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 appearance at the opera house Saturday night presenting one of the largest and most expensive minstrel companies on the road, including W.

This year tiie shirt waist man will have things his own way; he will lie in the majority, and the jokes will be 011 the men who still think that a man in a shirt waist is a dude.

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. Special Rates To Williamsport, Friday 1 April 26.

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.

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 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 ed.—New York Sun. THE TURF RECORD.
