EBENSRUKG NOTES. ,
Col. John S. Miller, former owner and
proprietor of Blair House, accompanied
by his wife, left for Huntingdon on Wed
nesday. where they will again take up
thtir residence.
Mr. L. A. Craver, who recently pur
chased the Blair House, is keeping up its
reputation as a first-class hotel.
The story given some currency that
Judge Johnston is in exceedingly feeble
health and will not be able to finish his
term on the bench, is obviously ground
less. The Judge was indisposed a week
ago, but is rapidly recovering from his
illness and will soon be able to attend
personally to all his duties.
Maple Park Hotel lias been opened up
for summer guests. Several attorneys
and others attending couit are taking ad
vantage of the superior accommodations
offered by that renowned summer re
sort.
The suit of Chapin vs. the Cambria
Iron Company, now in progress here, is a
hotly contested case. Mr. Chapin, the
plaintiff, was kept on the witness stand
three and one-half hours. The legal
talent employed on this case is sufficient
to make it an interesting trial aside from
other considerations.
The Normal school, being taught here
by Mrs. R. H, Biter and T. B. Allison, is
being conducted very creditably and is
profitable to both students and teachers.
The Jeffersoman Literary Society con
nected with the school is one of its inter
esting and practicable features.
E. L. Grove and bride, who were mar
ried on Wednesday by 'Squire Kmkead,
have been spending a portion of their
honeymoon in this place. It is said his
newly wedded wife is a lady he rescued
from the Johnstown flood. This fact
will give additional force to his vow to
love and protect. Long may they live
and prosper.
Furnaces Closed Down.
Saxton Herald.
The Poweiton furnace was blowed
out on Monday for au indefinite period.
For several weeks the movements of the
Company gave indications of this close
down, and few were surprised and many
regret the stopping. This throws about
200 men out of employment, a majority
of whom have and will locate elsewhere.
The cause of tlie close down is not defi
nitely known, and whether it is on ac
count of a disagreement of the
management or dullness of trade
remains to be seen. It can not be
on acci unt of low price of pig iron, for
the market has improved in a marked
way during the past two weeks, and in
and in many quarters prices have ad
vanced. But in order to settle the pig
iron market on a solid basis it has been
decided by all the iron manufacturers of
the country that the furnaces be banked
for at least two weeks.
INJURED WHILE IBYING TO JUMP ON
THE CARS.
While Attempting to Jump on a -Moving
Freight a Man HUM hi* Buck Broken.
Aboat 5 o'clock yesterday evening a
man while attempting to jump on a mov
ing freight near Ferndale was thrown
violently to tlie ground sevetely injuring
his back. He was brought to the Clinton
strict crossing on a hand-car where he
lay for awhile and was afterwards carried
to the baggage room of the B. & O, depot
where doctors John and W. B. Lowman
made an examination of his injuries and
found that lie was not seriously hurt. He
gave his name as John Murphy and said
he had formerly worked at the Cambria
Works. No one seems to know much
about liim, and as his chums who were
with him deserted him he was placed
upon the county until he could take care
of himself.
Pleaded Guilty to Larceny.
Constable Miller returned from Ebens
burg yesterday evening, where he had
gone to arrest Contad Myers, who had
just completed a sixty days' sentence for
larceny. He was under indictment, on
oath of P. J. Sullivan, for the stealing of
some wearing apparel. At the hearing
before Alderm Hart Myers pleaded guilty,
and was remanded to the county jail for
another period of sixty days. If there is
any virtue in experience it is very likely
Conrad will tumble to the fact that the
rights of ownership is something to be
respected.
DROWNED!
OUR WELL-KNOWN TOWNSMAN, BEN
JAMIN F. COOFEB, THE VICTIM
OF A SAD MISHAP.
Thn Sorrowful Halting of a Fishing Expe
dition—He Fell from tlie Dam at Nin
eveh, Saturday Afternoon, and Before
Help Could Arrive He Was Drowned—
His Dead Body Brought Home.
On Saturday evening the many friends
of our well-known young townsman,
Benjamin F. Cooper, were shocked by the
news of his death by drowning at Nine
veh, while Ashing in the dam at that
place. The particulars are about as fol
lows :
On Saturday morning Mr. Cooper, who
is noted for doing much hunting and Ash
ing, took his tackle and went on the train
to Nineveh to Ash in the river. At the
1\ K. R. station he accidentally met Mr.
Elmer Eldridge, who was going on a sim
ilar trip. Being good friends, they natur
ally formed a company themselves. Mr.
Cooper's two brothers went on the same
train, but took to trout Ashing and did
not accompany him. There was a picnic
at Nineveh from here that day, but the
parties named were not at it.
About 3 o'clock Mr. Eldridge's bait gave
out, and he went to a run about a mile
distant to get some live chubs. He left
Mr. Cooper Ashing on the brerft of the
dam at Nineveh, a little nearer the Indiana
side.
At 3:15 o'clock, as is shown by the time
at which his watch stopped, Cooper's teet
slipped from under him, and he fell, strik
ing the planks with great force and fall
ing into the water below the dam, A
lady belonging to tlie picnic party saw
him go down. She gave the alarm, but
help could not reach him in time to avail
anything. He struggled bravely, coming
up four times, and as often being borne
by the recoiling waters into the falls of
the dam. As he went down the Afth time
he threw his arm, evidently intended as a
signal that he had given up the hope of
saving himself. He was known as a very
good swimmer and one who is always
collected and cool in the water. It is
thought that he was dazed by the shock
of the fall and was not able to help
himself or he would not have per
ished.
A boat was rowed to the place where
he went down, and about thirty-five min
utes after he went in bis body was recov
ered. Attempts were made at resuscita
tation, but to no purpose, although the
body was warm when it was brought to the
shore. The body was taken to the sta
tion and brought home on the Johnstown
Accommodation, arriving here at 7:09 in
the evening.
Mrs, Cooper, mother of the deceased,
was in : Pittsburgh at the time, and in
tended coming home on that train, but
was detained a short time and did not get
here until Philadelphia Express, at 7:16.
The unfortunate young man was
twenty-seven years of age .last October.
He held the position of boss roller at
the Gautier Works, and had a great many
warm friends about the city, and was very
much esteemed. He was single and lived
with his parents at No. 30 King street.
One of his sisters is Miss May Cooper,
who recently returned home after having
Anished teaching a term in the Braddock
schools. Another sister, Ella, is attend
ing the Indiana Normal School. She will
return home this morning, there being no
trains on tha Indiana branch on Sunday.
The funeral will take place this after
noon at 3 o'clock, when the Foresters to
which order the deceased belonged, will
turn out to do honor to their late member.
Interment will me made in Grand "View.

make an acrobat of the youngster.
A Preacher in the Mini,
Grbensbubg, Pa.. June 12.—Rev. H. S.
Boyd, pastor of the U. P. Church, of
Greensburg. while on his way from pres
bytery, came very nearly being drowned
in a swamp. He approached the river
bank - at Boston, desiring to cross to El
rod's station. The ferryman on the oppo
site side teld him to walk down the
stream a little farther. Mr. Boyd started
to do so, when he got in a swamp and
came near disappearing in the mud. Had
he gone another step he would have surely
gone beyond his depth and drowned. As
it was, he extricated himself with much
difficulty.
A Siliglit Mistake.
While engaged in digging in the lot in
the rear of the residence of the late Hon.
D. J, Morrell, a party uncovered some
bones and flesh which were supposed to
be the remains of two flood victims.
His mistake was soon learned when it
was discovered that the flesh and bones
found were parts of two hams which had
evidently been buried there in the flood.
TAKBELL CASE CLOSED.
The Points Submitted Upon Which Beth
Sides Depend.
The trial of the suit of Tarbell against
the P. R. R. in the Pittsburgh Court was
concluded Wednesday.
When the testimony had been finished
counsel for plaintiff submitted the follow
infl points of law upon which the Court
was asked to charge the lury :
First—When a railroad company un
dertakes the transportation of passengers
the contract has the implied consent of
the passenger to all reasonable rules of
the company for entering, occupying and
leaving the cars, and if any injury befall
befall the passenger by reason of his dis
regard of rules that are necessary to the
conduct of the business of the company
are not liable in damages.
Second—On the part of the Company
the contract implies that they are pro
vided with a safe and sufficient railroad
to the point of destination ; that the cars
are staunch and roadworthy, that all safe
guards be provided, and that the ser
vants in charge of the train are tried,
sober and competent men.
Thii d—When a passenger is injured or
hurt while obeying the reasonable rule of
the Company without fault on hi 6 part,
the law raises a presumption of neglieence.
Fourth—The legal presumption may bo
repelled by proving that the injury re
sulted from inevitable accident, or as it is
commonly called, the act of God, or that
the injury was caused by something
which no human foresight and prudence
could provide.
There were two or three other points
submitted and then the defendants sub
mitted the following points on behalf of
the railroad:
First—There is no presumption of neg
ligence on the part of the defendant,
hence it must be proven to the satisfaction
of the jury before a recovery can be had
in the case.
Second—A railroad company is not
liable for unforsecn and unprecedented
accidents.
Thinß-The jury must only determine
whether or not in the light of all the
knowledge and experience which the offi
cers and agents of the defendant company
had or should have had prior to the disas
ter their action, under the circumstances,
was such as cautious, prudent and com
petent men would have taken.
Fourth—Uuder the uncontradicted evi
dence in this case the plaintiff's wife and
children were drowned in a sudeden. ex.
traordinary and unprecedented flood in
the CoDemaugh river caused by the break
ing of a dam, and if the jury believe from
the evidence that the defendant officers
and agents had no such information or
knowledge as would have induced reason
able and prudent men to believe that the
train in which plaintiff's wife and child
ren were passengers was in a place of
danger, the plaintiff cannot recover and
the verdict must be for the defendant.
Fifth—lf the jury believe that the
plaintiff's wife and children were drowned
by an extraordinary outpouring of water
from the breaking of a dam at the time of
an unprecedented flood in the Conemaugh
river; that the train upon which they
were passengers had been placed upon a
track in the Conemaugh yard wliieh had
never been flooded ; that the defendants'
officfers had knowledge and experience of
other high floods, including the breaking
of the same dam in 1862, thus showing
that they had selected, in view of past
experience, an apparently safe place for
the trains, ihe verdict must be for the de
fendants.
The Court reviewed the points, and di
rected counsel to proceed to address the
jury, which was done.
Double-Tracking ttie Pennsylvania Com
pany'* Line*.
The Pennsylvania Company is now
busily engaged in the work of double
tracking all its lines west of Pittsburgh.
The work is being pushed on both
the Panhandle and the Ft. Wayne
lines. In fact, the work is progress
ing faster in an indirect way on
the Panhandle than on the Fort Wayne.
It is 193 miles to Columbus, and 87 miles
of that distance the P., C. & St. L. is par
alleled. There are twenty sidings, each
two miles long, which practically makes
127 miles of the 193 a double-tracked
road. The sidings can be connected and
the remaining sixty-six miles of track laid
in a short time.
Extension of Dining Car Service oil the
Pennsylvania Lin< *.
In these days of hurry and rapid transit
the dining car has become an essential
element of every through train. The
Pennsylvania Railroad was the pioneer in
the East of this branch of the service, and
its dining cars have won a well-merited
reputation among travelers. Iu order to
better provide for the comfort of its
through passengers dining cars will, on
and after June loth, be added to the
equipment of all through trains running
over the lines west of Pittsburgh between
the East and Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Louis. The principal trains on the lines
cast of Pittsburgh arc now equipped with
these cars, and their addition to those of
the Western territory will greatly enhance
the convenience of passengers destined to
the three great Western termini.
The Cnr Stove Must Go.
The P. R. R. officials at Philadelphia
have decided to remove the deadly car
stove and in its place will use steam from
the locomotive for heating all of its pas
senger cars. There are two pipes in each
car, one for steam and the other to carry
the water of condensation back to the
locomotive. A spur from the steam pipe
runs under each seat, and under the pipes
are openings through which fresh air
enters the car and becomes heated in
passing over the steam pipes.
ONE OF PKNN-S LAND DEALS.
An Unexpected Claimant Puts In Hi* Ap
pearance.
Lancaster Intelligencer.
An old Indian chief from Canada has
turned up in Philadelphia on a curious
mission. Centuries ago the Minsies, a
branch of the Delawares, owned a large
part of the country along the Delaware,
and when they left for better hunting
lands to the north they left their lands
in trust to the Quakers and William Penn
to be restored to their descendents when
ever demanded. Tie remnant of the
tribe are now hard up and sent their
ctief, John B. Waubuno, down to Phila
delphia to reclaim the land or its cash
equivalent. John has dropped down
upon the gentlemen of the Historical
society of Pennsylvania like a bomb shell,
loaded with a mass of rare ancient docu
ments which prove his title to about forty
miles of land on both sides of the Dela
ware and extending back an unknown
distance over a region thickly settled and
dotted with towns and villages. Re
searches in the archives and historical
collection of the society confirmed his
claims, anJ the old Indian wants to go
home to his tribe at once and hold a
grand jubilee, and raise money to push
the matter in the courts. Whatever may
come of this astonishing quest of the Min
sies it places the benevolent Quakers of
olden times in a novel and embarrassing
position. They have posed in history as
rare and edifying examples of wisdom and
justice in dealing with the Indians, and
yet it appears that they camly bamboozled
these noble red men by receiving from
them land in trust which they could not
have dreamed of returning. The records
of the chief of the Minsies also show that
in their land bargains the Quakers of old
times were quite as sharp as any modern
land shark. It was stated that in 1683
William Penn bought from them land
which was to extend as far back as a man
could walk in six days. •' Mignon (Penn)
and some friends and a number of Indian
chiefs started to measure it, and walked
up the Delaware from the mouth for a
day and a-half and then stopped, and it
never was marked out till 1733. They
then employed a noted fast wa'ker who
made eighty-six miles in the remaining
day and a-lialf. This disgraceful act
made the first breach in the confidence of
the Indians."
So at last we have the Indian side of
the great Penn Indian bargain story, and
instead ot the cluster of broad brims under
a tree peddling beads and trinkets for
thousands of acres of land, we have the
grotesque picture of a great pedestrian
match against time. It begins to look as
though the tales of Penn and his peaceful
Quakers might go tottering out of history
along with stories of Pocoh'mtas and
John Smith, but it will take something
more than a stray Canadian Indian or an
historical sensationalist to shake popular
faith in any of those pleasant stories of
good old times.
Freak of Nature.
Westmoreland Democrat.
Twenty years ago a boy oaby was born
to Charles and Bella Leach, of Indiana
county. The infant was normal iu every
respect save as to the head, which bore a
close resemblence to that of a puppy.
The monstrosity was kept closely con
fined. It never spoke, and saw nothing
of the world. Death mercifully came to
its relief last week. Of lale years the
head grew much like that of a fox. The
mother, previous to the child's birth, was
frightened by such an animal while pick
ing berries in the woods.
Another Body Found.
Tuesday forenoon about 11:30 o'clock
the search force discovered tue rt mains
of a body about opposite Vine street.
They were taken dircctl/ to Grand View

scription was obtainable. It is as follows:
No. .752. female, natural teeth, (some
mtssing). No. 31 shoe, two scakulars, one
with emblem, height five feet, verv little
cloihing.
New Step* to Peelorvllle.
Pedestrians from the lower parts of the

ever, to a more easy ascent, some dis
tance eastward from i heir former loca

SKELETON OF A MASTADON.
Discovery of the Bones off an Animal
Twenty-Two Feet Long.
OTTAWA, June 6.—The skeleton of a
colossal animal has been discovered near
Highgate. The whole of the teeth, eight
in number, four in the upper and four in
the lower jaw, have been found complete.
They are eight inches long and more than
three and a half inches broad. The struc
ture of the teeth indicates that they have
served admirably for the grinding and
mastication of tough, hard, vegetable
substances. A broken piece of one of the
tusks measured about nine feet, eight
inches. In its complete state it must
have been from twelve to fourteen feet
long. It is slightly curved and its cir
cumference at the thickest part is twenty
four inches. These are some of the bone
measurements : Hind leg, from the thigh
to the kuee joint, forty-seven inches; cir
cumference thirty-five inches.; two fore
leg bones—the humerus—from the shoul
der blade to the knee joint, three feet
four inches in length and three feet four
inches in c'rcumference. The atlas joint
upon which the head is set, has a breadth
of nearly eighteen inches. Tie shoulder
blade measures three feet two inches by
two feet one inch in the widest part
The lougest rib is fifty one inches and hai
a circumference of u-n inches. The
lower jaw, the inferior maxillary bone,
measured six f ct.
The leDgth of the animal, guaged by
the measurements of the bones found, is
from the point of the nostril to the root
of tie tail about twenty-two feet. This
is greater than that ot the celebrated
msstodon. discoverer! near Newburg, N.
Y., in IS4o.
