TEARING DOWN FURNACE.
Historic ola Buildings at Mont Alto
Being Removed,

The furnace and adjacent buildings
at Mont Alto are being leveled with
the ground under the direction of the
Pennsylvania state forestry commits
sion.
The State has no use for the bulld-
ings and as they are no ornament TO
the landscape they are to be removed.
The visitors to the park will miss the
furnace and the pile of dwellings
there. They have been on the ground
ever since the place was used As park.
About seven or eight years ago Col.
Geo. b. Wrestling had the furnace re-
built and fitted with modern equip
ment. 1T was i'll excellent shape for
good work, it was said, but with Col.
Weistling's death Mont Alto lost the
man who made it what it was, whose
energy and enthusiasm kept the fur
pace in operation and who was the
whole life of the place. None took up
the work which he laid down and
gradually the place was allowed to be-
come dilapidated and tumble-down.

FELL Off c. Y. BRIDGE.
Ed Lee Tabb, of Inwood, Has a
Narrow Escape.
A FALL OF OVER THIRTY FEET
Picked Up Unconscious by His Friends With
His Arm Broken, Two Teeth loosened
and His Face and Body Bruised.

To the strange workings of fate Mr..
Ed Lee Tabb, the proprietor OF the
large stave mill at Inwood, owes his
existence today. After falling off the
Cumberland Valley railroad bridge sat
one of its highest points onto the Bal
timore and Ohio tracks below, he is,
strange to relate, % live man today.
He is badly crippled, however, and
will for weeks have many pains and
aches to remind him of his narrow es-
cape from death.
Mr.. Tabb went to the north end of
town Monday with some friends and
Tuesday morning about one O'Clock he
started out to return by way OF the
long stretch of Cumberland Vale
trestle work which spans he Balti-
more and Ohio railroad and Tusoaro-
ia Creek at the northern edge OF town.
Mr.. Tabb says as he was walking
across the trestle work one of his
friends called TO him and he turned to
hear what he was saying, as he did SO
one of his feet went over the edge of
the bridge and down he went. In his
downward flight he experienced that
peculiar sensation which makes sec
onds seem like minutes and minutes
like hours. The few seconds which
elapsed from the time he left the
bridge until the time he again came
in contact with terra tirma seemed
like minutes and many long ones, too.
Finally with dull thud he struck the
hard ground along the railroad tracks
right beside of a large rock, which,
had he struck would doubtless have
ended his life.
After the dull sounds of Mr.. Tabb
striking the ground came to the ears OF
his friends on the bridge they called
to him, but no sound came and they
went to him, expecting to find HIM
dead. He was still living but uncon-
scious. They picked him up and as
sisted him to one of the buildings OF
the Hannis Distillery Company,
where DR.. Mccormack was called
about / 80 this morning to attend HIM.
The DR.. found that the smallbone OF
his right arm between the wrist and
elbow had been broken, two teeth had
been knocked loose and his face and
body badly cut and bruised.
After his wounds were dressed he
was brought to Hotel Berkeley in a
livery team and this morning he left
for his home at Inwood.
The bridge at the point where he Tell
is between 30 and 40 feet from the
ground and his escape is considered
miraculous.

MAN UNDER THE BED
AN EXCITING TIMEI IN NORTH MAR
TINsBUnG MONDAY NIGHT.
Nefghbors Arm with Clubs, shotguns,
BevoIvers, Pokers and Brooms to
Battle with an Intruder in the
Home of Jos. r. Oliver.

Quite an excitement was caused in
North Martinsburg Monday between
8 and Q o. clock p. m. by the discovery
of what was thought to be man under
a bed at the home of Mr.. Joseph K.
Oliver, Ga Librety street.
A few minutes after eight O'Clock
Mr.. divers young daughter, Miss
Rude, went up stairs to dress for the
evening and as she entered the room
she was Mortified to see the feet and
legs of man extending out from un-
der the bed She beat hasty retreat
down stairs and informed her mother
of what she had seen.
The news soon spread in the neigh
borhood and many brave neighbors
came to the aid of the frightened oc
cupants of the Oliver home. Mr.. New
tonsKearns, armed with club, Thorn
as Keams, armed with shot gun,
Harry Oliver with revolver, Mrs.
Charles Smith with poker and an
other neighbor with a broom marched
in body up stairs to give battle with
the intruder. Mr. Hartman assumed
command. Stationing himself with
uplifted club at the end of the bed,
from under which the legs were seen
to be still protruding, he gave orders
for the bed to be moved i'll order that
he might let the club descend with
terrific force ON the head of the
IMAM. The head moved, the club
descended, but to the amazement of
the excited throng there was no cutlery.
The armed host then ventured to
touch the body To their chagrin they
found it was not a real man, but a
dummy. While all this was going on
two little girls, Della Oliver and Mary
Cage, were not far away almost split
ting their sides with laughter. They
had fixed up the dummy to scare Ru-
die Oliver when she went up stairs
to dress. The joke on such a crowd of
neighbors was unexpected.

From Choking.

AS the result of half of the seed of
a large peach which she had been eat
ing becoming lodged in her throat, Mrs.
VIM Mckee, of W. Race street, came
near choking to death Saturday night.
Mrs Mex ee had broken the peach
and the seed in two and she was eat
ing one of the halves when the seed
slipped down her throat before she
knew it. 1t became lodged i'll her
throat and caused her to suffer terri
bly,. She could neither sallow nor get
the seed out of her throat and while
awaiting the arrival of a doctor she
came near choking. Fortunately,
however; the seed did not close her
wind pipe.
DR.. Sencindiver arrived and reliev-
ed her of her suffering by pushing the
seed down her throat. Her throat was
considerably cut by the sharp edges Of
the seed and it is with much pain that
she now swallows her food. The sore
ness will all pass away in afew days,
however. and she will soon recover
from the effects of her unpleasant ex-
perience.

FRIENDLY RESOLUTIONS PASSED
WINCHESTER RED MEN TO MAR
TrNsBuaG RED MEN AND SOLDIERS.
A Set of Resolutions Received Here
which shows Their Appreciation
ofthe Recent sham Battle.


The following resolutions passed by
Shawnee Tribe Improved Order OF heu
Men. of Winchester, Va, ON the sham
battle fought in that city, Jnly be-
tween the Red Men and Military Com
pany of this city, have been received
here
To The Officers and Members Of
Shawnee Tribe, No. ?, Imp. Q. K. M.
Chiefs and Brothres -
Not many Suns have elapsed since
our Tribe by grace of the brave and
gallant warriors of Tuscarora Tribe
No. 50 Imp. .. r. NJ, and the Val
lent soldiers Of Co, +. first Reg, W..
Va. n. G., of Martinsburg, w Va,
was enabled to make a demonstration
never before seen in Winchester. We
your Sham Battle Committeeman think
it exceedingly appropriate that the
Tribe should express, even though it
be in feeble way, their appreciation
of what the two organizations did for
us so cheerfully.
First, every one realizes that had 1t
not been for our visitors the day
would have not been much from o
spectacular standing, neither would 1t
have been the success il was IN so
many ways nor would Winchester have
been SO thronged with the thousands
of visitors. who were undeniably at
| tracted by the fact that the Sham Bat
| tie would be held. In fact, the Fourth
| of July was as soldiers and Red
Mans day as it was fireman. event.
Then again while the Sham Battle
/ in itself was u gigantic success, to be
judged by the interest displayed in
its progress. The dignifiea bearing
of the Martinsburg Chieftians was in
keeping with the characters they inn
personated.
As they moved to and fro amidst the
| throngs that day, attired in the many
handsome and costly costumes, the
pale faces looked at them with admit
ration and pleasure.
! The soldier boy was also in evidence
and received much homage from the
appreciative civilian. Altogether each
organization acquitted itself with cred
| it and did much TO solidify the good
| feeling that should aud does exist be-
! tween the sister towns of this end of
the Cumberland Valley. And mas
much as this Tribe and this people
sincerely considers themselves under
everlasting obligations to those who
came over and helped us, we, your
Committee, recommend that Shawnee
Tribe No. 2, Imp. O. r. NJ, of Win
chester, Va, does
Resolve that we express
in this feeble manner our earnest
thanks and heartfelt appreciation to
Tuscarora Tribe No. 80 Imp o. r.. NJ.
and Co. + First Reg, W. Va, N. g.,
of Martinsburg, W, VA, for the ex-
cellent and much valued assistance
they rendered Shawee Tribe in the
city of Winchester by putting ON the
! Sham Battle at the Golf Links ON July
the fourth, 1902, and we assure them
that it is our fond hope that we may
be able at some no distant day to youch
for our appreciation by returning the
favor and doing whatever we can for
| them.

Officer McRibbon All Right.

Unless some unexpected complications
arise, Police officer o. r. McKibbon will
leave the Oil City hospital on Wednesday
of this week for his home in Siverly. says
the Derrick. On Monday Drs. O'Day
and Rhea, who have had charge of the
case since McKibbon was wounded by
Joe Manning. the tramp burglar, made
a thorough examination of the body of
the wounded policeman by means of the
N-ray machine. No trace of the bullet
that was fired into the left side of the oili-
GERS neck was found, aud il is believed
that during the time that the officer was
coughing and vomiting blood while
aw Waiting the arrival of the ambulance at
Tuck's store. where he was carried soon
after being shot, that he got rid of the
bullet in this manner. The bullet that
entered his right breast went through
the body aud lies only short @istauce
below the skin. 1t is giving the patient
no trouble and will probably be left
where it is for the present at least. The
case has been watched with much inter-
est by the medical profession of the city.
The policeman was shot on the night of
August 20, and it was nearly two hours
before he received any surgical attention.
It was not thought possible that he could
recover. and no hope was held out for
several DAYS. Mr.. McKibbon, who had
demonstrated his courage by arresting
the man who had 50 desperatly wounded
him, showed additional symptoms later
in the morning when an attempt was
made to get his ante-mortem statement.
At that tiue he informed the attorney
that he was going tc get well and it see.ns
now as though he was correct in his
opinion. It is not believed that the
wound in the len jaw, which shattered
the bone, will cause much ofa disiigure-
ment.

Fifteen hundred dollars, part of the
proceeds of the Townville bank robbery,
and which had evidently been hidden by
the robbers with the intention of secul
ing at some future time, was found this
morning by l.. G.. Durfee of TOwnville in
shed on his premises. The bank di-
rectors can congratulate themselves that
the money was found by an honest man,
for it would have been an easy matter for
the finder to appropriate 1t to his own
uses and say nothing. Instead of this,
| however, Mr.. Durfee Immediately turned
| the money over to the directors OF the
! bank.
Tho money was wrapped in a rubber
blanket and had evidently been hidden
in the shed and Immediately after the
robbery, for the blanket was dCcayed
with age and the elements. The treas
ure consisted of S255 in gold and the bal
ance in silver, too heavy load for the
bank robbers to conveniently carry with
them. On the morning of the capture of
| the supp ,sed robbers at Hydetown, tracks
| in the snow were found leading to the
shed where the money was to-day un-
earthed, but cursory examination Of the
shed at that time revealed nothing that
led to the suspicion that portion Of the
plumber was hidden there. -Titusyille
