A nice looking couple rang the dooibell ot the resident preacher the other evening. The Parson looked out from upstairs and took in the situa tion, as he thought, and took a mar riage license and other documents necessary in tying nuptial knots along downstairs so as to have things handy. After meeting and greeting the young and blushing couple he was just about to inquire of the gentleman if he had a license to enter the matrimonal rela tions when the man said to the parson that the lady wished to speak to the parson's wife about a job of work for herself in the parson's culinary de partment. This statement set the parson back five dollars and he called his wife to finish the ceremony. The young man seemed much pleased with both ladies and there is an en gagement now of one kind and per haps the other. THE STATE AT A GLANCE. William Barton, of Wrightsville, while returning from escorting his sweetheart home on Sunday evening, was stabbed in the right side by his rival, Charles Pinkerton, who was in waiting for him. A chestnut feast is being held this week at Wild Cat, a resort about one mile from Wrightsville. Chest nuts arc served in all styles, and bread is made of them. The feast began on Monday and will continue all week. The greater portion of the goods stolen from the D. L. & W. depot, at Hunlock's Creek, have been recov ered from people living in Grand Tunnel and Avondale, who had pur chased the goods, not knowing that they had been stolen. Ross Matheny, of Johnstown, caught his foot in a frog Monday morning, while clearing a wreck on the Southwest Railroad, and could not extricate it. A big derrick car ran over him, cutting him in two and killing him instantly. Unless the rapid spread of diph theria is checked in the village of East Berlin the town will be isolated from the outside world. The schools have been closed and extraordinary efforts are being made by the citizens to stamp out the disease. Late Tuesday night the jury at Wilkes-Barre returned a verdict giving J. Andrew Boyd $2,799.36, all he asked and interest, in his case against John B. Smith. Smith seized his laundry and sold the machinery fcr the rent due from a man from whom Boyd bought the laundry. Robert Crawford, of Shamokin, 33 years old, was fatally wounded Tuesday by the premature discharge of a shot gun. The entire contents of the heavy charge tore off half of his face. A party of hunters ran to the scene and carried Crawford home to his wife and children. At the State Convention of County Commissioners, held in Belle fonte, after a most thorough examina tion of the Meyers voting machine, now in use in many of the cities of New York, resolutions were passed urging an amendment to the State Constitution which will permit the use of voting machines in Pennsyl vania. Judge Schuyler has handed down an important opinion in the case of the Commonwealth vs. Geo. Walter, of Palmer township, who was charged with illegal fishing. The decision holds that the act of 1899, under which the prosecution was brought, is unconstitutional. Walter was ar rested and fined $100 and costs for fishing in the Bushkiil Creek, a trout stream, with a dip net. Harvey Newcomer, 19, and Miss Barbara Ilgenfritz, 20 years old, were instantly killed by being struck by a freight train, north-bound, on the Northern Central Railway, near Glen Rock, south of York, Saturday night. Miss Ilgenfritz wanted to visit a Glen Rock dressmaker, and Newcomer ac- companien her. Upon returning they walked along the track and stepped out of the way of one train and got in the way of another. To-morrow is Arbor Day. Hot Molls, hot muffins, hot cakes, made with Royal Baking Powder may be freely eaten without fear of indigestion. AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN. Many Complaint! In Regard to Streets and Gutters Made.
