named Charles Westcott, convicted in the
Lackawanna court of larceny. He is one OF
the the two sons of D. E. Westcott, who,
with his wife, created a sensation by cruelty
toward his sons, Charles and Willie. The
boys seemed to have a mania for stealing.
To break them of the habit Mrs. Westcott
took Willie knelt by a red-hot stove, and
placing mis- bare hands on it prayed for him,
asking him to unite with her in prayer The
boy begged piteously for mercy, yelling so
loud from the pain of the burns that the
neighborhood was startled. Charles was tor
tured in the same way by both father and
mother. Still the boys continued to steal.
On another occasion Charles was compelled
to stand upon the head of barrel for three
hours. The jury acquitted the Westcotts OF
cruelty to their children.

House his veto of the bill to levy State tax

once started back The brakeman, for some
reason, did not notice it, and went back
some distance before they stopped He
then jumped off and ran to flag
section two, which was coming, but
before he had gone but few
rods it came rushing by and ran into the ca
boose of the stray cars with terrific force,
completely demolishing nine cars and the
locomotive. In the caboose was the conduc-
tor, asleep, and the fireman. Henry Sarles,
who was sick. The conductor was crushed
and mangled terribly, and died soon after he
was found. Strange to say the fireman was
thrown forty feet into field, uninjured. The
conductors name was Samuel Mccoy. He had
been on the road four years, and resided at
Orleans Ind. Had he been attending to

time to prevent the wreck. The loss to the
