SOLD HIS Wife FOR BEER.

SCRANTON, PA, February d.
4 Hungarian named IlOwiniski
lived until recently with his wife
near the Hampton NINE, in the
keiser Valley, nearly two miles
from Scranton. One Of his neigh
boring fcllow-countrymen, dark
skinned icllOw named Walowiniski
WIS without a wife, and he took
such an interest in HOWiniskis
wife that he desired to possess her.
After Walowiniski had Bon tue
affections Of Ms. IlOwiniski, he
offered to purchase her from her
husband. One evening last week
the two llungarans met at Tay-
louisville saloon, where they talked
over the matter. NalOwiniski
asked IIOWiniski how much he
would ask for his wife. HOwini-
ski cogitated for a few minutes,
and then told Walowiniski that
Mrs. uOwiniskl ought to be worth
at least one dollar. WalOwinlski
bantered IiowniskiabOut theprice,
saying that, while Mrs. Ilowiniski
might be worth all that her hus-
band asked, he could not afford to
pay so much. llOwlnlski finally
agreed to sell Mrs. lIowinIski 20
Walowiniski for a quart Of beer,
and Walowniskl took him up at
once. Walowiniski paid for the
quart Of beer, set it before llO-
winiski, and then lett the saloon
and went directly to IlOwinisKrs
house TO elaine his property. AS
soon as Walowiniski told Mrs. lIO-
winiski that she was his property
10y purchase, and that her husband
was then i'm the act OF swallowing
the price which he had received Tor
her, Mrs. llowinlski packed up her
duds and accompanied Walowini-
ski to his bachelor quarters IN a
shanty not far away. They re
manned there only long enough for
WalowiniSki to bundle up his few
personal effects, when they disap-
peared from the neighborhoOd.
llOwiniSki retured to his dOmi.
Gle shortly after he had guzzled
the beer. He had forgotten all
about the sale Of his wife, and when
he had Tummaged all through tho
shanty in search Of her and failed
TO find her, he was an unhappy
Hungarian. He hurried around
among his Hungarian acquaintan-
ces and declared that he was mere
~ Joking when he promised to sell
his wife to WalOwinlski for a quart
beer said he did not suppose that
NalOwnlski would take her any
how, and was in a pitiable state Of
mind. Then II0winiSki FASTENED
10 the police station and told the
officers that he wanted them to ar
rest Walowlniski and Mrs. uO-
wlnlski, rs they had run away to-
gethcr. The police made an effort
to find the couple, but their efforts
amounted to naught, for Walowinl-
SKI was sharp enough to leave the
LackaWanna valley as soon as he
had secured Mrs. lIowiniski. HO.
wnlski is now the most desp0nd-
ent person in the Hungarian colo
uy, and he has registered a solemn
oath that he will kill Walowiniski
If he ever finds him in the company
of Mrs. lIowiniski.

An Old Couple Robbed.

GREENsBURG, Pa, March ..
About seven o'clock Saturday even
ing, Grapevillc, a small, staid town
on the PIKE, about four miles west
Of this place, was the scene OF one
of the bOldest rObberies ever com
United in this county. The victims
were John Snyder and his wife,
aged sixty and seventy years,
respectively. Mr.. Snyder went to
the door for some purpose, and
while there saw three men standing
but a few feet distant, who stated
that they had come "to make that
gas lease all right" rs soon as
they were inside they assaulted
Mr.. Snyder, and, after . desperate
struggle, oyerpowered him. He
was thrown to the floor with such
violence that his shoulder was dis
located. Two Of the men tied his
hands and feet, and the third one
then jumped at Mrs. Snyder. She
was pairing apples with "A large
knife, and he ierked it out OF her
hand, and in 50 doing cut the third
finger of her right hand. The brute
then choked her until she was I'M
conscious. She screamed, and they
took shirt which was lying ON
tho bed and covered her head. The
three men bound her hands and
feet, and one Of them stood on her
breast and tTampled OH her face.
Her eyes are blOOdshOt and her
face discOlOred from the outrage,
The flesh is party torn from her
hands where the ropes were tied.
They then took a feather bed and
covered her head, and she remain
ed in this unconscious condition
three hours, during which they
ransacked the house. Not finding
anything of value, they demanded
money, and in case OF non-compli-
ance, they thres tened to apply the
torch. All they received was Il
ten dollar gold piece and wallet.
The robbers then left. and several
hours later the old couple were dis
covered and released from their
unpleasant predicamcnt. Both are
in "a critical condition.

At PerryvlIle, Mcdowell county,
Tom Cline, alias the Devil, was
fatally shot by George Lee. The
two men met on tho road just out
of town, and while talking about a
revival now in progress there,
Lee remarked that he had not
prayed for some time, when Cline
responded that he had better try
or he would forget how. Angry
words followed, and Cline drew a
revolver and compelled Loe to fall
on his knees aud offer up a petition.
Lee then went home and obtained
n rifle, md watching for Cline,
shot himc through the body. Lee

He was accompanied by the presi-
dent, Mayor Haynes, Mr.. Kenny
and most Of the others already

Senator Riddle5erger was received
with great warmth. lie made Il
very short address, in the course
of which he said that the smallest
part an American citizen can do az
this time for Ireland Is TO raise his
voice in her cause and 10 lend her
his moral and material support in
her great struggle for her rights.

When the Senator concluded he
was given rousing cheer. Mr..
b. NJ. Gallagher, the popular come
dian, gave some character recita-
tons, which kept the large audi
enee in roars OF laughter Then
came an hours dancing. The mana
gers announced that, in conse-
quence of the great generosity
of the merchants, there were large
number Of valuable articles which
nothing had as yet been done with,
and, therefore, the necessity OF
more time, it had been decided to
continue the bazaar on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday nights this
coming week, A. the Catholic In
stitute in New street. Ii was also
announced that Mr.. Gallagher had
offered his services on all three
nights. This evening there will 10

others, will appear Mrs. Blewltt, a
fine soprano singer, Master Pagan,
the Violinist, and other talent.

After the polls closed for the
Croke picture contest last evening
Mr.. Henderson, of Mulyaney X
Henderson, turned up with $40
more to add on account Of the y.

vote would not count, but the cash
would doubtless be received the
same as will this sum.

a well-known lady of Macon,
Ga, has curious superstition.
Upon entering a room for the first
time she stands in the centre and
bows to each corner. She declares
that this exhibition of politeness is
intended TO prOpitiate the spirits.
According to her belief, each room
in every house has a collection OF
spirits peculiarly ITS own. There
are several gentlemen in Macon
who bow to the spirits, but they do
so only in such rooms as have bar
attachments for keeping the spirits
in their proper places.

He Knew When to Stop.

Talking about lucky deals in stocks, {"
said a broker the other day, 4 know of
a case which beats anything in the shoe
string line l ever heard of. Last June q
young clerk on La Sale street got a tip
on St. Paul. 1t was about the time Ar
mour went into that stock, and the way
the clerk got it the stuff was sure to 90
up steadily to the country mark He
had 800 in bank, and he drew it out
and put it into St. Paul through a buck
et-shop. He bought $50 shares, which
gave him 80 margin. He paid IS.
Sure enough, the quotations began to
creep up, and when they reached 60, a
few weeks later. he was $3.50 ahead. He
drew out his profits, returned his 500
to the bank so that he couldn't lose any,
thing, and Immediately bought 1875
shares with his $3.50. It wasn't long
until the price touched 20, when he sold
out again and again invested his profits.
He repeated this at rs, at 80, at 90, and
again at 90, the quotations gradually
creeping up to that figure, and never
once sagging back enough to wipe out
his margin. That was early last No
vember, about four months from the
time he started in with 800 capital.
And how much money do you suppose
he had then? Five thousand? Guess
again. Seven? More, sir. He had more
than $4,000. and than he got scared,
drew out entirely and invested his whole
pile in real estate. And it was well he
