A BEREAVED FAMILY.
The Eldest Son of sheriff McCandless
Drowned Last Evening.

Drowned Last Evening.
The family circle of Sheriff A. E. Nc
Candless was broken last evening by the
loss from drowning Of Alexander, 14-years
old boy, the oldest and brightest of the
children, and a general favorite with all
with whom he came in contact.
The bov, with a number of companions,
went, as customary, about P. NJ. yester-
day, to bathe in the pool of Lock
No. l, and while going out further
than any of the others in the swell of a
steamer was seen by his companions to
throw up his hands and sink, This COM
mon water trick of boys to see how deep
they would go was not paid any attention
to for several minutes, but when he failed
to appear the alarm was given.
The banks OF the river were soon crowded
by hundreds of friends of the family, all
anxious to recover the boy, wEo, like his
father, the Sheriff, was great favorlte.
Sheriff McCandless and his brother, DIR. j.
Guy McCandless, were soon on. the scene,
and offered 500 reward for the finding of
the body. 1t was nearly IL P. NJ. when
William Thompson and Robert Smothers
grappled the body with hook and brought
it ashore a short distance below the dam.
The remains were Immediately taken in
carriage to the Sheriff's residence, corner of
Center avenue and Dinwiddie street.
A curious coincidence is the fact that
Robert Smothers, the colored janitor of
Municipal Hall, who found the boy, picked
up the remains of his little brother-in-law
the evening before, who was drowned in al
most the same place.

The Curry University

Has opened its twenty-ninth year with the
largest enrolment ever had at the begin
ming of any year. The superior advantages
offered to students of Latin. Greek and
higher mathematics is attracting the atten-
tion of many of the first families of the city,
who appreciate thorough careful training
in these important studies. The beginners
classes in Latin, Greek, Algebra and
Geometry are being organized this week;
while the higher classes are also beginning,
Sallust, Cicero, Analytical Geometry,
Comic Sections, Political Economy and
Advanced German, with classes In all the
intermediate studies.
Students entering any of these classes
during this month will be given special pri-
vate instruction Gf necessary to enable
them to attain good standing in the classes
After October beginners classes in these
branches will not be organized till January
The present month is the best time to
enter these classes, and it may safely be as
serted that better opportunities for securing
a Classical, Scientific or Business education
are not offered in Pennsylvania than those
found at Curry University.

FROHSINN SOCIETY ELECTION.
A Board of Directors Chosen After Six
Hours Hard Work.

Hours Hard Work.
The annual meeting of the stockholders OF
the Frohsinn Singing Society to elect di-
rectors, was held at the Office of the society,
No. 305 Penn avenue, last evening, and it
would seem that there must have been a
number of smoothbore tickets in the field,
judging from the time required to ascertain
the result.
The election commenced at 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. but the result was not ascer-
tanned until 10 o'clock. There was a very
general turn out of members. The new off.
GERS, however, appeared to give satisfaction,
as the best of humor was exhibited late las t
night, and the club rooms were crowded
with members enjoying themselves after
their arduous labors.
Following is the board chosen: Julius
Bieler, Gust Mark, G. W. Kraus, F. W.
Neubert, George Toerge, n. Raiber, Philip
Lange, Louis Brehm and William Spri-
sterbach.
The society proposes to make additions to
its present quarters, but the members stated
that the matter was not discussed last night,
and that there was no special hurry to
begin.

travelling all through the West and Southern
California, returned home last night and
can be found at his old stand, 55 Federal
street, Allegheny. ready for business.
His trip was not one merely of pleasure,
but like all shrewd business men, he took
great interest in the different methods used
in his line of business; also the valuation OF
property, and he feels better prepared to fill
the position as agent for buying and selling
property for. his patrons, and would be
pleased to have them call at 55 Federal

NO DEMONSTRATION WANTED.

The Armstrong Family Wish the Monument
Dedicated Quietly.
In regard to the meeting of the sub-com-
mittee having in charge the matter of hold
ing demonstration on the day of the dedi-
cation of the Armstrong monument. it is
stated that the family of the dead labor
leader object to an open demonstration.
They want the exercises conducted without
any brass band accompaniment, but the en-
thusiasm of the members of the different
organizations will probably prevail, and a
big demonstration will be held.

DOWN INTO THE RAVINE.
A Horse, Buggy and Three People Go Over
n Hundred Foot Cliff.

n Hundred Foot Cliff.
About 10 o'clock last night commotion
was raised at the head of Irwin avenue,
Allegheny, by horse and buggy with a
man and two women, who were intoxicated,
falling over the hill into the ravine. Lieu
tenant Scott and Officer Rhall placed them
all under arrest and sent them to the lookup.
They gave their names as S. A. McAfee,
Mary Smith and Lizzie Baker. The horse
will likely die. 1t is badly cut up and
bruised, and could scarcely be led away
from the place where it was found. The
buggy was complete wreck, but the three
occupants escaped injury.
The spot where they went over the hill is
about 100 feet high and almost direct de-
scent. How they got to the place above on
the hill is mystery, as there is no wagon
road near it, the hillside being open and
rough.
The man McAfee is not known by the po-
lice On his person was found a check for
$1,000, payable to his order, and one for
$500, both made out yesterday:

titled that they had been ordered by the
defendant, as cure for their ills, to hold
copper rod on their hands till It fell
oil; to stand on one ley, etc. Such dis
closures didn't unnerye the doctor in the
least and when asked what he had to
say, to the great surprise of all, produced
a diploma showing he was a regularly
graduated physician. He then explained
that for five years, after leaving college,
he bad vaiuly tried to make living by
regular practice. Then, to avoid starva-
tlon, he hit upon the Quackery dodge,
and made considerable money. But now
that he had been obliged to show his
diploma, the "trick" would work no
longer, and he would be Obliged to move
to some other locality, viii re he would
not be known as a regular physician.
