 Dolores Rodriguez, wife of Chilian vlvandiere, was present at one of the battles with the Peruvians and saw her husband shot down in a charge. She rushed to him as he fell, and when she saw that he was dead she buckled on his cartridge belt around her own waist, snatched his rifle and rushed into the hottest of the fight to avenge his death. She fought throughout the bloody action and was promoted to the position of the same as held by her hus- band.

The world has temporarily ceased to revolve around Boston. It wheels around Forepaugh's alleged white ele- phant. Ex-United States consuls, dis tinguished foreigners, learned men, scientific men, scholars, animal trainers, jockeys, sporting men, circus men, riders, reporters and ministers of the gospel are pelting each other with cards, state- ments, and aflidavits, to the effect that the Forepaugh elephant is transparent imposition, kalsomnized fraud, or that he is genuine sacred Siamese white elephant, from White county. All this advertises the white elephant and the Forepaugh's show, and it also furnishes good pay reading matter for the Phila- delphia papers,

The Ford.Lacy case, which has
been in the courts for the past FIVE
years, and which came into promi-
nence in 1883 in a dispute of juris-
diction between the Allegheny and
Forest county courts, has been settled.
About the middle of May, 1888, when
Judge Brown, of Forest county, who
has appointed S. V. Davis receiver,
made an order which virtually placed
the management of the estate in a
dispute in tue hands Of Samuel Lewis
the receiver appointed by the AL
legheny county court. On June 8,
1883, Judge Brown reversed that or
der and thus brought the two county
courts into conflict. The fact that
both receivers had full sway over the
vast amount of property involved re.
suited in bringing them in contact
with each other and complicating
matters very much.
On June Is, 1883, Samuel Lewis
filed a petition asking that an attach.
ment be issued against Davis for con
tempt. The petitioner stated that his
appointment had been sustained by
the supreme court, but that by some
legal proceedings in Forest county
Davis and several defendants bad en-.
tered into cOllusion TO keep him
from performing bis duties as receiver.
An answer was filed by the opposing
counsel, but on June % Judge Stowe
ordered the issue of an attachment
against Davis. The question then
arose whether, since Forest county
had endorsed and complied with the
Allegheny county court in appointing
Davis, the sheriff or his deputies could
not be prevented from serving the at
tachment. A stragetic movemenG was
then planned. The writ was placed
10 hands of Detectives Harrison and
Soyder, who after lounging about
Warren for couple of weeks, seized
Davis one evening at the depot and
rushed him off on a train. Davis
friends got a writ Of habeas corpus
from Judge Brown, and started in
persuit on a special train. The news
had been telegraphed ahead to Kane
and when the two officers arrived
there they we're attacked by mob,
and. their prisoner taken from them.
Davis was then taken back to War
reu on the special and the detectives
returned to Pittsburg.
A deputy sheriff from Forest coun-
ty afterward came to Pittsburg to
arrest the officers for the attempted
abduction, but only succeeded in ar
resting Snyder, Harrison escaping by
jumping out Of the window of the
mayors Office. Harrison made his
escape because his wife was lying al
the point of death and Snyder was
soon after released.
A few months ago, the parties ia
the suit seeing that The Litigation
would be endless, petitioned Comm L
Pleas Court of Allegheny county to
issue an order allowing q settlement
by amicable agreement. The order
was allowed about three weeks ago
the settlement was made, and on Fri
day last, as stated all was completed
The sum paid by the Lacy party, in

Geo. S. Hunter Loses Two Build
ings by Fire.
KELLETrvILLE FIRE.

The extensive Extract Works of
Kellett & Co., located at the mouth of
Salmon Creek, fifteen miles up Tio-
nesta creek, were burned to the
ground on Friday night last. When
discovered the entire inside of the
building was enveloped in flames, aud
all attempts to stay the fire were of no
avail. 1t is supposed the FIRE origi.
mated at the arches, the timbers next
thereto catching from live Goals that
had rolled out after the works bad
been shut down and all fire supposed
to have died out. Mr.. Andrews, the
Superintendent had left on Friday
morning for Oil City with some part
>of the machinery that had given out,
and had left instructions to shut down
at noon, which had been done. Sup.
posing there would be no danger that
night, the watchman did not 90 on,
and SO the fire got under full beadway
before discovered, which was about
10 o'clock. Everything inside the
building was destroyed, cave perhaps
the boilers, besides several cords of
bark.
These works cost originely about
$35, 900, and there was an insurance on
them to the amount of $4,000 or
$4,000. Whether they will be re-
built or not, cannot now he determin.
ed, but it is natural to presume they
will be on account of the immense
amount of bark which the Company
still owns in that section. The de-.
structiOn of this property is serious
blow to the community, as it uot only

GEORGE s. HUNTERS LOSS.
Last Thursday night us many Of
our people were turning in for the
night" the cry of sire r' broke upon
their ears. Ed. Richards had dis.
coverd the FIRE, which proved to be
the vacant house next to the depot
and instantly gave the alarm. AL
though the response on the part of oui
people was prompt, it was impossible
to save the building, and as the house
adjoining, occupied by Mr.. J. J.
Craig as residence, was in danger
the work of removing his household
goods was commenced. Everything
it contained was removed in fair con.
dition. No sooi er had Mr.. Craig:
goods been removed than the build.
ing took fire and also burned to the
ground. A strong northward breeze
carried the sparks to Mr.. Hunters
barn and dwelling house and placed
them in great danger, and it was
only through extraordinary efforts
that they we're saved. The depot wa;
also caught and was we'll under way
it being saved only by the most fran
tic efforts. A spark from a north
honnd looounotiua 20 lIino On the rooi
of the first mentioned building wa:
the cause of the fire. The building
belonged to Mr.. Hunter, whose loss il
about 81 500. Mr.. Craig's loss will
not be less than 500, while Joseph
Keen loses about 200 bushels of corn
trunk and all his clothing except
what he had on at the time. We be.
lieve that none Of these parties were
insured.
