They took up claims on Bonanza creek and realized handsomely on them. Mr. Bridenstein will return to the Klondike in the spring. He said the reports of enormous cost of living are greatly exaggerated. Altoona Times.
Losing their way in the darkness last Saturday night, a pair of horses precipitated four Laughlinstown residents over a thirty foot embankment near Lionier, Westmoreland county. They were David Steightley, his two sons, aged ten and fourteen, and a young man named Leroy Kelly. All received serious cuts and bruises the eldest Steightley boy is also believed to be injured internally. The smoke of the forest fires made the night very dark, and the horses were allowed to pick their way. They were going along all right, when Mr. Steightley, thinking they were too near the precipice, pulled the wrong rein and backed the wagon over the embankment.
Howard Lowman, the telegraph operator at Garway, was loading an old army musket Saturday afternoon, when the weapon exploded, tearing his left hand into shreds.

Rankin tripped on a log, and the shotgun he carried was discharged, the load striking Roberts in the back. He fell forward, raised up, and saying, "My dear boy, you have killed me," rolled over on his side dead. Mr. Roberts was probably about 25 years of age and was an exemplary young man.
Martha Benninghoff, aged 19 years, a daughter of Dr. Benninghoff, of Cherrytree, Indiana county, recently made an attempt to take her life by drinking carbolic acid. The girl went to her room and took the poison. She was discovered in the act by a member of her family, and only prompt medical assistance rendered by her father saved her life. Miss Benninghoff was in love with Mr. Miller McCleland, a young man who was killed in a railway accident at Rouseville last week, and it is thought that constant brooding over his death led her to commit the rash act. On her desk at school a note was found in which she declared her intention of taking her life.
A tragedy, which may result in murder, occurred between Saltsburg and Earl(?), Indiana county, on what is known as the Culp farm, on Saturday night. Samuel F. Beck has been living on the farm since he moved from Saltsburg a year and a half ago, when his wife died and left him with a baby a few months old, besides several larger children, among whom is Samuel, aged sixteen years. On Saturday night the father went home drunk. An altercation took place between the boy and his father, which resulted in the father cutting the boy's throat from ear to ear with a pocket knife. The man was arrested immediately. At last accounts the boy was still alive but in a precarious condition.

Shocking Accident.
Charles Kaylor, a young man who was employed by Mr. George Davis, on his farm in Cambria township, about two miles north of Ebensburg, met with a shocking death about three o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Davis and young Kaylor had a load of bark which they were bringing in town, Kaylor being on the front end of the wagon doing the driving and Davis attending to the brake.
While they were descending the hill near the fair grounds, some of the bark in front slid off and Kaylor with it. Mr. Davis heard from utter a cry and he jumped off when he found Kaylor lying on his face on the road. The wheel had passed over his head, breaking his neck and jaw. Death must have been instantaneous.
The team continued down the hill until the lines got tangled in one wheel, which drew them into a fence corner when they stopped.
Kaylor was about 20 years of age and a comparative stranger in the neighborhood, having no relatives here. His remains were taken to the undertaking rooms of Robert Evans & Son where they were prepared for burial and on Sunday were taken to the almshouse.
On Sunday evening William A. Kaylor a brother of the deceased, George W. Wertz and Jacob and Charles Crouse, cousins, all of Conemaugh, arrived in Ebensburg and made arrangements for the funeral which took place on Monday afternoon at one o'clock, the interment being made in Lloyd cemetery after services by Rev. Jones, of the Congregational church, and Josephs, of the Baptist church.

Several head of cattle belonging to D. L. and Jordan Pringle, near Wilmore, have recently died with a disease which is doubtless the deadly anthrax. The cattle were in good pasture--the second crop of a clover field--with plenty of good water. About a month ago one animal was taken sick and died within half a day, and recently two more have died. The limbs of the animals became rigid and bloody foam exudes from the mouth. The Messrs. Pringle have burned the cattle that recently died, and have written to Dr. Leonard Parsons, state vetinarian, Philadelphia, about the matter, and as a consequence the outbreak will doubtless be the subject of an investigation by veterinary experts in the course of a few days.

Bucher, a Johnstown grocer whose store had been robbed several times recently, shot and wounded Daniel Peer, aged 14 years, while in the act of removing some goods that were in a show window of his store room. on Tuesday night the windows were broken and several pairs of gloves and hose taken. Bucher did not repair the window but stuck up a board in place of the glass and stayed in the store to watch for the thief. About 5 o'clock on Thursday morning he heard someone removing the board and reaching in when he fired a shot from his revolver and the boy ran. Bucher followed and caught the boy in his father's yard and remarking, "I know who the thief is now," returned to his store without knowing whether the shot had hit the boy or not. The boy's step mother came out and carried the boy into the house where he expired in a few minutes. Bucher gave himself up.

Mr. Gutwald escaped by jumping from the buggy just before it was struck, but his horse was killed and the vehicle broken into pieces. Mr. Gutwald, who is 76 years of age, was a former resident of Ebensburg where he is well-known and during his residence here served one term as burgess.

FATHER GALLITZIN THE PIONEER MISSIONARY.
The Altoona Times of Monday, has the following letter from Rev. Father Kittell, of Loretto, giving considerably information on the early history of that locality. It is as follows:
Editor Times: The fact that 'Squire Dunegan, of St. Augustine, this county, has in his possession two receipt given to Father Sibourd on Dec. 15, 1794, and June 6, 795, to settlers of the Allegheny mountains for money contributed, is heralded by divers parties as a great discovery and as furnishing convincing proof that Father Gallitzin "was not the first Catholic priest to spread the gospel among the pioneers of the Alleghenies."
The whole matter may be definitely settled by stating that no one who is even slightly acquainted with the early history of the county ever claimed that distinction for Father Gallitzin. The McGuire settlement, now Loretto, was formed in 1788, and it is known that Father Brosius, who accompanied young Gallitzin from Germany, in 1792, made one or more visits to the settlers in that or the following year, a considerably time in advance of the visits paid by Father Sibourd. One of the occasions he set apart and consecrated for a cemetery a portion of the land donated by Captain Michael McGuire for church purposes. We may even believe that the settlement received visits previously from Father John Causey, who is 1789 was stationed at Sportsman's hall now St. Vincent's abbey, near Latrobe; from Father Brauer, his successor; from Fathers Pellentz, Lanigan and others. The priests in those days had roving commissions and traveled about continually, ministering to their scatted flocks, but, considering the extent of territory that had to cover, their visits were like those of angels--few and far between.
Father Gallitzin is styled "the pioneer missionary of the Alleghenies," and justly so--not because he was the first priest to come into this region, which he was not, but because he was the first to settle here and to make this a fixed center from which to carry on the work of the gospel in all directions. The others before this time were simply visitors at long intervals; he was the first resident missionary.

A NEW CATHOLIC DIOCESE.
Five counties in the Pittsburg diocese are affected by the recent reappointionment of the state by the council of bishops of the Roman Catholic church, at a meeting held recently in Philadelphia, and news of which decision reached Pittsburg on Monday night. Thirty parishes will be taken from Bishop Richard Phelan's care and added to the new diocese, the headquarters of which wich (sic) will probably be at Altoona.
The counties transferred by the order are Bedford, Huntingdon, Blair, Cambria, and Somerset. Several counties from the diocese of Erie will be contributed as well as several of the Harrisburg diocese, the latter to receive Schuykill and Carbon counties from Philadelphia diocese. The news came with satisfaction to the clergy of the Pittsburg diocese. It is claimed that it was largely due to the influence of Bishop Phelan that the reapportionment was approved, relieving, as it does, a large amount of work from this diocese.
