Young Archibald sat on the topmost
step leading to the porch while recev-
ing glass of water from Mrs. Green,
who stood before him. His rifle rested
between his knees. and was cooked and
loaded. The butt of the weapon was
partly on the edge of the porch, which
had just been scrubbed and was damp
and slippery. As he reached for the
glass OF water the butt of the rifle slip

hammer struck against the edge of the

Within a few moments after the

in that condition for several hours

shock or internal hemorrhage. as the

that the ball had penetrated quite deep

Last night no news of the patient
could be learned in this city. DR.. Leet
stated. however, that If Mrs. Green's
condition is the result of shock. then
her chances for recovery are very fav-

likely to end fatally.

Iricd In Common plcas

Attorney Cornelius Smith presented
petition TO court Saturday, and It
was received by Judge Gunster. The
paper asked that n rule be granted on
Attorney 7. n. Burns to show cause
why the $4,000 award given TO him
by the arbitrators in the libel suit,
should not be set aside, judgment
opened and the case brought for trial
before a jury of twelve men in COM
mon pleas court.
Mr.. Smith assigns az reasons for the
request that Prothonotary Pryor and
Deputy PrOthonotary Myron Kasson
were charged In the alleged Nbelous
paperboolt with being part Of the
combination designing to illustrate the
ends Of justice in the Jennings case
against the Iehlgh Valley railroad. and
that the duties required to be per-
formed by the prothonotary in choosing
arbitrators, should have been done by
the recorder OF deeds. sheriff. county
treasurer or coroner. Also that the in
ability Of Attorney a. ]. Colborn to
appear at the sitting Of the arbitrators
did not warrant Attorneys George VI
Watson and Fred w. FleitZ in filling
the vacancy.
Attorney Joseph O'Brlen. of counsel
for Mr.. Burns. was present and asked
