On Friday Harry McKee, a West Penn engineer, saved a little child from being ground to death under the wheels of his train, east of Vandergrift.

He acted promptly and stopped his train within but a few revolutions of the driving wheels from where the child was lying.

Gets a Good Thing 1 J. B. Logan has been made an assistant sergeant-at-arms for the national Democratic convention, to be held in Kansas City July 4, and may be made a doorkeeper. This gives him the privilege of the floor and will no doubt enable him to care for some of his friends. It is quite an important (Kan.) Republican.

James R. Logan is well known in Indiana. He is a son-in-law of the Hon. John D. Patton, former member of Congress, and James is a Democrat.

If their is any trouble that comes within the province of the sergeant-at-arms to subdue he will be found at the right time and place to take a hand. A Converted Chinaman.

The Indiana Anti-Saloon League met in regular session Sunday evening in the Lutheran church.

G. T. Reynolds, Rev. J. M.

Welch and Rev. D. M. Kinter. The latter gentleman mentioned in the course of lis talk that it was a crime against the church for a church member to sign a petition for license, and the subject was discussed to a considerable extent but no definite action taken.

Rev. Reynolds said that the general encouragement given the temperance cause throughout she country should prove an incentive to continue the work, and that the temperance movement would be actively pushed in Indiana. 9 Old Boatmens' Reunion.

A large number of Jefferson county farmers, after disposing of their coal lands in Jefferson county, bought farms in Indiana and Armstrong counties to get away from the coal operations. Most of them were able to buy better farms than they had and have considerable money The Courier is Only Guessing'. Blairsville Courier, June In spite of the fact that Judge White's term does not expire for upwards of three years, yet it may be said that the question of who shall succeed him is already a burning one, and the campaign for judicial honors has already begun.

The chances are that there will be an unusually large number of candidates in the field, in fact it may be said that every prominent member of the Indiana county bar is a candidate. Judge White has practically announced that he is a candidate for re-election, while Samuel Cunningham, Hon. S. M. Jack, D.

Blair Taylor, Hon. John S. Fisher, S. J. Telford and perhaps J.

N. Banks, are also regarded as likely candidates. It is known that some of those named are already at work repairing fences and recruiting voters, and from now on no stone will be left unturned to gain some advantages in the way of securing the nomination. The coming judiciary campaign promises to be an exceedingly lively, one, anc it will be difficult to pick a winner. In one sense of the word Judge White is stronger that he was lyhen he made the race before, and those yrho regard Min as hopelessly'out of it will likely beijad; The Bakers Sleet.

Representatives of the Baker heirs meet in Philadelphia to-day. The Indiana county branch of the organization will be represented by Barney W. Miller, of Advance, Washington township, who left for the Quaker City yesterday. Many millions of dollars are involved, and will likely remain in that condition for a long time. A Visitor From Japan.

Mr. A. Nomi, a mining expert residing in Tokio, Japan, is in this country inspecting the different mining systems in operation in America.

The new priest is a German, and the farm attached to the Catholic.church is worked by Dutch young fellows, sons of George the neighbors are all pleased, especially Paul Hamil. Paul, will superintend the burnip crop in that region this season, as usual. Want the Diamond Drill. The eastern capitalists who have in lonteniplation the purchase of the coal under lease by John McGaughey in the southern end of the county, are evidently in earnest.

A message was received by the diamond drill owners yesterday asking them to name a price for testing the field. This is significant, and coupled with other news, means a whole lot to the al owners in Center, Blacklick, Oone- maugh and Young townships. Jefferson County Primary. The Jefferson county Republicans held their primary on Saturday. The ticket nominated is Dr.

S. S. Hamilton, of Punxsutawney, for assembly; James V. Murray, of Clayville, for district attorney, and W. H.

Shilling, of Ringgold, for jury commissioner. Hamilton, the Quay candidate, had a plurality of 600 over Foust, anti-Quayite, and Duns- inore, independent. The county convention, which met on Monday to compute the vote, was controlled by the friends of Quay. County Chan-man Kurtz was re-elected by acclamation. Southern Coal Territory.

The coal fields in portions of Cone- xnaugh, Blacklick and Center townships will probably be put to the diamond drill test next week. The operations will cover options held by Hon. John McGaughey. John M. Leech, said to a MESSENGER man on Saturday that tie had nothing to say for publication, although he admitted that he was awaiting instructions from eastern capitalists with whom he was in consultation.

A sale of this coal now appears hopeful. A Big Concern. The Prairie State Incubator company, at Homer City, owned and operated by A. F. Cooper and J.

L. Nix, is the largest concern of its kind in the world, and an industrial establishment which Indiana county may well be proud of. About 125 men are constantly employed in the different departments and the wages paid are above the average. The office force consists of eight, persona, which includes five typewritiers who are constantly employed in the vast correspondence necessary in the conduct of the business. Within the past 12 months the company has shipped 21,000 incubators and brooders to aU sections of the United States and also to Russia, Turkey England, France and Germany.

Special agencies have been established in London and Berlin, Germany. Germany has established a W9rld-wide reputation as a chicken producing country and has found Indiana county incubators a great assistance in its business. The Prairio State people have issued a catalogue. The edition was 100,000 copies, at a cost of Five thousand of these catalogues will be sent to the managers of the Paris Exposition for distribution during the coming summer. The company advertises in all the leading magazines, and trade papers throughout the United States.

An appropriation exceeding $23,000 per year is made for this purpose. The business of the concern at present is excellent, and difficulty is experienced' in keeping up with the orders which pour in every day. At the close of last season's business 2,000 machines were left in stock. To-day the books show that these have all been sold and business has increased 100 per cent. Mr.

Cooper, the senior member of the firm, 'said to a. MESSENGER reporter on Friday, in answer to a question; "This is the largest concern of its kind in the world. So far this year we have made and sold 14,000 incubators and brooders. We cannot keep up with the demand, and our already large plant will soon have to be enlarged." John Jamison, one of the company employes, has invented a labor-saving device for varnishing the legs of incubators brooders. It formerly required about one 'minute to varnish one of these, but by this new arrangement eight can be varnished in the same length of time.

Mr. Jamison refused to apply for a patent for this invention; but kindly donated.its -useful services to Messrs. Nix. SEE Hildebrahd's. Hammocks before you buy.

Ladies' wine colored shoes and Oxfords. Shoes, Hall Retires From the Ministry. The MESSENGER last week briefly noted the fact that the Rev. Dr. Hall, of this place, at a congregational meeting, asked the consent of his church to resign his charge.

This request was preferred in the following letter: DEAR form of government, chapter 17, provides that, "When any ninister shall labor under such grievances in ids congregation as that he shall desire leave to resign his charge," he shall do so, My rexjuest to be made in presbytery at its meeting June 19th, in which request you are asked join, is not based on any "grievance." On contrary, my appreciation of the kindness and steadfast loyalty of my people, through all long years is more than can be expressed words. My reasons for making the request are )riefly First. My long turn of service in the minis- nearly one-half century now, without any ntermission, except a month's vacation occasionally, so that like Whitfield, "I am weary sometimes, not of the work, but "in" the work." Second. The long term of my natural life, nearly three-fourths of a century, having massed six months ago my 72nd milestone, an age at which duty to myself and the cause, would seem to demand that the wprk should pass into younger hands and steadier nerves. Third.

My steadfast purpose, often publicly expressed, never to allow myself to come to a stage in my public ministry when complaint might arise as to "the infirmities of old age," which so often do arise. Fourth. The fact that The Charge is in bet- condition for a transfer than it ever was in ts history before: The missionary societies, she Sabbath School, the C. the mid-week meetings, in a more healthy and prosperous condition than ever before. The records of last ten years show 563 admitted to the ihurch, an average of 56 annually, 270 of these on profession of faith, with 45 adult baptisms.

This, with a harmonious people, ought to make slain sailing for a new man. These, in brief, are the reas9ns for the request I make of you to-day to join in my petition to the presbytery to be released from the charge I have held for more than 26 years now. you see your way clear to do so the presbytery doubtless will grant my request, and allow me to enter on a bit of rest (which possibly I have earned) before "I go hence and be no more." If you fall in with my request allow me to 3eg as a personal favor that you adopt none of the customary If my fourth- century work cannot speak for me, resolutions would be worse than useless. Simply say you join in my request because I ask it. Very sincerely yours, D.

HALL. A committee was appointed at the meeting and instructed to request the withdrawal of the Doctor's resignation and suggesting that he might be relieved to some extent by an assistant. The waited upon Dr. Hall, and in reply he submitted the following: To the proposition of the congregation in its meeting of June 12th, so generous in substance and so cordial in spirit, it seems ungracious, almost ungrateful, to make aught else than an affirmative reply. And yet, after a careful review of the whole situation, having the best interests of the congregation in view, not overlooking what seems due to myself in the circumstances, I am constrained to adhere to my original purpose ex pressed in my letter of the 12th.

inst, and ask you to be good enough to unite in the request contained therein and elect a commissioner to convey that assent to the presbytery. It might suffice simply to announce my final decision and ask your assent, but it is, perhaps, due to myself and demanded by your generous and large-hearted proposition that I add a word. And, first: It might be hard to get a first-rate man (and you want no other) to take the place of an assistant on the salary suggested, with the uncertainties as to the succession on the final retirement of the pastor; and second: In the arrangement so cordially suggested your pastor would still have the cares, anxieties and responsibilities of a large congregation in all the vicissitudes of church life, with gradually failing powers, the very condition he deprecates most of all; the church handicapped thus in its work, under an assistant of possibly not first -rate quality, and a pastor of -gradually weakening force. For a united people, on the other hand, the church work at high tide in all departments, under a strong leader with undivided responsibility, the past would be only a promise of the future by the very law of evolution. Moreover, the strain on your financial resources in adequate salaries for pastor and assistant might have undesirable consequences.

I speak from some experience in a former pastorate. I shall allow the ties which have bound me to the town and my people for one-fourth of a century to be sundered with a keener sense of regret and loss than, perhaps, you can ever know. But I shall hope to visit you often, and mayhat), preach for you sometimes, and have you visit me in a home I shall aim to make beautiful for you, and, like Tennyson's dying girl to her mother, "Be often, often with you, when you think I'm far away." Dr. Theodore L. Cuylerin a "Loving Tribute" to that incomparable preacher, Kichard S.

Storrs, says "He died at the right time; his great work was complete; he did not linger to outlive himself." Wishing you grace, mercy- and. peace -wit-K divine guidance, I am gratefully and cordially, Your Pastor, D. HALL. Sadness will enter many households as a result of Dr. Hall's retirement from bhe ministry and removal to another place in which to spend his remaining lays.

His quarter of a century's work in the service of the Master in Indiana deserves more than passing notice, and the congregation owes it to itself to prepare a fitting memoir of the man and tiis work. The language in which this biography is written need not be stilted. The simple details of the aged minister's work from week to week will be enough. There was no call in the line of duty to bis people and in the service to which tie devoted the best years of his life to which he did not respond. At the bedside of the sick, in the house of mourning, in every emergency and contingency of life where his presence was desired tiis response was always "I am here to do for you all I can." Neither his sin- erity or singleness of purpose can be doubted.

May his "bit of rest" go on for many years and the final peace, which is beyond understanding, be his for all eternity. At the meeting of Presbytery yesterday at Marion Center the pastoral rela- iions between the congregation at Indiana and Dr. Hall were dissolved. Company 47th, in a Hot Fight. A detachment of Company 47th United States Volunteers, stationed at Bulan, Philippine Islands, had a lively fight with the insurgents on March 30.

The Americans were under the command of Captain Charles C. McLain, of this place. The Manila "American" of April 10, gives an extended account of the affair. The detachment was hiking after Vtoqdy of insurgents who were re- a narrow mountain trail, not far from the city of Bulusan. "Suddenly without any warning," reads the account, "great boulders came crashing down the mountain side.

Huge slabs of stone and jagged rocks, hurled from 600 feet above, battered the face of the cliff and threatened death to every one who Tossed their path. High above the crashing thunder of the falling boulders ame the yells of defiance from the insurgents. One of the first rocks that was thrown struck Captain McLain to the ground and before he could rise another struck him on the hip. But scrambling, to his feet, he ordered a charge straight up the mountain side. And bravely the men responded.

Up over the boulders, across chasms, pulling and. dragging themselves up the precipice by and vines, losing their footing for an instant only to seize the ground and-dash, on again. At every opportunity they stopped to pour death into the ranks of the insurgents. At last the crest was reached and the in- surreetos were driven down the other side of the mountain. As Captain McLain was coming back the insurgents tried an ambush on the party.

At the sound of a whistle from then: leader the rebels dashed out on the Americans Unfortunately for them this was Cap. tain McLain's signal to "open fire" an- before the leader of the ladrones took a dozen steps he had been shot four But this charge was so strong that one of the soldiers was knocked from: the trail. The others had followed their leader's example and charged out of their hiding places. But death met them as they came.

Criminal court closed rather abruptly. a time it seemed as if tlie business would overwhelm the two judges, who were both holding sessions of court, one in the main auditorium and the other in the rooms of the law association. But matters adjusted themselves suddenly. Two civil cases were on the list for trial and attracted a great deal of attention. In the case of F.

M. Graff and Wilbur P. Graff vs. G. M.

Doty, action in eject- ment, and in the matter of F. M. Graff and Wilbur Graff for the appointment of viewers to view a right of way for a lateral railroad through the premises of G-. M. Doty.

After the trial of the first case in which case a verdict was directed by the court in favor of the plaintiff and consuming almost another day in the trial of the second case a settlement was reached by which the plaintiffs agreed to pay Mr. Doty the sum of $1500 for the right of way and numerous other privileges, each party to pay his own witnesses, the plaintiff to pay the record costs and the defendant to pay the costs in the ejectment. In the criminal court Judge McConnell, of Greensburg, presided. The case heard by His Honor was the Com. vs.

Samuel Risinger, Mary Senack, pros- ecutrix, charging assault and battery with intent to kill. The action arose over a disputed title to a piece of land, each party trying to get possession. It was alleged by the Slavish women that the defendant came on their land, knocked down a shanty belonging to the prosecutrix or her husband, and threatened to shoot her. and did snap a revolver two or three times at her, holding the weapon close to her breast. This was denied by the defendant, who said he had title to" the land; that he did destroy the shanty but made no assaults and did not try to kill the -woman with the revolver.

Mrs. Duncan, an eye witness, corroborated his story. There was much mixed English in the case as well as much mixed testimony, but the jury decided to find the defendant not guilty and the prosecutrix pay the costs. A number of surety of the peace cases grew out of this suit, but Judge McConnell disposed ef them very quickly. In the case of the Com.

vs. Peter Senack, the defendant was sentenced to pay the costs. In the case against Samuel Risinger, Peter Senack, prosecutor, costs divided equally. In the case against Mary Senack costs divided. The Slays did not seem to be delighted with then: attendance at court.
