Groom,the Mars wagon maker, has built for a local glycerine shooter, the first automobile to be used in carry ing nitro-glycerine. The vehicle is about the size of an ordinary spring wagon with heavy pneumatic-tired wheels. It operates by steam, weighs 1200 pounds and cost $1,200. Mr. Groom is justly proud of his work. A millionaire grandson of Eads, the famous engineer, has a strange hobby. He thinks it wrong to live upon the profits got from the work of others. Putting this notion into effect he is now said to be tramping through the West doing odd jobs in return for his meals. For an actual millionaire to do anything of this kind must strike most people as strange. Reduced fortune managing affairs as best it can is another matter. Twenty years ago a Russian prince was a brakeman on a New Yorlc railway and his wife took in washing. A Prince Rohan was once a waiter in Philadelphia. A brother of one of England's most farnons states man died as a porter in a Jacksonville grocery store, and a grandson of the Earl of Perth labored for years in the mailing department of a metropolitan newspaper. Instances like these where the subjects were once prominent and wealthy are not rare. They took to their new lines of life because of mis fortune and poverty. But for anyone to start ont as tlii" rich young Wester ner has done is probably unprecedent ed. Letter to Hazlett & McColongli. Butler, Pa.

Abont two o'clock last Wednesday . morning, James Anderson, a wealthy bachelor about '>o years of age, living on , Brush creek in Cranberry township. , was awakened by a bright light and a [ noise in the front part of his house. The light was madn by torches on the out side. As Mr. Anderson rushed into a front room where he kept his shot gun, four masked men who had smashed in the front door, sprung upon him. knock ed him down with a club and said "give us your money, Jimmy, we know you have it. You sold wheat at Harper's mill and you got B ome for that last lease." Anderson refused to tell them and the\ bound hiui to the bed and beat and cut him till his head and face were a mass of wounds. They also threaten ed to apply fire, but did no<\ The noise wakened >lr. Anderson's niece. Martha Gilkej*. who keeps house for him. As Miss. Gilkey came down stairs, the men seized her, tried her to the bed and cut oft her hair. Further violence was threatened but one of the men said "There's 110 use hurting her, she is only the hired help " Miss Gilkey almost succeeded in pnlling the mask from one of the men in the struggle. The house was then ransacked and the thieves found nearly s7oo—s4oo of which was in gold After securing the booty they went i out and hitched an unbroken colt in a ' buggy, but abandoned their efforts to \ make the colt travel and went away on I foot. Sometime laier, Anderson worked j himself loose, went to the house of Esq. j Lemuel Douthett and told what had i happened. No one has yet been appre-! hended. That the men were acquainted j with the neighborhood and knew Mr. | Anderson and bis neiee is evidenced by the remarks they made during their dastardly work. The Sixth Artillery.

Boggs& Buhl Department X. ALLEGHENY. PA. Old Couple Die Suddenly. Jacob Smith of Hickory St. Ist Ward r Butler died, Tuesday, and his wife, nee 1 Barbara Walter, died next day (yester day). They were an old couple who 1 came to this country from Germany • many years ago and lived for a time on - the Vogeley place, least of Butler and t came to Butler about three years ago The man was 70 years of age or better 1 and the woman was said to be 80 or more. Their deaths so near together > was the source of conjecture as to the 1 causes. Monday both were slightly sick and Mrs. Wiles, a neighbor, stayed with them till evening At 5:30 the noxt morning Mrs Wiles returned to the Smith home and pounded on the 1 door, after some delay she heard a body falling to the floor within and then Mrs. 1 Smith opened the door Mr. .■Smith while getting up had fallen and lay prostrate: with the help of two men he was lifted upon a bed. He died before j noon. liis aged wife continued sick, sank rapidly and died Wednesday. There was a suspicion that the old folks had made an end of their own lives by eat ing poisoned grapes or soup but there is no foundation for belief i?i this theory. A Coroner's inquest was not held. The Smiths owned their own home and the old man received a pension as a Civil War veteran. Gottlieb Walter, the shoe maker, is a nephew of Mrs Smith and Rothweiler, the Saxonburg | tailcr, of Mr. Smith. LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS Clerk's Notice in Bankruptcy.
