,Scrire Grier had before him Ben
jamin Stipc charged with the theft of $50
by Charles Eckert. The alleged robbery
was committed last February while both
were inmates of a boarding house kept by
Mr.. John Bartch, at the corner of Cherry
street and Lancaster avenue. A warrant
for Stipe's arrest had been issued as soon
as the robbery had been discovered, but he
becoming frightened had left the town.
Yesterday he was captured in this place
and brought to trial. The plaintiff did
not show by any witness that he really
had such a sum of money in his own pos
session, much less prove the defendant the
thief. Most of those who heard the case
believe young Stipe innocent, and do not
think Eckert possessed the sum OF money
he alleges to have been stolen. The justice
took the same view of the matter and dis
charged the accused from custody.

Locust street yesterday, the driver having
kindly offered to give them a ride into the

Mr.. B. f. Dean the horse started into

to fall over tho rear end OF the wagon

Gn the right side of the body and other
injuries received, though of sli ght nature.

by a physician. He rested well last night
and is now progressing as favorably as
could be expected under the circumstan-
