Becoming Rich by Aooldent.
The Pittsburgh "Tolcgrnpli," tolls this
story, which It snys is reliable :
During an excursion from this city to
Niagara Falls, and while at Cleveland au
incident ooourred which will never be for
gotten by those who heard of It. The
Kennard Iljuse at that city was crowded
with guests, when an eccentrics and witty
druggist of Bmlthtleld street appeared,
late at night, at the hotel oilloo and de
manded a bed. The clerk replied that
there were only two vacant beda In the
house, one wherein mat quartered a Pitts
burgh morning and evening newspaper man
who were both with the exoursion. "To tell
the truth, they are both pretty drunk, t?o,
you may take your choice hb to which room
you will sloop in." The druggist said that
on general principles he would take bis
chances with the evening journalist, as
they excelled the morning men in more
ways than one, and he would doubtless be
so drunk that ho would lie dormantly
quiet all night, lie weut to bed and was
soon asleep. The journalist, however,
awakoned about 13 o'clock, and, thinking
It a long time between his diluks, dressed
himself unconsciously in the druggist's
clothes and sallied out to make a night of
it. Ever aud anon he muttored as he treat
ed all present, "Funniest thing I ever heard
of. When I went to bed last night I only
bad twenty-five cents to my name, aud
now I've got over a hundred dollars (show
ing a cospulent roll of bills), and I'm
bound to spend every cont of It before
morning." He did too.
A Family's Misfortunes.
'The family of Wm. McGirk, of Lemout,
''Centre county, (formerly of this county,)
i has been singularly a 111 ic tod this summer.
On the 18th of June Mr. Mod's, third son,
Finly, while nursing the baby, had in his
hand a pocket-knife, which the baby seized,
and in the attempt to recover it, the child
threw ber band backward, and the blade
of the knife entered the boy's right eye.
The consequences was the eye Buppurated,
and the eyeball ran out.
A week later the same boby and her
Bister 4 years old were playiug in the yard,
when the Inter took a garden boo to dig
up the ground. When about striking a
blow the baby, unseen, ran in the way,
and the hoe came down upon her head,
-one of the prongs cutting a deep gnsh,
"which bled very freely at the time, but
'after the wound was washed aud dressed
the child was again lively and played
about as usual, but a week afterward
took sick, and after ailing three weeks
died.
Just nino days after the baby was struck
with a hoe, the little girl who struck her
was at the barn seeing tho workmen un
loading hay, and somehow got ber hand
in a pulley, which lacerated the hand ter
ribly, though no bones were broken.
Letvistoivn Democrat.
One Kiss too Many.
The "gentlemanly cracksmen" going
about the country sometimes allow their
softer feelings to get them into trouble.
Some burglars recently went through the
house of Mr. Menard in Montreal, Canada,
and after collecting many valuables, some
of them from the room in whioh Mr. and
Mrs. Menard were sleeping, were about to
retire in safety. In passing by the bed in
which the sleeping pair lay, the last of the
burglars paused a moment to take in the
situation. Whether overcomo by Mrs.
Menard's beauty, or because ho thought
the case called for some sort of leave-taking
of tboir hosts, he stooped over tho
sleeping lady, gently kissed ber and hurri
ed away. Bbe, however, awoke instantly,
and by the light of the bull's eye recogniz
ed her burglarious admirer, and in conse
quence he is now in jail.
A Strange Robbery.
Stkoudsbcho, Pa., August 19. The
guests of the Burnett house were startled
this morning by the announcement that the
jewelry of several lady guests had been
stolen during the night, the total value of
which was $1,000. A search warrant being
sworn out, the entire lot was found under
the bed of a young man named Fulmer, a
guest In the house. Intense excitement
prevails, as young Fulmer's father is owner
of the hotel and a very wealthy and a
prominent oitizen of Eastern and well known
throughout Pennsylvania. Fulmer earn
estly protests his innocence.. He is in cus
tody of the deputy sheriff awaiting bail.
tW Henry Johnson, a prominent mem
ber of tho West Hurley Methodist Epis.
copal Church, was arrested some time ago
at Kingston, N. Y., on the complaint of
Hiram E. Towosend, who charged that the
prisoner bad betrayed his daughter, Mary,
Miss Townsend is a member of the same
church, and has been keeping company
with Johnson for more than a year. Bbe
snys that Johnson proposed to marry her
about a year ago, but be has not yet doue
so. Her father is an oiUoer In the church,
and she has been a teacher in the village
school. Johnson has hitherto borne an
unsullied reputation. He was first arrested
on tbo charge three weeks ago, t'heu he
gave bail iu the sum of f 200. The author
ities, however, fearing that the amount was
too small to hold him, caused bis arrest a
second time, when the amount of bail wns
increased to $3,000.
tW A somewhat startling Inoident oo
ourred at a camp-meeting at Llnwood, Car
roll Co.,Md.,on Friday last. The brethren
were holding 'the regular morning
piayer and praise meeting, and Mr.
Petin, of Wlnlleld, Carroll county, among
others gave iu a very warm and feeling
Christian experience, and had Just taken
bis seat when Elder Blgler arose and asked
htm if be did not now regret his not hav
ing engaged sooner in the oause of the
Lord, he having been converted only six
years ago. To which he replied, with
great emphasis aud feeling, " I do," and
bs he uttered this last word he fell over,
but was caught by the brethren and car
ried to a tent close at baud, where he im
mediately expired.
t2J" Clay Hughes was not on hand when
the company assembled at Covington, Ky.,
to witness his marriage to Annie Berry.
Mr. Bracken was sent out to huut up the
misBing bridegroom,. but before commenc
ing the search he bought a rovolvcr, so as
to be prepared for any emergency. When
found, Hughes said ho had changed his
mind about getting married, liiaokeu
thought this was a proper time to use the
weapon, but did it so unskilfully that not
one of the bullets did any harm. How
ever, the demonstration wrought anothej
alteration in Hughes' feelings, and he sub
mitted to the marriage ceremony.
C3F" A disgraceful scene occurred in the
Lancaster county court on Tuesday after
noon, in which orimination and recrimina
tion passed freely between three prominent
lawyers, District Attorney Eshelman, J.
Hny Brown, and E. it. Martin. These
gentlemen, leading politicians of the radi
cal faith and identified with the sepnrate
wings of the party, freely accused each
other of blackmail, bribery, aud lying, and
all the eflbrts of the court to quell the dis
orderly proceedings proved fruitlesc
C3T" Centre papers note the tragic death
of Ezra Brlsbin Brown, youngest son of
Colonel V. V. Brown and wifo.at Cedron,
Lincoln county, Kansas.on Weduesday,the
30tu of July. The Colonel, formerly of
Centre county, and his help wore starting
to the stack with a load of wheat, when
Dart of it fell off and frightened the
horses, winch started to run. Little Ezra,
who had obtained permission from his
father to ride and drive while they were
loading, was thrown to the ground, one of
the wheels striking bis head, as we under
stand It, killing him instantly.
tlT Daniel Ubil, farmer, of Iloueybrook,
Lancaster county, whose large barn and
contents were burned to the ground about
a year ago, and whose misfortune it was to
be seriously burned himself whilst saving
his stock, etc, has again received notice
by a drop-lotter that he may at any time
look for another conflagration of the same
time. Mr. Ubil was compelled to thresh
this summer's crop in the field, fearing to
store it in his new barn on account of these
threats.
C3T" J. V. Stephens, who, on the 11th
inst., murdered his wife near Fincastle,
Vs., has committed suicide. After killing
his wife he took to the woods, where he
remained concealed for a week, when be
returned borne, and seating himself on a
block of wood in the yard, shot himself
through the heart with tho same weapon
he bad used upou his wife. The original
cause of the tragedy is said to have been
jealousy.
tThe wife of Rev. Andrew Merkel,
the rector of Chester, near Toronto, Cau
ada, was so badly burned on Wednesday
that her life is despaired or. She was
riding in a carriage with her husband, who
was smoking a cigar, when a spark from
the cigar Ignited Mrs. Merkel's clothing,
and before it could be extinguished her
body was badly burned.
Buffalo, August 14. A tramp giving
the name of Harry Locke, and claiming to
be a shipwrecked sailor living at New Cas
tle, Pa., who was arrested charged with
putting a tie on the track of the Lake
Shore road, confessed the orirae this morn,
ing, giving as bis reason "out of funds,
tired of life aud a desire for imprisonment
to prevent starvation."
t3T"Mrs. Patrick Hannabroy had an al
tercation with Matthew Diiffey in her
saloon at Troy, N. Y ., on Monday evening,
in the course of whioh she struck him over
the head with the rung of au old-fashone d

People Wonder Why
we can sell cheaper than any of
our competitors.
THREE REASONS.
FIRST.
We buy heavy, pay cash for
what we do buy, sell a great
manv more eroods than anv of
our Competitors, and therefore
can sell on much smaller
profits.
SECOND.
We always run one stock of
clothing off at a sacrifice at the
end of the season, and do not
have what always eats up profits
Old Stock.
THIRD.
As we manufacture a great
many of our own goods we are
giving our customers the benefit
of this right along, and makes
a saving for them of 20 per
cent.
