The Tribune, Hastings, PA, FRI 7 DEC 1894, VOL. VI, NO. 46 Page 5, Column 1 JUST AROUND TOWN Short Items of an Interest Peculiarly Local Your attention is called to the new "ad" of A. W. Glasser, in another column. On Monday the Court appointed Frederick Reininger Tax Collector in Gallitzin Borough. Mr. J. B. Decker, returned on Wednesday from Altoona where he had been on business. Mrs. L. L. Brown is at a Philadelphia hospital underground treatment for an ailment of the throat. Miss Mattie Irwin, a charming young lady from Clearfield, is visiting Mrs. L. J. Shunkwater in this place. We congratulate the Johnstown Tribune on important improvements recently made in that excellent paper. Messrs. J. A. Baird and J. Harris, of Duncansville, visited at the residence of Dr. Baird in this place this week. D. C. Foster, publisher of the Keystone Travelers Guide, was a pleasant caller at this office on Thursday morning. Miss Eleanor Clark has opened a dancing school at Mahaffey, in addition to that she is conducting in this place. Mr. John E. Wainwright, who was recently seriously hurt by falling from a chair at his home in this place, is recovering. Rev. Chas. W. Wasson, Pastor of the M. E. church in this place, is conducting a very successful revival at Patton this week. The Christmas season is rapidly approaching, and we would remind some of our readers that it is a good time to pay up that subscription. A number of citizens of Allegheny Township have instituted proceedings in court to oust John P. Hertzog from the office of Supervisor in that Township. Mr. Thos. E. McHugh, of Houtzdale, visited at the resident(sic) of his father in this place this week. He was accompanied by Mrs. McHugh and their child. An attempt was recently made to burn an old covered bridge over the river at Mahaffey. Coal oil was poured on the structure and a match applied, but it failed to burn. Miss Annie Callahan, one of our best teachers, has been ill at her home in Chest Springs since her return from the Institute. As a consequence there has been no school in her room this week. A fierce looking placard written in a foreign language and adorned with skull and cross bones in red ink was nailed on a tree box on Beaver Street on Tuesday night. It attracted considerable attention. Did you ever hear that you could get a stem-winding and stem-setting watch, which is guaranteed for excellent time-keeping, at the low price of $3.35 at Ike Wartelsky's Jewelry Store, Hastings, Pa.? On Sunday evening Max Phillp(sic), and Miss Annie Freeman, of Barnesboro, were married at Altoona by Rabbi Lipshitz, of the Jewish Synagogue in that city. The groom is a well known merchant at Barnesboro. People who claim to be familiar with the signs of winter agree in predicting an unusual amount of cold and snow for the reason we have just entered. The reliability of their predictions remains to be tested. A number of our leading citizens have been subpoenaed to Ebensburg next week to assist the court in determining whether a piano in the opera house here belongs to Work & Young, of Indiana, or to E. F. Spencer, of Hastings. It is said that a certain very respectable young lady in this place has referred to the Postoffice Department a scurrilous letter which was recently sent to her by a young man in this place. If this is true it may be a costly piece of meanness for the author of the letter. Mrs. Joseph Deitrick, wife of Joseph Deitrick formerly assistant Postmaster at Houtzdale, died very suddenly on Tuesday morning at her home in Altoona, of neuralgia of the heart. Deceased was a sister of Mr. Johson Vandusen, of this place, and is well known to many of our citizens. We notice that a good many of our exchanges in writing up the recent dedication of the Cherrytree monument, copied without a credit a long article on the subject, which was published in the TRIBUNE when work began on the monument months ago. The article has traveled over the State pretty well, and perhaps our neighbors did not recognize it, for we know {last line blurred out}.
The Tribune, Hastings, PA, FRI 7 DEC 1894, VOL. VI, NO. 46 Page 1, Column 5 Sentence Day at Greensburg. GREENSBURG, Pa. Dec. 2 - In the criminal court here yesterday evening sentence of death was pronounced by Judge Doty on William Freeman, who murdered his supposed wife at Mt. Pleasant a few months ago. It was an affecting scene. It was the first death sentence ever pronounced by Judge Doty, and he was moved to tears, as were the court officers and the members of the bar. Frank Williams, who killed ex-Policeman John Adle, was sentenced to the penitentiary for 17 years and 5 months. Gust Rosencranz, who murdered a deputy sheriff at Moorwood, was given seven years in the penitentiary. John Stahlnecker, who killed Frederick Dodds, was sent to the Huntingdon reformatory. Harry Hatch, convicted of shooting Christopher Love, at Derry was sent to the workhouse for five months. Lizzie Long, convicted of concealing the death of her infant child was given 90 days in jail. - - - The Parents Objected. What is considered a very unusual, if not entirely unprecedented, case came up in the Blair County court at Hollidaysburg Saturday when Attorney Fisher, of that city, petitioned the court to appoint a guardian for Mary Belicher. The petition sets forth that the parents of the girl, who is not yet of age, decline to consent to her marriage to a young man who desires her. The appointment of a guardian is desired in order that he may authorize the taking out of a marriage license, which is now impossible owing to the opposition of the parents. The court has granted a rule to hear arguments on the matter December 10. - - - Ebensburg's New Brick Building. Last Saturday evening several business men of Ebensburg held a meeting and talked over the matter of constructing a three-story brick business building in that place. {note: right edge of paper torn, several words missing in 7 of the 13 lines of type} In all probability [blank} block will be erected, and it will be a good thing for the town. - - - Will Probably Open Again. It is said that the large coal mi{ne at} Welshdale, opened years ago {and} abandoned after $20,000 had been sunk in them, are about to be ope{ned} again. As it is said the coal faile{d to} sell before, this seems to be a cur{ious} time to reopen the mines, when {the} coal markets are glutted. There a{re} many curious wrinkles in the coa{l} business, however, and this may prove to be one of them. {note: right edge of paper torn, last few characters missing in 10 of the 11 lines of type, but filled in what appeared to make sense} - - - For Sale.

The Tribune, Hastings, PA, FRI 7 DEC 1894, VOL. VI, NO. 46 Page 1, Column 4 After Judge White. D. Blair Taylor, principal counsel for the Hon. John P. Blair, left Indiana Tuesday for Lancaster, where he will file with Attorney General W. U. Hensel the formal petition in the judgeship contest between Blair and Judge Harry White, in the Fourteenth judicial district. The petition to be filed with the state attorney general alleges that nearly 500 illegal votes were cast at the election and the petitioners believe that nine-tenths of them were cast for White; that many voters were bribed with money, whiskey, and promises to vote for him, and that the election laws in scores of instances were violated. The three common pleas judges nearest to Indiana will hear the case. They are Judge Barker, Cambria County; Judge Doty, Westmoreland, and Judge Reyburn, Armstrong. There has been intense feeling in Indiana County since the election, and it has grown more bitter and pronounced since the investigation made by the Blair people. The preliminary hearing in the contest will begin within 10 days or two weeks. Judge White's friends are gravely concerned. Some of the ballot boxes, it is alleged, have been tampered with since the election. No event since the formation of the county has so stirred up its citizens. - - - School Report.

I.. P. YAHNER - Teacher. - - - A Handsome Holiday Display. The jewelry store of Ike Wartelsky, on Beaver street, presents an unusually handsome appearance at this time, and is worthy of a visit from all who love the beautiful. The new Christmas stock contains almost everything one can think of, and a good many things not expected. Of course the special line at this season is Christmas gifts, and the assortment is numerous and beautiful, ranging in price from a few cents up to many dollars. All through the stock is evidence of exquisite taste, and any one who cannot find something to please them at this store is certainly very hard to please. Mr. Wartelsky has a reputation for square dealing and courteous treatment of customers which makes his store a pleasant and safe place to buy, and brings him trade from a long distance. Drop in to see him before Christmas. - - - For Thirty-five Cents. We have made arrangements whereby we can give those of our readers who want a first-class Democratic city weely(sic) during the coming campaign the New York Weekly World for 35 cents. The World is the best and most earnest of the great Democratic weeklies, and during the coming campaign no Democrat should be without. Only 35 cents for six months. This offer is made only to readers of THE TRIBUNE, and has for its object the circulation of sound Democratic doctrine. The price named is that quoted us by the paper to be used as a premium, and we will get nothing for postage or trouble. Show this offer to your friends, and some in with 35 cents and we will have the World sent to your address for six months. tf - - - Notice to Trespassers. Notice is hereby giving(sic) that all persons trespassing on my premises in Elder Township, for any purpose whatever will be dealt with according to law. Owners of stock are also warned to keep the same off of the above premises, otherwise it will be dealt with according to law: JOHN ENDLER.
The Tribune, Hastings, PA, FRI 7 DEC 1894, VOL. VI, NO. 46 Page 1, Column 3 How They Argued. Editor Hasson gives the following account of a recent debate between citizens of that place: David Scruder and Vallie Luttringer, two of our esteemed fellow citizens, got into an animated discussion on Wednesday evening over the result of the war between China and Japan and the position the United States would occupy in the settlement of the question. The discussion was short but animated, and when Scruder knocked Luttringer down it was thought by the audience to be a telling point. Somewhat dazed but not discomfited, Luttringer arose, and after some little reflection, retired to his shop, where, after conning over some new ideas and providing himself with a hammer, he returned to the scene. The concluding arguments were not noted for rhetorical display but they were effective and driven in with the hammer, which made a dent in Schruder's cranium, and he went down. When time was called Schruder was unable to respond and he was carried home. The burgess will act as umpire at their next meeting. - - - The Short Line Railroad. Mr. Frederick Irwin, real estate agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, arrived at Johnstown last week and as fast as deeds can be made out will pay for the land over which the right of way for a branch railroad from the main line to the Johnson Company works was secured some time ago. Mr. Irwin brought with him the information that at a meeting in Philadelphia on Tuesday of the board of directors of the Pennsylvania Company it was officially decided to build the proposed branch, and the appearance of Mr. Irwin there to pay for the land shows that the Company means business. The branch means very much to Johnstown, and there is universal rejoicing over the news. Besides the new railroad the deal includes a fine new depot for Johnstown. Active work may not begin, however, until spring. - - - A Well-known Visitor. Mr. Chas. J. McHugh, formerly a citizen of this place, but for several years past engaged in the newspaper business at Superior, Wisconsin, arrived in Hastings on Monday, accompanied by his little son, John. Mr. McHugh has leased this paper for a term of years, and will take charge of it on January 1st, 1894(sic), of which matter we shall have more to say in the future. His numerous friends are all glad to see him back, and will be equally glad to know that the years of his absence have used him and his family kindly. - - - Wonderful Bargains at Cook, Salmond & Cowden's. In addition to the attraction of countlers(sic) beautiful Holiday articles suited for gifts for old and young, this great house is offering the most remarkable bargains in Coats for ladies and children ever known in this country. Coats for children, 2, 3 and 6 years of age at 98c. and $1.49 each. Plush jackets for ladies $2.98. Ladies jackets as low as 98c. Plush capes 98c. Astrakhan coats $5.00. All their choice Millinery has been reduced greatly, their trimmed hats being reduced one-third. Take a trip to Altoona to Cook, Salmond & Cowden's and you will be able to please yourself and save money and see many beautiful things. - - - An Electric Light Scheme. Mr. Thos. J. McHugh, of Houtzdale, is in town this week looking over ground preparatory to establishing an electric light plant, which he will erect here by February 1st, 1895, in case the project received sufficient encouragement from our people. He has met with excellent success, so far, and has no doubt that he can secure contracts for 400 lights, the number necessary for the erection of a plant. - - - To The Public. Having purchased the entire stock of furniture lately owned by J. B. Decker, I am now prepared to offer the public bargains in furniture such as they have never before heard of in Hastings. The business will be conducted at the old stand, and I cordially invite the public to call and inspect my stock before purchasing elsewhere, Resp., ELLA M. DECKER, Hastings, Pa.
The Tribune, Hastings, PA, FRI 7 DEC 1894, VOL. VI, NO. 46 Page 1, Column 2 Court in Session. The regular December term of court began at Ebensburg on Monday morning, Judge Barker occupying the Bench. The term prmises(sic) to be the longest held in the county for years, as the criminal and civil lists are both exceptionally large. The time of the court on Monday was taken up in hearing motions and petitions presented by the members of the Bar. Lizzie Thompson proprietress of a palatial bawdy house in Johnstown was acquitted of a charge of selling liquor without a license, but ordered to pay the costs. The grand jury ignored the bill against Hiram Webb, for malicious mischief, and ordered the prosecutor, Daniel Allison, to pay the costs. Daniel had not the necessary cash about his clothes, and his credit was not good for the amount, so at present he is in jail. Jacob F. Smith was found guilty of assault and battery on his wife. Not yet sentenced. Samuel Snyder was found guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary one year and three months for receiving stolen goods. Harry Saylor pleaded guilty to larceny. William Yeager pleaded guilty to receiving stolen goods, and was sentenced to jail for ninety days from October 18th. A number of cases have been settled, including that of J. D. Ritter vs D. E. Notley. In the case of a road in Allegheny Township, an order to open the proceedings was refused and the costs put on the petitioners, except for remonstrances, depositors and their witnesses. - - - Reception at Barnesboro. Some time since Dr. J. Sloan Miller, of Barnesboro, was married to Miss Katie Hauk, of Purchase Line, Indiana County. The young lady's parents objected to her marriage on account of her youth, but the couple surmounted this difficulty by a quiet trip to Canada. On their return the people of Barnesboro, among whom the Doctor is very popular, gave them a magnificent reception at the Ritter House at which about forty couples of the most prominent society people of Northern Cambria were present. The reception was held on Monday night, and was a great social success. Dr. Rice and wife were among the guests from this place. - - - Work of a Sharper. The Second National bank of Altoona, which only recently reopened after having lost $100,000 through the peculations of the cashier, was victimized against last week out of $1,188 by a clever sharper. On Friday last a man giving the name of "Brown" deposited a New York draft for $1,200 in the bank. On Saturday he returned and stated that he could get 3 per cent interest on the money at another bank and that he would like to have it. The cashier paid him out $1,200 in cash and the man disappeared and has not since been seen. The draft was returned with the information that it was good for only $12 and that it had been very cleverly raised to $1,200. - - - Married. In St. Bernard's church, this place, on Thursday of last week, Mr. John McQueeney and Miss Maggie Nagle were united in marriage by Rev. Father Edwin, the pastor. The attendants were Mr. Milton Kirkpatrick and Miss Annie McQueeney. Both of the young people are well-known and esteemed, and they start out in life with the best wishes of a host of friends, among whom the TRIBUNE offers its congratulations, and hopes that their pathway may be smooth pleasant. - - - Notice. I still have quite a number of unsettled book accounts of the firm of Yothers & McNelis. All accounts not settled by December 1st, will likely be sold at auction to the highest bidder some time during the month of December. R. J. YOTHERS. 10-26-1m

Marilyn, My records show Philomena Yost (b. 29 Mar 1851) married to Francis Glasser (b. 15 Jan 1852). Francis was the son of Joannes Jacob Glasser and Francisca Hochreiter. Philomena was the daughter of Jacob Yost and Catherine. Francis and Philomena were married 07 Nov 1867 in Carrolltown. Chuck In a message dated 1/27/2013 2:16:48 A.M.

I spent a week or two at the Bellefonte Genealogy Library a few years ago and went through the Wagner research of Mrs. Spangler, who donated her home as a genealogy library and also donated her research.. She was on the same Wagner line as we are. She found the first Wagner emigrant was Matthias. A "relative,' Joann Dorner, also a Wagner descendant, told me to use Google and put in Lowery Family Genealogy and Kinship. I can't remember all the details, but I did find the original emigrants: Matthias Wagner married to Sara Jane McKee . Matthias Wagner was born in 1776 in Germany and died January 1862 in Liberty Township, Center County. He was buried in the Wagner Cemetery in Liberty Township. Liberty Township is the immediate predecessors to Clearfield County for our Wagner family.

Cambria Freeman, Feb. 13, 1874 Where Are We? Mr. Editor: In 100 years three millions of a population increased to forty-two millions or 14 times the original number. Now, if the next hundred years’ increase is in the same ratio, in 1976, the population of the United States will be five hundred and sixty eight millions. Where will they live and on what will they feed? Fifty years ago there was not a railroad in the United States except a tram road of a few miles in length. Now there are 70 thousand miles of railroad. According to this ratio of increase the number of miles, a hundred years hence would be incalculable. The same may be said of telegraph lines. There are now nearly 10 millions of boys over 6 years of age going to school in the United States. These will all be voters in 15 years, if they live. That is, they will be voters before 1890. Just think of an accession of 10 millions of voters! Where are we? How will the produce of the great West be transferred to the sea-board with such a grain producing population as must exist 100 years hence? These facts startle one, especially should such considerations awaken the rising generation to a preparation for this great future. Ten years ago, California did not produce a million bushels of wheat; now that State exports 20 millions of bushels annually. How much will it export in 10 or 20 or 100 years hence, when completely irrigated by means of canals? At the rate that coal is consumed, how long will it last, and what will 500 and 68 millions of people do for coal, wood, oil, etc., one hundred years hence? Or are we to presume that this ration will soon reach the zenith of prosperity and then decline as other nations have done? Have we arisen from monkeys to men and shall soon sink again to the old level of monkeys? When we take a review of the improvements in machinery within the last 50 years including steam, railroads, telegraphs and ocean cables, Alps and Hoosac tunnels, can we help wondering if inventive genius can go on another 50 or 100 years in the same ratio? Or will some earthquake burst us to atoms about the time that mind must cease to invent anything new? Will the next generation live to witness the wonderful progress in inventions that we have seen from the years 1800 to 1874? Or will some terrible catastrophe put a stop to this remarkable career? May not these fertile prairies and valleys become as arid at some future day, as are the wastes of Tadmor, the sands of Africa or the land that once flowed with milk and honey. May not some fearful pestilence sweep this dominant race from the face of the earth and leave the Western world more desolate than Columbus found it? These are reflections worthy the great subject of our future, and while they are startling, they afford no REVELATION of what we shall be, but merely fix the point of “where we are” in time and space.
