NEWSY NOTES.
WILL WALKS.

Frank Faller of Fryburg had his leg
aud three ribs broken, and was consider
ably cut and bruised otherwise by being
thrown in front of a moving machine,
one day last week.
C. &. Harmon, late cashier of the de-
funct Cory National bank entered plea
| of guilty to an indictment of ten counts
for making false entries in the books of
the bank. His relatives and friends had
previously turned over security amount
ing to 100000 to make good the deficiency
and sentence was deferred.
The much abused English sparrow has
at last proven itself of some service and
the swarm of locusts that now infest this
community dread his approa ch, for this
| spunky little chirper pounces upon the
locust whenever found and devours him
with an avidity that is truly edifying to
behold.-DuBois Tribune.
The Titusville Herald says the evil
dence is accumulating every day against
Fred Mcdonnell, which shows he is the
murderer of John McAndrew. A pearl
handled knife has been found lying
|
committed, which had marks of blood on
it. The knife has been identified as be-
longing to Mcdonnell.
While little Arthur Lavery was play
ing on the porch of the residence of his
father, William Lavery, at Warren,
Tuesday evening of last week, he ignited
a match which set fire to his clothing.
Before his clothes could be torn from his
body he was burned from his hips to the
top OF his head so that the skin came off
and the flesh was fairly cooked in places.
The child died Wednesday morning.
Twenty-Five years ago Andrew Cone,
of this city, was appointed Consul to
Para, Brazil. Since that time he has
passed away, but now w. G, Hunt, who
was one of his bondsmen, has received
intelligence of a shortage in Mr.. Cones
accounts which the bondsmen must
make good. As Mr.. Cone was a man of
means, and left ample funds to pay the
deficiency, it seems strange that the fam
| lily will allow an outsider, who went on
the bond merely as an accommodation,
to pay the money. Some interesting de-
Velopments may be expected in the case.
Mr.. Hunt went to Pittsburg this after
noon to settle the matter. Blizzard.
Judge Gunnison, of Erie, has rendered
an important decision in the case of j. NJ.
Harvey VS.. the Equitable Aid Union.
! Plaintiff claimed that by the terms of his
! policy 81, 600 was due him i'm May. 1898.
His policy for 81, 900 was issued in 1880,
with the condition that he should receive
| 81 ,0CO in May, 1893 In the meantime the
| bylaws were amended providing for a
payment at the rate of ten percent. when
the amout became due and the remainder
in 10 percent. annual installments. The
| Court decides that changes in the bylaws
are not legal, so far as intended to affect
contracts already made. On the other
hand the Union plants itself on the right
! to announce repeal or change of the by
| laws, a right which is reserved in the by
laws, and TO which the policy holders
consent and subscribe. The Union Off
cials hold that under the right reserved
the Union may change the manner of
paying the matured obligations.
The Titusville world gives this timely
and very sensible warning to the boys of
that city, which will apply more or less
/ in all sections; "rho boys who go around
sucking cigarette smoke into their lungs,
coughing it through their nose, gambling
in sheds and other out-of-door places,
reading obscene literature and cultivating
other habits of depravity are as certain
sooner or later to come to grief as the
young tree is to wither when its roots are
cut away. The World could name good
many boys in Titusy lille who come un-
der that head. So could any body else.
They will do we'll 10 change their course
before it is too late. They can as well
| grow up TO be men as to become outright
criminals or the full grown outcasts
which are found in all communities
impaired or ruined in constitution, poor,
Entrusted and despised. The World, in
all kindness, extends warning to these
| youths to turn over anew leaf They can
have all the fun they require and at the
same time be developing into healthy and
useful men. Turn over a new leaf, boys,
and the people who note your actions now
and there are more of such people than
you imagine will give you all credit for
your actions and be glad 10 help you in
any way they can. The other course
will surely lead 10 sorrow for yourself
and others, when it is too late you will
regret that you did not heed this friendly
| warning.
