QUITE LITTLE ROMANCE developed at the
Pittsburg City Poor Farm by Deputy Mayor
Hartman, Nearly eight years ago the wife Of
Antonia Weber, Janitor OF st, Michsel's School
on the south side, mysteriously disappeared. For
some time previously her mind had been dis.
eased, and after every effort failed to discover
her whereabouts she was given up as dead. Since
then her husband has lived alone, never ceas
ing to regret the inexpllcable disappearance Of
his wife. On Monday last the Deputy Mayor,
who was familiar with the sad story, was amazed
at being recognized by woman at the Poor
Farm, who soon convinced him that she was the
long missing wife of Weber. Then her story
came out She seemed to have as suddenly re-
gained her normal condition Of mind as she had
lost It, The presence Of Mr.. Hartman apparently
acted as a spur to her dormant intellect, and she
begged to be taken to her home and husband,
The records Of the Poor Farm showed that she
had been picked up In the streets about eight
years ago, She was then demented and she
cod not remember her name nor where she lived.
Since that time, until she encountered Mr. Hart
man, her mind has been under cloud, The
poor woman, who has now become entirely sane,
was taken home, and her reception by her happy
husband can be more readily imagined than de.

The other day we were out inspecting the beehves
of industry and the principal business houses Of our
thriving city, and matter Of course, we visited
Lowenstlne Bros Philadelphia Clothing House. To
say that we were surprised would hardly express
our feelings AS Mr.. sam LOwenstine conducted us
around the establishment, such a vision Of Business
Suits Sacks and CheserHelds, single and double
breasted Frock Dress Suits, cheap Overcoats and
fine Overcoats Ulsters and Ulserettes Hats and
Furnishing Goods, greeted our eyes, that we were
compelled to acknowledge that 1t Is good thing for
the citizens Of Stark county to have such an enter
prising clothing store in their midst. Their goods
are fine and as well made as II Is possible for any
tailor to max them; their styles are the latest, and
are simply immense, and their prices are so low
that no man need be without a good suit and good
Overcoat this coming winter We would advise our
readers to pay them visit OF inspection, ana con.

PIKE TO WNSHIP.

There has been much talk lately In this neigh.
borhood about organizing a Garfield Club, but
alas, it had scarcely been conceived when there
was trouble in the ranks. A few evenings ago
there was a gathering Of some of the DeGolyers
Beamer avenue, Third Ward, Sparta, to decide
upon uniforms, Samples were shown from
Waynesburg and Canton, and the majority of the
club who are poor but industrious laborirg men
decided on the WaynesbuTg suits, as they were
the cheapest, when they were opposed by three
sandy complexioned individuals and one of
darker shade, who were under the false impress
ion that they were the most prominent men in
the Republican party, and who determined on
getting the more expensive suits. Then the rue.
ton commenced and the club busted In fact
the rupture Is so bad that the grand pole raising
has been postponed, as the would be nabobs Of
the "God and morality party cannot get enough
voters together to raise pole It is sad to note
that these brothers (2) cannot dwell together in
harmony. SPARTA.
