From the Liverpool Sun : John Corpman,
a steady and industrious young man of this
place and recently married, met with mis
fortune in Harrisburg last week. He car.
ried in his hip pocket,his wallet, which con
tained $126 In cash and a check for $85,
He wore a short sack coat, and it is suppos
ed that the impression of the book attracted
attention, and a thief relieved him of it by
making a long cut across the bottom or his
pants and sliding the book ont. He first
discovered it upon arriving home. He can
not definitely state where he lost it, bnt be
is under the impression that it was done at
the Pennsylvania depot. It was a great loss

Last Wednesday a yonng man from the

not take his baggage, and that be should
wait on the next section which would be
dne in a few minute. The second section
did come, but instead of stopping ran past
tbe station and continued it. course to the
west, at what seemed to the patiently-waiting
young man, a frightful rate of speed.
This so affected him that he changed his
mind, and started np tbe valley, toward his
old borne, saying, that he didn't want to
go west.
The Altoona Tribune or the ISth inst,
says i Sometime sgo mention was made of
counterfeit silver dollars of the year 1885
being in circulation in Altoona. Another
spurious coin can now be made a mental note
of by our merchants and others. Yesterday a
business house took in two $1 silver pieces
of the year 1884. These counterfeits are
lighter than the genuine coins, but in hand
ling any quantity of silver dollars at one
time, might easily be taken for good mon
ey. A close inspection will reveal that
they have a greasy feeling and tbe letter
ing is not altogether perlect. Keep on a
look-out for them. It would seem that a
detective might find a tine field here to work
in.

Mrs. Kestine subsequently returned to Phil
adelphia and took op her abode with her
uiotber-in-law, but was soon slier sent to
her home in Bedford, where she attempted
to commit suicide by shooting. Failing to
accomplish Ibis, she returoded to Philadel
phia, where she was married again about a
month ago to Albert B. Evans, of Vince
town, N. J., whom she first met io a con
cert saloon in Pbiladelpi. As her first bus-
band, however, is still in tbe land of the
living, the Istter marriage was of course
void and of no legal effect, and taking ad
vantage of ibis her second husband, if hus
band he could be called, suddenly sought
pastures new and after a brief courUhip took
unto himself another wife in the person of
Miss Kate Mack, of Mount Holly, N. J., to

The following is from the North Ameri
can of a recent date : Peter Gerhart, 312
north Sixty and One-half street was before
Magistrate Thompson yesterday charged
with assaulting his wife.
"He's a Democratic politician," said the
wife, "and he's been drunk off and on for
tbe past seventeen years. As hn hadn't giv
en me any money in a long time I asked bim
for some Thursday. Instead of giving me tbe
cah be beat roe dreadfully."
" What have you to say, Peter" asked the
Court.
"Why, she s always at me for money, and
I've given her plenty off and on when I bad
it."
Yes, but bow about you being drunk f"
"Well, I get that way at times. Just like
you or any other man ; but I'm sober often
enough. If Graver Cleveland hadu t gone
back on me I'd be all right now. He's no

Last week one night a man and a boy
made an effort to burglarize Strayer'a cloth
ing store by way ol the back door. One of
them bored a hole with an inch and a quar
ter auger through the upper panel of the
back door. Tbe panel is sn adjustable one
and is lifted off during the day to admit
light through tuo window in the upper part
of the door. Tbe auger passed through the
pannel and struck tbe glass with such force
that a pane was broken into pieces snd fell
with such a jingling noise, that the thieves
fied from the scene of tbe contemplated rob
bery. Tbey tied across a freshly dug piece
of garden in Stray er's yard to the stable and
there climbei the fence between tbe Stray
er aud Pennell lots, into Pennell's yard.
Tbey bad come in that way aa is evidence
by their tracks in the newly dug garden.
The boy was barefooted and left perfect
imprint of bis fet io the soft ground. Tbe
man's imprint looked as if he wore a num
ber six or seven. They left in such baste
that tbey failed to take their tool, with them
The aucer, a brace, and chisel were left at
the door and a hammer that bal done ser
vice to fasten s double-tree to tbe butt end
of a wazon tongue was left at the fence
where tbey climbed into the lot. Tbe tools
had been taken from Haines' wagon shop,
which is proved by the fact that be identi
fied them as his property. Tbe probability
U the boy was in bis bare feet for the pur
pose of moving noiselessly through the
store after an entrance had been made, while
bis older thief companion should stand guard
at tbe door.
An amusing incident in the experience of
Jndge Barnett took place during the time
that be was here at tbe late court. One ev
ening be and the Court Reporter walked in
to an ice cream saloon that is kept by a
radical temperance woman. Tbey were un
known to tbe lady of the house. She serv
ed thorn with nice cream and as they par
took of it she engaged them in conversation
Presently she struck the temperance ques
tion, then she thought of the licenses that
had been aranted. snd of course that
brought the Judge within direct focus of
hr remarks. "And wbst do vou think of
our Judge f " she ssked, addressing the
Judge himself. "Oh, well," said the Judge,
"I presume he did tbo best he could under
the circumstances." She caught on the
word circumstance, and then went off into
tbe deliverance of an opinion from a radical
temperance woman's standpoint, and read
the title clear of tbe license law and the
Pnnrt. The incident added relish to the
Judge's appetite and amused him highly.
The identity of the Judge was not discover

had left her bouse. Imagine her sorpnse

For Felon.
The Profidence Jaurnal recommend, for
felon, as follows : Take common salt roast
ed on a hot ahovel until all the chlorine is
thrown off or it is as dry as you can make it.
To a teaspoonful and also to a teaspoonful
of pulverised castile soap add a teaspoonful
of Venice turpentine mix them well in a
poultice and apply to the felon. It you have
ten felons at once make as many poultices.
Renew this poultice twice a day. In four
or five day. your felon will, if not opened
before your poultice is first put on, present
a bole down to the bone where the pent up
matter was before your poultice brought it
out. If the felon his been cut open or open
ed itself, or is about to take off the finger to
the first joint, no matter, put on your poul
tice i it will stop there and in time your fin
ger will get well even if one or the first
bone, is gone. Of course it will not re
store the lost bone, but it will get well
soon.
BfowlB; aa Iroa Bridge.
The disaster, caased by the washing of ,
the pibrs from under the Duncsnnon rail
road bridge during the January freshet,
had the effect of making the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company very vigilant as to the
safety of its bridges. The iron bridge span
ning Tnscarora creek at Port Koyal, being
considered nnsafe, it was deemed best, by
the proper railroad officials, to build a new
stone bridge in its place, the coming sum
mer, and , accordingly, preparations were
made to move the old bridge from its foun
dation to. temporary trestles to permit of
the bnilding of tbe proposed stone bridge,
snd not interfere with the running of trains
in the meanwhile. The bridge is two hun
dred and sixteen feet in length with
two tracks. Trestles were snnk into the.
bed of the creek above tbe pier, and on the
banks of the stream above the abutments,
until their tops were on a level with the
tops of the pier and abutments. It was in
tended that when all things were ready the
bridge should be moved bodily. On last
Sabbath morning the work of moving the
bridge was begun. It was raised from its
place on the pier and abutments, by hy
draulic jacks, and ra ilroad tracks were pla
ced under it extending over on to the tres
tle work, rollers were then placed on the
iron tracks under the bridge and the struct
ure let down upon them, and with the aid
of crabs it was soon drawn over onto the
trestles, a distance of twenty feet further
np tbe stream, snd entirely clear of its for
mer foundations. Actual time in moving,
thirteen and one half minutes. It was again
raised by jacks and the rollers taken out,
and tbe bridge was moved. One hundred
railroad workmen being present, composed
of carpenters and trackmen, it was easy
and quick work for them to join the tracks
on tbe bridge with the main tracks, and in
two hours and forty minutes from tbe be
ginning of the work it was completed and
ready for trains to pans over. No trains
were delayed. Way Passenger, westward
bound, was first to pass over the old bridge
on its new foundation. Large crowds of
people on tbe overhead bridge and neigh
boring banks were witnesses of the moving,
snd it was a Sunday of such excitement as
Port Royal, never before, passed through.
It was reported through the crowd that alt
those engaged in the work would be arrest
ed for breaking the Sabbath.

Storm Notes.
On the 17th inst , about six o'clock in the
evening, a heavy hailstorm followed by a
tornado passed along tbe valley of the Cone-
niaugh, Pa., cutting down trees and destroy
ing numerous small out-bouse, and barns.
It causad the water in the river to rise the
to height of seventy-five feet, in the form of
an inverted water-spout, which revolved
about a moving centre, traveling across and
np the stream nntil it reached the new Coke-
town bridge, an iron structure, 320 feet
long. The bridge was lilted bodily from the
abutments snd tossed about like a shuttle
cock, finally dropping back to it. place,
badly twisted and damaged to tbe extent of
$5,000. Tbe Pennsylvania railroad ruus
through the Conemaugh valley. Near Cone
maugh station a number of empty freight
cars were standing on a siding The torna
do picked them up aud carried them over to
tbe main track. A heavy westbound freight
train of twenty-five cars, going at the rate
of thirty miles sn hour, came along about
midnight and crashed into the obstruction
before the engineer had time to reverse his
engine. The twenty-five car. were totally
demolished and the wreck strewn along the
tracks a distance of several hundred yards.
Conductor Thomas Connors, Engineer
Thomas Mowray aud Fireman Michael My
era were killed almost instantly. They were
caught in the wreck and terribly mangled
The balance of the crew escaped with slight
injuries. 1 he men Kiuea were ail marriea
and lived in the neighborhood of Deny, ra.
All eastern and western bound trains were
delayed twelve hours. The loss will reach
several thousand dollars.
About S o'clock P. M last Wednesday
evening, there was a race between a rail
road passenger train and a tornado, on the
road leading into Odolt, Illinois. The storm
came in behind the train and gained en the
cars so fast, that, both the train and storm
reached Odell at the same time. A passen
ger says: Just aa the engine pulled into
Odell, the storm struck the town, snd the
air was full of debris. First tbey saw the
roof of sn elevator rise and sail off into the
air and the bnilding collapse. Then the ho
tel snd bouses raised np and tumbled over
and over like feathers and were shattered
to pieces both brick and frame and all sizes,
from shanties to two-story buildings. Tbe
train was stopped, but as the wind was
blowing parallel with it it was not npset,
thongh bricks and sticks broke the windows
Considerable time was required to remove
the debris from the track before the train pro
ceeded. After the cyclone passed the people
bnsied themselves looking nnder the ruins
of houses for those missing. Tbe train re
sumed its journey without giving the pas
sengers a chance to learn tbe casnalities ;
but it is reported tbst several men, women
and children were killed and injured.
The Huntingdon Journal of May 14, says.
Between seven and eight o'clock on Mon
day evening this section was visited by a
violent rain and hail storm, which did much
damage to the fruit snd crops in the neigh
borhood. In this city, outside of tbe break
ing of a few window panes, the injury was
slight, bnt in portions of Juniata township,
notably on tbe farm of our friend Henry
Mark, the havoc of the storm waa terrible.
A gentleman who visited that section on
Tuesday informed us that Mr. Mark', fruit
tree, were almost entirely denuded or their
leave., while his wheat and grass fields pre
sented the appearance or ground that had
been gone over with a heavy roller. Hail
stones fell as large as hens' eggs, and at ten
o'clock the next day following the storm the
ground was covered with hail ; two of tbe
stone wh ich the gentleman picked np and
carried to this city snd handed to ns about
half-past eleven o'clock were as larre as
hnKed walnuts. The storm was confined to
a narrow strip, but as far ss it extended it
left ruin in its wake.
Tn Smithfield township, the residence of
John Mi'Cahan looked as if it had been bom
barded with stones, the windows facing the
storm being shattered and broken. We bave
not heard from other parts of the connty,
but that portion in the wake of the storm
has no doubt suffered considerably.

Not last night, boss, snd besides Hughs
