Home Burned to the Ground.

Clarence Rishel of near Strawberry
Ridge, is the victim Of double misfor-
tune by storm and fire which has not
only left him homeless, but has rob-
bed him Of everything but the bare
acres of his farm.
During last winter his barn collapsed
under the deep snow and was a total
loss. 1t had to be torn down and Mr..
Rishel is just now beginning the cree
tion of a new barn on the site of the
old.
Early Friday morning AMr. Rish-
els house took fire from a defective
fiue. Before it was discovered the en-
tire roof was on fire The high wind
famed the flames into fury, which
soon enveloped the entire structure
burning it to the ground. Although
assisted by neighbors the family was
able to save but few articles, con-
tanned i'll the lower rooms and the eel
lar. All their clothing was lost.
The house was a fine frame structure
nearly new. Mr. RiShel's loss is at
least 81, 600 He had only $500 insur-
ance The farm is now without any
buildings, and the unfortunate farmer
and his family last night were obliged
TO seek shelter with the neighbors.
Mr.. Rishel formerly resided on
Boom street, Mahoning township.

POPULATION
SHOULD INCREASE

The population of MontOur county
should be on the increase, if the eX-
cess of births over deaths has any
thing to do with it, fact attested by
local statistics for the past year.
The records show two hundred and
sixty births in the county and one
hundred and fifty-fi five deaths. 1t is a
coincidence that just one-half Of the
births, one hundred and thirty, occurr-
ed in the borough of Danville. The
records for the borough show: First
Ward-births, p; deaths, 20; Second
Ward-births, %; deaths, 49,; Third
Ward-births, 45; deaths, IA. Fourth
Ward-biIths, 30; deaths, 2l. The
natural gain of population i'll the Dor
ough is fifty-six.
In the county outside of Danville
there were forty nine more births than
deaths, the records of each Of the scv.
eral townships showing the following

MERCHANTS
SWINDLED

A bold forger, who had laid his plans
well, on Saturday night last succeed
ed in swindling our merchants out of
considerable sums of money.
During the evening the man, who
readily passed as a respectable country
man, appeared i'll the general store of
d. r. Eckman and made some pur-
chases. Before giving his order he eX
planned to the proprietor that he was
short of ready cash. His name, he
said, was George Mosier, and he was
an employe of Andrew Steinman,
County Treasurer. In lieu Of ready
cash the man carried Mr.. Steinman 5
check for sixteen dollars payable at
the First National bank of this city,
which he desired the merchant to ac-
cept in payment for the goods.
Business men are generally chary Of
checks presented by strangers and Mr..
Eckman hesitated. The fellow, how
ever, seemed plausible and showed a
very intimate acquaintance with the
farming community i'll general and
the MOsers in particular. He finally
disarmed all suspicion by talking in a
very familiar way over Mr.. Eek man 5
hunting trip last fall in which the
merchant and County Treasurer Stein
man were companions.
Mr.. ECkman agreed to accept the
check The fellow bought goods to
the amount of four dollars. He placed
| his signature on the back of the check
| i'll "A heavy laborious hand writing
much accustomed to handling the pen.
| Mr.. Eckman deducted the amount of
the purchase and handed the balance,
twelve dollars, over to the stranger.
The latter left the store stating that
he would drive around i'll a short time
and remove the goods.
| The closing hour arrived and the
goods still remained i'll the store, a
circumstance not at all reaSsuring to

ed forgery The bankers recognized
