Indiana won the first game in the league series from Homestead on the latter's floor Saturday night by a score of 28 to 18. It was one of the most exciting experiences the Indiana players ever had; at one period half the large audience of Homestead admirers rushed on the floor to punish Luty, who was guilty of rough play several times. After the game the Indiana players escorted Luty to his street car through a dense crowdwhich was anxious to get even with him. The first half of the game ended 10-10 and the next 20 minutes witnessed swift play, Indiana winning 28 to 18. The Indiana players all deserve credit keeping their heads during the inexcitement.

They are highly elated winning their first league game, putting them on an equal basis with three other league teams. The lineup: Homestead-18. Indiana 28. Forward. Moorhead MeBeth.

John C. Bell, Who Formerly Lived in Indiana, May be Philadelphia's District Attorney. John C. Bell, a son of "'AlP" Bell, a former resident of Indiana, is prominently mentioned as the probable Republican nominee for district attorney of Philadelphia county at the next election. It is many years since the family left Indiana; then they had lived in the house at the corner of Church and Fifth streets.

Mr. Bell has made his own way in the world and, has the reputation of being one Philadelphia's shrewdest and most successful attornies, as well as a leader among the young politicians of the Quaker City. Mr. Weaver, the present incumbent, will be a candidate for the nomination for mayor, and highly recommends Mr. Bell for the position.

The organization leaders have taken up the former Indianaian's cause and his ultimate victory is almost assured. Many friends in Indiana will be glad to hear of his success. Will Watch the New Year In. The Young People's Christian union of the First U. P.

church will hold a midnight prayer meeting this evening from eleven to twelve o'clock. Early in the eyening a social gathering will be present.

Elder Peelor, and the pastors of several town churches.

A union watchmeeting will be held in the Homer City Presbyterian church this evening. Forestalling a Damage Suit. The Barnes Tucker colliery at Barnesboro took a peculiar action last week to avert a damage suit on the part of the father of Brakeman Berringer, who was knocked off his car and killed an overhanging chute. The chute was removed within twenty-four hours after the accident. L.

L. Berringer had intended photographing and measuring the chute to show that the accident was unavoidable on the part of his son. The coroner was busy at another case and did not arrive until after the chute had been removed. In case elder Mr. Berringer should desire to enter suit for damages he is thus deprived of a valuaable bit of evidence.

Mr. Berringer formerly lived in Barnesboro. Sales of Local Real Estate. Wetling Crossman have made several additional sales in the Wilson and Sutton plan on Grant street this week. M.

Bennett, of Indiana, has purchased four lots for $800; G. L. Stephens, one lot, $500; J. Long, one lot, $1200. Mont.

Last week it was announced from Chicago that the price of beef to the retailer from the big packing concerns is now 4 to 6 cents cheaper than it was three months ago. If such is the fact, it apparently makes no difference in the price of meat in Indiana, and those dealers who sell beef trust meats have made no reduction in their retail price.

Laura Wilson, wife of W. T. Wilson, of Creekside, fell into an open grate fire Saturday morning and received burns which resulted in her death a few minutes later. Some months ago Mrs. Wilson was taken to the Dixmont asylum for the insane.

She had refused to live with husband and children, and while actually insane her, there was fear expressed that a violent phase of the disease might develop and that some dreadful deed would result. She returned some weeks ago and had been living at the home of her son, and, while still being somewhat eccentric, appeared to be improved. Saturday morning her son left for a few minutes to do some work in the yard. When he returned he found his mother lying prostrate ou the hearth, some portions of her body being burnt almost to a crisp. She lived but a few minutes and never regained consciousness.

Mrs. Wilson was a tall woman and still retained some of the beauty which had distinguished her in youth. She was 47 years of age. It was said that she was trying to fix the fire, but was unable to retain her balance and fell into it, managing afterwards to drag herself back some inches. Mrs.

Wilson was a relative of Thomas Kahney, the Mt. Washington, Pittsburg, grocer, who was murdered by the notorious Biddle brothers, whose exploits are yet fresh in the public mem- ory.

He was 50 years of age and is survived by his second wife and a number of children, all of whom reside at Garfield. He had been in the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad company for a long term of years. Funeral services were held Sunday at his late home. The accident occurred on Friday To Have Cataract Removed.

E. T. Anderson, formerly of Spruce postoffice, has opened a large, general store in the Shaffer building at Vintondale. He will handle almost everything that is in daily need and sell good goods at fair prices. Mr.

Anderson's reputation for fair dealing is irreproachable and those who patronize him will be doing both him and themselves a good service. WIll Move to Maryland. J. M. Rhodes, of Sample Run, will remove this week to Princess Anne, Maryland, where he recently purchased a large farm.

Mr. Rhodes has disposed of most of his interests in this county and expects to make another success in farming in the rich shore land of Maryland. Street Railway for Bolivar.

Charles Utzler, alias John Brantlinger, is jailed in Johnstown township, Michigan, charged with the foul murder of a young married woman there. He narrowly escaped lynching, and in his confession, extracted the "sweatbox," said he came from Johnstown, and at one time had served two years in the penitentiary for robbing a Blairsville family of $55.

A Charles Utzler, of bad reputation, left Coopersdale, Cambria county, in 1895, and he is believed to be the same man now in danger of his life in Michigan. An examination of the court records at Indiana does not show that any man by the name of Utzler or Brantlinger was sentenced from this county in 1889 or 1890. He may have been tried in Westmoreland county or convicted here under an alias. Mrs. James Long.

Rugh, of Brushvalley, Discovered by School Children Lying Dead on the Road. John H. Rugh, of Brushvalley township, was found dead with a broken neck on the road near the Rugh school at about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He had been at Heshbon on business and was on his return trip, when it is thought his team attempted to turn around and in trying to get them back on the road he was thrown from the sled. When discovered by the school children it was thought that he was frozen.

Dr. Miller was sent for and he discovered the cause. No other bruises or fractures were found and the body was moved to his late home, about one mile from Mechanicsburg. Some hours later the team had not yet returned. Mr.

Rugh was aged about 45 years and is survived by his wife, a sister of Fred. Herlinger, of Indiana, four children, no brothers and two sisters, viz: Mrs. Susan Mikesell, Ponca, Nebraska, and Mrs. Nancy Altemus, also in the West. No other theory as to the cause of his death has yet been advanced.
