Is Taken in Custody ou tho Charge of
Feloniously Wounding.
Constable Stephen A. Ollby, of this
city, wns arrested on Monday night
by County Detective Leyshon and
I'iken before Alderman Jones of tho
1'erond ward, who held him In $500
lmll on a charge of feloniously wound
ing Eddie fiuimun on New Year's
nljtiit.
The charge of feloniously wounding
tefeis to the net of Constable Ollby In
drawing htn revolver and shooting Oor
siiiiu when the latter had escaped from
tho constable's custody whllu he was
being taken to the county Jail on com
mittment papers Issued by Aldeiman
Delevun, who had held Gorman ire
$.'00 bait on tho specific charge of the
larceny of $2.00.
The constable was on his way to the
Jail with the prisoner and had gone
but a shoit ways when the latter aimed
a savage blow at him, which caused
Ollby to relax his hold. When Gorman
stripped himself of hl3 overcoat and
lint and ran down Belmont street and
was outstepping his caretaker, who
was burdened with a sore foot. After
Ollby had called on him to stop, the
constable fired his revolver In -the air,
then aimed at the runaway and shot
t ice more, the first bullet going wide
but the second finding n, resting place
In Oilby's knee, which brought his
flight to an abrupt termination. Gilby
then hired a cab and brcught his pris
oner or patient to the city stronghold,
'roni whrnre hr was convoyed to the
11 neijcenry hospital, where fl f bullet
wis extT-rt-tctf b o that night.
Hince then it iins;heen a. winch dis

at tho time and did not teallzo what he
wait 'lolng. T" thW th, eonstablo if
plies that If h.is not toiuhod a bit of
Iloui"- sinew Christmas day
The fact of Gilby's being arrested by
l.eyshon Is commented upon for the
leason that he wns removed from the
ofllce of county detective several hours
before he served the warrant upon
Clllby nnd had been succeeded In tho
posdtlon by William A. Phillips. Tho
explanation given for this Is that the
papers were prepared on Saturday, be
fore he wns removed, and thnt. ho was
acting with the knowledge and under
the Instruction of District Attorney
Lewis In the matter.
Constable Neary accompanied Detec
tive T-eyshon when tho nrrest was
made. Constable Ollby wished to ba
taken before Alderman Dolevnn, whosj
court officer he Is, but his request was
I, refused as Alderman Jones had Issued
;, the papers, and he wns brought before
;; Aldeiman Jones, who. nfter hearing
"' the evidence, held him in JS00 bail. Al
I, her 1C Gllby, brother of the prisoner,
i fiuhlshe'd the security and tho eon
stablo was set fiee.
Eddie Oorman. the cause of the
trouble, Is still at the hospital recov
ering from tho effects of tho wound.
He Is doing nicely and If no unfore
seen compllcatlels ensue, he will bo
nble to leave-the institution In a week
or ten days. The constable lS'prepared
to take him to the county Jail as soon
ns hg can walk, still having the oilgin
al commitment with him.

The day 'for tho dedication nnd open
ing of the handsome new Trinity Prot
estnnt Episcopal church In this city has
at last been determined, and If all goes
well, Sunday, Feb. 10, will witness the
Imposing ceremonies. It has been de
cided that the event will be extended
over until Monday, tho 11th.
These plans were discussed and not
ed upon nt a vestry meeting held In
tho Trinity parish house on Monday
evening. The vestrymen did not ad
journ this meeting until a very late
hour. lit. Rev. Ethelbcrt Talbot,
bishop or the Episcopal dloceso of Cen
tral Pennsylvania, presided over the
meeting.
Elaborate preparations are under
way to make this occasion one of sig
nal Impresslvoness. Invitations have
been sent out to many leading clergy
men and laymen of this diocese and
neighboring ones. The Sabbath cele.
bratlon will, of course, consist of re
ligious services nnd will be of a most
Inspiring nature. Ilishop Talbot will,
In all probability, preach the first ser
mon In thu new sanctuary, and will be
assisted by eminent divines.
The following day will ba signalized
by the gathering here of the arch
deaconry. There will be a reception
to Bishop Talbot in tho evening. Bish
op Coleman, of Delaware, will, in all
likelihood, also bo present.
The new organ Is almost completed.
When the new motor that will furnish
the air power was tried on Monday
It was found that It would not bo pow
erful enough, so a new nnd larger one
was telegraphed for yesterday after

not delay the programme for the dedi
cation of tho ihurch.

Will Be Blind.
Michael Toolan, of the West Side,
who has been In Philadelphia consult
ing occullsts In regard to his Impair
ment of vision, hns returned home
with news o a most) grievous nature.
The- specialists have held out no hope
whatever of his recovery, but, on the
contrary, have confirmed the rilngnosls
of Dr. W. W. Fletcher, of this city,
who predicted some time ago thnt he
would eventually lose his sight.
For a number of years Mr. Toolan
has been blind In one eye, nnd tho
other has now become diseased to such
an extent that he can see but a small
part of tho time, usually only In the
morning nfter a night's rest of the
falling eye. Dr. Fletcher's explanation
Is that the cause Is a detachment of
the retina nnd a llqullled condition of
the vitreous. There Is no cure for this
trouble, and no hope can be held out
to the unfortunate young man.

A LAST
Peruna
Never M

MRS. MARY
Mrs. Mary Lawler, of Appleton, Wis., wife of Hon. John J. Lawlcr, pro
prietor "Central House," C53 Lake street, Appleton, Wis., was cured of an
annoying caso of catarrh of the kidneys by Peruna. In a recent lotter to Dr.
Hurtman, she says:
"1 recently caught cold which settled In tho kidneys and caused
we scrlons Incourenlcncc. Nothing 1 did seemed to help me and
the doctor advised a chnngc or climate. As that was out or the
question Tor mo, 1 tried Peruna as a last resort nnd I found It was
a uod-senil to mo. in two days I begun to feel better and In less
than two weeks the kidney trouble was greatly relieved. I usedfonr
bottles and am entirely cured, and If 1 ever feel any lassitude 1 take
1'eruna and always with tho same good results.'' Mary Lawler.
WHENDVDR a cold Is neglected It
Is liable to settle somewhere. Its
most common seat Is In the head,
throat or lungs. It may and frequent
ly does settlo In the kidneys ns In the
case of Mrs. Lawler above narrated.
Whenever u cold settles In the kldneya
It very quickly lead3 to Brlght's dis
ease, a very dangerous, If not incura
ble, condition. Peruna Is sure to cure
a cold wherever It may be located.
This lndy found Peruna as a last re
sort to be the only remedy that had a
particle of benefit. Peruna aved her
from a lifelong struggle with chronic
Brlght's disease, or perhaps a speedy
death.
Judge H. Henry Powers, of Ver
mont, gives Peruna tho highest pos
sible endorsement as he uses it in
his family for climatic diseases of
winter. In a lotter written from
Washington, D. C. to the Teruna
Medicine Co. he says:
"Peruna I have used in my fam
ily with success. I can recommend
it ns an excellent family remedy,
and very good for coughs, colds, and
catarrhnl affections." H. H. Powors.
Judge Powers' home address Is Mor

calling or vocation. No locality Is en
tirely free from Its ravages, no amount
of vitality can withstand its attack.
Neither childhood nor old age Is ex
empt from Its presence, and It does not
respect sex, color or nationality.
Summer and winter, spring and aut
umn, catarrh ceases not to afflict a
large per cent of tho Inhabitants of
this country. But It Is especially dur
ing tho winter season that catarrh does
Its most deadly work. Every cold
wnve. every wintry blizzard, every
storm of sleet, enow or rain adds
thousands to the annual list ot victims
of chronic catarrh.
Mr. W. B. Schnader, of Tcrro Hill,
Pa writes;
"I got sick every winter, and had a
spell of cold In February. 1899. I could
not do anything for almost two
months. In De
cember, 1899, I saw
In one of your
books about your
remedies. Then I
wrote to Dr. Hart
man for advice,
and he wrote back
that I should com
mence to use Pe

take care of my
self. "I did not lose

ter that I could not tend my stock. I
am sixty-three years old, and I cannot
thank you too much for what you have
