Darragh, of this place, spent several days in New York this week. The prettier the girl the longer it takes a young man to teach her how to skate. Ex-County Commissioner Thomas Hoover is confined to his home by kidney trouble. Mr. Fitzharris has so far recovered from his late illness as to be up and about.--Gallitzin Times. Johnstown will celebrate the centennial of its incorporation as a borough on November 4, 1900. Mrs. William Horan, of Johnstown, is visiting her parents, ex-sheriff John A. Blair and wife, of Ebensburg. Mr. Harry Bradley, of Johnstown, visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Bradley, of this place, over Sunday. Thursday morning the mercury in the thermometers registered from four to nine degrees below zero in the different localities in Ebensburg. Mrs. Thomas Siviter, of Pittsburg, accompanied by her little daughter, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Roberts, of Ebensburg. While felling trees near his home at Plumville, Indiana county, on Monday, Elmer Causland was struck on the head and instantly killed. The loss on the Cambria school house, which was recently destroyed by fire in Susquehanna township, is $2,500, on which there is an insurance of $1,500. Mr. Willard Jones, formerly baggage clerk at the depot in this place, has secured a position in the Union depot, at Pittsburg, in the baggage department. Mr. J. S. Bolsinger, of this place, is the patentee of a very ingeniously constructed lock which does not contain any springs. We hope Jesse may make a nice thing of it.

Notley, of Hastings, eloped with Miss Mary Soupp, of Altoona, last week and the happy pair were united in marriage at Greensburg. After a honeymoon tour they will return to Hastings to reside. The price of bituminous coal will, it is stated, advance about 25 cents on the ton April 1st, owing to increased freight rates. This will give the miners about 60 cents a ton for mining, which is the best price in twenty years. A cow belonging to Irvin P. Dull, of Jenner township, Somerset county, died recently of tuberculosis. An examination of the herd led to the discovery that two more were suffering from the disease and they were killed. Butter without the aid of a cow is what a Baltimore inventor proposes. Electricity is the chief agent he proposes to employ in the production of butter directly from the vegetables which form the food of cattle whose milk is used to churn. The Farmers' Institute held ad [sic] at Carrolltown on Monday and Tuesday was well attended but the severe cold weather prevented the attendance from being as large as was expected. The program as published in last week's FREEMAN was carried out. The wagon shed and blacksmith shop of Mr. Daniel Devlin, in Jackson township, was destroyed by fire one night last week together with a lot of farming implements, wagons, sleds, sleighs, etc. his loss is estimated at $800, upon which there was no insurance. Centre county will be one hundred years old on the 13th of February next, but it has not been determined whether the anniversary will be celebrated. The county was formed from parts of Mifflin, Northumberland, Lycoming and Huntingdon counties. Mr. Frank Krug, the fireman who was injured by being thrown from his engine on the Cambria and Clearfield railroad about two weeks ago, is still in the Altoona hospital in a serious condition. He regains consciousness by times, but his recovery is uncertain. The residence of George Cramer, of Stahlstown, Westmoreland county, caught fire from the cook stove Tuesday and when discovered was all in flames. But little of the contents were saved and there was no insurance on them or the building. The loss will be fully $800. The banns of matrimony were announced in the Holy Name Church in this place, on Sunday, between Mr. P. J. Gallagher, of Youngstown, O., and Miss May Darragh, of Ebensburg. we understand the wedding will take place in Ebensburg on Wednesday, February 14th. John Jeffries, a half brother of Mrs. Wm. H. Williams, of Ebensburg, was killed in the coal mines at Manor, Westmoreland county, on Thursday of last week. he was a driver in the mines and was run over by a coal car, his leg being broken in four places. He was 26 years of age and single. Rev. J. T. Jones, pastor of the Congregational church, has just added to his degree of Master of Arts, the title of Doctor of Philosophy, which was conferred upon him a few days ago by Gale University. It had been known among his closest friends for some time that he was preparing for his Ph.D., and we heartily congratulate Dr. Jones on his success. Mr. Daniel Skelly, an old and respected citizen of Summerhill township, died at his home on Wednesday morning, January 31, 1900, about 73 years. Mr. Skelly's wife died about a month ago. He is survived by four children: Simon and James Skelly, at home; Mrs. McClelland Amigh, of Altoona, and Miss Effie Skelly, at home. The remains will be interred in the Catholic cemetery at Wilmore on Friday morning. Thomas Wertzenegger, the Altoona dairyman who was injured in a runaway accident on Tuesday of last week, died at the hospital in that city Saturday. He is survived by his wife and two children. William Zeigler and George Keller while cutting saw logs on the lands of Charles Williams, in Napier township, Bedford county, last week cut a tree that they got 180 pounds of honey out of. They got one comb of honey without a break that was six feet long. Lucinda, wife of Frank Gillespie, of Nolo, Indiana county, died at her home on Friday morning, aged about forth-five years. The funeral occurred on Monday morning, a High Mass of Requiem being said in St. Patrick's church at Cameron's Bottom, after which interment was made in the Catholic cemetery at that place. Jennie Smith, aged 17 years, attempted to commit suicide at Clearfield Tuesday afternoon of last week, by jumping into the river. She was rescued by a young man name(d) Shugarts, who carried her to the shore. The cause given for the girl's rash act is that she has been in delicate health for the last year and her mind had been weakened by this reason. C. P. Pannebaker, the one-price clothier and furnisher, has a large candle on exhibition in his show window. He wants everybody to guess how long it will burn. The person who makes the nearest guess as to how long it will burn will get--if a man, a good suit of clothes; if a lady a fine jacket; if a girl, a gold watch; if a boy a good suit. Every purchaser of goods is entitled to a guess. The Pennsylvania State Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, will combine with several other states and purchase binder twine for the members of its organization. Tons of twine are used in this state annually, and the saving by buying in this way will be great. George W. Oster, of Osterburg, Bedford county, has been chosen to visit Ohio next month and confer with the Grangers from other states preparatory to placing an order. Homer D. Kimberlin, a brakeman who was injured by falling from his train at Cresson Thursday morning, died at the Altoona hospital Friday afternoon. When taken to the hospital Kimberlin'g (sic) legs were badly crushed and he was in a weak condition, but he rallied during Thursday and that night his left leg was amputated. In order to save his life it would have been necessary to amputate the other leg also, but he was too weak for the physicians to attempt this. The case of Charles, ten-year-old son of Edward Delong, of Winterburn, Clearfield county, puzzles all doctors and hospital authorities who have seen or treated it. A year ago the boy was attacked with a skin disease, then pronounced eczema. Recently the disease has grown so malignant that the sufferer's fingers have rotted and fallen off. In hope of saving his life the boy's left arm has been amputated above the elbow. Some opinions have termed the disease leprosy. Robert Mitchell's sawmill and two hundred acres of timber at Diamondville, Indiana county, was formerly transferred on Saturday to the purchasers. Mr. Mitchell, it is said, wanted to retire from his verbal contract to sell, but the Centre county capitalist's agent went to an Indiana bank, obtained $8,000 in gold and $2,000 in legal tender, and, wandering up and down street until he found Mr. Mitchell, made a tender of the money. Mr. Mitchell reluctantly concluded the deal. John McCoy died at his home in Ashville, on Thursday morning of last week from typhoid fever, aged 37 years. The deceased was a son of the late David McCoy, of Gallitzin, and is survived by his wife and one child, also by six brothers, Charles, David, James, Albert, William and Frank, and two sisters, May and Effie, all residents of Altoona. The remains were taken to Altoona at 10 o'clock Saturday morning and conveyed to the Sacred Heart church, where services were held. Interment was made in St. John's cemetery. David C. Henderson, of St. Clairsville, Bedford county, was driving a wild bronco a few days ago when the animal dashed over a precipice in East St. Clair township, known as Alum Bank. The cliff is between seventy five and 100 feet high, almost perpendicular and at the base is a solid rock bed of a stream. The pony dragged the buggy with him, but about half way down the outfit lodged between two small trees, allowing Mr. Henderson time to jump out of the vehicle and cling to some bushes on the side of the cliff. Then the pony dropped to the creek bed about forty-five feet below, staggered to the opposite side of the stream, and fell dead. George B. Hammer, a resident of Sinking Valley, Blair county, was accidentally drowned at Nealmont, near Tyrone, Saturday night, and his body was found on Sunday under ice. The discovery was made abut noon by some persons who were near Nealmont and who saw a broken buggy lying in the river. A search revealed the dead body of Hamer underneath the ice that had formed during the night. Hamer had started for Tyrone with his horse and buggy on Saturday morning for the purpose of making a payment on a sewing machine. He transacted his business but did not leave for home until about 9 o'clock Saturday night, and at the time was slightly under the influence of liquor. He was about 40 years of age and leaves a wife and seven children. A falling hemlock tree crushed Edward Reede and his son to death near Kane, Pa., on Saturday. The hemlock had lodged against a beech tree and they were endeavoring to dislodge it, when the wind swayed the hemlock from its position and it fell on the men, killing both of them. Dr. James J. Oatman, a former resident of Ebensburg, died at his home in Altoona on Monday evening, January 29th, 1900, after an illness of several weeks. He had been incapacitated from the practice of his profession for three years. The deceased was a son of Joseph and Eliza Oatman, deceased, and was born in Williamsburg, Blair county, December 24, 1839. He was reared and educated principally in Indiana county, where his parents removed soon after his birth. At the age of 16, he began teaching school and taught six terms in Indiana county. At the breaking-out of the war he enlisted in Company B, Eleventh Pennsylvania reserves. This was in 1861, and he served three and one-half years. At the battle of Peach Orchard, Va., on June 29, 1862, he received a serious wound in the head, fracturing the skull and exposing the brain, and was left on the field for dead. Later he fell into the hands of the confederates and for three months was an inmate of Libby prison. After the war he returned to Pennsylvania and began reading medicine with Dr. R. S. Bunn, of Ebensburg, and in 1867 graduated from the Jefferson Medical college and located at Carrolltown, this county, for the practice of his profession. Later he entered Hahneman Homeopathic college and in 1870 was graduated from that medical school. He then practiced at Carrolltown and Ebensburg until 1883, when he removed to Altoona and built up a large practice. He followed his profession until three years ago, when the wounds received in the Civil War began to trouble him and terminated in a disease which caused his death. In 1898 Dr. Oatman was married to Jennie H. McDermitt, a daughter of Colonel B. A. McDermitt, of Ebensburg, who survives him with the following children: William J., R. Milton, Stella G., Charles J., Genevieve K., Earnest F., and Ralph B., all at home.

The banns of matrimony between Joseph Flick, of Allegheny township, and Miss Rene Illig, of Cambria township, were announced in the Church of the Holy Name, in Ebensburg on Sunday. James Young and Robert Zones, two miners of Irvona, were severely injured on Wednesday of last week, while working in South Witmer No. 1, by a fall of rock and coal. They were completely covered and came near smothering to death. A passenger and baggage car caught fire at Hastings one day last week while the crew were at dinner and were badly burned before the fire could be extinguished. it is supposed the fire originated from an overheated stove. Messrs. Kinports and Brillhart, of Cherrytree, who some time ago bought the timber of a tract of land about three miles south of Ebensburg known as the California tract, intend placing a mill near William Howells for the purpose of cutting up the timber. Fire broke out in the Cambria company rod mill at Johnstown Tuesday morning shortly after 7 o'clock, and before it was extinguished damage to the extent of $1,500 was done. The blaze caught in the fly-wheel pit, which was full of grease, and the big wheel revolving fanned the flames near to the roof. The remains of the unknown railroad victim found near South Fork on Sunday evening and taken to Johnstown, as mentioned in another column, were identified on Tuesday as those of John Eanock, who resided in the Fourteenth ward, Johnstown. Eanock was a foreigner, aged 19, and had been in South Fork on a visit. George Brandt, the well-known proprietor of the Brant house, at Lilly, was taken to his home there from the Altoona hospital Monday night. About a year ago his mind became deranged.

Lemon Rager, aged 32, who is employed on a sawmill at Lloydell, this county, met with a serious accident Monday of last week.

It was split to the wrist, while the thumb was severed. John Swope, of Alexandria, Huntingdon county's veteran trapper, struck a few hot streak of luck on the 30th ult., when he paid a visit to his traps, securing one wildcat, five foxes, one mink, three polecats and two raccoons. One very large wildcat broke the chain with which he trap in which it was caught had been fastened and got away. Not a bad day's hunt for one man. The Greensburg Tribune says that the Ligonier Valley railroad will be extended from Ligonier to connect with what is known as the Byers Allen railroad in a short time.

Apple trees do not bear full crops until ten years old or more. A tree 20 years old will produce from 25 to 40 bushels of apples. A pear tree 15 years old should produce from 20 to 30 bushels. A peach tree four years old should produce from 4 to 10 bushels. The tree may not do so well in some sections; so much depends upon the variety and also the care bestowed. The South Fork Methodist Episcopal church was badly damaged by fire Saturday morning, the flames originating in the basement, having gained considerable headway before they were discovered and extinguished. The loss will amount to several hundred dollars. The pastor of the congregation at South Fork is Rev. J. J. McIllyar, next to the oldest minister in the Pittsburgh conference of the Methodist church. The 3-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Davis, of Dunlo, Cambria county, was scaled to death Saturday. It is said that Mrs. Davis was washing and at the time of the accident was carrying a pail of water across the floor. The children were playing about and the child who was scalded ran into its mother, causing a good portion of the water to be spilled over its head and shoulders. The injuries were so severe that the little one died a few hours later. Albert Earhart, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Earhart, committed suicide at his home in Brelin (sic), Somerset county, Thursday of last week, by taking poison. About nine o'clock in the morning Earhart went to Brallier's drug store and told the clerk that his mother had sent him for a box of rough on rats, which was given him. Immediately after he went to his home and took a spoonful of the contents and lived until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. His reason for taking the poison is not known by his relatives.

The trial of Harry W. Harris for the murder of his wife, Eva, took place at Baltimore, Md., last week, the trial beginning on Thursday morning and ending on Saturday evening, when the jury brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree. The case is of interest to the people of Ebensburg for the reason that the murdered woman was born in Ebensburg and was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Y. Jones, now of Renova, Pa., but former natives and residents of Ebensburg. Mrs. Jones, the mother of the murdered woman, was a daughter of the late H. Kinkead, of this place, and Messrs. George A. Kinkead, of Ebensburg, and D. H. Kinkead, of Johnstown, were uncles, and Miss Sue Kinkead and Mrs. Fergus Lloyd, were aunts of the deceased, who was known to a number of people here who met her while visiting. Miss Jones met Harris while she was attending a musical institution in Baltimore and he persuaded her to become his wife contrary to the wishes of her parents. they were married in November, 1897, and almost from the first Harris misused her. For a while she kept the truth from her parents, but finally, after the birth of their child, told them the state of affairs and went to them at Renovo. Harris summoned her to Baltimore, saying he was ill, and asked her to bring their babe along. She was accompanied by her father and her aunt, Miss Louise Kinkead, of Renovo. It was decided that the couple should separate and the shooting took place while the household goods were being packed up at their home in Baltimore on the morning of October 12, 1899. Harris went to the kitchen, placed one arm around his wife's nick, and shot her above the ear, her death resulting a few days later at a Baltimore hospital. The crime was committed in full view of Mrs. Harris' aunt, and Mrs. Harris herself said on her deathbed that her husband had shot her. There was no dispute as to the facts in the case and the verdict of murder in the second degree caused considerable surprise. The verdict was reached after two ballots, about 35 minutes after the jury had retired for deliberation. The penalty is from five to eighteen years in the penitentiary. At the request of the prisoner's counsel sentence was suspended and Harris was taken back to jail. Hon. Harry A. Boggs, for many years one of Johnstown's and Cambria county's most prominent citizens, died on Friday morning at Oxford Retreat, a sanitarium near Cincinnati, where he had been for over a year.

Four years later Mr. Boggs was chosen to represent this district in the senate and was re-elected in 1884. While in Johnstown, Mr. Boggs was for a number of years a bookkeeper for the Cambria Iron company, and had confidential relations with Mr. Morrell, then at the head of that organization.

The county commissioners are still in a quandiary as to whether they shall issue from $20,000 to $30,000 county bonds in order to raise funds to discharge the county indebtedness created by their predecessors. No matter whether a bond issue is authorized or not, the tax duplicates will be placed in the hands of collectors at an earlier date than in former years and the millage will be raised. There is no alternative. The debts have been contracted and the people will have to pay them. - Somerset Herald.

As mentioned theretofore, the new church will be a gift from Charles M.

The new church will cost about $60,000 and has been designed in what the architects term "round arched Gothic style," and it will be an imposing pile of buff brick and stone. It will have a total width of about 90 feet and will be 175 feet long, connected in the near by a colonade with the rector's residence. It will be built in the shape of a Latin cross and in the centre of the front will stand a massive tower, the top of which on all sides will be arcaded into a commodious belfry.

The "Souvenir of the Loretto Centenary, compiled by Father Kittell, pastor of St. Michael's church, at Loretto, whose hundred anniversary was celebrated by the unveiling of a statue to Rev. Father Gallitzin, the prince priest, has been published and is being delivered to the subscribers. The book contains over four hundred pages and is embellished with about one hundred engravings, many of them half-tones, illustrating persons prominent in the history of the church, past and present, as well as neighboring scenes and incidents of note. The volume is divided into three parts. Part I, consists of a sketch of the life of Father Gallitzin and local historical notes; Part II, is largely devoted to the matrimonial and baptismal records of Father Gallitzin, with facts and statistics in connection with the congregation, while Part III, gives a full report of the centennial exercises, with a number of biographical sketches. The whole forms a volume of local history which will be of interest to all persons in Cambria county, and of almost incalculable value to members of St. Michaels. An application has been made to the Iron & Glass Dollar Savings Bank of Pittsburgh, by the Sisters of St. Joseph, of the Pittsburgh diocese, for $50,000. The sum is to be used in removing the school for boys now at Ebensburg to Baden, near Beaver, where it will be enlarged and be more centrally located. The Ebensburg academy, which is a college preparatory institution, was built twenty-five years ago and was one of the landmarks of the north of the county, along with the mother house of the Sisters of St. Joseph. The buildings at Baden will not be ready for occupancy for a year or more. A few years ago the sisters purchased a tract of land at Crafton, Allegheny county. This was afterward sold to the Crafton Water company. The sisters began a search for a new site, and finally decided upon a tract of land on the banks of the Ohio river at Baden. The new building has been begun and will be completed as rapidly as possible. The sister will have a considerable sum of money to apply to the building fund. With the $50,000 borrowed, as stated in the foregoing, about $100,000 will be spent on the new school building. Edward W. Davis et ux. to John Lloyd, Cambria township; consideration, $1,120.
