he concluded to walk to McGee's where
he could catch the Punxsutawney train
in the evening. For his route he chose
the Pittsburg e. Eastern tracks. When
at the middle Of the high steel bridge
which crosses the Susquehanna at
Weitzel's dead water. the evening train
on that road came suddenly through

hurled him in crushed heap. seventy

man in peril coolly sticking both legs
down between the guard rails and the
side of the bridge in such a manner that
he could throw his body backwards in

without striking him. AS soon as the
train passed, the reverend gentleman
managed to scramble out of his trying,
as well as embarrassing position, and

Up in Henry county the grand jury
has been investigating the assessment
lists with view to indicting some of
the capitalists of that county. In or
der to ascertain the amount of money
they had on deposit in the banks on
the first day of June and to get other
information as to their money, notes,
stocks and bonds, the grand jury
issued subpenas upon the cashiers to
appear and produce their books. This
the cashiers refused to do-claiIning
their books were private, and that
they could not be compelled to submit
them for the inspection of the grand
jury. The matter was laid before
Judge Lay, who held that the sub
pGna must be obsyed; and then they
asked time to consider and to consult
with attorneys. Finally, last Thurs
day, two of the cashiers notified the
Judge that they had concluded to
obey the subpena,and would do 30 on
March 10, when the court will again
be IN session. It is believed much
property will be revealed which has
heretofore escaped taxation.
