ElOped With Italian.

Mrs, Gabriel Wenrick, of Northum-
berland, wife of the D. L. q W. round
house foreman, has eloped with an
Italian laborer, who was employed on
the Pennsylvania. railroad In that
town.
On Saturday night she went to Suu-
bury with the Italian, as was especi-
ally noticed by the motorman and con-
ductor of the street car, and since then
no trace has been found of either of
them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wenrick have been
married but little over year. He has
passed the half century mark, while
she hs not yet reached twenty. His
first wife died about six years ago af-
ter doing her share towards the prop
agation of species by bringing four
teen children into the world. He
mourned the loss of his helpmate for
about five years, and then began to
look around for another to fill her
place.
On farm bordering the borough
limits of Northumberland he found
country girl, beautiful, fascinating
and unsophisticated. He won her love
and brought her to town as his wife.
This was but little over a year ago
Since that time great changes were
wrought. Mrs. Wenrick felt that she
was imposed upon when forced to be-
come the stepmother of fourteen chill
dren, several of whom were older than
she was. Then, too, she met the Ital-
ian. He was only laborer, to be sure,
working with a gang of his fellow
countrymen keeping the Pennsy lvania
tracks in repair. But, on the 9th +
hand he was very gallant, and his
black eyes and gay smile won the
heart of the young woman. Her in
fatuation for him increased until she
finally consented to run away with
him.

TRAIN HIT WAGON
FARMER INJURED

The S. B. & B. railroad crossing at
Shaffer's bridge was the scene of a
serious accident Saturday morning at
II O'Clock, when a farm wagon in
which rode Freese Kistler and Alfred
Crawford, of Cambria, was run down
by fast moving freight train, wagon
practically demolished, and both men
flung down the embankment, break ing
both of Kistler's legs.
The men were on their way from
Mordansville to Bloomsbury in a COW
cred farm wagon drawn by Kistler's S
team of horses. The train was OH its
way to Berwick, and owing to the
curve at that point, the men did not
see or hear the train; neither did the
trainmen see the wagon until the
horses were on the track, and the fast
approaching train was only q few
yards distant.
The engine struck the wagon near
the rear wheel and flung the body of
the vehicle up onto the fence posts
along the track, the rear wheels and
axle being sent whirling down into
the ditch, and both men were flung
down the ten-foot bank OF the Fishing
creek
Crawford escaped with apparently
no injuries beside a bad shak ing up,
and picked himself up unassisted
Kistler, however, was badly hurt Both
legs were broken just above the ankle,
both bones in each leg being fractur-
ed.
William Mcmahon, who lives near
the bridge, came running to the scene
and the train was brought to stop as
soon as possible. Kistler was carried
up onto the road, and placed in Nc
Mahon's wagon and driven back to hls
home in Cambria. Physicians declared
his to be one of the worst kinds of
fractures, and as both limbs were brok
en-, it is liable to incapacitate Mr.. Kist
Ter for future farm work, or for any
occupation which requires a great
deal of standing on the feet The in
jury is a very painful one. Besides
the fracture of the legs, internal in
juries are also feared, and several
bruises were found about the body.
The greater part of the farm wagon
which was struck by the train was
left mass of wreckage. The team of
horses, however, were the least con-
cerned of all over the accident, and
were not even scared when the train
struck the wagon and knocked it from
behind them. They patiently stood in
the roadway until driven over the Nc
Mahon farm.

Big DEFICIT IN
STATE ROAD FUND

II is very evident that some of the
State roads asked for by counties of
Pennsylvania will go begging for sew
eral years to come. Indeed it is very
doubtful whether all the roads con-
tracted for will be built, because of
the unavailability of funds. The i'm
provements asked by various counties
amount to $24. Els, 908, while the avail
sble appropriation is only $5.7l0, 0G0,
leaving deficit of $40, 219, 25S Out of
the original appropriation there was
available to June /, 1907. SO, 800, 600.
The State has paid out on contracts
for road construction the sum of ST.
991, ,048. The balances unpaid on exist
ing contracts amount TO 81, $50, 952,
making a grand total of 50, 572, 900,
which is over s72, 900 more than the
amount available. This sum will have
TO be paid out Of the 81, 500, 600 which
becomes available for use ON June of
the present year, in order to complete
payments on work already contracted
for and IN many instances partly con-
structed.

Injured at Exchange.

A thrilling accident occurred at the
planning mill of W. II. Dildine at Ex-
change Monday afternoon, when
John W. Ritter, an employe at the
plant, was caught in a belt, thrown
into the achicery. and his right arm
torn loose at the shoulder, the upper
end of the big bone being forced
through the flesh.
Mr. Ritter was carrying boards away
from the planer, when his coat caught
in one of the smaller belts, throwing
him toward the big main shaft. In
falling his right arm struck the big
belt that runs the planer, which oper-
ates at a very high speed.
Ir twinkling the mans arm was
securely caught between the belt and
the pulley wheel. ana as the machin-
cry continued to revolve, his arm was
wound around the shaft, and that men,
Der toru loose from the shoulder.
W. H. DIldine, proprietor of the
mill, by his presence of mind prevent
ed horrible catastrophe from occur
ring. He quickly reversed the engine
and threw off the big belt, stopping
the machinery. But quick as he was,
he was not an instant too soon to save
Mr.. Ritter's life.
When lifted from his perilous posi-
tion, Mr.. Ritter was nearly unconsc-
ious. He was taken to his home in Ex-
change, and DR.. Muffly, of Turbot-
Vile was called. An examination
showed that the bic bone of the upper
arm had been entirely torn loose at
the shoulder joint, every ligament be-
ing severed. In addition to this the
upper end of the bone had been pulled
over into the mans chest, where it
protruded for seven inches through a
rent in the flesh 6 inches long.
The physician last evening was con-
fident that the injury will ultimately
mend, but it will be at least two
months before Mr.. Ritter can again
use his arm.

Natures "Air Castles"

In the northern Italian Tyrol are q
cluster of awe-inpsiring mountain
peaks that violate all ideas of what
mountains should be. They are known
as the Dolomites. Tossed high, as if
arrested in mid-air, they are nature Is
own "Castles in the air.. - More than
any castle walls ever built by man,
they seem to defy all possibility of
ascent. So little known, and so defiant
are these mountains obelisks that they
have never been conquered by man un-
til few months ago. Just how they
were finally surmounted is shown full
