fortune in Harrisburg last week. He car
ried in his hip pocket, his wallet, which con-
tained $l26 in cash and check for $S5.
He wore short sack coat, and it is suppos-
ed that the impression of the book attracted
attention, and thief relieved him of it by
making long cut across the bottom of his
pants and sliding the book out. He first
discovered 1t upon arriving home. He can
not definitely state where he lost it, but he
Is under the impression that it was done at
the Pennsylvania depot. 1t was a great loss
TO him.
Last Wednesday young man from the
west end of the county, intended to go to
the far west on Fast Line on that day. He
expected to get his ticket from friend in
Altoona. When the train arrived at this
station he was informed that they could
not take his baggage, and that ne should
wait on the next section which would be
due In few minutes. The second section
did come, but instead Of stopping ran past
the station and continued Its course to the
west, at what seemed to the patiently wait
ing young man, a frightful rate of speed.
This so affected him that he changed his
mind, and started up the valley, toward his
old home, saying, that he didn't want to
go west.
The Altoona Tribune of the 18th inst,
says: Sometime ago mention was made of
counterfeit silver dollars of the year 1885
being in circulation in Altoona. Another
spurious coin can now be made mental note
of by our merchants and others. Yesterday
business house took in two 81 silver pieces
of the year 1884. These counterfeits are
lighter than the genuine coins, but in hand
ling any quantity of silver dollars at one
time, might easily be taken for good mon
ey. A close inspection will reveal that
they have a greasy feeling and the letter
ing is not altogether perfect. Keep on a
lookout for them. 1t would seem that a
detective might find a fine field here to work
in
A case of too much marriage is related by
the Huntingdon Globe, of last week, as fol-
lows: Lille Klohr, OF Bedford, was mar
ried in Philadelphia, on February 6,lsS4, to
George Restine, but after a month of wed
ded life in Wilmington, Del, her husband
deserted her and entered the regular army,
being now stationed at Fort Leavenworth.
Mrs nhsa al 70
adelphia and took up her abode with her
mother-in-law, but was soon after sent to
her home in Bedford, where she attempted
to commit suicide by shooting. Failing to
accomplish this, she refunded to Philadel
phia, where she was married again about a
month ago to Albert b. Evans, of Vince
town, n. j., whom she first met 10 a con-
cert saloon in PHILADELPHIA. As her first hus-
band, however, is still in the land of the
living, the latter marriage was of course
void and of no legal effect, and taking ad-
band he could be called, suddenly sought
pastures new and after a briet courtship took
unto himself another wife in the person of
Miss Kate Mack, of Mount Holly, N. J., to
whom he was married at Trenton week ago
Saturday night.
The following is from the North Ameri-
can of a recent date: Peter Gerhart, 3l2
north Sixty and 0ne-half street was before
Magistrate Thompson yesterday charged
with assaulting his wife.
SHE'S Democratic politician" said the
wife, "aud he's been drunk off and on for
the past seventeen years. As he hadn't CIV
en- me any money in a long time asked him
for some Thursday. Instead Of giving me the
cash he beat me dreadfully."
"what have you to say, Peterl" asked the
Court.
"Why, she $ always at me for money, and
rve given her plenty off and on when l had
it."
.'Yes, brit how about you being drunk ~
"Well, get that way at times. just like
you or any other man but I'm sober often
enough. 1t Grover Cleveland hadn't gone
back on me I'D be all right now. He's no
Democrat"
"That's got nothing to do with you
thra shing Mrs. Gerhart. Eight hundred
dollars bill Is the thing for you.n
Last week one night man and boy
ing store by way OF the back door. One of
them bored hole with an inch and qnar
ter auger through the upper panel of the
back door. The panel is an adjustable one
and is lifted off during the day to admit
light through the window in the upper part
of the door. The auger passed through the
pannel and struck the glass with such force
that pane was broken into pieces and fell
with such jingling noise, that the thieves
fed from the scene Of the contemplated rob-
berry. They fled across a freshly dug piece
of garden in Stray er's yard to the stable and
there climbed the fence between the Stray
er and Pennell lots, into Pennell's yard.
They had come in that way as is evidence
by their tracks in the newly dug garden.
The 10y was Darefooted and left a perfect
imprint of his feet in the soft ground. The
mans imprint looked as if he wore a num-
Der six or seven. They left in such haste
that they failed to take their tools with them
The auger, a brace, and chisel were left al
the door and a hammer that hal done ser
vice to fastcn double tree to the butt end
of a wagon tongue was left at the fence
where they climbed into the lot. The tools
had been taken from Haines' wagon shop,
which is proved by the fact that he identi-
fled them as his property. The probability
is the boy was in his bare feet for the pur-
pose of moving noiselessly through the
store after an entrance had been made, while
his older thief companion should stand guard
at the door.
An amusing incident in the experience Of
Jndge Barnett took place during the time
that be was here at the late court. One ev-
