A Thanksgiving Tragedy.
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.
CHURCH NOTES.
The St. Paul's Ev. Lutheran church;
Emery, Knox and Fiske, M. E. churches;
and Buffalo and Westminister, Presby
terian churcbos, assembled in union s-r
--vices, Thanksgiving D.*', unanimously
passed the following resolutions, viz:
That we tender our hearty thanks to
President Cleveland for his very appro
pnale and impressive national Thanksgiv
ing Proclamation, aud especially do we ex
prers our sincere approval of the recogni- <
tion in it ol the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Pastors.
Rev. Miller, of the Grace Lutheran
preached a special sermon for the Junior 1
Order, last Surnlay evening He is. not a i
member of the order himself, but ho ex
borted the members present to be true to 1
themselves, the Bible and the Nation He t
thinks the Brotherhood of Man, if correct i
ly understood, would do asva7 with selfish \
trusts aud monopolies; and that tne man «
who leads a daily life of pnrity is a better
exponent of patriotism than the noise of 1
tin horns, blare of red-fire and confusion.
Living Photography.
Edison calls his invention in this line the
"Vitaooope" the French Eieclrcian calls his
the "Ciuewatograpbe," and the one that
will be used in our Opera House tonight
and Saturd-y nigh, a called the "Cinemet
roscope,'' but no matter what.it is called,
this living or moving photography is a
wonderfm thing. You are made to
people, animals, water etc moving as
in daily life.
The old time pictures with their lack of ]
animation, dependent upon the eli '
quence of the lecturer are insignificant
by the side of this uew discovery
and the lime is coming it, would seem
when the oinemetroscope will be a feature
ol every illustrated lecture,and thedi.-crip
tionsof scenes, foreign and domestic, will
be made more real by the life that may be
thrown upon the screen. But this time is
lar off and iu the interim, when the oppo
rtunity _is so near to study this great work,
it would seem that wo were doing a ser
vice in giving the advice we do, which is
to view this invention while you have the
opportunity.

ACCIDENTS.
j Alfred Black, a son of Dr. Black of But
| ler, was thrown from a horse in Cherry
twp, last week, and had a shoulder dislo
cated.
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.

HERE'S A CHANCE!
We are giving gilt-edged
chances right and left this week,
in all lines. In dress goods, for
inscance, we have cut a whole line
of imported novelties, and a line
of high grade checks and cheviots
and velours, which have always
cost $1.25 to $2.00 a yard, and
marked the whole lot at
fifty cents a yard.
This includes some of the best
lines we have sold.
What do you think of getting
David and John Anderson's
Scotch Ginghams, in rich dark
colors, for a yard?
What do you think of getting
choice fancy silks, the dollar-a
yard silks, for
60c a yard ?
VELVETS, TOO- • • •
The best of velvets, whirl* we
have rightly called bargains at $2
and $3.50 a yard, are costing now
$1.25 a yard.
It is a big clearing out we arc
having.
If it's a jacket for the daughter
or lor the'wife, you can save your
car fare by coming irp and buying
of us now. Stylish tailor-made
boucle jackets worth ten dollars,
cost $5.00.
Silk-lined misses' coats of the
very swellest design which were
selling at $1 o, sl2 and sls, cost
SO, $8 and Jfio. If you can't
come up, ask for one to be sent
on trial.
Why are these so cheap? Be
cause we are getting room for the
greatest display of I loliday Goods
we ever carried. Our store is
worth visiting now, just to look
at, if you like to look at pretty
things.
We do business by mail, very
well. Write us for a catalogue.
