NEIGHBoRHooD NOTES.

At Beaver. last week, Geo. Ward wa
convicted of criminally libelling Trus te
| Duss.
A cloud burst over New Castle. last Fri
day evening, and undermined the side
walks.
John McMahan of the 18th ward. Pitts
burg had an attack of the grip in January
1892, and it was followed by paralysis, los
of sight. hearing and speech. and for NOR,
| than a wear the patient has had to be hand
led in every respect like an infant Dur
the IS months ofhis illness he has had, 81
far as known, but one return of conscious
ness during which he said the single word
"baby," referring to an infant born to hin
when he was first stricken down IAtshortin
tervals the sick man emits inarticulate cries
! like those of dumb animal in great pain
| When attacked he was large, robust man
! but nov Is greatly reduced ard covered
with suppurating ulcers, which must soon
bring an end to his snfferings Al
an exhibition of the frightful possibilities
of the grip and of the powers of human en-
durance, this case is said by physicians to
have had few, if any parallels.
Horse thieves seem to be having an easy
time of it out in the edge of Clarion, JEFF
1
cessful raid having been made there on
| Monday night of last week.
| A peculiar state of affairs exists gin the
| Jail at Beaver. A lot of men confined fol
| trivial oifenses, witnessed the murder OF
| Chas. kirkpatrick, fellow prisoner; by
Adam Lambright, and are now held indefi-
nitely as witnesses for the murder trial.
An extraordinary occurrence happened
at Cheswiek, Allegheny Co, on the West
Penn road. last Sunday night. ! crazy
man entered Christian Mardorf7s house,
baricaded himself in a room and fred al
the Constable who tried to enter. The
man was supposed to be a burglar, the
house was surrounded by armed men, a
running fire was kept up all night during
which the crazy man was hit twice; and the
door was burst open next morning and the
man was arrested; but be proves to b. a
railroad clerk on a spree, who can give no
account of himself from the time he left
Philadelphia.
The decision of Judge Mehard, of Mer-
Ger. in the Brady's Bend Iron Co. case
mortgage bondholders, aud he ordered
said property sold by the trustees, Lud-
wig Dreier and Walton Ferguson, the ad-
vertisement of which appears in this paper.
The entire property, SAYS the East Brady
RerieW. consisting OF G000 acres, will be
sold, save 400 acres belonging to Hunter
d Cummins and Galusha A. Grow, and
also lots No. ZIG, 217, 21S, Al, AZ, 43, $50,
! Isl and lS2 as shown on the plan OF lots in
East Brady. Thus it will be seen that the
first mortgage bondholderS still claim all
this place only exempting above lots from
said sale. This is a surprise to many OF
our citizens who own property purchased
of the Bradys Bend Iron Co., score OF
years ago at this place, and until within O
year or so believed their titles to same
were good. We reiterate our statement
on previous occasion that We firmly be-
lieve that the titles are good, and upon
questioning Orr Burlington, Esq, of Kit
| tanning, one of the attorneys for the Com
pany, in regard to property titles here, be
said it is folly to think the titles are valid,
| and remarked that the Brady's Bend Iron
Co. had no intention Of claiming said prop
erty. The agent of the B. B. /. G. at this
place, Mr.. Edgar Pool, says however, that
the property will be contested by the cor
poration he represents, and says that our
titles will be Knocked into cooked hat.
Not very comforting assurance certainly
Although those who own property on
peaeeable possession of the same since
1868 do not believe their titles are void
and are not alarmed over the prospects
yet the fact is very plain to all that if il
be allowed to 20 to a sale in the manner
it appears in the advertisement great harm
may result.
