The frreen-paiDt*d hoaae on the hill • aboye ReiboM station, built by Rer. J. 0, 1 Critchlow and ocmpied for the past eight ye&rs by W. J. Cappeau and family, was the scene of a tragedy last Thursday even ing—Thanksgiving. The familv had a i arty at the house that evening and among those present was James StofFer, aged IS years, son of John Stoffer. an oil producer The companj were sittinn around the room talking and watching yonng Stoffer and the station agent, Harry Smith, plaj ing checkers at a table, when Gerard Wright, a stepson of Cappeau. stepped up behind Staffer, with an old hatohet concealed under his coat, and without any warning whatever dealt Stoffer three blows upon his head before, he could be interfered wi'h. Wright's sister (or haif-sister) one ol the Miss Cappeaus who tried to stop him. had a finger nearly cut off by a razor that Wright carried in his lelt hand. Then Wright dropped the : atchet, and 1 taking the razor in his right hand cut his own throat, before anyone could realize what he was doing. He fell against the wall, was dead in a few ■ minutes, and was buried Saturday morn ing. He was 23 years of age. Esq. ' Schilling was called upon to hoid an in- ' quest, but did not deem it necessary. Young Cappeau or Wright has never been ' considered of sound mind. He and young ' Steffi*/ had been quarrelling for some months, and Stoffer had got the best ol < him at their last set-to. He had sworn , vei gance and Stofler's presence in the i house that evening threw him into a lenzy. j His mother feared trouble and hid every- ( thing about the honse she thought could | be used as a weapon; but he secured a ra- < zor upstair-, and then went to the barn, j where he found an old and dull hatchet ( which he supplied with a handle, and then ( returned to tne house, locking the uoor i after he passed ia, and passed through the 1 crowd and attacked Stoii'er, without warn- j ing. stoffer'h skull was r.ot fractured and j at last accounts he is recovering.

Mrs. James Portei and her nieeo were thrown from their buggy on Main St, a few days aeo, and Mrs-.* Porter was cut about the head. Henry Whfir, a Pittsburger, while out hunting in Winfield twp , la-t Monday,lo.-t his right hand. Wheir was thoughtiesr ly holding his double-barreled shotgun oy the muzzle The p : eee was discharged,the heavy charge passing through the young man's hand. Herman Pearson, a Swede residing at Coaltown, a coal miner, committed|suicide Tuesday by drowriag himself in the south branch of the Slipperyrock, about one and ->ne halfe miles lrom Gomersal. Early in the morning Pearson called at the Gomer sal coal mines and tried to secure employ ment but failed. When the body was re covered 3G was found on it. Willie Knittle, a 7-year-old South«de lad attempted an experiment with his father's fowling piece, last Sunday, while his parents were absent and may lose an eye. The little boy having poured a large charge of powder into one of the barrels of the gun, dropped a lighted match down upon it and looked down the muzzle. It is feared he will lose his sight. Paul Filgns a son of August Filgus, of Oakland twp.. had a hand nearly blown off by a shot gun, last Monday. On his way home from the coal bank he saw a rabbit, and called out to two boys with a gun regarding it. The rabbit ran under a bridge and the ooys stood their gun against a fence and ran down and chased !it out When it came out Paul reached over the fence and took hold of the gun by the mnzzle. It was discharged and the whole charge passed through his hand. Dr's. Graham and Bippus removed 25 pieces of bone, and Paul will probably lose the use ol his hand forever.
