The following was handed to the RE-
PUBLICAN this morning as paid adj
vertisement:
Annie Myers, better known as Annie
Perry, living on French street, was the
one that administered the drugs to
Mary Il. Handy, and then left her to
die in her mothers house, She is the
one that led her away in the first place.
She was a nice girl.
Before publishing the above re-
porter called on Smith, who is held In
default of bail, and he pronounced
1t untrue in every respect. At his re-
quest Miss Handy, his alleged victim,
was also seen, and she said there was
not one word of truth In 1t, She says
that the medicine which she took was
placed in Smiths pocket, and that she
took 1t out herself. She does not
blame hfm in any respect. A consta-
bic took her before Squire Sasse this
morning, when she entered bail in $500
for her appearance at court as a wit
ness. The bail OF Smith has been re-
duced to $4,000, but he is still in Gus
tody, and will probably be sent to Jail
this afternoon.

The West Chester Republican of last
Saturday was one of the best and lin.
est papers ever issued in Pennsylvania
outside of Philadelphia It had six
teen pages, and in addition to full
description of the town had full and
interesting notices OF the prominent
men of the place. The work was done
by Alfred Collins, lato of this city, and
reflects great credit upon him. In a
few days Mr. Collins expects to do
similar work for u peninsula paper,
and there Is no doubt but there will be
as great demand for them, us there
was for the West Chester Republican.
Mr., Collins is an experienced iourIla.
list, and all his articles are readable
and interesting.
