BETSEY AND | ARE OUT.
Carleton's Old Ballad Re-Enacted in
Cambria County Home.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Feb. 10.-Fifty years
ago Peter Sharbaugh and Annie Noel were
married. The families of both were among
the pioneer settlers of Cambria county, and
their names have been honorably connected
with many of the important developments
of it's history during the present century.
Soon after their marriage the young couple
settled on a farm near Carrollton. They
were happy, Industrious. thrifty and
amassed a handsome fortune.
Yesterday, in accordance with their own
fixed purpose, strengthened by the advice
of friends and relatives, they separated TO
live the rest of their lives apart. To his
wife Mr.. Sharbaugh signed a quit claim
deed for the old homestead, where they
their children grew up to manhood and
womanhood. For himself the old gentle
man took a sufficient sum of ready money
to maintain him in plain comfort during
the rest of his life The parting scenes, in
view of all the circumstances, were intense
ly dramatic. Sharbaugh is seventy-one
years old, and the wife is seventy. His
traps had been removed from the old
home, and his grip, packed with the imme-
date neceSSarfeS OF homeless man, sat
behind him while the final papers were
drawn up and signed in the presence of
friends and children. Then the old man,
without home in the twilight of his life,
quietly took up his gripsack, and crossed
the old home threshold for the last time.
Where he went nobody seems to know. The
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Sharbaugh are
among the most prominent people in Cam
bria county, the sons being wealthy bus
ineSS men.

PlTTSBURG, Feb. ia strange story
OF romance and crime developed yesterday
by the arrival in Pittsburg OF Deputy Sher-
Ill Porter, OF Athens, o. He came here to
take back TO the Buckeye State Josepha
Malcaski, comely young Polish woman,
who was arrested on board a train at the
Union Depot, bound for New York. Six
weeks ago the girl was induced to come to
this country by John Frolich. They had
been sweethearts in Poland. and when Fro

stancy. He settled in mining settlement
north of Jacksonville, o.
About the last of December Frolich had
accumulated enough money to buy a cabin,
and sent letter to his sweetheart inclos-
ing $47 TO pay her passage to America Jo-
sepha arrived on Jan. 20. She proceeded
straight TO Jacksonville, where her lover
awaited her. When he saw her his ardor
evaporated. The comely lass of six years,
before, whom he had cherished, had
changed TO what he said was gross vul-
gar-loOktng woman. FrOlich decided at
once that she would never be his wife
Nevertheless, he took her to the mining
settlement Working with FrOlich in the
mines was Alexander Baor. Frolch con-
ceiVed the idea of selling his sweetheart to
Baor, who wanted a wife His mining part
ner agreed to the proposition. and bought
the young woman for $47, the amount Fro
Itch had paid TO bring her TO America.
Baor is not comely man. and when the
maiden him she protested strongly
against the exchange of husbands. Her
former lover was ineXorable, however, and
as she had no money to return to her
home, Josepha was forced TO submit. Upon
obtaining her consent, BaOr made elabOr-
ate preparations for the wedding festivities
He purchased twenty-fOur kegs of beer and
an apparently eXha1stless quantity Of bread
and cheese. On the day prior to that set
for the marriage. Feb. 6. he installed
Josepha in the house. The day following
ha went out to secure the priest and notify
his friends to appear at the wedding cere-
mony. When he returned Josepha had dis
appeared, and with her went $500 which
Baor had saved. The latter followed her to
Jacksonville. where he notified the police
with the result that Josepha was arrested

Pittsburg this morning. She says she was
SO angry over her treatment that she took
the money to get home.

Robert Fulford, the ACTRESSES Husband,
Indirectly Charged with Hurrying
His Wife to Her End,
WITH CREMATING THE BODY
To Prevent an Inquiry the Mother
Wanted to Have Made,
And with Changing the Will so as to
GObble All the Estate-YigOrOus De-
mails from FulfOrd and Miss Joyce.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Associated Press
has investigated the London end of the
ported mysterious death Of Annie Pixley,
the well-known American actress. and the
rumored disappearance of her property.
When this dispatch is published Mr.. Robert
Fulford, the husband of the deceased ac-
tress. Annie Joyce, the much-talked-of maid
of the dead actress. and Mrs. Frazer.
sister of Mr.. Fulford, will be in New York
city, for which place they sailed a week
ago on board the steamship New York.
From Mrs. Edwin Fulford, wife Of the
brother of Robert Fulford, in whose house
Annie PiXley died, reporter obtained the
information given here. Mrs. Edwin Full
ford said that she received Annie Pixley at
her house in September last, when the ac-
tress returned dying, from the United
States. Mrs. Fulford says that she nuTsed
Annie tenderly throughout her sickness, and
that she was present at her death. Mrs. Full
ford also spoke bitterly of Annie Pixley's
mother, who, she declares, always showed
animosity for the actresses husband, who,
during his wife's illness, according to Mrs.
Edwin Fulford, scarcely left Annie's bed
side for moment. Two eminent physicians,
DR.. Paramore and DR.. Barlow attended
the deceased during her illness. Mr.. Robert
Fulford allowed his mother-in-aw SIS
month, which sum he promised 10 continue
after Annies death. Nevertheless, Annies
mother, when informed of her demise, wrote
to Mr.. Robert Fulford limiting at all kinds
of dark deeds and concluding with the sug-
gestion that cremation was resorted to In
order to preclude any further investigation
into the death of the American actress. In
a second letter, Mrs. Fulford further stated.
Annie PiXley's mother wrote: Now that
she is cremated, nothing can be done to
YOU" Annie's will is deposited in Philadel-
phia, and Mr.. Fulford has gone to the
United States in order to distribute her
property in accordance with the terms of
the will.

to this country with me- SO that it will not
be difficult to refute these cruel and out
rageOus calumneS."
Miss Joyce was next interviewed by the
reporter. Miss Joyce is an attractive-look-
ing young woman. and wore a neat mourn
ing suit and a jaunty crepe bonnet. She
said: There is absolutely no truth in the
stories connecting me with the death of
Miss Pixley. 1 do not know what has been
said, and shall ignore the statements and
charges made against me entirely. The
charges you mention as those that have
been circulated simply preposterous,
and, so far as / am concerned, / court the
fullest inquiry into the death of Miss Pix
ley far as my attendance OF her during q
her last illness is concerned or otherwise"

had not been home for years, and desired
TO quietly visit with his family on the
other side long enough to recover from
the shock OF his wife's death, which wa
very great, as could be shown by my per-
soI2l correspondence with him.
The powders which prescribed for Miss
Pixley, and about which so much has been
said, were simply bismuth and soda 10

EASTER <=SUNDAY 2fl4|

The funeral occurred from the resi-
dence yesterday afternoon, Rev. L. L.
Hanscom, of the Methodist church,
this city, officiating. It was attended
by large circle of relatives, friends
and acquaintance of the deceased,
who cherish his memory.
Mr.. March was born in the north of
Ireland about II years ago. He came
to Canada with his parents when but
two years old, and worked on a farm
in the Dominion until he was about
% years old, when he came to Wis
consin. Later he farmed it in Frank
lin county, New York, and removed
here about Is year ago, locating on
his present valuable farm three miles
east Of the city. He was married to
Miss Eliza. March, second cousin.
about 81 years ago, and they have two
children, both grown up. Mr.. March
has been successful farmer, and
made farming pay during all the years
of his residence here. He was kind

ideal home girl would not come down
in the morning with her hair done up
in papers; and the ideal church girl
would not set her cap for the minis
ter.
He thought that there was not
enough stick-to-it-iveness in the girl
of this period, and that they we're not
using over one-quarter of the think
ing power that the brain will stand
The girls of Redwood would be su-
perior to the Scotch girls, with the
one exception that the Scotch girls
have course in life and their brain
power is put to work very early.
The want of respect for sacred
things, such as giggling, laughing,
etc., in church, want of respect for
the aged, we're also faults in girls.
He closed his sermon by saying
that if men did as much work as the
women we would have grand work
for the Lord, and a better world.

the February salary, and the Chief,
with bland smile, after thanking His
Honor for the notification, pocketed
the voucher, walked over to the bank
and had it cashed. The questions up
on which Acknowledgement Childs
was asked for an opinion, follows:
l. Has the said William Crooks the
right to hold office a longer term than
one year without being reappointed?
2. Has the mayor the legal right to
remove from said Office the chief OF
police without the consent of the COM
mon council?
3. If the chief of police is entitled
to hold office until his successor is APP
pointed and qualified, can he do SO
without filing an oath of office and
getting new bond within the time
limited for officers to qualify?
4. Is the mayor responsible for the
actions of the acting chief of police
after the said notice of removal and
the appointment of his successor, If
the common council fail to approve
any of the nominations for chief OF
police, such acting chief of police not
being appointed by him?
The encouragement holds that the
said William Crooks has right to
hold office for term of one year and
until his successor is elected and quail
flied, and thinks that the provision in
the charter which creates the office
was intended to cover the division OF
sentiment apparently existing between
the mayor and the common council
anticipating that just what has oc.
Cured might occur at some time
Continuing Mr.. Childs tells the mayor
A nomination by you is not, how.
ever, the equivalent of an appoint
ment. Before a successor to Mr..
Crooks can be lawfully appointed
your nomination, whatever it may be-

about seven o'clock last Monday morn

the little family gathered around the
breakfast table about that time, and
while the breaths were taken in the
short, quidk gasps, taken during the
two days before his demise, the family
did not expect his death so soon
When they returned to his bedside
his spirit had joined the thousands be-

cause.

YOUR FAULTS, GIRLS.
Rev. John Sinclair Entertains a
LARGE Crowd Sunday Evening.

Rev John Sinclair's lecture on
Faults of Young Girls" at the Pres
byterian church Sunday night drew
out crowded house. Laughter was
mingled with pathos. He thought,
as Ruskin does, that girls should dress
with two mirrors in the mornipg-one
for the body, and one, the bible for
the mind. They are poorly dressed il
they only dress the body. He thought
that there were few girls in this town
that kept the word Of God on their
toilet table, while in the old country
one was sure to be found in every
room of every house. He contended
that she would be stronger girl
throughout the day if she dressed her
soul with but one verse of the bible
each morning.
There was too much time given to
the matter of dressing the body, he
said. Too much the following of
fashion. He remembered the Grecian
bend and the Princess Alexandria
limp had created Juror in the 400 of
Edinburgh, and they were the two
most hideous freaks of fashion he
knew of. He wouldn't wear hat that
he couldn't keep on his head without
holding it there. He would throw it
away, go bareheaded. He thought
the placing of No. 2 shoe on No.
4 foot, was a foolish, miserable emu
lation of fashion. A simple calico
dress was much neater than swell
gown. He had called on a young lady
in this town once iand the top button
of her dress was in the third or fourth
buttonhole, sign of uutidiness, as
was also the placing of a stamp care
lessly on an envelope. Thoughtless-
ness, handkerchief flirtations we're al
so bad faults. Ten years of age was
too early for girl to have beau
Some girls went to the postoffice
nightly to make meeting place with
the young men.
The minister here read letter from
some young man about town to Tho
effect that the fault he found will
his girls was that she was like tn
Irishman's lea-he didn't know whe1
she was his. The same letter gave j
that the ideal society girl was ON

CHIEF OF POLICE CROOKS.
He Smiles Blandly and Will
Draw His Salary Reg
u1dr1y.
Because Attorney General Childs
Declares With the Council
Majority.

The Ratchet is buried, and once
again the gentle wings of peace hover
over the city administration. The fight
of Chief of Police has come to an ex-
pected, pleasant and satisfactory end.
Chief William Crooks will continue to
hold the Office during the present
term. Mayor Bell gracefully submits
to the decision. He congratulates the
majority of the council; he con gratu-
lates Chief Crooks; he hopes that fur
Their proceedings will be harmonious,
for the best interests OF the city; he is
willing to work to that end. Chief
Crooks thanks the mayor and antici-
pates no further trouble. The ma
jority of the council congratulate
themselves, propose to work for the
city, and in perfect unison.
All this occurred last Thursday
Wednesday evening Mayor Bell re-
ceived a long envelope, bearing the
return card of the attorney general of
the State, and when he op-
ened it he found the ques-
tons submitted to Attorney Cen
eral Childs answered in manner that
left no room for doubt. Thursday
morning he acknowledged that the
council was the winner, and graceful
ly bowed to the stipulation and mott
fed Chief Crooks that he would be
retained. He signed his voucher for

Charles w. Mead was born on a
farm in Waukesha county, Wisconsin,
Feb. Is, 1847, and is consequently AZ
years of age. When but year old
his parents moved to Dodge county,
where they remained eight years, and
where young Mead walked three
miles acsoss tamrack swamp to at
attend school during the last three
years of his residence there. From
Dodge county the family moved into
Sank county, where Charles worked
on the farm, attended school, and
taught school until he was ~ years
of age. He then came to Redwood
Falls, and at once took homestead
entry out of the Redwood Falls land
office on his present farm in Under
wood township. He lived on the farm
until 1880, when he moved to DeSmet,
South Dakota, and conducted hotel
and livery stable, at which business
Mr.. Mead declares that he made
money. Continuing in that occupa-
ton for two years he returned to the
farm and worked it until the fall OF
1885, when he entered politics and
was elected sheriff of Redwood coun-
ty on the Republican ticket, being re-
elected two consecutive times, and
holding Office until Jan. LIST, 1893,
when he retired, and was succeeded
by the present efficient sheriff, Casper
Blethen. Since that time he has de-
voted his time to the machinery bust
ness, being the junior member OF the
| firm of Thompson Il Mead. :
/ Mr.. Mead was married at Marshall
in November, of 1881, to Miss Ida
May Mead, and they have four chill
dren.

must receive proper acquiescence on
the part Of the common council; nor
does the mere fact that Mr.. Crooks
has failed to take anew the oath of
said Office or to furnish and file new
bond as such officer, create q vacancy
in the said Office. The law has no.
where required that he shall do eth
er. Notwithstanding this, and it is q
fact which the common council should
heed, the sureties on his official bond
will be liable only for a reasonable
period after the expiration of his def
mite term. (Co. of Scott VS.. Ring, 20
Mimi. 1867. Numerous authorities
may be cited in support OF this prop
osition. But however unfortunate it
may be for the city that this anomal-
GUS state of affairs exists, the fact re-
mains that Mr.. Crooks continues the
de facto, if not the de jure, chief Of
police of the city.
Mr.. Childs thinks that only the
common council can remove the Chief
of Police, the removal falling within
that section of the city charter cover
ing the appointment. Closing the at
torney general says:
The mayor is not personally re-
sponsible for the misconduct of the
chief of police so long as he has not
counseled or advised it. It is made
his duty to take care that the laws of
the State and the ordinances of the
city are duly observed and enforced,
and that all other executive officers of
the city discharge their respective
duties" But this only implies that
he shall do those things necessarily
incident to the duties of his Office. If
the chief of police or any other officer
is derelict, or if the mayor discover
anything amiss in the affairs of the
city, it is expressly made his duty to
inform the common council thereof.
