Paying Well for a Little Law.

Before Magistrate Vandegritt, last
evening, Mollie Miloway was arraigned
upon the charge of committing an as
sault and battery upon Ella Trutt.
Mr.. Truitt and Mrs. Holloway were
present, to add variety to the scene,

signed for the ash Act.

Yesterday afternoon the neighbor-
hood of Seventh and Orange streets was
thrown into an excitement by the sud-
den and mysterious disappearance of a
family, or rather wife Of an honest
and industrious mechanic, named John
Ii. wilkins, who was in the employ OF
one of our car shops. 1t appears that
the family moved here from Chester
some two months ago and took up their
residence at No. 2l% W. Seventh street,
in the house lately occupied by DR..
VIM. Field, in~lich two or three other
families reside. The first intimation
that Mr.. wilkins had of the fact was
telephoned to him from an unknown
source, about ) O'Clock the mes
sage stating that he was wanted at
home. In response to the message, he
immediately repaired to his home, only
TO find his wife, and nearly all the
household etfects missing, she leaving
only few chairs behind her. Mr..
wilkins was n)n-plused, Ii and after
careful inquiry amOngs5 his nelghbors,
could learn nothing in reference to the
strange state of affairs, except that a
furniture car had carried away load
or two Of furniture. The Express Com
pany had been notified to come after
some goods, bur as they were late in
arriving, furniture car was procured
to take away the goods, and when the
Express Company's wagons arrived,
everything had gone. 1t is supposed
to be case Of an elopement, as no
cause for the mysterious disappearance
of Mrs. wilkins can be given by her
husband. rs they have always lived
happily together, and she never init
mated of doing such thing. The hus-
band is greatly distressed at the SEEM
ng treachery, which the woman has
displayed, and the whole thing is
,hrouded in mystery.

Suit Before Squire Vaadergrift to
Recover Pay ment for n Casket,

Before Esquire Vandegritt yesterday
suit was brought by the Iron and Crys.
tai Glass Burial Casket Co., of Ohio
against Thomas j. RusSall of this city,
to recover money due on a casket fur.
nished by them to the defendant. 7 he
casket was bought through an agent of
he firm. and was to have been entirely
of iron and glass, but when it arrived
in this city, and was opened, it was
found that the most important part of
the coffin subject to decay, was made
OF poplar wood, which should have
been of iron, and was also damaged.
MIR. Russell notified the Company that
the casket was not what he bargaincd
Tor, and it was at their disposal. They
made him no reply, aid the casket has
remained in his possession for year or
more, without hearing from themSuntil
a day or two ago when the firm lonter-
ed suit tor the recovery of the amount
due. l.. G. Naudegrirt appeared for
plaintiff and IL. G. Turner, Esq for de-
iendant. This was an interesting case,
as the possession of ownership of the
casket, is the point to decide, as Mr..
Russell had notified the firm that it was
not what he ordered and was ut their
disposal, they failing to send tor it, so
or course it remains in Mr.. Rllssell's
possession, but the question is, IS he
the sole owner OF the casket and is he
responsible for the payment of the bill?
The case was ably argued, but the de-
clslon OF the nagistratc Was reserved,
In all probability the case will go to
court.

vENNOR iOT DISCOURAGED.
He W1thhOlds His Predictions OF

Professor Vennor left Philadelphii
yesterday morning by steamer direc
for Boston, Oh his way back to his Cana
dian home, in Montreal. The weather
prophet expressed himself to Record
man as being greatly pleased with his
visit to the United States. On Tues
day he spent most of the day with
Messrs. j. NJ. Stoddart Il Go. in look
ing over the proofs Of his forthcoming
almanac and in arranging for the early
issue Of the work.
The forecast tor the winter of 1892,
however, Professor Vennor positively
refuses to hand in until he has studied
the further behavior Of September at
his head-centre at Montreal and until
he has, as he says, final look over his
weather-charts, which have been in his
assistants hands during his absence
from home. These9 charts he says,

tlons covering a period of seventy We

sons not only on this side Of the Attain
He says that his success in this was
marked and generally acknowledged
last winter, and he expresses himself as
confident Of similar truthful reading
of the weather fer the approaching sea-
son. His bold forecast Of last winter,
predicting in September tremendous
snow falls from Montreal to Washing
ton, -. Co. for the entry Of 1881, and
"destr" "ctive bIockades, West for the
close of December, seems to inspire him
with the conviction that he will be
equally correct in his predictions for
the coming autumn, winter and spring.
Professor Nennor says that his system
OF tOrecasting the condition of the wealth.
er at long range is an experiment, and
while there may be certain data which
may be overlooked in his calculations,
he is confident he will be- able to reduce
the plan upon which he works to Il per-
feet system, enabling him to forecast
the state Of the weather for year
ahead with at least the accuracy now
secured for twenty-fou- hours by the
Signal Service Bureau. When asked
to give his version Of the behavior of
TIL" weather tor next winter he smiled
significantly and said--nothing. Wheth-
er it was in anticipation Of general
assortment Of "blizzards" for Phlladel-
phia, or some comfortable little dips of

With reference to the landslide neal

which occurred on Sunday evening last

include forty men of neighboriug vii
lagos who came to aid when the first
land slip occurred, at 6 o'clock in the
evening, and before the village was
overwhelmed by the second slip, which
took place at midnight. The river on
which Elm is situated has been made
into lake, and it is feared the valley
below will be flooded. AS the place is
much frequented this season by stran-
gers, it is feared that some must have

Poison Given in Whiskey.

PLYMOUTH, N. H., Sept. l5.-lmpor-
tant revelations have just been. made in
the alleged poisoning cases at Lnnc's'
ter. 1t will be remembered that there
were six deaths, which carried away all
the members of DR.. Bugbee's and Mr..
B. g. Towne's families. The bodies
were taken up and arsenic was found In
the stomach of Mrs. Towne. The next
examination was that of Mrs. Bugbee,
hut no poison was discovered. Prof.
Wood of Harvard College, has Just om.
pleted some chemical tests upon the in.
testines of DR.. Bugbee and Mrs. Towne,
and arsenic was found in both of them.
In the case of DR.. Bugbee whiskey was
also detected. These new discoveries
have a most important bearing on this
affair, and confirm the officers in sever
al opinions which they had before en-
tertained. 1t is expected that examln-
nations will be made in relation to the
death OF Mrs. Bugbee and the servant
girl. This new evidence is considered
substantial PROOF that DR.. Bugbee and
Mr.. and Mrs. Towne died from tie use
Of whiskey as medicine, in which ar
senic had been placed. The officers are
convinced that they know who the
guilty party is, and the net work OF eyi-
dence they are preparing will soon be
