In the anxiety to lay in a supply of coal

becoming too careless Of the safety of their
children. Every afternoon they can Be
seen going over the trestle at the Penpsvl-
vanis depot, some of them of very tender
age and scarcely able TO look after them
selves on the streets, much less make tho
perilous journey over the trestle CARVING
pail full Of coal. We fear that unlsss
parents exercise more prudence there will
be distressing accidents in that vicinity.
Yesterday about sixty children were
amblinR over the dirt bank on the other
eide OF the trestle in search of black dis.

IN the heart of this large coal field must

SEVERAL SHORT STORIES.
Money Secured Under a Threat of
Prosecution.
John Compiler of Flushing Township Pays
Over $500 Under the Above De-
mand-General News.

A case possessing interesting feat
ures comes from the northwestern por
ton of the county. John Compiler, a
farmer of Flushing township, brings
suit against Sheridan Young and n. b
Smith, two farmers living in Guernsey
county, near the Belmont county line
and alleges blackmail as the ground OF
his action. Compiler says that he is aged
73 years, and is infirm in body and weak
in mind That on February 18th the de-
PENDANTS named above accompanied by
Dolly Smith, daughter of n. b. Smith.
came to his house, and charged him with
having written libelous and scandalOus
letters against Sheridan Young and 9th
ers, and of having sent them through
the c. 5. Mails. Compiler says they de-
manded $500 under penalty of prosecut-
ing him under the U. s. postal laws
He allegeSghat he could not understand
their threats, and was so confused and
frightened that finally he gave them
notes and money amounting to $500.
He alleges that he is innocent of the
charges they made, and that owing to
his infirmities he was frightened and in
timidated into paying money and giving
the notes, and asks the court to issue an
injunction to restrain the defendants
from disposing of the notes so given, and
he asks also to recover $500 damages.
The other side of the story as nearly as
can be learned, is that some one wrote
libelous letters to Young concerning Miss
Dolly Smith, to whom Young was pay
ing his devetions, and as Compiler had
been endeavoring to secure the services
of Dolly Smith as housekeeper, the con-
clusion was hastily jumped at that Com
pher was the author of the letters, seek
ing thus to prevent her from getting
married. Accordingly the three persons
repaired to the house of Compiler and
accused him of writing the letters. He,
as they assert, neither affirmed or denied
the accusation, and this led them to be-
lieve him guilty. Then they offered to
abstain from prosecution if he would pay
them $500. The affair is the subject of
much talk in the communities where the
parties are known.

About noon Thursday, a clerk at Still

below he discovered that the flooring for
space of some twenty feet square was
burning furiously. The alarm was Civ

known had entered the cellar with a
light, and there was no fire or flue
near it.
