To Western Emigrants- As will be seen by reference to a card in another part of to-day's paper, a meeting of the Western Industrial colony will be held in the Masonic Temple, in this place, on next Thursday evening, the 25th inst. All those desirous of emigrating to the West, who wish to enroll themselves as members of this association will do well to be in attendance. We shall speak more at length upon this subject next week. ----------------- Accident- A son of John Harnish, of the Loop, about 9 or 10 years of age, met with an accident on Wednesday last which came very near resulting in his death. He was playing on the hay mow, when he accidentally slipped and fell, head foremost, upon the barn floor, a distance of 10 or 15 feet, producing a severe contusion of the brain. His injuries were properly treated by Dr. Landis and he is recovering as rapidly as possible. (Hol. Standard) ------------------------------- Thrown Off- The Hollidaysburg Branch train did not reach here this morning at the usual time, 5:50, having, when about a mile from town, come in collision with a tree which the storm had blown across the track, by which the locomotive and tender were thrown off the track. Fortunately nobody was hurt and but little damage was done. The tree must have lodged on the track just immediately before the train reached the spot, as the watchman had passed over the track but a few minutes before and found all right. --------------------------- Tyrone Topics A terrific dog fight took place on Main street yesterday afternoon, which called out about one-third of the citizens in our town. If the dogs had only succeeded in chewing each other up it would have been a good thing, but they didn't, and more's the pity. Mr. John Morrison, proprietor of the paper mill, has in contemplation the erection of some houses for the benefit of his employees. Mr. Morrison is one of the most progressive citizens of our State, and if we had a few more like him things would fairly hum in and around Tyrone. Constable Snyder didn't take the fellow who had been arrested for larceny, and who hailed from Shonenberger to Huntingdon after all. He couldn't be found when wanted, although your correspondent saw him as late as yesterday morning. We suppose he was not wanted very badly. The Ward House was imposed on by a couple of dead beats yesterday morning, the parties slipping away without settling their bills. One of them, a drummer from a Boston house, tried to play the bluff game by stating that he paid his bill to the clerk, but it didn't work worth a cent. However, he got away on the Day Express and thus saved one dollar and lost his honor, if he ever had any. Another hearing is take place at 'Squire Wareing's on Saturday, on the license business, when the squeezing process will be resumed. He looks to a great many as though the prosecution is running into a persecution, while on the other hand the Prohibition people think its the proper "caper." If this thing is to be repeated year after year it would be a great deal better for our community if all applicants were either granted license or none at all. Liquor drinking to excess is one of the great evils of the age, but there are other evils committed right here in Tyrone that are a great deal worse, but they are done under a bushel, and don't count. -------------------- Dead- Miss Catherine Beech, whom we noticed in our last issue as having been seriously injured by the cow catcher of a locomotive the evening the 18th ult., died from her injures about 8 o'clock P. M., on Friday last. At first when her system reacted she refused to allow amputation to be performed and would not consent until several days had elapsed. In the meantime mortification had commenced in both legs, and before a line of demarcation had formed a pre-requisite to amputation at that stage-her spirit fled from its frail tenement of clay. Her sufferings were intense, but we trust they have been to her but a prelude to an eternity of joy and happiness beyond the skies. Her remains were interred in the Lutheran Burying Grounds, in Collinsville, on Saturday last. -------------------------- Annie Whiteman PABlair Rootsweb List Administrator Annie Whiteman/Steve Patz Blair County Coordinators http://www.rootsweb.com/~pablair
