WAYLAID BY A THUG,

Our sister :own of Berwick was
thrown into wild excitement Satur-
day evening, by highway robbery,
committed on Pine Street. The
victim was w. S. Dlehl. a representa-
tive Of a large Art firm of York, this
state. The perpetrator sneaked up
behind Mr.. Dehl and administered a
severe blow with sandbag. He was
rendered unconscious, and remained
in that state for several minutes.
When he regained his senses, his
gold watch, revolver, and a sum OF
money were missing Mr.. Diehl does
not know how much money was
stolen, but it was more than five dol
lars. Frequently in the past he had
carried large sums of money on his
person, a fact with which the person
or persons who committed the crime
were evidently familiar. Berwick
police officers made diligent search
to locate the guilty party, but with,
out avail.
Mordecai J. Fowler was arrested
by policeman Clayberger on Monday
He is charged with the crime, but
claims to be able to prove an alibi.

Tried to Kill Himself.

An attempt at self destruction was
made by Erastus Baker of Espy,
Saturday. He took an ounce OF
laudanum, mixed with some whskey,
and after remarking to a nelghbor
that he had taken his last dose, went
into the house. The neighbor had
his mlsgivings, and after a brief
space of time, entered the Baker
house, and found that he had made
good his threat, and that the opium
was already taking effect. A physician
was promptly summoned, who admin
istered an emetlc, and life was saved.
The unfortunate man, i. appears has
been out of work since the aban-
donment of the canal, and failure to
obtain employment depressed his
spirits. He is widower, and for a
number OF years has been living alone,

DEATH OF REV. F. B, RIDDLE.

The illness of Rev. +. B. Riddle,
which has been noted from time to
time IN these columns, ended in
death at his residence on Centre
street about eight o'clock Monday
morning. His affliction had its be-
ginning in November of 1900 in the
nature of paralysis. His entire right
side was affected, and the loss of vol
untary motion rendered him helpless.
He had second stroke in October
last, since which time his condition
had been very critical.
Rev. Riddle was born in Center
county, this state, December Z, 1920.
He obtained his education at Dick
son College, Carlisle, and went from
there to the Concord Biblical Institute
where he prepared for the ministry,
entering the Baltimore Conference in
1857. He became a member of the
Central Pennsylvania Conference at
Its organization in 1860 and has held
many important appointments, among
them being Berwick, Shamokin, AL
toona, Huntingdon, Danville, Tyrone,
Lewisburg, Bloomsburg, Renova and
Wrightsvlle.
Wrightsville was his last charge.
After completing this appointment he
was obliged by reason of advanced
years and failing health to give up
active service in the ministery. This
was three years ago. He then moved
to bloomsburg and has resided here
ever since.
He was twice married. His first
wife, who died about twenty-five
years ago, was a Miss Packer, daugh-
ter of Samuel J. Packer, of Sunbury.
The fruit of this union was FIVE chill.
dren, two of whom are dead. The
survivors are Jennie, Mary and Julia.
His second marriage was to Miss
Annie X. McCollum, of Huntingdon,
who with two children, Margaret and
Silas survive.
1t will be seen that the major por.
tion of his life has been gwen over to
the service of the church. He. has
manifested himself man of honor
and virtue and passes to his reward
with the credit OF life well spent.
The funeral will occur from the
residence to morrow at ten o'clock
Services will be conducted by mum

An Enforced Vacation.

The employees of the Blooms
burg silk mill are having an enforced
vacation this week. The main shaft
broke Tuesday night, making a lay
off necessary until the damage can be
repaired, which will require three
days at the least calculation. The
misfortune occurring, as it did, while
the plant was being operated by the
night force, made it impossible for
the proprietors to reach their many
employees in time to save them trip
to the mill in the morning.

One by one the old residents of
Columbia County are passing away.
The summons came to Henry
Wagner, at his home in Divide, on
Monday. He had been in poor
health for long time, being af-
flicted with stomach trouble. This
however, was not the sole cause of
death, old age being partly respon-
sible. He was born in 1920, and
was therefore 81 years old. Mrs.
Wagner was called from earth
several years ago, so that now
there are only the children, seven
in number, four sons and three
daughters remaining. The funeral,
with interment in the Cemetery at
Waller took place this morning.

Loafing on the street corners
Sunday evenings is being practised
again and our policemen should see

Last Sunday evening it was almost
impossible to get through the mob

Paducah has been without a board
Of health for about two years, and yet
no steps are taken to organize one.
No one seems to know whether there
are any members Of the board left or
not, and no one seems to care. II is
more than probable that IL there were
pay attached to any of the positions
on the health board. the administra-
tion would have seen long ago that
someone was filling them, and making
. bluff at performing the duties, at
least. It would probably be very sur
prising to the prominent visitors who
come to Paducah and profess to admire
1t to learn that we have no board of
health. One thing is certain, they
would never presume that It was be-
cause we didn't need one. Il is sur
prising that man of Councilman J.
G. Brooks courage has never brought
up the matter in the council. He
could at least have the satisfaction Of
knowing that he did his duty towards
his profession, his constituents and his
city, even If he got sat on.

that he would serve that long after

lice chiefs would be necessary under
the new charter. Now we have two
men to do the same thing and draw
the same pay. 1t was not necessary
to have q police chief at present.
Yet one was appointed, it looks as If
to pay a political debt, and not be-
cause a chief is needed, or even ad.
visable, at this time. The prospects
are for an injunction, and there is no
telling what will bob up from such
methods of running a city before the
msrshsl's four year term is out.

STATEMENT THAT FIGHT
WAS A FAKE. .-,

Robert Fitzsimmons will send to
Mayor Schmitz Of San Francisco . let
ter asking him to investigate the
charge made Of taking the fight last
Friday night and agreeing to abide by
his decision. Fitz first decided to
bring Q libel suit, but lawyer per-
suaded him not to do so, as the &C
cusing paper could keep him in the
courts for months. The Frisco mayor
is the only man in authority accepting
the fake theory, to settle the matter
by taking testimony in regular judicial
way and then deciding the question
himself. Fitz and JEFF will send let
tiers ct the same time, making the
same appeal. II the mayor accepts
Fitz is positive he will be acquitted.
II the mayor refuses, then Fisz can
declare that official is afraid to make
an investigation, as he knows the
charge is fiimsy.

The sad accident on Broadway yes
terday shows plainly how dangerous
bicycle riding is on that thoroughfare.
The street in summer time Is covered
with . coating of mud that renders it
continually dangerous. This mud is
from the chronic filth that is allowed
to accumulate and the water from the
street sprinkler. and there is constant
danger from ones wheel sliding
from under him, as the little victims
did yesterday. Too many people
"scorch" on Broadway. Dozens of
people have been run down by careless
wneelmen, and many wheelmen have
been knocked off and painfully hurt
by drivers of vehicles. The worst
time in the day is between 10 and /
O'Clock, when the street is filed with
racers on bicycles and dozens Of rapid
horses as people go to dinner. It is
hardly safe to cross the street, and
the police should take steps to regulate
it in such way that the public will
be protected.

A revolution may shortly be effect
ed in criminoloey. OF the thousands
of people serving, or who have served,
sentences for poisoning others, or have
perhaps paid the extreme penalty for
the alleged crime, . majority were
found guilty Of administering arsenic
poisoning. Notable among these is
Mrs. Maybrick. Every time . person
dies under suspicious circumstances
and an examination is made, it is
announced that arsenic poisoning was
found in the stomach. Prof. Ber-
trand, of Paris, France, has just an
nounced that the alleged discovery Of
Gautier, published and ridiculed two
years ago, that the human body al
ways contains arsenic to b greater or
less degree, is strictly true and has
been fully demonstrated. II is said
that Prof. Bertrand has invented q
method by which arsenic may be
found in the human body, living or
dead, which will be Of the greatest
moment In criminal Jurisprudence.
Bertrand says that now probably hun
dre1s of persons are executed and sent
to Jail yearly for arsenic poisoning,
while the person alleged to have been
poisoned produced his or her own ar
senic and died of too much, Just as a
snake is liable to die of its own poison
when, by any chance, it bites itself.
The friends of Mrs. Maybrick having
been advised Of the discovery, asked
Prof. Bertrand to help them get a new
trial for the American woman.

TOR ON A TYPEWRITER
MAY NOT BE LEGAL.

Bowling Green, KY. July 29-Ths
will Of Captain Richard Vance. U. s.
A., whose home was in this city and
who died suddenly some time ago at
New Orleans. leaving an estate worth
probably $4,000. was presented for
probate here this morning. but certain
Of the heirs object to the probate, ana
an entirely novel question is raised.
Captain Vance wrote the will him
self with typewriter. though he
signed IL in ink. Under our statutes
a will written wholly by the testator
and signed by him does not need to be
attested, but the question arises
whether this being typewritten comes
within the meaning Of the statute re-
quiring such wills to be wholly writ
ten. Attorneys have been employed
ON both sides, and a big legal battle
is in prospect.
r. V. Carter and Mrs. Mary Garter
of this city are beneficiaries under the

Of the State street department store

committed suicide yesterday ut his
home on Thirty seventh court and
Michigan avenue by shooting himself
in the head. The wound inflicted caus-
ed instant death. Acute insomnia,
which probably caused temporary in
sanity, is said to be responsible for the
deed. Mr.. Rothschild returned from
a six weeks outing in Minnesota the
past week, and seemed improved phys.
ically. At no time, 1t is said. was
his mental condition such as to cause
apprehension.
shortly after luncheon Mr.. Roths-
child entered the bat broom of one Of
the upper floors OF his home and al
most Immediately the servants heard
the report Of q revolver. Rushing to
the bathroom, they found the mer-
chant lying on the floor. A bullet
wound in the forehead showed what
happened. Mr.. Rothschild was still
breathing. A physician was summon
cd, but could be Of no service.
Mr.. Rothschild retired from the
management Of the big department
store at State and Van Buren, streets
about two months ago on account Of
i'll health. A constitution ordinarily
robust had been shattered in building
mp the business since its opening,
seven years ago. Interested with him
and the principal owner Of the store
was Nelson II. Morris, his fsther.in-
law.
Mr.. Rothsohild was born in the lit
tie German village Of Nordstetten 81
years ago. In 1875 he came to Chi

AND TRAVELLER.

Few newspapers in the United

Prof. Mead, government expert on
irrigation in the department Of agri-
culture, advocates private ownership
of the irrigation enterprises. which
he seems to think that, like every
thing else, would be better managed
and give more universal satisfaction
under private than government con-
troll. It is considered an argument in
favor of private ownership.
