Daniel Ressler, of Cramer, this county, aged about 28 years, shot and fatally wounded his cousin, Ella Ressler, aged 38, and then killed himself, while walking along the highway between Cramer and Coneinaugh Furnace Thursday afternoon. Ressler died instantly and the giil died Friday morning.

James Bowers of Johnstown, a brother-in-law of Ella Ressler, the girl's mother, Mrs. Sarah Ann Ressler, and the unfortunate young woman started to walk from their home near Cramer to Conemaugh Furnace to board a train for Johnstown. They were joined by Ressler, who walked with the girl. A half mile north of Cramer, Bowers and Mrs. Ressler, who were walking ahead of the young people, wore startled by hearing a pistol shot aud turned to see Ella fall and Ressler place the revolver between his eyes and fire again.

Ressler was dead when they reached him, but Miss Ressler was living, though unconscious. The bullet struck her near the right temple, penetrating to a depth of nearly six inches. The young woman was removed to her home, a mile from Cramer, and the body oi Ressler was taken to his home in Cramer. The cause of the tragedy is supposed to have been the girl's continued rejected of Ressler's offers of marriage. She had been his mother's housekeeper for some time and Reasler had made repeated proposals to her, which she refused.

He had made threats to take her life at different times and twice armed himself and lay in wait to kill her, but the weapon was taken away from him each time. Ressler, who was a miner, had a bad reputation and drank heavily at times. It is believed that he joined the party yesterday on their way to the depot for the purpose of killing the girl and then ending bis own life, as he bade a neighbor, Frank Detweller, good-bye just before starting and otherwise acted strangely. The crime of Ressler created great excitement in the neighborhood of the tragedy. Ressler had long premeditated the deed.

A short time ago he followed her to church, carrying a gun, intending to shoot her when she came out. Parties knowing that he had made throats disarmed him. A few days later he followed her to a social, armed as usual, intending to kill her but he was again disarmed. The day of the crime, learning that she was going to Johnstown, he made deliberate preparations for the tragedy which followed. He took a bath, carefully dressed himself and going to a mantle piece took from it a bottle of whisky.

"This will be my last drink on earth," lie said to bis a'unt, as he turned the bottle to his lips. He then went out and joined his aunt and cousin. Miss Ressler died early Friday morning having never regained consciousness. The funeral of Ressler took place from his home Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev.

Stephen Hildebrand, the young man's uncle, conducted the services, which were simple and without detail. The remains were interred in the Breth- ern cemetery a few miles from Cramer. The funeral of Ella Ressler took place at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon from the home of her mother, about one and one- half miles from Cramer. Rev. Hildebrand also conducted the services.

Interment was made in the same cemetery where her slayer was buried. Two of Ressler's sisters were killed on the P. R. R. while crossing the tracks at Conemaugh Furnace about two years airo.

HEARKEN TO THE COURIER. The Blairsville Courier to be Young Han Grows Bold. "Isn't it about time to arise with the remark that there's a heap of fol-de-rol about Senator Quay's preferences as to who shall be elected for certain offices? From the paltry and empty office of'hog" constable to that of United'States Senator, the assertion is made that it won't do to support so-and-so because his election would not please Senator Quay. We fear that in many cases the burden of responsibility is placed upon Senator Quay that belongs much nearer home." Then the Courier hedges: "The Quay boom for President is hourly giowing. May it expand from its present vigorous state to a unanimous nomination and a triumphant election is the wish of this journal." Fresh Cow for Sale.

JITTSSELL GOT IN. But How He Got Out of a Sunday Saloon He Intended Raiding, He Can Scarcely Tell. NEW YORK, FEB. Frederick Bruce Russell, a young and enthusiastic Brooklyn pastor, started out to close the saloons last night. With some difficulty he discovered that Ryan's saloon, on Washington street, was doing a rushing business.

He secured the services of Oflicer Donnelly to raid the place. The watcher at the door saw the preacher and policeman coming. He sang out to the barkeeper: "Here comes Donnelly in plain clothes with a guy in tow." "Let in the guy and bar Donnelly," said the bartender. At the knock on the door the watcher let Rev. Mr.

Russell in, but slammed the door tight upon Donnelly's coat holding him a prisoner. The saloon lights went out. Invisible bauds grasped the reverend raider. Then he felt himself spin around like a top. Chairs got in his way and then got out of his way when he tried to sit down.

Presently he found himself on the floor with a table rolling around on him. Strong hands jerked him to his feet again, and again he was whirling in an invisible dance until his brains felt like a dish of porridge. Suddenly he was propelled through tortuous passages and shot vi ith great force out into the night air. Pie staggered about a moment and thenjfled. Tlie.saloon was not raided.

From American Agriculturist- The days of Pennsylvania, especially the central part of the state, as a fruit growing country arc last passing away. This is not because of any change in the climate conditions sufficient to make fruit raising an impossibility, but because of the failure of agriculturists in keeping up their orchards to the standard of former years. On many of the farms in the central part of the state there has not been a new tree of any kind planted in years, and those which now go to the make-up of the orchards are already so old as to be almost past bearing fruit at all; and if not entirely beyond the bearing period, the yield is not large and the fruit is of an inferior quality.

Fruit always commands a fair price, enough to justify cultivating and keeping up a good orchard, and the fruit raiser is sure of a reasonably good crop every four years out of five, at the least. Wheat, corn and cattle can now be brought here from the west and sold cheaper, than the same can be raised here, but apples and other fruits not only find a good market here at all times, but also a ready market in the far west; and if farmers want to keep up their revenue they must look at other products than the usual grains.
