UNWARRANTED CHARGE. — An article

Friday, purporting to be a reprint from
the Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin, in
which Moses Levi, a citizen of Bellefonte,
was made to appear in a very had light. It
wee an account of hie arrest iz the Lumber

farther stating that he was also being held
on the charge of receiving stolen diamonds |
to the value of two thoneand dollars.
Mr. Levi was in Wiltiamsport and ander

tirely unwarranted. That while there
parsuing his vocation as a corn doctor he
was robbed of about eighty dollars and had
ouly two cents iu his pocket. That when |
he made complaint to the police he was

INJURED BY EXPERIMENTING WITH
CARBIDE. —Last Saturday evening, Henry,
the twelve year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Abuer Noll, of Pleasant Gap, was badly
injured by an explosion of carbide and at
this writing it is not known just how seri-
ous bis injuries are, as his right eye was
pierced by a small piece of glass and it is
problematical whether he will lose his eye-
sight or not.
The boy has always been of a rather in-
ventive as well as experimental torn of
| mind and epevds much of his time study-
ing the practical workings of all kinds of
machinery. Last Satarday evening he was
experimenting with carbide as an explosive
by putting a small qaantity of it in an
empty pop bottle, then after dropping a
listle water on it hastily cork the bottle
and ran away just to hear it explode, which
it did with the noise of a dyuamite cracker.
He had worked the trick swice bat the
third time be failed to get away and the
fragments of the exploded bottle struck
him on the arms and chest and in the face,
causing a number of ugly binises, but the
worst injury was the puncture of the eye
by a small particle of glass.
He was at once taken to Philadelphia
with the intention of placing him in the
University hospital, but part of it being
closed for repairs he was taken to Bryn
Mawr hospital and placed under the care of
Dr. Carpeuter, one of the University bos.
pital’s eye specialists. Up to this writing
no operation bad been performed and the
dootors were not certain that one would be
necessary, giving the hope that there is au
even chance of saving both the eye and the
sight.
