REVEALED HIS GUILTY SECRET.
And His Execution For wife Murder
May Result.

May Result.
Wellsboro, Pa, Sept. 7.--Walter Good
win was held by the coroner's jury
yesterday, charged with the murder
Of his wife, Efhe Goodwin, who was
found by the roadside. near Mansfield,
and died Sunday without having re-
covered consciousness. There was a
new development in the case yesterday
by the arrest of Gertrude Taylor at
the home Of her father Charles K.
Taylor on Phoenix Run, Potter county.
This is the girl whom Goodwin says
he spent the evening with in Wells
boro last Friday. She is only Il years
OF age, and has frequently been with
Goodwin during the past fortnight.
At first she said she never heard of
such a town as Mansfield, but upon
being pressed with questions she finally
admitted that she went to Mansfield
last Thursday night with Goodwin, and
sat In the buggy and held the horse
while he had an interview with his
wife in the house of Mr.. Beach. She
drove back to the house of Goodwln's
father and spent the day there. On
Friday night, when the murder was
committed, she said she was with
Goodwin. They drove down to Wells
boro, then back past his fathers house
and on to Mansfield, where they ar
rived about $3.50 o'clock. She again
held the horse while he was away
about threequarters Of an hour. On
the road home, she said, Goodwin told
her that he was a free man at last.
She said she knew that Mrs Goodwin
had been killed early Saturday morn
ing. This was some five or six hours
before the womans body was dis
covered at Mansfield, and before any
one except those connected with the
crime knew she had been murdered.
The girl is in jail here.

"a CIVIL SUIT.
steve eOnaneslsy Claims He Didn't Get All
His Money.


A civil suit of Steve Gonauesky against
Michael Pribula the East Centre street mer-
chant, was tried before Justice Shoemaker
last night E. w. Shoemaker, Esq, appeared
for the plaintiff and S. q. M. Hollopeter, Esq,
for the defendant. The plaintiff claimed
that he left $50 with the defendant for safe
keeping and subsequently left a second $50
with him. He preferred making his deposits
with Pribula to risking his money in banks
Gonanesky produced witnesses who swore
they were present when both deposits were
made. The plaintiff also alleged that he
drew one sum Of $50 from Pnbula,
but when he went to get the other $50 was
told that only one sum of that amount had
been deposited Prbula denied positively
under oath that he had received more than
$50 from the plaintiff and produced his
books showing only one entry of $50 in
Gonanesky's favor. Justice Shoemaker gave
JUDGMENT in favor of the plaintiff for the
full amount claimed and costs. Pribula says
he will appeal.

ally, confronted with France on
one side and Austria on the other,
exhausted herself in armaments.
In this general increase of armies,
the navies of France, Russia, Ger
many and Italy were also in
creased pari passu, SO that, to re-
store the balance of sea power,
England felt constrained to in
crease her navy largely. En-
glands naval expenditure is now
four times as great as it was sixty
years ago. She spends this year
on her warships $1O9, 100, 900,
against $21, 100000 spent by Ger
many, s47 ,425, 600 spent by France
and $27, 100000 spent by the
United States. The necessities
of the military situation have
caused nearly thrce-fourths Of the
increase of the running expenses
of England's government in re-
cent years, and much the same
may be said for the increases Of
other European governments.
This cannot be said in defence of
our increased expenditure. Dur
ing the last five years our outgo
for pensions alone has exceeded
the annual payment made by
France or Germany for its army,
or England for it's navy. Our in
creased expenditure is not forced
on us by circumstances it is need.

of increase with us has been near
ly twice as rapid as it has been il

To Run Forty Years.


A clock which the maker be- |
leives will run forty years with
one winding has been invented by
a Chicago man, and is on public
Tie mechanism is composed OF
brightly-burnished aluminium rods
slow-moving cog wheels and many
tiny, quick-moving cog-balance
wheels, which tick ceaselessly and
merrily away under the large oval
glass case which covers them.
There is small six-inch dial in
the top. Morever, this forty year
clock is wound with seventeen
twists of the key.
"Forty-three years, six mcnths
and some days it will run without
ever being removed from beneath
that case, proudly declares Purdy
Campbell, the inventor. ''and it is
the only clock of its kind in the
country"
According to Mr. Campbell, a
force of 175 pounds is brought to
bear upon the center post, an ex-
penditure of forty pounds in trans
mitting the power to the next
cog wheel, and a proportionate
diminution of power on each
succeeding cog is followed down to
the almost infinitesimal balance
wheel, where Mr.. Campbell figures
the force exerted is less than the
hundredth part of an ounce.
The clock has been running a
year, and has never been touched
save to undergo slightregulation
during the first weeks.
| All the parts of the clock ex-
cept the spring, were made by Mr.
Campbell, even to the smallest
taps and bolts, and some of the
cog wheels required special attach
ments to his lathes, and these h
himself forged and put into opera
ton in his own shop. The clocl
was worked at during spare hour
and it took the builder over tw,
years to complete it. Some of tn
cog-wheels have moved but tw,
inches during the year.

White Frocks for Summer Wear.


"This, certainly, may be called
a white summer, for never before
has the white frock been given so
pronounced a vogue" writes Isa-
bel A. Mallon in the June Ladies'
Home Journal. "The materials
favored are organdy, dotted Swiss
muslin, dimity, pique, and corded
cloth in the cottons, and China,
foulard and taffeta in the silks.
"Pique of the received weight,
which, by-the-way, is not as heavy
as Marseilles, is popular. The
skirt of a pretty costume that ]
have Just seen has the fashionable
curve and is not oyer-wide.
Around the edge is q design in
white braid that harmonizes with
the pattern which outlines the
short jacket. The shirt-waist is
of white silk, finished with a high
white silk stock. The sleeves are
decidedly small, having enough
fullness on the shoulders to be
graceful, but fitting the arms
closely, and finished with narrow
braiding. The belt is of white
leather with a gold buckle. The
hat is made of white chiffon, and
is elaborately trimmed at the back
with enormous white roses and
their foliage"

The Feeling to Guilt sate.

Newark, N. j., has a large store
the show windows Of which were
formerly filled with attractive dis
plays of goods; but the crowd
merely stared at the exhibits, and
but few persons crossed the thresh-
old of the store. Then one of
the proprietors conceived the
idea of reversing the displays
that is, the attractions were plac-
ed on the inside of the windows
and the public were invited to
"walk in and look around. y
This broke the ice. The people
crowded in, and the feeling that
they might be intruding gave way
to the new feeling that they were
welcome. That is the feeling
which every store must cultivate
and advertising will do it qnicke1
than the show window business.
