WE clip the following from the Johnstown Tribune of Friday last, "The inhabitaats of the section of country cos'-igions to Nineveh Station and Armagh are considerably escrcised over an elopement that is alleged to have taken place there within the past two weeks. The parties to the affair are Harry Rodgers, a man thirty years of age' and Miss Lizzie Hutchinson, about twenty-four years of age, daughter of Mr. Samuel Hutchinson, of near Armagh. It is about two weeks since Miss Hutchinson boarded a train at Nineveh for the west, and it is about the same length of time since Rodgers left home, presumably taking the same train at Blairsville intersection which Miss Hutchinsen had taken at Nineveh. The destination of the supposed elopers is not known, but supposition seems to have settled on Dakota.

"Rodgers is the supposed owner of the famous picnic grounds at Nineveh, although they belong in fact to the Fronheiser heirs, of this place, who hold a mortgage of $4,000 against them. He has a wife and one child. The family formerly lived near the picnic grounds, but since her mother died a few months f.go, Mrs. Rodgers has been at the home of her father, Wm. Trindle, about a mile from Nineveh.

She is, of course, almost distracted. Rodgers recently was in town, and bought clothing from one of our dealers amounting to $56, for which the dealer trusted him, supposing that be was all right. Miss Hutchinson was a school teacher. She is a fine-looking woman, and up to the present occurrence had borne an irreproachable name. Her parents are fairly wild with grief in consequence of the waywardness of their daughter.

They have not taken any steps to bring her back. "Sentiment in the community is greatly against Rodgers, and the assertion is freely made that he ought to be tarred and feathered." THE will of John Cummins, deceased, of Washington township, was filed April, 22. It was executed in 1883. He makes distribution of his estate as follows: The first bequest is 25 acres of land to James A. McKnight, said land adjoining property now owned by Mr.

McKnight. To his nephew, W. C. Gordon, $500 and 20 shares of stock of the Farmer's Bank; to his nephew, Jas. A.

Gordon, $500 and 20 shares bank stock; to his neice, Ellen May Earhart, wife of Isaac Earhart, $800; to John Earhart, son of Ellen May Earhart to his sister.Margaret F. Guthrie, $500 and 30 shares of bank stock; to his nephew, Jno. C. and 20 shares of bank stock te his T.Clark; and 20 shares of bank stock) to his niece, Charlotte Clark; 10 shares bank stock to J)is niece, -Margaret Herron; $300; to John Herron, son of Margaret Herron, $700; to his nephew Wm. C.

McKnight, $400; to Wm. McKnight, jr. son of W. C. McKnight, $500; to his nephew, Jas.

A. McKnight, 8700; to Mary McKnight, daughterof J. A. McKnight, $250. The balance of the estate is to be divided into four equal parts and is disposed of as follows: One fourth to his sister Margaret Guthrie one-fourth to the heirs of his sister Susaa McKnight; one-fourth to the heirs of his deceased sister, Jane Clark, and one-fourth to the heirs of his deceased sister, Ellen Gordon.

Jas. A. McKnight, W. C. Gordon and Wm.

T. Clark were named as executors. Mr. McKnight, owing to the loss of his eye sight, resigned and the estate will be settled by Messrs. Gordon and Clark, The personal estate amounts to about $22,000, mostly in bank stock and money.

The real estate consists of some 600 acres of land. WE are indebted to Mr. D. S. AHman, agent of the Lower Brule Indians, Dakota, for a copy of a lively little paper called the "lapa Oaye," printed in the Choctaw language.

The paper is very full of interesting intelligence. We quote the following personal notice: "Miniskuya mde ekta dehan Tawicuota wicasa nina wicakuwapi. Wanji George Cannon eciy pi kaskapi. Inalini omani kta cin qa mazaska kektopawinge wikcemna nonpa saupa zaptan ($25,000.) eknaka qa, Wakdi sni kinhan dena duha kta ce eye, iyowinkiyapi, unkan kdi sni najica." A free translation of this reads as follows "The Lower Brule Indian agent, D. S' Altman, has all the ear-marks of a much- married Mormon.

He has no hair on his even a little scalp lock for a cent. His squaws have divided up his capillary substance among. Gep. Q. Cannon, the Mormon has nineteen wives.offers our agent $25,000 to trade heads with him." From this it will be seen that our old friend Altman is getting to be worth a good deal of money.

THE case of Armstrong county vs. Westmoreland county to recover $4,896, the amount claimed as due from Westmoreland county for the construction of the joint bridge at Apollo was taken up for trial in our-court on Monday of last week. Judge Williams, of Tioga county, occupied the bench on account of Judge White being disqualified by having acted as counsel in a previous trial, on which occasion a verdict was granted in favor of Armstrong county. A new trial was then asked for and granted. The case occupied the time of the court till Friday evening when it was given to the jury.

About one o'clock the jury agreed to a verdict which was taken on Saturday morning at the opening of court, Armstrong county was again successful the verdict being in their favor for $6,184. The costs will amount to several hundred dollars. MBS. DR. HIEBER, of taken to Dr.

Simpson, suffering from an old and obstinate catarrhal affection of the nose and throat, which had wrecked her health, and was attended with sleeplessness, loss of appetite, vomiting and other symptoms which rendered her life a burden. Prominent physicians pronounced the disease and said she would probably net recover. But now, after only two weeks' treatment by Dr. Simpson, she has recovered her appetite, does not vomit, sleeps well and says she has been improving since 'the first day of treatment, and she is in good spirits. Her an accomplished physician, although he at first of her recovery, now has no doubt but that she is going to get entirely well.

Dr. Simpson can be consulted regarding all diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat at the American House, Indiana, on Tuesday, May 11. Do not feed the miserable tramps that flood the country. The Westmoreland Democrat relates the following characteristic story of the ubiquitous pests: "Four artful tramps worked a new dodge successfully on a family in Ludwick which exemplifies the monstrous gall of that nomadic fraternity in the efforts to raise a square meal. They called at the house of George Weimer and stated that they were employed on the gas pipe line and desired boarding.

They were taken in, given a supper, lodging and their breakfast, after which a bountiful dinner was prepared and placed in a basket They took the basket and started to work and since which time nothing has been seen or heard of them." SOME of the Homer City and Two Lick Knights of Labor, who made things lively about the mills in that locality, through the newspapers, are inow working on the pipe line in Westmoreland county at $1,25 per day. The work is harder and the wages less than they obtained from the mill owners, besides when working on the mills they had their board at home. They blindly fallowed the ad rice of their leaders, and now when the winter of their discontent is upon them the aforesaid "leaders" do not come to the rescue.

There was Sled in the office of the Register and Recorder at Clearfield yesterday a deed of absolute conveyance transferring property to John founder of DuBois, Clearfield the value of aboui eight million his favorite nephew. John E.

DaBois, The deed bears date January 17, 1884, so that, although for more than two years young John DuBois has been in his uncle's employ, taking orders from whatever Superintendent he chanced to be working has been the actual owner of the entire property. Nobody knows it but himself and his uncle. The senior DuBois, who is seventy-seven years is well known, been seriously ailing lately, and decided to make the deed public. The only consideration in the deed is that John E. DuBois shall pay all debts and fill all 'contracts his uncle may make till the day of his death.

His purpose in making the deed was to make sure that his business should go on in single and absolute ownership, just as he had conducted it for the period of twenty years, after his death, and that the eight hundred workmen in his employ should not be distressed by the stoppage or embarrassment of his enterprise. The deed makes no mention of any of the other heirs, of whom there are a great many, John DuBois being the only bachelor in a family of fourteen. It is left entirely to the conscience of John E. DuBois whether any of them shall ever have any share in the estate or not. The young man is about twenty-five years old and unmarried.

He was educated at Chester Military Academy. John DuBois stood easily at the head of the lumber business of Pennsylvania. It is doubtful if there is any man between Maine and Michigan who owned more timber land and cut more timber than he did. Every year he cut and sawed about thirty-six million feet of boards, enough to build the dwelling houses of a town of ten thousand people. He owned at the time of his death thirty-three thousand; acres of land in one connected body about his town of which there is standing about three hundred and fifty million feet of white pine lumber, beside many million feet of hemlock.

About eight thousand acres of it is underlaid with a valuable vein of coal, being on the western side of the Reynoldsville basin. Beside his large buildings in Clearfield county, John DuBois had a ene-fourth interest in a tract of seventy thousand acres in West Virginia, which the axe has never touched, and large real-estate interests in Havre De Grace and Williamsport. At DuBois, where he has lately lived, he had mill improvements worth three-quarters of a million dollars. When he wentj there.ten or twelve years ago, there were only three houses in the town. It sprang up without waiting for the lumber to dry.

-It now has seven thousand population. John DuBois began life with almost no capital, and was a raftman on the Susquehanna at the age of seventeen. His inventive genius helped him greatly. His mills are full of his devices. Whenever he found an impediment in his path, he invented something to overcome it.

He recently recovered $30,000 from the Baltimore Ohio Railroad Company for the use of his patent for deepwater foundations. He owned the fine hotel and half the property in the town of DuBois, and had just completed a new opera house, the finest in the State outside or Philadelphia and Pittsburg. He got the first start in his fortune by investing in cheap timber lands, and the secret of his large profits in recent years has been the perfection of his machinery and the variety of his products, which enabled him to use up the timber he cut and avoid waste and middlemen's profits. He manufactured houses and shipped them, all fitted and complete, so that a hatchet and nails were all that were required to put them together at their destination. A rough pine lost brought from the woods to his mill, over his own line of railroad.came out at the end of the works in the shape of boxes, boards, lath, and barrel heads.

Every scrap was turned to profit. There was no wast except splinters and sawdust. His works at DuBois have capacity of eighty-five thousand feet of lumber, six thousand boxes, five thousand barrel-heads, and sixty thousand shingles per day, beside a hemlock mill with a capacity of forty thousand feet a large tannery and machine shop. He had a farm of one thousand acres, employed eight hundred men, and knew every one oi them. He had been seriously ill for several months, and recently had Dr.

Agnew, of Philadelphia, taken up to DuBois on a special train. He stayed just thiity-five minutes. Though a man of warm heart and genial disposition. Mr. DuBois never married.

He never used liquor or tobacco. From Crete. EDS. and vicinity furnishes some items this week: The farmers have taken advantage of the recent fine weather to sow oats. D.

W. Davis is ready to plant his corn but as he is the only Greenbacker we have, that may account for his being so far ahead. Mr. Thomas Carnahan, who has been south, engaged in the lumber business, lias returned home on a visit. He lumber trade in that section as booming.

J. W. Henderson and Morrison Carnahan are busy working on a clearing. They make a pretty strong team, but when there is any dealing to be done they both need to keep their eyes open. The Ladies Society which met at Crete on the 28th was a most interesting affair.

From the begin- ing to the end the members and a large number of spectators took a deep interest in the proceedings. It was almost exclusively a business meeting and the lady officers gave us a sample of how to read minutes, form resolutions, amend by-laws and sticking to them till they got them right, that some of our presbyteries might follow with advantage and profit. Among officers and members there appeared to be a realization of the responsibility and a desire to accomplish the work they had undertake! for the Master. May they have the assistance they desire. The congregation gave us a most excellent dinner.

I will not try to describe it. It was in the Crete style and that is as good as the best and needs no futher recommendation. We all ate and were full and some time after, in passing a table I noticed a huge pile of chicken, pies and we thought if the Junior of the MESSENGER had been here then some of the good things could be used profitably you In this connection it is proper to say that J. W. Henderson and Wm.

Ray, who cut the wood to boil the coffee, that as choppers they are a the table. But Wm. Ray is opposed to driving after night and Elmer. Henderson being a bashful youth (perhaps fearing the seven women he had read of)did not wait for their quota of ladies. But G.

W. Simpson, in the kindness of his heart, took the balance of the delegates in his hack, thus crowding it to such an extent that some who saw him start were anxious lest he would not reach his destination in safety. As a whole, it was an enjoyable oc cassion and we would like to go again. ONE WHO WAS THERE. Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat.
