THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1890. 5 A PARSON IN PRISON. The Goed Work He is Doing Among His Wicked Fellow Inmates. A LONG TERM IN JAIL IN PROSPECT The Dunbar Mine Widows Eememfcered With Christmas Gifts. MURDERER WILSON STILL HISSING FrFCIAL TELSGIIAM TO THE SISIM.TCn.1 Wilkesbakre, Dec. 25. A queer case is that of Key. Peter Roberts, now in jail, who has every reason to fear that he will be kept in jail after his term expires. Fire weeks ago, the gentleman named, pastor of the Plymouth Conj;reRational Church of this place, went to the Lackawanna county jail in default of 83,000 damages awarded to Miss Husaboe for breach of promise. While a student at Yale, Eoberts made love to her and promised marriage. He then secured the pastorate at Hyde Park, where he married another. He has the money to pay, but, acting upon the advice or his congregation, who believed him inno cent, lie refused to pay it, as they thought it would be tantamount to a, confession of guilt He is daily visited by the young woaicn and matrons of his chnrcb, who bring him fruit and flowers. He does not wear the prison garb, and has access to all corridor?. He has two months yet to serve. The warden says he thinks the Lord sent Mr. Roberts to jail to convert sinners there, and that lie had made a paradise of the place. Preacher Eoberts' great theory for cure-all is patience. The first thing in the morning lie will prav in private. Then he will eat a dainty breakfast, after which he will give n-ligious consolation to the other prisoner. One old sinner who had not prayed for 45 years, now prays daily. He has also given tin the use'of" tobacco and profanity. In f-u-t, every one is on his good behavior. There i"s a cloud in the sky. however, anu the preacher fears that he will be kept in jail even alter his term expires. Miss ilusaboe's counsel say that three months in ;.iil will by no means liquidate a fine of '$3,000, and" that he will be kept there as much longer as they can secure sentence. Mm Husaboe herself is quite broken hearted, and says she will keep the minis ter in jail as long as she can. In addition to his labors as a Christian missionary in jail, Rev. Mr. Roberts finds time to t'dit the Blade, a weekly paper. Twice a week the office boy comes for copy. A FISH CAUGHT BY HAND. Co rm cant I-ake is so Fall of Black Bass That They are Crowded. ffrECIAt, TKI.ZGRA.M TO TH DItFATCTT.t Meadviixe, Dec. 25. As an evidence that Conneaut lake is so full of black bass that they must be crowding each other for room, it is said that a young man named Van Sicklen captured a big one with his hands yesterday. The young man was skating near the shore, and the ice was so thin and clear that he could plainly see the bass as they swam beneath his ieet'towards the shore. Following the streak, the uniqne fisher man discovered the fish wedged so close to the ice, and in some weeds, that be could not withdraw. It was then an easy matter to stamp a hole in the ice, and seize the fi'h by the tail and pull him to the shore. The fish proved to be a handsome 5Jf-pouud black bass a large fish for even these game waters. ANOTHER FATAL FALL OF SLATE. The Accident Costs the Lire of a Hungarian Coal Miner.

The United Mine Workers presented the widows of the victims of the Hill Farm mine disaster with 5400 as a Christmas present. The amount was distributed equally among the 19 wid ows, over 20 being allowed to each. The women all appreciated the gilt very highly and hoped to be able to repay the committee some day for their kindness. They also re ceived some other gifts, which which were highly gratifying, hut all told they passed a very gloomy day. . Efforts are now being made to have their damage suits against the Dunbar Furnace Company compromised, and with all ap pearances of success. Both the company and the women look with favor on such a settlement, whereby the latter will be al lowed a reasonable amount for the loss of the heads of their families.

Wilson, the es caped murderer, has not yet been heard from, though officers are still on his track, and he may be apprehended at any moment. It is thought by some that he has not left this vicinity, and that he is in hiding some where, secreted by some friends whom he made while here. His escape was a matter of long and hard labor, as he has been working at the mortar between the stones for many weeks. , The mortar had all been carefully removed, and the cracks stufled with paper and then covered with mortar lichtly, in order to avoid suspicion. When Wilson hadall the stones loosened, he broke a leg off his iron bedstead, and using it as a lever, tore out one of the bars across the window. He then found it an easy matter to crawl through, drop to the ground and get away. A GOOD STRIKE OF GAS.

A Sad Ceremony Marks the Observance of Christmas at Greensborg. rSPECXAL TELEGBAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. Gbeensbtjko, Dec 25. The saddest Christmas, perhaps, that this city has ever seen, has just been passed. The general joy usually attendant upon the occasion was dampened by the death of District Attorney Causes of Scrofula First of all. Scrofula Is inherited. The large majority of people suffer more or less from im pure blood given them by their parents. Second, Scrofula may be acquired by trying to lire on insufficient and poorly-cooked food, which fails to supply the blood with enough of the elements of life and health. Third, confinement in poorly ventilated rooms, workshops or factories, or living In damn, unhealthy localities, will poison the blood and develop Scrofula. For all Cases Of scrofula, whether inherited or acquired, and in whatever form. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the most successful medicine known. It thoroughly expels every trace of impurity, gives the blood those elements of health and vitality which it craves, and helps the liver and kidneys, the great sewers of the system, to perform their natural dutlc".
