/ A sad accident occurred last week to a
son of Rev. A. G. Ahrenfeldts, of this
place. He was engaged in oiling the
machinery connected with the rolls, at
the Mill, and lying down in the vicinity
of the fy-wheel to oil journal, his legs
were caught in the monster wheel, and
one of them crushed in such manner as
to neoess;tate amputation at the knee
Hopes are entertained of his recovery.
A man named Rively was killed by a
freight trainabout three miles east of this
place last week. He had gone back to
flag an approaching train, and sitting
down on the track was overcome by sleep.
The next train ran over him. This
brakeman had worked out his notice to
quit, and was running his last trip, when
he lost his life. Another brakeman
named Luther, from Carroll township, this
county, was killed at the east end of the
tunnel, while making his first trip. The
accident was caused by couple of stock
cars running off the track, by which
huniper VI n"~c cattle were also killed.
1t has been ascertaiDed rn.., ar-. r.
Ian, of this place, and her four children,
were consumed in the terrible accident
which occurred at Thompsontown few
days since. She was on her way east to
rejoin her husband, who had left here
como time since. IT. was most heart
sickering occurrence.
To-day the new Catholic church was
dedicated, and it was the occasion of one
OF the most imposing ceremonies ever
witnessed il our city. Bishop Domeneo,
of Pittsburg, assisted by nine Priests,
dedicated the building to the service of
Almighty God, after which the grand and
solemn pontiical High Mass was celebra-
ted. The music was under the leadership
Of Miss Mcguire, assisted by the Misses
Grouse, and was most admirably rendered.
Rev. Pollard, formerly of Loretto, this
county, preached the dedication sermon,
and tho Right Rev. Bishop preached at
Vespers. Fully 1000 persons witnessed
the interesting ceremonies. Universal
praise is awarded to the designers and
builders of this noble edifce 1t will
be an ornament not ouly to- the growing
prosperity Of our town, but also to TIE
religious spirit of the congregation. Too
much praise cannot be awarded to Rev.
p. NJ. Garvey, pastor, and Messrs. Easily,
and Grouse, contractors. for the interest
they have manifested in pushing forward
the work to an early completion.
Two brave soldiers belonging to the
18th Cavalry, who were shot at Charles
town, Va, in recent cavalry charge,
and supposed to be killed, have failed to
heretofore receive notice Alexander
Long, formerly a clerk in .he oompany's
store of this place, was shot in the head,
and was sent to hospital but has not
since been heard of. 1t is thought he
died on the road, and was buried in an
unknown grave. He was known here as
brave, generous young man, and his loss
will be felt by his many friends. Sergt
Cramer was at the same time shot through
The bowels, and as the wound was mortal,
it is generally believed by his regiment
that he is now no more. Brave boys
they should not go down to their honored
graves unknown.
