In clearing out some old papers
belonging to the late B. D. Will

not now be considered a great sue

Lawyer Got "FisIed."

A Meadville, Pa, woman got the
best of lawyer in that city in this
manner according to the Meadville
Star:
In the Office of one of the local
alderman, Wednesday there was
an amusing scene. An assault and
battery case was in progress and a
woman who claimed that she had
been assaulted, persisted in saying
"He fsted me-" The defendants
attorney grew weary of the oft-re-
peated expression, and finally said:
MADAME, will you please tell us
what you mean by He fsted me?"
"Do you wish me to show you how
II was done?,' she asked.
I certainly do,' replied the law
yer. Quick as fash the witness
rushed to the lawyer, who sat on a
chair tipped back against the wall.
The woman began striking the le-
gal luminary in the breast and
knocked him upon the floor. When
he arose on his hands and knees
the listing process was continued,
and blow after blow was rained
upon his back till he cried out: For
Gods sake, Squire, will yon make
that virago quit pounding me?' The
court and the woman's counsel in
terfered and urged her to desist.
The disciple of BLACKSTONE arose,
brushed the dirt off his clothes, and
made a firm res dive that he would
never again seek legal information
from the fair sex.

The worlds Wheat supply.

At the time of the delivery of Sir
William Cookies address, in which
he predicted a scarcity in the worlds
supply in wheat,we pointed out that
the statistics upon which his esti-
mate was based were in many re-
spects unreliable. The shortage of
last year was due, not to the fact
that the wheat-producing land had
nearly all of 1t been brought under
the plow, nor to the fact that the
land was becoming exhausted and
calling for artificial fertilization,
but 1t was directly traceable to the
fact that, as the result of the pre-
vailing low prices of the past three
years, the wheat production had
been allowed to decline. The fnan-
cial ques ton is a far more power
full factor in determining the
amount OF wheat that will be
brought to the warehouse each year
than any of the causes named by
Sir William Crookes. Evidence of
this is seen in the increase of over
900, 900, 900 bushels of wheat this
year over the supply of 1897, due
very largely to the better prices en-
couraging farmers to devote larg-
er area to this cereal. 1t is esti-
mated that 236, 900 bushels OF
this increase will be furnished by
Europe, of which amount France
is credited with over Ioo,ooo,ooc
bushels. The increase in North and
South America is expected to reach
about 10000, 900 bushels, of which
90, 900, 900 bushels will be furnish
ed by the wheat fields of the Unit,
ed States. Evidentally for one year
at least we shall fail to see the
necessity of starting the mammoth
fertilizer factory at Niagara which
the learned chemist suggested as
the only solution of the problem.

Parachute

Parachute.
A travelling aeronaut, who appar.
emily is impervious to cold, made
an ascension late Saturday after
noon at the corner OF Water and
Charles streets. The inflated can
vas ascended straight up to height
of about 1000 feet and then dropped
very easily till it alighted on
the Edward Dalton glycerine barn,
near the Catherine and Water street
corner.
The balloonist had the parachute
attachment and intended to descend
to terra 6rma in that precarious way
but from some cause 1t was impos'
sible to free the parachute in time.
There was quite a gathering OF
people to see the exhibition, and
the aeronaut collected nearly fifteen
dollars from the sightseers.

A SAD OCCURRENCE.
An Estimable Young Lady of String
town Attempts Suicide.

Saturday morning, Miss Mollie
StackpCle, who resides with her
parents, one and one-half miles
north Of Stringtown, attempted to
end her life with 32.calibre re-
volver The bullet entered her
right side, and, passing through the
body, came out under the left
shoulder. DR.. Samson, Of String
town, was summoned, and at the
last report, Miss Stackpole was
alive but in very precarious con-
dition.
The circumstances which prompt
ed the rash deed make the occur
renee All especially sad one. Miss
Stackpole is an accomplished young
lady OF twenty years, great favor
ite in the circles in which she
moved. She was keeping company
with young man, who was for
merly connected with the South
Penn Oil company, but subsequent
ly engaged in another business that
was Objectionable to- Miss Stack
poles parents. On account of this
difference the relation of the two
was severed, and doubtless the
young lady's mind had dwelled on
the disappointment until she be-
came morbid and unbalanced.

WHO Is EDGAR N. MAYER:
west Virginian In a wisconsin Jail For
FOrgery-WhO Is He?


The Janesville, Wisconsin, Ga
zette publishes the following story
of West Virginian, by the naue
of Edgar N. Mayer, who is In pris-
on there on the charge of commit
ing several forgeries:
Edgar N. Mayer, the forger, who
is now occupying a cell in the
Rock county Jail, and whose arrest
in Chicago was noted in the Gazette
of Saturday evening, has but little
to say regarding the alleged crime.
He spent the most quiet and dreary
Sunday in Jail here he says he has
gone through in many years. He
is charged with having been the
accomplice of William Gentry in
forging drafts on banks at Oshkosh
and GAINESVILLE, Wis, Fremont,
Neb., and other places.
Gentry is also under arrest at
Oshkosh, where it is said he con-
fessed to two crimes in that city,
but later decided to plead not
guilty.
MAYER was arrested at the Great
Northern Hotel in Chicago, on
Friday night.
Cashier Bingham, of the Bower
City Bank, who identified the pris-
oner in Chicago Saturday as the
same man who presented the bogus
check at the local bank, is positive
that he is not mistaken in his lden-
tifcation.
Mayer since his arrest has told
some conflicting stories, and denies
hehas been connected with the for
geries. He says he met Gentry at
the Palmer House when he came
west, and as he had known MIN in
the east, the two became associates.
The mode of procedure of the two
men was first to write letter to a
director of a bauk, signing the
name of business man and requlr-
ing an answer. Checks or drafts
were then forged and endorsed with
the directors signature.
]. Mayer, a druggist from West
Virginia, arrived in the city Satur-
day for visit to his brother, Edgar
N. Mayer, the alleged torger now
in jail here. At the Jail yesterday
the brothers had long talk and the
prisoner was much affected when
they parted.
Mr.. Mayer is a we'll known busi-
ness man in West Virginia. He
says that his brother has always
borne a good reputation until his
present trouble and that in his
opinion Mayer had been mislead.

LIKE THE OLDEN Time
Cow House People Have an
Ugly Turn.
MANY DISTURBANCES
On the Streets of Our City
Saturday Evening.

Rome howled" in earnest Satur-
day night, and the variety of dis
turbances on our streets caused the
memory of the older inhabitants to
revert back to the fighting epoch in
our city's history. The police were
as busy as boy killing snakes, and
even Mayor Lawrence, who is an
officer ex .officio, took hand in
quelling the outbreak of belliger-
ency.
Cow House people were most
conspicuous in the untruly mani
festat;ons. Early in the evening
Archie Hickman ran amuck on
Wells street, slashing passers.by
with a hugh carving knife and en-
phasizing the exhibition with the
statement of his desire and ability to
cut bloody foot path through Sis.
tersville. He was finally brought
to bay by Special Officer Alex
Miller, and his alcoholic brand OF
bravado, was allowed to ebb behind
the gratinss at the city Jail. Miller
was slightly cut in the right wrist
during the melee, and others mar
rowly escaped Injury. The excite
ment which attended this escapade
was infections, and one farmer
standing opposite the Henneghan
& DAILY block shouted fire several
times at the top of his voice.
This morning in Mayor Law
rences's court Hickman was fined
$40 and sentenced to IS days in
Jail.
The next disturbance was made
In the Brilliant cafe by prominent
contractor who allowed passion to
get the better of judgement. He
was taken in custody by chief Ew-
ing but later friends came to his
rescue and deposited money for his
appearance at eight o'clock this
evening.
Turkey Tom" Williamson was
arrested about ten o'clock by Cap
tain Reedy for disturbing the Sal
vation Army meeting. He was full
to the chin and indulging in OBJ
scene language, which excited the
wrath of a muscular Army officer,
who forcibly elected the fellow
from the room.
This morning, Williamson was
fined $40 and given IS days in the
county bastile. He will have an op-
portunity, in solitary confinement,
to study on more pure expression
OF The English language.
Alex Colvin, just "plain drunk"
but a good specimen ofthe species,
was fined $500, in default OF which
he was remanded back 20 Jail. It
is likely that relative will extr1-
cate him from the predicament
during the day.
A man by the name of Nelson,
from across the river, was looking
for scrap" in the Manhattan res.
taurant at midnight, and had no
difficulty in having his desire graft
fed. pete" Jackson, scientific
boxer but an orderly young chap,
changed the contour of Nelson's
features in short order. Officer
Fred Williams arrested the latter,
and this morning he deposited $40
for his appearance this evening.
There were other Cow House
people in quarrelsome moods. but
when they saw with what expedi-
ton their companions were being
put in durance, valor gave way to
discretion, and they turned their
eyes and footsteps in the direction
of nome, without opening the valve
of their combatativeness.

BETRAYED
BY A LETTER
Mrs. Gould Thought She
Burned MisSive.
IT WAS ONLY sCORCHED.

For Her >Elopement.
ELOPERs WE'RE EASILY LOCATED

New York, July 15.--That IL isn't al
ways safe to trust TO the kitchen fire
when one desires to destroy letter is
shown by the predicament of Joseph
Watson and Mrs. Miriam Gould, pris-
oners in the county Jail at Bridgeton.
N. j. They planned an elopement, and
although they got safely away their
plans were frustrated because OF the
womans careless disposition of note
from her lover.
Watson was not caught until he had
given the pursuing constables hot
chase. He surrendered only when pul-
let's were whistling in dangerous prox-
unity to his head.
WOMAN DESERTED HUSBAND
AND CHILDREN.
Mrs. Gould is the wife of Frank
Gould of Greenwich. She deserted her
husband and four children, taking an
infant child with her. She had been
infatuated with Watson for some time
He is young and unmarried.
When Gould reported the disappear
ance OF his wife Constables Dare ana
Custer went to his house to investigate.
In the stove they found love letter
from Watson, addressed to Mrs. Gould.
Many endearing terms were USED In
the missive, which concluded by ap-
pointing a meeting place. from which
they were to go far away. The letter
was scorched but perfectly legible.
With this clew the constables set to
work. and last night they ran down the
eloping pair at Slabtown. a small set
tlement near WoodstoVn, where they
were staying with friends.
Watson and Mrs. Gould were warned
Of their danger and attempted TO es-
cape The woman was easily caught.
but Watson was not apprehended until
after an exciting chase. during which
the constables fired several shots at
him.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Sheets were also
arrested. on the charge of harboring
and abetting the efopers.
