ANOTHER cLEW.
Man Answering MiIIer's Description Held
in Pennsylvania Town.

The state police have another clue to
the whereabouts of the Brookfeld mur-
derer. This time the suspect is held at
Lansford, Pa,
State Detective Peleg F. Murray re-
ceived a dispatch from Chief Wade.
Tuesday, that a man answering the
description of Paul Miller was held in
the above place. Mr.. Murray imme-
diately telegraphed for a complete de-
scription of the man, and photograph
as we'll Nothing further will be done
in the matter until a reply is received
The fact that Miller is said to be a
Pole or Bohemian is considered a strong
argument that the man might strike
out for some such locality as this,
which is principally inhabited by his
fellow-countrymen.
Lansford is situated in Carbon coun-
ty, on the railroad running from Mauch
Chunk to Tamaqua, about miles
northeast from Tamaqua, and about 100
miles from Philadelphia. The town has
population of 4004, according to the
census of 1890, and is located in the
heart of the anthracite coal regions of
the Behigh valley, where coal mining
forms the principal occupation of the in
habitants.
Miller is reported to have told diff
ferent people that he had worked at
coal mining, and had taken an active
part in some of the miners strikes.
There is a man who was formerly To-
Gated in Worcester, but has left the
city, that the local officers would like to
interview regarding this man. Inspect
ors O'Day and Stone learned some time
ago. soon after the murder, that there
was man in the city who knew Mil
Ter well and his past life. This man
told several that he did not know Mil
ler's nationality, as he spoke German
and Polish with equal fiuency, but was
well acquainted with him, as he had
been in several times from North Brook
field, last summer, to see him. Inquiry
at this mans boarding place developed
the fact that he had gone
away somewhere chopping, but
where-no one knows. The inspectors
at station l think it is very probable
coincidence that Miller should strike for
such locality as Lansford, where So
many of his fellow -countrymen are To-
Gated.

Friends Of MIR. and Mrs. F. F. Harrington
Remember Them.

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs
Fred F. Harrington called upon them
Tuesday evening at their residence, 147

CLUB" SIZE.

"Now, boys" said the new teacher, ;" want
you to be so quiet that we can hear pin drop;
There was a cavernous silence for two seconds
Then a voice in the rear muttered Nov, let her
drop!"
There is everything in knowing when the
moment has come to let the pin drop. We believe
that the critical time on furniture, when it can be
bought to best advantage, is in the month OF Janu-
ary. The few rich pieces which are left over from
the cid year are then given their railroad ticket In
the shape of special prices to take them quickly
away.

Not Such a Bad Transcript, But

In the remarks of DR.. Hufham
made at the funeral services of the
late Dr. c. L. McCracken, as publish
ed in these columns last week, there
were some slight errors which the in
telligent reader doubtless detected
and was able to correct for himself.
1t is always annoying to person to
have his copy changed SO as to put
words in his mouth and thoughts in
his head which he never expressed or
entertained in the original text, but
the good and genial Doctor takes
these things very philosophically.
He saws there are two things he never
complains of, one is when printer
makes mistakes in setting up his
manuscript, the other when person
goes to sleep while he is preaching a
sermon. When they do that he says
it is his fault.
But most of US are apt to shirk re-
sponsibility and try to throw the
blame off on some one else-charge
it up to the devil, whe sher he be
printers devil or the other kind.

Marriage of Mr.. Wester and Mrs.
Harris.

One of the busiest as well as the
happiest men to be seen in town yes
terday was Mr.. Joseph b. Wester,
the popular grocer. He was kept
busy receiving the congratulations
of his friends upon the event OF his
marriage which occurred Tuesday
evening, July 18th, at 7 o'clock at
the home of the brides father, Mr.
David W. Virgins, in Vance county
Mr.. Wester led to the marriage altar
a most estimable woman in the per-
son of Mrs. Beulah j. Harris. Rev.
DR.. Huffman, of Henderson, was the
officiating minister, performing the
ceremony in his usually pleasant and
characteristic manner always notice.
able for its earnestness and SIM
plicity.
After the ceremony, which was per-
formed in the presence of members
of the family and small company
of friends, Mr. and Mrs. Wester re-
turned to Henderson where they re-
ceived warm welcome and hearty
congratulations.
We give cordial welcome to Mrs.
Wester, who is we'll known and quite
popular in Henderson already.
Mr. w. f. Moss and Miss Mittie
Wester were among those who at
tended the marriage from this place.

II at First You Don't Succeed.

This caption seems to have been
the motto of a well known young
couple of this county whose romantic
marriage on Sunday afternoon last
was not their first attempt to 60 the
way of all the world. MIR. W. Gill
Watkins. of Gillburg. and Miss Ella
Daniel, of EPSON. were married at
the residence of ex-Sheriff Joseph
S. Jones in Warren county. Sunday.
July 10th.
While the parents of the young
lady were at Sunday-school. young
Watkins drove by. and it appears the
young lady was watching his coming
from the second story window of her
home. Receiving the signal she came
out and escaped through the corn
field unobserved and joined the eN-
pectant groom at the road. Passing
the nearest neighbours house with a
triumphant wave of the handkerchief
they drove thence to the home of
Justice Jones who hastily joined them
in holy wedlock thereby relieving
them of all fear of again sharing the
fate of a former experience.
Some time last fall while the bride
was a pupil of the Henderson Female
College. Mr. Watkins procured mar
riage license for the purpose of doing
just what he did last Sunday, but
some how the secret got out and tele-
phones and messengers were brought
into use, and the father and the ''pro-
fessor" were informed of their inten-
tions. Being on their guard all the
girls in the institution were sum-
moned before the principal that eve
ming, and when the young man APP
peared upon the threshold to claim
his own, her father met him instead.
OF course that was no place for the
young man to linger then and he
went away to await the coming OF
a more successful time.
Now that they are married it is
hoped that all will be forgiven. The
groom is the son of Mr.. K. 5. Wat
kins and the bride, who is bright and
attractive and quite an accomplished
young musician, is the daughter OF
Mr. w. b. Daniel.

violently stirred up, but regulated. DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will do it. They
stimulate the digestive juices of the
stomach; invigorate the liver and help it
to actively secrete the bile; and act gently
on the bowels to promote regular healthy
movement. This means complete and
lasting cure of digestive troubles.

he is at home, but typhoid fever is a
dreadful disease. and we shall be
anxious until the crisis is passed and

The friends of Mr.. Ogburn will re-
greet sincerely TO learn of his sick
ness. That he may soon recover is
the prayer of each one. Mr.. Ogburn

Flat Rock Sunday on the occasion OF
the fourth meeting of the second dis
trict conference of the Methodist
