Inquiry among the local dealers in bicyt les today failed to uncover the probable owners of the missing wheels. ture, excepting the whiskey and quinine, was recovered. The goods were loaded up and broughtt o 'Squire Corey's office in this place, and the owners notified to come and get their belongings. The thieves had handled everything with lhe utomst care and none of * them had been injured while in transit. The story of the finding of tflie goods and. In fact, the entire affair, became complicated today, when one of Mr. Smith's little girls made the statement that yesterday, when she went up into the barn lot't she found three or four bicycles stowed away under some rubbish. Her story wa* investigated today and although no bicycles were found there was plenty of evidence discovered that corroborated her story.

WEI en (HAM Edward Baker Kccjw Sucli an Establishment a Mile Above Elk Run. CORN COB CLUB DINNER "The financial situation was also discussed. It was stated that there had been collected for the support of the hospitals the sum of $4,051.33. This is a large sum of money, but is exceeded by the amount of tho bills as a short discussion of the question of expenses revealed. However, the committee is hopeful that by aid of some further contributions which are anticipated, and what will be paid In by the patients, together with the proceeds to be derived from the sale of the beds and other articles in the hospitals, it will be able to come out even, but it is going to be an exceedingly close rub. It is greatly to the credit of the good citizens of Kidgway that the emergency committee is able to present such a showing as the epidemic draws to a close. "And right here it seems a fitting time to take recognition of the splendid work done for the cause of suffering humanity by Mrs. O. B. Grant and Miss Margaret Flynn. They are •the persons who have seen to it that the money was provided and it is due to the energy and untiring zeal that they have displayed in obtaining contributions that means with which to pay bills and keep two emergency hospitals running have been secured." At a meeting of the emergency hospital committee held in Rldgway Monday, reports were received from all sources which indicate that the typhoid fever epidemic is on its last legs. The patients tire now leaving the hospitals at a gratifying rate and it was predicted that by Friday of this week two of the four hospitals would be closed. Reporting the situation further the Ridgway Record yesterday said: "It is hoped that by the end of three weeks the Center street hospital can also be closed and the committee wind up its work.

Heretofore 1 he beef company had been getting a supply of ice from the Punxsutawney Brewing Company. Contractor John Q. Adams has the walls almost completed. A driller is on the ground sinking a well which will be piped up through the cellar and which is expected to furnish an abundant supply of water to run the machineery and make the ice. The Punxsutawney Brewing company is also making1 improvements around the buildings, chief of which is a stretch of brick paving along the entire west side of the plant. WILL HAVE BIG DAM Special to The Spirit. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct 9.—One! of the most notable gatherings of men seen In Washington in a long time— men who have been officially recognized by Congress for acts jf great heroism during the clvl war, the Spanish war and at other times—assembled at the Ebbltt House today for the opening of the seventeenth annual meeting of the Medal of Honor Lesion of the United States, several hundred members attending from various parts of the country. The legion is composed of officers and enlisted men of the United States Army and navy who have been awarded medals of hon >r "for most distinguished gallantry in action" during any war in which the United State* has been engaged. Only about 2,000 such medals have been awarded among the millions of men who have faced death for their country, and at present there are but 45 8 living members of the order. HIS NAME IS O'BRIEN When Mr. Clinton gets awake next .morning he usually spits cotton for a while, but when he goes to arise, he finds one leg missing, which is usually not restored to him until just before breakfast. This scheme had been working splendidly until Monday morning. Sunday night Mr. Gutellul hud an inspiration that Clinton was due for a seance next day. As there was some important work to be done in the shop Monday morning the proprietor was especially anxious to make an early beginning and in order t«» make sure, ht» stole quietly into Clinton's apartments and unstrapped the detachable membes, Monday morning Mr. Gutelius went up bright and' early to awaken his assistant, but Clinton was nowhere t-i be found. A search revealed the fact that Clinton had been sleeping with one eye open and 'had noted the place where Mr. Gutelius had been hiding hla wooden leg. Further investigation developed the fact that Clinton had arisen early, provided himself with the desired underpinning, and when found was not in a condition to assist in the sh Dp much. During* the day Clinton developed a pugnacious disposition and on Monday night had to bo taken into custody and placed in the lockup. After spending yesterday with Warden Ferry he repented, and on a promise that he would go back to work, obtained the necessary assistance, to procure his release. Mr. Gutelius is now looking up a new hiding place for the detachable part of his assistant. Clinton has a wooden leg. He also has a certain time, usually the early morning hours, to slake his thirst. Mr. Gutelius being something of a mindreader, can usually tell the night before Clinton is due for a periodical. The rest is easy. As soon as his assistant falls asleep Mr. Gutellu glides into his room, unfastens his wooden leg and hides it. Some people are born lucky, others good locking, but there are people in Punxsutawney who maintain that H. Q. Gutellus, the carriage manufacturer, of this place, is both. That Mr. Gutelius is lucky is argued from the fact that, having an assistant. one Clinton Lytel, who has an abnormal affinity for John Barleycorn, he is able to control the movements of his employe by a most effective method.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9. — After all the talk and rumor, and then more talk, concerning the Erie Railroad entering Pittsburg on its »r*vn statements secured yesterday from financial sources givng positive assurance that the Erie is not only coming to Pittsburg but that It has already mapped out a route by which the road can tap its main and by laying a short stretc.h of track bring the great Pittsburg tonnage center to its own route to tihe seaboard. More than this, It is said that by actual mileage the route will be shorter than of the other seaboard, routes. Two significant -facts were made known yesterday concerning tihis project. One was that haste is being show-n by the Erie In "fencing" i» its proposed route; the second is that deails concerning the route in the main are so closely surrounded by secrecy t\hat those able to give the slightest Inkling* of it will not talk beyond admitting their purpose to build into the Pittsburg tonnage district.

MILTON H SUICIDE BLAMES ROOntLT The twenty-sixth annual banquet of the Corn Cob club, the oldest organization of its kind in this section, occurred last night in the Knights of Pythias hall, with but five of the total number of twlenty-five members absent. ,In the absence of the regular secretary Arthur Klock, Lon Pantall was elected secretary pro tem. and read the minutes, compiled by Mr. Klock, of the last meeting. In the compilation of the minutes the secretary upheld his reputation as a humorist and those gathered around had but few chances to catch their breath between laughing spells. President R. C. Winslow delivered his annual address, which was of a historical nature, dealing in reminiscences of the Corn Cob club. The banquet, the big feature of the evening, was as usual, far above par and the compliments which Chef Beatty received were many. All the visitors, nine in number, relieved themselves of a bit of small talk, during cigars, which dealt in great meas: ure of 'the elation which they felt in being honored with an invitation to I the doings of the exclusive Corn Cob j club. The members present were: R. C. Winslow, J. A. Weber, H. G. Bowers, Dr. J. E. Grubc, H. Reese. S. J. Hughes, J. H. Maize, W. C. Torrence, S. A. Rinn, A. B. White, W. O. Smith, J. H. Frick, Dr. W. F.

CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 9.—Detroit {'and Chicago, the American and Na! tlonal Leagues, respectively, played 12 strenuous innings to a tie here yes! terday in the first game of the series ! for the baseball championship of tho ' world The contest was replete with sensational situations and when O'Day ! of the National League called the play off on account of darkness most of the 1*4.377 spectators sighed with 1 relief and went home well satisfied i with the outcome. Overall and Donovan were the opposing pitchers, but the former was taken out when Chicago had tied tho score in the ninth Inning and had men on bases waiting to score the winning runs. Moran was sent in to bat for him. but before the latter had time to deliver the needed hit Kvers tried to steal home and was out by a parrow margin, retiring the side. Fteulbach finished the game, and for three Innings retired Detroit's heavy hitters without the semblance of a hit. The work of all the pitchers was first class, but Donovan had a shade on his rivals in that he struck out 12 of the opposing batsmen. His second base on balls was costly, but with | good support he would have won his game. The contest was watched by an Immense crowd. Close to 24.500 per- sons crowded into tho park, the en- larged stands being packed to capacity, while a thin fringe of enthusiasts occupied standing room In deep center field. Whatever ground rules may have been formulated were not in evidence as none of the 19 hits went outside of the playing space. The stands were built close *to the foul line and all around the field except in deep right field, where tho space was left open,* Captain Chance of Chicago having been fearful lest Detroit's star batsmen shou.'d drive I the ball into the seats In that section. ! As it turned out only one hit went In that direction and it fell far short of the barrier. The game was called at 2:39 o'clock, but for hours before that time long lines of would-be spectators were besieging the gates and good-naturedly struggled to be first I through the turnstile so as to secure posts <»f vantage. It was an exceedingly good-natured crowd, remarkable for its spirit of fair play and courtesy and the half hundred police had no trouble at nil In keeping It within bounds. When play started those spectators in the field seats were unable to see over the hats of the persons In front, whereupon men and women alike removed their hats and tied handkerchiefs about their ears, sitting with this slight covering through two and a naif hours of baseball and in a breeze that was at t mes chilly. The game Itself was evenly contested. Both teams broke under Are, Chicago mixing two of Its errors with two hits in the eighth Inning when Detroit scored all three of Its runs, while the visitors returned the compliment in the next inning, allowing Chicago to tie the score. Captain Cough'in's error came In this inning and was costly. With runners on first and second he let an easy grounder from Evers* bat get away from him. filling the bases. After that two runs came across, one on a passed ball. Schmidt failing to hold Howard's third strike. While this was going on Overall retired from the game and when the visitors went to bat In the extra innings they had to face Reulbach's speedy delivery in growing darkness. Moreover, the pitcher was In raro form, having good contol and against his curves and shoots such batsmen as Shaefer, Crawford and Cobb were helpless. The game was scheduled to start at 2:30 o'clock, but nearly 10 minutes were consumed while'Cobb, De- troit's rlghtflelder. was presentee! with a huge gold medal set with diamonds, as a reward for leading the American League in batting during the season just closed.

Stockholders Authorize Debt Not to Exceed $0.000,000—Some for Improvements. Elbert Hubbard, editor of the Philistine, who lays claim to saying things that make people think, is reported in tho East Aurora (N. Y.) Advertiser as making the .following remarks on good roads In particular, and Christian Science incidentally: "The convention which has been in progress at the Roycroft for the past two weeks, closed on Sunday evening with a c >ncert in tho salon of the Inn. On Friday a large number walked a mile or so into the country and listened to a talk In one of "God's first temples." Apropos of the walk, Mr. Hubbard spoke s mowhat upon the subject of good roads, and Incidentally said: *1 am not a Christian Scientist, but Mrs. Eddy, the Leader of the Christian Science movement, has not only done more good to humanity than any other person living, by abolishing fear and bringing happiness and health into thousands of lives, but also she has a fad, and that fad is good roads. Do you realize what good roads mean? They mean comfort, Joy, peace, ease to one and all. To the farmer carting his produce to the market they mean a saving of his horse, his wagon, and his temper. The pedestrian is blessed, the rider, the driver, the automobillst, the children on their way to school,—they benefit every one; and this woman has given thousands of dollars for good roads. If what she has done and is doihg is a form of delusion, then sooner we all begin to get some of these the better for us, for society at large, for mankind in general. She has abolished fear; so long as we are in bondage to fear wq are sick. She says that God is on our side, and that , therefore we have nothing to fear; , and she proves it." the meantime the Erie's plans reaching Pittsburg are by no ns sleeping. The details are beworked out carefully, and among possibilities of the project there lid to be an independent .or co- atlve action to see that Pittsburg a subway that will insure rapid lit from the business section to proposed Erie terminal near t Breeze.

Inquiry among the local dealers in bicyt les today failed to uncover the probable owners of the missing wheels. ture, excepting the whiskey and quinine, was recovered. The goods were loaded up and broughtt o 'Squire Corey's office in this place, and the owners notified to come and get their belongings. The thieves had handled everything with lhe utomst care and none of * them had been injured while in transit. The story of the finding of tflie goods and.

It was stated that there had been collected for the support of the hospitals the sum of $4,051.33. This is a large sum of money, but is exceeded by the amount of tho bills as a short discussion of the question of expenses revealed. However, the committee is hopeful that by aid of some further contributions which are anticipated, and what will be paid In by the patients, together with the proceeds to be derived from the sale of the beds and other articles in the hospitals, it will be able to come out even, but it is going to be an exceedingly close rub. It is greatly to the credit of the good citizens of Kidgway that the emergency committee is able to present such a showing as the epidemic draws to a close. "And right here it seems a fitting time to take recognition of the splendid work done for the cause of suffering humanity by Mrs. O. B. Grant and Miss Margaret Flynn. They are •the persons who have seen to it that the money was provided and it is due to the energy and untiring zeal that they have displayed in obtaining contributions that means with which to pay bills and keep two emergency hospitals running have been secured." At a meeting of the emergency hospital committee held in Rldgway Monday, reports were received from all sources which indicate that the typhoid fever epidemic is on its last legs. The patients tire now leaving the hospitals at a gratifying rate and it was predicted that by Friday of this week two of the four hospitals would be closed. Reporting the situation further the Ridgway Record yesterday said: "It is hoped that by the end of three weeks the Center street hospital can also be closed and the committee wind up its work.

WILL HAVE BIG DAM Special to The Spirit. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct 9.—One! of the most notable gatherings of men seen In Washington in a long time— men who have been officially recognized by Congress for acts jf great heroism during the clvl war, the Spanish war and at other times—assembled at the Ebbltt House today for the opening of the seventeenth annual meeting of the Medal of Honor Lesion of the United States, several hundred members attending from various parts of the country. The legion is composed of officers and enlisted men of the United States Army and navy who have been awarded medals of hon >r "for most distinguished gallantry in action" during any war in which the United State* has been engaged. Only about 2,000 such medals have been awarded among the millions of men who have faced death for their country, and at present there are but 45 8 living members of the order. HIS NAME IS O'BRIEN When Mr. Clinton gets awake next .morning he usually spits cotton for a while, but when he goes to arise, he finds one leg missing, which is usually not restored to him until just before breakfast. This scheme had been working splendidly until Monday morning. Sunday night Mr. Gutellul hud an inspiration that Clinton was due for a seance next day. As there was some important work to be done in the shop Monday morning the proprietor was especially anxious to make an early beginning and in order t«» make sure, ht» stole quietly into Clinton's apartments and unstrapped the detachable membes, Monday morning Mr. Gutelius went up bright and' early to awaken his assistant, but Clinton was nowhere t-i be found. A search revealed the fact that Clinton had been sleeping with one eye open and 'had noted the place where Mr. Gutelius had been hiding hla wooden leg. Further investigation developed the fact that Clinton had arisen early, provided himself with the desired underpinning, and when found was not in a condition to assist in the sh Dp much. During* the day Clinton developed a pugnacious disposition and on Monday night had to bo taken into custody and placed in the lockup. After spending yesterday with Warden Ferry he repented, and on a promise that he would go back to work, obtained the necessary assistance, to procure his release. Mr. Gutelius is now looking up a new hiding place for the detachable part of his assistant. Clinton has a wooden leg. He also has a certain time, usually the early morning hours, to slake his thirst. Mr. Gutelius being something of a mindreader, can usually tell the night before Clinton is due for a periodical. The rest is easy. As soon as his assistant falls asleep Mr. Gutellu glides into his room, unfastens his wooden leg and hides it. Some people are born lucky, others good locking, but there are people in Punxsutawney who maintain that H. Q. Gutellus, the carriage manufacturer, of this place, is both. That Mr. Gutelius is lucky is argued from the fact that, having an assistant. one Clinton Lytel, who has an abnormal affinity for John Barleycorn, he is able to control the movements of his employe by a most effective method.

In the compilation of the minutes the secretary upheld his reputation as a humorist and those gathered around had but few chances to catch their breath between laughing spells. President R. C. Winslow delivered his annual address, which was of a historical nature, dealing in reminiscences of the Corn Cob club. The banquet, the big feature of the evening, was as usual, far above par and the compliments which Chef Beatty received were many. All the visitors, nine in number, relieved themselves of a bit of small talk, during cigars, which dealt in great meas: ure of 'the elation which they felt in being honored with an invitation to I the doings of the exclusive Corn Cob j club.

CHICAGO, 111., Oct. 9.—Detroit {'and Chicago, the American and Na! tlonal Leagues, respectively, played 12 strenuous innings to a tie here yes! terday in the first game of the series ! for the baseball championship of tho ' world The contest was replete with sensational situations and when O'Day ! of the National League called the play off on account of darkness most of the 1*4.377 spectators sighed with 1 relief and went home well satisfied i with the outcome. Overall and Donovan were the opposing pitchers, but the former was taken out when Chicago had tied tho score in the ninth Inning and had men on bases waiting to score the winning runs. Moran was sent in to bat for him. but before the latter had time to deliver the needed hit Kvers tried to steal home and was out by a parrow margin, retiring the side. Fteulbach finished the game, and for three Innings retired Detroit's heavy hitters without the semblance of a hit. The work of all the pitchers was first class, but Donovan had a shade on his rivals in that he struck out 12 of the opposing batsmen. His second base on balls was costly, but with | good support he would have won his game. The contest was watched by an Immense crowd. Close to 24.500 per- sons crowded into tho park, the en- larged stands being packed to capacity, while a thin fringe of enthusiasts occupied standing room In deep center field. Whatever ground rules may have been formulated were not in evidence as none of the 19 hits went outside of the playing space. The stands were built close *to the foul line and all around the field except in deep right field, where tho space was left open,* Captain Chance of Chicago having been fearful lest Detroit's star batsmen shou.'d drive I the ball into the seats In that section. ! As it turned out only one hit went In that direction and it fell far short of the barrier. The game was called at 2:39 o'clock, but for hours before that time long lines of would-be spectators were besieging the gates and good-naturedly struggled to be first I through the turnstile so as to secure posts <»f vantage. It was an exceedingly good-natured crowd, remarkable for its spirit of fair play and courtesy and the half hundred police had no trouble at nil In keeping It within bounds. When play started those spectators in the field seats were unable to see over the hats of the persons In front, whereupon men and women alike removed their hats and tied handkerchiefs about their ears, sitting with this slight covering through two and a naif hours of baseball and in a breeze that was at t mes chilly. The game Itself was evenly contested. Both teams broke under Are, Chicago mixing two of Its errors with two hits in the eighth Inning when Detroit scored all three of Its runs, while the visitors returned the compliment in the next inning, allowing Chicago to tie the score. Captain Cough'in's error came In this inning and was costly. With runners on first and second he let an easy grounder from Evers* bat get away from him. filling the bases. After that two runs came across, one on a passed ball. Schmidt failing to hold Howard's third strike. While this was going on Overall retired from the game and when the visitors went to bat In the extra innings they had to face Reulbach's speedy delivery in growing darkness. Moreover, the pitcher was In raro form, having good contol and against his curves and shoots such batsmen as Shaefer, Crawford and Cobb were helpless. The game was scheduled to start at 2:30 o'clock, but nearly 10 minutes were consumed while'Cobb, De- troit's rlghtflelder. was presentee! with a huge gold medal set with diamonds, as a reward for leading the American League in batting during the season just closed.

Stockholders Authorize Debt Not to Exceed $0.000,000—Some for Improvements. Elbert Hubbard, editor of the Philistine, who lays claim to saying things that make people think, is reported in tho East Aurora (N. Y.) Advertiser as making the .following remarks on good roads In particular, and Christian Science incidentally: "The convention which has been in progress at the Roycroft for the past two weeks, closed on Sunday evening with a c >ncert in tho salon of the Inn. On Friday a large number walked a mile or so into the country and listened to a talk In one of "God's first temples." Apropos of the walk, Mr. Hubbard spoke s mowhat upon the subject of good roads, and Incidentally said: *1 am not a Christian Scientist, but Mrs. Eddy, the Leader of the Christian Science movement, has not only done more good to humanity than any other person living, by abolishing fear and bringing happiness and health into thousands of lives, but also she has a fad, and that fad is good roads. Do you realize what good roads mean? They mean comfort, Joy, peace, ease to one and all. To the farmer carting his produce to the market they mean a saving of his horse, his wagon, and his temper. The pedestrian is blessed, the rider, the driver, the automobillst, the children on their way to school,—they benefit every one; and this woman has given thousands of dollars for good roads. If what she has done and is doihg is a form of delusion, then sooner we all begin to get some of these the better for us, for society at large, for mankind in general. She has abolished fear; so long as we are in bondage to fear wq are sick. She says that God is on our side, and that , therefore we have nothing to fear; , and she proves it." the meantime the Erie's plans reaching Pittsburg are by no ns sleeping.
