Justlco Toomey last night gave a hearing to Moses Frczlnskl on a charge of cruelty, to animals, on complaint of Health OlUccr Cuiiry. The case was referred to In last evening's Issue of the Herald, hut at the hearing it developed that a mistake had been made, the warrant having heen Issued for Moses Huhiuski. Iu justlco to tho latter gentlemau, it should bo stated that he had uo connection with the alfalr. Tho complaint against Krozlnski was that he drove a crippled cow through tho towu yeft riliy and repeatedly abused the animal by belting it with a horsewhip and twisting its tali, Mr. M. D. Maloue was the chief wit now and said tho poor beast was hardly ablti to walk, oven undor tho punishment ap plied, l'rezlnskl was round guilty and he wan fined $10. The costd amounted to f S 80. and l'rezlnskl paid tho total amount of $18.80 to I lie Justice. Frezluski had paid $10 for the cow in tho morning, so that tho total cost of tho animal to him was $28.80. JSorough Sulicitor Ilurko represented tho lion rd of Health in the case and intended entering another prosecution against Frezin ski for ollering a diseased animal at a slaugh ter houso, but It was found that tho evidence as U Krezlnskl's Intention to slaughter tho animal was not sufficiently strong, and tho chargo was dropped.

Hyan was In the act of arranging the patent couplurs on a coal car, when a run away train crashed Into tho other end of the draft of cars, and before ltyan could espape ho was knocked under tho train. With great presence of mind he grasped tho forward axle of the car and pluckily held on while the swiftly moving cars dragged him a hun dred yards down the incline. Tho rapidly revolving axle blistered and tore his hands iu a frightful manner while tho ties and cinders ripped his clothes and rubber boots from his body. When tho train was brought to a standstill ltyan pluckily regained his feet and walked home to Frackvllle. With the exception of severe bruises he was uninjured. A Teacher Honored.

Two Broke Through the Ice and a Third Saved Himself on the Brlnk-A Fourth Skater Fell In When Trying to Rescue the Others. An accidont that will probably result In putting a damper on-skating as a local pas time, aud which almost resulted In at least two fatalities, occurred at tho No. 2 dam of the Shenandoah Water Company's plant yes torday afternoon. But for the presence of mind and heroism of soveral young men who wltuof sed tho accident, tlirco victims would in all probability have beeu claimed by tho icy waters. Skaters wore on the Ice in large numbers and several pleasant hours had been spent when Max I.evit, John Henncssy and Martin Monaghan took hold of hands and started for a Rpln around the dam. Mr. I.evit is the proprietor of the goats' furnishing goods storo at the corner of Main and Centre streets. Mr. ilennessy, Is the proprietor of tho Shenan doah Steam Laundry aud Mr. Monaglian is a student at Philadelphia spending his holiday vacation Iu town with his relatives. The trio sped swiftly aud joyously around to the opposite side of the dam when the ice suddenly cracked, split and broke. Mon aglian was the first to drop over tho brink and into tho water. Hennessy slid in after him. Lovit, who had trailed third, hud a chance to save hlmsolf. His hand hold broke, ho dug the toe points of his skates into the ice, and succeeded in considerably slackening his speed, but not bofore ono of his legs went Into the pool aud ho was forced down upon ono knee at tho brink. Throw ing himself backward, ho was in safety. James McIIale, formorly of tho Shenandoah drug storo, was among the first to hear the cries of the victims and tako in the situation. Tho rescue of his friends had moro furcowith him than the thought of self-preservation, lie hurried to tlje scene and got too closu to tho treacherous Ice. Iu a moment he, too, was floundering In he freezing water. Tho depth at the place whero the ice broko is supposed to be about twenty feet. Tho three victims succeeded In preventing themselves from slipping under the ice, but they wero rapidly chilled aud their efforts to kcepafloat wero growing weaker evory instant, when Albert Shortall appeared 011 the sceno. Spectators says that Heunessy was about to sink the third time when Shortall pulled off his overcoat and throw one cud of it to the sinking man. With a clutch of almost a dying man Hennessy seized tho garment and Shortall, who retained a hold, pulled the victim out. McauH-hile Benjamin Jones, a clerk in Waslcy's pharmacy, aud Daniel Shortell, a young man of Pottsvlllo, had socured stout branches of trees and held them out to Mou aghau and McUalo, who seized hold of the branches and wero pulled out of the water to a place of safety. It is said that the escape of Monagbamand Hennessy from drowning was exceedingly close. The openingmadeby the breaking of tho ice was a largo one and it is not a llttlo surprising that the throe young men wero saved. It was tho most thrilling event that has taken place at the dams during a skating season, and those who figured in it will not forget their experience for some time.

Ducliin tilt) CiiiioluUltiir Sonne In the Trial tint Prisoner l.ot All SolfCon trol, mttl Solilioil Convulsively In tlio Arum oritur SWtot. San Francisco, Dec. 31. The Jury In the case of Mrs. IJotkln, charged with rnurderlns Mrs. John P. Dunning by sending poisoned candy to her at Do ver, Del., returned a verdict last even ing finding1 the prisoner cullty of mur der In the first degree, with the penalty fixed at life Imprisonment. The argument for the prosecution ciosed with District Attorney Hosmer on the stand. Mr. Hosmer was cool and cnlected throughout. He modulated his voice to a nicety, and seldom spoke passionately. The curious crowd that gathered In the court room expected to hear Mrs. Dotkin griddled were In a measure dissatisfied, but it was Mrs. Uotkin's attorneys and their methods In the conduct of the case that Mr. Hosmer made the principal point of his attack. Mr. Hosmer commenced his argument with the Incidents attending the ar rival of the package of candy at the Dover. Del., postolllce. He condemned the defense for insinuating that the package might have been placed In the mall hag by any one connected with the postolllce. He accused the attorneys of going behind the facts. He traced the package to the Pennington home and Its delivery to the unsuspecting Mrs. Dunning and the passing of the bon bons to other guests, their sickness and the death of Mrs. Dunning and her sis ter. v Mr. Hosmer pictured the grief of the parents and friends of the Pennington and Dunning families, and concluded with a scathing attack upon the pris oner. He took up the analysis of the candy by Chemist Wolf, of Dover, Del., and Professor Price, of this city. He ridiculed the defense for Its contention that members of the police department In this city, or even the chemists them selves, might have Inserted the poison to make out a case. He pointed out that Chemist Wolf had found lump arsenic and that Dr. Price had dis covered the presence of powdered ar senic. The defense, In argument, as serted that only lump arsenic had been found. Mr. Hosrcer concluded his address by asking the Jury to return a Just ver dict a verdict of murder In the first degree. After a brief recess Judge Cook delivered his charge to the Jury, the reading of which occupied more than an hour. The Jury then retired to deliberate on the guilt or Innocence of the accused woman, and In four hours returned with ther verdict. Mrs. Botkln cried bitterly several times during the day. and durinir tho (reading of the charge almost lost con trol or nerself. Her sister, who sat be side her during the progress of the trial, took Mrs. Hotkin In her arms and comforted her as best she could, but the tears could not be stayed. Elclit Omuilit by u Cuvoln.
