There now lives mule in the northern
part Of Dooiy county that has been a
bone of much contention. For fifteen
years or more he has been included in a
schedule of homestead" Although,
this patient and long suffering beast OF
burden labors under this disability, his
master, at every opportunity, loads him
with mortgage. Several efforts have
been made to sell him under these mort
cages, but he possesses the characteristic
obStinacy of his race, and has such a ten
der regard for family feelings that hu
absolutely refuses to leave the old home
So he plows patiently on, year after year
listening for the dinner horn in the same
direction, slakIng his thirst at tie same
ieuntain and looking longingly in the
well-nigh empty crib, While his master
applies mortgage after mortgage, none of
them have yet turned to sticking plas-
tiers"

There's Jane SepkaA
And Ann Maria,
With Obediah
And Jedekiah,
In our choir.
And Jane Sophia, soparno sings
So high you'd think her voice had
wings
To soar above all earthly things,
When she leads OFF on Sunday;
While Ann Maria's alto choice
Rings out in such harmonious voice
That sinners in the choir rejoice,
And wish she'd sing till Monday.
Then Obediah's tenor high
Is unsurpassed beneath he sky;
just hear him sing Sweet by and By
And you will sit and wonder.
While Jedekiah's bass profound
Goes down so low it jaIs the ground,
And wakes the echoes miles around,
Like distant rollings thunder.
Talk not to us of PATHS fame,
OF Nicolini's tenor tame,
of Cary's alto-but name
OF Whitney's ponderous basso!
They sing NO more like Jane Sophia,
And Ann Mariah, 0bediah,
And Jedekiah in our choir,
Than cats sing like TomassO!

Hall, of this city, who is at the head of
the company, when asked what its OBJ

"A great portion of the natural gas
wells in Ohio have failed. notably those
which have been supplying the cities
of Dayton, Columbus. Lima and Fosto-
ria. There are 100000 worth of gas
mains there lying idle, and there are
thousands of people who have come to
depend upon natural gas for heat
and light in their homes and
business houses, and it is extensively
used by manufacturers and for motive
power. Our plan is to make use of the
mains and pipes already laid and now
unused, and we will at once begin the
construction of dozen different plants
in those cities. The processes and APP
planes employed by our Ohio com

at our Deering plant in this city, en-

q THE sCHMERTZ FAILURE.
An Interesting Row Is Brewing
in the Case.

PIrTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 13.-To-day
sensational allegations concerning the
SchmertZ failure became general prop
erty in business and legal circles.
Representatives of w. F. Morgan
& Co.. Charles w. Lee. and
Gould IL Walker, of Boston, three of
Schm ertZ's Eastern creditors have been
in Pittsburg since Tuesday investigat-
ing matters. w. S. Pier has been en-
powered to file bill in equity in their
behalf against Schmertz and the rela-
tives and friends in whose favor the
numerous judgments have been con-
fesSed in larg6 sums. Mr.. Pier, it is
said, will file his bill tomorrow.
alleging that Mr.. SchmertZ confessed
judgments to members of his family
and friends for the purpose of defraud-
ing outside creditors of their Just
claims. An interview was had tonight
with Mr.. Qumby, a sOn-in-law of Mr..
Schmertz and also his assignee. Mr..
Quimby admits that the Eastern credi-
tors are here and that they are dis
satisfied with the arrangements as made.
Mr.. Quimby denies, however, that there
were any complaints of crOokedness. He
will meet the Boston gentlemen tO-mor-
row. and says Mr.. SchmertZ' books are
yet in the hands of the sheriff, and that
until he can have access to them he
cannot definitely ascertain how Mr.
SbhmertZ' affairs stand.
BUTLER, Pa, Aug. 13.-The Standard
Plate Glass works to-day passed into
the hands of D. E. Wheeler as receiver.
This action is the result of amieable ar
Tangement between creditors and stock
holders caused by the failure of w. E.
Schmertz, of Pittsburg, who was in
dOrsed for $780, 600 as well as a stock
holder for large amount of stock. The
business of the company is in pros
porous condition, and the failure of
Mr.. Schmertz will not affect the run
ming of the works.
