reached the spot. They came on
horseback, in buggies aud wagons,on

good things of the season and all
bent on tho samo oblect-taat Of
having good time. An elegant
platform had been erected aud with
good music Mt hand, dancing was i'm.
mediately commenced by the lovers
Of that pastime. Those who did not
care to thus indulge wendell their
way TO the evergreen shrubbery
where, seated on moss covered rocks
listening TO the ripping OF old Hol
ston's sparkling waters, the ardent
youth proceeded to pour forth the
time honored story which never
grows old, aud drinking inspiration
from the surroundings his pleading
grew eloquent. Then again there
was the mother who, not caring TO
leave the precious little one at home,
brought it along TO offset The harmo
ny of the occasion with few dis
cordant bowls. limo rolled by rap
lilly and the hour for dinner being at
hand the baskets, which seemed
ready TO burst with their treasures,
were overhauled and spread on the
ground near a spring of cool, spark
ling water. 1t is needless to Say that
Justice was done the choice viands
for which Rich Valley is celebrated,
Next, the rattling of horses hoofs
attracted the crowds attention, aud
all realized that the important event
for which they had assembled was
about to commence. The gallant
knights ON their equally enthusiastic
horses led tire way, and everybody
proceeded TO tue tournament track
The contest was warm aud spirited
and for while ii looked as if the
knights would not be able to decide
which would be victorious, but al
last it closed with tie between Ro
land Crockett, of Buike's Garden
and VIM. Hays. of Rich Valley. IN
the second contest Knight Crockett
carried off the honors amid the ap
plause of the large crowd. Mr.
Crockett, being from another county
generously permitted Knight Gwyr
to crown the one he considered the
fairest. Miss Ida Walton. of Rural
Retreat, received the honor very
gracefully.
Hon. Fulton Kegley, of Bland Co
made the coronation address. We
would fain pass here without allud

Kegley.
Thus closed day which will ever
be remembered by the people OF
Chatham Hill and surrounding coun
try Nothing has ever happened
within the limits of this quiet little
village that left brighter pagein its

Young To be A Thief

pittsburgh Dispatch of 10th, instj
Theodore Hepler, 10-year- old boy, had
hearing before United States Commits
sioner Chadwick at Franklin, on a charge
of burglary He and another boy of his
age robbed the Postoftice at Blair's Corners.
ST. Griffith, the Assistant District Attor-
ney, refused to prosecute the boy on
account Of his youth.
The robbery was reported to PostOffice
Inspector d. 9. Owiugs by Mrs Ia. Fred :
orick, the Postmaster. She said the bur
glary was committed at IL p. III. A
window was broken and the money drawer
pried open with a poker. The burglars
got $3.50.
Young Hepler was suspected on account
OF his previous bad character. His father
was bitten by a dog year or so ago and
has been a charge on the township ever
since, az the wound made by the dog 3
teeth never healed. His mother IL living
in Butler. and little is known of her by
the father and son. The boy was caught in
innumerable thetts,
Mr. Griffith says he seems TO be a thief
by inheritance. He has the head and
restless eyes Of criminal, and Is stupid in
everything except in crime. In thai he
shows some car mark of genius.
When he was accused of the robbery by
Mrs Frederick he denied it, and then he
was searched. Forty pennies were foRnd
in his pocket aud he confessed. The rest
of the money he had hidden in hollow
log. He implicated another boy.
Inspector Owings ordered his arrest, be-
lieYing him to be an older boy. Wien his
age was earned The Government dropped
the case

Accidents.

A young lady named King fell upon the
ice of Reiber's dam, last Friday night, vas
seriously injured. and John staff, heavy
weight glass blower fell the same avening
and broke an ankle bone.
wayfairer named Schlieter, who
stopped at the house of Casper Boehm
near Evans City few nights ago, was
sent to a Pittsburg hospital for treatment.
The accident to John D. Martin near
Mars on Wednesday of last week was a
remarkable one. He was walking on the
tracks Of the P j. W. az the time, heard
the freight train coming behind him AID
stepped of the track, bat he did not see
or hear the passenger train, approaching
at full speed II. front Of him, and he was
strnck by the locomotive OF tho passenger
and thrown upward, and against the
freight train. The conductor o! tie freight
saws he was thrown against his caboose
with terrific force. There is d curve at
the road where the accident happened,
and the engineer of the passenger did not
see Mr. Martin until close upon him.
Both trains were stopped aud the body
was taken % Msrs whore an i-quest vas
held. ana then it was taken to the house
of his brother-in-law, Thomas 4. Hay in
Clinton twp. and buried Saturday. Mr..
Martin was about p years Of age; he has
made lis home with Mr. Hay for quite a
number Of years, and lie was a quiet
Christisn man, who had the good Will and
sJect Of oil his neighbors.
A peculiar accident occurred at New
Castle, Monday evening, which will more
tran likely cause the death Of at least two
persons. Ben Blair, railroader. wss tax
ing il sleep N a sianty near the Atlantic
mill. when four boys, James AcGlynn,
Charles Henlein, Walter McGreggor and
Bob Varlev, all aged about Is years, ell
tered the place. The four had IN their hip
pochets about half-pound o. powder each,
and they began throwing pinches of the
explosive into the small stove. Suddenly
there was an explosion. The powder il
McGreggor's pocket had ignited and il an
instant the powder in the pockets of the
other boys did the same. The clothing of
the boy "a took fire and they ran for the
creek, and after time succeeded in break
ing the icr and jumping in and the flames
were quenched. After this tive Of the boys
tainted from pain, and the patrol wagon
was sent for and four of the party were
TAX Ell to the city hospital. Bob Yarley
was badly burned abOut the face and hands
and he wse able to reach home. McGreg-
gor's hips, back, hands and fece, and al
most his whole body, with the exception Of
his feet were terribly burned, and the
flesh and skin came off in great fakes. He
cannot live. McGlypn was burned in a
similar manner and there is but little hope
that he will recover. Henlein's face,
hands and back arc horribly burned and he
will likely lose sight of one eye. Mr.. Blair
was bu:ned all over the body, but not so
badly as the boys. The physicians in
dressing tic wounds removed several pints
of skin from the bodies of the victims.

Florida

1t would be hard to find any condition
OF human ailment that a winter visit to
Florida would fail to improve, while those
who enjoy good health cannot realize,
without experience, what true enjoyment
there is in life passed under tho golden
skies of the Gland of Flowers"
In order to give the public an opportu-
nifty to vieit Florida at very reasonable
cost, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has arranged for a series of tours to Jack
sonville. Since the system of personally
conducted tours inaugurated by that
company has been in effect, more but
words Of commendation have been receiv-
ed. Its unexcelled train service, expe-
Tienced Tourist Agents and Chaperons,
and above all, its moderate charges, leave
nothing to be desired.
The tours to Jacksonville, allowing two
weeks stay in Florida, will leave New
York and Philadelphia on January %,
February 4, IL, Is. and %, and March 3,
