HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.
Death of Councilman Kinney.

  Thomas Kinney died on Friday evening.  The readers of the TRIBUNE 
have been furnished with the particulars of the distressing accident to 
Mr. Kinney which caused him to submit to the amputation of his right 
arm near the shoulder.  In addition to his own suffering the death of 
his son and the serious illness of a daughter was more than he could 
bear and death kindly came to his relief.  Mr. Kinney was about ? years 
of age, a miner by profession, and at the time of his death a member of 
the Borough Council and a man greatly respected by all.  He was buried 
in the Catholic cemetery on Sunday.
