THE STATU AT A GLANCE-
Ephriatn Lewis, of Towanda,
Saturday morning went to lead a
young bull from its stall and the
animal buried a horn into the young
man's left side, reaching the heart.
Lewis was taken to a Sayre hos
ptaal. He has no chance to re
cover. Cyrus Schniale, a fanner, re
turned home after a week's work
at Oak Grove to find the house
loeked. Otr breaking in the door
he discovered his wife dead in bed
She had not been seen by neigh
bors since Thursday, they thinking
she was away from home.
Frank Britton.a 16 year-old boy
ofMuncy, is in the Williamsport
hospital with a bullet wound in the
hip. On Sunday he went to take
a 2?-calliber pistol from his pocket
and m doing so discharged it.
Deputy Factory Inspector E
W. Bishop on Tuesday caused the
arrest 01 a. iu. jJuroicK, manager
of the Harvey Silk Mill, at Oly
phant, on the charge of employing
twenty-two young girls without the
certificates required by law. Bur
dick pleaded guilty and was fined
$50 and costs.
While shooting at chickens
scratching up corn Monday after
noon, W. H. Bushnell, superin
tendent of the Erie Company's
farm at Dunmore, sent a Windiest
er rifle ball clear through the body
of four-year old Andrew Bover, son
of an Erie Company miner, living
near the farm. The child died in
two hours. Bushnell gave himself
up.
The constables of Northumber
land county were surprised on
Monday when Sheriff Samuel Die
trie ordered the commissioners to
withhold all subpoena money the
constables claim belongs to them.
He declared he was entitled to it
according to the Sheriffs' Fee bill.
The sheriff claims that if he has
the power he will put a stop to con
stables going out and hunting for
cases, as there will be no compen
sation, and that this will tend to
send nothing but purely criminal
cases to court.
Prof. T. M. West, teacher of
Latin at Dickinson Seminary, was
brutally assaulted late Monday
night as he was returning to the
seminary building from down town.
As West passed a dark corner at
the foot of the campus three men
pounced upon him and felled him
with a blow in the back. Then,
while oue sat on his legs and the
other on the head, the third beat
him unmercifully. They left him
in an unconscious condition.
It is thought that his assailants
mistook Prof. West for some one
else.
Under a new law justices of the
peace are required to give the date
of the expiration of their commis
sions in attesting papers. Notaries
public have been required to do
this for a year or more.

LEYAN IN JAIL.
Charged With Murder of James
McAndrewa. Officials Be
lieve This Arrest Will
Bring Results.
Lodged in Jail Monday.
In the detention in the Columbia
County prison of a man whose name
is Ainandus Levan, District At
torney Duy (eels almost certain
that they have the actual slayer of
James McAndrews, who was found
lying along the road between Ceil
tralia and Aristes, on the morning
of March 30th. Levan has been a
suspect from the very first, and has
been under strict espionage. Suspi
cion at that time was in every way
sufficient to warrant his arrest, but
recent developments adds to ti e
strength of the main links in the
chain of evidence against him.
The arrest of Levan is the result
of some very clever detective work
011 the part of McKelvy, one
of Captain Linden's men, of Phila
delphia. The day after being in
formed of McAndrew's death at the
Fountain Springs Hospital, by Dr.
Biddle, District Attorney Duv went
to Philadelphia where he secured
the above named secret service man.
He came to Aristes, in the guise
of a speculator. He spent money
lavishly, and by gradual steps
worked his way in Levan's friend
ship. Elmer Miuear, was another
person whose company the detec
tive sought. The fondness for each
other grew until McKelvy pro
posed a pleaf-ure trip to Blooms
burg. The two agreed, and they
left Aristes Sunday afternoou,
spending the night in Sunbury and
arriving in town Monday morning.
Once here it took but a short time
to spring the trap, and in less than
an hour the two were safe iu the
keeping of Sheriff Knorr. Minier
is charged with highway robbery.
Against him will appear Hoyt
Yoder, to whom he has already
made a confession, and in which he
said he was influenced and abetted
by Levan.
Levan and Miuear are evidently
members of a gang which it is be
lieved committed the many crimes
in and about Ceutralia of late.
They are both men of bad records,
and if t lie charge against ihem can
be sustained as the District At
torney claims it will be, it will serve
to show that they are not only
murderers upon occasion but
criminals by profession.
They will be given a hearing be
fore Squire Jacoby Monday after
noon. Williamsport Defeats Normal.
Patrons of the national game got
their money's worth at Normal field
yesterday afternoon. The game
abounded in clever plays and good
stick work, two features which kept
the large crowd cheering almost
throughout the. entire coutest.
The game for seven innings was
close and it looked as though Nor
mal would get away with the "Bill
town" professionals. The school
boys were backing White up in
faultless fashion and that youngster
was dishing up a choice variety of
twisters and arousing the crowd to
the highest pitch of enthusiasm.
But things took a turn, sad to re
late, and with awful precepitancy
too. The visitors opened up in the
seventh. Several we'd placed hits
coupled with a little wildness on
White's part and some ragged work
iu the held, netted them eight runs
Aldinger took White out of the box
in the last inning and put in Mc-
Labe, but it was too late.
Taking it all the way through it
was a good game to look at, and
Normal will lose no prestige by
the defeat.
The same teams play again today.

A company has recently bought
the logs which composed the cabin
in which Lincoln was born, and
also those of a cabin in which Jeff
Davis spent part of Ins boyhood,
and it was intended to rebuild the
cabins at the St. Louis Exposition.
By an accident recently these logs
got mixed up and cannot be sorted.
Now the company is to build a
single building of all the logs.

is in this peculiar incident.

public, Independence Hall, Phila
delphia. t. The passing days bring us again
to Memorial Day, when we garland
the resting places of out heroic dead
with the flowers of budding spring
time and droop above them the flag
for whose purity and glory they offered
their lives. In days agone they were
our comrades in that nvchty host,
whose daring, doing and dying continu
ed the republic and made possible our
present glory and greatness s a na
tion. In the retrospect of Memorial
Day we refresh anJ renew the mem
ories of the past and intensify the
comradeship of the present.
"The good deeds left behind them
form a chain to bind them
To those who linger here". '
Let us then, comrades, gather at their
graves as at an altar and whilst there
vo.ee a prayer oi thankfulness that our
lives have been spared to eniov the
fruitage of their toil and sacrifice. I
Let us uot lorget those who rest be-,
neath the daisy-spangled sod in graves
marked "unknown" and who made the
sacrifice of giving not only their lies
but their name for their country.
Strew flowers on the waters in tribute
to those of our comrades who sleep
peacefully in the gardens of the sea.
Let us tell the rising generation of
their glorious deeds, and by word and
act do our part to continue to the
memory of the patriotic dead the rev
erence of the ever increasing millions
living in security and peace in the land
saved by the matchless devotion ot the
Union soldier and sailor. Let our
tribute of love, affection and comrade
ship be characterized by a sincerity
and faithfulness that shall render the
tribute sacred, and keep Memorial
Day devoted to the lofty purpose for
which it was designed.
