Bursting of a Circular Saw.

AT Dickinson Bros. saw mill, on the
afternoon of Thursday last, the large
circular saw bursted, while running at
the rate of 900 revolutions minute,
seven or eight men were in the mill. all
of whom escaped injury. AT the time
of the accident the mill was saving
short stuff, the false head block, used
for saving long lumber, being at the
rear end of the carriage out of reach of
the saw. This block was moved for
ward by the off-bearer, Louis Cover,
for what reason is not known. At any
rate when the saw struck the solid cast
iron block and had sawed into it about
two inches, it was more than even cir
cular saw could stand, and the pieces
flew. S. S. Wilson, the sawyer, says
things looked blue around that mill for
about minute and half. The loss is
ebout $3.50.

Thomas Welsh.

In our last issue we referred briefly
tothe career of the above named young
man. Now, Tom in his sober mo-
ments, is a steady and respectable man,
but it seems last week he was little
"off' so to speak. That is he had been
imbibing too freely of forty-rod-sure-
shot. or "coffin varnish" as Frank
Dill would put it. Going into l.. a.
Brendel's place on Wednesday of last
week, he had few words with a GUS
toner, and finally broke a show case
for which he did not pay. Brendel
swore out a warrant the same day be-
fore Esquire Fullerton, which was
placed in the hands of NJ. S. Kline
acting constable, who visited the
Thayer House for the purpose of MAX
ing the arrest. Thomas, however, left
by the back door, but was headed off
at Prof. Dixon's house, on South street,
by Deputy-Sheriff Wensel, and deliv-
cred to Kline. Welsh claimed that he
could get bail by going to Irishtown,
to which place Kline accompaniedh him.
Failing to get bail, they were return
ing, when Welsh struck Kline and
again escaped. This time making for
the Clarion river, which he swan, but
as the stream was very high and swift,
he drifted long way down stream be-
fore he succeeded in reaching the OPP
posite shore. On emerging from the
water, in very exhausted condition,
by reason of his run, his unfavorable
condition from liquor-drinking, and
the GOODNESS of the water, he was
hardlya able to stand, and was with lit
tie difficulty arrested by Esquire Full
lerton, who had crossed the bridge and
headed him off. While in the river a
great many stones were thrown at him,
several barely missing their mark, any
one of which would have produced
death. And we enter solemn protest
against this unwarranted and brutal
proceeding, considering the compare
lively trifling nature of the crime, for
which the man was being arrested, the
throwing of stones, which amounted
TO an attempt TO XIII, was hlghly un-
justifiable. A wagon was procured,
and Welsh was hauled up town; taken
before Esquire Fullerton, who COM
mitted him to Jail in default of bail in
the sum of $500. On Friday morning
he was released upon payment of costs,
and damages. On complaint of NJ. S.
Kline, for assault and battery, before
Esquire Mead, Welsh was re-arrested
and again committed in default of bail
Monday he furnished bail and was once
more free, and took the afternoon train
for his home in Fox township.

Rain. hail, and snow for the past few
days with heavy frosts. Fruit all killed
and people looking blue.
BETS on Ernhout d. Taylor's we'll No. 2
are declared off Struck below the belt,
and flowing salt water so strong that Lytle,
the driller, says one barrel of the water will
make two barrels of salt.
They are still trying to get the tools
out of No. l; have speared around them, got
a firm hold and are now jarring; think they
will get them out this week.
The Bevier we'll will be down in four or
five days. 1t is believed to be in good
location, or on the belt.
"A laughaole affair came off at the tan
merry a few days ago An Irishman ap-
piled TO Judson Schultz for work as beam
hand. Mr.. Schultz told him he didn't want
10 hire any Irishmen; they gave him more
trouble than all the rest Of his men; they
were always in fight; had killed two or
three, and two had just run away; and he
intended to hang them soon as he could get
them, "That's right" said the Irishman,
"every domed Irishman in America out to
be killed" "Well," said Mr.. Schultz. 81
will never hire another Irishman unless |
am satisfied he is a perfect angel" "Bej jab.
bers its meself that can just fill the bill, Mr.
Schultz" said the IrIshman. 1t is needless
to say the man was hired and proved num-
Der one workman.
George Schriner, the boy who fell down
the elevator and broke his knee, and after
wards fell and broke his thigh, has all sorts
of bad luck. A day or two ago he tried to see
how long he could hold his breath and came
near never getting it again, and is now lay
ing in critical condition it being almost
impossible for him to breathe at all.

Heavy Frosts.

This section was visited by Jack
Frost on Saturday night slightly, and
on Sunday and Monday nights the
heaviest frosts fell here that have been
known in the month of May for al
most score of years (since lS49), ice
having been formed from one-fourth to
one-half inch thick. Grapes are uni
versally destroyed, while apples and
other fruits have sustained great injury.
Early potatoes received terrible
scorching, while corn, beans, and to-
matoes will need to be replanted.
