The Borough dads certainly ought TO
enact some Legislation preventing coast
ing on Walnut street hill, as quite
number of narrow escapes from serious
injury have occurred there of late, pedis-
TRANS are in constant danger There is
no lack of hills in this vicinity that are
Just as good for coasting as the one on
Walnut street, aud that are 1t located in
the heart of the business portion of The
town.
IF this morning is a sample of the six
weeks weather predicted by Mr..
Grounding some of our citizens will
wish to go TO a warmer climate and the
horrible pictures recently drawn of GER
tain warm climates, by Evangelist will
liams, will have lost all their terrors
when man gets up in the morning and
finds his waterpipes frozen up. The
mercury registered 90 below zero this
morning.
The tears trickle down the grand old
face of Solomon o. Bail, as he sits lonely
and thirsty in his dilapidaled shack, on
that twenty-one liquor licenses have Just
been granted to to the squatters on his
flats Mt the mouth of Oil Creek, Pa
Franklin NetcS. If the thirsty old relic
had any thrift about him he would come
down to the Flats, open a bank account
in the right place, procure a license, get
into the game and play ball with the rest
of the Indians, Blizzard.
What might have been a very serious
runaway occurred at Nebraska this
county Sunday. A team belonging to
Adam Ikenburg became frightened and
ran away and threw Mr.. Ikenburg out,
shaking him up quite severely, but not
seriously. The team ran down the street
and frightened horse which Geo. Kiln
silver was holding in front of his resi-
dence. The horse, which belonged to
VIM. Roberts of this place, threw Mr..
Klinestiver to the ground and followed
the other team, and succeeded in smash
ing both sleighs to pieces, but fortunately
doing no serious damage to anyone.

forty-seven wells completed and 12j
barrels in the new production. Decem
ber completed forty-seven fewer wells
than November and showed decline OF
l,54O in the production. In January 22O
productive wells and seventy-six dry
holes were completed in the eastern oil
fields, and 25S productive wells and
eighty-tive dry holes in December.
There were no extraordinary features
developed in any of the fields and no
territory has been discovered that prom
ises an immediate and sudden increase OF
the production. The number of wells
completed has hardly been sufficient to
maintain the present output. There is
still very wide gap between the runs
and the shipments.

Over 300 Lives Lost.

dispatch from London under date Of
Jan. 80 says; The North German Lloyd
steamer Elbe, Captain Won Gossel, from
Bremen yesterday for New York, via
Southampton, has been sunk in col
lision with the British steamer Crathie,
bound from Rotterdam for Aberdeen.
The first intimation of the disaster came
from Lowestoft, Suffolk, one of the chief
English fishig ports. When the Elbe lett
Bremen she had on board 324 persons, of
whom l49 were officers aud crew, so cabin
passengers and 125 steerage passengers.
AS only the 2l rescued by the Wildflower
and carried into Lowestoft are known to
have been saved, the loss of life is placed
at S03. A great deal of adverse comment
is caused by the fat that of the 2t per-
sons saved from the Elbe, Is Of them be-
long to the ships crew, and that the boat
in which they saved themselves con-
tanned only one woman and no children.
Even the solitary woman who was saved
was not originally taken into the boat,
but was picked up in the water after the
boat had pushed away from the sinking
occupants of the boat. The owner, at
Aberdeen, of the steamship Crathie,
which ran into and sank the Elbie, has
received a brief telegram from the ca y
tain, at Maasluis, stating that the Cra-
thie's bow was terribly crushed by the
impact of the vessel with the Elbie, and
that the Crathie was in sinking condi-
ton when she reached Maasluis. The
captain was below at the time of the coll
lision, the mate being in charge of the
vessel. His own vessel was so terribly
damaged that its condition called for the
undivided attention of the officers and
the entire crew, all of whom had TO bend
their energies to saving their ship and
their own lives. The list of passengers
was made up of people from all over the
world quite large number being from
the United States.

Child and House Burned.

Monday afternoon, about three o'clock
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
Boyd, of the Watson Farm, was burned
and with it their nineteen-m -month-old baby
and all their household goods and cloth
ing. Mrs. Boyd had gone to the house
of a neighbor few yards away, leaving
the baby in the crib and a four-year. old
boy with it. She had only been gone a
few minutes when the house was diseov-
cred on fire and burning so rapidly that
no one could enter. The little boy was
found on the outside of the building and
explained that he had been smoking
broom splints and dropping them on the
carpet had started the fire. 1t was a sad
accident and the grief-stricken parents
have the sympathy of everybody. The
remains of the little child were taken to
Greenwood and buried Wednesday,

Large Quantity of Coal Suddenly
Burst Prom New Chute and
Partly Buried Him

William the sixteen-year-old son of Fred
ericS Carl, inside foreman at the Shenandoah
City colliery, had remarkably narrow es-
cape from death in gangway of that mine
yesterday afternoon.
In walking along the gangway he passed a
place where a new chute had been started
and without warning large quantity of
coal burst from the side and top. Carl in
stinctively jumped forward and to the op-
posite side of the gangway and escaped the
bulk Of the debris but some of it struck him
on the head and shoulder knocking him
down face forward and quantity of coal
covered his legs.
Several miners who were near the place
hurried to the young mans rescue. They
hurredly removed the debris from his body
and carried him to more safe place. An
examination showed that the boy was not
dangerously injured.
Carl was removed to the home of his
father, on South Jardn street. where he is
confined to bed and win probably remain
there for few days as he is considerably
cut and bruised about the head, face shoul-

THE MILL CREEK MURDER.
No Clue to the Fiends who Killed the
Aged Widow.

]
The assassins of Mrs. Catharine German
the aged widow who was found murdered at
her home in Mill Creek at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning, are still at large and there is
nothing upon which to base a belief that
their early capture will be effected. The
murderers made good their escape and care
fully covered their tracks. If the authorities
have any clue they are keeping it to them
selves, but it is thought they ale as much in
the dark as the general public
Mrs. German was "a years old, but a
hearty. robust woman and from the appear
ances Of the room in which her body was
found, she must have given the assassins
desperate struggle. Her face was black from
stiangulation and her protruding tongue was
thick and swollen. Her nose was broken a
tooth knocked out and large bruises appeared
on the left cheek bone, jaws and neck. The
wrists were also badly bruised and swollen.
Thus far no witness to the struggle, or any
one who heard the noise, has been found
Mrs. Edward Row, who lives about rs yards
from the scene of the murder, is the only one
who makes statement, and she simply tells
of a call at the house yesterday morning and
finding a window open and other circum-
stances that led to an inspection of the
house and discovery of the body Some
coffee and partly consumed roasted chicken
were found near the house 1t is said two
tramps were seen travelling from Mill Creek
towards st. Clair at o'clock yesterday
morning. Everything points to robbery as
the motive for the crime. Mrs. German kept
considerable money in the house and none of
it can be found. Relatives of the victim
have taken charge of the house District
Attorney Ryan has detailed men to work up
the case
Mrs. German was the widow of John Cor
man, who died about seven years ago She
settled at Mill Creek with her husband so
years ago. The couple had no children. The
nearest kin are Mrs. Kennedy, of West
Cherry street, this town, and Peter Mona
CHAN, of Mill Creek. Mrs. John c. McGin-
ness of Frackville, was niece Peter Mona
CHAN, nephew says he last saw the victim
alive at her home at o'clock Thursday
