Adjudged Insane Mrs. Mary Ann Williams of Seldom Seen was on Saturday last adjudged insane. It was shown that the woman talked constantly of her household duties repeating the list of tasks performed over and over all day long. Booming the Trolley Now Even the skeptical are now inclined to admit that the Johnstown-Ebensburg trolley line has stepped clear out of the ranks of the things possible and is assuming a tangible aspect. The right of way was secured some time ago. The line has been gone over by the surveyors. Capital for the venture is assured. The line from the present situation is a go and unless the unexpected happens, trolley cars will, before the passing of many months, be whizzing past the doors of Ebensburg property owners. What is perhaps the most significant fact in connection with the construction of the road is the fact that arrangements have been practically concluded whereby the Old Portage right of way will be used by the street car people. There is a roadbed already constructed. The work of months is there already accomplished. What such an arrangement means to the proposed road can hardly be estimated. Such an arrangement also indicates that the right kinds of people are back of the venture. Besides the mainline it is proposed to construct several spurs to act as feeders for the main line. The new trolley line, if constructed, will mark an era in the development of Cambria county. Nicktown Notes Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Hammond formerly of this place but now of Belsano called on friends in this place recently. Miss Emma Lieb is in Philadelphia. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Wyland have moved from this place to Loretto, where she will spend a few weeks and where Mr. Wyland has purchased the store of Mr. Shields. Miss Stella McDermott of Ebensburg spent Sunday with her parents in this place. J. Kirsch the painter and paper hanger has been doing some work at the homes of J. Lamborn and W. J. Pfeister. A. W.

McDermott who for the past four years has been working in New Mexico is spending a few weeks with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. McDermott of this place. It is rumored that Dr. Hines of Strongstown will in the near future locate in this place. Bright News from Patton Miss Nellie McCord of Berwindale spent several days in Patton last week as the guest of her cousin, Miss Byrd Hurd. Miss Minnie Holter spent last Sunday at Rossiter returning home on Monday evening. Albert Rumberger journeyed to McHaffy Monday evening returning on the late train. Our highly respected citizen, Mr. Jack Tubby, after spending the winter at the County Sanitarium has returned to Patton where he will remain during the heated term. Two of our bibulous citizens affected an entrance last Friday night into the cellar of the Arlington House and attempted to carry away a keg of beer. Landlord Scheld caught them in the act and had them arrested. They were given a hearing before Boone who held them under bail to appear at the next term of court. Hon. W. C. Lingle spent several days of this week in New York. The foundation under the residence of Mr. James Barnwell was damaged to such an extent by the ice flood some few weeks ago that on last Saturday morning without warning they collapsed, letting one corner drop several feet. Fortunately no one was injured although the occupants were considerably shaken up. If a few more of the merchants on Magee avenue would follow the example of Ed A. Mellon and clean up in front of their places of business it would look as if they had some pride in the appearance of our principal thoroughfare. Miss Virginia Lingle attended a social function last week in Bellefonte. W. H. Deninger spent this week in Philadelphia and New York. Miss Carrie Williams who has been seriously ill for the past few months is slowly convalescing. Mrs. Clark Tyler and daughter, Miss Harriet, are visiting friends at Windber. Fred Rees of Bellefonte has accepted a position in Charles F. Pitts’ store. Company Declares Dividend The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Cresson Foundry Machine and Car Company was held at Cresson, Pa., on Monday May 2, 1904. The stockholders were all present. The former board of directors were re- elected, namely: James L. Mitchell, John W. Kephart, W. E. Stineman, P. B. Cosgrove and C. Wendroth. The old officers will likely be continued in office. A six per cent dividend was declared and the treasurer was directed to sell the balance of capital stock unsold. Brewery Has Opening Day The formal opening of the Cresson Springs Brewery located at Cresson on the top of the mountains was held on Thursday last. It was a marked success. It went far beyond the most sanguine hopes of the promoters. And not alone Cambria county, but nearly all sections of the state were represented. Brewers from every important place in western and central Pennsylvania were there. They had heard of the modernity of the new enterprise, of its many labor saving appliances, of its healthful location and of its pure spring water used in the making of the product. If the brewers could not come themselves they sent their brew masters and there was such a gathering of men skilled it the art of beer making as is seldom witnessed anywhere. Johnstowners were there in force. To be a little more exact, it is estimated that 200 Joyful cityites went up, tasted of the delicious beverage and came home fill with enthusiasm not inspired altogether by the effervescence of the “amber.” John Emmerlinger and party went up and the Goenner brewery also was represented. Besides there were a great many hotel and saloon men. From the west, Pittsburg, Greensburg, Jeannette, Latrobe, New Castle, Uniontown, Connellsville and many other places sent their delegations. These men were there mostly to study the plant not to drink its beer. They wanted to know what was new in the way of labor-saving inventions, so that, if practicable such arrangements could be installed in their own plants. They received many valuable tips for nothing was concealed and visitors were enlightened on any point regarding which they seemed to be in the dark. Early in the morning the first trains on all the roads, main line and branches, dumped their quotas of visitors and there was no let up until late at night. Altogether it is estimated that 2000 people visited the brewery. It is a time honored custom among enterprises of such character about to begin operations to give the first brew away on the opening day. This was done Thursday. Four long bars – temporary of course – were put in the main building and behind these, bartenders scurried all day long supplying the wants of the thirsty. There was no disorder. The crowds were cheerful and of an inquiring turn of mind. A Johnstown brewer said, “It is the most complete plant for its size I have ever seen.” The capacity of the new enterprise is 45,000 barrels. The output will be increased as the demand grows. A strong effort will be made to supplant some of the foreign beers now sold, especially in eastern and northern Cambria. An agency will be established in Johnstown and possibly one in Altoona. A specialty will be made of family trade. Thus it is expected to establish a flourishing business without damaging to any great extent the operations of other breweries in Cambria county. The Cresson Springs Brewery is capitalized at $100,000 and behind it are none but Cambria county men. It is proposed that the enterprise shall be run for the benefit of Cambria county and that the profits shall accrue to Cambria countians. The officers and directors have already been made known through The FREEMAN. But here they are again: Joseph Henger, Ebensburg, president; Thomas F. Callan, Cresson, vice president; H. A. Englehart, Ebensburg, secretary and treasurer; Directors – The officers with R. C. Edelblute of Gallitzin, Joseph Bengle of Gallitzin, S . W.

DEATHS Committed Suicide James Frederick, a liveryman of Homer City, Indiana county, committed suicide Saturday by shooting himself. He had been despondent for some time owing to business troubles and his mind had been clouded the past couple of years. He was aged about 35 years and leaves two children and his wife. The interment was made in Johnstown Tuesday. Mrs. Daniel J. Davis On Monday morning Mrs. Daniel J. Davis, of this place, passed away as the result of an attack of meningitis. She was the daughter of Richard B. and Ann Davis and was born at North Ebensburg a little over 63 years ago. When about 13 years old she was received into Christian fellowship in the Calvinistic Methodist church and the profession she then made was maintained – unbroken in the end. In January 1869, she was married to Daniel Davis. She leaves also two daughters – Mrs. Annie M. Jones, wife of Superintendent Herman T. Jones and Regina Jean, 17 years old. Two of her sisters and one brother are still living – Mary, the wife of W. Harrison Davis; Ann, the wife of W. T. Griffith, Pittsburg; and John R. Davis of Cambria township. Her funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon of this week, the services being in charge of Rev. S. G. Craig assisted by Rev. J. Twyson Jones and Rev. S. Griffiths of Johnstown. Appropriate selections were sung by a quartet consisting of Messrs. Jonathan Owens, Addison Owens, John S. James and J. T. Jones. Mrs. Davis was a woman of the highest Christian character and her death is a distinct loss to the community in which her life and works having so long been influences leading to better things. Mrs. Geo. C. Brady It is with sorrow we record the death of Mrs. Geo. C. Brady which occurred at her home last Friday after an illness of several weeks during which time everything known to medical skill and the kindness of care and attention were lavished upon her to alleviate her suffering and restore her to health but without avail. Mrs. Brady, whose maiden name was Francis Blair, was born at Clintonville, Centre county, Pa., 38 years ago. Her father, Dr. Blair, was during his life, a prominent physician. Her mother still survives. About 17 years ago she married George C. Brady and for many years resided at Patton. She was of a retiring disposition and preferred the companionship of husband and children above everything else. Her kindliness of heart and friendliness of manner won many friends who mourn her loss. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon and was largely attended, services being conducted by Rev. Neisser of the Baptist church. Besides her husband she is survived by six children, the youngest of whom is only five months old. Mrs. Philip Iddings Mrs. Philip Iddings died last Saturday aged 50 years at her home on Palmer Avenue and was buried Monday afternoon. She is survived by her husband and five children. Workman Crushed >p> One man was killed and another was seriously wounded in an accident which occurred at the top of the coal crusher of the Lackawanna Coal Company at Wehrum Friday. William Diehl was instantly killed and Bert Noel was probably fatally wounded. The men fell into the machinery. Diehl was crushed to a pulp but Noel was drawn out by companions not before he had been badly crushed however. The body of Diehl went clear through the cogs and wheels to the coal bins below. The remains of the dead man are being held for relatives to claim.   Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa.

Coal and Coke, Co., attended Pawnee Bill’s Wild West show last Friday. William Evans, a student of Jefferson Medical College, has returned to Patton for the summer. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Sanford entertained a number of our young people at their handsome home last Thursday evening. The occasion was in honor of Miss Shoemaker, one of our most efficient and popular teachers who, owing to impaired health, has been compelled to relinquish her duties and go home to recuperate. We hope change and rest may have the desired effect and that Miss Shoemaker will return to Patton where her conduct as a woman and as a teacher have won her so many friends, socially and in the schoolroom. Miss Nan McClain and her brother, Joe, both of Spangler, rode to Patton Sunday afternoon to visit their niece, Miss Mary Harvey Lingle. The ladies of Trinity Guild held a fair and festival on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week for the benefit of the new church. It was well patronized and the net results were extremely gratifying to all concerned. It cost nothing to get in, but bless your heart, getting out was a different proposition. The display of fancy articles was bewildering, so daintily made and artistically arranged, how the ladies did rave over them. Of course there was nothing of real utility for the men, but no one could resist making a purchase, it was simply impossible to withstand the wonderful bargains offered. We were so fortunate as to secure several articles, not that we needed them in our business nor had any idea for what they were intended. We took them only because they were very, very cheap and besides they make nice wall decorations. The cakes, candy, ice cream and other refreshments were to the “Queen’s taste,” and served in the finest style. Miss Mamie Jones has been selected to take charge of the second primary room at the public schools. Miss Jones is eminently qualified to perform the duties of her new position. Miss Nora Gales left Tuesday morning for Ebensburg to attend normal school in hopes of acquiring a block of knowledge from that institution. Among the distinguished visitors at Patton last week was that handsome, whole-souled and genial gentleman, W. C. Shiffer of Big Bend. Dr. H. G. Jones, an eminent dentist of Kylertown spent Sunday with Dr. H. W. Ferguson. W. H. Denlinger, the trolley magnate of northern Cambria has been elected a director of the new trolley line running from Corwinsville to Clearfield. Talking about trolleys, why not build a line from Ebensburg to Patton? It would give the inhabitants of your sleepy old town a chance to run down to the metropolis and see what is going on in the world. Miss Francisca Ivory, a member of the educational staff of the Hastings public schools was a visitor over Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Denlinger. The Barnum & Bailey Shows Coming! Already the public is congratulating itself upon the fact that it is to have the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth this season. The date has been positively set for Tuesday, May 18, and a great crowd as well as a great circus day are anticipated. Johnstown will be the only city in this vicinity where this greatest of all big shows will exhibit this year and naturally there is a great deal of local interest in the event. Inquiries at the ticket offices of the various transportation lines elicit information that special cheap rate tickets to the show will be on sale circus day and that large numbers of people in this locality will take advantage of the opportunity to see the big exhibition. They will go expecting to see a great performance as well as a splendid exposition of zoological and other displays and judging from the unanimous verdict in the newspapers in New York city and elsewhere they will not be disappointed. The performance is original from beginning to end. It opens with a magnificent reproduction of the “Durbar at Deihi,” the most gorgeous picture of Oriental pageantry and coloring ever attempted and closes with a series of sensational and hotly contested modern and ancient racing events. The intervening circus program is complete with startling novelties. A great company of 300 performers from all parts of the world present all that is best and most startling in aerial, acrobatic and equestrian feats, there is a congress of high-class mange riders from the principal circuses of Europe and forty clowns make the great hippodrome track resound with frequent and hilarious merriment. The comedy of the show is so interspersed through the performances as to relieve the excitement consequent upon the “thrillers” in the show. The greatest of these sensational acts are the marvelous feats of Volo, the Vollant, in riding the aerial arch and of the famous Ancillotti in turning a somersault on a wheel while looping the gap. The menagerie with its thirty elephants, the herd of four giraffes and its fifty cases of other rare animals is in itself a great exhibition. The models of Uncle Sam’s fighting ships also attract a great deal of attention. The circus engagement will be introduced with a monster free street parade. Gallitzin Commencement The commencement exercise of the Gallitzin public schools was held in the Opera House in that town on Tuesday evening. The year ended this week has been a very successful one. The graduating class is composed of fourteen members, all of whom successfully passed the examinations and were awarded diplomas. The class is composed of the following: Eleanor Bradley; Regina Brannan; Stella Cooper; Ethel Donoghue; Theresa Lenz; Hilma Nordstrom; Ruth Troxell, Georgie Weston; Mary Yeckley, Ralph Conrad, Marcellus Anstead; John Byrne, Earl MacDonald and Francis Patcho. [The rest of the article was too faded to read] Miller Unearths Crime Coroner E. L. Miller went to South Fork Monday night and continued the inquest over the death of James Williams, the young man found dead a mile north of the coal town some days ago. After hearing the testimony of a number of witnesses the jury empanelled some time ago returned a verdict that Williams came to his death from causes unknown, but that everything pointed to foul play. It is very probably that the case will be taken up by the district attorney and county detective who will investigate the young man’s death fully. From the testimony of some of the witnesses it was learned that three unknown colored men had been seen walking up the railroad tracks the night Williams met death, in the direction in which his body was found. The young man had an engagement to call on a young lady that evening, but he did not appear at her house, nor was he seen by anyone after he left South Fork. He had on his person $18 when his friends left him but only a few cents were in his pockets when his body was discovered lying in the south fork of the Conemaugh river. Back to Merry England Herbert Goodrum of Barnesboro who left that place for his native home in England last Friday evening for the benefit of his health was tendered a banquet at the Barnesboro Inn when as a token of friendship he was presented with a gold watch and chain besides a very pretty umbrella and his wife was given an emerald ring. C. J. Wood was toastmaster and speeches were made by Charles Wood, John Clipe of Patton and M. McTaggart of Barnesboro and Barney Rice of Dubois. Messrs. Whalley, Rice and McTaggart entertained the company with songs and recitations after which the company departed for their homes. Letters Issued Estate of Peter R.

It took the Johnny Bull fourteen minutes to find the turn for Lane. Another match has been arranged for Saturday evening, friends of Lane having wagered that he can stay with the champion for fifteen minutes. DEATHS Died, James McDonald, aged 55 years, Saturday morning at county home. Died, Thomas Owens, aged 53 years, Saturday morning, at home in Indiana county. Died, Alice Carney, aged 19 years, Wednesday morning at home in Munster township. Killed by a Fall of Coal John Webber, a Russian miner, in the employ of the Lingle Coal Company of Patton was caught under a fall of coal about 1 o’clock Friday afternoon and received injuries which caused his death before his companions could convey him to the mouth of the mine in which the accident occurred. It appears that Webber who was a man about fifty years of age was working in a comparatively isolated part of the mine at the time mentioned. Some fellow workmen heard the noise occasioned by the falling coal however and listening in the direction of the sound, soon came upon Webber lying half buried and apparently dead. The deceased is survived by a fourteen-year-old son who lives with his father and three daughters who are employed in Brooklyn, N. Y. Funeral services will likely be held tomorrow. Miss Carrie Lilly Williams Miss Carrie Lilly Williams died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Freeman B. Williams on Friday morning, May 6th, after a long and painful illness, aged 15 years and 7 months. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon and was largely attended. The death of Carrie cast a pall of sorrow over our entire community. She was an exceedingly bright girl and possessed many beautiful traits of character beloved by all who knew her. Although frail in body she had a happy disposition, never complaining of her own affliction but always sympathetic and solicitous of others. Carrie was a devout Christian and accepted with resignation all the suffering she was compelled to endure and with remarkable calmness and resignation awaited the coming of death’s angel, trusting in the precious promise, “I will not leave thee nor forsake thee.” To the stricken father and mother we extend our sympathy.   Cambria Freeman Ebensburg, Pa.

A bountiful lunch had been prepared for the occasion to which full justice was done. The catch of fish was not large neither were the fish. They went for trout but brought home nothing but chubs.

He charges “suspicion of blackmail” against them and both were held under bail. Davis claims to have received a letter from Pearson and another, unsigned, the letter threatening his life unless he paid the writer, $40,000. Gen. Pearson explains his part of it by saying that there is due him from the Boer government, $550,000 and that he learned Mr. Davis had 40,000 pounds in gold bullion entrusted to him by the Boers whereupon he asked from Davis payment of his claim, threatening that unless it was met he would take legal steps and demand an accounting of the 40,000 pounds. Mr. Davis asked the man to meet him in his office to discuss the matter and when they came, had the police there to arrest them. There is thought to be but little in the case and the release of the men is expected.

Harry Turner refereed the match. Parr tried all kinds of holds on Lane.

Tierney, had been lost in the wilds of Barr township. Considerable excitement prevailed for a time and Capt. Thos.

The report concerning Mr. Tierney was both cruel and false as that gentleman knows every tree in Barr township. The only thing that was lost as Mr. Tierney well remarks was some people’s judgments.

Ebensburg Pastor Speaks The eighteenth annual meeting of the Pennsylvania State Association of Congregational Churches was in session last week in Pittsburg.

The new district which the proposed church will cover is composed of all the territory north of the road leading from a point on upper Keystone avenue, Cresson, crossing the pike at Eckenrode’s store to Lilly. The church is very much needed as the Cresson members of St. Aloysius are compelled to make the trip to Summit and in bad weather this is a most disagreeable task. Will Erect Hall Local Union 472, United Mine Workers of America, of South Fork, will erect a hall which will cost $7,000.

The inn will be open for the reception of guests on June 1st, but the orchestra will not be pressed into service until it is in good playing form, probably about June 15th. Many Mines Shut Down Owing to the dullness of the coal and coke trade, the Pennsylvania Coal & Coke Company has shut down five of its operations in Cambria County for an indefinite period. Among those shut down are the mines and coke ovens at Hastings, the Beaverdale shaft on the Lloydell Branch Railroad, the Cresson Shaft and No. 1 Mine at Benscreek. The company’s mines and ovens at Gallitzin are still in operation It is said the shutting down of so many mines will be seriously felt by many families of the places named. Will Shave Payroll It has been announced in Philadelphia that orders have been issued by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the reduction of wages on its various divisions east of Pittsburg to the level of 1902. This will mean a cut of ten per cent and reduction in the working force in the Pittsburg Division alone of about 2,000. The order results from the continual stagnation of freight and is taken to mean that the company does not look for any heavy increase in either tonnage or earnings until after the Presidential dispute has been settled. The Pennsylvania lines west, it is said, will be treated likewise. The closing down of many blast furnaces and steel works last winter and the long delay in ordering steel this spring have resulted in a surprising decrease in freight carried by the Pennsylvania and the coal business has not been particularly good either. Has Killed Two Women Frank Davis Confesses that He has Twice been a Murderer Killed a Colored Girl in Jacksonville, Florida. Story Confirmed When Frank Davis, the colored murderer at present lying in the county jail under sentence of death, swings, justice will have evened up two scores. Davis has been twice a murderer by his own confession. On last Friday, Davis, whose indifference has been slowly breaking under the strain, called Deputy Sheriff Bearer to him and said that he would like to make a confession concerning his career. The colored man had been praying and reading his bible and said that the Lord had told him to tell everything. Deputy Sheriff Bearer in the presence of Warden Reynolds took down the colored man’s confession which was frequently interrupted by the sobs and tears of Davis. The condemned man prefaced his statement by saying that his real name was not Frank Davis but Willie Mungen and then went on as follows: “I was a very wicked man. I used to go with a woman down south. Me and her got into a fight one day about 12 o’clock about some money she had belonged to me, and she was a very mean woman to me and all the money I made working, I gave to her because I loved her. One evening about 4 o’clock me and her were fussing and I enticed her to go into the house where I was rooming and I overpowered her and killed her that evening by choking her to death. Her name was Susie Battles. After I killed her I got scared and took her body and put it in a fireplace in a room. At about 12 o’clock that night I took the body and buried it in a lot on an adjoining property. Then I got scared and left. This was done in Jacksonville, Fla. “Then that night I left from there and I came to Savannah, Ga. I saw my people and then I left for Newark, N. J., and about 5 or 6 months after I arrived at Newark, a colored detective came there from Savannah. He knew me and knew what I had done. That evening a little fellow came up to me at the corner where I was standing and took a hold of me and followed me to a theatre that night and paid my way into the show and I showed him where I lived and went up to the place where I was stopping. I then went down Railroad street to another boarding house [the remainder of the sentence is faded]. “Laura Taylor, the girl I was living with in Johnstown, she was the first girl I went with after this affair occurred and I first met her in Johnstown and loved her very much. Me and this girl got into some fuss and I told her that evening that I was going to quit her and she told me she would follow me to hell. This woman and me had a little fuss occasionally but it never amounted to anything. We always made it up shortly afterwards. She caused me to lose two good positions in Johnstown and after I fell out of a job and spent all my money, I didn’t care much what I would do. I made two or three attempts to kill that woman because she worried my life out after I couldn’t get away from her. She was always at the place I was working, bothering me and I fell back into friendship with her after I did so it lead to destruction. “That night she was going away she asked me if I wanted to go. I told her yes and shipped her trunk to the depot at Johnstown. But it never got any further as she was under bail and was trying to avoid the bail. Before she skipped away Ike Harris captured her. It was her intention to skip out and when she found she couldn’t she laid the whole blame on me. She said I was the cause of her being caught. So on Monday morning about 6 o’clock and after she got angry with me – I think it was on Tuesday morning – she was arranging to go to Cumberland I asked her not to go and before I suffered her to go, I got up that morning and the old razor I had in the drawer, I got it, got back in bed and tried two or three times to cut the woman. The last time I tried to cut her I was successful and I cut her and after I cut her, deputy, I got scared and drawed the same razor across my own throat two or three times. She runned out of the room after I cut her. She howled. One of the girls yelled, “Frank has killed Laura.” I went back into the room and fell across the bed and there I laid until they moved me. And, deputy, I was mean and had a bad temper and after I got to Johnstown, I tried to behave myself until I had taken up with this woman. The old lady I used to live with, Miss Ambay, she used to try to avoid me of the Frankstown road and everybody was respecting me until I got to drinking again and I thought I don’t care what happened to me and sometimes I was afraid to walk on the streets for fear the Lord would strike me down and I beg Him now to help me and ask pardon and forgiveness of every person who knows me for what I have done. “Walden Jones, who swore against me in court, I never spoke to him in my life that I know and I forgive him. And he got upon the stand and swore he saw me sharpen the knife or razor and I told him that I was going to kill Laura Taylor. I never saw that man nowhere that day for I was not out of the house that day as I stayed at home all that day, being sick from drinking. I never came down off the Frankstown road from Monday evening until Wednesday morning. He is about 65 or 70 years old and I thank God I am able to tell the truth so that everybody can know as he swore false against me, through Ike Harris. I am pretty well satisfied and thank God I have forgiven him from my heart and all who trespass against me as I hope the Lord will forgive me for all the sinful deeds that I have done. “And, thank God, I have a chance to pray, that I have prayed and He has answered my prayer. This is His will I am doing. I have given up everything on earth – father, mother, sisters and brothers, and am looking to Jesus to plead my cause.” Subsequent investigation made by the Sheriff’s office substantiated the confession. A letter was written to the chief of police at Jacksonville, Fla., and on Wednesday the following reply was received: “Yours of May 21 received and in reply I would say that Willie Mungen murdered Susie Battle in this city on June 10, 1901, and doubled up her body, placed it in a sack and buried it under a house adjoining the one in which he killed her, and he was been a fugitive from justice ever since. What you say he has told you is all true. There is no doubt you have the right man. If so, you will find one finger off one of his hands. I think it is the forefinger of the right hand. As he is sentenced to death, I suppose it is useless for me to think of getting him. But keep me posted as to the final disposition of his case. I send you a clipping from one of our papers, giving an account of the affair. Very truly yours, W. D. Vanzant” MARRIAGES Jones-Stewart Announcement has been made of the approaching marriage on June 4 of Miss Grace Jones of Portland, Me., well known in this place to Andrew Norman Stewart of Quebec.

E. Maucher Dr. J. E. Maucher died at his home in Carrolltown early Saturday morning, aged about seventy-four years. He had been in frail health for a considerable time and his death was the result of a complication of diseases. Dr. Maucher was born in Germany but came to this country when a young man and had been practicing at Carrolltown for almost a half a century. He was a highly educated physician and in the course of his practice had treated almost every old family in that section. Surviving him are two sons, Dr. J. V. Maucher and Victor Maucher, both of Carrolltown, also three daughters, Mrs. Walters of Carrolltown, Mrs. Marshall W. Riddles of Johnstown and Rose, single and at home.

Woleslagle Philip Miles Woleslagle, a former resident of Wilmore, died at 10 o’clock Saturday night at his home in Martinsburg, W. Va., aged seventy-nine years. The cause of his death was general debility. The deceased was born in Center County, but located in Wilmore when he was a boy, conducting a grist mill there for many years. The deceased is survived by his second wife, whose maiden name was Elizabeth K. Blanck, a daughter, Sarah J., wife of F. J. Pringle of Conemaugh and a son, Perry J. Woleslagle of Altoona, the latter the organizer of Company H., Fifth Regiment, National Guard of Pennsylvania. Miss Mary Ann Forsythe, a granddaughter has been making her home with the Woleslagle family since she was five weeks old, and Mrs. Clarence E. Berry of Johnstown who also made her home with the family for some years is another granddaughter. There were six children in the Woleslagle family, three of the boys and one of the daughters having preceded their father to the grave. Philip M. Woleslagle was a private in Company G., One Hundred and Forty-ninth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers during the Rebellion. He enlisted August 29th, 1862, and in December 1863, he was transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps. Perry J. Woleslagle, the only living son, also fought in the Rebellion. Another Baby Mystery The baby mysteries continue to multiply. Now comes one from Dunlo. The remains of an infant were recently found partially interred in the Catholic cemetery at that place. An Italian who is known to have buried twin children only a few days ago was placed under arrest by Squire Jackson on suspicion, but he conducted the authorities to the cemetery and showed them just where his children were buried, thus putting an end to what little case there was against him. Coroner Miller, who was notified of the affair Monday evening, told the Dunlo authorities that he would make no official investigation of the case and authorized them to have the remains buried properly at the county’s expense. The people about there are considerably worked up over the matter, however, and it is said that there will be some interesting developments within a few days. Girl Dies at Barnesboro As a result of the investigation into the death of Miss Dollie Tyger of Gypsy, Indiana County, who died in Barnesboro on Sunday, apparently from the effects of criminal malpractice, Dr. J. C. Miller of Jeannette, will be held to answer the serious charge of having performed a criminal operation and Harry Patterson of Arcadia, Indiana county, will be held as an accessory. The inquest into the death of the young lady was conducted Friday afternoon by Coroner Miller. The testimony aside from that given by the father of the dead girl, who apparently had been kept in ignorance of the girl’s condition prior to his having been notified by the doctor at Barnesboro a few days ago, was all of a professional nature, being intended to prove that the girl had died from the effects of malpractice. In the ante-mortem statement, Miss Tyger told that the operation which was responsible for her death had been performed in the office of Dr. Miller of Jeannette and that her expenses at that time and since then had been paid by Harry Patterson.
