At Trenton, last Saturday, some boys plaved Indian, and one boy was tied to a fence post. A heap of brush was piled about his feet, and one venturesome spirit lighted the pile at the outer edge. The boys then yelled and danced around the staked prisoner, and all the time the flames grew bigger and higher. One boy saw the flames gaining too much headway and threw what he thought was a cup of water on the fire. It was gasoline. With a roar the flames leaped higher. There was a scream from the little boy at the stake, and consternation seized the boy Indians. They fled in all directions, leaving their victim shrieking while the fire fairly ate him up alive. Passersby heard the awful yells of the boy. and", running to the lot. cut the fainting roasted child from the post to which he had been tied. He was unconscious. The little fellow died before they could get him to a hospital. A flock of quail allighted in the yard of Charles Balzer. at Beaver, last Thursday. Mr. Balzer shot five of the birds. Humane Agent Hiram McKee has brought snit against Balzer for kill ihg game out of season. The penalty is per bird. At a public sale near Blairsville late lv these prices were obtained: Hay brought $10.15 in the mow; oats, 2? cents per bushel in the garner; corn in the shock, but little better than f<«lder. 11 cents per shock; 6-week-old pigs, *4 per pair; chickens, from 25 to 80 cents each; good cows, $23 per head. A PROLONGED fight between the railroads and the steel rail manufac tures is now probable. The directors of the Carnegie Company learned that the princijial railroads at a secret meeting in New York had decided to pay no more than $22 a ton for their rails for next year. They at once determined to maintain the S2O rate named by the rail pool at a recent New York meeting. The Carnegie directors assert that they will not sell rails for $22 a ton, and that if the railroads will not pay more they will have to make them themselves. The dispute is expected to reach a climax soon, when the railroads come into the market for their next year s needs. Clay Township No. !£.

Carner Stock company It is a stirring story of bor der life, full of fine comedy situations and exciting climaxes, and the splendid performances of the company left noth ing to be desired. The title role was cared for byMr. McKee: who invested the hero with all the attributes that appeal to an audience, and won repeated ap plause of the heartiest kind. Mr. IJlackaller in the character of the fun ny Irishman, and Mr Webb as the gentleman of color, both contributed liberally to the humor of the piece, and won distinct approval.
