A STRANGE SUICIDE.

In May, 1896, man, supposed
to be tramp, was killed at the
Snowy Greek Curve, on the b. Il
0. east of Terra Alta. The eugi-
neer OF the train saw the man cross
over from the opposite bank and
deliberately lay down in front of
the on rsshing wheels. The cngi-
neer sounded the whistle and re-
versed his engine, but was too close
to stop In time. The man lay still
till the train was nearly on him,
and then seemed to tremble yio-
lently and make an effort to escape,
but too late, the cruel wheels were
upon him and cut him to pieces.
lie was buried at Terra Alta Gun
known, nnhonored and unwept."
Some time since travelling man
from Washington, Pa, came to
Terra Alta on the track of the man,
and from the description decided
that it Was his brother in-law, and
this week had him taken up and
removed TO his home in Cuyago
county, New York. for reinterment.
His name WAS Mike Steliffl,, and
he had family in New York
State, and never had any trouble
that would cause him to commit
snicide that they knew of. lie was
working for the Standard Oil Com
pany at Washington, Pa, and get.
ting good wages. when he suddenly
disappeared from there. The man
who came to Terra Alta after the
remains and claimed to be
brother-in law to the suicide, gave
his name as L. E. Fall. SO ends
the last chapter in the story of one
more poor unfortunate.

GoLDENwEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Celebrated Last Night by MT. and Mrs Janes C T,rnar

Celebrated Last Night by MT. and
 Mrs. James C. Turner
 Among the comparatively few mar ried couples who for fifty years have shared each others sorrows and joys are MT. and Mrs. James c. Turner, who reside with their son n-in-1aw and daughter, MT. and Mrs. Frank E. Bun nell at 115 Greene street. Last even- fig the aged couple celebrated their golden wedding, the completion of fifty years of welded life together, at Mir. BunnelFs residence. Although both have reached the allotted three score years and ten and more each looks hale and hearty and last night received their many friends will with all evil dences of pleasure unimpaired by the feebleness of age. The aged couple, the bride and groom, as their friends call them, received the congratulations of their friends in the front parlor Both were continually surrounded by a group of their young friends whom they entertained in most interesting conversation.
 About 100 guests were present dur ing the evening and the occasion was in every respect a most enjoyable one. The parlors were handsomely decorat- ed with smilax and golden rod During the evening several piano selections and vocal selections were rendered, a feature of the latter being solos by Frank S. Hamilton, jr. Refreshments were served during the evening.
 Among those present were: State In- suranoe Commissioner and Mrs. F. A. Betts D. s. Cooper, Miss Kate Cooper, MT. and Mrs. Lewis Stetson, MT. and Mrs. Myron Dippold, Mrs. Vail Mrs. c. M. Snow, Miss Laura Terrace, Ralph Smith, Miss Spiess, Mrs. Hine, Miss Hattie Hine, Miss Smith, Mir. and Mrs. Frank E.

that their peoples sympathy and help fulness are drained dry before our own work has received it's due. We may sometime need more denominational concentration in our church contribu-
 tions. Divide all the churches In each | district into convenient groups, assign ing each group to a b-committee of corporate members, with assistance from others who are interested. These Will make it their duty to see that eve
 " church is thoroughly informed and canvassed.
 Local missionary associations, auXili- ary to the American board, have been
 useful in the past, and may be worthy of trial again. There were about nine
 hundred such societies, consisting of l men only with about six thousand in l dividual solicitors, who made it their
 business to canvass every member of
 the church and congregation. Is there not room for such a societynow in eve- | fy parish? The woman's board does not reach the mass of men who are able | to give and should give much. It is l highly to be desired that leading men | or light and learning from our churches
 and educational institutions should be encouraged to take in some missionary
 fields in their travels. It has been sug- ! gested as an experiment worth trying
 whether limited home field might be assigned for limited period of time to 1 returned missionary, with the ex-
 pectation that in consultation with the
 pastors of the churches in a given To-
 cality he might cultivate that field for
 missionary purposes, not only by mak- ] ing public addresses, but bp personal
 effort and acquaintance in pastoral
 way. Your committee would suggest it
 to the prudential committee as possi-
 ble method which might be tried as an
 experiment in some locality.
