One of the most remarkable marriage
tangles ever known was presented to
the authorities in probate court at
Toledo, Ohio, last Saturday, when Ed
ward and Fred Metzgar, twins, made
application to marry sisters. This in it
self was strange enough, but when the
clerk was preparing the papers it was
learned that an elder brother of the
twins had married a sister of the two
prospective brides of the twins. A look
at the entry journal showed that in
May, 1904, Albert Metzger, a brother,
had married Ida Miller, the third sister.
While the people in the court were hav
ing a good laugh at this Edward spoke
up and said: "Let me tell you some
thing that will set you thinking deeper.
Onr father is the husband of the girlsj
mother."

O. C. Redic. John J. West. D, D.
Quigley and Isaac Myers as jurors, in
which they found the unknown infant,
a male child, died at the County Home
Monday morniDg of exhaustion, ex
posure, starvation and neglect, having
been left in an abandoned condition, in
a nude state, gagged by having a wo
man's shirt-waist tied "over its mouth
and around its head, in an unfrequented
place near Sunset station, and from tho
evidence adduced the jury believes it to
be the same child seen in the possession
of Miss Tillie Snyder on Thursday even
ing. August 31, at Sunset station, and
believes Miss Tillie Snyder to be guilty
of criminal neglect and premeditated
murder. The girl is seventeen years of
age and is said to be demented.
Tuesday evening Deputy Sheriff G. C.
Vorous and County Detective Hoon went
to the girl's home, placed her under ar
rest and lodged her in jail on a charge
of murder. She does not seem to real
ize the seriousness of the situation Her
mother has been dead several years.
The evidence which leal to the charge
against the girl was given by Mrs.
John Fenn and Mrs. Charles Swift, who
reside near Sunset, and said they were
at the station about eight o'clock last
Thursday evening when Miss Snyder
got off the train with a child in her
arms. They knew her, being neighbors,
and lifted the covering over the child's
face and looked at it. and declare it was
the same one found dying.
The girl denies all this and denies
that the women 6aw her, but admitted
to the officers she became a mother in
Mercy Hospital, Pittsburg, July 8. She
says her child died there.
School Xotes.
Concord twp. High School opened in
the old Grange Hall. Middletown, last
week, with Prof. Elliott in charge.
Prof. L. F. Hall of the Springdale
schools sent 35 pupils who were enroll
ed in the different rooms in that school
building to their homes, last Thursday,
because their parents were not residents
of the Batler school district.
At the meeting of the Butler School
Board, Friday evening last, two child
ren of Mr. Nesbit of Butler twp. were
admitted to the High School, under the
new law; W. S. Wagner was given the
contract for the Broad street wall; the
Butler twp. people whose children .were
sent home were advised to apply for ad
missision to the boro., and the tax mat
ters were discussed, but nothing definite
done.
Most of the schools of the northern
states opened, this week, and before the
month is over most of the colleges,
academies, normal, business and paro
chial schools will be in full swing. The
most encouraging reports of large en
rollments of students are heard, and the
prospects for a fall and winter of close
application to study were never better.
All signs are most favorable for the
educational institutions of every class
in Western Pennsylvania. New teach
ers and professors have been secured in
many schools, and the most improved
methods of teaching have been adopted.
All this means that popular interest in
education is not flagging and that seek
ers after knowledge are steadily in
creasing.
A Freak Spcctuele.
Bolts of lightning continue to play
strange tricks. During a late storm a
bolt struck a large oak tree on the farm
Darwin Kennedy, near Mars, split it
open for a few feet at the forks and set
fire to the dead wood in the heart, thus
making the Btrange sight of an ap
parently green tree burning at the top.
Two large Holstein cows standing
under the tree at the time were killed.
