that tire parties involved, including the
betray ed, the betreyer and the physician
connected with the case, were all orlgi-
nally from Wayne county, and all very
respectfully connected. DR.. G. w. TreV-
erton, of Scranton, cousin Of Helen
Potts, who was murdered by Carlyle
Harris some years since, and who wac
an important witness in the trial which
ended in Harris's olectrocution, was

which caused the death OF Helen Brock,
girl twenty years OF age, whose pa
rents, former residents Of Cherry Ridge,
this county, now live at Cowanesque,
Tioga county, this State. William H.
Brown, her fret cousin, who admits
himself to have been the author OF her
trouble, is q resident OF Carbondale. He
was born in Dunmore, his father having
been q native Of Cherry Ridge. He is
glass-cutter by trade, and recently work
ed for year or more in Honesdale,
finding employment in Honesdale shops,
and living at the boarding house Of Mrs.
Histed, on Church street, above Eighth
While here he impressed his associates
as q retiring and exemplary young man g,
and much surprise is expressed that he
should have become involved in his
present trouble. Intimate relations be-
tween Brown and Miss Brock commenc
ed, according to the young mans con-
fession, in March last, while he wac
working for her father OF Cowanesque,
and were continued until he left Tloga
county for the home Of his sister in Car

Of the girl, and AYERS that he would
have married her, if DR.. Treverton had
revealed her true condition to him. Dr..

uaing soft coal in their engines. They
will have the sympathy of every town
on the lines Of the roads mentioned,
whose residents have been subjected to
the annoyance and damage resulting
from the use of bituminous coal. We
catch it in Honesdale occasionally, and
can imagine what an intolerable bur
den the black smoke must be in places
where perhaps a dozen engines are
belching it forth in unlimited quanti-
ties day after day. To say nothing of
the matter of cleanliness, polluted air

luted water.
