neighborhood was brought to town this

ney, charging him with cruelty to animals.
He was taken before Squire Shoemaker and
not being ready for trial, the hearing was
postponed until Saturday. He gave bond
in the sum Of $Ioo. The officer went to
Dellslow last night to get his man and return
ed this morning.
The information which led TO the arrest of
Resse was given by Ernest Brown, young
man who vas with the prisoner at the time the
alleged deed was committed. According TO
his story, he and Rease were in town Sa,ur-
day and the latter got very drunk. On their
way home Rease drove the horse at rapid
pace and used his whip freely. When they
reached the DelIslow hill, the animal could
not or would not go further. Brown says
Rease dashed it viciously with the whip. in
spite of his protests
The buggy in which the men were travel
ing had been borrowed for the trip by Brown
and he feared it might be damaged if Rease
continued his whipping of the horse. They
were only mile from the place where the
buggy belonged and Rease suggested that
they unhitch the horse and proceed on foot.
1t seems That this suggestion was complied
with and that Brown had succeeded in de-
taching the animal from the vehicle. lie
was placing the buggy safely out of the
road when Rease drew his pen.knife and
with an oath, cut the horses throat. The
animal bed to death.
Brown says he protested with Rease on
account of this action and was threatened
with the same fate. lie had a pair Of flat
irons in the buggy and arming himself with
one OF these, compelled Rease TO quiet down.
With the assistance Of William Hemsinp
and others, Brown says he procured another
horse and took Rease to his home. lie had
become very violent and threatened the an
inhalation Of all who interfered with him.
Brown came TO town and told the story sub
slanlially as given above 10 the humane Off
Ger, who had the warrant issued.
The horse killed was the property Of
Kease. The warrant issued was for 'g.orenz"
Rease, though the officers are not sure that
this IS the correct name. lie is Familiarity
known as ''Enz" and Brown gave the inn
preston that he is bad one. HebAs or

Some OF the Republican papers
and orators have been poking fun
at Senator Davis because of his age,
but if any of them think the old
gentlemans's faculties are impaired
in anyway let them tackle him on a
coal timber or land deal or some
kind of railroad business. History
is full Of examples of men much
older than Senator Davis, who ac-
complished great things. Take
Noah, the Great Sailor, for instance
who built the ark and made the
greatest voyage on record with the
biggest menagers that ever travelled
and afterwards tackled and made a
great success of the largest job of
pioneer new-settler-emigrdnt-from-
observation-disclosures ever re-
corded in history and the old man
was five hundred and eighteen years,
four months and twenty five DAYS
older than Senator Davis when he
accomplished all this.

The poor old Gar of Russia has
been having hard time of it. He
has been married number of years
and his wife has presented him with
one girl after another and the Car
and all his Empire praying night
and day for a son and successor.
Finally about year ago still born
son came to them and this almost
broke his heart and made him so
desperate that he made war on Jap
an to get even with somebody, but
this didn't work, for he has gotten
Que licking after another right along
all the time. But at last thin gs are
coming his way and the dark cloud is
passing over. On last Friday a
fine hearty boy was born 10 him at

his dearest wish is realized. What
cares the Gar now if he does get
licked by the laps.

Thirteen Pennsylvania regiments,
whose deeds of valor in the civil war
had not been commemorated upon any
of the great battlefields OF that war,
were remembered Sept. II by the eerc-
ton of monuments on the field OF An
tietam, one of the bloodiest engage
ments of the conflict, through the as
sistance of the state of Pennsylvania,
which gave 1872 800 for the purpose:
The battle of Antietam Creek, or, as
the Confederates called it, the battle
of Sharpsburg, which ragged all the
long, hot day of Sept. II, 1862, from
the first red streak of the humid dawn
to the suffocating and stagnant hest
at sunset, was one of the bloodiest
battles of the war, and has its place
IN a list Of the 800 great military
slaughters of history. Nearly 100000
men commended the field, and the cas-
ualties ware $4,000, of which the
Union army, under Gen. Mcclellan,
I which had force nearly double Lees,
lost $4,000.

Picking Coal by Machine.

England is soon to have complete
coal screenings plant for the express
purpose of picking" Goals. The coal
is carried on a travelling belt, while
operatives, standing on each side at
short; distances, pick out the stone,
shale and other substances as the
coal passes along. The plant will
have picking belts, jigging screens,
revolving tipples and various convey
ors, together with the necessary steel
structural; work and gearing. The re-
volving tippler, with a diameter Of six
feet six inches, is arranged to convey
all the coal from the tubs to the
screens without waste and to reduce
the breakage to- a minimum. The jig.
ger sorts into three classes of coal
smudge, nut and best. On the under
side of the jigging screen are two
steel plate shoots for delivering the
nut and slack to the picking belts.
There are three belts arranged to con.
vey the coal to the trucks, with low
ering shoots at the end At the end of
each c0nveyor are three steel plate
shoots for delivering the material into
the wagons. The plant is designed to
deal with an output Of 500 tons day.

PENNSYLVANIA REMEMBERS SONS
WHO FOUGHT AT ANTIETAM

see that day, the two armies, which
had bivouaeked ON the field, began
the terrific fire against each other.
The battle ragged across cornfields, in
gullies, in the woods and on the stone
bridge, still standing, which crosses
the Antietam creek, deep stream, in
which hundreds were drowned that
day.
4 Confederate battery and well pro-
tected sharpsheoters covered the ap-
proach to the bridge, which Gen.
Burnside had been ordered to carry.
The bridge, which is twelve feet wide
and $50 feet long, was constantly
swept by hail of bullets which made
it's capture one of the hardest tasks
OF the day. Several attempts were
made. First, the Second Maryland
and Sixth New Hampshire charged.
The hillside opposite instantly was
ablaze with musketry, and the four
pieces of artillery trained upon the
charging column fred a terrific stream
OF. canister, which melted down the
advancing troops with terrible slaugh-
ter. Another attempt was made with
the Fifty.fr Pennsylvania and the
Fifty-frst New York, the former un-
der command Of Col. John F. Hart
ranft. This commander massed his
command behind the F0rty-eighth
