.Sommers and Sassaman on Trial.
They Relate the Story Of the Accident Which
Resulted in the Beath Of Wellington
Hartman.

The case of the Commonwealth
against George Sommers and Miles
Sassaman was called in court at Dan

last, the two defendants above men,

hveryman Hartzel ofthis town to drive
10 Catawissa. After securing the con-
veyance, they changed their plans ap-
parently, and went to Danvlle. After
remaining in that city for an hour or
so, they started for home. Between
Grovanla and Danville they colllded
with a spring-wagon, the occupants of
which were Wellington Hartman and
daughter. Both vehicles were up set,
and Mr. Hartman sustained injuries
from which he died shortly alter.
Sommers and Sassaman were arrested,
gwen a hearing and held for court.
The grand jury at the last term OF
court returned true bill, on two IN
dlctments, manslaughter and invoun-
tary manslaughter.
All of the time on Monday was
taken up in the selection Of a jury.
The examination OF Witnesses began
on Tuesday morning. Jacob Hart
man was the first called for the Com.
monweahh. His testimony was con
fined to description Of the road
where the accident occurred.

Tn. Woman With a Small Income.

The woman with a small income is
beginning at last TO understand the
law of affinity and color in dress. and II
she is wise she keeps TO simple style
which happens to be her own. By do
ing so she brings in the virtue OF indi-
vidual chic. which in itself is a quality
almost inimitable and not TO be pur-
chased by gold.
The woman gazing dolefully at the
balance which threatens soon to be on
the wrong side of her handbook may
yet take heart OF grace and go in for
the simple friezes and the inexpensive
stuffs. To the country dresser friezes
and tweeds represent the modes of the
moment.
There are a great many women who
never look we'll in what IS known as
the real tailor made. and this class
will bless the return 10 the Russian
blouse style, which can look its best in
heavy serge or tweed properly weight
ed and pouching ever so slightly back
and front over a jeweled band or sim
pie fold of glace deftiy swathed round
the figure. To a woman OF slight build
there is no more becoming fashion. and
she may wear il with confidence, al
though the newest Paris modes only
pouch in front. the backs being mostly
tight and plain. with the exception OF a
very wide pointed band at the back. IL
is here that individual taste may have
full play, and several smars models
have the narrowest possible belts.

quite common.
Evening costumes rejoice in rich dec
orations. Some of these are motives
done with gold thread or chenille over
net or other sheer material. Paillettes,
although occupying subordinate posi-
ton in the decorative scheme, are new
ertheless utilized in the touching up of
chenille embroideries or in the outlin-
ing of appliqued flowers and foliage.
Coarse net touched with spots of black
chenille overlaid the hounces on a very
smart dinner dress. The corsage was
further embellished with a vest of
white. over which the dotted chenille
net was draped.
