This morning q man with milk wagon
was driving along the Conestoga creek,
between Ranck's mill and the Philadel-
phia turnpike, when his horse frightened
at a man carrying bag of leaves. He
ran off and dashed into another wagon
which was on the road. Both horses
broke loose from the vehicles and ran to

wagons were badly wrecked. One of the

The second question "Who are admit

of Reuben D. Nsylor and A. A. Thomp-

the committee and presiding elders.
T. B. Nicely made . short address, In
which he said he feared there would be
more young men admitted than would be
needed that some of them would get
married and would thus crowd into the
married stations, causing incoovenience
and crowding in those stations.
Presiding Elders HinsOn, Dickinson and
Mcconnell said there was plenty Of room
in their districts for all applicants and
hoped ali suitable candidates would be ad-

with the others, but thought the young
men when admitted ought to remain
single for two or even four years they
ought not to take to themselves wives
when they are not able TO support thea.

THE LATEST NEWS.
a 81. Lo0Is OFFICIALS E.oARADE.

Running Away With . Young woman snd
Asking 70 bo ForEiven-Recene Events
at Different Localitaes.
The latest social sensation in st. Louis
is one in which Charles w. Francis, health
commissioner, and Ida Simpson, . young
woman of twenty. one, figure as the pri1-
cipals. Francis is at the head of all the
city's health institutions and is the
monarch of q small army Of employees.
Miss Simpson comes from no one knows
where, but has evidently found the right
side of the commissioner heart, for she
made him secure her no less than four
positions in the different institutions under
his control. As there was no fifth he could
not give her another appointment. She
had gone the rounds, and this seems to have
troubled him. He began drinking heavily.
About a week ago he secured q twenty
days leave of absence and the same night
his disappearance was reported by his
family at the health department head
quarters. The employees then immedi.
ately inaugurated search. They traced
their chief to the Union depot, where they
received information from the police te
effect that Mr.. Francis had taken the
train for Vincennes, Ind, with a young
woman, whom they described as a person
resembling Miss Simpson. Arriving out
there he appears to have become alarmed
at his escapade, for he wrote home asking
if he would be forgiven if he returned. Al
affirmative was given and the result was
the return of the commissioner. No one
appears to know just what has bee ome oi
the woman. Mr.. Francis is one of the
leading Democratic politicians of St. Louis
and has been prominently mentioned ir
connection with the mayoralty en- tha
ticket.

Bound Over Charged With Assaulting q
Deputy Marshal VINO subpoenaed Him.
Philadelphia Times.
James w. Bosler, of Carlisle, Pa, who
was a witness in the Star Route trials at
Washington, D. c., arrived in Philadel
phia about four o'clock yesterday after.
noon in custody of Deputy Marshal
Reuter- and had a hearing before United
States Commissioner Gibbons on the
charge of assaulting Deputy Marshal
Charles w. Cake while in the discharge
of his duty. The circumstances as sworn
to were that a subpoena having arrived
from Chief Justice Carter, of the supreme
court of the District of Columbia, COM
manding the attendance of Bosler as a
witness and the production of his books
papers, contracts agreements, kilograms,
etc., at the trial of Dorsey and his part
ners on March 16, Deputy Cake went to
Carlisle on Thursday last. He arrived at
BOsler's house, which is outside of Car
Isle, after 10 o'clock at night. He in
formed Mrs. Bosler of his business and
she told him that her husband was in bed
and could not be seen. Cake took a lamp
from his conveyance and finding Bosler in
bed on the second floor shook him until
awake and then began reading the sub
pena Before it was half complcted the
supposed invalid sprang out of bed and
seizing q billet of firewood struck the
deputy with it. As he retreated he read
the last part OF the subpoena and left a
copy behind him.
Lemuel Todd, of Carlisle, who appeared
as Bosler's counsel, called for the original
subpoena, but the deputy said it had been
returned to Washington. Deputy Cake
denied that he had forced his way into the
bed room, or that BOsler had told him he
was i'll and asked him to return the fol-
lowing day, or had ordered him out at
first. He was equally positive that he was
not intoxicated and bad not gone about
Carlisle the next day boasting that he had
invaded Bosler's chamber. Bosler said
Cakes language when he entered the
room was :" I'm deputy United States
marshal, by am"
Mr.. Todd at first asked that Bosler's
statement be heard, but afterwards with
drew this offer when it was suggested to
take it down in writing. Counsel said he
would enter 81, 900 security for Bosler, but
objections were made that this was not
under the rule of the United
States courts for the district. This diff
Guilty was, however. smoothed over and
Mr.. Todd was accepted, the security being
for Mr.. Bosler's appearance for trial in
May.

Popular Clamor Not judicial TRIAL.
Easton Express.
However much we may deplore the
action of the Dukes jury, it will not do to
say that the jurymen deserve punishment.
Jurymen in capital cases have a most
thankless, responsible and arduous duty
thrust on them. They are supposed to
discharge it to the best of their ability.
And we must accept their verdict. This
hanging them in efigy and boycotting
them because popular clsmor is against
their verdict, is all wrong. No man can
tell what q jury will do. But if they are
to to scared and bullied no man can tell
what they won't do hereafter. Innocent
men may be hung because jurors fear the
popular clamor for blood.

Arrest of q Man Who Lived Two Months OF
Human Flesh.

Arrest of Man Who Lived Two Months on
Human Flesh.
AL. Packer. the man who is supposed to
have murdered five prospectors near the
present site of Lake City, nine years ago.
and afterward to have lived the greater
part of sixty days on their flesh, has been
brought to Denver, COL, by the sheriff of
Hinsdsle county. Packer was with a
party of five prospectors, who were over
taken by the snow in the mountains. Ac-
cording to his own story, to which he adds
his affidavit, one of the men, who had
gone crazy from his sufferings and lack of
food, killed the four others, and then
threatened Packer himself, when the latter
shot him. After the death of the men he
tried to get away, but was prevented by
the snow, and for nearly two months lived
upon the dead men. Packers story is
not generally believed, as the people living
in the county where the murders were
committed say that all the bodies were
found together-three with bullet holes
through the skulls, and the other with his
head chopped off. Packer says that the
crazy man killed the others with hatchet.
He was arrested shortly after the murder,
but escaped.

Caring for the Hair.

A lively old lady, who died far adj
vanced in her eighties, and was proud
in extreme old age of her beautiful
dark hair, was accustomed when a
girl to hang up her night-cap every
morning filled with salt. This was
shaken out into japanese dressing
box every night on retiring, but
enough salt remained clinging to the
cambria to secure, as she thought. the
remarkable preservation Of her hair.
DIR. Holmes has sung or gossiped about
the widening part" which is one of
the tell-tale tracks of passing years;
but until lately the prevailing fashions
of dressing the hair did not make any
parting TO show. Those who wear the
hair in true classic style, with the
pure white line from brow 10 crown,
may find some use in the following
recommendation of the New York Er-
eninJ Post for strengthening the hair
anu renewing thin spots: "To aquart
of warm water allow one tablespoon
full Of salt, and just before retiring for
the night wet the head thoroughly
with this, not along the widening
seam alone, but the entire head. Re
peat this operation for one or two
nights each week until good results
are apparent II is likely that the
vigorous rubbing which this treatment
makes necessary afterward is Of as
much use to the hair rs the saline
treatment-Phiiofeiphi1 Ledger.
