Arrested on Suspicion.

On Wednesday Of last week some
person entered the house Of A. G. Best
near Hopkins mill. when there was no
one at home, and took therefrom forty
dollars In cash. No one had been seen
near the house but Russian Jew
peddler. Thursday morning Policeman
Mineer and Mr.. Best got on the Brook
vile accommodation to go to Falls
Greek To look for the man whom they
supposed had increased his exchcquer
somewhat at Mr.. Best's expense. When
near Pancoast the peddler was seen at
u farm house. The men who were
looking for him, got off the train at
Pancoast and walked back until they
met the Russian. AS soon rs he was
TO cry like child. The man was
thoroughly searched but the money was
not found. The officer brought him to,
town to find out whether he had sent
any money away. As nothing could be
found against the man, he was released.
Then he got his mad up. He could not
talk English, but when he was told to
go his Russian tongue managed TO
twist around n conglomeration of curse
words for Mincer's especial benefit.
The ungenerous peddler was mad
because the officer did not end him
guilty. Some one who lives not more
than ten miles from Hopkins mill will,
no doubt, spend the stolen money in
Reynoldsville.

With Shining Pail.

Here's what the papers are reciting:
An humble boy with shining pail went
gaily singing down the dale to where
the COW with brindle tail on the clover
pasture did regale. A humble bee did
gaily sail over the soft and shady vale
to where the boy with shining pail
was milking the COW with a brindle
tail. The bee lit down on the cows
left ear, her heels flew up through the
atmosphere, and through the leaves Of
a chestnut tree the boy scared into
eternity.

handed in his resignation, which takes

He was Drunk.

Last Saturday when the west bound
mail train was due man, who was
almost too drunk to walk, passed the
railroad station and started up the
track. He had only gone n short
distance when he came to place where
u sidewalk was built across the track
and there he lay down to wait until the
world stopped revolving so rapidly.
The mans body was on the outside of
the track and his head was resting on
the soft side of the first plank inside
the rails. He was discovered just in
time to be rescued from his perilous
position. 1t may be possible that the
fellow was anxious to "shuille off this
mundane sphere" as he was stretched
out with his hands at his side when
snatched from the path Of the iron
steed. When told of his danger he
said, ~ don't care"

A Narrow Escape.

Miss Lulu Reynolds, the only lady
bicycle rider in this place, had very
narrow escape from being crushed
under the wheels Of u ponderous loco
motive last Monday morning. She had
been to the A. V. R'y station and was
on her way home and deliberately
crossed the II. & f. c. R'y track in
front Of an approaching train. She
had cleared the track about n foot and
a half when the iron horse snorted
past. The young lady said ~ never
thought Of the train" Miss Reynolds
stopped at Patsy Walsh's store long
enough to allow her eyes to get into
their normal position and her nerves
settled before she attempted to ride her
bicycle up town. Hereafter she will
hardly become so enraptured with her
wheel that she will not see an
approaching train.
