rOh lHE TIMES.
MARYsvILLE, Pa, Feb. IL, 1881.


Mr.. EDITOR The ice on the Susquehanna
moved at this point to-day. Fears were enter
tanned that the N. @. R., and p. K. r., bridges
located at the northern and southern limits of
our town would scarcely bear the pressure of a
sudden break up but at this writing all seems
safe. Reports reached us to-day of extensive
damages resulting from the sudden break up,
on the Juniata from Its mouth till some dis
tance above Millerstown also ON Powels
Creek, In Dauphin county, between Clark's
Ferry and Halifax.
The Geib Brothers have finished and are
now living In their handsome new residence on
the hill.
Mr.. Hess, formerly resident of this place,
has been promoted to the position of chief
dispatcher in place Of Mr.. Kapp, who asked to
be returned to Baltimore.
Messers. e. Neyhart & Son, through the
promptness Of The Newark Fire, the Western
Assurance, and the Farmers and Mechanics'
Mutual Fire Insurance Co.'S, In which they
were Insured, when their mill burned down
several months ago, have their new mill ready
for operation.

ABILENE, Kan, Feb. 2, 1881.

ABILENE, Nan, reO. ~ 1901.
Mr.. EDITOR IL regularly get your valuable
paper and see some news In IL from all parts Of
the globe. II you spare me q little space will
try and tell little of this State. 1t is now
year and one month since left the last time.
l felt happy when had such long trip before
me, leaving Duncannon and landing In the
city of San Francisco, Cal. But all the enjoy
ments Of life and those large pears we read Of
would not keep me there. l still thought there
Is no place like Abilene, and think 80 yet, as
] am here now and intend to stay. Everything
seems to be little dull, but we have bright
prospect ahead. The expectations are for
good wheat crop next summer, as we had
plenty of snow to protect the crop. This was
an unusual cold winter 1t got cold the second
Monday in November and II has been freezing
ever since. The ground is frozen from eighteen
inches to two feet deep, but still our cattle are
not suffering, as they get used to the cold
weather. l think times must be hard In the
east, as still more and more are coming here.
Every man that came from Pennsylvania has
friends coming out except myself. Prices of
produce here Is as follows: Wheat brings from
45 to rs cents per bushel, corn 25 to 30 cents,
pork from S2.75 to S310, butter Is to %, eggs
from 20 to 25. Groceries are about as cheap
as with you. You can buy fine two-horse
wagon at from $50 to S75, horses from $40 to
$3.50. Weather is moderating. If was to
advise any one to come out here II would be
one that has plenty of money the country is
full enough of those that have none. A man
that thinks of coming here without trade and
without money had better not come, as Kansas
has no poor houses. Carpenters can get work
any time and at good wages. l have now
contract of building two store rooms, the
buildings to be 50x100 feet, two story-high ,
and built of brick. Abilene Is still on the
boom. l was out in Russell county last Sun
day. Crops look promising there. Mr.. Har-
nish is so we'll pleased that he would not go
back to Perry again. Best wishes TO you from
DAVE.

Another Sudden Death. = We were
shocked to learn on Monday morning
of the unexpected death of the wife Of
Mr.. ]. s. Whitmore residing near this
place. Mrs. W., had gone to bed Sun
day evening In her usual health. Mr..
Whitmore was In the room over where
his wife slept, taking care OF his father
who is Ill, and one of the children was
sleeping with her mother. About four
o'clock the little girl was awakened by a
strange noise her mother was making
and called to her father. When he
reached the room his wife was insensl-

Mr.. Whitmore had DIR. Striker sum-

the opinion that she had been dead for
over an hour, the cause of her death
probably being heart disease. The de-

residing near Duncannon.

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week:
A colored man named Wilson residing
in Shippensburg, imbibed too much on
Friday evening, and on his way home,
to colored hill, he fell by the wayside
and was found corpse on Saturday
morning, having frozen to death.
On Friday of last week, Herman
Bash, residing on South Seneca Avenue,
had occasion to visit jeremiah Angles
residence, near Cobweb Mill, and when
passing through the yard, he slipped on
the ice and fell, breaking the thigh
bone of his left leg. He was removed to
his residence, and DIR. G. "A. Rowland
was called, who rendered the necessary
surgical aid, and the patient is doing
well, Notwithstanding his advanced
age-he being over seventy years old.
The case of ellison Smith and Mary
J.. Smith, his wife, in her right, against
the Borough of Shippensburg, for dam
ages, was tried before Judge Herman at
Carlisle, this week. The suit for DANA
ges was brought by Mrs. Smith for
an accident, which occurred to her
while on her road homeward, some
twelve months since. She alleges that,
owing to the crossing on Orange and
Penn Streets not being in proper repair
she fell and fractured the bones of one
of her limbs, and through her counsel
placed the damages at $4,000. A great
many witnesses appeared on both sides,
the jury on Thursday brought in YER
dict for $2l0.00.--NetOs.
On Monday afternoon Conductor Frank
Stahl of the s. M. r.. r.. met with a
serious accident whilst engaged in coup
ling the engine to a freight car. Mr.. s.,
in attempting to make the coupling
slipped and fell and was caught between
the bumpers. He was severely squeezed

Bridges GOne.-The fog and rains of
Thursday and Friday had the effect to
so rot the Ice that 1t commenced TO move
off the Juniata on Friday afternoon,
doing as II was feared it would do, great
damage. The bridges across the Juniata
are most of them damaged and some
nearly or wholly carried off. The first
bridge TO give way was the county bridge
at Newton Hamilton. Two spans of
Lewistown bridge next were carried off.
Shortly afterwards portion of the
MifIlintown bridge was also swept away
by the ice. About o'clock two spans
of the Millerstown bridge was taken,
and in its passage down the river 1t
struck the bridge at Newport tearing
away two spans of it. The bridge at the
mouth of the Juniata at this time (Sat-
urday EVENING" is safe though some
what racked. The wires of the Western
Union, west of Newport are down SO
that but little information can be got of
other damages in that direction. From
other localities in this county we have
not yet heard of any damages from the
water, but expect to hear of the loss of
some small bridges. The change of
weather Saturday night stopped the
melting of the snow and may prevent
further damage.

In the hips, and although no limbs were
broken, his injuries are OF n serious
character. A physician was immedl-
ately summoned, and DIR. Miller was on
the spot In q few moments and afforded
the injured man all possible relief. He
was shortly afterwards removed to his
home at Pine Grove.

Refused New Trial. = The Snyder
County Court on Tuesday overruled the
motion for new trial in the case of
Emanuel Ettinger, Israel Erb, and Jona-
than Meyer, convicted of the murder of
Gretchen Kintzler, an old woman, and
pronounced sentence of death on all of
them. They bad all had separate trials,
and in each case the evidence as to their
guilt was conclusive. Meyer was tried
in December last, and the testimony
against him was even more conclusive
than that elicted at the trials of Ettinger
and Erb, additional facts having been
obtained as to the horrible murder from
young woman and Detective Lyons,
who worked up the case, to whom the
defendant had made a confession of his
connection with the killing of Kintzler
and his wife, who had lived for many
years in a quaint old log house and
were known to have considerable mcn-
ey. The murder was committed in
December, 1877, and soon after several
of the suspected parties were tried for
the murder of the old man, but the jury
discarded the testimony of one of the
accomplices, young girl, and they were
acquitted. The case was then placed in
the hands of Detective Lyons, of Read
ing, who has devoted nearly two years
to the pursuit of the murderers, who
were the second time put on trial for the
murder of Kintzler's wife. The court
directed the sheriff and Detective Lyons
to convey the murderers to Jail.
