5tK) work
men, but there is much anxiety as to
whether there will be homes sufficient to
house the families of the workmen who
will be employed in the new industries,
since there are no empty dwellings in the
old town and no provision has been made
for the immense in flow of people that
must necessarily come early iu the fall.
But the Zelienople Extension Company
has everything in readiness for its first
public sale ot lots, commencing July 15,
and will eucourage immediate, numerous
and rapid building of homes by keeping
the prices and terms of lots away below
the prices and terms at which good real
estate was ever known to sell.
Two of the new industries have orders
alrsady booked, and must keep everything
moving at a lively rate in order to got in
position to fill them.
It is said that lots will not be sold at the
very low prices to any who wish to buy
solely for speculation
There must be room and home* for 8,000
additional people, and it will take wonder
ful hustling to provide them; for even now,
when there is virtually no manufacturing
in Z-lienople, homes are not to be bad.

AN AUCTION SALt
in the N Y Wholesale Dry Goods
centre is quite a different afiair
from one around here—there
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of one kind of goods are
sold in a few hours.
There were two auction sales
there a short time ago, on two
successive days, and we attended
both of them and bought largely
on account of the character and
quality of the silks and the prices
they were sold at. As a result
thereof we submit the following—
greatest values ever offered to any
people:—
Black Broche Taffetas, 23.J in
ches wide, 50c. —such extra wide
and good silks as half a dollar
never bought before.
Five lots choice silks:
Black Satin Dnchesse,
Black Faille Fraocaise,
Black Satin Rhadame,
Black Peau de Soie,
Black Gros Grain,
—all at 50c a yard—silks with
tone anil character like the dollar
kinds.
Plain Black Habutai Silks. 24
iuches wide, 25c.
We hope you will send for
samples of any of the above goods
you are interested in—such goods
at the prices should hold interest
for every woman—and you'll get
them by return mail, and they'll
prove if what we've said here
doesn't—that they're the most
desirable silks equal money ever
bought.
