Work at the mines here has been resumed;
but cars are so scarce that but very little
coal is being shipped. The miners are not
making one fourth time.
The Messrs. Yost, of CarrolltowD, are
drilling prospecting holes on the coal land
of w. Il. Piper & Co. near here. One of
the results is a beautiful flowing well of
pure cold water.
About one hundred buckets of black
berries per day are shipped from Lilly.
Most of them are taken by trainmen and
disposed of to parties IN Altoona and Con-
emaugh. Three cents per quart is the
price paid the pickers.
a terrible accident occurred here on Fri
day night of last week by which two young
men named Andrew Sutton and Adolphus
Diehl lost their lives. These two young
men had been to Summerhil and returning
on freight about 9 O'Clock p NJ. In some
manner, iust how will doubtless remain a
mystery, were thrown under the wheels and
shockingly mutilated. Their bodies were
not found until 2:30 Saturday morning. The
body of Sutton was severed in the middle
and both arms were cut off also the top of
bis head was crushed, while Diehl's body
was simply a ground up mass gathered up
with shovels in which a hand and foot we're
the largest pieces. Both men were in the
employ of d. K Wilhelm at his saw mill on
Ben's creek, and were steady. industrious
young mel. The remains of Sutton were
inferred in the Catholic cemetery here on
Sunday after an appropriate sermon by
Rev. Father Browne His funeral, which
was attended by the Knights of Labor, was
one of the largest ever seen here. Diehl's
remains were inferred in the cemetery near
his home, which is near ButlersvilIe, Blair
county. Both were unmarried and aged
about a years.
But from these sad, shocking scenes we
turn to the brighter side. This week the
wedding bells have been ringing their mer-
riest peas.
The first wedding took place on Tuesday
and was that of Mr.. Frank Leap and Miss
Ellen McMOrris, both Of Washington town
ship. The attendants were Mr.. James Fra
ney and Miss Emma Leap. Rev. Father
Browne, of 81. Roses Catholic church, said
the words which we have no doubt made
happy FOR life two Of our most respected
young people.
At the same place and by The same Rev.
Father, on Monday, August 2jth at 7 O'Clock
A. NJ, Mr.. f. Blair Short and Miss Lizzie,
daughter of Mr.. e. Robine, were uuited In
the holy bonds OF matrimony in Nuptial
Mass. Of the groom it may be said in all
sincerity, he is one of the finest young men
to be met with anywhere. Steady, sober.
. honest and industrious, he has a host of
friends unlimited, who Will join us IN wish
ing every blessing which can tend TO make
life happy upon him and his fair young
bride, whom none know bus to love and
respect for the virtues which adorn true
wOmanhOOd.
I Two other young ana loving hearts were
Joined in the silken tie OF matrimony by
Rev Father Browne, on Wednesday morning
also, in the persons Of Mr. jacob Bender and
Miss Katie Scanlan. Both are Young, hand
some and respected, and are well calculated
to make each other happy throughout the

few lining their path through life, is the
earnest wish of their friends. Yours. c.
