butcher of Cambria, owed Fisher & Co.,

several times by Mr.. j. NJ. Shumaker, the

effects here and was about ready to de-
part for Germany. He was arrested at the
z. r. r. Station, charged with the inten-

COURT PROCEEDINGS.
peciai rerm-The First Days Work.

Special Term-The FIRST Days WORK.
Court met at P. NJ, on Monday, moth
ing having been done at the morning ses-
sion on account of the late arrival Of the
train.
The first seven cases were either con-
tinued or attachments were issued for
witnesses. In the case of Patrick Stanton
against Charles Zimmerman a Jury was
called and sworn. The counsel for tie
defense stated that it was an appeal from
the decision of justice of the peace and
that question of jurisdiction would
likely arise. The court asked to see the
transcript of the Justices record, and
when he had examined it he ruled that
on the face of the transcript the justice
lad 20 jurisdiction. The counsel for the
plaintiff submitted to q judgment for non
suit with leave to move to strike off said
Judgment of non-suit whenever his client
was prepared to commence the suit in
court. The merits of the case were not
entered into. The only point raised was
as to the jurisdiction OF the justice.
The next case called was that of Gal
lagher VS.. Flynn Brothers. A jury was
called aud sworn, and the case had not
been disposed of when court adjourned,
Monday evening.

A Contest of Colors.

Up in the red mans country, in which
representatives of nearly all races ap-
pear to have congregated, there was
fistic contest between Messrs. Blue and
White, and strangely enough they were
both black. The black men were ar
rested by red man and tried before
white man. 1t was not war of races
or of color. Galveston News.

it be possible that any wicked person or

Physicians appear to conform quite
generally to the familiar injunction to
heal themselves, save where the COM
plant is old age. The average age of
the decedents of the Massachusetts Medi-

the high figure of sixty-eight years and
a half, which comes very close to the
span of life allotted to man by the

Injured at the johnson Works

John Klott, who works on the hot-bed
in the rolling mill of the johnson Com
pany, at Moxham, met with an accident
yesterday which might have terminated
his life. He was walking between the
hOt-bed and the "curver " when a red
hot rail came out from the saw and struck
him on the right leg, inflicting fearful
wound about ten inches long and three or
four inches wide. DR.. Lowman attended
the injured man. A man named Miller,
who worked with Klott, said that if the
riil had struck him squarcly it would
have certainly killed him.
