SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DTsPATcHI
WILKEsBARRE, Dec. 25-A queer case
is that of Rev. Peter Roberts, now in Jail,
who has every reason to fear that he will be
kept in Jail after his term expires. Five
weeks ago, the gentleman named, pastor of
the Plymouth Congregational Church of
this place, went to the Lackawanna county
Jail il default of s., 900 damages awarded to
Miss Husaboe for breach of promise.
While a student at Yale, Roberts made
love TO her and promised marriage. He
then secured the pastorate at HYDE Park,
where he married another. He has the
money to pay, but acting upon the advice
o. his congregation, who believed him inno-
cent, he refused to pay it, as they thought
it would be tantamount to confession OF
guilt He is daily visited by the young
women and matrons of his church, who
bring him fruit and flowers. He does not
wear the prison garb, and mas access to all
corridors.
He has two months vet to serve. The
warden saws he thinks the Lord sent Mr.
Roberts 20 Jail to convert sinners there, and
that he bad made a paradise of the place.
Preacher Roberts great theory FOR cure-all
is patience. The first thing in the morning
he will pray in private. Then he will eat a
dainty breakfast, after which he will give
religious consolation to the other prisoners.
One old sinner who had not prayed for 40
years, now prays daily. He has also given
M the use of tobacco and profanity. In
fact, every one is on his good behavior.
There is a cloud in the sky, however,
ana the preacher fears that he will be kept
in Jail even after his term expires. Miss
Husaboe's counsel say that three months in
Jail will by no means liquidate fine of
s., 900, and that he will be kept there as
much longer as they can secure sentence.
Miss Husaboe herself is quite broken
hearted. and says she will keep the minis
ter in Jail as long as she can.
In addition to his labors as Christian
missionary in jail, Rev. Mr.. Roberts finds
time to edit the Blade a weekly paper.
Twice week the Office boy comes for copy.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.'
BELLEFoNTE, Dec. 25.-Wilson, the es-
capped murderer, has not yet been heard
from, though officers are still on his track,
and he may be apprehended at any moment.
1t is thought by some that be has not left
this vicinity, and that he is in hiding some
where, secrete6 by some friends whom he
made while here.
His escape was matter of long and hard
labor, as he has been working at the
mortar between the stones for many weeks.
The mortar had all been carefully removed,
and the cracks stuffed with paper and then
covered with mortar lightly, in order to
avoid suspicion. When Wilson had all the
stones loosened, he broke leg off his iron
bedstead, and using it as lever, tore out
one of the bars across the window. He then
found it an easy matter to crawl through,
drop to the ground and get away.

rsPEcIAL TKLEGRAA TO THE pIsPArcH.i
MEADv1LLE, Dec. 25.-As an evidence
that Conneaut lake is so full of black bass
that they must be crowdIng each other for
room, it is said that a young man named
Van Sicklen captured a big one with his
hands Yesterday. The young man was
skating near the shore, and the ice was so
thin and clear that he could plainly see the
bass as they swan beneath his feet towards
the shore.
Following the streak, the unique fisher
man discovered the fish wedged so close to
the ice, and in some weeds, that he could
not withdraw. 1t was then an easy matter
to stamp hole in the ice, and seize the fish
by the tail and pull him to the shore. The
fish proved to be a handsome 80 pound
black bass-a large fish for even these game
waters.

First of all. Scrofula is inherited. The large

Second, Scrofula may be acquired by trying

which fails to supply the blood with enough Of

Third, confinement in poorly ventilated

PARNELL's FRlelO AUsTeRlTY.
He Is Now Reaping the Reward of His Nn-
merous Sights and Rebuffs.


merous Sights and Rebuffs.
"Parnell." said well-known local
politician yesterday, sis reapiDg the
results Of his austerity and exclusiveness.
1t is oil well enough for a man to go
through life with an air OF such frigid
reserve that even his most devoted
friends fail TO pierce it, and there is no
doubt that statesmen whose lives are
passed in seclusion and who treat even
their intimate associates with lofty dis
dain secure a wonderful power over all
of their confrereS. The man who
is icy, cold, austere, and shrewd
makes far better leader
while his power lasts than tho man
who secures the affection as well as the
assistance OF the leading men of his
party. No man ever knew Parnell to
grow genial or warm over the work OF
his able lieutenants. IL after months of
heroic service in Jail William O'Brien
hurried to Parnells side he was received
frigidly and dstantly He deigned to
make no man his friend, and he sneered
at the idea Of magnetism in public
leader. No one questions his great
and conspicuous ability, his pa
triotism, or devotion to the Irish
cause. But the men who have
been toiling side by side with him for
many years are not capable OF blindly
worshipplng him always. Men like Dill
Ion, O'Brien, and Davitt have been re-
fused even moments audience with the
leader Of the party after travelling hun
dreds OF miles TO see him. When the
crisis III MIR. Parnel's life arrived he
turned to his associates in the Irish cause
for support. Practically he commanded
them to uphold him. Then came the re-
action. The memory of sights aud re-
butts extending over period OF many
years was too strong TO be wiped away in
day. Parnell showed himself poor
judge OF human nature in thinking that
he could rely absolutely upon his lieu
tenants when be gave them such mag.
nihcent opportunity for taking their
revaage"
