THE SNOWMAN ESCAPED.
Bob Harting and his circus came to
town on Monday, and Deputy Sheriff
George Bostwick, of Montrose, came
over the hills hunting for Bob. Bost-
wick had legal papers to serve upon
the Snowman for not going through
the formaiity of securing a county
license. 1t was shown that the show
man was not amendable to state
law requiring a county license and he
was discharged. And Bostwick sadly
followed a wagon track to the altitu-
dinous summer resort.
THE CONSTITUTION ONCE MORE.
In February last, A. Wolff, erst-
while Of Carbondale, a dealer in bric-

The borough authorities demanded
that he take out a borough license,
which he refused to do, whereupon he
was arrested, and gave bail for his
appearance before the county court.
At the argument court, held last week,
in Montrose, Judge Searle rendered an
opinion discharging the defendant, for
the reason that the act of assembly
and borough ordinance, under which
he was arrested, were unconstitutional
and void
TROUBLE OVER A HORSE.
About three years ago, F. F. Will
liams, of Binghamton, let a horse val
ued at 5000, to Uri Blatchly, of Wind
sor township. In May last Williams
desired to obtain possession of the
steed, but could not find it. He learn
ed that 1t had been brought into Sus-
quehanna county and sold. Deputy
Sheriff George H. Herman, of Broome
county, finally located the horse on the
farm of Hugh Perry, in Thomson
township, five miles from Susquehan-
ma. Herman demanded the horse, but
Perry refused to surrender it, stating
that he had purchased 1t of Blatchley.
Replevin papers and a warrant were
secured in Montrose, and. few days
ago, Hermans. officer Conklin,of Mont
rose, and Officers Mcmahon and Pal
mer, of Susquehanna. descended upon
the Perry farm, went to the barn, and,
being denied admission, forced their
way in and took the horse away.
Perry is threatened with arrest for
receiving stolen property.

DROWNED IN THE RIVER.
William Wassley Meets Death While
Hathing in Susquehnnna.

Wilkes Barre, Aug. 3.-Willie Was
ley, aged IS years, son of William F..
Wasley. janitor of the Grant street
school, was drowned in the river near
the North street bridge at 2.30 o'clock
this afternoon while bathing with sew
eral other boys. Young Wasley was
out some distance from the others and
suddenly sank beneath the water. The
other boys gave the alarm and several
standing on the North street bridge
could see the nude body lying at the
bottom.
Frank Soley, young man who was
passing, ran down and drew the body
to the shore. Drs. Shoemaker and
Matlack, who happened along at the
time, worked for several minutes to re-
store life, but their efforts were fruit
less. The water where young Wasley
was drowned was not more than three
feet deep and he must have suffered
from cramps or heart failure to be
drowned in such shallow water.

FIRE AT LAKE CAREY.
The Cottage of Mrs. Il. A. Hice Is
Totally DESTROYED.

Wilkes Barre, Aug. 3.-The cottage
of Mrs. Esther A. Hice, of this city,
located on the railroad side of Lake
Carey, was totally destroyed by fire
last evening. The cottage was occu-
pied by Attorney d. L. Creveling and
family, of this city, and as the fire
originated on the second floor it is not
definitely known what caused it,
though the theory is advanced that a
curtain brushed against a lighted can
die that had been left on a stand
Nearly all the household effects on the
lower floor Were saved, but owing to
the rapidity with which the fire spread
nothing could be secured from the up
per floor.
The cottage of the Stark and Cool
baugh families adjoin the Hice cottage
and it was only by a very vigorous eff
fort these were saved.

GOOD FORTUNE AT LAST.
Mrs. Chambers Falls Heir to Part of
the Spang Millions.

Freeland, Aug. 3.-Mrs. John Cham
bers has had her share of earthly woes,
but fortune seems to be smiling on her
once more. She has just received word
that she is an heir on her fathers side
to $4,000, being a portion of the Spang
fortune in Germany.
Mrs. Chambers cup of sorrow has
run over. Some time ago her husband,
an engineer on the Delaware Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad,w was killed
by the explosion of an engine boiler.
While overwhelmed by this sorrow,
Mrs. Chambers lost two children
through diphtheria.
The Spang millions have long been
the talk among many who claim to be
heirs, and efforts by these have re-
peatedly been made to get possession
of the fortune. but without success.
