TYRONE TOPICS.

Thursday morning, at the Eagle hotel, Mrs. McClelland, relict of Jacob
McClelland who was killed while attempting to board a freight train on
the main line some three years ago, died of metro-peritonitis.  She
was a daughter of Mr. Hart, of Grazierville.  A few years ago she and
her sister married two brothers, McClelland by name, and shortly after
the death of the husband of the former her sister died also.  Fifteen
days ago she gave birth to a child - the second since the death of her
husband - which lived but three days. The woman lay in a cold room,
and not having the proper treatment, though as good perhaps as could
be expected at the hands of strangers, took cold and died as above
stated. The remains were conveyed to the home of her parents in the
afternoon.
