Mrs. Cook was frightened and tri=d to have her go away but she said she had a right there and she was determined to stay. Chief Mulligan was summoned and went and took her and casi her into a cell in the borough lockup. Just as they arrived at the city hall her father drove in town and told Chief Mulligan that he wanted to take her home. Mulligan was consid- erably wrought up and told Mr. Lee i FEBRUARY. 26, 1906.

A law which is misunderstood and which is causing our counly commis- sioners considerable embarassment is the acl of assembly authorizing each couny to bury and lo provide a head- stone for any honorably discharged soldier.. sailor or marine who served in the army or navy during the late rebellion or any preceding war, and who shall thereafter die In that county leaving insufficient means to in each county the act requires that in every township and ward sull- able persons be appointed to jook after and bury the deceased soldiers, sailors or marines who are entitled to the benefit of the above act. Be- fore assuming charge and expense of burial. section second, provides that the men appointed must first satisfy themselves by careful Inquiry Iolo an examination of all the circum- stances in the case whether the de- ceased soldier, sailor or marine they are called upon to bury served in the army or navy and was honor ably discharged and died in their township or ward leaving Insufficient means to defray necessary burial ex- penses. if they are satisfied that such facts exist they shal take charge of the body and cause it to be buried and thereupon they shall immediately re- port their action in the case to the counly commissioners, setting forth the facts ascertained by them, to- zether with the name, rank, com- mand to which such deceased sol- dler. sailor or marine belonged, the date of discharge, etc, which report shall be duly attested by three repu- table persons residing in the same township or ward with the deceased soldier, sallor or marine knowing the fact that the latter died without suffi- client means to defray necessary bur- fal expenses The above provisions, our county comnmissioners think, when known ought to make it clear, not only that veterans of the war must die wholly without means before they can be buried at the expense of the county, but also that whatever is done in the premises must be done promptly, as soon as death occurs, if the pro- visions of the law are to live up to The county commissioners are much perplexed by applications that come in to the office months after the death and burial of the veteran has occurred Persons who are unac- quainted with the provisions of the act seem lo think that by establishing certain facts at any time subsequent to death money will be “paid by the county for burying deceased soldiers, sallora or marines This is a mistake, as those who apply soon learn. The death rate is rapidly increasing among the veter- ans and it is only just that all should know what the law provides as to their burial and what procedure must be employed FROLLEY ROADS ARE LINING UP.

Weaver, aged iG years, is dead, and Solomon Suy- der, aged 31, is In jail and will be charged with Weaver's murder. The latter died at the hospital after being shot by Snyder at the latter's home just north of North York borough. Snyder, who gave himself up to Vo- liceman William Schenborge:r, tells several stories of the occurrence, oue which is that he caught his wife in Weaver's company. Investigation however, developed thal Miss Thiell, aged 16, and boarding with Snyder, her uncle, was in Weaver's company at the Snyder home, and that Mrs Snyder was in bed, ill with toothache. Snyder went home unexpected and geting a revolver from under his wife's pillow caused her and Miss Thiell and Weaver (0 run out of the house.

Pittsburg—William Smith of Bos- ton, who has been working as a tcket seller at the Grand Opera House for several weeks, is under arrest charg- ed with handing $1856 to Abraham Ross and James Hopkikns, of New York, his accomplices, and then cry- ing that he had been robbed by three armed and masked negroes, who covered him with their weapons and forced him to hand over the money.

She does not have one to pay her dressmaker, her hatter, her shoeman, and the rest; but she may have half a score for less serviceable uses—half a score who send her books, flowers, tickets, who walk, play golf, drive, skeate, talk with her.
