A Durable Watch.

After hanging on the limb of tree
all winter, exposed to the rain and
snow, valuable gold watch and chain
belonging to O'Hars Darlington, who
lives a short distance above Sharps-
burg, Penn, has been discovered, and
to-day is keeping time just as it did
before it was lost early in last Novem-
Der. Mr.. Darlington owns the old
Darlington mansion with its broad
acres Mt Guyasuta, where the noted In
dian chieftain bearing the same name
is supposed TO be buried. Last fall he
was in the woods experimenting the
burning of some brush.
The day was warm and sultry, and
on his way home lie carried his coat
and vest over his arm. At the supper
table he had occasion TO look at his
watch, but it was not in the accus-
toned pocket, neither was there any
trace of the heavy gold chain with
which the watch had been attached to
the vest. A careful search failed to
reveal the missing valuables. Hastily
leaving the supper room, Darlington
called his hired men, six in
lumber, who in turn gathered together
a large number of neighbors.
Procuring lanterns and rakes, the
party went TO the woods and spent the
entire night in searching for the miss
ing watch and chain. Early the next
morning Mr.. Darlington were back in
the woods again, and the search was
kept up for two weeks. The entire
woodland was raked from one end TO
the other, but no trace of the watch
and chain was found. The search was
finally abandoned and Mr.. Darlington
gave mp his watch for lost.
Ore afternoon recently Fred and
Frank Stout, sons of Harry A. Stont,
manager of Tibb's glass house, Sharps-
burg, went to the wood for a stroll.
The two boys had not gone far till
one of them had his hat knocked from
his head by the overhGnging branch of
tree. Glnncing up to see what he
had run against, he was astonished to
see right before his eyes and within
easy reach gold watch and chain.
The boys approached the limb to
which the watch was hanging, eau
tiously, lest by some awkward move
ment pretty optical illusion should
be dispelled. However, they soon be-
came convinced that they had not been
made the victims Of trick, and q
few moments later they were flying
homeward, with tho watch and chain
safely slowed away in one of their
pockets. When Mr.. Stout came homo
in the evening and was shown the
watch he, too, was greatly surprised,
for along with party of other neigh
bors he had gone on an all-night
search for that watch five months be-
fore. How the watch came to be in
the position in which it was found is a
mystery. -Pittsburg Dispatch

is the head and centre of the children's

rendered Holden helpless by a

shoulder. Officers King and Reel were
notified and arrested the would-be

ment-strike Notes.

A mass meeting of the striking opera
tives was held on Merino fats this morn
ing. The day being fine there was very
large number present. Mr.. McGuy
called the meeting to order at ll:30
O'Clock and said all were aware
that last Wednesday Senator Howard
from Fall River had been present and
at that meeting Senator Howard and
himself were appointed to try aud bring
about conference between the manufac-
turers and the executive COMMITTEES
In accordance with that resolution they
went to Valley street mill and saw
Mr.. Farwell, who received them very cor
dially, aud listenei to what they
had to say. AS Mr.. Fletcher
was then out Of the city he coold not pro-
mis-, definateIy, but he hell out hope. In .
deed the committee inferred from what
he did say that conference would surely
take place.
Mr.. McGuy said he was surprised when
he read in the Sunday papers that Mri
Fletcher would not meet Senator Howard
and himself, but was willing to meet u
deputation OF his own work people.
Mr.. Farwell told the committee that he
would write Senator Howard to meet
pEODdDly Ou ucsQaJ uJ VI tbC

Nov some people said it was our
duty" Mr.. McGuy continued, Ito ap-
proach the masters first. We could not
expect them To come to US. We
have done so. We broke the
ice, and / think it is now
their duty to say when they
will be ready to meet us In fair and
reasonable spirit. But l would advise
the operatives to let the matter be settled
by the executive committee. Let no
one take it upon themselves TO go TO
work without first consulting the execu-
tive Let us stand or fall together, il one
wins lets US ali win, aud IL we lose let us
