| Movements of Pitrsburgers and others OF
Wide Acquaintance.
Frank Mcclure. the G.. A. r. six
footer, who bagged the Burgettstown postoffice
appointment recently over u competitors, was
| in Pittsburg Friday last on his way home from
| Gettysburg. Mr.. Mcclure said that Washington
county was on the boom; that lively fair
| would be inauguTated on October i, and that
| the Burgettstown postoffice was doing so large
business that 1t would shortly be in the
! category of Presidential postoffices. He also
| said that it was very foolish fer anyone to
| imagine that the G. A. R. would not resent the
treatment of Corporal Tanner by the President
and Secretary Noble. He had heard almost
Tanner had been bundled out of office, and the
only impression he had gathered was that the
President should have made haste more slowly.
j. Friday, the contractor, has begun
work on the Smithfield street bridge to build
the cable way addition. The bridge will be wild
ened, the additional construction being built
along the eastern side. On the eastern side of
the bridge the stone piers project over six feet
beyond the bridge itself, while on the western
side the bridge structure projects a considera-
BILE distance over the tops of the piers. The tops
of the piers on the eastern side, therefore allow
the addition of width on that side sufficient
to accommodate the cable tracks. Stone cutters
and masons are now at work and more men will
be put on as rapidly as possible.
Mrs. j. f. Maeder. sister and three
children got home from Atlantic City yester-
| day She states that their terror was almost
unendurable. They had plenty to eat, but at
one of the hotels the guests were forced to live
a whole day on tomatoes. The grocers refused
to supply the hotels, as they got their pro-
visions from Philadelphia, and are of no use to
the local grocers. when descends on the At
lantic the gigantic storm wind of the equinox,
and when, landward in his wrath, he scourges
the toiing surges, laden with seaweed from the
rocks" Mrs. Maeder thinks there are pleasanter
places than Atlantic City.
Adam Trautman, the well-known
Southsider, is expected home from Europe to-
day, after a three months tour of the CONT
nent. His friends will remember that Just
prior to his departure from this country for
Europe, he was suddenly taken ILL., and some
alarm. was felt. He subsequently recovered
sufficiently to sail for Europe and the hope was
entertained that the voyage would restore
his health. Contrary to this expectation he re-
turns home in an enfeebled condition. The
glorious climate of Pittsburg may do much
toward restoring his health.
