LANCASTER, Pa, Oct. IAN attempt to
assassinate George f. Fahenstock, a we'll
known broker of this city, has been made.
He was standing in his Office in such a
position that his body threw n shadow on
the glazed door, when a bullet crashed
through the glass and passed within an
inch OF his side. The person who fired the
shot evidently had stood On the doorsteps
and used the shadow as a guide. Fahcn-
stock grabbed pistol and opening the
door shot at a man who was standing
near by. The latter fed and Fahcnstock
fired again, but neither shot appears to
have t;iEcn effect

An Old document.

William Robinson of Castleton, has in
his possession an old document which he
highly prizes because of the name af-
fixed to it. 1t is an original deed given
by Seth Warner of Keyport in the prov
ince of New York and county of Char
lotte, of one hundred acres of land in the
town of Castleton, situated on the road
leading to Rutland. The consideration
is thirty pounds. The deed is given to
Israel Hurlburt. The writing in it is all
in the handwriting of Seth Warner, who
signed it this sixth day of November,
1775, and in the fifteenth year of his maj
esty's reign" The witnesses were VIM.
Smith and Israel Smith. The deed was
acknowledged at Bennington the 10Th
day of November, 1910, before Jesse
Belknap, justice of the peace. 1t is re-
corded in the first book of town records
in the town of Castleton, being received
at the town clerks Office, December We
10, ITO" The deed is yellow with age
but the writing is easily read and in good
condition.

A Woman Of Many Husbands Sklps
Out.

SHAFTsBURY, Vt, Sept. 21.-This
town is again excited over the second
elopement within a month, and in this
case, as in the previous one, the woman
is married, about forty years of age, the
companion being unmarried and about
half her age. The woman, Jane Barrett,
has quite history, and has figured in
several sensational cases. When 10 years
of age she married Joseph Harrington,
both being residents of SALISBURY be-
fore their marriage. After few years
she became somewhat wild, and he pro-
cured a divorce. In few years he mar
her again. They separated again in
few years, and although she had no di-
vorce she soon married a man by the
name of Lawrence Burns. They lived
together only short time when she left
him to try her fortune once more. The
next victim was George Barrett of Hart
ford, Conn, conductor on railroad,
who married her. He was a well-to-do
man, appeared to think the world of his
wife, and supplied her with everything
to make her comfortable. They lived
together about ten years. A few months
ago she came to SALISBURY for the os-
tensible benefit of her health. Soon af-
Mrs. Barrett became acquainted with a
young man about 20 years of age by the
name of Clarence Wait. She is natural
ly prepOssessing, and Wait was soon APP
parently madly in love with her, and she
seemed to return his affection. He is
naturally shiftless, indolent fellow,
never having been known to earn dol
lar. Their conduct finally got to be such
that there was considerable gossip in the
neighborhood in which they lived. A
couple of weeks ago Mr.. Barrett came
here to make arrangements for her to go
home, when he found her gone. Inquiry
developed the fact that she had recently
sold about 500 worth of furniture, The
money that she received she took with
her. 1t was also learned that they both
purchased tickets for Rutland and both
left on the same day but on separate
trains. Nothing has been heard of them
since, and Mr.. Barrett has gone back to
onnecticut.-S unday Budget.

WILL BE SHELvED
Pay Roll For Rump Session
Will Not Be H0nored.
State Auditor Will Not Allow It--Writ of
Mandamus Talked by Democrats.

Clerk Conley OF the House of Represen-
tatives in filing his payroll of the MEM
bers for the Nav session from
May 80, to and including August
IL, the day in W hich the recess was taken
To Providence, says that he conformed to
tify 10 the correctness OF the pay
roll from the records. He had accord
ingly figured up eighty two days,
averaged about 800 per member.
He had also prepared pay roll for six
days, corresponding to that which had
been submitted by the Senate Clerk
but after consultation with Speaker
owen and prominent members
OF the majority, it was de-
cided TO include the attendance
at the "Rump" sessions. The State
Auditor stands ready to oppose the six
day payroll Immediately upon its pre-
sentation, but the s2-day substitute
Democracy are well aware that the claim
VIII not be allowed and some Of the lead
ing spirits are talking about an applica-
ton Tor writ of mandamus to be served
upon the State Auditor by order of the
Supreme Court TO give his
reasons for refusal to audit
the roll, They claim that under
eA'N NV tic otdtC huultOT II DOuDu 10 Ldkc
cognizance OF the certificate of the clerk.
But as the Supreme Court has decided that
the--iiouse terminated its existence
with the proroguement of the Governor in
June IL is not likely that IL will direct the
state auditor TO draw upon the treasury to
recompense the revolutionists. However,
the Democracy are inclined TO mark the
closing days OF their political existence by
a resort TO cheap game OF bluff, which
will emphasize the notorious reputa-
tion they have won for themselves
during the past year. There is another
issue involved which may not have sug-
gested itself to the avaricious Democrats.
The clerk in having certified to the attend
ance of members who actually were net
present and for a period beyond that
which the decision of the court held was
legitimate under the constitution, may
render himself liable to prosecution for
Justification OF the roll and also for con-
tempt OF court.

the plant determined To drive the "Black-
legs" from work. They assembled and
with tin pans, clubs, coke forks and
brooms marched to the coke yards.
Sanford White, mine superintendent,
Ewing II. Rcddy, bookkeeper, and lot OF
deputies were on guard. A shot was fired
TO scare the women. In less than min
ute the men living in the houses rushed
10 the scene.
White opened fire on the crowd, which
numbered over hundred. At the first
fire three men fell wounded, one fatally.
The women carried of the wounded, and
the now infuriated men set upon
White and Reddy. White was brutally
beaten over the h, al knocked down, ,kickt
