Narrow Escape.

The Morris X Roads correspon-
dent of the Uniontown Standard
SAYS:
On Wednesday evening last Grant
Costello met with an accident that
resulted in the loss of very fine
Hambletonian driving horse for
which he had but recently been of
fered $3.50. He was driving along
Cheat river between the Line ford
and the Line ferry accompanied by
Miss Stevenson, when his horse be-
came frightened at the tents of a
camping party located on the river
bank, and it plunged over the bank,
landing on raft of steamboat tim
Der anchored to the shore and from
this backed or into what is known
as Scissors hole. Grant being fine
swimmer soon rescued his lady com
panion from her perilous position,
after which his best efforts were put
forth to save his horse. This being
the deepest water known on Cheat it
required his diving to raise horse
and buggy to the surface of the wa
ter. With great effort he raised the
head of his noble steed, swimming
to the shore with it and the vehicle,
but his efforts to restore life to his
horse were in vain, as be soon died.
Thor are few persons perhaps who
pass on Cheat, but know this place
where man whose name (Selser) it
bears is known to have dived from a
huge rock expressing his determine
tion to find the bottom or HI. He
dived to find only a watery death.
Thus the legends of this historic
spot are told by old inhabitants OF
almost a century ago

"Wandered Back Again.

Frank Shay, aged IL years, who
left his home here last November in
side door sleeper bound for "alI
around" returned home last week
on a gondola ticket from nowhere in
particular Frank visited the wild
and woody west as he had for some
time desired to "sculp ipjuns," but
why he denied the government his
valuable services and took a skate
home just as the red man went on
the war path is not known. Frank
did" Texas and the intervening
states and the stories he relates to
his small companions causes their
young hair to assume an upright
position and every fence post passed
in the night becomes bold, bad
man from Texas. Frank will remain
until his own sweet will leads him
to again long for the excitement of
life on the boundless prairies. Frank
is an orphan and there seems to he
no welcome home for him. At Prun-
tytown he would have the care and
instruction he needs and two or
three years there would be beneficial
to him.

Back from Nebraska.

A few nights ago two men and the
wife and children of one of them
camped on the roadside near Simon
Garrison s residence, about mile from
the bridge who have had rather a
rough experience Both men were gen
tie manly, decent fellows and one of
them had a nice wife and two bright
children. His name was George S.
johnson and his wife's maiden name
was Lille II. Bowmer. They form
erly lived at Fellowsville, Preston
county, and went from that place
west few years ago. A succession
of crop failures impoverished and
discouraged them so badly that they
decided to return to their old home.
They started from western Nebraska
three months ago and had travelled
and lived in a two horse wagon all
the way. Their horses looked well
and evidently had Jared better than
their owner. The second man was
named George I. Kagle He had
gone to South Western Missouri
from Frederic, Maryland, some years
ago and finally found himself in the
same fix as the Johnsons except
little worse. On his way back he
fell in with Johnson and they decid-
ed to travel together. johnson hoped
to reach Fellowsville the day be left
here, but Kagle of course would be
on the road some days longer.

Died From Hydrophobia.

Perry Ammons died in horrible
agony from hydrophobia few days
ago at his home near Waynesburg,
Pa. He was a son-in-law of VIM.
Donley, a well known citizen of
Greene county. Last May he was
bitten by his dog, which showed
signs of rabies. He experienced no
inconvenience from the bite until the
day before his death, when he began
to show signs of hydrophobia. He
fell into one spasm after another, and
endured the most indescribable suf-
ferings until death relieved him.
The doctors pronounced it genuine
case of hydrophobia. Messrs. Denny
" Waddell, hardware merchants of
Waynesburg, are also very uneasy
as they were both bitten by a young
dog that was bitten by the older
Ammons dog. Both the animals
were killed.

A Nut for biologists.

Rev. G. L. Hall, pastor of the NJ.
Z. church on the Cassville circuit
left at this office yesterday geolo-
gical curiosity. 1t was a piece of
wood cut from log that a few DAYS
ago was found nearly 25 feet down
in the earth. Last week a well was
dug at the Buckeye church near Mt.
Morris. AT distance of near 25
feet from the surface the workmen
struck what seemed to have been at
one time log heap. There were
numerous logs, limbs and brush
which had evidently been buried
there for centuries and were in a
good state of preservation. Mr.. Hall
cut some pieces from several of the
logs and showed the New DOMINION
two of them. The wood Tesembled
oak as the growth marks could be
plainly seen. After being exposed
to the atmosphere for some time it
changed color turning black. How
it got there is a mystery as the
ground had evidently not been dis
turbed for hundreds of years. The
we'll was dug on high ground quite
distance from Dunkard creek. A
few feet below the logs a fine stream
of water was struck. Who can ac-
count for the presence of the logs
where they were found?

And the Band PLAYED.

The Mingo Brass Band went to

will furnish music for the Loeb Lynn
Hotel until Sept. |. The following
eight members compose the band.
Jesse Turner, Walter Mestrezat,
John Hoffman, Charles Turner,
Wait Hartman, Harry Fleming, Ray
BriclSer and Dave Turner, The Loeb
Lynn has become very popular with
Morgantown people and it is accord
ing to the eternal fitness of things
that our best musical organization
should furnish melody for the guests
of that popular hostelry. The boys
should not on their arrival play "the
girl | left behind me-" as it might
prejudice the mountain summer girl
rather they should play some airy
selection with fetching strain that
will let the girls know there is no
string to their hearts but that they
are right there for love, mirth and
music. They arrived safely last
night and this morning the band
played

grave was Immediately under th,
south end Of the vestibule to thu

Z for the foundation and lecture
room Of the present building the
bones of DR. Bond and the brass
hinges of the casket, the casket be

store box and moved from the Lower
end of the church and re inferred
and the stones set up. A great many
people in town remembered seeing
the grave before the church was re
built in 1867 but no one knew, il
seems, that the stone had been set
up again.
The other bodies that were buried
there were removed by their friends
While Judge J. NJ Hagans was
attending the meeting of the Sons Of
the Revolution held in Boston few
months ago he was talking TO Mr.
Leeeh, Of Philadelphia, who is a
noted tracer of genealogy and dur
ing the conversation mentioned the
fact that an old Philadelphia was
buried here On giving his name
MIR, Leech at once said that he knew
all about him and that he had been
engaged in tracing the genealogy OF
the Bond family which is one of the
most influential and prominent
in Philadelphia and that Dr. Thomas
Bond was the missing ink in the
pedigree of the family as no one
knew where he died Dr. Bond came
to Morgantown in about 1871 as the
agent of Land Company composed
of Philadelphians, which owned
vast tracts of land 10 this section,
while here he fell and injured him
self and soon alterward died Com.
munication with has friends in the
East was a difficult matter and he
was buried here by friends whom he
had made during his residence in
this section. As late as 1888 Dr..
Bond was Puryeyor in the Reyolu-
tionary army for the State of Penn
sylvania and during the war of the
Revolution was distinguished
army surgeon.
Dr. VIM. Dancer was engaged to
remove the bodies when the present
church was built and supposed that
he had moved all OF them, but the
workmen who were excavating for
the foundation ran across another
grave and the Doctor exclaimed
"here's another bic jacket" While
the Doctor was janitor Of the w Va
University the first subject for the
dissecting room of the medical de
partment was received and on OPEN
ing the barrel in which it was pack
ed the Doctor, not having been in
formed of the nature Of the contents,
knocked in the head and seeing q
corpse exclaimed, "My Lord BOYS,
here's a HE facet" and from that
time to this "stiffs" in the medical
department are referred to as bic
jaeete.
