The arbitrators in the Frazier
Fox trespass case met at the Grand
Jury room in the Court House at
the appointed time on Tuesday, and
as the plaintiff in the case did not
appear judgment of default was
given in favor Of the defendant, and
the costs placed on the plaintiff.
As we have before stated it is the
general belief that this will end the
case. Frazier and his attorneys
claims that the denfense has spirited
away one of their important wit
ness and they are unable to find
him. On the other hand Fox and
his attorneys claim that the witness
can be secured without any trouble,
if he is wanted. They say that the
suit was brought through the in
fucnce OF come political enemies OF
Fox, and that they are ready tc
have it come to trial at any time
This is the situation to-day.
Frazier said the suit will be tried as
soon as this witness (Williams) can
be found, and Fox says he is ready
hut that he don't think the case will
ever come to trial. 1t looks as
though Fox was still Chairman oi

THE GIRL CAME TO LIFE.
Her Neck was. Broken, But She
Revived Alter Being Pro-
nOur iced Dead.

CUMBERLAND Md, Sept. 29.-
Wednesday evening a telegram
reached this city announcing the
death at Garrett, Pa, of Miss Mat
tie HALEY, l4year-old daughter
of Thomas HALEY, of this city.
She was visiting relatives there
and had gone out driving with a
cousin about her age. The horse
took fright and ran away, upsetting
the carriage. Miss HALEY fell on
her head and broke her neck. She
was not quite dead when help ar
rived, but before she could be
moved she apparently expired.
HER EYELIDs TwITCHED.
After all efforts to revive her had
been made by physicians and had
failed, preparations were made for
burial. She was laid out and the
undertaken was expected to place
the body in casket Tor shipment
to this city. Before he arrived the
watchers around the supposed corpse
noticed q twitching of the eyelids
and presently she aroused, al
though still unconscious.
The physicisns were again sum-
moned and treatment for her re.
covery began. They express their
opinion that she will only live a
short time.
A HARD FAMILY To KILL.
The HALEY family seem to be
possessed of wonderful vitality.
When Edward, who was years old,
was kicked in the head by a horse
and had his skull fractured, he lay
In comatose condition for long
while, and was several times re-
ported dead.
The operation of trephining was
performed and he now carries a
silver plate in his head, enjoying
the best of health.

STILL LOOKING FOR BURT.
Crowds Securing the Woods In
the Vicinity of NewtOwn.


A week has now passed since
venerable Samuel Rightly and his
aged wife, Lena, were found murder
ed and horribly burned in the house
on their little farm, two and half
miles from Newtown, Bucks county,
and the mystery surrounding the
atrocious crime is as deep as it was
Monday morning Sept 25. The only
thing that has been done in that
time has been the placing of chain
of strong cireumstantial evidence
about the Wallace Burt, the half
breed Cherokee Indian, who Slip
ped through the fingers of the au.
thorities and is still at large.
Many think that Burt is still in
the neighborhood, and this belief is
strengthened by the fact that last
Friday night the spring house of
Farmer Cooper, for whom Burt
worked prior to his sudden flight,
was broken into and a nice fat
chicken and quantity of other
provisions stolen. The half-breed
knew that edibles were kept in the
spring house, and it is thought that
only someone familiar with the
place could have gained an entrance
to it in the manner employed.
On Saturday half a hundred men,
armed with corn knives, pitchforks
and old rusty fint-locks, secured
the heavily wooded tract known as
Laurel Hill, near the Cooper farm,
but not trace of the Indian could
they find. All day yesterday parties
of from two to half a dozen men,
bers tramped over the hills and
along the bottoms of the Neshaminy
in search OF the fugitive, but they
were rewarded with nothing but
aching bones.
FARMERS AFRAID OF BURT.
In spite of the fact that they can
find no visible signs of the presence
OF the Cherokee in the vicinity
those engaged IN the search are
positive that he is not far away.
This belief is shared by District
Attorney Applebach, who will visit
Newtown this afternoon and en-
deayor to secure half dozen men
to watch in the neighborhood at
night, for the District Attorney is
satisfied that Burt can be captured
only when driven from his hidin.-
place in search Of food.
Mr. Applebach is also of the
opinion that some Of the negroes in
the vicinity know something of
Burt's whereabouts aud that they
'Ai " iHhAAAN w ttlt hlhi luUA
know for a little money. The dc
teotises working on the case have
not struck any new clues, all their
efforts being put forth to capture
the Indian, whom they think Is
near at hand. An the farmers In
tho nelghhnfho0d are afald OF
Burt, and the chances are that even
II he WAS seen he could easily C.

He Was Too Smart.

The boarding house joker has at last
met with setback. He has been crushed
by the landlady. and it came about in
this way.
He was the only nan at the table full
of lovely girls, and like all only men he
was spoiled. So when the belle Of the
table remarked that she was very fond Of
pepper and then sifted half the contents
Of the pepper box over her food he sprang
an old gag on her:
1T won't hurt you. This pepper is half
peas"
What is that you say?" asked sthe
landlady from the next table. "Speak q
little louder, won't your"
He reiterated his remark.
''That isn't true" retorted the land
lady holly. II do not use adulterated
goods on my table,"
MY dear madam" said the bland
joker, there are always a lot of ps in
pepper"
There was an impressive pause; then
the landlady said in a crushing tone:
"Oh, yes: just as you always furnish
part of the dessert"
II don't understand"

strangely Saved by . Dream.

EE :" -
1t is related that q Waterville woman,
Mrs. J. M. Cook, once had a very re-
markable vision. In her dreams she met
a man with q peculiar physiognomy, who
said to her, Your turn next" and then
disappeared. The next morning she re-
membered the mans face perfectly, but
could not recall under what circum-
stances she met him. Again she dreamed
the same thing. For weeks and months
after she would occasionally have the
same dream without the slightest varia-
ton. She began to be seriously troubled
over the occurrence and at length de-
cided to leave town.
She had been in Philadelphia q few
days when she had occasion to 60 into
Of the large buildings. Upon the
second floor she noticed that there was
an elevator and decided to wait for il.
Just at that moment it came down, and
as it went by the second story landing a
voice within said, Your turn next"
This startled Mrs. Cook, but she
thought it merely accidental that these
were the precise words of her dream and
resolved to repress her fears. The ele.
vator came up and stopped. She almost
tainted when she saw that he was the
perfect image of the man Of her dream.
Her terror can better be imagined than
described. She recovered herself quick
ly, and ordering the elevator to stop at
the next landing she got out. The ele.
vator went on. but a short distance from
the third story something gave way and
the elevator crashed to the basement,
killing the mar instantly. - Lewiston

Sick Headacne.

Attacks Of sick headache could often
be avoided if the cause of them were
known. In many instances the cause is
q disordered condition of the stomach.
In such cases there is often q regular re-
currence of the attacks, the person IN the
meantime ~feelins perfectly free from the
complaint.
Here it will often be found that by
some error of diet the patient is gradu-
ally accommodating in his system some
noxious substances, which it takes q spe
cial effort of nature to throw off. Then
the whole internal machinery refuses to
do it's ordinary work. The stomach, the
intestines. the liver and other organs
which produce the digestive juices al
most entirely cease their regular task OF
rendering the food taken into the mouth
fit for absorption into the system at large.
Sometimes ,habitual ~overeating will
produce this result, or a person who
has been constantly active may continue
to eat his usual amount of food after ex.
changing his occupation for some more
sedentary one. In either case the result
Is the same-the oy~erburdened organs
become partially paralyzed, the undi-
gested food acts as an irritant, and head
ache and general disorder in the digestive
tract prevail.
A person who has no symptoms Of
stomach disorder, or who has been
taught by his physician to avoid indis.
cretions which formerly resulted In
trouble, and who still has regularly TO
current attacks Of sick headache, must
look to ON other than these, the most
common causes Of such attacks.-Youths

brought up in luxury, but exhausting his
fortune had committed forgery to obtain

he came into contact with many young
fellows who had committed similar

they got out. When he was released, he
