a PEsssyLvANIA GrYsrR. West :
moreland county, this state there is
a burning geyser. Some years AGO
the citizens of Wcltvtown bored a
we'll for gas, but after going down
900 feet they were compelled to
abandon it owing to rush of water.
Ever since that time the we'll has
been filed with very peculiar wa.
ter. 1t is cold in warm weather. and
in mid winter warm. 1t has never
been known to freeze. Once u year
1t overtlows and sends forth gas and
cold water. Recently the people
awoke to find the magical fountain
throwing water high into the air.
A fire was kindled and thrown into
the foam. 4 blaze shot far above
the tree tops, and it cannot DO
quenched-
Some one recently informed the
public through the press that BIZ
cycles would be reduced in price
over one-half next season, claiming
that one firm would put four or five
thousand on the market at $50 each.
The best information we have on
this subject comes to us through
the papers published in the interests
OF bicycle dealers, and they all de-
ny the report of wheels being cheap.
or. 1t is quite well known that the
material that goes into the makeup
OF wheel is practically controlled
by a few firms, and they are not en-
dangering their business by redue-
ing the price when the wheels are
in such great demand. Wheels in
'96, therefore, arc not likely to be
much cheaper than at present.
The Richfeld correspondent to
the Thompsontown Globe says
''This community was terribly shock
ed last Saturday when it was stated
that Miss Henrietta Pease, daughter
of Mrs. Benz. Kaufman, died very
suddenly at the home of Enoch
Swartz where she had been employ
cd for sometime. Mr.. Swartz lad
been away from home and upon re-
turning found the house locked,
when he entered through window
only to find the nude body of Miss
Pease, which had already turned
black. Upon investigation it was
discovered that she had made an at
tempt to commit an abortion, which
was plainly proven by the medicine
and instruments found by her side.
The funeral was to have been held
on Monday, but later reports say
that it took place on Sunday owing
to the bad condition of the corpse.
Although we have not heard her age
we would Judge that it was near %
years. Let this be a warning TO
