The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1879-03-07

&C. Clinton Gardiner, ESQ. General Su- /.
perlnteuueut of the PeHnsyl lvauIa Railroad, f.
with his Office At Altoona, las resigned that
position for the purpose Of accepting one of
greater responsibility and more proflt,
presume on the HoOsac Tunnel route, com
prising the Fitchburg and the Troy aud BOs-
ton Railroad, in Massachusetts. II will not
he questioned that Mr.. Gardner has made an
efficient, courteous and faithful officer, and
in his new departure sure lie will
take with him the best wishes Of a host Of
warm friends and personal admirers. His
resignation takes effect, we believe, on the
first of April, but who his successor will be
has not yet transpired.
Having found, he was no way back
ward in telling us, that il pays to advertise
in the FREEMAN, Mr.. u. G. Mccullough, OF
AltoOua, once more comes TO the front this
week with larger and more tempting list
OF prices than ever, as Will be seen by his
advertisement elsewhere. We can say from
our own knowledge that the "Checkered
Front is one of the most extensive grocery
establishments in Altoona, and what Dave
don't know about selling cheap is not worth
knowing, Give-him a call, IL for other
purpose than to buy mackerel, which we
know to be good and which he sells at prices
never before dreamed of in the philosophy
of FISH eaters.
Among the names of certain San Fran
cisco clergymen who te.egraphed An urgent
appeal the other day to Mr.. Hayes to sign
the antI-Chlnese bill, we notice those OF Rev.
II. p Gallagher and his younger brother
Rev. Jos. y. Gallagher, present pastors of
St. Joseph's Catholic church, in that city,
both of whom will be recognized as former
residents, OF LOTettO, this county, where
some thirty years ago they had charge as
pastor and curate of St MiChaePs church.
Their many friends in this vicinity will be
glad to learn from the fact stated that they
. are still living and evidently enjoying good
health, while few there are who will, We
opiue, find fault with their action on :he
Chinese question, vain though their efforts
were.
The counsel for Noah Murphy, charged
with the larceny of saw from a saw. mill in
Summerhill township, saw, or seemed to
see, thai we knew too much or too little,
probably the latter, about saw, and when
he saw that we were drawn to serve as
Juror in said case. he saw fl to enter his
Z protest, and as \ consequence everybody
present saw us stepping down aud ont of
the jury box, much TO our relief, the reader
may be sure. Whether the crOss-Cut saws
which surmouut the pages of the FREEMAN
and at which several of our COtempOraries
have been poking fun, had anything to do
with counsels objections, we are not of course
prepared to say. We are glad, however
that he saw Fl TO object to our presence in
the jury box.
Young men who refrain from getting
married because they fear they would not be
able TO support a family, may find consOla-
tiOn and encouragement the experience of
MI George Leutz, Of Allegheny township,
who not only commenced his married life
. twenty-five years ago in rather straitened
circumstances though now one of the most
prosperous and well-to do citizens of the
county, but during that period has been
made he happy father Of no less than eigh-
teen children, all of whom are still living
. under the parental roof, ard several of whom
are Of great assistance to him in the every
day duties Of life. Mr.. Ientz is certainly 80
De congratulated, as well on his success in
. accumulatng fair competence as on his
UuSuTPasSable contribution to the census re-
ID gQr ha hrlr
reu waste where such men reside.
On Tuesday of last week, at the mouth
OF Cnest Creek, in ClearfleId county, man
named John r. Weusell metlv.jth a saa ac.
cident which soon resulted in death. He
was engaged at the time running in logs for
theMessrs. Mehatfey, and while sOemplOyed
was caught in a jam, and his right arm was
fractured and his ribs crushed in. Strange
to say he was able to walk couple OF miles
after receiving the injuries, when kind
friends took him into a convenient house.
Medical aid was summoned from Glen Hope
and CherrytTec, but before the arrival of the
doctors the unfortunate man was dead. His
last words are said to have been 4 want
to see my wife aud children before l die "
The remains were removed to CarrOlltOwn
and inferred iu the Catholic cemetery there
the following Thursday. Mr.. Weusell was
a married man with a wife and five children
and his reputation was gO0dswith all who
knew him.
Our former towusmau. Mr. Evan Grif-
nth, and son, arrived home last Saturday
night, after an experimental absence in
Iowa and Nebraska of about one year On
his return trip, Mr.. Griffith had expert
enCe which was not altogether agreeable
II and son had put mp for fhe night in a
hotel in Council Bluffs, Iowa, where in the
midst of an alteration, which aCCideutaIlv IL
arose, as IL will out West, a man was sashed
with q knife across the abdomen. The
wOuEd was fO- Il time thought TO be mortal
but it was not, for the man in a few days
was pronounced by attendant physicians TO
be out Of danger. But Mr.. Griffith ana son
. ChauCed to be witnesses OF the deed, ,Eaud
were detained for a day or two 10 give te >
tImouy in \ matter OF life or DEATH and il
was merely the prOvidentiaI Withholding Of
the fraction OF an inch or two of a cut that
euabled them 10 get home as soon thew
did. Mr. C.!iith, it is understood, will
again embark in the butchering business in
Ebeusburg.
-Aspirants for political donors on the
Democratic ticket nave been getiiugin their
work pretty lively during the present week
and although the Offices to be voted for az
the coming election are by no means album
daut, the number of persons seeking them
can scarcely be Classed in -he same category
Among those not already mentioned in these
columns we may name Messrs. D. 4. Luther
and Charles Dunlap, of Carroll township
both OF whom are in quest of the shrievalty
plum, and either of whom would make a
SherIh OF which Cambria county would GER
taInly have no reason To be ashamed Mr.
Luther ~ without a superior anywhere in
al thaF constitutes an honest, upright and
deserving citizen, and Mr.. Dunlap, it is but
Just 90 say, has q record equally unohiectiulr-
able. sFor Poor House Director the only 9TH
er office to be filed we have been requested
TO announce Mr.. John O Hara, of Munster
township, and Mr.. Henry Hopple, of Carroll
township, the latter Of whom proclaims
himself . Conservative Democrat of the
strajghtest sect. OF either of these two gen
tlemen we need say nothing. both being vel
known as in every way fitted for the position
which one or the other, aud it may be both
OF them, viii fail to attain. However that
may be, neither of them will be without
warm and enthusiastic friends in the con-
veution, and should one or the other secure
the prize there can be no question but what
he viii prove TO be 'the right man in the
right place." and more than that cannot be
said on behalf of any one who has or may
. hereafter enter the lists.

deeply philosophical article, it is written in
