A POLICEMAN BADLY WOUNDED.-JoSeph
NJ. Dyson, of the police force, received a blow in
fight last evening which broke the bone of his
nose between the eyes, and inflicted such injury
as to cause much anxiety. He went with sew
eral other officers who were called to take an
lrishman from house on Spring street at about
half-past nine O'Clock, and was trying to get up
a narrow staircase which led to the attic when
the blow was struck by the man, who stood at
the top, throwing things down and pulling the
house TO pieces. The fellows name is James
Desmond, and he went to the house to board YES
terday, getting so troublesome in the evening by
tearing around and breaking things that it was
found necessary tocall in the officers Desmond
seemed to be in crazy state of intoxcation,
and stood at the head of the narrow stairs in the
dark, striking the house and threatening with a
club in his hands made from piece of board.
The officers procured lights and started to 90
up, johnson going first and receiving two smart
blows on the arms. Just then the lights went
out, and the next blow struck Dyson, who was
following, on the head, and sent him stag
gering back. The fellow, who made
desperate fight, was then secured by john
son, Churchill and Atkinson, and taken
TO the lookup. Dyson was taken into
another room and laid upon the floor,
while several started for doctor to attend his
wound which was found to be a very serious
one. He was shortly afterwards taken to the
station, where lit. lay the remainder of the night
in the hospital room, suffering terrible pain and
bleeding profusely. He was cared for by DR..
Wood, who remained with him.

LIBERALITY. The Bloomsburg ColaDl-
dian is responsible for the following: We
hear good thing told at the expense of a
merchant in a neighboring town. One of
the ministers Of the place was having a
donation party, when Mr.. -, arnbi-
tious to appear liberal, marked q four
dollar castor up 10 twelve dollars, and
took it in rs donation, getting much
credit for his Hberality. The next day
the minister called at the store with his
twelve dollar castor, stating that as they
could not afford so expensive an article,
he would be pleased to exchange il for its
marked value in other needed goods, and
the minister was soon vending his way
homsward loaded down with dozen dol
lars worth of selected groceries.

ABOUT A WIDOW.

A writer contributes to the Chester,
Pa, Republican, an article on, Tony
Weller's Widows" from which we ex,
tract the following:
Another very courtatle widow was
young lady Of Washington, Pa She be-
came engaged TO young man named
Robert, in 1916. Her father, how
ever, objected to this match with one of
his clerks, and when the young girl re-
ceiyed tempting proposal from wealthy
suitor, the paternai influence soon effected
marriage, despite the previous engage
ment. In less than three months her
husband was killed by a kick from horse.
Robert was second time a suitOr, but
delayed the important question until If
teen months had elapsed, when, 10 his
horror, she informed that she was en-
gagged. In a short time thereafter she
was married. Two years elapsed, when
the married couple moved to Syracuse,
\. Y, where, among the victims OF the
cholera, when the pestilence swept that
city, was tie second. Robert again sought
Der hand, and when year had elapsed,
was on the eve of declaration, when 10!
lie received an invitation TO her wedding
Her late husbands business was found
in such a state that to avoid immense
losses she married her husbands partner.
Shortly after, she removed with her third
husband to Detroit, Michigan. y few
years elapsed when herself and husband
were on q steamer that was wrecked near
Buffalo. The husband perished, and the
wife escaped solely through the exertion
of a friend who was on board His gall
lantFy inspired such sentiments in her
breast, that she married her brave pres
server a few months after her third wild
owhood. The happy pair removed to
Pittsburgh, where her husband was en-
gagged in meTchaniile business. Thitber
Robert, still cherishing his first love, fol-
lowed. One day as he WAS passing the
door Of the husbands store, he saw ter
ribIe commotion. Rushing in, he beheld
the mangled corpse of that gentleman on
the floor. a fierce of rice, being hoisfed
20 an upper story had fallen through the
traps, killing him instantly Anxiously
Robert inquired if any one had been sent
TO inform his wife, and was told that the
bookkeeper had just gone. Robert started
for Allegheny city, where the deceased
had resided at tbe top of his speed. The
bookkeeper was just ahead of him, and
from past experience knowing the value
of prompt action, and apprehending that
the clerk had designs on the widow, he
ran for dear life, side by side. The race
continued until they reached Hand street
bridge, when the clerk was obliged to stop
to pay the tolls, while Robert, a commu-
ter, passed over without stopping, Reach
ing The house of the widow first, Robert
told the heartrending news, and almost in
the same breath made a proposition of
marriage He was accepted. True to
her promise after year of mourning she
became his wife. rs all her husbands
had died wealthy, Robert was comforta>
bly, fixed, after all. This case is re-
markable example Of what ''pluck and
perseverance, will do for man, while at
the same time it teaches a lesson on the
danger of delay.

ToLD THE TRUTu.-Somo one was

giddiness Of manner. Richmond was here
nj the time, and my informant, who was
then boy working 10 a printing office,
wished to get pass over the Central
Railroad. With this purpose in view ha
entered the Office where the Daguate was,
fearing that be would be rudely rebuffed
when he made his mission known. After
q moments hesitation, Ee said faltering-
ly:

Albany to Buffalo, rs I can go up on the

''On what grounds do you ask for

rough voice..
''On the ground, sir, that I don't want
20 pay my fare"
Richmond, without anosher word, wrote
out pass and handed it to The applicant,
The boy took it, saying "Thank ycu
thank you, Mr.. Richmond"
''You needn't thank me, youngsler-
