A COSTLY COW.
Moses Freztnskl l ined For Cruelty to
Anlmnt.
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.

Ilraktman Ryan's 1'llick.
Andrew J. ltyan, a well known resident of
Frackvllle, employed as a brakeman on a
Philadelphia & Bending coal train, had a
miraculous escape from death at Mahanoy
Plane. 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.

PERIL
Three Narrowly Escape Drowning li the
Freezing Water.
THE SCENE A THRILLING ONE!
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.

Editou Eveni.no IIekalii : Would you
bo kind enough to again publish in your
valuablo paper whother there is a revenue
stamp required ou all orders drawn on tho
treasury of a socret organization. a. o.
The question presented has been mooted
since the requirements of tho revenue law
bearing upon tho matter went into effect and
there have been conflicting opinions but,
careful attention to the matter justifies the
statement that stamps are required. Pen
rose A. McClain, Internal Revenue Collector
of Philadelphia, has so decided in a hypo
thetical case presented to him by the State
ollicors of tho P. O. S. of A. and, as the
secret societies in this district are within the
part of this state coming within his jurisdic
tion, they will be safe in abiding by his
decision. Mr. Jacob S. Williams, of town
has an interesting paper ou the subject,
which is too lengthy for publication. Eu.

Jury Declares Her Guilty of Mur

TO SPEND HER LHE IN PRISON.

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.
