MOUNT PLEASANT, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1907.
A B. & 0. TRAIN
WRECKED NEAR
INDIAN .CREEK
Killing the Engineer and In-juring
Many Others.
ACCIDENT SIMILAR IN CHARACTER
TO THAT OFTHEPENNSYLVANIA
SPECIAL AT MINERAL POINT.
The Only Difference Was That This
Derailed Train Shot Into the Moun-tain
Side Instead of Going Over the
Embankment and Down Into the
River. Wylie E. Irwin, the Dead
Engine Driver who was Slowly
Roasted to Death, was a Son of the
Late James Irwin and a Mount
Pleasant Boy.
One person was killed, nine others in-jured
and more than a score, including
General Superintendent Robert Finney,
of the Pittsburg division, narrowly es-caped
death in the wreck and destruc-tion
by fire of westhound Pittsburg ac-commodation
train No, 49 on the Balti
more & Ohio Railroad four miles east of
Connellsville at 6:50 o'clock last Thurs-day
evening. The whole train, includ-ing
Mr. Finney's private car, was de-stroyed
by fire, which broke out imme-diately
after the enginevleft the track
and crashed into the side of the moun-tain.
Like that of the late wreck of the
Pennsylvania Special at Mineral Point,
this accident is said to have been caused
by some of the machinery of the engine
becoming loose and falling to the track,
only in this case the engine headed for
the mountain side instead of the Yough
river.
Wylie E. Irwin, aged 39 years, of Glen
wood, the engineer, was killed. T. D.
Fredrick, fireman, and P. R. Hurton,
baggagemaster, both of Hazelwood; J. M.
Smith, express messenger, and C. A.
Shipley, of Charleroi, were badly hurt,
while a number of the other 38 passen
gers were slightly injured.
Before order could be restored among
the passengers a sheet of flame shot up
from the combination baggage and ex-press
car, which had been wrecked by
the engine tender, and the danger of be-ing
burned to death added to the horror
of the struggling men and women. The
railroad officials rushed forward from
the private car and, assisted by the un-injured
trainmen, cleared the other cars
of passengers, carrying the injured to
places of safety just in time to save
them from the flames which seized the
whole train.
When the engine struck the side of
the mountain Engineer Irwin was thrown
from the cab and buried under the
wreckage. The force of the collision had
wrecked the firebox, and when other
trainmen hurried forward, hoping t(f
lend assistance to the engine crew, they
found Irwin’s head and shoulders pro-truding
from a mass of burning coals.
He was slowly burned to death while
trainmen and passengers stood by pow-erless
to liberate him from the mass of
tangled iron and wood which pinned
him down.
The dead engineer, who leaves a wife
and six children, was a Mount Pleasant
boy, a son of the late James Irwin who
moved from here with his wife and
family some twenty years ago to Mc-
Keesport where he afterwards died sud-denly
of heart trouble.
FRIGHTFULLY SCALDED.

and M. F. Bush, fireman, who were

Pastor’s Birthday Bemembered.
Saturday was the birthday of Rev.
George W. Carter, the new pastor of the
Second Baptist church, and his people
gave a reception in his honor. The ad-dress
was made by Rev. J. M. Wheeler,
of the A. M. E. Zion church, while
music was rendered by a colored club
from Uniontown. Special credit is due
Samuel Coy and John Irwin and their
wives for the $20.26 purse which was
presented to Rev. Carter.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
Local Board of Education Takes Steps Look-ing
to Its Erection.
The Mount Pleasant Board of Educa-tion,
at its regular monthly meeting held
Monday evening, took steps looking to
the erection this summer of a new high
school building, made necessary by the
crowded condition of the schools. No
location was decided upon nor will any
be chosen until the members of the
board get in touch with the wished of
the people. The Second ward would be
the most convenient, while the Church
street playgrounds would be the most
advantageous from a financial stand-point.
The board has the ground there
and, with a single steam plant, could
heat the new as well as present building,
saving the $400 or $500 a year in janitor
fees that would have to be incurred were
the new high school located elsewhere.
The only other business transacted
was the payment of February bills and
the acceptance of Miss Lindsay's resig-nation
as a preliminary high school
teacher. Carl Millward will fill the va-cancy
for the present.

Captain James A. Loar; vice comman-der,
John G. Thompson; adjutant, Ed-ward
Gibbony; paymaster. James Har-kins;
chaplain, Frank Stevens; sergeant-at-
arms, Joseph M. Snyder; bugler, Her-bert

trying to speak. Bowman was in Fair-chance
and started over the mountain
for home. Falling in the snowdrift, he
was evidently unable to rise. He leaves
eight children.
IS THIS WHAT HAPPENED IN EDEN?
Possible explanation of the origin of the phrase, "She handed me a lemon,"
If the discovery of Professor Johnson of the Stanford university counts for
anything. Professor Johnson declares that there were no apples in the garden
of Ede.i and that the forbidden fruit must have been a lemon.

THE HOME TELEPHONE COMPANY.
A word in behalf of the Mount Pleasant Mutual Telephone
Company is deserved at this time as renewed efforts are being put
forth by the management, under the efficient head of the new presi-dent,
Charles A. Graul, to improve the service not only at home but
over all the lines owned and controlled by the Tri State people who
are in a much better position to care for the out of town business as
the trouble with their linemen has been amicably adjusted.
The Mutual company has been the means of reducing the Bell
rates until phones of both companies can be had for little more than
half the original Bell charges. This fact alone entitles the Mutual to
every consideiation. It is also well for its patrons to remember that
it is this company which stands between them and the reasonable
assurance of increased Bell charges. If evidence of this claim is
needed Greensburg can furnish it. There the local company sold out
and the Bell has the field to itself. Greensburgers are grumbling
and, not being chronic kickers, they must ha»e cause. Another
good reason why the Mutual people are deserving of most liberal
patronage is that they never made a dollar and never expect to make
one. Their only object is to provide a good service and keep the
Bell charges within reason.
NfW COUNCIL SMS Off SMOOTHLY.
The Republican Majority Members Had Held Caucus and
as a Result the Different Offices Wefe Filled
Without the Least Bit of Trouble.
THE OLD BODY DIES A VERY PEACEEUL DEATH.
The old Council met for the last time
Monday evening and, after squaring up
Its accounts, which will later be made
public when the auditors pass on them,
laid down and died in the most peaceful
manner. There was ccnsiderable moist-ure
about President John T. Tarr’s eyes
and two or three big lumbs in his throat
when he made his farewell address; for,
like good Brother Carr said at the close
of his Memorial sermon delivered be-fore
the local Grand Army Post, “Just
tell your friends the old man did the
best he could.” James B. Fultz, a Dem-ocratic
member from the Third ward, re-sponded
for his fellow members, com-plimenting
Mr. Tarr for his fairness as
the presiding officer and expressing the
deep regret all felt at his retirement.
Following the final adjournment of
the old body, in which Hugh Close, of
the Second ward, and Harvey Mellinger,
of the Third ward, stepped down and
out with Mr. Tarr, the newly elected
members, E. B. Swartz, James Harkins
and W. H. Spence, took their seats and
SIGN OF THE CROSS.

COKE AND COAL.
iteuia of Interest Garnered From Bott
Mine ana Yurn
After having given many options that
were allowed to expire, the farmers of
northern Sewickley township have com
bined to test that territory for the Free-port
vein of coal.
Republic bids fair to become a lead-ing
coke town of Fayette county as 3,000
ovens are being bnilt about it by the
following companies: Tower Hill-Qbn-nellsville,
1,000; Thompson Connells-ville,
900; Orient, 480; Brier Hill, 470,
and Union Connellsville, 150, at a total
cost estimated at $3,400,000, without
counting the coal for which from $1,400
to $1,600 an acre was paid.
A. Snedden, late of Export bnt now
located in Greensburg as mine foreman
for the Keystone Coal & Coke Company,
called on a few of his old friends here
Saturday.
The Ninevah Coal & Coke Company,
of Greensburg, capital stock $100,000,was
chartered at' Harrisburg Friday. The
directors are George F., Lloyd B. and
Julian B. Huft.
The Frick, Jones & Laughlin and other
steel interests have made recent experi-ments
which, it is said, show that the
coal of Washington and Greene counties
make a good quality of coke.
The Jamison Coal & Coke Company
has bought the William Steel farm near
Hannastown, paying half a million dol-lars
for the 500 acres.
D. B. Zimmerman, of Somerset, has
agreed to take the leases on 11,000 acres
of the 4-(oot vein of coal in Cook and
Donegal townships, making some 25,000
acres he has in that section. Tests of
the territory will be made on the Len-hart
and Ferguson farms near Jones
Mills.

BASE BALL FAN
WANTS TO KNOW
A LEW THINGS
About the National Game Out-look
for This Season.
HE SAYS THAT HE IS NOT A CRANE
BUTFRANKLY ADMITSHEROOT*"
FOR THE HOME TEAM.
He has a Good Word to Say For the
High School Boys who are Sadly
Handicepped for Lack of Inclosed
Grounds. A Suggestion that Coun-cil
Fence Frick Park, Charging
Rent and Selling Advertising Space
to Get the Town’s Money Back.
EDITOR JOURNAL:—I believe I may safely
say that I am not a base ball crank, bn*
will admit that as the season draws near
my enthusiasm grows warmer and warm-er
until it leads me to become a full
fledged rooter for the home team on the
diamond. For the last few years our
town has been ably represented by th»
members of the High School team, and I
need not remind you of the good work
done by this team; for, I know that*
certain fourteen inning game with Un-iontown
last year is still fresh in tha
minds of most of your readers.
These boys, however, have had bnt
little encouragement to continue their
work, for the reason that not having in-closed
grounds, they are unable to meet
expenses, and in addition to giving their
time they have also been called upon In
go down in their jeans following games
here for about one dollar each to meet
expenses of the visiting team.
Let me ask our citizens a question?
don’t yon believe in advertising yonr
town and is it not good business to get
as many people as possible interested in
your town? Now, don't get funny, Mr.
Merchant. I know that a ball game does
not help yon any on the day of the
game, and I am not sure that yon wan*
to be busy on that day. I think yon
would rather get a lit'le recreation by
going to the game, and that’s right. But
honest now doesn't a good ball team
bring our town before the people of thn
surrounding country better than any-thing
you can name? Of course, it does*
and no town is talked about mnch whick
does not have a good team.
What do you think? Is it not about
time our old town woke np and took
notice? The boys have again organize#
for the coming summer with a better an#
stronger team than ever and will be in
position to play the best teams in West-ern
Pennsylvania. Can't we provide
them with a ground inclosed so thak
they can at least make expenses?
How about this plan: If Council
would fence Frick Park and charge the
teams playing there a percentage of the
gate receipts, do you think it would he
long until the town wonld have the cost
of the fence back? Beside what an im-provement
it would be to the park! I
know our city fathers do not find muck
trouble in handling their long green, bnt
if they do not feel that they could spare
enough to do this, what would be the
matter with them allowing others tn
do it?
I believe a fence could be built from
the receipts from the sale of advertising
space on the fence, providing that Coun-cil
would permit this field to be used
for ball purposes, and the fence for ad-vertising
purposes for a period of three
to five years.
This is only a suggestion. There may
be those who can suggest a better plan.
If there are, let them be heard; but, for
gracious sake! let us have a place for the
boys to play ball with a reasonable
chance of making expenses, and where
we can go and enjoy the best game of the
present day. B. B. FAN.

SHOT BY A PRINCESS.
Actress Visiting In Baltimore
Tells a Remarkable Story.
OINED WITH GRAND DUKE.
©rand Duche6s Found Her Alone With
Him and “Pulled a Gun”—They Gave
Her $50,000 Houso “For Her Silence.”
Fled to America.
Marie Ziegler, the Austrian actress
and prirna donna of the Opera Co-mique
in Prague, the shooting of
whom by the Grand Duchess Eliza-beth
of Austria less thau two years
ago in tlie rooms of the duchess’ hus-band.
Prince Otto Windisch-Grnetz,
caused a tremendous sensation in liu-
*ope, is visiting Baltimore.
The actress arrived in this country
aeveral months ago partly for rest and
partly to escape the echo of the scan-dal.
through which she wus almost
killed by the Emperor Joseph’s grand-daughter.
She will remain in Balti-more
for about ten days.
Fraulelu Ziegler is twenty-four years
of age. She has the golden hair and
"Tilt. SHOl ENTERED MY BREAST.”
the pink and white complexion of the
Teuton. In height she is below me-dium.
Her features are similar to
those of Fritzl Scheff, whom she close-ly
resembles also in manner.
The actress’ story of how she was
lured into the prince’s apartments un-der
the guise of being summoned to a
reception is best told in her own words.
“Nothing would have ever been
heard of this dastardly attempt on my
life,” said Fraulein Ziegler, “had it not
been for the prince's valet, who was
also responsible for my being shot.
You see, I received the summons to at-tend
the reception in the same manner
in which hundreds of persons in my
profession receive them. Thinking it
would be a good opportunity to meet
the best people, I went to the royal
palace. To my surprise I found the
prince alone. When I wanted to leave
he insisted that I remain and take
dinner with him. Not wishing to cre-ate
a scandal by escaping, I consented.
“Hardly had I taken my place at the
table across from the prince when the
duchess appeared at the door and flour-ished
a revolver. She immediately
fired, and the shot entered my breast.
I was secretly removed to a hospital,
and there for n month I hovered be-tween
life and denth. The duchess
learned of my presence in her hus-t
»und‘s room through his valet, whom
lor some reason or other she had paid
to give her information of her hus-band’s
doings.
“While I lay at the hospital I receiv-ed
many visits from imperial emissa-ries,
and every effort was made to hush
np the affair. One day the deed and
title to a large apartment house, in
which I formerly resided, was sent me.
The gift was accompanied by an un-signed
note, which read. 'For your suf-fering
and your silence.’ On the tn
books of the city of Prague the lion
Is valued at $50,000. The royal donor
had even paid the taxes several year:
ahead.
“For some time before my visit tn
the royal castle the prince lmd been n
• nightly visitor to a theater where I
performed. The attention he paid me
is quite common in Europe from cava
liers to footlight favorites. No one
there finds anything serious in these
flirtations, and I certainly had not the
slightest intention to disturb the do
mestie happiness of the granddaughter
of the beloved emperor. I looked upon
the prince simply as an admirer of art
who wished to pay me a compliment.’’
After her recovery the actress ap
peared in Prague, and at the perform
mice a number of officials tried to in-terrupt
the performance. The affair
was a success, however, and before tin-play
had ended Fraulein Zeigler had
been showered with flowers. But the
echo of the scandal became unbearable,
and the American shores were secretly
sought until they subsided. The actress
will probably return again at the close
of the year.
THE LAZIEST MAN ALIVE.
Telephoned For Police to Arrest Him
and Then Fell Asleep.
Weary of his struggle for existence
and too lazy to walk to a police sla
tion, John Callahan, twenty-seven
years of age, walked into a drug store
at Bayonne, N. J., and telephoned the
police to send a patrol wagon, saying
that he wanted to be arrested.
When he had finished telephoning in
the drug store the effort of talking
over the wire seemed to have exhaust-ed
all his remaining energy, and he
went to sleep in the booth.
“Where’s the man who wanted to be
arrested?” demanded the policeman in
charge of the wagon as he walked into
the store. The proprietor was surprised
by the query, but when the policeman
insisted that there was a man there
who wanted to be arrested a search
was made.
Finally Callahan was seen in the
booth and awakened by the policeman.
Callahan admitted he was the man
who telephoned and was carried into
the patrol wagon. When arraigned in
court Recorder Lazarus satisfied his
desire by sending him to the work-house
for ninety days, and Callahan
leaned back in his chair, closing his
eyes blissfully.
BURIED ALIVE TWELVE HOURS.
Ex-Corpse Tells How He Died and
Came to Life Again.
John Caree while testifying at a
trial in Chattanooga, Tenn., recently
said that In 1878, the year of Chatta-nooga's
yellow fever scourge, he was
burled alive for twelve hours, being
thought dead.
“I was taken ill of yellow fever,” he
said. “The next day I died—that is,
they thought I died, but I did not. I
suppose I was in a trance. They put

FREE LOVE DANCE IN HOBOKEN
Micmac Bachelors Scandalize City by
Putting Matrimony In a Coffin.
A free love dance in Hoboken, N. J.,
has scandalized the town. Arrests are
expected.
A club called the Micmac Bachelors,
of which former Mayor Brownson is
president, gave the ball in the town
hall.
When the grand march began dan-cers
saw in the middle of the floor u
coHu containing a human skeleton.
The skeleton was tagged “Matrimony
Death to Marriage!”
The ensuing dance was so wild that
only the prominence of club members
prevented a police raid.
Many women left In disgust. Coin-plui)
it was made to the county author-ities.
A Queer Exchange
Ol Apologies THE nlglt Mr. and Mrs. Elton held
their reception at the Inside club
Mr. Elton, whose eyesight Is very
poor, bowed politely to every one he
saw. Including the waiters. Mrs. Elton
remonstrated with him for tills, and so
the remainder of the evening he wus
more careful In distributing recogni-tions.
But the following unfortunate
accident occurred nevertheless:
At fl:30 Mrs. Elton came to him with
a wild look In her eye and delivered
herself of the alarming news that the
silverware they had brought to he used
for buffet lunch was In a box down-stairs
in the cloakroom. Would he hur-ry
down to get It and come up the hack
way?
Mr. Elton turned to a man nt his el-bow.
“Follow me," he said.
In a moment the box was opened
and Mr. Elton fished out an armful of
spoons. "Take these,” he said, thrust-ing
them nt the man. "Fill yonr poek-ets
as fast as you can. Somebody
might come and catch us. 1 wouldu't
have tills known for the world. Here’s
another handful. Tie It up In your
napkin.”
“Napkin!” exclaimed the man, “Do
you suppose 1 brought a napkin to this
reception?”
“Oh, my dear sir,” cried Mr. Elton,
realizing Ills error, "I beseech you to
pardon me—I entreat you to forgive
me—why—er—I took you for a waiter."
"That’s all right,” responded the
guest, with a deprecatory gesture.
“Don't give the matter nnother
thought. 1 took you for a thief!”—

ENTITLED
TO PAY.
Judge Reppert Decides That Fayette
County Road Supervisors Can
Get $2 a Day.
CLAIMS THE OLD jl IS STILL IN EfFECT.
At a short session of court Judge Reppert has handed down an impor-tant
decision, one that effects every township in Fayette county. In the case
of W. C. Franks against German township, Judge Reppert gives his opinion
that road supervisors are entitled to pay for the actual work they render.
Under the new law of 1905, no provision is made for the payment of
supervisors, although they were allowed $2.00 a day under the previous Act.
Judge Reppert declares that there is nothing in the act which conflicts with
that section of the old one. Fie cited the difficulty in getting good men to
aspire for the office it no pay is allowed.

“Gif oop der cobbler peesness und go

by cleaning one pair of pants for

trade. No, Hans, you vhas too old.
You don’t haf der brains in your head.
I vhas sorry for you, but you had bet-ter
go hack to der old country uud say
dot you vhas a failure.”
Dot tailor ho swells out his chest
und puts his hat on his ear und goes
avay, und I do some thinking. Ma.vpe
1 vhas a failure, und maype I haf a
trick oop my sleeve. Dot eavenings
before I go to bed I make a sign und
hang her oop in der window. She
reads:
Free to All Customers.
“Palmistry! Palmistry! Palmistry!
She Vhas Free to All Customers! Come
In!”
Vhell, 1 get oop early und shust haf
iny breakfast oaten vhen In comes a
mans init a pair of shoes in his hand.
He Ill's two blocks avhay. He laughs
a leetle und says:
“Cobbler, dose shoes need fixing oop,
und I brings ’em to you. Vhat foolish-ness
vhas dis about palmistry?”
“It vhas no foolishness at all,” I
says.
“Do you menu dot you can tell me
soinet’ings by my palm?”
“Certainly! Let me haf your hand.
Ah! Your wife vhas dead uud you
vhas thinking of marrying again.”
“Come, now,” he says as he gets red
in der face. “Some one around here
tells you dot my wife dies two years
ago.”
“Not at all. 1 see it lu your hand.
You shall marry again before six
months. She vhas an awful nice wom-an.
She makes you very happy. Dot
vhas all.”
“It vhas foolishness, of course,” he
says mlt a laugh. But vhen he goes
out he says dot he vhill patronize my
shop right aloug nfter dis.”
I don’t belief he vhas around der cor-ner
vhen a womans mil two pairs of
shoes comes in. She runs so fast dot
she can hardly speak.
“Oh, cobbler, but you don’t mean It?"
she says.
“For sure! If you vhus a customers,
gif me your band to look at.”
"But I neffer haf my fortune told
before, uml maype you tell me dot I
vhas going to die.”
“I don't belief so. Let me see. No
You shall live to be ninety-three year
old. Y'ou don't haf some family. Yo-vhas
vhat dey calls a grass widow
Youv husband runs avhay. Vhell. in
two mouths from now you shall hen
dot he is dead. Dot leaves you fre
to marry again.”
"How wonderful! How wonderful!”
she says.
“Y’ou are already in love rait anoth-er
mans. You shall marry him und
be one of der happiest women in der
land. It looks to me In your hand here
dot you shall have a carriage und dia-monds.”
“Cobbler, If all dot comes true, do
you know vhat 1 shall do for you?”
she says ash she blushes und laughs.
“No.”
Calls Him a Nice Man.
“Vhell, 1 bring you one hoondered
pairs of shoes to ment eavery year
und make all my friends trade mlt
you. I don’t know vhen I haf seen as
nice a man as you before.”
It vlias all easy enough. She vhas
no customer of mine before, but I see
her on der street many times und nsk
about her. She vhas gone fife minutes
vhen a mans who lives three blocks
avhay und tends money vhalks in uud
looks around und says:
“Cobbler, here vhas a pair of patent
leather shoes dot need fixing oop. 1
vhas going to take ’em to a dago, but
he cheats me der last time. Y'ou may
take ’em. Dis vlus line weather, eh?”
“Worry fine.”
“Und peesness vhas good?”
“I can’t make some complaints.”
“Oh, by der vhay, vhat about dis
palmistry? It’s a fake, of course-something
to catch silly women."
“Let me took your hand und see.
Your wife vhas not a well womans.
You go out nights a great deal. You
haf children, but you vhas not happy.
Sometimes you think dot if you vhas
married again”—
"You can stop right dere,” he says.
“Vhell, It vhas In your hand; also dot
a tall womans mlt blue eyes und light
hail-”—
He pulls his hand avhay und walks
around der shop und whistles und den
says to me:
“Cobbler, you shall tell nopody vhat
you saw in my hand.”
“Of course not. It vhas strictly con-fidential.”
Warned to Be Careful.
“If you tell somepody I break your
neck. If you tell nopody I bring all my
shoes hero to be repaired.”
Den it vhas a womans agnln. I know
dot her husbands keeps a grocery, und
I know dot she flirts mit other men. 1
see her do it on der street cnr one time
myself. She comes tripping In und
says:
“Cobbler, I haf some shoes to be
mended, und, hearing dot you vhas a
good workman und a Christian man, I
bring ’em to you. I never patronize
robbers and murderers if 1 know it.”
“Thanks, ma’am.”
"I don’t come in about dot palmistry,
of course, but now dot I am here I may
ask what about it?”
“She vhas all right, ma’am.”
‘Where you learn it?”
“In cler Black forest, in Germany.”
“Oh! I never see dot kind before.
Here vbus my hand. Tell me how she
vhas.”
“Madam,” I says after looking at her
hand about a minute, “you vhas ad-mired
by many men.”
“How foolish! Ha, ha, ha!” she
laughs.
“Your husband vhas a good mans,
but he vhas too slow. He don’t half
appreciate you.”
“Tush! Tush!”
“You should haf been der wife of
a gentleman uud a rich mnns. You
should haf diamonds und a big house
uud go to Europe. You should be out
in Society, where all can see und ad-mire.
I belief dot more ash one hoon-dered
men In dis city admird you.”
“Y'ou must not talk such things,” she
says, mit n laugh und a blush. “Vhell.
I shall bring in more shoes. I see It
vhas true dot you vhas a good mans
und a Christian.”
She goes out mit a goodby, but in a
minute she comes back uud says:
“By der vhay, don’t speak to some-body
about me.”
“Of course not.”
Calls Palmistry a Fake.
"Palmistry Is all a fake, of course,
but if you should tell others vhat you
haf told me It would get to my hus-band,
und he wouldn’t like it a leetle
bit. I may tell you dot he is jealous
of me, tnough I never guve him the
slightest cause. I shall depend on
you.”
How many folks do you belief come
In dot day? Over thirty, und nil haf
shoes to mend und henr some palmis-try.
Vhen night had come dot leetle

Baby Up to Now.
“Oh, for a pair of scales.” he said; “the
baby must be weighed!”
Yet none around the place were found,
and all were sore dismayed,
For babies must be weighed at once; the
neighbors must be told,
Yet who would take an Infant out, the
weather being cold?
Then rose Its aged grandpapa and got
into the game.
He had a scheme to tip the beam with
baby on the same.
No plan was his that flickers up and In
its weakness fails—
He’d listen for that rasping screech and
get the iceman’s scales.
The iceman in his flannel shirt protested,
but in vain:
They weighed that Infant on his scales
and hefted it again,
And, lo, even of the greatest freak that
on the earth abounds,
That baby tilted olt the scales at forty-seven
pounds!

Not So Very Final.
“1 cannot be your wife,” she replied
and added, “This Is final.”
He paced swiftly to and fro several
times, then halted abruptly in front of
her.

This was too much. She hurst into

“How do I know?” she sobbed.—

THU RSDAY,
LOCAL TELEPHONE COMPANY.
The Mount Pleasant Mutual Telephone
Company, the first of its kind in the
state, was organized some thirteen years
ago and at a time when the Bell people
charged $60 a year for phones with few
privileges for their Mount Pleasant
subscribers except paying the fixed
charges.
Credit for the liftle rival for local
hello honors is due Mr. O. P. Shupe, the
East End miller, who was its first presi-dent,
and it has done a good work (or
the town ever since as both services can
be had for little over half the original
Bell charge.
The Mutual company, with active men
in charge and with a greatly improved
•ut of town service, thanks to the settle-ment
of the Tri-State employes’ strike,
is in a better position than ever before
to give prompt and efficient service. It
also has the right to expect all favors n
the way of patronage as it furnishes this
service at cost, its stockholders never
having had any desire to make money
out of the enterprise.
Mcrrb 7. 1907
he turned over some information. It has
to do with the charge that some of the
bronze work is not genuine.
The committee had authorized the is-suing
of summons for the books of the
principal contractors. They learned of
the fact and sent word that their books
would be turned over.
The committeemen, counsel and every
one connected with the inquiry are
sworn to secrecy. Lengthy meetings are
being held, but nothing is being made
public. The claim, made that publicity
at this time would interfere with the
plans of the probers, may be perfectly
proper and the sensible thing to do un-der
the circumstances; but, it should be
remembered by the investigating com-mittee

UNCLE SAM NOT SPEED-MAD.
Postmaster General Cortelyou has is-sued
instructions defining the attitude of
the postoffice department regarding fast
nail trains.
He states that, while the department
should insist upon the most expeditions
service feasible, it should not exert its
authority to such an extent as to compel
the establishment of railroad schedules
inconsistent with entire salety to all
persons carried on these trains. The
Postmaster General thinks that there is
danger of some of the roads being over-taxed
in the matter of speed.
Mr. Cortelyou’s statement is timely
and shows that Uncle Sam refuses to be
held in anyway responsible for the fast
passenger craze with which numerous
railway managements have become at
dieted.
PRESS MUZZLER DOOMED.
By a unanimous vote the House on
Thursday last passed finally the Hab-good
bill repealing the Salus-Grady libel
law. On the rollcall several members
voted against the repealer, but when
they realized the strong tide of senti-ment
in favor of a free press they wheel
ed into line and joined the procession.
Backed by such an overwhelming
House sentiment, the Senate will likely
b compelled to pass the repealer, as the
R publican state leaders, Penrose and
McNichol, will, it is said, do nothing to
prevent the repeal of the muzzier.
That Governor Stnart will approve the
repealer his friends do Dot for a moment
doubt. Unlike his predecessor, and as a
bright Harrisburg correspondent says,
Governor Stuart is not possessed of the
delusion that he has been divinely com-missioned
to regulate newspapers.
LET US PLAY BALL.
The communication on another page o(
this issue from a local base ball enthu-siast
contains a deal of good common
sense for even those who, doubtless for-getting
the old town ball sport of their
country schoolboy days, cannot see the
real healthy enjoyment there is in a
well contested game of base ball, espe
daily between nines from neighboring
towns.
A town today is like a college in this
respect; it is not considered thoroughly
up-to date without being able to at least
hold its own in athletics. Mount Pleas
ant has good base ball, basketball, bowl
ing and polo teams and excellent places
ts play these different games except the
first named which requires inclosed
grounds. We are not prepared to say
that the plan to have Council fence
Frick Park is feasible, but we heartily
endorse the inclosed ground idea, with-out
which it is impossible to support
good nine.
Frank Cowan’s Will Stands.
The jury, after being out 17 hours and
taking 24 ballots, brought in a verdict at
Greensburg Saturday morning in the
contest over the will of the late Dr.
Frank Cowan, finding that he was of
sound mind when he made it. Under the
provisions thus sustained Greensburg
will come into possession of Mount Odin
Park, the testator's country home, on
February 13, 1935.
Basketball Games.
The Mount Pleasant High School bas-ketball
team played the Jeannette stu-dents
Friday evening at Jeannette and
got tlie short end of the 10 to 9 score.
The Irwin High School team will play
here tomorrow evening.
The Scottdale Y. M. C. A. boys were
defeated by the Company E team here at
the state armory Saturday evening by a
score of 13 to 11.
BOROUGH TAX EXONERATIONS.
The statement in last week's JOURNAL
in regard to Council's exoneration of
417 borough taxables on the 1906 list
was misleading as a corrected addition
•n the part of the secretary shows the
total foots up practically $300, although
It is not necessary to explain that the
article should not have cast any reflection
on Mr. Clyde Yothers who is settling up
that year’s duplicate of his father, the
late J. M. Yothers.
Of course, due allowances must be
made for people who have moved away
since having been assessed as well as
those who are not financially able to
pay. But, with such reasonable reduc-tions,
the list still contains the names of
many who should be ashamed to thns
sneak out of paying the small sum they
owe their town.

This includes the money to be paid tor

STUBBORN OLD GRANDDAD.
Prefera Penitentiary to Settling for Shooting
of His Son-in-Law.
The arrival of a baby at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. William Wirsing Monday
caused a postponement by the Fayette
county court until March 28 of the $50,-

be remembered that the old man shot
and seriously wounded his son-in-law
last summer.
Counsel for Wirsing was hopeful that
the coming of the baby would soften the
heart of the grandfather and cause him
to settle with Wirsing out of court, es-pecially
since Smith was promised a
modification of his five-year sentence to
the penitentiary by the court in case he
made settlement, but he refuses to com-promise.

from the side of Dulzo's tongue and
from Ills cheek, and ns R result of the

The neighbor picked the dying

HOW CAN I FORGET?
I remember, I remember,
When I wiifl but a lad,
Down on the old plantation,
What Jolly Joy* I had I
I used to milk the seven cow*,
And swill the mixteen motherly flow*,
And give the eighteen home* oat«,
Ami Hhuck the corn for thirty Mhoat*,
And fork tho buy for flfty head
Of cattle black and brown and red,
And fodder woven hundred sheep
Each night before I went to sleep.
Ah. thoHo were happy fleanoti*'
When I was but a lad!
I had .so many reasons
For being gay and glad!
I used to rlso at three o'clock
And feed the seven sorts of stock
And chop eleven cords of wood
Before my appetite was good.
And after breakfast dig a ditch
Till nil my muscles got the twitch,
And hoe the cotton afternoons
Along with nix or seven coons.
Oh. what A flwcv't existence,
How Jammed with dally Joy,
Away off In the distance,
When I was hut a boy!
For even after supper time
Up In the loft I used to climb
And fork down forty tons of hay
To feed the animal* next day.
And after that—ah, ehlefest Joy
For any happy hearted boy!—
I turned the grindstone (such repose!)
To sharpen forty-seven hoe*.
I remember, I remember.
Those boyhood pleasures yet,
Down on the old plantation!
Ah, how can 1 forget?

-yvny urn ne IOOK at you in that way
Just now? Didn't you think he was go-ing
to embrace you on the spot? Con-fess!"
“It was at you be was looking.”
“Not iu the way 1 mean. He gazed
at me as if I were a spirit. Hut when
you touched him he awoke. He might
have been asleep and suddenly seen
you near him, 1 wonder he didn’t say,
‘Kiss me, dearest, and then 1 will be
sure it is uot a dream.’ ”
Coustauce discovered that she must
defend herself.
“Mr. I’yue hardly conveyed such un-utterulile
things to me," she said, con-scious
tliut u clean fuce betrays a flush
which Binudges may hide. "Have you
had a letter from Jack that you can
interpret other people's thoughts so
sweetly ?”
“No, dear. Jack has uot written. 1
have found out the cause. His mother
expresses the hope that he will be the
first to convey her good wishes. So 1
think he meant to try to bring the
rope himself. Dad knew it and Mr.
t’yue. That is why they did uot tell
us.”
Constnnce gathered her letters into a
heap. The tiny pang of jealousy which
thrilled her iiad gone.
"Eighty-one hungry mouths expect to
be tilled to repletion tonight,” she said.
“N'o more gossip. What curious crea-tures
women are! Our own affairs are
sufficiently engrossing without endeav-oring
to pry into Mr. Dyne's.”
“Connie, don’t press your lips so
tightly. You ure just dying to know
what upset him. But, mark ir y words,
it had nothing to do with any other I
woman.”
Wherein Enid was completely mis-taken;
she would never commit a
greater error of judgmeut during the
rest of her days.
When Pyne quitted the kitchen his
intent was to reach Brand without de-lay.
As he passed Mrs. Vansittart's |
bedroom he paused. Something had
delighted him immeasurably once the
first shock of the intelligence hnd
passed.
He seemed to be Irresolute in his
mind, for oe waited some time on tile
landing before lie knocked at the door
and asked if Mrs. Vausittart would
come and speak to him.
"Are you alone?” she demanded, re-maining
invisible.
"Yes,” he said.
Then she appeared, with that bor-rowed
shawl still closely wrapped over
head and face.
"What is it?” she said wearily.
“You have had a letter from my
uncle?”
“Yes, a charming letter, hut 1 cannot
understand it. He says that some very
important and amazing event will de-tain
him in Penzance after we reach
the place. He goes on—but I will read
it to you. 1 am quite bewildered.”
She took a letter from her pocket and
searched through its contents until she
found a paragraph. She was about to
read it aloud when some one came
down the stairs. It was one of the of-ficers,
yet Mrs. Vansittart was so flur-ried
that she dropped the sheet of pa-per
and bent to pick it up before I’yue
could intervene.
“Oh, bother!” she cried. "I am dread-fully
nervous, even now that we are In
no further peril. This is what I wish
you to hear.”
And she read:
Nothing but the most amazing and tin-looked
for circumstances would cause me
to ask you to postpone the date of our
marriage for at least a month after you
reach shore. This is not the time nor are
your present surroundings the place for
telling you why I make this request.
8ufflce it to say that I think—Indeed, I
am sure—a great happiness has come Into
my life, a happiness which you, as my
wife soon to be, will share.
The American, while Mrs. Vansittart
was intent on her excerpts from bis
uncle's letter, studied all that was visi-ble
of her face. That which he saw
there puzzled him. She had suffered
no more than others, so he wondered
why she wore such an air of settled
melancholy. Throughout the lighthouse
gloom was dispelled. The sick became
well, the lethargic became lively. Even
the tipplers of methylated spirits, dead-ly
ill before, had worked like Trojans
at the rope, as eager to rehabilitate
their shattered character as to land the
much needed stores.
What trouble had befallen this wo-man,
so gracious, so facile, so worship
ful in her charm of manner and utter-ance
during the years he had known
her, that she remained listless when all
about her was life and joyance. she,
the cynosure of many eyes by her cos-tumes
and graceful carriage, cowering
from recognition? Here was a mys-tery,
though she had repudiated the
word, and u mystery which, thus far,
defeated his subconscious efforts at so-lution.
She lifted her eyes to his. ner ex-pression
was forlorn, compelling pity
by It3 utter desolation.
“What does he mean?” she asked
plaintively. “Why has he not spoken
clearly? Can you tell me what It Is,
this great happiness which has entered
so strangely Into his life and mine?”
“I have never met any man who
knew exactly what ho meant to say
and exactly bow to say it better than
Cyrus J..” said Pyne.
"But he has written to you surely.
Does he give no hint?”
,"Uls letter is u very short one. To
be candid, I have hardly made myself
acquainted with Its contents as yet.”
“You are fencing with me. You
know, and you will uot tell."
Her mood .changed so rapidly that
Pyne was not wholly prepared for the
attack.
"It is a good rule,” be said, "never
to pretend you can handle another
man's all'nirs better than he can handle
them himself."
lie met her kindling glance firmly.
The auger that scintillated in her eyes
almost found utterance, hut this clever
woman of the world felt that nothing
would he gained, perhaps a great deal
lost, by any open display of temper.
She laughed scornfully.
“Mr. Traill Is certainly the best
judge of those worthy of his confi-dence.
Excuse me if I spoke heatedly.
Let mutters remain where they were.”
"Just a word, Mrs. Vansittart. My
uncle has written you fairly ami
squarely. He lias not denied you his
confidence. If 1 understood you, ho
has promised It to the fullest extent”
“Yes, that is true.”
“Then what are we quarreling
about?”
lie laughed in his careless way to
put her at her ease. She frowned med-itatively.
She who could smile In such
a dazzling fashiou had lost her art of
late.
"You are right,” she said slowly. “I
am just a hysterical woman, starting
at shadows, making mountains out of
molehills. Forgive me.”
As Pyne went on up the stairs his
rellectlons took this shape;
“The old man shied at telling her
vutrlght. I wonder why. lie is chock
full of tact, the smoothest old hoy I
ever fell up against. He thinks there
may have been little troubles here, per- :
liaps. Well, I guess he's right.”
In the service room he found Brand
cleaning a lamp calmly and methodic-ally.
All the stores had been carried
downstairs and the storeroom key giv-en
over to tho purser.
“I am glad you have turned up,” said
tho lighthouse keeper. “Oblige me by
opening that locker and taking back
the articles I purloined recently. If i
the purser asks for an explanation, tell
him the truth and say I am willing to
eat this stuff now for my sins.”
Tyne noticed that Brand’s own let-ters
lay in a small pile on the writing
desk. With two exceptions, they were
unopened. As a matter of fact, he had
glanced at the superscriptions, saw
that they were nearly all from stran-gers
and Ink! them aside until night
fell and the lighting of the lamps would
give him a spare moment.
“I’ll do that with pleasure,” said the
American, "but there’s one thing I
want to discuss with you while there
Is a chance of being alone. My uncle
says he has written to you.”
"To me?”
“Yes. It deals with an Important
matter too. It concerns Enid.”
“Mr. Traill has written to me about
Enid?” repeated Brand, stopping his
Industrious polishing to see if Pyne
were joking with him.
“That’s so. See; here is his letter.
It will tell Its own story. Guess you’d
better read it right away.”
The young man picked up one of tho
sealed letters on the table and handed
it to the other.
Setting aside a glass chimney and n
wash leather, Brand lost no time in
reading Mr. Traill’s communication.
Save that his lips tightened and his
face paled slightly, there was no out-ward
indication of the tumult the writ-ten
words must have created in his
soul, for this Is what met his aston-ished
vision:
DELIBERATE
SUICIDE
Committed by Levi Younkin, a Well
Known Somerset County Far-mer,
by Hanging Himself.
ILL HEALTH DROVE HIM 10 SELF MURDER.
Hanging to a beam with a stout rope around his neck, Levi Younkin. of
Draketown, near Confluence, was found in his stable last Wednesday after-noon.
Younkin was a well-to-do farmer of Somerset county, hut had been
unwell lately and it is supposed that bad health earned him to lake his lile.
He had been absent from his home for a considerable period and members of
the family made a search for him. From the thorough manner in which the
deed was performed it was evident that the man had planned every detail.
Mr. Younkin was about 55 ye. rs old, and had resided in Somerset coun-ty
practically all his life. He was a farmer and raised a large family.

interrupted.
Dear Mr. Brand—I hone soon to make
your acquaintance. It will be an honor to
meet a man who has done so much for
those near and dear to me, but there is
one reason why I am anxious to grasp
your hand which is so utterly heyond
your present knowledge that I deem it a
duty to tell you the facts—to prepare you,
In a word.
Circumstances have thrown me into the
company of Lieutenant Stanhope. We
had a kindred inspiration. He. I under-stand,
is, in effect if not in actual recorded
fact, the accepted suitor of your adopted
daughter, known as Miss Enid Trevlllion.
I, although an older man, can share his
feelings, because I am engaged to be
married to Mrs. Vansittart, a lady whom
you have, by God's help, rescued. Hence
Mr. Stanhope and I have almost lived to-gether.
ashore ar.d afloat, during these
troubled days. Naturally, he spoke of the
girl he loves and told me something of
her history. He described the brooch
found on her clothing, and a Mr. Jones,
retired from the lighthouse service, who
was present when you saved the child
from speedy death, informs me that her
linen was marked “E. T."
These facts, combined with the date and
Mr. Jones' description of the damaged
boat, lead me to believe that the glr! is
my o.vn daughter, Edith Traill, whom
you have mercifully preserved to gladden
the eyes of a father who mourned her
death and the death of her mother for
nineteen years.
I can say no more at present. I am not
making inferences not justified In other
ways; nor am I setting up a father’s
claim to rob you of the affections of a
beautiful and accomplished daughter. I
will be content—more than content—If
site can give to me a tithe of the loVe
she owes to you, for, Indeed, in Mr, Stan-hope
and in all others who know you,
you have eloquent witnesses. Yours most
sincerely, CYRUS J. TRAILL.
P. S.—Let me add as an afterthought
that only my nephew and you have re-ceived
this Information. The agonized

appeared on the
stairs. All that was visible was her
head. She looked like one of Murillo’s
angels.
“Please, can Mamie ’n’ me see the
man?” she asked, a trifle awed. She
did not expect to encounter a stern
faced official iu uniform.
“What man, dearie?" he said, and
Instantly the child gained confidence,
with that prompt abandonment to a
favorable first Impression which marks
the exceeding wisdom of children and
dogs.
She directed an encouraging sotto
voce down the stairs:
“Come right ’long, Mamie.”
Then she answered, clasping the
hand Pyne extended to her, but eying
Brand the while:
“The man who brought the milk.”
She wondered why they laughed, but
the lighthouse keeper caught her up In
his arms.
“He has gone away, sweetheart,” he
ssid, “but when he comes iu the morn-ing
I shall send for you, and you will
see him. You are the little girl who
was Injured, eh? Are you getting bet-ter?”
Elsie, having seen Mamie safely ex-tracted
from the stairway, became vol-uble.
“My elbow Is stiff, but It doesn’t
hurt. I was feelin’ pretty bad 'fore
the milk came, but Mamie an' me had
a lovely lot an’ some beautiful jelly.
Fine, wasn’t it, Mamie?”
“’Squizzit!” agreed Mamie.
“I think I’d like being here if there
was more room,” said the child. ‘‘An’
why isn’t there any washin’? Mamie
an’ me Is always bein’ washed ’cept
when we’re here."
“Surely you have not kept your face
ns clean as It Is now ever since you
left the ship?”
"Oh, no,” put In Mamie. “We’ve Just
been rubbed with a hanky.”
“And sent out to pay a call?”
“Not ’zactly,” said truthful Mamie.
"Mr. Pyne told us to wait near the
JAAP”
morrow to see (he milkman?” suid El
sic. Notwithstanding his sudden gruff-uess
she was not afraid of him. She
looked longingly ut the great lump uud
the twinkling dlumouds of the dioptric
lens.
“Yes. I will uot forget. Goodby,
now, dearie."
The visit of the children had given
him a timely reminder. As these two
were now, so hud his own loved ones
been iu years that might not he re-called.
The nest would soon be empty, the
young birds flown. lie realized thut
he would not be many days ashore be-fore
the young American to whom he
had taken such u liking would come
to him uud put forward a more endur-ing
claim to Constance than Mr. Traill
made with regard to Enid. Well, ho
must resign himself to these things,
though no man ever lost two daugh-ters
under stranger conditions.
When Pyne returned, Brand was
ready for him. The struggle was
Sharp, hut It hud ended.
“I would like you to read your
uncle's letter," he said. “I am clear lu
my own mind as to the right course to
adopt. If Mr. Traill wishes to win
Enid’s affections he will not take her
by surprise. Indeed, he himself recog-nizes
this element in the situation.
You will not rush awuy from Penzance
at once, I take it?”
“No, sir," said Pyne, with a delight-ful
certainty of negation that caused a
smile to brighten his hearer’s face.
“I may not get cleur of the rock for
several days. There Is much to place
In order here. When the relief comes I
must help the men to make things ship-shape.
Meanwhile, Stanhope—or Con-stance,
whom you can take into your
confidence—will smooth the way"—
“No, sir," Interrupted Pyne, even
more emphatically. “When you come
to know my uncle you will And that he
plays the game all ’the time. If Enid
is to be given a new parent, the old one
will make the gift. And that’s a fact.”
Brand waived the point.
"The girls have plenty to endure
here without having this surprise
sprung on them,”- he said. “I will
write to Mr. Traill and leave events
ashore in his hands.”
So for a night and the better part of
a day the pillar locked in its recesses
some new doubts and cogitations. As
between the two men a stronger bond
of sympathy was created. Pyne in
those restless hours was admirably
tactful. He talked a great deal of his
uncle. Soon not only Brand, but the
two girls, seemed to he well acquaint-ed
with a man they had never met.
With the morning tide the' anarchy
of the waves ceased. The children
were brought to the lantern to witness
n more majestic sight than the arrival
of the “milkman.” With the dawn the
sun appeared, and the sen seemed to
sink into long deferred slumber under
his uotenev.

about 6 years. They have never been sharpened since I
have had them and are as sharp as they ever were,
although they have been in constant use in a dress-maker’s

Your watch may run if a jewel is
cracked or broken, and it may keep fairly
good time.
The pivot revolving in such a jewel,
however, soon cuts and frequently breaks,
thus increasing the damage and cost of |

will pay you to have it examined.
