THEIR GRANDFATHER DEAD.
So OF Course the Now York polio
Arrest o Young Man and Ezis Sister


So OF Course Ia Now York Police
Arrest % Young MAN and His Sister.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 1S95.-Abraham and
Rebecca Koenig, aged eighteen and seven
teen, respectively, of No. rs Chrystie street,
were remanded back to the Eldridge street
station house by Magistrate Cornell in Essex
Market Court this morning.
About half-past nine o'clock last night
Bernard Goldberg, seventy years of age,
the grandfather Of the two prisoners, was
found on the sidewalk in front of his resi-
dence in an unconscious condition. He was
removed to Governor Hospital, where he
died at 8 o'clock this morning without re-
gaining his senses. He had either fallen or
been thrown from the front window of his
room, which is on the second floor.
The police made IN investigation and
learned that he was reputed to be worth
from $40, 900 to $50, 000in money and jewelry.
They also ascertained that he and his wife,
who is sixty-five years old, were constantly
quarrellng with Their grandchildren, mainly
over money matters. and on frequent occa-
sions it seemed as if blows were being struck
The prisoners told the policeman that they
were i'll bed by nine O'Clock last night and
knew nothing of their grandfather's mishap.
They added chat he was in the habit OF sit
ting in his night shirt at the window with
his feet on the window sill, and they believed
that while doing this last night de dropped
off to sleep, and in turning over fell from
the window.
The %neighbors state that the prisoners sell
dom retired before midnight, and their
statement that they retired SO early last
night was deemed unworthy of credence.
For that reason they were arrested, and the
police will endeavor to procure further evil
dence against them.

Guilty in convincing their friends OF the
remarkable power of Paine's celery
compound to restore their energy, renew
| their yigor. and make them strong and
well.
Here is a letter from Mr.. Max Burg
helm the well-known president ana
manager of the Cincinnati Freie Presse
Company. Mr.. Burgheim writes:
1.-The following statement may be OF
interest. l have been suffering from
sleeplessness, insomnia, for many years,
and although 1 have tried almost every
thing to get cured, consulting the best
physicians, and even going several
times to Europe, everything was in
vain.
: 81 did not nave a nights rest for al
most six years, that is to say, | could
not sleep for two hour in succession In
a single night; you can easily smaglne
what the effect on me had been.
after spending a fortune in trying for.
relief l had given up almost all hope,
and when 1 first read about Paine's Gel
cry compound / did not have much faith
in anything. But after having used so
many remedies and consulted SO many
physicians in this country and abroad L
felt like giving the compound a trial.
The result was truly wonderful.
1.-The very first night about six months
ago that 1 tried Paine's celery compound
you can imagine my joy When | found
that I had slept six hour in succession,
a thing that L had not been blessed with
for so many years. 1 continued the use
for over three months with the same
happy result, and although 1 was fearful
lest the malady would come back on me,
I can now say hat although l have not
taken the compound for months 1 do
sleep every night peacefully and without
interruption.
You can easily imagine this
means for "a man who works fourteen
hours every day in the year and has
charge of two large newspapers. / con-
slider my case a most remarkable one
and I should be glad if this statement
should be the means of helping others
who have suffered like I in the same
untold agonies, and for this reason 1 give
you full permission to make use of this
statement in any way you choose"
