AN ATTEMPT TO MURDER
Continued from First Page.
stealing affecting Mr. Taylor, called up
on him on Wednesday night and re
quested him to assist in putting laylor
out of the way. Moser avers he refused
to have anything to do with the mur
der, but that the man returned again on
Thursday evening armed with a butcher
knife and threatened to kill him, if he
did not assist him in the plot. Afraid
to refu-c, he says, he lent the man his
revolver and accompanied him 011 the
murderous mission. Each man rode a
horse, furnished by Moser from Mr. Bill
meyer's stable. They went together as
far as Billmeyer's dam, where Moser re
mained while the man who was to do
the shooting rode to the Taylor home
going around by Limestoneville and the
old Chillisquaquc church so as not to
be seen in Mexico.
Moser's confession is wholly discredit
ed by Mr. Taylor who knows well both
Moser and the man he accuses of com
plicity. The latter, he said, was a
damaging witness against Moser at the
hearing before 'Squire Auten Friday. Mr
Taylor inclines to the view that Moser
himself tired the shot and was the only
one implicated. Information, he says,
will be lodged charging him with the
shooting.
Stephen Moser is a young man, marri
ed, who works for Alex Billmeyer and
occupies one of the latter's tenant houses.
The above facts were obtained of Mr.
Taylor himself in the presence of Sheritl
Breckbill and W. B. Startzel, who was
present when the confession was made.
AT WORK ON THE WELLS.
The work of drilling for the artesian
wells at the Reading Iron Works has al
ready been begun. The spot selected as
desirable for one of the two wells to be
sunk lies between the mill and the can
al. Here the drilling machine was plac
ed in position yesterday and a start
made, but up to last evening the bed of
rock had not been reached.
It is by no means certain that water
will be obtained at this point, or that
drilling will proceed very far. The ex
perienced eye of the driller as the work
advances will soon ascertain whether the
indications are favorable or otherwise.
Merely striking water at this point will
not he sufficient.but a subterranean bas
in must be reached which will produce a
genuine "spouter." Nothing short of
such a well would yield a supply of wat
er sufficient.
A depth of five or seven hundred feet
is not an extreme one for artesian wells.
A very famous well at I'aris is 1,800 feet
deep and yields 650 gallons of water per
minute, the water being warm owing to
the great depth. It is not likely, how
ever, that the wells contemplated at the
Reading Iron Works will be sunk to a
greater depth than four or five hundred
feet.
Several practical miners here who are
familiar with the lay and structure of
the earth in this section are of the opin
ion that an immense basin underlies
this locality which will yield sufficient
pressure to produce one of the most fa
mous artesian wells in the world. It will
be interesting to watch indications as
the work progresses to see how far these
theories may be verified.
Oulhane, CJliace & Weston's Minstrels.
The above famous organization of °.O
(all white) performers, will make their

MISSIONARY CONVENTION '
(Continued from First I'age )
I'his was followed by an open conference
lof missionary workers: Report cards,
; Mr- ('. Mendenhall; treasurer's re
' port, Mrs. ,1. Keenan: contingent fund,
1 Mrs. II C. I human The committees
then made their reports, after which
there was consecration services led by
Mrs. K. 11 hickie.
An odd-looking individual of the
cenus hobo with a record that gives him
the rank of a veteran strolled into town
on Monday. He wore an old cast-oil
suit of uncertain color, soiled and rent
in every part, lie had 110 use for sus
penders; a thick rope tightly drawn
around his waist and tied in an awk
ward knot did service as a belt. His
shoes, one of which was much l«>0 large,
looked as though they had just formed
acquaintance, resembling each other in
nothing except that they were both run
down at the heels. His hat was in keep
ing with the rest of his costume.
The man was some sixty years of age.
His face,which might have been improv
ed by washing, had a heavy stolid ap
pearance, reflecting a soul dead to all
the nobler emotions of our nature. Offic
er Voris found the man basking in the
sun on East Market street and took him
before Justice-of-the-Peace Bare, where
he was asked to give some account of
himself.
He said his name was Michael Maloy.
He wasn't quite sure where he had come
from or where he was going. He was
simply moving. He came to this couu
try, he said, when James Buchanan was
President. The Justice asked him where
he had last resided. The old man thought
long and deeply and than remarked that
so far as he could recollect, he never had
a residence. It then developed that dur
ing the forty-five years that he had been
in this country he had been steadily 011
the go; that he had never voted and had
110 desire to; that he had never paid any
tax except on one occasion when he
worked on a railroad and a certain
amount of poor tax was deducted from
his wages.
The Justice asked him if he had ever
been in jail. He unhesitatingly answer
ed "no." "Not even in the lock-up ?"
the 'Squire added. The old man thought
a moment anil then admitted that he
had probably been in the lock-up. "One
is apt to get there for drinkin'," he ex
plained.
The old man was permitted to move
on and by this time is probably basking
in the hospitality of some of our neigh
qoring towns.
Team of Horses' Mad Plunge.
A gentleman from Strawberry Kidge,
w ho drove into this city Saturday morn
ing, described a frightful runaway on
one of the farms owned by Edward Boy
er. Upon emerging from Benfiekl's hol
low a man was observed rolling one
of the fields 011 the hillside to the right
within full view from the road. As will
be recalled by those who have driven
that way the great slope of land there,
taking in one or more farms, is very
steep, the angle at places being one of
nearly 45 degrees and inaccessible to a
wagon.
The horses attached to the roller were
spirited animals. In descending the
hill they became restive under the
weight pressing upon them and the next
minute there was a runaway. Just
ahead of the horses was a fence and be
low it another field where the hill side
was steeper than in the field being roll
ed. I'nder the momentum it was im
possible for the unreasoning animals to
turn and on they plunged, it seemed, to
instant death, the driver vainly trying
to control them and with much difficulty
maintaining his seat on the roller.
Arriving at the fence the horses with
a single bound leaped over the obstacle,
dragging the roller after them, while the
driver falling from the seat slid ofT be
hind and thus escaped. The runaway
now became thrilling beyond anything
ever witnessed. Down the steep hill
side the horses plunged—now falling,
rolling over each other, the huge land
roller itself turning end over end, then
regaining their feet and plunging on
ward down, down until threelarge fields
were traversed and the hollow below was
reached where the horses were caught. By
this time the roller—a fine modern im
plement—was reduced to splinters and
all that remained attached to the horses
was the doubletree. The horses were
much bruised but so far as could be de
termined were not seriously injured.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won

RIFLE PRACTICE
SEASON
Opens May Ist, ar.d Closes October 31st —
Conditions the Same.
The order opening the rifle practice
season for the National Guard was is
sued at Harrisburg, Tuesday. The sea
son will open May Ist and close October
31st. The conditions are practically the
same as last year.
The commutation for rifle practice is
increase to $75 and 5,000 rounds of am
munition will be issued to each coni
pany. All ammunition will be black
powder, the smokeless variety having
been found to be unsatisfactory in the
Springfield rifle.
The silhouette target will be used for
qualifying marksmen, but it is probable
that the protests made at the last state
matches will be heeded and the eliptic
al targets will be u;.ed at Mt. Gretna at
the next matches.
General Stewart has decided to send
a team to Sea Girt to represent Penn
sylvania at the inter-state and interna
tional matches next fall.
When a boy.turns his bulging pocket
inside out we marvel at the quantity
and variety of articles he has stowed
away. Odd lengths of string, marbles,
a horse chestnut, a top, brass nails,
hickory nuts, an apple, and many more
articles are garnered by this "snapper
up of unconsidered trifles." We think
think the collection must be hard on a
boy's pocket, and it substance we put
into the pocket of our stomach'/ There's
the apple and the nuts, and things bt»-
ci.li.u uniti. i 1111 ihie ii«i br;iss nails
siaes quite as inugestnue as orass nans
and with no more food value than so
many marbles. And yet we wonder
that the stomach "gives out.' When
the stomach breaks down under the
strain af careless eating irregular meals
it can be perfectly and permanently re
stored to health and strenght by the use
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. The action of the medicine on
the stomach and other organs of digest
ion and nutrition is so marked, that re
lief from disease is at once experienced
and the headaches, liaer "troubles" kid
ney disorders, skin eruptions add others
symptoms of diseased stomach are
quickly cured. Whenever the use of a
laxative medicine is indicated, use Dr.
Pierce's Plesant Pellets. They act in
harmony with the "Discovery and as
ist its action by purging the bowels of
oul accumulations.

As to our mannerisms, says a writer
In the Baltimore Sun, at first they are
accidents, ami afterward they become
habits. It is singular how easy It Is
to convince a credulous public that a
misfortune Is a gift, just as an eccen
tricity Is a mark of genius. Your
correspondent knows a lady who was
asked in marriage l>y several gentle
men (for where one pastures others
will follow), although she was neither
beautiful nor clever nor rich, but
because she was affected with a trem
bling of the lids. In her Inmost heart
(the who addresses you believes the
I trembling began with nervousness, but
It was universal, and after a little
what was curious began to be regarded
us fascinating. At any rate I know a
: well established, portly lady, married
| to a man who secured her, not without
difficulty, whose only sorrow is the
i necessity of keeping tip the girlish
habit which procured her a spouse. He
Is not a sentimentalist, but he wants
what he paid for. He married her
because her eyelids trembled, and not
unnaturally he wishes to be possessed
of the same treasure.

A PRETTY
HID-APRIL WEDDING
In Soranton on Monday. Miss Woolleyof
this city one of the bridesmaids.
Bride well Known in Danville.
It in a very unusual spring-time when
at leant one handsome wedding does not
mark mid-April in Scranton. This sea
son is no exception, for yesterday was
signalized by one of the prettiest wed
dings ever seen in this city, when Miss
Frances Pratt, daughter of Mrs. Benja
min H. Pratt, was married to Andrew
Nelson Walker.
The ceremony took place in the Sec
ond Presbyterian church at H o'clock.
The procession was most attractive as
to the wedding music, played by Pro
fessor Chance, the bridal party proceed
ed up the center aisle. It was a charm
ing spring-tide wedding, for banked
high behind the altar were masses of
rich green, starred thickly with margu
erites. The gowns of the bridesmaids
harmonized with the general effect.
They wore pale green mousseline de
soie, striped with satin and made with
Empire sashes and swirling foot-frills.
They carried loose clusters of snowy An
nunciation lilies and wore little bows of
white illusion in their hair and at the
collar fastening. The maid of honor
was Miss Katharine Pratt, the pretty
sister of the bride. She, too, was attired
in pale green. Her gown was trimmed
with lace and she carried white carna
tions and maiden-hair fern.
The bride followed the procession,
and as the loving gaze of her friends
Ml upon tin- fair, girlish face, so ser
ious and almost grave, as she slowly
passed through the rows of assembled
guests, many an eye dimmed with a
sudden mist, remembering how it all
came alwmt that the bride of the day
walked alone— remembering the univer-
sally honored and devoted father and
the brother who so recently went away
forever.
The bride wore white crepe-de-chine
made with exquisite simplicity, the full,
circular ruffle being garnished with
narrow folds. Iler veil was fastened
with orange blossoms and she carried
bride roses. Real lace formed the up
per bodice and nndersleeves.
The bride was met at the altar by the
groom and his best man. Dr. ( laude
Walker. The ushers were Geo. M.
Hallstead and J. J. Lauder, of this city;
Charles Avery Hickey and Harry
Walker, of Binghamton; George Wal
ker. of Emporium; E. Stanley Bixler, of
Eaeton. The bridesmaids were: Miss
Caroline Hall, of Elmira. N. Y., and
Miss Sara Fordham, cousins of the
bride; Miss Cordelia Woolley, of Dan
ville; Miss Edith Norton and Miss
Grace Birdsall. of this city, Miss Doro
thy Strath Miller was the dainty little
flower girl. She walked with William
Hallstead, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. M.
Hallstead, who acted as page.
After the beautiful and impressive
ceremony, which was performed by
Rev. Dr. C. E. Robinson, a large num
ber of invited guests attended a recep
tion held at the home of the bride s
mother, on Mulberry street. The promi
nent families of society were represent
ed. The charming rooms were lavishly
decorated by Clark. Bauer s orchestra,
stationed on the second floor landing,
furnished music. Hanley catered.
Among the out-of-town guests were:
Mrs. Hall, Miss Hall, Elmira, N. Y.,
Mrs. R. H. Woolley, Danville, Pa., Miss
Ellsworth, Mr. M. Miller, Mr. Maguire,
New York; Mr. -ind Mrs. Long, West
Pittston; Harry C. Walker, G. A. Wal
ker, Jr., Emporium; Charles Avery
Hickey, Binghamton, N. Y ; Mr. and
Mrs. Marshall Walker, Mr. and Mrs.
Leßoy, Nicholson; Mrs. Vaughn, Mos
cow: Mr. and Mrs. George R. Ileizey,
Marietta, Pa.; Miss Emily Harding and
Moses Shields, Jr., of Nicholson.
Few young women have found so ten
der a place in a multitude of hearts as
the bride of yesterday. No less lovely
in character than in face, she is univer
sally admired. Mr. Walker is an at
torney of far more than usual ability.
He is a nephew of William !• Hall
stead and has brilliant prospects in his
chosen profession.
The young i>eople will take up their
residence in the home of the bride's
mother, occupying the lower half of
that spacious residence.—Scranton Tri
bnne —Tuesday.
The bride is well known in Danville
and has frequently visited at the R. H.
Woolley home.

an inilanied condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely clou

THE GLASS OF FASHION.
\
Sashes of all kinds and descriptions
will be a feature of summer dress.
The prettiest, most becoming face
veil for mourning wear is made of
brussels net with a scalloped edge, a
hemstitched border or a crape band.
Embroidered batiste of the finest
texture and the daintiest biscuit tint is
to lie very much worn this season for
entire gowns, waists and trimmings.
French knots are quite as popular as
ever as a means of trimming, with the
difference of using heavy instead of
fine silk. On gauze materials they are
very effective.
Spring hats have blossomed out In a
very realistic way with flowers in the
lead for decoration. Roses are first on
the list, but all sorts of exquisite floral
designs are in evidence on the new
hats.
The new leather belts are the same
straight around bands so long worn,
but are covered with rows of stitching
or combined with velvet showing a
narrow line through the center, the
leather overlapping and being stitched
on.
Single faced velvet ribbon is prom
ised as one of the trimmings for fou
lard gowns, and it is to be stitched on
at the upper edge. Graduated bands
of piece velvet were stitched onto the
skirts of the winter models, so it is
only the same idea differently express
