SILENT PILE DRIVER
Illinois Central Has a Noiseless Ma
chine to Hammer Piles.


Chicago, June 17.-Out of Difference to
the tympanuns- of the jewellers in arts
tocratic Prairie avenue, between Six
teenth and Eighteenth streets, the Him
ois Central Railroad company may use
a noiseless piedriver hereafter in the
work of acquiring new land by filling
up Weldon slip.
1t will take unceasing vigilance on the
part of the property owners TO stop the
pile driving, especially since the COM
pany has acquired a noiseless hammer
The property owners complained not
only of the filling of the slip, but of the
noises made by the locomotives and
other machinery of the company. It
may be that the hammer has been
padded in pursuance of an old promise
from the company that it would abate
all noises possible of abatement.
But the noiseless piledriver is a use
full article anyway. It can send pile
home to bedrock with so little racket
that the noise of the blows cannot be
heard twenty feet away. The piledri-
yer used last week was one of the noisy
kind mounted on red hatboat. The
one now in the basin is a new green
one, with a drop softer than a cats
football It was idle yesterday, and the
workmen were giving it new coat Of
paint.

A man who sells liquor can get authori-

that does aOt prevent his prosecution

nothing is done but if he does not he is

In trials No. 40, Mrs Rachael Horn
brook, who formerly lived in Wheel
ing, W. Va, owned considerable
property in that city, and also at
Mountain Lake Park. She had two
daughters, Mrs. Luke, of Wheeling,
and Mrs. Billiard, of Mountain Lake
Park. On the 25th of January last
Mrs. HOrnbrOok made will and died
about three hours after BY the will
she gave Mrs. Luke 500, and the res
idue of her property to Mrs Bullard
and her daughter. The will was filed
for probate iii the Orphans Court for
this county On the first day of Febru-
airy, and d cayeat filed by Mrs. Luke
on the 12th of April last Upon this
caveat issues were framed and sent 10
the county court for trial
1t is said Mrs. Hornbrook was dying
when the will was presented for her
signature.
The grounds upon which the viii
is attacked are that the testaTriE was
so feeble that she did not know the
contents of the paper; that she WAS
mentally unsOunG ana that the VIII
was procured by the undue influence
of Mrs. BulIard.

A Mountain Mystery.


What might have been, to say the
least, most distressing accidental
shooting affair was by the merest
chance averted at View Rock on Fri
day, the 24th inst. That some one
was grossly guilty of criminal careless
ness or wilfully intended to perpetrate
a foul crime is self evident from the
facts in the case.
Thomas and David Sisler, of Dis
trict No. s, were out hunting in the
afternoon in the woods at the far end
of the pike field which lays to the
left of the road passing View Rock.
While they were standing near to-
gether at a point about fifty yards
south of the field and looking toward
the field, a rife shot was fired at them
from a point in the woods about
seventy five yards east Of them, the
ball passing between the two men
diagonally and so close as to feel its
wind. In an instant almost another
shot was fired with better aim, the
ball passing the face Of Tom Sisler
and making a slight fest wound in
the point and rear of the right shout
der of Dave Sisler, passing through
his coat and maEinga cut in the flesh
about an inch and one-half long.
In the meantime J. NJ. COnneway,
Howard Riddcr and George Simmons
who were at the north end of the
"pike field, heard the shooting and
went around the field to see if they
could find what hunter was trespass-
ing on the land. They found the two
Sisler boys standing near the fence at
the south end of the field, and so
badly scared that they could hardly
give an intelligent account of What
had happened.
After ascertaininG from what direc-
ton the shots came, Nessrs. Come
way, Ridder and Simmons succeeded
in locating the place where the man
who fred the shots had stood, and
found his tracks where ne had hur-
riedly ran away.
At present the view or opinion
seems to be that whoever fired the
shots misrook the two boys 20 be q
wild turkey or turkeys, and cowardly
ran away when he heard the scream
of the boy that was wounded.
The matter is one that calls for
searching investigation, as even if the
shots were fired mistakenly the pub
lie should know the fact and be re
lieved from the terrible suspicion that
a crime was intended
One thing is certain, and that is
whoever did the shooting had mag
azine rifle. 1t is the writer's opinion
from what he knows of the case, that
the right man can be found with but
little trouble. 1T is to be hoped that
whoever did the shooting-if done
mistakenly that he will on second
thought manfully make the facts
known. THE TRAMP.
