Local runners who entered the foot races were beaten by John Batson, the negro flyer. Thursday the Rescues returned home, having had very poor luck in the races, and the First Wards went on to James town, N. Y., where they found a town of 35000 people at the outlet of Chau tauqua lake and all were taking a day off to entertain the firemen. The But ler boys stopped at the New Sherman House, the best hotel that has ever fallen to their lot. That afternoon there was a parade which lasted three hours and Friday the races, as follows: 300 yd. Hose race, £175, SIOO. £SO.

Armstrong Co.. last ( Saturday. Mrs. Wm. Flick, and her son i and daughter, were overcome by black- j ! damp, in a coal mine, and died shortly: j 1 and John Wilson, a miner, was not ex- , pected to live. The story of the death of the three members is a peculiar one. j Early in the morning John Flick went j into the mine. He was to have returned at noon. The family waited dinner on i him for some time, and then thinking 1 that he had forgotten the time of day, sent Nellie into the mine to ask him to come home for dinner. Nellie had gone into the mine but a short distance when she was overcome by blackdamp. The frmily waited some time for the son and daughter to return, and then fearing that something had happened to the son and daughter. Mrs. Flick started in search qf her two children. Sometime elapsed and she did not return when 1 the alarm was given. Miners flocked ( to the mine from all around, and volun-, teers were easily found to enter and j search for the lost members of the j family. John Wilson, who belonged to j the rescuing party, was overcome by the j deadly blackdamp, and is in a serious j condition. The 1 todies of the three members of the Flick family were re- j moved from the mine, and taken to i their home. The bodies were found only a short distance apart, all having been overcome by the blackdamp. IsELJGMAN, ✓ 416 W. Jefferson St., * MERCHANT*TAILOR; v'/ Full kine of Foreign and Domestic Suitings.
