..awina.—Held up by a highway-
man, robbed, shot four times with his:
own revolver and them rolled down a
steep embankment, was the experience
of Giuseppe Dippolito, aged 36, here,
who is employed as a. track watchman: |
on the Pennsylvania railroad. The
track watchman was on duty when
he was stopped by a highwayman. The
holdup man knocked Ilippolito down
with a stone, took his revolver from
him and shot him twice in the left
arm amd twice in the left leg. The
assailant of the watchman then took
the latter’s watch and $5. Picking up
the: wounded watchman, the holdup
man carried him to a steep embank-
ment nearby and rolled him into a
ravine. Dippolito was found by John
Hicks and Paul Jacks and was brought
to the Altoona hospital. In addition
to being shot the watcfimran was badly
bruised from being ruviled down the
embamkment. His condition is ser-
fous.
Harrisburg.—Charges that whisky
was taken into the juryroom and con-
sumed by the 12 of the county's good
men and true who deliberated upon
the question of the guilt of Martin
Fleming, convicted of murdering his
mother-in-law, will Ive ore of the chief’
reasons urged by the defense in ap-
pealing to the board of pardons for a
commutation of the death sentence.
Fleming was convicted after a trial
lasting several days and has been sen-
tenced to be hanged Sept. 24. Appli-
cation for a new trial has been refused
and in asking for another chance be-
fore a jury the defense did not men-
-| tion the fact that liquor sufficient te
intoxicate the jurors had been taken
into the room. This was reserved for
the pardon board.
Lancaster.—Alderman Doebler im-
posed a fine of $50 on Dr. E. E. Evans

Greenshurg.—Dr. Martin Griffith of
Monessen, Pa., who was convicted on
a charge of voluntary manslaughter in
connection with the death of William
L. Robinson, was sentenced to six
months in the Allegheny county work-
house. Sentence was imposed by
Judge L. W. Doty in criminal court,
who presided at the physician’s trial
some months ago. Attorney Adam
Wyant, who represented Dr. Griffith,
presented a petition to the court ask-
ing that the physician be paroled, but
Judge Doty refused to grant the pe-
tition, which contained the names of
several hundred prominent persons,
including several ministers. Dr. Grif-
fith returned home from Europe only
‘a few days ago, and while there had
a degree conferred upon him for dis-
tinction in surgery by the Royal Col-
lege of Physicians and Surgeons,
which met in London. He was to
have gone to St. Petersburg, Russia,
to receive another degree, but was
unable to reach there on account of
the war. In refusing the petition for
parole, Judge Doty said that Dr. Grif-
fith was “guilty of a heinous crime,”
and as he had received a fair and im-
partial trial, he should not go unpun-
ished. Dr. Griffith was convicted here
last May on a charge of voluntary
manslaughter, in connection with the
death of Prof. Robinson. The attack
took place at Dr. Griffith’s home in
Monessen, and at the time of the trial
it was alleged that the dead music
teacher attempted to attack the wife
of Dr. Grifith when Griffith went to
her assistance. Robinson died as a
result of the injuries inflicted by Grif-
fith, it is said.

IN NEW YORK.
Moyen Age Dresses,—Redin-

McCall Designs
New York, September. 3.
Toomer it is only about three
months since the basque made its ap-
pearance in‘ Paris, it is firmly estab:
lished in fashionable favor here and |
ii) is offfiered in number of variatioms |
of the original type. All show a de-
cidedly straight line front and baek,
with seams gathered at either side of |
the: panels, usually placed at these
points. Set in sleeves are used with
this type of waist, but more often |
tham not are attached to the lining,
or giye that effect. The liking mani
fested during the summer for sleeves’
of thin materials diffesing from the |
texture of the bodice, persists in fall |
models, though light weight satim|
replace the chiffon amd net sleewe|
worn with such excellent effect dwx-
ing our het weather.
SUIT BLOUSES. 8
Basques of satin to match the color |
of the suit are the mest novel waisbs |
offered this season. These are offen
fimished with a girdle or sash of the |
satin whieh encircles the hips in the
Moyen Age styles, so well endorsed |
in its new revival. :
Buttons in ball form covered with |
satin are very muck used both for |
the closing of these extra waists and |
as trimmings on the skirt and eoat.
Blouses of colored net or chiffon
made over white net are shown in
many attractive styles and some of
the best of these have trimmings of
satin and with satin girdles, that
bring them in line with the popular
basque effects, and suit them to the
present fad for wearing the extra
waist or blouse over the skirt, not
under the belt, as formerly.
DRESSING SACQUE TYPES.
Some of the most extreme styles
in extra tops, haye a decided sug-
gestion of the “‘Dressing Sacqe’’ gar-
ments, with their loose overhang-
ing fronts, but always there is a
touch introduced that differentiates
them from the negligee.
Faille taffeta silks make some of
built on basque lines, with the typi-
cal gathered seams, ended in a softly
draped overhang at the waist in front.
This was embroidered with delicate
sprays done in\black silk and steel
beads. The neck finished with a half
collar of organdie wired into upstand-
ing trimness.
MOYEN AGE DRESSES.
With the revival of fltted waists,
and the introduction of the Moyen
Age styles was inevitable. But like
all others these came back modified
to suit present requirements. The
narrow foot line now so universal,
make all the difference between
clumsiness and grace. While this
type of dress looks best on the slen-
der young woman, it is successfully
adapted to suit nearly all but the
very broad figure.
IMPORTANCE OF FIGURE-BUILD-
ING.
Smart planners select exactly the
right corset model before haying
Fall suits and gowns fitted, realiz-
ing that this is the only way to be
sure of securing stylish, up-to-date
lines.
Fall styles in corsets are most sen-
sible—medium bust, medium skirts,
with straight lines at front and back
and the faint suspicion of a curve at
the waist. The new Warner rust
proof models embodying just these
points are launched and can be seen
at all departments, where they are
guaranteed not to rust, break or tear.
This probably accounts for their eyer
increasing popularity with discrimi-
nating buyers, who demand not only
style but dnrability when they shop.

SATIN AND SERGE.
Costumes of serge with combina-
tions of satin are leading favorites for
Fall wear, with the type of weave
known as Gaberdine well to the fore.
This is so fine in texture that it is
suceessfully pleated in long tunies,
or the pleated skirt hung from a hip
yoke which appears trim and narrow,
yet allows perfeet freedom for even
the longest stride.
An inverted pleat at the foot of
pearly all the new skirts, placed at
the centre baek, is similarly condu
cive of comfort in walking while pre-
serving the mparrow line.
REDINGOTE SUITS AND COATS.
The Redingote cut prevails largely
both for top eoats amd for suits and
so many variations are rung on this
long full skirted eoat, that almeost
anyone can find a becoming
style in this mode. One advan-
tage of a suit built with a long
coat of this sort, is that the coat ean
be stylishly worn with other than its
matching skirt, for contrasting effects
continue to be in excellent vogue.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional reme-
dies. Deafness is caused by an infiam-
ed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when
it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be takem out and this tube re-
stored to its mormal condition, hear-
ing will ber destroyed forever; mine
cases out of ten are caused by Oa-
tarrh, whieh is nothing bat an in-
flamed condition of thé mucous sur-
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
