No. 43
Mr. P. D. Nicols, of Edgeworth,
Borough died at the Allegheny General Hospital, Monday afternoon, the result of an accident
in one of the elevators in the People's Bank Building a few months
ago. Mr. Nicols was 61 years of
age and was one of the most prominent real estate men in the city.
Death was caused by a nervous
shock following an operation in
which his leg was amputated.
Mr. Nicols was a native of Ganada, but had been identified with
the real estate business in Pittsburg for many years. He was
first with the firm of M. S. Hippie
& Go., until that company was absorbed by the Union Realty Gompany. He went to the Union Real
Estate Gompany, where he remained for some time, leaving them to
go into business in his own name.
The P. D. Nicols Real Estate Gompany had offices on Fourth avenue.
About four months ago he entered
the employ of the Land Trust Gompany, although retaining his interest in the Nicols Gompany. For a
number of years he operated considerably for the Pennsylvania
Railroad Gompany. He is survived
by his widow, one sister, Mrs. A. D.
Kingsley, of Blue Earth Gity, Minn.;
two daughters, Mrs. Frederick
Way and Mrs. Percy V. Stowe,
and three sons, Messrs. Audley D.,
Verner and Lowell.
The services were held at the
family residence, 302 Caleb lane,
on Monday evening, and were conducted by Rev. R. A, Benton. He
was buried in the Sewickley Gemetery on Tuesday morning, The
pall bearers were Messrs. R. F.
Kirk, of Ganonsburg; Frederick and
John Way, III, Percy V. Stowe,
Vernon D and Lowell W. Nicols.
Mr.' Nicols was one of the directors
of the Sewickley Gemetery Gompany.
ANNIE M'PHERSON.
Annie McPherson, aged 12
years, the oldest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Glark McPherson, of
Avalon, formerly of this place, died
at the home of her parents of heart
failure. Interment took place
Tuesday in Sewickley cemetery.
Drowned in Bucket of Water.  S
The 1-year-old son of Jacob
Walters, Shoustown, was drowned
Tuesday in a pail of water. Although in the water but a moment
he was unconscious when pulled
out by his mother and could not be
resuscitated.
The pail was used in the yard
to catch the drippings from a pump.
While other children were playing
the baby crept to the pail, and,
raising itself up, lost its balance
and fell headforemost into the vessel, The mother was brought to
the scene by the cries of the other
children,
Tally-Ho Party.
Mrs. W. B. Robinson, of Logan
street, gave a very delightful tallyho party on Monday evening in
honor of Mrs. Rev. H. B. Rankin,
who left on Tuesday to spend the
summer in the East. The drive
was through the pretty sections of
our valley, and was greatly enjoyed.
Those of the party were Mrs. S. B.
Handy, Mrs. Henry Ghristman, Mrs.
B. H. Morwood, Mrs. M. Lyon,
Mrs. J. M. Stinson and daughter
Ellen, Mrs. H. B. Rankin and the
hostess. The party returned to
the home of Mrs. Robinson, where
a dainty luncheon was served.
A f.reat Crowd.
The Methodist Sunday School
picnic which was held on Friday at
Rock Point took one of the largest
crowds that has left Sewickley for
a day's outing for along time. .The
town was somewhat deserted and
the absence of the picnickers was
quite noticeable. They all had a
fine time,
Police Notes.
Doings in police circles are exceedingly quiet, and Ghief Greenawalt has hung up the drag net and
put away his book of laws, for, with
very few exceptions the town is on
its good behaviour. This is possibly owing to the warm weather and
lack of ambition on the part of
those who are inclined to become
lawless. During the early part of
the week there was a call came in
to the Ghief to have him remove a
drunk who insisted on sleeping on
the sidewalk on Ghestnut street.
The Ghief, being human, would not
think for a moment of allowing any
of his guests to occupy such an uncomfortable bed as a brick pavement, and he forthwith took his
friend to the borough bastile, where
the awful jag was worn off on the
smooth side of a soft plank bed.
The Ghief had two other guests
later in the week at his "Ice House
Annex," they each paid a fine of
one dollar and costs and departed.
On Monday night about eleven
o'clock the Humane Agent received a telephone message from Haysville requesting him to be on the
lookout for a number of teams that
were headed for Sewickley, and
have the men in charge feed the
stock, which had been traveling
since noon withoutfood, and which
the drivers intended not to feed
until they got back to the city. The
teams were stopped as they came
over the borough line and the layout resembled an industrial parade
and made a great racket. There
were seven head of horses and a
string of heavy dump wagons, each
pair of horses drawing several
wagons. The teams were not
loaded but the men were, at least
they were all comfortable and had
a good supply of wet goods with
them, After a little fussing around
the teams were unhooked and the
horses fed at Jackson's livery,
