The KerrviIle paper Of April 26th last, con-
tanned this item:
MI. R. P Kibbe was in town this week on
business. We congratulated him on his healthy
appearance and good looks generally. He said
there is considerable difference in his appear
ance now from what he looked like when he first
came to this country, about ten years ago. He
suffering with asthma, had had several
hemorrhages, could hardly walk, and the doc
tors told him he couldn't live three months.
Sounds like a patent medicine testimonial,
don't it?'' he added; but took no medicine in
mine-just little good whisky and plenty OF
outdoor exercise.
There are citizens of KerrviIle and Kerr coun-

REFUSED A NOS.SUIT.

Judg. White Wishes TO Hear all tie Evil
dencc,
Tne evidence on behalf Of the plaintiff
in the suit of Tarbtll against the p. r. r..
was all in this morning and counsel an
nounced that their case would close.
The attorneys for the railroad at once
Eoved the Court to enter judgment of
compulsory non.sut for the following
reasons
First-That no evidence had been pro-
duced showing that the railroad company
had not taken every reasonable precau-
ton and exercised the best care to pro-
vide for the safety of its passengers.
Second-That no negligence has been
81 own.
Third That the place at Conemaugh
where the two sections of the Day Ex-
press were located, was considered by all
to be the safest that was then within the
reach of the Railroad Company.
Lrth-That the flood was visitation
of Providence, and was of such an extent
and so enormous that neither human
Judgment nor the best of care could either
anticipate or provide against it.
Judge White heard the application and
stated at once that he would refuse the
non suit, as he preferred to hear all the
evidence in the case before deciding the
questions raised in the motion. The trial
then proceeded.

The Committee appointed TO distribute
the 4NaG and Erpress fund report as fol-
lows:
We, the Committee appointed to dis
tribute the Mail and BgpreSS fund, have
finished the work assigned us. We have
labored faithfully and consclentiously to
do Justice to ALL That we might be able
to do this we have spared neither time
nor labor. Going over the circumstances
of all the applicants ds they gave them to
the Committee, and seeking inform tion
from others as far as our time and op-
portunity would allow, we distributed to
those who appeared to be the most
needy.
More than two thousand persons made
application and over one thousand were
granted relief. That we have made mis-
takes is probable, but we are convinced
that we have done the best possible under
the circumstances. Comparatively few
of the persons granted assistance were
personally known 20 us, no questions
were asked as to church connection, aud
we made ro appropriation to ourselJ es
or personal relatives. We have done the
work without receiving or expecting any
pecuniary reward, and if we have failed
to do the best possible in every case, we
most sincerely regret it.

FOUND In THE RIVER.
A MANS BODY DISCOVERED IN THE
CONEMAUGH LAST EVENING
ABoUT FIVE O'CLOCK.

Jeremiah Lynch, of the Fourtee enth Ward,
Found Dead in the River, After an Alb
sence of Several Days-No Alarm be-
cause He Was Thought to Be Out of
the City.
jeremiah Lynch, a young man, of the
Fourteenth ward, formerly Minersvile,
after having been at work during last
Monday, accompanied an acquaintance
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Station,
about 8 O'Clock ia tie afternoon, who
took the train. Since then his friends
have heard nothing of him until hls dead
body was found by Mr.. James Dyson last
eveLing about 5 o'clock in the river
short distance above the site of the old
bridge connecting Millville and Cambria
borough.
At II O'Clock Monday night he was
seen in house on Iron street, and at
later hour he was in the Company's water
closet, where at still later Lour his hat
was found. 1t was but short distance
from this place that his body was recov-
cred. At this same place about seven
years ago he met with an accident on the
Cambria Iron Company Railroad by which
he lost one of his legs.
The fan lily were not alarmed at his abb
sence from home, thinking that he had
gone to Pittsburgh to get new artificial
leg, which he had ordered some time ago,
and which was supposed to be ready for
him. And the first information they re.
ceived was the intelligence of the finding
of his body last evening.
He was born in Wales of Irish parents
twenty years ago, and the family came
to this place when he was aged five years.
His father, Michael Lynch, died nearly
three years ago. For many years the sub
ject of this notice worked in the rail de
pertinent of the Cambria lion Company
under 7. p. Keedy, and was an indus
trious and inoffensive young man, having
many friends in this community.
He is survived Ivy his mother, Mrs.
Bridget Lynch, two sisters, Mary and
Kate, and brother, Michael, who reside
in the Fourteenth ward, and by two broth
ers, Daniel and John, who are at Port
Royal. South Carolina.
