Edward Cox Drowned.

Edward Cox, a woodsman who was In
the employ Of =. Mcdonald at Sher-
wood and Harveys Run about ten years,
was found dead in the Sandy Lick creek
near the Berwind- White shaft above
Dubois on Friday noon OF last week.
There was only about eighteen inches
OF water In the stream where body was
found He had taken of his hat, coat,
vest, collar and tie and shoes and left
them on the bank. IL was reported
through several papers that Cox had
committed suicide, but there Is ques-
tion about that. Twice Cox came very
nearly dying from hemorrhage of the
stomach and when he was suffering
from hemorrhage he claimed that his
stomach would pain him as II on fire,
and some of his friends think IL possible
that he was threatened with a hemor-
rhagc and waded into the water TO lie
down to cool himself of and became
weak and helpless and was drowned A

acquainted with Cox, as be boarded at

Punxstitawney has Saturday night
feature that possibly is not possessed by
any other town Ia this end OF the State.
And that is her Saturday night crowds
on the streets. From early evening till
ten there Is u continued procession OF
people. Many are out marketing or
shopping, some are on pleasure bent,
others are out for their health, some ap-
pear to wander aimlessly up and down
the streets and here and there groups
are seen at stand-still Men, women,
children, girls and boys and an OCCASION
al baby carriage. Sometimes a yelping
dog gets mixed up in the tramping
crowd only to be kicked out into the
street where there is more room for IT,
And did you ever try to catch what the
people are talking about? You may be
sure they were not all conversing about
the same thing. Here come two young
ladies and as they pass all you catch is

"This reunion did not embrace the
different branches of the Smith family

wise the farm houses throughout the
vicinity would have been left In charge
Of the house dog and cat. To assemble
all the Smiths and their connections
would mean general invitation to all

Some soulless ghoul cut the wire cable
at Rochester mines last Wednesday
night. 1t was evidently his intention
to cause the cable to part when train
load of cars were coming out OF the
mines, as the cable was cut in several
places, In every case all but one strand
being severed. What his motives were,
no one but himself knows, but it was a
malicious trick and one that might have
caused serious accident or even loss Of
life. Fortunately the person whose

Than hold the cup over a fire,
