A woman who formerly resided and is
wei! known in Ebenshnrg, was welded for
the fourth time at Garman's Mills, this
county, a few days ago. The present nus
hand like the one who Immediately prece-
ded him, is said to he a nephew OF the bride,
the latter of whom evidently believes in
keeping 4 good thing in the family. When
we say that the first husband Of the woman
in question was at one time ProihonOtary of
this courty, having been elected on the
Know No.hing ticket, although not mem
her we believe of that proscripuve organlza-
tion most of our local readers Will have lit
tie difficulty in recognizing this much mar
rying feminine.
Mr., John w. Gillespie, Of Summit. died
at his home on the evening of the 9th inst.
His demise was sudden, though he hal for
some time complained of physical debility
Occas;Oned by wounds received in the late

children, to say nothing of hosts of friends,
mourn his loss. His age was about 30
years, and al the time of his death he was
constable of Summitville borough. We
learn that there was an insurance of 81 900
on his life which will be quite boon to bis
bereaved family.
Recorder Greevy Of Altoona. undeterr-
ed by considerations effecting The possibility
of sunstroi1e this alarmingly hot weather,
has for the second time within the period of
f ye or six months tackled the Tribune of
that city with a libel suit. The difficulty
has It's origin in something which was said
by the Tribune about the court over which

On the evening of the 9th instant in the
neighborhOOd Of St. Augustine, party of
vOung men became engaged III a personal
alteration which resulted disastrOusly y
Augustine viii and JAS. Mcconnell cliuch-
/ ed and fell, when Austin McDermitt inter
fered in behalf OF the latter and inflicted two
cuts with a knife on the person of viii. At
this iuncture a man named Swinehart took
a hand, bot soon after retired with an ugly
cash in one of his arms. The wounds of
neither party are serious, though sufficient
to cause n cessation from manual labor for
the time being on the part of those receiving
them. McDermift was shortly afterward
apprehended and brought 10 jail, and at the
I next session of Court VIII be afforded an op-
portunity of explaining his conduct to Judge
Dean and u jury.
During a debate in the Labor Reform
convention on the subject of the nomination
( for County Treasurer, it was announced by
a delegate that Mr.. George j. Myers, the
/ Republican nominee for that Office, had
some time prior pcremptorily declined to
I permit his name 10 go before the people.
/ This was news to most of those who heard
i the announcements, but the delegates head
/ was none the less level, for a day or two
subsequent 10 this, Mr.. Myers card of de-
/ cliuatiou was printed in the Republican pa
J pers. This card was dated June -, and
! the question which now perpleXes the Re
publicans is why the declination WAS not
made public several weeks earlier. 1t was
/ In the la Of the Chairman of the Repuh-
J liCan Committee almost n month, and what
good end was subscrved in suppressing il >
There are those WHO maintain that it was n
piece of political policy through the work
I ings of which Mr.. NJ yers was to he endorsed
} iy the Labor RrfoTners and then inlUced
/ TO Withdraw his decIinatiou and remain on
the track. If this he indeed so, then should
the signal failure OF the scheme be the means
. of inducing Republican wire puliors to here
after deal in that kind OF strategy which has
! for its foundation something else than the
/ belief that the Labor RefOr!Ecrs are fools.
