We inadvertently omitted to chro onicle
the fact last week that the nuch peI9Neu
wife of our greatly hereaved irIeho JotIi
YahneT. Of ScOttdaie. Westmoreland county
formerly of this county, had died at the res
idence Of Wn. Shenheim, 4 relative, IN Ale
oheny city, on last Sunday week OF paIdli-
a
liberia, a disease which recently caused tne
death in rapid succession of no less th&n SIX
of their children. and from the a1UcI-ellScIS

Edward Slater. who had been employed
. for several months on the line Of the ~omeT-
set and Cambria railroad, just completed,
GOT on lambOree IN JOiinSJONh ana ~
tempted on Sunday forenoon to impede tne
. progress of an approaching train on the i.
/ Il. r. by running in front OF the ehGlle.
+ The experiment was not success, however,
as he was knocked to one side OF the track
by the pilot of the engine, but fortunately
+ escaped with 4 cut on the head and 2 rev
painful contusiOus about the body. Soon al
ter the adventure above described Slater
made n show of himself 10y dotting the most
. unmentjonable portion Of his garments, and
for this bare-harian outrage he was promptly
, arrested on the charge of lewdHess, and
brought to Jail here to await trial
Miss Annie Gardner, formerly OF LioydS-
Vile this county, but more recently of Bells
/ Mills, Blair county, has been arrested IN Al
toona on suspicion of causing the death OF an
. ilegitimate child, TO which she gave OlTth on
Saturday last in an outhOuSe at the residence
of her sister, Mrs. Gru6b, in .he latter city,
| whom she had been visiting. The movements
. of the unfortunate young woman led 10 the
I belief that something was wrong and an IN
[ veStination resulted in the finding in the out
/ building the dead body OF male infant,
which had evidently been born alive, but died
soon after from neglect and cruel treatment
on part Of the unnatural mother. Miss Gard
ner who is said to have another child living,
/ charges former resident Of Bells Mills, now
in the west, with being the father OF the dead
infant.
Mrs. - McCuirc, wife of Patrick Nc
CURE, of Cicarield township, died rather
Il. oil
aged about 6} years. The deceased com
planned of feeling unwell a day or two before
her death, and although her illness was not
CT a nature to cOntne her to bed, at least not
for any length of time, her condition became
. such at length as TO demand the attention OF
q physician. Dr. - was accordingly
summoned and at once informed her relatives
that death was approaching and tl&t the
priest should he sent for without delay
. This was done aS speedily as possible, ana
almost Immediately after receiving the last
rites of the Catholic Church the stricken Mo-
man expired with scarcely 4 struggle. Inc
disease with which she was afflicted Is what
Is kuOwnas gravel" May she rest IN peace.
The old store building of the late john

mensurate with their increased facilities fo
doing business. There Is no more rellaDUt
. firm in the county than MesSrS. Mcdonald y
I 4 Co. and as they always deal on the square
and sell at bottom prices there Is no redSul
why their new departure should not prove
