HARRIsnIrRc. June g. ISia

HARRISBURG, June 8, 1919.
Our borough Is in a state of intense excitement,
IN consequence OF the discovery of as heartless and
aggravated case of seduction as ever was chron-
isled. The victlms-for there are more than one
are two sisters, daughters of one of our most re-
spectacle citizens, and rumor says he has also ac-
eompIshed the destruction of the third sister, all
of whom were residing under the parental roof,
with their widowed father, who is bordering on
insanity in consequence of this henous and heart
rsndng occurrence The fend who has wrought
this outrage, and destroyed the peace of one OF our
most respectable families, is Jonathan Gibbons
Mills, surgeon dentist who located here about two
years ago. emigrating from Lancaster city 1t
appears this has not been his first offence; some
few months ago, poor girl brought charge of
fornication and bastardy against him, which he
was enabled through her wants, to settle for a
email pecuniary consideration. During this period
he was paying attention TO the eldest of the sisters
alluded 10. The father hearing OF this affair, for
bade HIM the house, having learned also that
Mills, by his cruelty and neglect, had brought
his first wife to premature grave. Finding
himself fooled IN his open visits, he resorted to
vert means OF meeting the unsuspectng sisters at
his office and IN the streets, 10 each of whom it is
SAID he made promises OF marriage; and so well
arranged were his plans, and successful his dis
simnlatlon that neither OF the aitless girls made
confidant OF each other, believing him to be sincere
III HIS dlidcbntHt; anu looklDB IoTWhTu 10 the Iu-
ture when every obstacle should be removed from
thel union. In this manner he accomplished their
ruin; and 1t is SAID letter has been discovered,
written by Mills, IN which he declares his inten-
tion of destroying the peace of the family, ia con-
sequence OF his summary election from the house
by The father
Mills was arrested and taken before Squire Sny-
der, on warrant tor fomication and bastardy; the
second sister having concealed her pregnancy until
III day before yesterday. Not being able to procure
bail, he offered to marry the mother OF the child,
and the worthy justice conveyed the intelligence
10 the family. What was his astonishment and
horror, to learn that the heart-broken parent had
discovered that the next youngest daughter was
e~ciente, by Mills, also. On this being known, the
popular feeling savored strongly of the application
OF Judge Lynch's code to the culprit, while the
father, almost distracted with sorrow, loaded his
musket, intending to have summary vengeance on
the despoller of his peace and of his family. The
villain, TO save himself from being lynched made
a speedy retreat to jail, where he now Is awaiting
the various actions, which will result in some seven
10 ten years in the pententary
This affair has thrown gloom over our whole
community, and as soon further Developments
can be procured, they will be forwarded

in doors and out to resist it, and besides their mining
operations generally very successful and they

the Presidential election, and are as much gradsd or
