HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.
Death of James Kinney - An Afflicted Family.

  James Kinney, a young man 23 years of age, son of Councilman Thomas 
Kinney, died at 6 o'clock on Monday morning with that terrible plague 
scarlet fever.  The deceased was a young man who had many friends.  
About one year ago he went to Meadville and not meeting with success 
returned home last October.  A sister of the deceased is dangerously 
ill with the same disease.  The mother and another sister are also 
sick.  The father, Mr. Thomas Kinney, met with a severe accident a few 
weeks ago while working in the Keenan stone quarry, which required the 
amputation of the right arm, after which gangrene set in, and he has 
been suffering greatly since with no little or favorable symptoms.  Mr. 
Kinney is one of our best citizens - a man of more than ordinary 
intelligence and education, and should receive the substantial sympathy 
of every good citizen in his sad affliction.
