The Cameron Rangers This new team is the old McDonald Rangers reorganized with Chas. CAMERON Manager, Frank HALEY Captain, and Wm. CALDWELL Secretary. This team must not be confused with the McDonald Rovers, the Association Football Champions of Pennsylvania, with whom they have no connection; although three of the Cameron Rangers, Jas. DAVIDSON, Wm. CALDWELL and Robert HULME, helped the McDonald Rovers win the silver cup they now hold. The Rangers are considered the younger and lighter team, but their record, as will be seen below, is not inferior to that of the noted Rovers. The record is as follows: *This portion of the article is ripped off and the remainder continues in the next column. The photo is also ripped in half. By permission of "Scotch," the excellent Scotch newspaper of Pittsburg, we reproduce the above picture of the team ready for business; and also the following accounts of the players pictured above: Peter FORTUNE, goalkeeper, is 23 years old, 5 ft. 8 in height, 150 in weight. In 16 games he has only been scored against five times. James DAVIDSON, left full back, is probably the best man on the team-a hard, gritty player. He is 21 years old, 5 ft. 8 in height, 150 in weight. Harry CLARK, the other full back, is a fearless capable player, rapid and accurate, and a hard man to charge. He is 27 years old, 5 ft. 8 in height, 135 in weight. Adam COCHRAN, left halfback, is the youngest and heaviest member of the team and can cover every point perfectly. He is 18 years old, 5 ft. 9 in height and 170 in weight. Dick WILSON can be depended on always to play a good game he is 21, 5 ft 7 high, 140 lbs. Arch BAILEY, the third halfback, is 20 years old, 5 ft. 7, 140 lbs. His play is also reliable. R.SMITH is 22 years old, stands 5 ft. 9, and weighs 160. His shooting for goal is wonderfully accurate. T. HULME is 21 years old, 5 ft. 7 and weighs . T. SMITH . weighs 155.

On the 9th inst., three miles south of Hickory, at one of Washington County's picturesque Scotch-Irish homesteads, assembled for the second annual reunion of the MCDOWELL family, about two hundred persons. There is not space in a common newspaper to even outline all that would be interesting about what was said and done that day on the farm where dwell Mr. Joseph MCDOWELL and his sisters in the midst of scenes that first greeted the eyes of their ancestors when they came her to settle 111 years ago. The venerable Hugh MCDOWELL, of Peters, his son-in-law Wm. JOHNSON, and many prominent persons connected with the family from a distance were present. The wife of Mr. Hugh MCDOWELL had attended the last reunion, and since that she had passed away from earthly scenes, and a special service was held with reference to her demise-prayer by Rev. T. R. ALEXANDER, remarks by Messers. A. M. MCELROY, J. M. K. DONALDSON and others. A very beautiful address of welcome was read by Miss Ida MCDOWELL to which response was made by Mr. Clark SMITH, of Brilliant, O. A great feast was served up in the grove-"MCDOWELL Park"-at noon and in the evening Re. Mr. ALEXANDER and Rev. Mr. SHRODES were present during the day. J. W. MCDOWELL, Esq., the Washington attorney, was present, and his accurate knowledge of early history of the country adds much to the interest all such occasions. A reunion will be held next year, and committees have been appointed to make the necessary preparat! ions.

The Street Fair Final Notes Respecting the Great Fall Carnival that Opens Today in McDonald Bright weather, clean, gay streets, a wilderness of flags, festoons of electric lights, and crowds and crowds of people--the Street Fair is upon us! Visitors to the Fair will note that McDonald is the handsomest town in Western Pennsylvania. We are brand new. The oldest of the many substantial brick blocks that the visitor will see is not yet three yeas of age; the water and electric systems are little older; the fine school house was built within the memory of those not yet old enough to go to school; the long brick pavements have scarcely been tamped into place; our magnificent churches, -- they are not yet finished! McDonald is the prettiest town in the country topographically, as every visitor acknowledges. It is not flat, nor hilly, nor rugged, nor yet commonplace. The town is built on gently swelling ground, with no abrupt hills, and with a very fine view from nearly every house. A landscape gardener could not have imaged a town site better for drainage or buildings or fine streets. Visitors tot he Steubenville Centennial say McDonald outshines Steubenville of the Centennial. A complete program of the events of the three-day Fair will be found in the fourth column, fourth page of this paper. The sports begin at 9 a.m. each day at the Ball Par, and here are baseball, football and rugby games between the best clubs in the country. In the afternoon, at the same place, are all kinds of races and the aeronauts and fancy bicycle riders will give their exhibitions. In the evening are rope walking performances on the main streets of town and the dance at the Star Opera House. (Paragraph missing) Chairman PHILLIPS has granted privileges to three good tent shows at the Ball Park, and several small shows in other places. He has granted five restaurant stands at the Ball Park to Messers, MILLER, J. C. LAING, W. H. COOK, and Robert WATSON and a stand at Station and Lincoln to Mr. FRAMPTON. The Methodist Church has a stand, the Volunteer Hose Co. has one in the West End, and the FERGUSON Hose Co. has one at McDonald and Lincoln Avenue. Our Fair Committee, instead of throwing everything wide open, as is often done at other fairs, has been very carefully to license nothing that might be unlawful; and all the arrangements for a first-class, healthy-toned fair as nearly perfect as they can be. This first day are shown the premium agricultural exhibits at the stores; tomorrow will be Miners' Day, and Friday will be Oil Men's Reunion day. The East End Football Team Monday evening elected Mr. Joseph VOYE, Honorary President of their Rover Club and Howard CASE Captain of the Team. The Tem plays Rosedale today; Reissing, tomorrow; and Beech Cliff on Friday--all at the East End. Park--kickoff at 2 p.m. each day. The True Blue Flute Band, at the request of the Committee, will parade each morning of the Fair, at 10 a.m. This splendid Drum Corps is now one of the best known in the country and is very popular everywhere. At the Strikers' camps, where there are seven or eight bands, it has held first place all the time. The great rugby game with Homestead is on Friday at 1 p.m. The McDonald Baseball Club plays Canonsburg today, Washington tomorrow and Braddock Friday. The Rugby Team has charge of the ball at the Star Opera House each evening and the Team has a restaurant next to WILLIAMS & LOCKHART's. The Miners' Relief Committee has a restaurant next to the post office. Many strange faces in town, and not all are pretty. Miss SHANNON, the aeronaut, and M. FOURCHER, the great bicyclist , have arrived. Thirty babies entered for the GIFFIN-MOORHEAD baby show, and Oakdale not yet heard from Even the flies have come to the Fair. On Fair Eve, a cloud of flies a little larger than fleas settled down on the town and made people miserable. Twelve extra policeman have been put on for the Fair. The Fair Committee will pay them. The West Virginia oil field gets a holiday Friday for the McDonald Fair. Special trains will run form Sistersville, Parkersburg and Wheeling. G. J. BUCHHEIT and Co. have at their store a large and perfect X-Ray apparatus, and the public is cordially invited to test it. Go and see through yourself and find out if there is anything inside of you that outhtn't to be there. The guesses at WILLIAMS Bros.' jar of beans run from 1,000 to 12,000. Sept. 4, 1897 Outlook In The Midst of the Fair The first day of the Fair was not a shadow of the second, which was Miner's Day. At 10 o'clock, the noted Camp Victory arrived with a band, having marched all the way from DeArmitt's mines. Thousands of men and women came marching from Reissing, Cecil and Tom's Run. At 12 o'clock a mile-long procession with bands and banners arrived from Carnegie. The latter was headed by a banner with a large square hint to McDonald people: "In God We Trust for our Bread This Day." All the processions coming to town carried numerous banners with mottoes, the tenor of all being, "69 Cents or Bust." At noon about ten thousand people were gathered at the Ball Park, and the streets of the town were still crowded. Every train dropped five to twenty car loads of people. The big miners' meeting probably was the last of the great strike. It was one final struggle for "69 or Bust," and before this paper reaches its readers the strike will probably be over and the miners at work again at 64 or 69 cents. Thursday brought hundreds of beringed, swarthy Romans and Magyars from Tom Run ans such places where they work, and they made a picturesque street crowd. If Friday's crowds exceed those of Thursday, we shall have difficulty in caring for all.

Married at Wellsburg, August 17, 1914, Miss Ruth WELSH and Clarence BROCKMAN. *Midway column

Miller's Run Harvest Home The Best Meeting Ever Held in the Old Calvinistic Neighborhood. A Feast of Reason and a Flow of Soul. On the 26th ult., at Miller's Run Presbyterian Church, assembled for the annual Presbyterian (P., U. P. and R. P.) Reunion, at that place, at least 1,500 people--residents of that section and their distant friends who came to rejoice over the gathering of a plentiful harvest and the continued material, a mental and moral progress of a country where Presbyterians have held undisputed sway for more than a century. Cecil, Chartiers and Mt. Pleasant townships in all past time have had only Presbyterian congregations with people that persisted in having the Bible used as a text book in the public schools and the "Shorter Catechism"--an abstract of the Westminster Confession of Faith--as carefully committed by their children as the Multiplication Table. There are three distinct sects of Presbyterians in these beautifully wooded and watered and rich limestone hills, but the differences between them are so small that they have no difficulty in meeting at such reunions ! and on Sabbaths and at Sacraments they are often found listening to the same preacher and joining in worship at the same communion table. The Covenanters, U. P.'s and "Old School Presbyterians" always easily united in church exercises, in school education, in neighborhood improvement, in social enjoyment, in the main points of their political creeds; and their sons have often been found brigaded together and shoulder to shoulder on the battle field, rushing with yells upon an enemy's volleying batteries. These Scotch-Irish are the best people in the world. Well, ... they came together at "Old Dr. SMITH's" Church, on the forest-capped summit a mile sough of Venice and a mile north of "Mr. SLATER's Covenanter Church. This was the fourth annual reunion. Robert D. HAMILTON, one of the elders, was made President. Rev. Mr. PARKINSON made an address of welcome, and Rev. Dr. ANDERSON, the Venice U. P. pastor who has labored in this field for forty years, responded. The noted BROWN brothers--Rev. Dr. W. F., Rev. A. B., Finley, who is a physician, and Henry and Neven, farmers--all sons of the late Dr. Alexander BROWN and grandsons of "Old" Dr. Mathew BROWN--these famous singers charmed the audience with their music. The Bridgeville Cornet Band was there also. Then Scotch-Irish ministers were present--all finely educated and accomplished men that would command respect in any court in Europe or in any scientific, literary or theological coterie in the world, each one of them and "Ian MACLAREN," the strongest, the brighte! st and the most admirable character found among the sons of men. They were, Rev. Dr. W. D. IRONS, Rev. Dr. A. R. ANDERSON, Rev. Dr. W. F. BROWN, and the Rev. A. B. Brown, PARKINSON, MCDONALD, PATTON, SHRODES, MCBURNEY. Miss Kate MCBURNEY, the fartraveled and experienced missionary, was also there. Present to were Mrs. LINDSEY and Mrs. DOUGLASS, both of McDonald, the former 86 years old, the widow of Wm. LINDSEY and the mother of a large and well-doing family, and the latter 88 years old, the widow of Robert DOUGLASS, the long-ago stonemason, and the mother of T. Martin DOUGLASS. Both these aged women and their families, for half a century, attended church here. A volume would be needed to record all the pleasant incidents of the day that occurred over the bountiful feast tat was spread. It was like an oasis in the life of everyone there, and the day will always be remembered with pleasure.

CLARK David M. CLARK died at his home in Carnegie on Friday, August 13, 1897. He was a member of Arlington Lodge No. 111 K. of P., Sturgeon, Pa. This info was gleaned from a Resolution of Respect from the Lodge

The Fort Pitt Brick and Stone Works Co. has 25 acres in its plant, a mile this side of Carnegie. The capacity is 60 brick a minute. The quarry and brick works employ fifty men.

WILTSHIRE, MANANDISE The remains of Mrs. WITLSHIRE, the victim of the Primrose tragedy, were taken to McKees Rocks for interment. Coroner JOHNSON here to investigate the WILTSHIRE and MANANDISE deaths. You'd think that if the coroner was investigating the deaths, there would be more information.

Blanche McGowan was born Mar 1892 Carnegie she had a son named George (no birth date for him) I don't think Blanche married her parents are John & Elizabeth McGowan Blanche is my 3x Aunt and this is all I know about her. I believe she stayed in the Carnegie area. hope someone may know something about them. Sherry
