Scott White of North Beaver township Lawrence Co., had a horrible experience while hiving bees Monday at the home of his brother-in-law, William Clarlc. The bees had swarmed on the limb of aii apple tree and White climbed the tree to saw off the limb. He had aot taken the precaution .•covtr his face aud as soon as the bees discovered him they attacked him. Rendered wild with their stints White dropped to the ground. The bees followed literally swarming on his head until nothing could be seen about his face but the black moving mass. He tore them off with his builds as he rolled farther and farther from the tree. There was no getting rid of them except by squeezing them to death and after rolling and fighting for almost half a mile, White finally got his coat off and wrapped it about his face. The poison from the bee stings began to take effect and soon his face was swelled so that the skin was almost bursting. Friends who had witnessed the fight carried White to the,house Where over 100 bee stings were picked from his face. He is in a critical condition. The I'eiiiaylituiia Railroad's Popular Excursion.* to the Seashore. $lO foe Twklvk Days. No other Summer outictf api eaU so strongly to the people of W eastern Penn sylvaaia as the Pennsylvania Hailroad Company's popular excursions to the sea coast of New Jersey. For years they have been looked forward to as the holiday events of each Summer, and every season bas seen them grow more popular. The reason of the gteat favor in which they are heid is easy to see, The rate of $lO for the round trip is phenomenally low considering the distance and the high charac erof the service; the limit of twelve days just fits the time set apart for the average vacation, and the dates of the excursions are most con voniently adjusted. There is also the widest field for choice in the selection ol the resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Sea Isle City, and Ocean City are the choicest of the Atlantic coast resorts, anfl <uiy eme of them may be visited under thu»*> arrangements. The dates of the excursions are July 23, August C and 20, and tie rates will be as follows: Pittsburg, airaßutler, $10; pro portionate rates from points. A special train of parlor ears and day coaches will leave Pittsburg on each of the above mentioned dates at 8.55 A.
