Buehanan's Confederate.

DR.. Thomas Van Duser, the friend of
DIR. John Buchanan of bogus-diploma
notoriety, who testified that the diplo-
ma-dealer leaped from ferry-boat, was
before Judge Butler of the United States
Court last week for hearing upon
writ of habeas corpus. After Buchanan
was found Van Duser was arrested for
perjury and conspiracy to aid the escape.
After a hearing before United States
Commissioner Gibbons, when it was
given in evidence that Buchanan was
alive and not dead, Van Duser was COM
mitted in default of $4,000 bail No
testimony was taken before the Court,
and the case was submitted under the
notes of the Commissioner. Maxwell
Stevenson, counsel for the defendant,
argued that the evidence did not show
that DIR. Buchanan did not leap from
the boat, and that there was nothing to
show that what Van Duser had testified
to was not true. He held that there
was nothing to show that Van Duser
was party to any conspiracy. Judge
Butler declined to discharge Van Duser
or reduce his bail. He said he would
not give his reasons at present, as they
might prejudice the case against the
defendant.

Suicide of a Wife and Mother.

READING, Pa, Sept. 20.-The wife of
w. G. Kemp,a wealthy farmer of Berks
county, yesterday afternoon drowned
herself by jumping into the Ontelaunce
creek near their home. She was insane
upon religious matters. Two years ago
she cut her throat with razor, in the
attic, but her life was saved. Later she
severed an artery with razor while in
the woods, but timely medical aid pre-
vented her death. She was closely
watched afterwards. Yesterday after
noon she was sitting on the veranda of
their country home with her husband
and children. Mr.. Kemp went to the
barn a few moments, and as soon as he
had his back turned, the wife embraced
her little ones, and then rushed to the
river, took off her shoes hurriedly, and
jumped in. Her body was recovered ten
minutes afterwards,

Another Oil District Found.

HoNEsDALE, Sept. co. The latest
sensation in this section is the supposed
discovery that vast quantities of oil lie
under the barren wastes of Pike and
Wayne counties, this State. A geolo-
gist of some note, while travelling
through this section of country, discov-
cred that the two northeastern counties
are undoubtedly on the same " oil vein"
as Bradford, the great oil centre of the
State. Preparations are now making to
bore to the depth of fifteen hundred
feet, when, if no oil is found, the ven-
ture will be abandoned.

Rollins Effects.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23.-The spark
ling gems which the bank robber Rollins
had smuggled into the Eastern peniten-
tiary In shaving brush handle and
which Rollins promised to give to the
keeper If he would assist Rollins to es-
cape, have been examined by lapidary,
on behalf of the administrator, J. Nc
Dowell Sharp, of Chambersburg, and
prove to be paste instead of Brazilian
diamonds. They were undoubtedly
prepared with the sole view of hood
winking Hustis. One of Rollins wives,
who has been waiting the report of the
expert in the hope that she might realize
something to reimburse her for the
$40, 900 worth of real diamonds, of which
Rollins despoiled, her left the city
on Tuesday and is said to be on her way
to California to be remarked. His other
wife is in Chicago. The only effects
Rollins leaves, besides the paste dia-
monds, are pair of French gaiters with
false heels, in which were hidden some
fine saws when Rollins reached the
penitentiary, a reversible silk cloak,
capable of being folded and carried in
the vest pocket, and marvellous hat,
purchased in Paris, which could be
changed into six different shapes and
two colors. Pull string and it became
high, black hat /; pull again and this
chameleon head covering turned into a
light cashmere pull once more and the
crown sank, and it was metamorphosed
into low crowned Derby; another pull
and the brim rolled up and cap took
the place of all the above mentioned
tiles. 1t is said that Rollins had his hat
made for the express purpose of battling
Identification while conducting his
heavy forgery operations in New York.
He took it with him to Chambersburg,
along with pair of beautifully mounted
revolvers, heavy bowie knife and
sword cane, when he and Wicks at
tempted to gag Cashier Messersmith and
rob the bank at Chambersburg. The
articles mentioned are still in possession
of the Chambersburg authorities. Rol-
Inns father may yet claim them.

The New Railroad in the Cumberland Valley

The work on the Cumberland Valley
and Baltimore railroad is being pushed
forward with considerable vigor. This
road is now partly completed between
the terminus of the Western Maryland
railroad, four or five miles southeast of
Waynesboro', Franklin county, and
cChambersburg, and this week nearly
200 men are at work throwing up en-
bankments and digging out cuts. Last
week the right of way was granted
through mooted part of Chambersburg
so that now the way is clear through
that thrifty borough. The present OBJ
jective point of the new road is Ship
pensburg, which will be reached on the
north, owing to the new track crossing
the Cumberland Valley railroad to that
side at Chambersburg. What the COM
pany propose to do after the track is laid
and traffic is open to Shippensburg is
unknown to the public, but projectors
claim, without going any further than
that point, that the road will have suffi-
cient business to pay theinvestors hand
somely.

from Kentucky. There is now grown in
the State over 100000 cases, of which
Lancaster county claims this year $4,000.
