LETTER FROM MRS. WHITE.
Sho Is at Piesent Residing in York,
Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Thomas Hauls has received a
letter from her daughter, Mrs, Arthur
White, announcing that the latter Is
icsldlng In Yotk, Pa., and Is well and
happy. Mis White and her husband
disappeared from Nicholson, where they
lived togethei, about three weeks ago,
and tho condition of the fuinltuie In
their house, nnd other circumstances,
led the nelghbois to think there hnd
been a serious struggle befoie tho de
parture of the couple, whose wedded
life, it Is said, was not of undlstuibed
bliss.
Muider conjectuies, based on what
leemcd to be plausible facts, were In
the air, and the matter was surrounded
by mjstery until tho ai rival of the let
ter. This does not cntltely do awny
with the bewildering phases of the mat
ter, however, as It gives no account of
the whereabouts of the husband.

Strong Probability That tho Propos
ed Athletic Park and Race Track
Will Bocomo a Roallty.
City Assessor Philip lilnsland, who
Is the principal promotet of the scheme
to convert Athletic park and several
acres of adjoining property Into an
athletic grounds and tacc track, said
yestetday afternoon that of the $32,000
inquired to purchase the land $J5,000
Is already sub) crlbed, with a vety
blight prospect of securing the remain
ing $5,000 dining the pteseni week.
Di. John L. Went,!, one of the city s
best known horsemen, has been out of
town during the p.ist few weeks, but
lc expected homo this week, and Mr.
lilnsland has sttong hopes of i-ecuilng
the remaining $5,000 fiom him
So conlldent Is ho that Mifllclent
money for the purchase of the land
will lj forthcoming that the wutk of
scjutmr subset Iptlons to the capital
stock of the association which Is to
leasee and operate tho grounds Is to be
rc'Bttn today. Mi. lilnsland, James
Mears and II. S. (loiman ate to take
up the task of securing HUb"ciiptlons.
It i proposed to make the capital
stock of the association at oltlur $15,
O'ii) oi $J0,OuO and to use this amount
In pulling the giounds In shape The
ini'iiiiiuiii subscription to bo allowed
will be $.'50. Mt. ItlnMuml said jes
teiday that thcie ate half a hundred
men In Hi city who havo given him
their a&stiiiiiice that they will put In
amounts vaiylng fiom $J"0 to $J,000.
He has nil offer trom a bill posting
linn wlilcn will agiee to ctect a high
and substantial fence mound the
g. minds lor the bill posting pi l lieges
theuon and a number of inteiested
hoiycmen have agieed to fujnish
hotses and men for the laying out of
the Hack, so thit taken all In all tho
prospects of tho llnal consummation
ot his plan seems extremely blight
It was said jesteiday that If by any
chance a sulllclent sum of money for
tho purchase of the giound could not
be secured that the association would
In all probability make an effoit to
!eiuio a lease of the giound from tho
Delawaie, Lackawanna and Western
companj'.
Mr. I'tiusland has been assured by
several of the directors of the Y. M.'C.
A. that his scheme has their hearty
support, as the necessltj" for an ath
letic grounds when the association
takes possession of Its magnificent new
building will be very great.

HE IS TO BE
PROSECUTED
GREEN RIDOE PEOPLE ASK DIS
TRIOT ATTORNEY TO ACT.
Oharlos Slvelly, tho Old Man, Who
Poisoned So Many Dogs During tho
Last Six Months Failed to Koop
His Part of tho Agreement and
Loavo tho City and the Men Who
Havo Lost Dogs Havo Decided to
Movo Against HimMannor In
Which He Was Caught.
The Green Ridge dog poisoner Is to
bo given over to tho ollUers of the law
for punishment. He failed to live up
to his part of the agreement with the
men w hose dogs he caused to shuffle
oft and they will ask the district at
torney to Indict him.
It was largely thiough the efforts of
Deputy Constable T. S Huitllng, of the
Thirteenth ward, nnd C. P. Jones that
ho was nppicliended. He Is an old
man, Charles Slvelly by name, nnd he
gives every evldcnco of being a mano
nnnlac. About six months ago several valu
able dogs In Green Rldgo were poisoned
nnd died In great agony. From that
tlmo on there wero at least half a
dozen dogs poisoned every week nnd
on one particular morning theie were
no less than seven dlffeicnt animals
found dend
The sjmptoms displayed by the ani
mals who were seen djlng were those
of strj'chnlne poisoning nnd scraps of
poisoned meat were found In many
Instances near the dead dogs. As
might bo supposed, the citizens of
Oreen nidge, whether dog owneis or
not, became very much enraged and
evciy effort was made to locate the
poisoner, but they weie unsuccessful,
nnd nenrlj' every day came the an
nouncement that another dog had been
killed
Diugglst C P Jones, who lost two
especially valuable dogs, which had
been household pets for some time, hap
pened to be In Matthews' ding store
about six weeks ago and noticed an old
man. who was endeavoring to purchase
some slrjchnine to "poison some old
cats," as he told the cleik. Matthews
Bios, had heaid of the Oreen Ridge
dng poisoning, and hnd Instructed their
clerks not to sell nnjp of tho polnon.
TRACKED TO HIS HOME
The old man was accordingly icfused,
nnd Mr. Jones followed him out and
down the street until he saw him take
a Oreen Ridge People's car. He at once
decided that he had located his inin,
and by a little private detective work,
upon his aulval home, he learned that
his name was Charles Slvelly and that
he lived at the corner of Breaker street
and Dickson avenue.
Mr Jones consulted with several of
the citizens who had had dogs poisoned,
and It was decided to call a meeting
This was attended liv several of the
leading citizens. Including Select Coun
cilman E. ( Menlmnn. C H. Pond, A.
O. Thomason. James D. Mason. T. J.
Snow don. J. A. Mat vine, and a number
of otheis.
It was unanimously decided to secure
the services of a detective to piocure
evidence agalnt Slvelly, and Deputj
Constable Huflllug, who has done much
work for the MunUlpil league, wan en
gaged. Mr. Hufllltig did some excellent
work, as after events prove
He got Intioduced to Slvell1, nnd by
spending nil his spare time aiound the
lattei's house, soon got him talking.
The oh) man told him that be hnd a
most anient haticd of all kinds of anl
mnls, but more paiticulaily of dogs,
wheieupon Unfiling- pietendcd that ho,
too, didn t like dogs and would like to
take a hand nt killing a few of them
off
Slvelly told him that strjchnlne was
the best kind of poison to ue, but said
that he had gieat difficulty In securing
any Huining volunteered to grt 6ome,
and easily procured it at one of the
Oicen Ridge ding stores. Slvelly was
much elated when the poison was shown
him, and got a quantity of meat, which
he cut Into small pieces.
PUT POISON IN THE .MEAT.
Assisted by Huflllng, ho cut a silt In
each pleco and placed some of the
poison In It, tlelng the whole together
with a piece of rod stilng. Huflllng
wanted to go out with him that night,
but the old man wouldn't have It, evi
dently deslrng to test him. Huflllng ac
coidlngly took some of the poisoned
meat, and next day got an Item In
serted In some of the pipers to tho ef
fect that thtee dogs had been poisoned
on Larch street.
He showed the paper to Slvellj', tell
ing him that that was tho result of his
night's work Slvelly appealed to be
very much pleased and arianged to go
out with Huffing that night. More
meat was piocured and poisoned and
the two stnitcd out about midnight
and visited sovetal places on East
Market street where dogs weio kept.
Where there wero kennells Slvelly
threw tho poisoned meat Into them,
Jiut If the dog was not to be seen he
scntttered It about the jnrd Tho next
morning three of the dogs died and
Huflllng secured the stomachs of two
of them These wete taken to a com
petent chemist who analjzed the con
tents nnd announced that tho animals
had died fiom stijchnlne poisoning.
This constituted a perfect case
against Slvelly, hut when he was np
pioached by several citizens he denied
having done any poisoning The next
night he was confronted by HuiTlIng,
who told him that he was a detective.
It Is said that the old man weakened
at this nnd confessed to having pois
oned tho dogs.
TEN DAYS TO LEAVE TOWN
A meeting was held and a conference
was had with Slvelly's i datives who
were told that If they got tho old man
out of tho city and paid the costs no
prosecution would bo Instituted This
they agreed to do, It Is said, and they
were given ten dajs In which to do It,
The ten days expired over a week ago
and as theie was no sign of a settle
ment another meeting was hold on
Monday night.
It was thon decided to wait no long,
er. but to lny tho facts before tho dis
trict attorney at once and request that
he act Immediately. This haB been

be arrested somo day this week.
There have been no dogs poisoned in
Green Rldgo since Slvelly confessed,
but there were two poisoned In Dun
more, Just across the city lino the oth
et nlsht.
Slvelly told Hufillnfe' that ho had t ols
cued (cotes of dogs nnd told h'm of
another method which he sometime
adopts to kill these animals, which for
fiendish cruelty rivals anything ever
chronicled.
Ho said that ho sometimes fried
sponges In boiling fat until they looked
and tasted like meat. These he fed to
doge who nto them greedily. Tho
sponges were, of course, Indigestible,
nnd when they reached the dog's Intes
tines swelled up, distending the folds
of the Intestines to almost double their
normal slzo nnd causing the animal's
excruciating torture before finally kill
ing them.

made a surprising discovery yesterdnj'.
While one of tho joung men was
handling a bunch of bannnas he sud
denly felt a sharp pain nnd looking
down saw what looked like a smnll
ciab clinging tenaciously to his fingers.
With difficulty he mannged to pry
the small intruder from lila digits, and
the crab, for such It Is supposed to be,
wns then Incarceiated In a glass Jar
and put on exhibition. It Is about tho
size of the ordinary crab, has a hard
henvy back, strangely spotted, and red
legs and claws. Two small black ejes
which look like small shoe buttons give
a sinister look to the creature, which Is
presumably a member of the .rab fam
ilj', although of an entirely different
species than those seen locally.

lVTi-wt-f I Real estate has
1Y1U1 L" always been the
most steady and
certain investment
to be had, but it
has been shunned
gages
by many because they were so
hampered in dealing with it. Many
mortgagees, when they have at
tempted to collect their loans, have
found out that their security was
worthless because of prior liens or
defective title. A Title company in
issuing its policy to the mortgagee
assumes all risks. If there has been
any mistakes, the loss does not fall
on the mortgagee.
