J. Lewis was in Clearfield Monday attending the funeral of Mrs. E. H. Harvey who died at that place Saturday morning. We deeply sympathize with our good natured friend, H. H. Hubbard, who was so unfortunate as to break his arm while employed on the erection of the new school building. In order to pass his idle time would suggest that he take the place of W. C. at the pleasant, profitable and exciting occupation of “footer” at the ball games. Misses Grace and Belle Calhoon of Dunbar are guests at the home of their uncle, William Radcliffe, on Lang Avenue. The young ladies are apparently pleased with the scenery, the air and the young men of Patton. Miss Carrie Brown of Wormleysburg, Pa., who has been a visitor for the past few days at the residence of Rev. M. E Swartz has returned to her home. Among the many visitors at Patton last Sunday was “His Honor,” A. J. Waters and a party of friends of Ebensburg who drove down our way to see the liveliest town in all Northern Cambria.

Burgess Harper more than met his match last Friday when he attempted to arrest a disorderly individual and take him to the lock up. Harvey Lingle went to the Mayor’s assistance but that did not improve matters as the disorderly individual was too much for both of them. Matt Collar finally took pity on them and telling them to sit down and rest themselves, picked up the offender just as he would handle a keg of beer and carried him to the coup. For some cause neither His Honor nor Harvey cared to talk on the subject. Walter A. Blair of Wellsboro, a student at Bucknell University, is visiting his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James Mitchell on Mellon Avenue. Walter is a base ball player of note and assisted Patton last week in defeating the Madera team. T. N. Sheehan and Edward Little were two of our citizens who laid aside business last Tuesday and attended the Knights of Columbus picnic held at Cresson that day. Nor did they go alone for each was accompanied by his wife. Some persons were under the impression that Will Thompson had gone to Bigler camp meeting last Sunday.

Mr. Clark Tyler will occupy her cozy home on Beech Avenue. Mrs. A. J. Jackson was called to Clearfield Monday on account of her aged mother, Mrs. John Guloch, meeting with a severe accident in which she was so unfortunate as to break one of her legs. Policeman Gill has returned from St. Louis, having taken in the great show. He is glad to be back once more to peaceful and quiet Patton. The Patton-Madera ball game which took place here on Friday and Saturday of last week, were fine exhibitions of skill. Both games were taken by the locals. Loretto Gleanings Rev. Father Ferdinand Kittell, pastor of Loretto, will shortly start on an extended vacation. Rev. Kittell has spent thirty-three years in the priesthood and during the past sixteen years he has been absent from his congregation only two Sundays. He will visit the World’s Fair and other western cities and expects to be absent about one month. The bans for the marriage of Mr. Edward Roes and Miss Emma Buck were published at Loretto on Sunday.

Frank Parrish the well known Cresson druggist is seriously ill with asthma. James W. Dailey was dangerously hurt by being tramped and bruised by a vicious bull on Wednesday last. Mr. Dailey had gone to the pasture to bring home his cows when the animal, a large Jersey, which had been put in the field, unawares to Mr. Dailey, attacked him. The fact that the bull was dehorned and the ability to climb over a fence where the beast did not follow was all that saved Dailey’s life. Aside from his bruises he is not dangerously injured. In the First Degree Bellefonte, Pa., Aug. 28: Guilty of murder in the first degree was the verdict of the jury in the case of Ira Green and William Dillon on trial on the charge of killing Turnkey Jerry Condo, brought in at 9:25 o’clock this morning after the jury had been out since 2:50 o’clock yesterday afternoon.

Want another Ward Captain Thomas Davis has been busy the past few days circulating a petition asking for the division of the West ward into two wards. The petition has been signed by 95 per cent of the voters of the ward. A Fine Job The residence of F. H. Barker, on High street, has risen to the second story. It is being built of Pompeilian brick and will be a handsome structure when completed. The work is being done by contractor Wm. McClarren. The building is one of the finest jobs of masonry in this part of the State. “Uncle Bill” may be a little short on ability as a seven-up player, but as a mason, there are few that can equal him. Not a “Water Snake” The MOUNTAINEER HERALD tells of a rattler 52 inches long which was caught by Robert Varner near Vinco. Former Ebensburg Man in Peculiar Mix-Up Harrisburg, Aug. 28: The authorities here on Wednesday evening received the following dispatch from Atlantic City: “Stop girl on train, white shirtwaist, light brown hair, brown skirt, fifteen years of age, Zoe Allison, well developed for age. Look on all trains, arrest and notify Dr. T. B. Allison of Tarentum.” Harrisburg policemen searched all the trains that arrived from the East yesterday morning until word was received from Philadelphia that the girl had been apprehended in that city. It later developed that the girl had been to Atlantic City with her father, where his abuse of her compelled her to desert him and start alone for her home. This was brought out at a hearing of the father, who was arrested yesterday afternoon in Union Station, in this city, for having badly maltreated his child and flourished a revolver on the trip between Philadelphia and this city. According to the story of Conductor Harding of Philadelphia, who was in charge of the train that brought Allison to Harrisburg, the father beat and kicked the girl and behaved indecently toward her until the trainmen removed him to another car and wired ahead to Harrisburg to have officers at the station to apprehend him upon the train’s arrival. A passenger who chanced to be on the train told the conductor that he recognized Allison as a man who had addressed him on the beach at Atlantic City and had spoken insultingly concerning the girl. Allison at first denied that the girl was his daughter when he was being questioned by Alderman Landis, who conducted yesterday’s hearings at the police station, saying that was a girl he had taken to the shore for a good time. He later acknowledged that she was his daughter and the fact was also established by communicating with Allison’s wife in Tarentum by telephone. When Allison was searched a loaded revolver was found upon him and accordingly the two charges of disorderly conduct and carrying concealed deadly weapons were preferred against him. On the first charge he was sentenced to thirty days in jail or to pay a ten-dollar fine, and on the second charge his bail was fixed at $300 for appearance at court. At the hearing Allison appeared to be under the influence of some drug. Dr. Allison was formerly a well-known school teacher of Cambria County. He was originally from Indiana County where he also taught school and was regarded generally as one of the strongest educators in the western part of the State. He is a graduate of Allegheny College at Meadville and also of the West Penn Medical College and has for some years been practicing medicine at Tarentum, where he got into trouble a few years ago with some fellow members of the School Board of which he was Secretary at the time. Mr. Allison was principal of the public schools at Ebensburg for a number of years, and during the summer months, was connected with the Ebensburg Normal Institute, a school for teachers.

During the progress of the circus at Johnstown last Saturday a high wind storm threatened to blow down the canvas. The arena was filled with dust and the spectators became terrified. Had it not been for the action of one of the circus announcers who rushed about the huge tent urging everybody to remain in their places until the “loop-the-loop” had been completed, there would have been a panic. Half a dozen cows belonging to residents of Barnesboro were shot by some one in the woods north of the town a few days ago, although not seriously wounded. In about all of the cases the cattle were wounded in their udders with fine shot and have since been useless. The cows are the property of Eugene Starrett, Bert McAnulty, Job Westover, J. E. Brickley, Patrick Nash and a Slavish man. Last Friday Jonathan Plouse who lives in the neighborhood where the cows were shot found one of the cows in a dying condition, her throat being cut and the windpipe partly severed. Mr. Plouse was compelled to kill the animal to relive her sufferings. Lilly Miner Painfully Hurt Robert Law, who lives a short distance east of Lilly, met with a very painful and serious accident the other day while riding into the mine of the Lilly Coal Company, where he is employed. Law was on a car containing rails when in some way the rails tilted, the end of one of them striking him in the face, knocking out several teeth and otherwise injuring him. He was unconscious for some time. Show Man Injured at Johnstown Edward Ellis of Philadelphia, a canvasman in the employ of Forepaugh & Sells circus which exhibited at Johnstown Saturday had his left leg amputated at the hip Sunday morning at the hospital, following an accident which happened while he was trying to mount a moving section of the circus train. He fell underneath the wheels and had his limb so badly mangled that amputation was necessary to save his life. Shipped to Barnesboro in a Coffin Bartley Dormer, the nineteen-year-old son of Thomas Dormer of the Eighth ward, was hypnotized on the platform of the local Pennsylvania Railroad station between 3 and 4 o’clock this afternoon by Prof. Hermann, placed in a rough box and taken to Barnesboro, this county, where he is be buried for three days and three nights, says the Johnstown TRIBUNE of Wednesday. The hypnotist was unable to purchase a coffin and secured an ordinary size rough box instead. It was taken to the P. R. R. passenger station shortly before 3 o’clock by James Twindell of the Star Transfer Company, Dormer and two of his friends riding on the box from the Capital Hotel to the station. Prof. Hermann arrived at the station shortly after 3 o’clock and announced that he was going to put Dormer to sleep, ship him to Barnesboro by express and bury him there for three days and three nights. This announcement was overheard by Agent Keener who at once notified the hypnotist that according to the rules of the Adams Express Company, he would not ship the body without a doctor’s certificate stating the cause of death. “Very well, we’ll see about it,” was the answer of the hypnotist and he proceeded to put Dormer to sleep. After several stunts by the Eighth ward lad, such as trying to pull his arms down after being stiffened by the hypnotist and opening his mouth and then trying to shut it, Dormer was placed in the rough box and the top nailed on. As soon as Hermann had his subject asleep he walked into the Adams Express Company’s office to learn why the employee would not ship the box for him. He was told that the railroad company carried live passengers and he then started to get a ticket. Upon his arrival at the ticket office, Agent Deckert said he would sell him as many tickets to Barnesboro as he desired, but would not mark any of them “corpse” in order that he might have the rough box placed in the baggage car. “I’ll take one ticket to Barnesboro and risk the matter with the conductor of the 3:52 train,” was the professor’s reply. The ticket cost $1.42 and it was handed over without the “corpse” mark on it. Upon the arrival of the train which was on time, Prof. Hermann hunted up Conductor W. H. Watt, to whom he told his story. The conductor said if the ticket receiver of the Pittsburg division, J. H. Kirk, of Altoona was willing he would haul the box, otherwise he would have to refuse.

Plans Made for Big Time This year the Ebensburg Fair which will be held September 20, 21, 22 and 23, promises to be the banner fair of the year. The largest and most complete exhibition of the kind ever held in Cambria County. The list of attractions and exhibits will far exceed those heretofore given upon those grounds. There will be many new features added to the list of the usual county fair business and the management is working industriously to make every department attractive. The liberal premiums first offered by the association is assurance of large exhibits from the farmers and stock raisers and many entries are now being sent to the Secretary. The grounds are being improved, the race track put in first class shape and nothing will be left undone that would add to the pleasure and convenience of the patrons. The Races On the opening day there will be three good races and this is followed by a like number for the three following days. On Wednesday the 2:14 trot or pace will be a trial of speed with horses that have won honors at many of the large circuit meets throughout the country and it is likely the track record will be lowered during the race. The 2:30 class will also go that day and many good horses will be entered. For Thursday and Friday we assure you there will be no disappointment in this feature for more than twenty-five good horses will be entered upon the program. Special Features Dog and Poultry Shows – Special provisions have been made for these departments and the Fair Association has secured the services of Mr. John R. Flinn and Dr. J. W. Wirt, members of the Johnstown Poultry and Kennel Club, to personally superintend these departments. A special catalogue giving all information relative to entering and premiums has been issued and can be had by addressing the Superintendent or the Secretary at Ebensburg. “Looping the Gap,” a daring feat performed on a bicycle. Riding from a platform 100 feet high, the professor leaps through the air a distance of 25 feet, alighting upon another platform 10 feet from the ground. This is one of the newest and most marvelous performances ever given in America. The Morgan Horse Show We will have the celebrated stallions, Black Hawk and Green Mountain, together with fifteen other thoroughbreds. This exhibit at the Inter-State Fair, held recently in Johnstown, was pronounced by the papers the finest exhibit of horses ever given in the city. It will be a horse show worth seeing and each day at noon, those beautiful and spirited animals will head the cavalcade in review from the grand stand. Between the Heats The management has arranged that every minute of your time shall be taken up and between the heats of the races, facing the grand stand, there will be free performances during the afternoon. Among these will be included acrobatic feats, fancy and difficult rifle shooting, trained dogs and horse performances, the funny greased pig contest, the goat race and music by visiting bands. On the Grounds A gun club contest between fifteen members of three Cambria county clubs will be an exhibition of clay pigeon shooting of interest to many sports. A game of football between the two strongest teams in Cambria county and a 200-yard foot race open to all are attractions that have been arranged for, but the dates for these contests will be given later. The Electric Theatre, vaudeville show, merry-go-round and a host of other places of amusement will be opened upon the grounds. Arrangements have been made with the P. R. R. for excursion tickets upon the days of the fair and the admission prices to the grounds will be: Adults, 25 cents; children, 15 cents; team, single and double, 25 cents. Premium List – Ebensburg Fair Special Premiums The special attention of Farmers and others is called to the LIBERAL PREMIUMS offered under the heading of “Special Premiums. It is the belief of the management of the Fair Association that these will repay any person having Butter, Pumpkins, Grain or Potatoes for the effort they make in selecting the best specimens of each for Exhibition at the Fair. It is rarely that such liberal premiums are offered for these products. Select your best products and bring them to the Fair. Liberal Premiums offered for all other products. Relic Department The Relic Department was at one time a credible adjunct to the Fair but through lack of interest it has steadily declined. There is enough material in Ebensburg and vicinity to make a First Class Relic Department and we want you to help us make this a feature of the fair. If you have any old relic, we want you to place in on exhibition. Watchmen will be in the building night and day and we assure you of its absolute safety. Greased Pig Contest Wednesday…………September 21 Entrance Fee, 50 cents The person catching the pig will be awarded the pig or $10 by the Association.

Wreck at Gallitzin Gallitzin, Sept. 7: The crash of a train of freight cars over the embankment west of Kittanning Point at 10:30 o’clock tonight resulted in the death of two men and the injury of four or five more. A score of railroad cars were converted into kindling wood. The dead are: Engineer William Boardman of Pitcairn. A brakeman, name unknown. The Injured: S. H. Cunningham, conductor, seriously William H.

He was a pattern maker for the Harbison-Walker Company and had gone into the dry house to look at some lumber. He walked between two very high piles and the jarring of the floor of his tread threw them together, burying him out of sight and inflicting injuries which must have been almost if not instantly fatal. The accident occurred at noon Friday but his body was not found until Saturday afternoon. The deceased was forty-one years of age. He resided at Barnesboro for several years and worked as a carpenter for contractor J. D. Ritter. He was married to Miss Ruth Willets, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Willets of Barnesboro who, with three children survive him.

Bogan of Seldom Seen, a mining hamlet about 1 1/4 miles from this place is in a critical condition at her home tonight as the result of the boldest and most heinous crime that has ever been committed in this section, and an unknown negro, who assaulted her, is being hunted for by the populace of the entire vicinity. The crime committed in broad daylight took place at 8 o’clock this morning and for three hours the helpless woman was held a prisoner in the woods by the negro fiend, who terrified her with a loaded revolver and wrecked his will on his unwilling victim. Mrs. Bogan was walking along the railroad tracks at the above hour when she was accosted by a negro whom she described as being about twenty-three or twenty-four years old and rather small. The negro, who was an entire stranger, placed a revolver at the woman’s head and forced her to precede him into the woods that bordered the track but a short distance away. For three hours Mrs. Bogan was held a prisoner at the mercy of the brute. The struggle that must have taken place in the woods is indicated by the fact that when Mrs. Bogan finally escaped and made her way toward her home at Seldom Seen, her clothing was all practically torn off and she was in a state of nervous collapse besides suffering from the injuries inflicted by her captor. The negro, having taken his victim into the woods, repeatedly assaulted her and kept her under his power until 11 o’clock. He then started away, leaving the helpless woman lying in the woods. She struggled out to the track and then made her way toward her home. On meeting some other residents of Seldom Seen she related as well as she could what had happened and they immediately took charge of her, conveying her to her home where medical attention was given her. Posses were organized to hunt down the negro and took up their task with avidity. Mrs. Bogan was unable to give much of a description of the man, save what is mentioned above. The negro, however, had succeeded in getting away without leaving any clue by which he could be traced. The searchers are entirely at sea as to the direction taken by the criminal and the only thing they could do was to make a search of all the surrounding country which is being done. Threats of lynching the fellow if he is caught are being freely made. The audacity of the crime can hardly be realized. During the three hours the negro held her in the woods, persons passed close to the place but knew nothing of what was transpiring almost under their very eyes. Mrs. Bogan’s condition tonight is extremely critical, the nervous shock she sustained in addition to her injuries make her recovery a matter of some question. The whole neighborhood is aroused over the outrage and so much excitement has not been known here for years. No effort will be spared to capture the negro. Sheriff Lenhart is expected here in the morning, along with County Detective Knee, and a systematic hunt for the man will then be organized. Held for Court Jas. E. Noel of Clearfield township was arrested recently on information made by Martin Thomas, charging him with threats, surety of the peace and interfering with an officer. Thomas, who is a supervisor in Clearfield township, alleged that while he was widening a road Noel appeared, flourished a revolver and threatened him bodily harm, unless he desisted in the work he was engaged in. Noel waived a hearing before Justice of the Peace Boone and was bound over to court on $500 bail. W. H. Sandford became his surety. Sixty Men to Remain The officials of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company have notified their Vintondale superintendent to place 60 men at Wehrum and keep them employed there during the winter. They will be given work in the coal washer, lumber and railroad yards and company store. These man and their families are to reside in the company houses in Wehrum while the men who secured work at Vintondale and who now live at Wehrum may continue there. The drift mines at Vintondale will be operated much more extensively than ever and the newcomers taken on there have been told to reside in Wehrum which is but three miles away. The Indiana men interested in the Wehrum National Bank says the Indiana GAZETTE realize that for a time at least the town is almost dead as a business center and that its former industries may never be resumed, owing to the great expense of mining the coal from the shafts 200 feet deep. Despite the heavy run on the bank of last week when the shut down was announced the bank was prepared and is now in good shape financially. With a view of planning for the future, the directors of the bank held a meeting in Wehrum last Friday and decided to continue business for the present. Its future will be decided upon at a directors meeting on October 18. The directors meeting on Friday was attended by John A. Scott and D. L. Moorehead of Indiana and William P. Cochran and Christ G. Brixner of Wehrum. Charles Cunningham of Indiana is the cashier. Fair Scores a Great Hit All roads lead to Ebensburg this week and over every road came many people for this is the week of our long-to-be-remembered fair. It was the real article, this fair of ours. Not one-cow-and-a-pumpkin attraction such as other towns give but an agricultural exhibit, a race meet, a carnival, a dog and poultry show and a slice of Coney Island all merged into one attraction. Every event was a real attraction and everything advertised was given – a fact unparalleled in the annals of Cambria County fairs. On Tuesday there was little doing aside from the race program. The exhibits were not all placed, the people holding privileges had not opened up. The races pulled off resulted as follows: 2:20 Pace – Purse $200 Bankwood: 3, 4, 5 Little George: 5, 5, 2 Joe Hontes: 4, 6, 6, Stella S.: 1, 1, 1 Hartford: 2, 2, 2 Alice W.: 5, 3, 4 Times: 2:20 1/8 2:20 1/4 2:20 1/2 Road Race Armour: 4, 4, 4, 2 Burglar: 1, 2, 3, 2 Dock: 3, 3, 2, 4 Ruben: 2, 1, 1, 1 In this race, Cambridge Boy owned by Jos. Shoemaker was barred and Ruben, owned by M. H. Sipe, raced under protest. On Wednesday things became lively. The races were as good as they have ‘em. The barkers in front of the shows loosened up, the pool sellers added their cry to the din, while the call of the “are you ready” mingled in the general chorus. Three bands were in attendance, two from Barnesboro and our own fine aggregation. In the morning Patton and Carrolltown played ball and Carrolltown was licked. The races resulted as follows: 2:14 Pace – Purse $300 Lady Rodman: 1, 1, 2, 4, 2 Burglar: 1, 2, 2, 3, 2 Pure Gold: 3, 4, 5, 3, 4 Vastine: 4, 2, 3, 2, 3 Oscar: 4, 4, 1, 1, 1 Time: 2:16 1/4 2:16 1/2 2:16 1/4 2:15 1/2 2:18 1/4 2:40 Pace - Purse $200 Pat: 3, 2, 2, 4 Ester Lil: 2, 1, 1, 1 Stella V: 1, 4, 3, 2 Chimes Pointer: 4, 3, 4, 2 Time: 2:27 1/4 2:25 1/4 2:28 1/2 2:32 In this race Allie Moore, owned by John Pender of Johnstown was distanced. In the 2:15 pace, the track record of 2:17 held by Fannie Stubbins was smashed almost every heat.

Howard Evans in Charge Howard Evans who is well known in town has been here all week attending the fair. He has had charge of the live stock department. Took Patient to Dixmont Constable James C. Herzog on Saturday took to Dixmont, Mrs. Frank Steigant, the Austrian woman of South Fork, who became insane while visiting her sister in Cambria City.

After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride. The happy couple drove to Gallitzin where they took a train for Derry and will remain there several days. Before returning Mr. and Mrs. Dever will visit Niagara Falls. Their many friends wish he and his bride prosperity and happiness. Miles-Petrie That handsome little fellow, B. R. Miles, the efficient stenographer in the B. C. C. & C. Co. office, very much surprised the natives by landing in town one day last week accompanied by a charming young lady, whom he introduced as his wife. Upon inquiry we learn he was married at Ridgeway on September 9th to Miss Margaret Petrie of Kane. The happy pair have gone to housekeeping in Forsburg’s block. There are others employed in that building who might profit by the example of Mr. Miles and go and do likewise.

Albert Thomas and Louie Doll did some fine detection work in searching for the assailant of Mrs. Bogan. For several nights they scoured the country in this vicinity and on two or three occasions were close upon his trail. It would have been all up with Mr. Nigger had they got within ten miles of him, for they were armed with all manner of rapid firing and long distance shooting irons. Albert Rumberger is taking a much needed rest from business cares by visiting his parents in Center county. E. Will Green returned Saturday night from a tour of New York. During his absence he was at Elmira, Watkins Glen and other points in the Empire State.

Joe Cole is the fortunate possessor of a new automobile which takes him spinning through our streets at a lively gait. When Mr. Sig. Sautelelle and his big circus arrives in town next Wednesday he will discover that arrangements have been made to prevent the operation of any of his gambling schemes. Patton will not stand for any crooked business neither will it wait till after the show has gone, but will have private detectives right on the ground. Our townsman, W. H.

This is an important assemblage of telephone directors as it embraces seventy-six different corporations interested in the “hello” business. Geo. S. Good and son, Ralph, arrived in Patton Monday evening having come from Lock Haven in their new automobile. Mr. Good has taken a great liking for the machine, as it is almost as pleasant as and somewhat faster than walking. Some men are born great; some achieve greatness, while others have greatness thrust upon them. To the latter class belongs our Irish friend, Patrick A. Youngquest who has had the distinguished honor of being elected Vice President of the New York Life Insurance company $200,000 club. Now, Patsy, make a strike for President. J. J. Donnelly is improving the appearance of the Bon Ton Building by having it brightened up with a coat of fresh paint. Vinco Notes Vinco, Pa. Sept. 26: There was a bad upset in this place last Thursday morning when three couples of Johnstown people were on their way to the Ebensburg fair, “and for some reason, unknown to the writer,” their horses ran off. The couple in the rear seat jumped off and escaped with a few bruises, while those that remained experienced something they will not forget soon. The horses turned in front of the post office to go up a cross street and carriage upset, throwing the occupants out. Dr. J. E. Wakefield was summoned and dressed their wounds, some of which were bad. Just shortly before this accident, Mr. Stumbaugh of Johnstown drove through here also on his way to the fair. When a short distance from town his horse broke both his hind legs. The horse was walking and there could not be a smoother piece of road made than the one he was traveling and the injury is therefore all the more curious. The Pike Sunday school pupils held their annual picnic, Saturday, Sept. 17. There were about 700 people present – probably the largest crowd that ever attended a Sunday school celebration in Jackson township. The Nantyglo band was there and rendered some excellent music. The Rev. J. L. Bowman and wife of Berlin, Pa., spent several days visiting friends here last week. Cambria County Notes Mrs. Anna McCann, aged 78 years, fell down the cellar steps of her home in Johnstown Sunday evening and fractured both bones of the left leg below the knee. Nicholas Dieblo, aged 10 years, of Johnstown, and Edward Wissel, aged 15, of Cambria City, are two victims of accidents incident to chestnut hunting. Each fell from a tree and broke an arm. Rev. Father Philip Bohan, pastor of St. Patrick’s Parish, Moxham, announced to his congregation Sunday that the corner stone of the new church will be laid Sunday, October 15. Bishop Garvey will perform the ceremony and preach the sermon. Miss Gussie Gaus, an employee in Kline’s store in Johnstown, attended a party the other evening. In attempting to pass upstairs to lay aside her wraps, she opened a door leading to the basement and before she could check herself, fell down stairs, fracturing her left collar bone. The Sonman shaft is still idle on account of a break in the pumping machinery. The water is being hoisted out with buckets but little headway is made as the water accumulates as fast as it can be taken out in that manner. The company has got a large pump on the ground and will place it as soon as it can get the water out sufficiently to enable it to rest on the bottom. About 150 men are idled and it is thought that it will be some time before work can be resumed. Taken to Reformatory Four boys, John Lafoh, Will Axmacker, Jno. Ettler and George Rose were taken to the State Reformatory at Huntingdon on Saturday. Cutting Near Pindleton John Otto, a well-known lumberman about 50 years of age who for several years has had a mill and been engaged at cutting out his tract of timber near Pindleton in Blacklick township, was brought to Ebensburg by Constable Humphreys Wednesday morning, charged with attempting to take the life of George Herman, aged about 26 years who is lying very low at the lumber camp as a result of wounds alleged to have been inflicted by a knife in the hands of Otto Tuesday night. On the right side of the neck is a cut 3 1/2 inches in length. On the other side is a two-inch stab, across the back of the neck is another serious gash, while one of Herman’s hands and his breast are badly cut and slashed. John M. Morrow of Pittsburg who was at the lumber camp at the time on business at once went to Nantyglo about three miles distant for a physician who dressed the man’s wounds and pronounced him in a critical condition. When Otto was brought before Esq. Waters Wednesday morning he stated that the act was done in self-defense and that several of the men from his camp had followed him about and threatened him in Ebensburg Tuesday. The squire demanded bail for court. Capt. Thomas Davis went on the bond and Otto was released. Dynamiting Outrage Possum Glory, Sept. 26: Last evening about 11:30 o’clock a heavy charge of dynamite was touched off under the commissary building of the Sims Contracting Company, blowing up two men and reducing the structure to kindling wood. On man, Dominico Constantine about fifty-four years of age was so baldy injured and burned that he will die. Gaetano Buscano miraculously escaped with a few scratches and bruises. This morning another charge of dynamite was found under one of the other buildings of the contracting company, done up in a red handkerchief. This occurrence is supposed to be the result of a feud between the Italians working for the commissary department of the Sims Contracting Company and a number of Italians employed by Possum Glory Coal and Coke Company. Five Italians who have been heard to make threats to blow these fellows beyond the limits of sight were arrested and taken to the Indiana jail. The names of the men as kept on the payroll of the Possum Glory Coal Company are Dominico Aquilio, Guiseppe Lapiana, Paulo Cosone, Michael Canna, Binsimo Cosone. In the preliminary examination of the men, one Italian, by one set of witnesses, was playing cards all night and by other testimony, was at work all night. Whether that will prove an alibi remains to be seen. Possum Glory is a new coal town located on the Yellow Creek extension of the new road, running from Vintondale and is about sixteen miles east of Indiana and perhaps twelve miles west and south of Barnesboro. Except for the employees of the contractors constructing the grades for the new road, nearly all the men of this vicinity are miners in the employ of the coal and coke company. The men who were arrested were formerly employed by the Sims Contracting Company and it is likely that the feud between the men had its origin at that time. Negro Held Monongahela, Sept. 28: A negro answering the description of the man who assaulted Mrs. Thomas Bogan last week near Patton, Cambria County, for whom an armed body of men had been looking ever since, was arrested here today by Chief Logan. He will be held until the authorities at Johnstown arrive to identify him. Wounded Lad Recovers It is likely that Charles Fellows, who was shot by his father at Barnesboro some time ago, will be discharged from the Memorial Hospital within a day or so. He is recovering rapidly. The lad will be taken care of by friends in Barnesboro for some time. Notes of the Fair The horse show feature of the Fair was the best that has ever been seen in Ebensburg, both as to quality and the number of horses entered in the exhibition class. Under the management of the Keystone Morgan Horse Company of Dilltown, Pa., twenty-one head of royally-bred and beautiful Morgan horses were shown as a class which was a leading feature of the horse exhibit. Three of this number were entered by Wm. Davis, Esq., of Ebensburg, and included his beautiful little road mare, Maud, and double team, Matty and Sue Lamberd. Black Bess, a Morgan mare of exceptionally fine qualities as a roadster and family horse was entered by Mr. Timothy Jones, also of this place. Mr. A. L. D. Poling of South Fork exhibited his well-known Morgan stallion, Black Hawk, to the delight of all who saw this proud son of an illustrious sire, Denning Allen, who took first prize premium in the Morgan class at the World’s Columbian Exhibition at Chicago in 1892. District Attorney Stephens and his brother, John H. Stephens, Esq., who compose the Keystone Morgan Horse Company, headed their list of Morgan horses with the premium stallion, Green Mountain Morgan. Green Mountain Morgan (Stephens), a chestnut colored horse of rare beauty and perfect action, is the show horse of the finest quality and admired by all who saw him. This stallion was bred by E. D. Hinds of Pittsford, Vermont, and was sired by the famous old show horse, Ashley’s Ethan. Three of the brood mares exhibited by the Keystone Morgan Horse Company were also sired by Ashley’s Ethan Allen, Zonobia Hinds; one Chaise brood mare exhibited with the others mentioned was sired by Young Ethan, a full brother in blood to Daniel Lambert No. 102 and her dame was a daughter of Daniel Lambert, No. 102. There were also other animals in the list which are equally as well bred in the Morgan bloodlines and no less elegant in appearance and general show qualities, but are more of the Cob type being lineal descendants of old Justice Morgan through the Woodbury Morgan family. The opportunity afforded the citizens of this community by the Ebensburg Fair Association of seeing in the grand cavalcade this band of perfectly formed and high acting light-harness horses will long be remembered by those whose pleasure it was to witness the same. The truth of the old adage “as beautiful as a Morgan” was fully demonstrated by the enthusiastic greeting with which these equine beauties were received by thousands of appreciative spectators present as each animal, accompanied by a groom wearing a white coat and cap, passed in review before the grand stand. Space will not permit a further detailed description of the many attractive and elegant animals shown in the Morgan class. These horses were selected with great care from the best stock of the old-time Morgan horse to be found in his native state, Vermont, and it is the object as stated by one of the owners by judicious breeding, to aid in intensifying and perpetrating the blood of the greatest road horse, the world has ever produced – the Morgan.

Kittell, a well-known Ebensburger, while walking through the streets of Pittsburg near the corner of Second avenue and Grant streets, on Monday last, fell to the pavement as the result of an attack of heart disease and before aid could reach him, expired where he fell. Mr. Kittell was a son of the late well-known attorney, William Kittell and Mrs. Margaret Kittell of Ebensburg and was born in this place on the 20th of November, 1852. Early in life Mr. Kittell became assistant cashier in the bank of William Lloyd & Son in Ebensburg which position he filled with ability during the existence of the bank. Later he was made cashier of the Bank of E. Roberts & Sons of Ebensburg and likewise held this position for some years and by his close attention to business, his honesty and readiness to accommodate the patrons of the bank, Mr. Kittell gained the respect and good will of the entire community. While he was thus engaged as cashier in the Roberts bank, the railroad contracting firm of Collins Bros. was organized and recognizing Mr. Kittell’s ability as a bookkeeper and accountant, Collins Bros. secured his services and made him their chief book keeper. Although the position required the services of an expert to fill it satisfactorily Mr. Kittell acquitted himself to the satisfaction of his employers and added to his list of friends a host of people whose respect he never ceased to commend. About 1895 the firm of Collins Bros. owing to the death of Philip Collins, one of the members of the firm, was reorganized under the name of Clement & Co., and Mr. Kittell was retained by the new company in his old position which he held until less than a year ago when Mr. Thomas Shoemaker, one of the stockholders of Clement & Co., retired from the firm and went to the contacting business on a large scale for himself. Mr. Kittell chose to go with Mr. Shoemaker and was attending to business for Mr. Shoemaker when the cold hand of death was laid upon him and he passed into eternity. For a few days previous to his death, Mr. Kittell complained somewhat of a pain in the region of his heart and had intended to consult a physician concerning his condition on the day he was prostrated. After falling to the pavement his remains were removed to the morgue in Pittsburg to await identification. His name was first established by means of railroad passes and letters found in his pocket. A newspaper reporter who chanced along knew of Father Wm. Kittell, brother of the deceased and chancellor of the Pittsburg diocese of the Catholic Church, and immediately telephoned to that clergyman. Upon his arrival at the morgue, Father Kittell, not having seen his brother for some years was a trifle uncertain as to his identity until Mr. John A. Schwab of Loretto who had heard of the fatally came to the morgue and identified the dead man as Edward B. Kittell of Ebensburg. The remains of the deceased were brought to Ebensburg on Tuesday afternoon on the 3:20 train and taken to the residence of Mrs. Maude Collins, his sister. Besides the brother and sister above named, the deceased is survived by two other brothers, Rev. Ferdinand Kittell, pastor of St. Michael’s church of Loretto, and Attorney M. D. Kittell of Ebensburg and two sisters, Sister Bernadine, Mother Superior of the Sisters of Mercy at Webster Avenue Convent, Pittsburg and Mrs. Margaret Henry of Williamsport, Pa. Two brothers, James Alfred and Francis B. Kittell preceded him to the grave some years ago. The funeral took place Thursday morning at 9 o’clock and after solemn high mass of requiem his remains were laid to rest in the cemetery adjoining the church. The following clergymen were present at the service: Rev. William Kittell, celebrant of Cathedral, Pittsburg; Martin Ryan, deacon of St. Bridget’s church, Pittsburg; J. J. Ludden, sub-deacon of St. Thomas’ church, Ashville; P. Fox, master of ceremonies, Church of the Holy Name, Ebensburg; Henry McHugh of St. Agnes Church, Soho, Pittsburg; John Boyle of St. John’s church, Johnstown; Wm. Graham of St. Patrick’s Church, Pittsburg; Francis O’Donnell of St. John’s church, Johnstown; Wm. Dwyer of St. Francis College, Loretto. Pall Bearers James McClune, Spangler; John A. Schwab, Loretto; Thomas A. Sharbaugh, Carrolltown; J. B. Denny, H. H. Myers, A. W. Buck, Fergus C. Lloyd, E. C. Parrish, D. A. McGough, H. A. Englehart, John C. Farren, Robert Scanlan of Ebensburg. Mrs. Lizzie E. Shoemaker Mrs. Lizzie E. Shoemaker died at her home in Gallitzin at 1:30 o’clock Tuesday morning of pleurisy. She is survived by her husband, Simon Shoemaker, and two sons, Alvin and Roy and one sister, Mrs. Ella J. Jones of Altoona; also one brother, Martin Gardner of Latrobe. The deceased was born in Carlisle, August 30, 1857. She was married in Altoona in 1882. The funeral took place at 10 o’clock Thursday morning.
