DESERTED.
Mother and Child in The Poor
HouSe-Husband in Jail.
They Were Formerly Residents
of Berwick.

Not quite a year ago, Andrew Engle
and his wife, the latter in a delicate
condition, left Berwick to walk to
Hazleton. The day was an inordin
ately cold one. and when they arrived
they were suffering considerably from
the weather. They were given lodg-
ing and food at the station house. A
day or two later, through the efforts
of few generously inclined people, a
furnished home was given the couple
to live in, the husband was supplied
with work, and their condition appear
ed to be comfortable. In January a
babe was born. A short time after
ward they disappeared from Hazeton,
and their whereabouts according to
the Hazleton papers, was unknown.
The following is extracted from the
Allentown Item of Saturday. ~
"Frday afternoon Mrs. Andrew
Engle came to the police station with
her eight months old babe on her arms
asking for aid. She said she was from
Slatington, where she worked at the
American Hotel for her board. Her
husband boarded there and he skipp-
ed out without paying his board bill or
providing her with money. She was
told to see Poor Director Bittner. At
1880 o'clock last night Officer Weav-
er found her wandering about the
water works and brought her again to
the police station. She was given
lodging for the nigh. and breakfast at
the Pennsylvania Hotel. She was sent
to the poor house this afternoon. Mrs.
Engle is comely woman and looks
honest and willing to work. Her babe
lay sleeping in her arms. When her
husband skipped out he boarded a
Valley freight train to come to Allen
town, but was put off at Rockdale.
Officer Kramer was detailed to watch
for him. This morning Sergeant
Haines arrested him and locked him
up pending the arrival of a Constable
from Slatington with warrants charg-
ing fraud and deserton. The war
rants were issued by Squire Hankee." "

An Extremely Sad Death.

An announcement, which brought
sadness to many hearts in Blooms.
burg, was that of the death of Olin
F., son of Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Wv
ian, which occurred at the St. Tim
othy Hospital, Roxborough, Monday
night. The sickness, which was brief,
was contracted while on visit here.
On Thursday of last week party, con-
sistlng of his father and some other
friends, went to Wapwallopen to fish.
Upon their return, in the evening, to
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w.
Hess, on Iron street, whose guests
they were, the boy complained Of Sc.
we're pains. A physician was called,
under whose care he recovered, and
on Saturday accompanied his parents
home to Philadelphia. On Monday
he suffered relapse, and was taken
to the above mentioned institution,
and died as stated. He was an ex-
ceptlonally bright boy Of twelve years
of age, and his death is a sad blow
to his parents.

the cause of it. A few minutes be

when suddenly he remarked, swell |

"What's that said a middle aged

merchant prince, who was leaning
against the counter in the front part
of the store. "They must be crazy

up toward his interrogation, pointed
his index finger at the death list and
said "they're dead"
