Edward Mill and two companions
got into a row at A%lneyyille, Pa, last
Thursday and Mill, who was being
badly beaten, plunged a knife into
several asailants. The crowd armed
themselves with guns and got a rope,
which frightened Mill and he ran.
Seeing that he was about to be over
taken he jumped into the Lehigh river
and started to wade ashore, but the
mob stood on the banks and kept him
in deep water until he was drowned.
Jan Holodnock, a miner living at
Cranberry, Pa, has constructed a
flying machine, and took it out for a
trial last Saturday week. Some of
the ignorant miners saw him with the
gigantic wings in position and spread
the report that the devil or some teri
bic monster was threatening the VII
lagc. An excited mob quickly gath
cred and after they had fired several
shots in his direction the inventor re-
allied that it would be safer to go
away. He leaped from his position,
tapped his wings and scared over tho
heads of the crowd. But a rife bullet
injured the machinery and he fell
among the frightened villagers, who
fed in terror. Holodnock was not
badly hurt, and will make another
trial after repairing his machine. but
he has explained it TO his neighbors
as q matter OF safety.
jacques Ochs was arrested in Chica-
go last Saturday on a charge of grand

The immense Stratton wilderness, up
on the west side Of the mountain, has
been invaded by a steam mill erected
by Dufresne 81 Hapgood, who own 25OO
acres of solid timber, mostly spruce,
around it. They run their mill the
whole year around, and have a million
feet of spruce on sticks awaiting ship
ment.
Probably nowhere else in the state
are such extensive numbering opera
