THE Chronicle Telegraph is authori-
ty for the statement that move is on
foot among riyermen to have the
bridges across the river at Mononga-
hela City and Brownsville elevated.
1t is impossible for medium sized
boat to pass under these bridges when
the water is at more than ten-foot
stage.
REV. p. c. WHITE, OF Weston, will
fill the appointment Of Rev. Bucha-
nan at Sugar Grove Sunday, August
18th at p. NJ. Rev. Buchanans alb
sence IN Pennsylvania has prevented
his being at Sugar Grove and Rev.
White will take his place next Sum-
day. A large congregation should
turn out as Rev. White is very able
divine.
A NUMBER of the openings leading
into the sewers have been stopped by
dirt washed in by the recent rains.
Several of them have had to be taken
up in order to remove the obstruction.
This stoppage has generally occurred
on the streets and not where many
people would suppose on the level
places. In some cases the mud had
packed in solidly for ten or twelve
feet.
A CROWD of Uniontown boys are on
Cheat near Mont Chateau for two
weeks outing. They have selected a
good location close to the river where
all the conveniences of camp life are
readily obtainable. The boys take
their meals at Mont Chateau hotel.
Among those who are in the party are
Albert and Edgar Hustead, Ed Nc
Cullough, Sam, Wallace and A. d..
Boyd, jr., Phil Ewing, James Graham,
Alex Meade, George Marshall, Albert
McMullen and Arthur Springer. They
have named their temporary home
Camp Wonktnodi.
The festival given on Beechurst
last week for the benefit of the
Catholic church was the best attend
ed affair of the kind which has ever
happened around here. Nearly a
thousand persons were in attendance
and the occasion was enjoyed to the
full by all. Nothing like the rush
was expected and the refreshments
provided proved inadequate to sup
ply the wants of the crowd. In the
neighborhood of $3.50 was cleared
from the festival. We are certainly
glad that the persons in charge sue
ceeded so admirably.
WILLIAM DAVIS is in Jail charged
with carrying concealed weapons. Da-
Wis is a colored man and he caused a
pretty lively scene on the B. & o. Sat
urday. He got on at Connellsville
and paid to Dunbar. When he arriv-
ed at the latter place he concluded to
go on to Mt. Braddock, but when
Conductor Tucker Hunt asked for adj
dltional fare Davis became abusive
and threatened TO do the conductor
great injury against the peace and dig
nifty of the commonwealth. Officer
Fee placed him under arrest. Davis,
it seems, had a razor In his pocket and
when the officer reached in after it he
got cut on the hand. -Uniontown

If the wrists become tired while one
is riding the bicycle, an authority sug-
gests resting them by holding the
palms up. If the elbow joints grow
weary and begin to ache, sit up
straight and thus change the angle of
the arm. Leaning over causes back
ache and contraction Of the muscles
of the chest. Do not let the body
stiffen when one is on the wheel. 1t
prevents graceful riding and will cause
uncomfortable straining. An expert
enced bicycle rider says that one
should take a long breath into the
lungs before attempting to ride up
hill, and that only slow, steady gait
should be walked mp as that rests the
whole body after steady spin.
The force at the B. Il o. station
here consisting of three men is sadly
overworked. Morgantown's impor-
lance as ashipping point has wonder
fully increased but there has been
no increase in the number of employ
es at the station. A Uniontown of
fetal was here recently and he is
authority for the statement that we
did more business than they do at
that point. There they have seven
men to perform the work. 1t would
certainly seem that an evening up
of the forces between the two places
would be an act of justice. Morgan
town is rapidly growing and this ne
cessitates progress in every direc-
tion
GEN. J. W. ST. CLAIR, who has been
reported frequently of late as about
to lose his eyesight, and become per-
manently blind, will, as his host of
friends will be pleased to learn, be
able to leave Washington for his
home before many days. He has been
staying at the National Hotel, and
had his eyes under treatment by an
eminent Washington optician. His
ailment has been very annoying, as he
was not allowed to read or write, and
to depend upon his friends for infor-
nation and all intellectual recreation.
His physician has been so successful,
however, that General st. Clair is now
able to read, and the paralyzed mus
Gle of the eye, which caused the troub-
lie, has almost regained its normal
strength, and promises to give him
little further trouble.
MAJOR MCGREw, the local B. & o.
ticket agent has not yet heard any
thing official concerning the new 1000
mile tickets. He has lot of the $40
kind and will not order any of the
new books until these are all disposed
of. Not until the new ones are re-
ceived are any instructions expected.
