ulation of more than 100, 900 and is one of
| the richest counties in the State. If we
had few men over here with the business
energy of George F. Huff or Col. Dick

than We do.

Last week Pittsburg family were poi
soned by eating canned salmon; yesterday
the same sort of disaster took place at
Greensburg, with fatal results. The fact
of two families at different points being
poisoned by the same kind of food indicates
that there is danger to every one in eating
canned salmon just now.
The first moving machine accident this
season comes from Armstrong comfy.

came frightened and ran away. Mr.. Egley

| Miss Agnes Harris, II years old, of
Pittsburg, swore out a warrant against
\ Harry Davis on curious charge. In her
affidaN it she states that Davis caught her
| in his arms on the street and rubbed her
chin and cheeks with his stubby, stiff
beard. Her face panied her for some days,
and then sores developed and physician
had to be called in. Davis promised to
pay the doctors bill, but later refused to
do so. Hence the present suit for assault
and battery.

Vale cemetery, ten days after the food,
sitting in her arm chair in the same
| position she was accustomed to occupy
| when lving-her elbow resting upon the
| arm of the chair and her head leaning up
on her hand. This was nearly mile from
where the house stood. A picture of the
house, which hung on the wall just above
where she was seated, was found near by
Mrs. Judge Turnkey of Franklin while
at the Erie depot in Cleveland on the I'd
| inst, figured in quite an exciting episode.
