REPORTED SHOOTING AT POINT MA
RIoN-From a gentleman at Greens
boro we learn that shooting affair
took place at Point Marion, a little
village at the mouth of Cheat river,
in Fayette county, in which Todd
Dougherty received pistol shot in
the breast. 1t seems that few
nights ago Dougherty was trying to
effect an entrance into a private
dwelling in the town named, when
he was fired upon by the woman of
the house with the result above
stated, and he is reported to be lying
in critical condition. We have no
further particulars, nor could we
learn the name of the woman who
did the shooting Waynesburg Re
publican.

RINK AGAIN.-Mr. r. E. Fla

rinkturates semi occasionally.
The creased pig race took place as
was announced, on last Friday night.
To one looking on it seemed that
there was more grease than race.
Doubtless to those who participated,
that were so fortunate or unfortunate
as to lay hands on the thistle de-
structive varmint, it was apparent
that there was more grease than pig.
Who was it said that pig was Il
wild one? Whoever you are, you are
mistaken. Certainly he was a civil
lied animal. All that was the mat
ter he had had "barberous" hands
hold of him, for there was not hair
on him. He was perfectly tame and
apprehended no danger, for there
was none. Grant Cummins caught
the far famed ''ditcher," and we are
now sure of a smash in the pork
market about next Christmas.
Have you heard:
That the band plays, and that
hard too, at the rink every other
night.
Any one say that skating without
music is like dancing without it.
That a certain fellow took his girl
to the rink the other night, and com
ing back passed two ice cream signs
and never saw them.
That some cadets are able to skate
but not to drill.
Anything.
That in certain place in Penn
sylvania there was rink; that there
was great opposition to it because
it was stated that it had tendency
to lower the morality Of the commu
nifty; that some good apostle of
morality stuck batch of dynamite
under one corner of it some time ago,
and the consequence was that some
of the rinkists of that community
have not been seen since.
That some people are ambiguous.
The MAcKEY MILL IMPROVEMENT
A FULL ROLLER MILL TO BE PUT IN
AT ONCE.-The improvement Of the
Mackey mill, mention of which was
made in these columns some time
ago, has been decided upon and will
be made forthwith. 1t includes a
full roller mill of the latest improved
machinery. The work of building
the mill is already in progress and
it will be brought here and put up
as soon as it can be done. 1t is from
the famous builders of mill machin-
cry E. P. Allis & Co., of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. This firm we learn was
the first in the country to make the
roller mill a success The contract
requires the improvements to all be
of the latest inventions, and are guar
anteed to be equal to any Of the great
roller mills in the West that have
made the flour of that section famous
the world over. Such mill will be
an advantage to the place and is a
stroke of commendable enterprise.
DR.. Mackey's business enterprise is
about equal to his skill in his profes
sion, and we regard this as one of his
best, of the former characteristic
The works are guaranteed to equal
to those that make the Pittsburgh
flour much of which is sold in this
market. Success to the new enter
prise.

POISONED BY PAINT.

The Crew of a Norwegian Bark Suffering
from Lead Poisoning.
NEW YORK, June 16.-The Norwegian
bark Bonner Zogea arrived in this port on
May 81, after forty-three days voyage
from Aracaci, Brazil The first mate, who
was acting captain, and the crew Of eigh,
men, were all sick, and went to the Long
Island College Hospital, in Brooklyn. One
of the crew died there, and DR.. Belchsr, the
house surgeon, pronounced the symptoms
those of chronic lead poisoning. An analy-
Ms will he made of the water used by the
crew OF the vessel.
The bark while at Copenhagen, In July,
1884, had one of the water tanks painted
red, and eight days later, when the paint
was supposed to be dry, it WIS filled with
water At Cadiz, Spain, the tank was re-
filed, and during tho subsequent trip to
Rio JaHeiro the captain and two OF the crew
were taken sick with symptoms Of poison
ing after drinking the water. and had to go
to a hospital in that port The water with
which the tank was filled was from stream
OF sluggish water.
While coming to New York the acting
Captain and crew became i'll The Health
Board chemist found the water of a yellow
color with sediment, the latter containing
vegetable and mineral matter of a poison
Gus character.
The lead from the paint on the tank had
also scaled off and been absorbed in the
water. The rolling of the vessel caused the
substances in the tank to spread and thus
the crew got the full benefit of the poison
when drinking. Those in Ehe hospital are
in a fair way to recovery.

Fashions in Grave Yards.

Fashion is potent even in the grave
yard. A marble dealer at Rutland,
Vt. is quoted as saying that fashions
in gravestones are more arbitrary than
almost any others. There is con-
slant changing" he says, land we are
all the time trying to get up something
new, as if we were milliners-there is
a constant demand for it. Something
that is taking in the shape of mon
ument will become the fashion, and
then go, and sometimes come and go
again, just as certain kind of bonnet
might, and just as absolutely and arbi-
trarily so far as you could see. But
then there is some reason for it. You
see. the great bulk of marble goes to
small country conference.-the proper
ton of gravestones in all the large
grounds is comparatively small, when
you come to think about it-and a
dozen monuments just alike make a
good deal of show in the small GEM
eteries. So one kind of monument
comes in, people like it, and others are
bought, the cemetery fills up with
them, and they grow monotonous.
Then somebody puts in one of another
kind that is taking, and others like
that follow, and so it goes; and it
seems to us as if they all changed at
once. IN. Y. Post.

The Safest Place on a Car.
