Phillip Hackett, an All-Round
Crook Said to Have Eluded
His Keeper Here This Morning
Just before noon today Chief
Walsh received a message from E.
E. Olcott, president of the Hudson
River Day Lige, asking for infor-
mation concerning Phillip Hackett,
eighteen years old, who is alleged
to have escaped from the custody
of Eugene McGee, a trusty man,
while passing through Sayre this
morning on Lehigh Valley passen-
ger train No. 5.
Just what the official of the Hud-
son River Steamer line wants of
Hackett is not made plain in the
message He says, however, that
he is thoroughly bad, being a thief,
a confidence man, and an all round
crook. The chief made a diligent
search for the man but has as yet
failed to locate him.

HED HIS HEAR
But After Bestowing His Charity
He Discerned That He Had
Been the Victim of a Flim-
Flam Artist
Like all other places Sayre has
its citizens who are charitably ia
clined and are ready and willing to
assist those in distress. There is,
however, one man in this place at
the present time who will in the
fature be careful how he bestows
his charity indiscriminately without
first having made an investigation,
On Saturday last this man, whe
holds an official position under the
U. S. government, was approached
by a woman who told him a tile of
woe calculated to make the angels
weep in sheer pity. She said that
her husband was out of work and
that the larder was empty and she
and ber little one were on the verge
of starvation. The kind hearted
official plunged his hand into the
innermost recesses of his trousers’
pockets and drew therefrom two
dollars, which he handed to the
woman, and at the same time told
her that he would secure a situs
ation for her husband. The woms
an took the money and departed.
She stopped at a cake sale on her
way home, purchased a quantity of
the sweets, and then visited a
candy store, whére she invested in
more sweets. Monday -morning
she was notified that her husband
could secure work at the Lehigh
Valley shops. She went to the
man who had given her aid and
told him that her husband had that
morning started to walk to Owego,
his mother having died at that
place, and that he would therefore
be unable to go to work. Another
tale of an empty larder and the
wolf trying to get in the front door
Hollowed this statement, and again
the band of the kind hearted phi-
lanthropist sought his jeans. Ans
other two dollar “William” was
forthcoming and also an order on
a well known groceryman for two
dollars” worth of groceries. Then
the philanthropist got wise. He
was informed that he had been con.
tributing toward the support of a
man who never worked He
learned that instead of the man
going to Owego to bury his dead
mother he had been loafing around
home eating cake and candy and
assisting in disposing of the gro-
ceries secured on the order given
by the philanthropist. Now this
particular philanthropist has had
his sentiments concerning charity
rudely shattered and he declares
that the next party who comes to
him for aid will be turned down
with a cold, sickening thud that
can be heard for miles around. ]
In the meantime it has developed
that the man and woman are both
flim-lammers. The man will not
work, but his wife works—that is,
she works kind hearted people.

13 SECTION
——
Country Is in the Grasp of the
Worst Storm That Has Occur-
red in Years
The most severe storm of the
season has been raging throughout
Pennsylvania for the past twenty-
four hours. In this section the
storm reached the proportions of a
blizzard, but today it has showed
signs of abatement, although the
weather bureau has predicted snow
for the interior today and tomor-
row. In several places south of
Sayre Mgh winds have piled the
snow in drifts, and trolley and rail-
Way service has been badly im.
peded. Qn the level there is near-
ly 12 inches of snow. It is the
worst March blizzard since 1888
and on account of so much snow
having fallen at this late period in
the season fears of a big flood are
already being entertained by those
who live along the banks of the
Susquehanna river,
So far the storm has not serious
ly interfered with traffic on the Le-
high Valley. The passenger trains
last night and today have been run-
ning a few minutes behind schedule
time, but so long as the snow does
not drift there will be no difficulty
in operating the road.
The local trolley company ex
perienced slight difficulty yesterday
but succeeded in keeping the road
open and the cars were for the most
part run on schedule time.
This forenoon a small army of
snow shovelers were out bright
and early. At the Lehigh station
a half hundred men were employed
in clearing away the snow from the
yards and in front of the depot.

MURDER Ct
Witnesses Examined Yesterday
on Motion for a Change of
"Veaue
The matter of the change of
venue in the case of Charles John.
son who is to be tried a second
time for the murder of Mrs, Maggie
Johnson and Annie, Benjamin, was
taken up before Judge Fanning
yesterday. Johnson alleges that he
is unable to get a fair trial in this
county and the court has granted a
rule on the commonwealth to show
cause why the case should not be
taken to another county. A num-
ber of witnesses were examined as
to the prejudice that is alleged to
exist against the defendant and as
to their opinion whether or not the
accused could get a fair trial in this
county. Scarcely half a dozen per
sons were in court to hear the mat-
ter. Johnson was brought from
his cell to the court room and was
a quiet, though apparently unin-
terested spectator of the entire pro
ceedings. He is much thianer and
paler than when placed on trial a
year ago.
It is the opinion of those who
heard the evidence presented yes-
terday that the change of venue
will not be granted unless the de.
fendant presents something un-
looked for,
The case is proceeding at To-
wanda today.

LEHIGH OFFICIALS DO
NOT FEAR STRIE
Orders Have Been Issued Engine
Crews to Take Coal from Stot-

According to an order issued by
the officials of the Lehigh Valley
company which went into eflect

miners and the operators began

pose of having a supply on hand
in the event of the miners going
out. Yesterday, however, engine
crews were instructed to begin
drawing on this supply, which
would indicate that the officials of
the company have no longer any
fears of a strike; or at any rate
they are of the opinion that the
difficulty is nearer settlement than
it has been at any time during the

“THE VILLAGE Foo”
People go to the theatre to be
amused and a play that does both
for its patrons is deserving of the
highest praise, and such a play is
promised in the rural comedy
drama, “The Village Fool,” that
will be seen at the Loomis Opera
House on Tuesday night, March
20. The scenes of the play are
laid in Illinois, and the characters
portrayed are everyday people met
mn every day life. While comedy
predominates the action of the play
is strong and stirring, and a pure
clean, delightful story of heart in-
can do innately. “Under Southern |
Skies" tells of life in lower Louis
jana in the period around 1875
and necessarily brings in the quaint

tarly attractive and interesting. If
