Death of Mike Farrell.


Mike Farrell, glass blower, came to
this town, with his family, about three
years ago. He was a good workman and
often made as high as 81 a day, but through
intemperate drinking lost his position.
After the bottle works here were burned
he went with the crowd to Anderson, Ind.
but came back from there, last April, il
poor health, and since his return has done
no good.
On Wednesday he was with some loalers
about the board yard, and all were drunk
When his wife got home from her work
that afternoon, Mike was lying on the
floor and complaining of being sick. II,
said that he thought some beef-tea would
help him, and his wife went to the meal
market and got a piece of beef but wher
she returned he was unconscious and con
tinued so till his death, which occurred
about 10 p. NJ.
The wife and her four children live il
the back part Of the old drugstore building
on jefferson st. They are in want anC

On Monday night last, man who went
down the alley back of the Vogeley House
to get horse hitehed there, saw a man
apparently intoxicated lying in front of
Gregg's livery stable He called the night
watchman, and the two men lifted the
drunken man and carried him into the
lookup The drunken man was breathing
heavily, but the men who carried him
thought that this was simply the result Of
the liquor and paid no attention to it.
Next morning when the police went to
the lookup for the man, he was found to he
dead, and bruise on his head indicated
that hc.had fallen from the doorway Of the
NOW of the stable in front of which he was
found lying.
His name was George Hallam. He was
brought to this town few weeks ago by
Watson Taylor, the colored householder,
ahd spent most of his time at the race
track. He was a man of about % years of
age, was good workman, and his only
fault was his indulgence in liquor Among
his effects was found receipt from the
postmaster of Pittsburg, dated March 10,
1889, for registered letter sent to Mrs.
Peek of Lexington, Ky, and on the receipt
was written the name, Mrs Annie Peak.
An inquest was held, Tuesday morning, by
Coroner Storey and a jury of six men who
found the facts as above stated, also that
Halam had been drinking since last Satur-
day, that he was much intoxicated Monday
evening and had obtained permission to go
to the hay NOW to sleep; that he had fallen
from the door of the NOW to the alley be
low, distance of about ten feet, and that
his death was due to intoxication and the
shock Of the fall; that bottle partly filled
with liquor was found on his person, etc.

at lively rate. 1t, however after few
minutes, ceased flowing altogether.
The tools were run and it was found to
have bridged. The sand settled around
the tools so quickly, that it came near
holding them fast. After running the

mOny.

Several families near Harmony, and
among them those Of Daniel Feidler and
AbrsAafis Ziegler who live on opposite
sides of the creek, a short distance above
the town, are accommodating boarder.
from the city this summer.
On Tuesday morning Of this week, five
young ladies who are boarding at Feidlers
got into his spring-wagon and drove over
the bridge to Ziegler's, and sat in the
wagon in front Of the house talking to
some boarders there The railroad passes
the front of Ziegler's house through deep
cut, right along the road and when the
whistle of an approaching train was heard,
| the ladies were warned Of their danger and
advised to get out Of the wagon till the
train passed, but they did not think it
necessary to do so.
As the train came nearer. however. the
! horse became frightened and backed them
all over the embankment, and threw them
headlong in front of the locomotive, and
one of them-Miss 0ppenheimer was cut
to pieces and instantly killed, two others
| had limbs crushed and sustained injuries
that may prove fatal, and the other two
escaped with but slight injuries. The
horse, also, was skinned and cut to pieces.
The names of the ladies in the wagon
we're Misses Mamie 0ppenheimer, Bella
Floersheim, Amanda Klee, Bella Wormser
and Miss Herzog.
The remains of Miss oppenheimer were
taken to her home in Allegheny that eve
ming Miss Klee whose leg was broken
and Miss Floersheim whose hip was dis
located were also taken to their homes
there and the others went home. Miss
Oppenheimer was the only daughter of
Moses 0ppenheimer, the clothier.
Since the above was put in type we have
received the following from correspond
ent at Harmony.
For the past two weeks several young
ladies from Pittsburg have been stopping
at Judge Fiedler's and on the fatal morn
the young ladies asked Mr.. Fidler for his
horse and buggy to take drive. So they
proceeded on their way till they came to
the residence of Mr.. 4. Ziegler where they
stopped to chat with friends, when a heavy
freight train came laundering past and the
lady having the lines pulled on them and
the horse backed the wagon down over
the bank, when half of the train had passed
the wagon (filled with its human freight
and horse went down against the train that
was running at a high rate of speed Miss
0ppenheimer, daughter of NJ. 0ppenheim
er, the Market street clothier was instant
" killed and Miss Bella Floersheim had
her right hip dislocated while Miss Klee
was severely bruised about the face and
shoulders, the other three ladies all escap
ed injury Drs Redmond, Ralston and
Fielder were soon on hands, and the
wounds were soon dressed and dislocation
reduced Friends were telegraphed for
and came on the 3 pm. train, and the $50
train took the body home, and Miss
Floersheim was placed on a cot and DR..
Redmond went to the city with the sor-
rowing party.
All the parties moved in the highest He
brew society of Pittsburg, and were be-
loved by all who knew them.

ONCE MORE.
The Truth and Nothing but the
Truth.

Many years ago when we, along with
our fellow citizens, were paying $50 to
$3.50 for a buggy, we conceived the idea
that less than 500 ought to buy buggy
good enough for almost any man. We set
about investigating the matter-went to
the largest manufactures in the L. s and
made a contract for a full carload to be
made to our order We had the cash in
our pocket and the result was that the
huggies were made and shipped to us.
OuI neighbors (we lived in Prospect. this
county. them said we made a mistake
that we could not sell them--and we con
fess when we did see them all set up in a
row we felt little as though we had an
elephant on our hands in a dry summer.
But we had good buggies, bought low for
cash, and of course we could sell low. 1t
was the first time in the history of Butler
county that good buggy could be bought
for less than 500. In thirty daySwe We're out
of buggies and another carload on the way.
Everybody wanted one Of our buggies-
the rich man saw they weres good enough
for him to ride in and the poor man for the
to own buggy. Just so it went; our bus
mess grew, ncighbor told neighbor; it
spread all over this State and into other
States until we found it impossible TO car
~ on our large business without good ship
ping facilities. We selected Butler as the
place last November. We purchased the
old manufacturing establishment formerly
conducted by g. c. Roessing & Son, on
Cunningham street. where we have located
permanently. and Butler ear boast to day
of having probably. the largest wholesale
and retail carriage dealers in the State.
We keep III stock everything in the Car
riage, Wagon, Cart Harness and Robe
line. We have top buggieS from $40 mp to
the very finest hand made work Carts,
Sl2 up; harness, SO to the very best hand
made harness to be found anywhere, &c.
Our success in business we attribnte to our
rules first adopted, Nerer ash erhOrbitdRt
prices. NcCcr HiiSrepFeSeRt Thus we have
won the good will and confidence of every
customer We say with pride that we have
sold hundreds of buggies on time and never
had man refuse to pay his note on ac-
count of the article not being as represent
ed. This Is remarkable. considering our
nine years business. We have plenty of
money; never sell a note. We discount
every bill, pay no rent; we give our Gus.
toners the benefit of all this, and are close
cash purchasers Our large experience
gives US knowledge of the business that
