Fatal Stabbing Affray Oliver KELLY, of Willow Grove, is at the West Penn Hospital, suffering from blood poisoning caused by a knife cut on his hand, and is not expected to live. The arm was removed yesterday, but it has done no good. His system is affected. It is reported that he received the wound in a row with a man named HARRINGTON.-Sunday Dispatch Later The cutting affray at Willow Grove on Friday night, in which Oliver KELLY was stabbed by William HARRINGTON, is likely to be a murder. The victim of HARRINGTON's wrath is now lying at the West Penn hospital. Blood poisoning has set in and the doctors say his death is only a matter of a few days. KELLY was stabled several times in the breast and his left arm was slashed so badly that it had to be amputated. Since the operation he has been sinking and it is feared his vitality is not strong enough to withstand the shock and the effects of the blood poisoning. KELLY and HARRINGTON are both oil men.-Pittsburg Press Since the above was put in type KELLY died. KELLY worked in the Oakdale oil field and on Friday he was a Willow Grove where he met John KILLEN. They drank together, got into an argument, came to blows and KILLEN was getting the worst of it when HARRINGTON interfered in behalf of the latter, and KELLY left. Shortly after KELLY and HARRINGTON met and fought and KELLY got knife wounds in his arm and breast. KELLY was married and lived at Petersville, Pa., where the remains were sent for interment.

I have just entered into my first attempt at probate records, and would recommend it to everyone. I contacted the Allegheny County Register of Wills, and got the complete records on my great grandfather James Baird and another great grandfather William A. Seiler. The records can include the will, list of next of kin (including grandchildren in my case), dates of death, property owned and property and possessions disbursed. As an example, for James Baird, I found the family names of some of my grandfather's siblings that I have been unable to find in the last year or so. Their family names were Nundza, Brewer, and Morrow. These were found in the hand written will, and now I can pursue those family lines. For my other great grandfather, it turned up much since all that was known before this is that William Seiler disappeared one year and was never seen again. This paperwork detailed the dates and process needed to declare him dead and release his will. I am going to pursue a death certificate now and see if that is obtainable. So for a first experience, it turned up much I was fearful would never turn up and I would recommend it to everyone.....especially those Baird, Morrison, Seiler, Linderer, Nundza, Brewer, Morrow, Hutchison, Webster, Schultz, Swift, Kovach, Mentzer hunters in the area. Bill Baird

HOPPER, LEPS, MCFARLAND Mr. John HOPPER, died at his home in South Fayette township, three miles south of Oakdale, on Monday night. His age was about 65 years. Samuel HOPPER of this place, is a brother. Deceased leaves no children. At Imperial last Saturday afternoon, Jacob LEPS, a young Italian, was shot and killed by another Italian named Adolph d'ALBERTO. The labor troubles were mixed up in the row, but it is probable that the killing came about in a personal quarrel between the two men. D'ALBERTO was with some Moon Run miners who had gone over to induce some Montour miners to quit work. After this was done, d'ALBERTO while standing with a group of Italians and Frenchmen called LEPS passing by some names, and the fight followed, resulting in the death of LEPS. Mrs. Sarah BARNETT MCFARLAND died in Burgettstown on the 25th ult., in her 58th year. She was a daughter of George BARNETT, who formerly lived near Venice; she was married to John H. MCFARLAND, and lived in Smith township until the death of her husband in 1872, when she removed to Burgettstown. One son is left, Kerr, living in Burgettstown. Mrs. MCFARLAND was a cousin of Mrs. John HUNTER of this place, and also a cousin of Wm. LINDSAY, deceased, father of Miss Maggie LINDSEY and Robert LINDSEY, of this place. Mrs. HUNTER and Miss LINDSEY attended the funeral of Mrs. M. on Monday.

Jan. 20, 1892 McDonald PA Outlook Crystal Anniversary The fifteenth anniversary of the Marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Lyman MCELHANY occurred on Monday, the 15th inst., and was celebrated in the afternoon and evening by a select party of invited guests. Among those present were Rev. and Mrs. JORDAN, Mr. and Mrs. G. S. CAMPBELL, Thomas TRIMMER and daughter, Frank FOSTER, the Misses Annie and Blanche LOCKHART, Robert DOUGLASS, Campbell MCELHANY and others from McDonald; Mr. and Mrs. Ira GRIBBEN of Ingram; Mrs. FOSTER and Miss Ada FOSTER, of Venice, and others. A splendid supper was served, at which the bride and groom of fifteen years ago were given the post of honor. The time was very pleasantly spent in conversation, wise and otherwise, and music vocal and instrumental, but no dancing, unless it was a solo jig by TRIMMER. At an early hour the guests departed for their homes, leaving behind them many beautiful and valuable mementos of the occasion in glassware in great profusion. On thing to be regretted is this, although unavoidable, was that two sets composed of eight pieces each, were exact duplicates of each other. The occasion was indeed a very enjoyable one, as all such should be, and the happy couple have the heartiest good wishes of all who were present.

CALDWELL what has been known as the CALDWELL House, which the latter gentleman built on the property he bought from Dr. JAMISON. Mr. CALDWELL put about $12,00 into fitting up and furnishing this house. There are about forty rooms in it furnished in the neatest style, and the whole place has such an arrangement of halls, parlors and balconies as to guarantee every possible comfort to the guests. The management of this hotel will be such as would meet the requirements of the most fastidious. Mr. BUCHHEIT is a gentleman who is popular wherever he goes and he is by nature and education well adapted to the position of host. He is a young man who has been unusually successful in this community in all that he has undertaken, and no one doubts that he will meet the duties and responsibilities of his new position with the cheerfulness and steadiness that indicated the strong man master of the situation. Mr. J. H. BUCHHEIT, a cousin of the new landlord, who is an experienced hotel man, has charge of the office. Mrs. J. M. FAIRELL presides over the dining room. McDonald people may well be proud of this hotel, for no longer can the commercial traveler complain that "there is no good resting place in McDonald."

St. Alphonsus Catholic Church The Corner-stone to be laid tomorrow. Some account of the origin of the movement. How people have responded to the need for such a church. At a meeting held at Noblestown in January 1892, first Sunday after the destruction by fire of St. Patrick's Catholic Church of Noblestown, by a vote of the members present it was agreed to build a church at McDonald and a chapel at Noblestown, but owing to dissatisfaction among the Noblestown members the matter was dropped. The members of the church at McDonald desired to build a church for themselves at McDonald, and at a meeting of the congregation the following committee was selected for the purpose: C. R. BUCHHEIT, William WRIGHT, William GODFREY, James LAUGHLIN, John CARROLL and Charles RODGERS, which committee organized with Chas. RODGERS as Chairman and William WRIGHT Secretary. Owing to the fact that there was a church to be rebuilt at Noblestown, the Reverend Father could not assist in the building of the church at McDonald, and it was left for the McDonald people to proceed at once to do so by first getting the approval from Rt. Rev. Bishop PHELAN, of the Diocese of Pittsburg, and now came the final test. Without one cent to commence with, a $10,000 debt staring them in the face, without the aid of a priest, this committee commenced to build their church. William WRIGHT with a subscription paper started to collect the funds and in the short period of two weeks had on it $2,300. With this and promise of assistance on ____ sides, them at once called on J. W. CAMPBELL, architect, Room 814, Penn Building, Pittsburg, to design their church for them. The same was submitted to the Bishop for his approval and he approved it on sight as one of the best-planned churches that ever came before him for the money. The contract was awarded to J. T. MU____ of Candor, for the building of _____. To aid the committee along financially Miss Teresa CAMPBELL and Miss Maggie O'GRADY agreed to contest for a watch; also Miss Bridget MCMICHAELS and Miss Kate DANIELS for a ring. The net returns were $1,000.10. Miss CAMPBELL and Miss MCMICHAEL being the lucky contestants. And now, July 31, 1892, we lay our corner-stone and the people of McDonald are indebted to the committee for the way they have labored in procuring them a place of worship which they would not have had for years to come but for the part they took in it and the prompt way the leading members responded on the subscription list. And the way those who did not belong to us responded shall never be forgotten. To the following persons belongs the honor of paying the first money on the ground: C. R. BUCHHEIT, William WRIGHT, Miss Kate and Miss Bridget MALONEY, Mrs. Ann HOEY, G. C. HARDGROVE, Jas. LAUGHLIN, Miss Teresa CAMPBELL, John CARROLL. Tomorrow, Sunday, the corner-stone of this new church edifice will be laid on the ground purchased on the west side of North Station street. The site is a beautiful one, on the level on top of the hill and commanding a far-reaching view of tee town and valley. Great numbers are expected to be present. Excursions will be run from Steubenville, Washington, Pittsburg, and McKeesport. The ceremonies will be very interesting. And the day will be the beginning of a new era in the religious life of McDonald.

A sad accident occurred at the McDonald depot last Sunday afternoon by which a man named ANTONOVSKI, living at Willow Grove, was killed. He was waiting at the depot with the body of a child of his who had died the day before, intending to take it away on the train when he noticed an east bound freight approaching at a high rate of speed, and fearing apparently that the little coffin containing the remains projected too far over onto the track, ran to pull it back. But he was not quick enough in getting away and the train hit him, knocking him about twenty feet and injuring him so that he died in a few moments. His wife and little girl standing by were terribly affected at being thus doubly afflicted. ANTONOVSKI was a Hungarian and worked in the Willow Grove mine.
