WIFE PROTECTOR PUNISHED.
Maurice MCGOWAN was sent to jail
yesterday for two months and fined $40
by Judge Dow in the city court. Mr..
MCGOWAN was before the court for as
saulting David Delowery. In the testi-
mony it developed that Mrs. MCGOWAN
has for some weeks past been insulted
on the street by DeloWery. The latter
has persistently followed her and re-
Gently he made an insulting remark to
her.
Mrs. MCGOWAN told her husband of
the matter and the latter demanded OF
Delowery what he meant by insulting
his (McGowan's) wife. Delowery re-
piled in surly way and in moment
was fiat on his back in the gutter. He
was taken to the hospital, where it
was found that his jaw was broken and
he was minus some Of his teeth, to say
nothing of various bits of cuticle.

CREDITORS HEARD IN THE G.
MIX COMPANY CASE.

MIX COMPANY CASE.
Many creditors of w. A. Kendrick, of
Wallingford, doing business under the
name of the G. I. Mix company, were
in Referee Newton's court yesterday
morning when claims were heard. The
workmen of the firm desire to be made
preferred creditors, although provis-
ion of the bankruptcy law seems to
make this impossible.
1t has been ruled in many cases of
this character that money paid by a
bankrupt within three months of his
filing a petition must be returned. 9th
erwise the creditor could not become a
preferred creditor. In the case of the
workmen of the G. l. Mix company it
will be impossible, in most instances
for them to return the money. Conse-
quently they may have to take nchances
with other creditors.

BURCL AIRY COIVI TED
AT ENTERP RISE

Thefts Of shces setm to be the fad with
burglars who are operating in the lower
end Of the county. In addition to the
burelafies Of this sort at DoIa ehron-
icled by the Telegram few days ago,
one occurred at Enterpriss Friday night.
The store of L. O. Ncrntirc 4 Co. at
that place was entered that night after
0 o'clock by unknown parties Tho usual
manner of cfecting an entrance. that of
prying the doors open, was observed by
the burglars. This was done by the use
OF heavy iron bars, obtained in the neigh
b5rhood.
Shoes amounting in value to SIS were
taken out of the cases and carried OF.
Tobacco and other articles werO also
stolen. No money was secured.
The store was ransacked generally. but
it is evident that all the burglars cared
for were shoes, for which they seem to
have mania.
The owners of the store, as we'll as the
business men generally ut that point, are
very much exercised over the affair, on
account of the fact that this is the third
time that store has been burgiarized in
the past two months and every time
shoes We're taken.
A message came here early Saturday
morning for blood-hounds, but Clarks-
burg does not happen to possess such.
Other places were also communicated
with, with the end in view of running
the burglars down. It is stated that
no stone will be left rnturned to apprc.
bend them and break up this system of
burglary.
Parties are under suspicion and have
beer watched some time. Certain parties
have been discovered selling shoes, and
they are not merchants. 1t is believed
they are the burglars who entered stores
at Dola and in all probability they are
the parties who burglarized the store at
enterprise. Arrests viii follow as soon
as the parties are identified as those
who committed the burglaries.

ACCUSED

TWEEN POLISH SISTERS AT
COLUMBIA MINES.
Young Gil Arrested and Jailed Charged
With Stealing Sisters Hat From
Trunk Sisters Made Up IN
Court and Case Was

Sophia Kolknsldi, sixteen year-old
Polish NAMED, spent Friday night an the
county jan. She was charged with rob-
berry by her sisters husband, for break
ing open trunk and stealing hat. The
young girl and her sister had terrible
family racket Friday, in which n re-
volyer and long pair of scissors fig
ured. The case was aired in Magistrate
NJ. S. Riley's court Saturday morning,
but reconciliation was effected between
the two sisters and the matter was dis
missed from the court.
The sisters name Is Mrs. Max Chris,
and she lives with her husband Mt Co.
lumbia mines, where the Inter is en-
ployed. 1t appears that the younger sis
ter had only recently come to this coun-
try from her native land. She cannot
speak English. The girl wanted 10 leave
her sisters home and go out to work as
domestic, and it seems that her sister
and brother-in-law didn't want her to go
and locked her clothes up in q trunk
The girl broke open the trunk to get
her things and took hat belonging TO
her sister besides. "A squabble ensued
in which . revolver and long pair of
scissors were used by the sisters with the
intention to brighten and intimidate each
other. Max came into town and procured
. warrant against her, charging her with
theft.
Constable Edgell arrested the girl Fri
day night at the home Of j. R. Kick
man, IN Glen Elk, where the girl had
gone to work. She was brought to the
county jail and imprisoned.
Saturday morning the trial was ar
ranged before the magistrate, but the
two sisters made up in court and the
magistrate dismissed the case. Mrs.
Charts agreed to treat her sister nicely
in the future and the younger agreed
to the same thing. They will go back to
live together at the home at Columbia
mines.

CIRCUMSTANCES NOW POINT 10
ORIGIN OF FIRE BY GAS STOVE,

II is Believed by Many, However, That
Prince Was Murdered for the Purpose
of Robbery and House tred to
Hide the Crime.

The charred and burned remains of E.
I. Prince, the Baltimore & Ohio station
agent at smithacld, who was burned to
death in the destruction Of his house

rived in Clarlssburg ON the evening Short

Furnitue company and prepared for bu-
rial. The undcrtalScrs prepared the body
and shipped It ON the 0:45 o'clock train
to Washington, d. c., the former home
of the deceased, for burial.
The body was in a horrible condition,
tho flames having burned the legs and
arms entirely away. The head was burn
cd of, and nothing was left of the body
but the charred and blackened trunk.
Circumstances now point to the theory
that Mr.. Prince was burned in
the house having been accidentally fired
from the gas in a stove in his room,
although 1t is believed by many that
tho man was murdered, probably for the
purpose Of robbery, and then the house
set atire TO hide the horrible crime.
Ar. Prince had been hard Mt work for
several hours, 1t IS said. getting ready
his monthly reports. He went home.

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better Mt
home by proper attention to food diges-
tion, and regular use of German Syr-
up. Free expectoration in the morning
is made certain by German Syrup, so
is a good nights rest and the absence
of that weakening cough and debilitat-
ing night sweat. Restless nights and
the exhaustion due to coughing, the
greatest danger and dread of the con-
sumptive, can be prevented or stopped
by taking German Syrup literally and
regularly. Should you be able to 60 to
a warmer cline, you will find that of
the thousands of consumptives there, the
few who are benefited and regain
strength are those who use German Syr-
up. Trial bottles, 25c; regular size, 75c.

M1L1oNAIRE's POOR STOMACH.

The worn-out stomach of the over-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the pub
lie prints as horrible example of the
evils attendant ON the possession of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilcrs. Dyspepsia and in
digestion are rampant among these peo-
pie, and they suffer far worse fortunes
than the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of standard medicine like

a favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for. over s5 years. An
