On Saturday morning limited express ran over a man named Edward Dwyer in Carney's tunnel, near Greensbirrg. He ran ahead, evidently expecting to reach the mouth of the tunnel in advance of the train.

The Somerset correspondent pf the Mcyersdale Commercial says: The surveyors returned Tuesday evening last after having examined the State line between Somerset county and Maryland. This is the first time the line has been run since first run by Mason and Dixon, one hundred and twenty-five years ago. The line is thirty-one miles ions and the surveyors were fifteen days going over it. They found thirty-six nounds at irregular distances, ranging from twenty-two to nine hundred and twenty rods apart; about twenty-live of which had been partially or totally thrown down by persons seeking the Indian relics they were supposed to contain. These mounds were formed of earth, stone, or both, and were from ten to twenty feet in diameter and three to live feet high some showing evidence of having been substantially and carefully erected; whilst others seemed to have been hurriedly thrown up; the latter were no doubt slighted while the workmen were playing hide-and-seek with the Indians.

The compass with which Mason aod Dixon run this line is in the possession of Dr. Wm. Collins of Somerset, and is now on exhibition in the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Another freight wreck occurred on main line this afternoon at almost the same place as did the one which we noted last week. This one was about two hundred feet nearer the station, and while not so large one as the other, was large enough to demonstrate how it could be done.

Altoona local freight was in the act of throwing some cars into side track when they concluded not to follow the rails but take to the ties instead. This worked all right for about one hundred feet, but alter that distance had been traversed one of the cars loaded with coke got down on the ground and turned its head towards the hill, while the one next to it left the trucks and laid over on its side, being utterly unmindful of the fact that-it was loaded with bark and that the bark would not be likely to get to its destination in that way. The third car attempted to cut up some capers also, but only succeeded in getting its front trucks off the track. Passenger trains both east and west detained a short time and had to be switched to a side track in order to pass the wreck. Tyrone wreck; crew were promptly on fuck almost as soon at the HKBALI in a short time had the tracks cleared and trains run.

oing as usual. Abbot seventy members of Tyrone Castle, K. of G.E assembled at the Gastle-room yesterday morning and in charge of Dr. wing proceeded to the Presbyterian church injtme for the opening of service at eleven o'clock. The Castle occupied the middle tier of seats in the auditorium, and a very large audience occupied the remainder of the seats on same floor and the greater portion of the gallery.

Rev. J. R. Da vies began by stating that he took it for granted that other ministers who in Tyrone had preceded him in the Work of preaching sermons before benevolent organizations had very largely covered the field as to the charity of such societies and the great help they are to the membership id times of need and misfortune, and that he would therefore base his remarks on the benevolence, charity and character or manliness of Christ, taking for his text the fifth verse of the nineteenth chapter of John, "Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!" The sermon was a good one throughout and was well received by tho Castle and audience generally.

Much deep thought was displayed, and if the ideas of purity of life as advanced, were put into practice by those who were present everybody would be well repaid for the time consumed in attending the service. MISSION SERVICE, The English Lutheran congregation held a "Children's Home Mission" service on Sabbath morning. The attendance was very large, unit tho children went through with the programme with precision and success. The school -met for the usual Sunday school work and tho "Children's Homv Mission Day" service then took the place of the usual church service. The most notable pieces recited were "The Missionary Clock," by a class of twelve girls, and the "Little Foxes," by a class of seven boys.

"The Missionary Hymn," by Miss Blanche Wingate and the congregation, was a very successful rendition. The pastor's address setting forth the origin and purpose of the "Children's Home Mission Day," was more than usually earnest, and by some of the members, it was regarded as one of his very best efforts. The offerings amounted to $25.50. The day was decided success. S.
