Dunmorc, Oct. 10, 1895. -
Again the people of this town are
startled, this time by the woman in
black, who inhabits the dark streets
and other lonely spots where people
have to travel after dark. 1t is not
women and girls alone who are the
subjects of this persons assaults, but
men are put to flight Immediately at
the sudden appearance of this ghostly
object, dressed in black and with snow
white face. which seems to come from
nowhere, and as soon as the deed is
committe, returns to it's abode while
the victim stands, terror stricken, un-
able to cry, or otherwise help himself.
1t does not contine itself to any partic-
ular spot. The early part of last week
the vicinity of Apple street was the
spot selected for carrying on this game
of scare, and many were the subjects.
This street, from Drinker, going north,
is without light, making it an ideal
spot for this person to carry on his
pranks. The neighbors are afraid to
leave their houses after dark for fear
of being assaulted. If the person is
wise he will stop his actions before it
is to late, for sooner or later he is
bound to come to grief.
A horse belonging to Mine Foreman
James Wilson ran away Saturday af-
tcrnoon and caused considerable ex-
citement for a time. His son Joseph
had gone to the No. l mine of the
Pennsylvania coal company to bring
his father home. Just after starting
an axle broke, this frightened the
horse, which is a frisky animal, and
giving leap he threw the occupants
upon the ground and damaged the
buggy. The horse, without slackening
it's speed, kept on until it reached the
barn. The only damage done was to
the carriage, which will need a gen.
| eral overhauling.
The funeral of Miss Jennie NJ. Kel-
| ley, of Grove street, took place from
the home of her parents Saturday af-
| ternoon and was largely attended The
Rev. 4. ]. Van Cleft, of the Metho-

| funeral sermon, which paid a great
| tribute to the deceased. The remains

| les Correll and d. BidweH.
