death. He and Charley Hinton and
another man whose name We did not
learn, were walling up the Lawrence
House well, which had been sunk to
the depth Of thirty feet. Andrews was
in the well, and while there the large
bucket, containing upward of 200 lbs.
Of stone, fell to the bottom, twice,
narrowly escaping him both times. If
that pail had struck him, he would in
all probability have died. How it
happened that the pail fell, we have
not heard. The we'll was put down
about "a feet in June, and Andrews
and Jacob Smearbaugh were stoning
it up; once there was more stone in
than Smearbaugh realized, and when
he launched the load, it was SO heavy
that it threw him completely over the
windlass, but with an agility surpris-
ing for large man, he turned imme.
diately around, and braced himself
and grasped the windlass at the same
time, stopping it perfectly still. If
we were Andrews we would quit the
business. He may not always be 50
lucky,
The stone for the Laeytown bridge
are being prepared for laying, and by
the time the debris of the old bridge
is cleared away the work of laying
them will be commenced, and rushed
through as rapidly as energy and good
management can accomplish it. The
contractor Of the stonework, Mr.. j.
Clary, was fortunate in having almost
all the stone he will need in the con-
struction of the abutmepts, right near
the site of the bridge, within reach of
the crane, in the shape of huge rocks,
which have been split with wdges,
make altogether the finest lot of stone
for building purposes we have ever
seen. About fifteen men are at work
there and are making things buzz.
"A fresh outrage on decency and
humanity comes from Pleasantville.
1t seems that G. A. Reeser, proprietor
of tho PleasantviIle Nurseries has se-
cretly gotten divorce from his wife,
through the agency of New York
City lawyer, and married another wo-
man all unknown to wife No. l until
Reeser brought wife No. 2 home and
sought to turn No. / out of the house.
Assisted by her father-in. law, she
drove the husband and No. 2 away.
Reeser has been living with both wo-
men since his marriage to the last one.
He has left the country, and if he
comes back it will probably be made
interesting for him.
George Killmer, a little boy aged
about four years, fell into the river off
fat-hoat, just below the abutment on
this side of the river, where the water
is quite deep. The little fellow would
certainly have been drowned, had not
Prothonotary Agnew plunged in and
pulled him out. 1t is a wonder that
there are not more accidents of this
kind, as there are always ten to fifteen
small boys playing on and around the
boats tied there. Parents should keep
their children away from such danger
GUS places; little wholesome disci-
pline now may save some sore hearts
hereafter.
The enterprising base ballists of
Tylersburg are around that burg with
a subscription paper to raise money to
procure base ball suits for the men,
bers. AS the suits cost from So to So
apiece, it will be a pity if they can
not raise the amount. We expect
soon to hear of some man running
around with subscription paper to
pay his board bills. If the members
of that club have hands and legs as
hard as their cheek, they will be tho
champions of Clarion county in no
time.
