The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1881-03-04
-Mr Lantlin Gutwalt. the venerable fath-

GaIlitzin. died at the residence Of the first
named son, in the West ward. at O'Clock on
last Saturday afternoon, aged about 80 years
The deceased was one of the oldest as he
was certainly one of the most unassuming
citizens OF Cambria county, and having been
fervent and devOut in the performance OF the
duties devOiving upon him as member OF
the Catholic Church, there IS good reason to
hope that lie has met with favorable judg-
ment After Requiem Mass at the Church
of the Holy Name and a brief but pathetic
! funeral sermon by Rev. Father Reardon, the
| remains of deceased were taken to Carroll
town for interment Monday forenoon
On "Wednesday of last week, as we learn
from the JoInstown Tribune, a young man
I named Weaver aged about eighteen years,
was instantly killed at the old reservoir in
CrOyle township, about two miles from South
Fork. He was engaged I'D undermining a
claV bank and wheeling the material TO the
filling which is being placed in the dam to
arrest leakage There was large rock
above him, which was only partially sup
ported and Just as he was in the act OF walk
ing out from the dangerous place it became
detached, and fell upon his head and back,
causing immediate death, as the veTtebTSe at
the neck, as well as the spinal column, suf-
fered fracture Deceased was the son of
farmer residing near the BuckhOrn tavern,
some four miles from the scene OF accident.
That clever "knight of the cleaver" and
firm friend of the FREEMAN, Mr.. ThOs Kin
ney, of WilmOre, did the handsome thing IN
! a handsome manner on Saturday last by for
warding to We editor per Express, prepaid,
common-siZed starch box containing some
twelve or fifteen pounds of as .uscious beef,
roast and steak as ever tickled the palate of
an epicure. The occasion which prompted
this generous act was the Slauehtering by our
kind friend Kinney Of a three yeer. old steer,
purchased from Mr.. William Emigh of Sum-
MERRILL township, which weighed 2,1T5 lbs.
and netted /, 116 lbs. of clean meat It was
certainly monster beef, all will admit
who know anything about cattle, but it was
no larger in proportion than is the generous
bpo ri pf the oanial gentleman VINO bonn
tifully beef-riended the printer
These are dry times in Cambria county
License to sell Intoxicating liquors are invarl
ably granted the first week OF March Court,
and for the term of one year only. Last
wear they were passed on by the Court the
first day of the month, and consequently eX-
pred by limitation on Monday night last, at
IL o'clock. Court will not meet till Monday
next, and up to that date no saloon can be
legally authorized to sell, excepting one in
Loretto and one in st. Augustine. Remon-
strances were presented against the granting
of license to these two saloons and their
cases held over for adyisement several days,
. and hence the apparent discrimination IN
( their favor. According to rule, special
| session of Court is held Monday evening of
the first week to grant or refuse license, on
! which occasion, or whenever the matter
comes up, no less than III applications for
/ tavern license, . for quart Incense and is
for eating house license will be presented
The owner of the pocket book found by
! Mr.. Jacob Borlley, of this place, and subSe-
/ quently restored to its lawful pOssessor, men
tiOn whereof was made III our last issue, call
ed on Monday to assure us that Mr. BOrkey
expressed himself at the time as being entire
, ly satisfied with the amount paid him for
turning the pOcket-book and It's contents, and
that he has nobody To blame but himself Tor
| not making a nicer thing out of it. The gen
tleman in question also AYERS that 1t cost no
thing for Mr.. BOrkey to find and return the
property, and that while he deserves credit
for his honesty he felt that it would have been
= impugning his motives had nc offered him
larger sum than he did. Had he known, how
= ever, as he expresses it, that the finder of the
money was going to make poor mouth
. about matter with which be seemed per
fectlv satisfied at the time, he would have
insisted on knowing his price, and II at all
within reason would have paid the demand.
: A quantity of stones are being delivered
, at the Site of the new Court House, to finish
- up the foundation walls Of that structure.
- These stones are procured at the celebrated
deserted village Of Beulah-a town which
contained a couple of hundred population
{ when Ebensburg occupied no place on the
map, but which died a natural death more
than half century ago, leaving nothing be-
! hind to tell the tale of its one-time greatness
, save a pile of unsightly ruins. II seems
/ strange to associate such idea as crime
, | and criminals with that silent village, but
that in its palmy days it contained lookup
5 | is A fact which was testified to bv the late
b . Edmund Waters, Esq, on divers occasions
n during his lifetime. The ruins of this lock-
, / up furnish the stones being hauled, and at
i .er having been debaSed by association with
= whatever is had in society, their strange deS-
/ tiny at length advances them to an import
r ant position in a temple to be devoted to
: / the administration of the science of Justice.

a kind, loving and devoted husband no one

y of friends and we'll wisherS OF the happy
