VIII Recover.

Mary Barufski, the 81 year old child who
was run over and lost her left arm ON the
Centre street line of the Lakeside Electric
Railway last Saturday, is still alive and it is
believed she will recover. The parents of
the child have announced that they will
sue the railway company for heavy damages,
but have not indicated the amount 1t is
stated that they have witnesses who will
swear that the child was struck at the
limerick street crossing and dragged ninety
feet by the car. Michael Graham, who was
one of the eye witnesses of the accident,
says such statement is preposterous, Off
cals of the company have been in town

Mrs. pitezol May Get holmes Money.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1S.-It is the ex-
pressed belief of District Attorney Gra-
ham that Mrs. Pitezel, whom Holmes de-
frauded of thousands of dollars, has an
excellent opportunity of recovering the
money which he is said to have received
for his confession. Mr.. Graham says that
Holmes position is exactly the same as
that of any other individual dying and
leaving an estate, and if Mrs. Pitezel can
prove she was defrauded she stands in the
same position as any other creditor 1t is
probable that Lawyer Fahy will institute
proceedings to restrain any one from han
ding the money.

While Hyman Fogel. who resides in one of
John Robbins houses on West Centre street,
was on one of his periodical trips with a
horse and wagon collecting rags and bones,
he was attacked by six overgrown boys at
Connors' patch last evening, and used up
pretty badly. Fogel says stones whistled
around his head like bullets from a gatling
gun, several of them striking him on the left
side of the head, inhicting an ugly wound.
When he arrived home he was covered with
blood. He says the boys are known and that
they will pay dear for their acts.
