Thursday morning last our town
was again visited by another destruc-
tive fire. Between the hours of 6
and 7 o'clock ON the day named the
cry of fire. firev' rang out on the
crisp, cold morning air, startling ma
nv of our people from their slumbers
and in a moment, as it were the
whole town was up in arms with
buckets and vessels of all kinds hur-
rving toward the West end of the
North Ward This time the scene
of the conhagration was the residence
of Miss Keziath Allison, which, with
most of the household goods was en-
tirely licked up by the flames. The
origin of the fire is not positively
known, but it is supposed to have
been caused from a defective Hue.
Miss Allison, as we understand, got
up in the morning and after building
a fire in the cooking stove and max
ing some preparations for breakfast,
opened door going into an adjoin-
room, when she was met by sheet
of flame. She Immediately gave the
alarm, but before assistance arrived
the fire had gained such Roadway as
to be beyond control, and an effort
was then made to save the furniture,
which was partly successful, but
much of it was destroyed. Among
which was an old loom and many
other family relics, highly priced by
the lady on account of their associa-
tions. The loss is estimated at
about $1,000; with an insurance of
$500, in the Royal, of Liverpool, Eng
land, through the agency of J. A. f.
Randolph, this place The loss will
fall heavily upon Miss Allison, as
all she had was invested in the prop
erty, and it was the saving of a life
of industry and frugality. The in
surance will probably build hei
another small house. She has the
sympathy of the entire community
and will not lack for friends so We
are told.
James Allison, brother, who
with his wife resided in the same
house, met with total loss so far az
regards his personal and household
effects. He had a valuable watcl
burned up, and neither he nor hi
wife saved sufficient clothing from
the flames for immediate USE Rep

es IL ON "a West Virginia Girl.

During the year 1875 one Ii. l..
Lindsey, of Westmorcland county,
Pa, young man Of good habits, and
who stood well in the community,
This father being recognized as one
of the most respected and well-to-do
farmers of the county, was united in
marriage to Miss Callie Ashman,
handsome and popular member of
the social circle. For several years
all went well with the happy couple,
and the family circle was enlarged
by the addition of four bright, intel
ligent children. Lindsey was sol
der in the late war, and in conse-
auence of an honorable wound re-
ceived in the battle of Fredericks
burg (where he as the gallant stand
ard bearer of his regiment carried
the colors until from loss of blood he
fell exhausted with his face to the
enemy he now receives quarterly
pension. About two years ago his
wife, through the death of a relative,
came into possession of few hun
bred dollars. With all the conf
dence that a wife ought to repose
in her husband, Mrs. Lindsey en-
trusted the money to her husband.
With the ostensible purpose of look
ing up some profitable investment,
the unfaithful partner left home,
taking the cash with him. The hus-
bands absence grew from days into
weeks and months, and the grief
stricken wife lamented her truant
lord as lost She spent all the little
she had left in vain search, and all
proved fruitless until during the last
| few days when she learned that
Lindsey is a citizen of Peasants
county, living in Union district,
where he in 1885 wooed and won a
Miss Adams, an IS year old charmer,
alleged the illegitimate daughter OF
Miss Beck Adams, of Union district.
The girl now, Mrs. Lindsey No. two
is said to be good looking and vo-
luptuous brunette, with ordinary in
telligence and but little education.
Lindsey has been engaged in farm
ing and living pretty well, while his
poor wife, with her helpless children,
was daily struggling for the common
necessaries of life, having been SO
reduced in circumstances that she
was compelled to make her living at
the wash-tub.
Last night her attorney in Pleas
ants county, Col. D. b. johnson
made affidavit before c. p. Barker
! j. p. of Union district, and Lindsey
was arrested and taken to st. Marys
where hearing was had befor'

An Accident at Fairchancc.

An accident which resulted in the
loss of an arm occurred at Fairchance
Wednesday of last week. Cal Will
son, a hauler in the coal mines of the
Fairchance Furnace company. was
going into the mine. He was riding
in the empty wagon, with his left arm
over the side, the mule going on trot.
In making turn in the road the car
was thrown too far to one side, catch
ing his left arm between the car and
the rib, badly crushing his arm, and
producing what is known as COM
pound comminated fracture of the
elbow. The soft tissues being
broken and communicating with the
fracture, upon examination it was
found necessary to amputate it
about the middle of the arm. Dr.
Smith Fuller, Jr, of this place, and
Drs. Holbert and Longanecker, OF
Fairchance, performed the operation,
1t was entirely successful. He stood
the shock remarkably well and is

About all the guineas in the
county, as well as hundreds Of
chickens and turkeys, froze to death
during the blizzard which set in here
on the evening of the Sth inst.
At the farm of our ex-chief, in Nor
gan township, an entire flock of
guineas, with the exception of one
tough old customer, succumbed to
the intense cold, and dropped from
the roost dead. At the residence OF
VIM. B. Stewart, Esq, short dis
lance away, as many as eleven chick
ems were taken from under the up
ping block" where they had taken
shelter from the storm, all quite
dead. Other neighbors also suffered
more or less losses in the same line.

Zachariah Council, the founder of
Connellsville, was justice of the
peace for Yohogania county, Virgin
ia. After the boundaries were cs-
tablished and the disputed territory
found to be in Pennsylvania, Yoho-
gania county was abolished. The
following rather curious and quite
interesting entry appears on the re-
cords of the court of Yohogania
county: "June 26, TIT, upon the
information of Zachariah Council,
gentleman, that James johnson did
this day swear two profane oaths
and two profane cusses. Ordered
that the said James johnson be fined
twenty shillings, lawful money, for
the same" - Clipper.

A SMOOTH complexion can be had
by every lady who will use Parker's
Tonic. For promptly regulating the
liver and kidneys and purify the

this is the reason why it so quickly
removes pimples and gives a rosy
bloom to the cheeks.

The first annual report of the
county Superintendent of Free
Schools shows that but three schools
in the county have made beginnings
toward libraries, and that these have
not yet gotten far along in that di-
rection. This might probably be
better than it is.
Another interesting fact we de-
sire to call attention to: In Bat
telle district 66 cases of corporal
punishment are reported, while Cass
district reports but cases. Ii the
County Superintendent had added a
foot note stating in which of these
districts he found the best discipline
and the best work it would have
been very strong argument either
for or against the use Of the rod.
We hope that he may be willing to
state in some form his observations
upon the subject, for the benefit OF
present and prospective teachers.

We have agitated again and again
the question of bridging Cheat river,
and every food or freeze brings for
ward the argument anew and
strengthens it. Hardly any river
in West Virginia needs bridge
more than Cheat does at Ices Ferry.
1t is wide, deep and, following heavy
rains, it is turbulent and dangerous.
1t is on mail route, and when swol-
len or filed with ice the mails must
lie over. No one denies that a bridge
is very badly needed, but no one has
made any decided movement toward
it's building.
