WALSH, ATTOnNET-AT-I^W. DUSnORE. - - PA. Office in Bank Building, 2d floor. A clever foreigner circulated conn terfeit fivo dollar bills among the I business men of Williamsport, Tues day.

Eased His Conscience. At a prayer meeting at South Pasadena, Cal., Charles Crawford arose under deep excitement and stated he could not keep his secret any longer. lie then announc ed he was Albert Deffendorfer, son of a wealthy merchant of Hunting don, Penna., and a fugitive from justice under sentence for burglary and larceny in Pennsylvania. lie went to Los Angeles Tuesday and gave himself up to the Sheriff. A Cliild Born Alive Willi Three Heads. An unusual freak of nature was born at Beechtree recently, says the Dußois JiJcpress. The details are authentic but the parents' names are omitted for obvious reasons. When born the child, a male, had three heads, two growing out of each side of the central one, immediately be hind the ears. The central head was nearly perfect, except that it was flattened slightly on the top, but the two heads growing out of either side, while small, wero almost perfectly developed. The child lived a few days. The parents were offered a considerable sum to allow the doctors to have possession of it but they refused, and it was buried in the Catholic cemetery. A man by the name of Harry Faux, who said bo was from Waverly N. Y., drove into town Sunday even ing aud put up nt the Commercial Hotel. lie Haiti that he was robbed while on his way to Laporte and near tlio Iling watering trough, ili i story was to the effect that lie met two men while coming up the King hill and that one of the men request ed of him a mat«h. While ho was reaching in his vest pocket in com pliance with the request one of the men took his horse bv the reins and the other drew a revolver from his pocket and demanded his money. Faux says they took S4O in cash from him and a silver watch. This man Faux claims to be a horse jocky of Waverly and was on his way to Hughesville to purchase a fast horse. Our people dou't believe a word of his robbery story. The fact of the matter is, he did not have acenttopay his hotel bill and he worked this "gag" on the landlord for sympathy and it worked all right. If the story of Faux is made of whole cloth, and wo have no reason to doubt it, because he refused to issue a warrant /or the arrest of the rob bers, saying that he was a sportsman and had often lost 2 and 3 hundred dollars on horse racing and did not feel the loss of §4O; a term in the Penitentiary would be too good for him. An Important Decision. One of the most important find* ings of jurisprudence affecting the safety and protection of every toiling miner and colliery cmploj'es was handed down in a decision by Chief Justics Williams, of the Pennsyl vania supreme court several days ago. Thomas Durkin had brought suit in the Luzerne county court against the Kingston Coal company and its mine foreman, William Jones and its assistant superintendent, Morgan Rosser, for damages sustain ed through the death of his son, a boy 19 years of age,and who was em ployed as a driver, and who was killed June 15, 1891, by a cave-iu of the mines The evidence for the plaintilf tend ed to show that William Jones, the mine foreman, employed under the mining law of June 2, 1801, had neglected to make an examination of the locality where the accident occurred, as required by the mining act. The Luzerne court giivo juiig»- mont for the plaintiff of 8727.58 against the Kingston Coal company and William Jones, but au appeal was taken to tho supreme court which exonerated the coal company from all damage and liability ami held that the mine foreman alone was responsible. The decision will i have much bearing upon all future OMOS of like character. j TUe Rrpubilma W*«4 f.lke to Kuww Why F. M. Crossley is delicate nbont taking off his hat.
