The Concert Was
a Grand Success.
Sewickley Troop Band Was Favored by Fine Weather and
a Large Crowd.
WILL   BUY    NEW   INSTRUMENTS.
On last Friday evening, when the
Sewickley Troop Band gave its
-concert and lawn fete Association
Park presented a unique appearance with its illuminated. Japanese
lanterns and booths, and the large
crowd of people present shows that
the organization has won a warm
place in the hearts of our citizens.
The attractions were—first, the
concert, then the "coon head,"
where you got three chances for a
nickel to crack the black cocoanut;
a fishing pond, presided over by
several young ladies, and all the
fish from the pond were not 'suckers." Then a cake booth and a
lemonade and peanut stand. The
ice cream was dished up at several
long rows of tables, and the numerous attendants at these worked like
torjans to supply the demand.
Mrs. E. B. Gray and Mr. B. C.
Brown had charge of the affair and
they were ably assisted in their
efforts.
The concert and lawn fete was a
grand success both socially and
financially. The boys cleared
$235,85, whiphwillgo toward buying a new set of instruments for
the entire band.
The music rendered during the
evening was away above the average, and Mr. White is entitled to
great credit for the manner in
which he handles his musicians.
Mr. Thomas Gray's solo won words
of commendation.
The entertainment committee
trough its chairman, Mr. G. R.
McDonald, wish to thank the
Public, and all those who in any
way contributed to the success of
their entertainment.

THE COON CLUB.
Arrangements Being Made by this
Popular Social Club for Their
Annual Outing.
The preliminary arrangements
are being made for the annual outing of the Coon Club. These occasions are always looked forward to
by the members of this organization and this year's camp is
scheduled to exceed all former
ones. Messrs. Albert Merz, George
Ghristman, Wm, H. Emmert, Ghas.
Schlumpf, George Brooks, Frank
Elkins, Joe Lounsberry, I. J. Feltwell. K, L. McPherson, John Sharpe,
Harry McPherson, Geo. Hegner,
Jr., and Ghas. Borem, took a trip
last Sunday morning in one of H.
S. Jackson's four-in-hands, which
was driven by Mr. Joe Jackson, to
Frankfort, to make arrangements
for the reception of the campers.
The camp will open the first Saturday in October.   '
Kicked by a Horse.
An employee of Mr. W. D. Henry's Irvington Stock Farm, whose
name could not be learned, was severely kicked on the leg by a horse
last Tuesday morning. He was
conveyed to the station in Mr. W.
H. Shepard's ambulance, and taken
from thence to the Allegheny General Hospital.
An Instructive Talk.
The term "lecture" does not apply to Prof. Fairlamb,s discourse
on Monday evening at St. Stephen's
parish house, for a lecture usually
means the formal conveying of information and instruction to listeners whose sense of duty is uppermost. But Mr. Fairlamb imparted
valuable facts as to Switzerland in
such a way as to admirably sugar-
coat the pill of instruction with the
charm of decided attractiveness so
that the audience was deeply interested as v/ell as taught. His
"A Home in Holland" was a touching tribute to life in a Leyden
home. The speaker invested his
talk with touches of humor, and
the pleasure of listening was increased by the speakers clear
enunciation. At the end of the
talk, and on motion of the Rev.
Mr. Benton, a unanimous vote of
thanks was tendered Mr. Fairlamb.
New School Building.
The new public school building in
Aleppo township will be completed
in about two weeks. School will
commence Tuesday September 5.
The building is a large frame one-,
agd the work is being done by Contractor John Fetter.
A LIVELY BLAZE.
Grubbs Property on Beaver Street
Considerably Damaged.
KNOWN AS THE RUSSELL HOUSE.
Last Monday morning at 4 o'clock
fire broke out in the Russell House,
on Beaver street, and destroyed
the entire frame annex. For a time
it looked like a serious conflagration, but the firemen succeeded in
confining the blaze to the frame
section and saved the main portion
of the building, which is of brick.
It was a hazard for surrounding
property, which only escaped the
blaze owing to the fact that it was
a calm morning, there being no
breeze at all.
The damage to the building will
reach several thousand dollars, but
the owner carries insurance to meet
the amount.
The loss sustained by the proprietor and guests is not heavy.
The origin of the fire is not definitely known, but is supposed to
have been caused by a gas jet in
one of the upper rooms. It is for-
tudate that all the guests escaped
from the building, as the fire spread
rapidly.
Mr. Grubbs has not decided concerning the rebuilding of the house.
Card of Thanks.
Mr. and Mrs. William Bauman,
and Miss Amelia Gross, wish to
thank the many friends and neighbors who extended their help and
sympathy in their recent bereavement. They especially desire to
thank the members of the choir,
who so kindly offered their services.
Marriage License.
A marriage license has been issued to Mr. George Sturgiss, of
this place, and Miss Margaret Bren-
nen, of Shields.
