GARLAND-PECK.

AT high noon on Wednesday,
June 13, 1900, at the parsonage
of the officiating minister, Rev.
S. l.. Hoffman of the NJ. e church
at Republic, Ohio, Mr.. D. o. Gar
land and Miss Ella Peck, both of
Sciplo township, Seneca county,
Ohio, were united in marriage.
The bride was attired in a
handsome gown of cream crepe,
with satin yoke covered with al
over lace net, trimmed with silk
fringe.
The groom, Mr.. Garland, is a
former Fulton county teacher,
who after spending three years
teaching here, went to Ohio, and
liking the people and country, not
better, however, than Pennsylva-
MIA people, he abandoned teach
ing and gave his attention to 9th
er industrial pursuits. The bride
is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Denton Peck, of Thompson town.

SPEER -CUTCHALL.

One Of the leading social events
of the season occurred on Tues
day evening, June -, 1900, at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Cutchall in Taylor township. The
occasion was the marriage Of
their daughter, Miss Eta, to w.
IL. Speer, Saluvia's hustling mer-
chant.
At seven o'clock about twenty
five of the immediate friends of
the bridal couple were assembled
in the parlor, in that breathless
suspense that always precedes
that important ceremony. The
hush was broken by the soft,
sweet strains Of Lohengrin from
the organ at which Miss Mildred
Matthias of Hustontown was pre-
siding. A few moments more
and the marital group were in
place, presenting a beautiful tab
leau. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Frank of Huston
town who used the beautiful and
impressive service of the M. E.
church.
Miss Effie Cutchall, sister of
the bride, was bridesmaid, and
Mr.. b. G. Lamberson of Huston
town, groomsman.
The bride looked very pretty
in a beautiful white organdie,
trimmed with lace and ribbon.
After the customary congratu-
lations had been offered, the
guests were invited to the dining
room where u sumptuous repast
was served.
The happy couple will make
their home at Saluvia

ACCIDENT AT WOODVALE.

On Wednesday mornin e of last
week, an accident happened at
Woodvale to Peter, Newton and
Samuel Staines, which may cost
one of them, at least, his life,
Peter was engaged in opening a
can of powder with pick. In
some way spark was generated,
and violent explosion followed,
in which the entire body of the
unfortunate man was most shock
in ely burned. 1t was thought at
the time that his recovery was
beyond possibility;butDr. Camp
b ell, of New Grenada, was sum
moned at once by telephone, and,
at this writing, Peter, as well as
the other two, who were near, and
badly burned, are in "A fair way to
recover.
The building in which the ex
plosion occurred was literally
blown to pieces, portions of it be
ing thrown a great distance.

Has This Been Done?

An Act of the Legislature APP
proved May ,, 1899, provides that
"the township supervisors and
road commissioners Of the several
townships, shall annually, on the
first Monday of April, enter into
a contract with one or more tax
payers to remove and take away
the loose stones from the main
travelled highways in such town
ships at least once each month,
during the months of April, May,
June, July, August, September
and October of each year"
The compensation to the per
sons doing the work is to be
credited upon the road tax as
sessed against them.

A NICE VISIT.

Our good friend Samson j. Mel
lott, of Belfast township, who has
been spending the past month
with his daughter Sadie, Mrs. j.
w. Turner, returned TO this vi
cinity last week and will spend
some time with his son Andrew,
who lives just east of town.
Mr., and Mrs. Turner live on
Harrison's Island in the Potomac
river, a short distance from Lees
burg, Virginia. 1t was Mr.. Mel
LOFTS first visit to his daughter
since her residence there and he
is much pleased. The island, he
says, comprises five hundred
acres all in one farm, level as Il
floor and soil that is just delight
full to work and very productive.
Mr.. Turner has had charge of this
farm for several years. The corn
field is so large that it takes just
an hour to make one round with
the cultivator. Mr.. Mellott says
it means something when one
goes Il fishing down there. Mr.,
Turner set outlines, and had the
satisfaction of hauling in forty
eels and about fifty nice fish.
Sadie used to live in this place,
and she and Mr.. Turner were
married by Rev. Mr.. Grove.

BADLY HURT.

On Wednesday of last week
Mr. David Fraker, of Fort Little
ton met with an accident which
might have cost him his life. He
was going down the lane from the
Ridge above the Woollet farm
with II three-horse load Of bark.
When, at the top Of steep de
scent, he tied the hind wheels
and started down, but the chain
soon broke, the wagon pushed on
the horses which ran to keep out
of the way of the wagon, and Mr.,
Fraker ran to get control of the
team. AS he caught hold Of one
Of the horses it fell, throwing him
and both the front and hind
wheel of the wagon on the near
side, ran over one of hls legs.
The wonder is that he was not
crushed to death. Under skill
full surgical aid he is in fair way
to recover.

Apfn -, lJOU.
GAS it is nearly time for the
rainy season to set in, will write
again. From present indications,
we shall not move from here soon.
We have sent in estimates for
eight months supplies, and they
are now coming in fast. After
the rainy season starts we can {
get out of here ON account of the
water. The natives say the town
becomes partly inundated and re-
mains so for three or four months.
During this time they have to go
along the streets in boats. We
felt a slight earthquake here yes
terday, which lasted about three
or four minutes. The earth seem
ed to sway like the motion of a
vessel ON the ocean. Several of
the men We're quite dizzy and DR..
Enders, our surgeon, was sick
from it. We are not doing any
thing now except making prepa-
rations for the rainy season. A
small detail was out a few days
ago and burnt some Googoo bar
racks in the mountains. They,
too, are making preparations for
the rainy season. We burn all
buildings in the mountains where
ever we can find them so the ma
tives will have to come into the
towns as soon as the rain begins.
1t is very warm now; yet | do
not feel the heat as much as |
did in the States. When we suf-
fer most is just after a shower.
The sun then comes out so quick
ly and hot, that if we don't keep
our faces and hands dry the sun
will blister us where ever there is
q drop Of perspiration standing.
One of the men got letter from
his home asking if twas hothere.

questions. Regards to all" "

THAT LOCOMOBILE.

There was no little excitement
among the boys of our town last
Saturday evening, when two gen
tlemen came into town from the
east in a handsome carriage of
which it may be said there was
mo pullee, no pushee, but it went
ahead-iust samee." AT Funk's
Hotel the gentlemen alighted and
the strange looking vehicle was
safely housed for the night.
1t was the first appearance of
a horseless, muleless, or steer
less pleasure carriage in Fulton
county 1t was a genuine loco
mobile, and bears about the same
relation to a traction engine that
u finely finished surrey would
bear to six horse broadtread
road wagon.
This machine, had a finely fin
inished wood body with nicely
upholstered seat for two persons
to ride comfortably. This body
was mounted on four wheels
with rubber tire, about the size
of and looked like bicycle wheels.
Underneath the body was con-
cealed the machinery, which con-
sisted of a small four horse steam
engine, a small water tank, and
Il small tank for gasoline-the
gasoline being the fuel used to
generate steam. The machine
did not weigh over GOO or 700
pounds, and cost $4,000. For
an average run of ten miles, one
gallon of gasoline is used for
fuel and six or seven gallons of
water for steam.
The difference between an auto
mobile and a locomobile is, that
the power used to propel the
former is generated by electric
batteries while the latter is run
by a steam, OF gasoline, engine.
The tourists above mentioned
were t. II. Carlisle and Ed w.
Mealey Of the Crawford bicycle
works, Hagerstown. They start.
ed out Saturday for run of six
ty-tive miles over to Bedford, ex-
pecting to reach this place for
dinner, and Bedford for supper.
They made their first twenty
three miles in two hours, and
were getting along nicely when
they corelessly allowed the water
to get too low in the boiler, and
the pump refused to work; hence
they did not reach McConnells-
burg until about five O'Clock, p. m.
AS business required their pres
ence at Hagerstown Monday
morning, they staid here Satur
day night. went down the Cove to
the National pike Sunday morn
ing, and by that returned to
Hagerstown.
These gentlemen are not out
so much for their health as to
give the machine Il test ON our
roads with view to building IL
machine and placing it on the
market at a popular price,
