cured q bottle OF Chamberlain Pain Balm and

great curiosity; but after time some
neighbors made her acquaintance, and
learned that she was in search of the
crown of James III.
Legend and romance soon took root
in the soil upturned by this woman's
mysterious diggings on her estates, and
rumor finally said that the lady, Nine.

of the fleur de lis, as everybody knew,
was on her shoulder. Moreover, in her

The Trouble Between william Aaron and

went before Justice w. II. Davis and
swore out warrant for Martin Kraft,
charging him with malicious destruction
Of property. Before swearing out the
warrant, Otto Aaron bounced Kraft and
gave him pretty good drubbing. For
this Aaron was fined $40 and costs In
Police Court yesterday morning, but the
fine was afterward reduced to IS. The
whole matter will come up before JUS
tice Davis to-day, Kraft being released
on $500 bail, his brother going on his
bond.
This makes the fourth or fifth time
Kraft has been arraigned on this or
similar warrants, issued by Mrs. Aaron
or her son. The former has been most
numerically prosecuted by some one,
said by them to be Kraft, for months
past, the outrages taking the form OF
bricks, boulders, ETC., which have been
sent crashing through the windows Of
Mrs. Aaron's residence at all hours OF
the night. Six or eight windows have
been wrecked in this way, and on two
or three occasions inmates OF the house
have narrowly escaped being hit. Kraft
has been arrested on the charge OF doing
the mischief, but conviction, under
such circumstances must necessarily be
a difficult matter, and he has always
gotten off free.

A Picnic Hold Under Roof.

The members of st. James German
Lutheran Church, and the scholars o.
the Sunday school, had arranged to pic
mic, yesterday, at Ridgeway's Grove,
but the heavy rain and general threat
ening weather of the morning made the
trip to the country seem inexpe-

to hold the picnic in the basement
of..the church. Thither all connected
with the affair accordingly repaired
and the picnic was held all during the
day, everyone present voting it one OF
the most delightful social occasions
they had participated in recently. In
the evening the picnic was transformed
into festival, and during the day and
evening over five hundred people were
fed. About $500 was Melted as result
of the occasion.
One of the novel features Of the even
ing was a guessing match as to the
weight of two large hams donated by
Mr.. Otto Schenk. A great many guesses
were made, at five cents each, and at
the close the hams were weighed, when
it was found two married ladies were
the successful guessers. Mr.. Schenk
then cut the cut the hams, when, to the
great amusement OF everyone, they were
found to be filed with sawdust and
stones.

Murphy heard the sound Of skiff oars on

skiff pulled alongside the trading

freight, which consisted Of several hun
dred pounds Of iron along with quite a
lot Of valuable rope, evidently the prop
erty of the Etna and Standard Iron
Companies, and of the contractors who
have been putting up the iron work on
the "Back" river bridge. The officers
arrived upon the scene just as the men
had commenced to unload the stolen
property and placed them under arrest.
They admitted having stolen part OF
their load and claimed Wellsburg as
their home, but later developments
go TO show that Kindleber-
