Nov. 81, 1902. She is survived by
two sons and one daughter, John
W., David A., and Mary E., wife
of Joseph Edwards, all of Taylor
township.
At the time of her death, she
was visiting her daughter, Mrs.
Edwards. Her death was very
sudden. Arising in the morning
feeling as well as usual and eat
ing a hearty breakfast, she took
up some knitting with which to
occupy her time. AT about IL
o'clock, on attempting to arise
from her chair, she fell to the
floor pillowing her head on the lap
of her little grand daughter, who
was sitting on the foor. Mrs.
Edwards, with others, raised her
up and carried her to the lounge,
but in few minutes life was ex-
tinct, she passing away without a
struggle. She was member of
the Fairview M. e. church for
more than so years. She was q
kind and good mother and loved
by all who knew her. The funeral
services, which were largely at
tended were held in the Huston

TURNPIKE BRIDGE BURNED.

Morning.

The Bedford and Chambers.
burg Turnpike bridge spanning
the Juniata at the "Narrows," a
mile east of Bedford, was totally
destroyed by fire last Thursday
morning, and it is supposed was
the work of an incendiary.
a letter addressed to f. NJ. Gif-
fin who keeps the toll.gate at the
south end of the bridge was
found by him on Thursday morn
ing, having been placed on his
porch with small stone lying on
it to prevent the wind from carry
ing it away, The letter contain
ed threats, saying that he held in
respect the families of Mr.. Gitfin,
and Mr.. Stiffler, the keeper just
east of Bedford, but that the
writer intended to blow up the
residences of Stiffier and Giffin,
both owned by the Turnpike
Company, and that the collection
of the tolls must be ceased. The
letter was signed "Citizen."

pealed to the court on the question
of damages, and the matter has
hung so long without a decision
that it is supposed that some one
has become so eXasperated over
the delay that the destruction o.
the Company's property has beer
begun.
The bridge was a substantial
wooden structure, $50 feet il
length, and was built in 1872 at {
cost of between $4,000 and $1,000
In addition to the loss of the
bridge to the Company they vii
lose not less than $500 in toll, dur
ing the six months time neces
sary to rebuild it.

We reap as we have sown"
Now, if we wish to meet with
success, we must start out in life
with one unwavering aim. We
may meet many discouragements
on life's stormy sea, and may be
beaten back time after time; but
if we have our eye fixed, and
keep pushing on toward the goal
the victory is ours and we shall
be crowned with success.

erty of James Sipes. The moth
g.. died and was buried on this
farm in 1850.
In the same year, 1850, her son
Robert was one of the white set
tiers evicted by the sheriff of
Cumberland county as an intru-
der on Indian lands; and, with
others, was placed under bond to
the proprietaries not to trespass
farther on the Indians domain.
John, with others, no doubt elu-
ded the sheriff and remained. =
Subsequently Robert sold his
landed interests to John and
went west, becoming the progen-
itor of a numerous line of de.
scendants.
John remained in the Cove, and
his son Francis was the father of
James Kendall of whose family
the deceased James G.. Kendall
was memb ber.
James G.. Kendall was born on
the farm on which he resided at
the time of his death, and there
grew to manhood. Dnring the
Civil War he twice enlisted in the
service of his country-the first
time on the Goth of July 1868, and
was a Sergeant in Company M,
Goth Regiment Pennsylvania Cav
airy, and was mustered out with
his regiment October 3, 1868. He
re.enlisted September 1, 1864,
and was a member of Company
G, 205th Regiment p. ", was de-
tailed as regimental clerk, and
was mustered out June 3, 1865,
after the close of the war.
December 21, 1866, he was
united in marriage with Miss
Margaret Morrow, of Allegheny
county, a sister of Mrs. j. Walker
Johnston, purchased the farm at
the stone house just north of the
Associate Presbyterian church in
the Cove and went to housekeep-
ing there. After the death of his
father, he purchased theold home
stead two miles south of McOon-
uellsburg and moved onto it in
1882.
He was one of the most pro.
gressive and successful farmers
in the Cove, and thoroughly be-
lieved that success in farming, as
iu any other business, depended
more on the farmer than the
farm.
He is survived by his wife and
the following children, namely,
Morrow M. Emma, wife of j. r.
Henderson, Richmond, Kansas
Miss Mary Laura, wife of w. b
Mcdowell, Lemaster, Pa. Miss
Annie, Jumonville, Pa. (; James Fl
and Miss Ruth. Those whose ad
dress is not otherwise given are

Mr.. Kendall was a consistent
member of the Associate Presby
terian church.

CASE
IN SUPREME COURT
Involves Question of Deal
ing in Futures

The Supreme Court has been asked
court of appeals in a suit brought by j.
H. Parker 6; Co., members of the New
York Cotton Exchange. to recover from
W. A. Moore, of Greenville, S. c., s4,-
1893. losses sustained by deal in cot
ton futures in 1900.
The action was brought in the United
States circuit court for the district OF
South Carolina when Judge Simonton
ordered a non-suit on the strength OF
the South Carolina law, declaring vol!
those dealings in futures where it is not
the bona fide intention of both parties
to the transaction TO actually deliver
the article bought and sold, together
with the Interpretation of this statute
by the supreme court of South Carolina
that the party pleading the gambling
character of the contract need prove
nothing, except that ii was contract
for future delivery.
Parker took an appeal TO the circuit
court of appeals, which reversed the
non-suit, and ordered retrial in the
court below.
without awaiting the result of the re-
trial. Moore has asked the Supreme
Court to review the action of the Fed
eral circuit court. on the ground that
the whole life and purpose of the act
of South Carolina were involved. and
that the right of a Federal court TO dis
regard the decision of State court on
a subject matter declared by its Legis-
lature TO involve the morals of its peo-
pie is in conflict with the< laws and de-
cisions of the United States Supreme
Court, making decided departure which
should not be permitted to go uneor-
rected.
