A Sad Case.
Ruth, five-month-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Watson, died at
1.30 a. m., Thursday from brain trouble.
Mrs Watson, who has been 111 with ty
phoid fever for six weeks, is in such a
condition now with heart trouble that
the doctors thought it not wise to tell
her of the child's death and the baby
was burled without the mother know
ing about it. After the Death Messen
ger called for the little cherub the body
was moved to the home of Mr. Watson's
sister, Mrs. Thomas Frajiler, on Jack
son street, where funeral services were
held Friday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. A. J. Meek, pastor of the Baptist
church, and tntermont was made in the
Roynoldsvlllo Cemetery. Mrs. Watson
inquires about her baby every day and
it is a hard task for the father to tell
his wife that the baby is alright when
it has been placed beneath the sod.
Fine Moving Pictures.
A packed house greeted Howe'? Mov
ing Picture entertainment at the opera
house Saturday evening. The views
are up-to-date and are very fine. The
large audience gave close attention
while they gazed at crowned heads of
Europe, circus parade, horse race, magic
pictures, &c, and were rapidly carried
through the mazes of the Paris Exposi
tion and stirring scenes of the British-
Boer war.' The scenes were reproduced
with such realism of life that some of
the ladles in the audience cried when
the battle scene was shown. The piO'
tures were accompanied by realistic
sounds. The entertainment was given
under the auspices of the Young Men's
Reading Association and they realized
927.00 for their net share of the profits.
Mr. Howe expects to give another en
tertainment here some time this season
when an entirely new program will be
given. Mr. Howe has a very Interest
ing reciter with him who amuses the
audience at intervals.
A Fine Organization.
Frank S. Davidson's company, which
appears three nights this week at the
opera houso, scored a distinctive suc
cess In "Days or us lost night. Air.
Davidson has been a favorite here for
years and, judging from tho play and
his work last night, will keop his place
In the hearts of tho patrons.
The orchestra carried bv thecomnanv

highly complimented by tho audience,
which fully appreciated the music.
The company plays "Old FarmnrHop
kins" to-niuht and "The Folks Un Wll

Rarely Qifted Speaker.
We had Prof. Frank R. Robcrson at
tho Asbury Heights Chautauqua one
season. It is but justice to him to say
that by all means the finest entertain
ment we ever bad on our platform was
given by him. Mr. Roberson is, first of
all, rarely gifted platform speaker;
second, a most genial and companiona
ble gentleman, and third, he carries the
finest views that modern science knows
how to produoe. All this in oonnection
with the fact that he studies his lecture
problems on the field and makes his
own photographs, enables him to fur
nish his auditors an entertainment of
very superior character.

Court Opened Monday.
The Quarter Session Courts of this
county opened Monday with Horn John
W. Reed, president judge, on the bench.
Thomas K. Hastings, of Punxsutaw-
ney, was appointed foreman of grand
Jury and Constable J. W. Jewart, of
Perry township, was given chargo of
the grand jury. The tipstaves appoint
ed were Robert Stewart, D. II. Knap-
enborger and Cameron Wlthorow.
In his charge to the grand jury Judge
Reed spoke of the various ways in
which the law Is disobeyed In the coun
ty, and he said that it is the duty of
grand juror to make a return to court
of any public nuisance or law breaking
of any kind In tho community where he
resides. Judge said: "Lack of moral
stamina makes cowards of us all." Loud,
profane, Indecent and boisterous talking
on the street was classed by Judge Reed
as a public nuisance punishable by one
or more yoars In tho penitentiary.
Drunken carousals comes under the
head of public nuisance and jSilge
said that a grand juror's oath makes It
obligatory on him to report such things,
and If every grand juror did his duty
along that line there would be less crime
In the county.
New Schedule.
A new schedule goes Into effect on
the Low Grade Division of P. & E. on
Sunday, Nov. 25th. There will bo but
slight changes In the time of passongor
trains at this place. There was some
talk of taking off two trains, but this
will not be done. The 1.00 p. m. and
H.14 p. m., eastbound trains will be hold
at DuBols about one hour. The number
of trains will be changed. On the new
schedule No. 1 will be No. 100, No. 2
will be No. 103, No. 5 will be No. 104,
No. 6 will be No. 100, &o. Even num
bers east and odd numbers west, just
the opposite from the way thoy are run
now. The most radical ehange for
railroad men Is the changing of right-of-
way of trains. Ever since the Low
Grade was first operated westbound
trains had right of way over eastbound
trains, but under the new schedule this
will be changed and eastbound trains
will have right of way over westbound.

Jailed For Stealing a Watch. ..
Edward Ellis, a glass blower, was
taken to the county jail last Friday
for stealing a gold watch from Mrs. J.
T. Coax's residence, about a mile north
of town. Late Thursday night Ellis
topped at Coax's and said his name
was Hammond and that he had fallen
off a train and was so badly Injured he
could not walk to town and wanted to
stay all night. The man was apparent
ly very lame and the family took pity
on him and gave him a bed. Friday
morning he was given breakfast and
was brought to town In the buggy.
Soon after the ungrateful wretch had
gone it was discovered that Miss Edith
Coax's olghtoon-dollar gold watch had
dlsapieared, Mrs. Coax drove to town
and stopped at Hotel Imperial, where
the man snld ho was boarding, and In
quired for Hammond, but there was no
such person at the Imperial, but while
talking about the man, the boy who
works for Mrs. Coax and who brought
Ellis to town, saw him standing In front
of the First National bank. Ho was
called over and bis lameness had all
gone. Mrs. Coax accused him of taking
tho watch, but tho fellow docled the
accusation emphatically. Ellis had
pawned a ladles' gold watch to Frank
Sutter for 91.00 about an hour before
Mrs. Coax came to town to look
for the thief. Sutter heard of the thuft
and showed Mrs. Coax tho watch and
she claimed it, as Edith's initials wore
on case. A warrant was issued for
Ellis, who was well intoxicated by that
time, and as there was no police or con
stable around 'Squire Neff arrested the
follow. Ho was given a hearing before
Neff's tribunal and the evidence was so
strong that Ellis was bound over to
court for larceny, and fulling to got ball,
was taken to Brookvllle jail by Consta
ble I. E. Smith, of Falls Creek, who
happened to be town.
Ellis' case came up before the Grand
Jury yesterday and he plead guilty to
the charge of larceny. He has not
been sentenced yet. His chances are
good for a term in the penitentiary.

AN AWFUL
Q. Marshall Harding Attempted to Murder Mis Wife
and Then Committed Suicide.
JEALOUSY CAUSE OF
Mr. Harding Will Recover-The Bullet Still In Her Head -Harding Was
Burled Sunday A
It Is common to read of tragedies that
have occurred In some other part of the
country and we think llttlo about them,
but a tragedy In our midst horrifies the
peoplo and Impresses on thorn how aw
ful it Is to tnke human life, therefore it
Is hardly necessary to say that tho peo
plo of Reynoldsville were terribly
shocked and excited when the report
ran through town like wildfire at noon
last Thursday thalG. Marshall Harding
had murdered his wlfo and then com
mitted suicide. Tho tragedy was not
as bad as first reported. Harding did
not succeed In killing his wife. She was
shot, in tho head, but the bullet did not
strike a vital spot. Tho ball struck
about the middle of her left ear and was
burled In the bone back of ear, where
It still remains. The doctors at first
intended performing an 0eratlon, but
as it would be a very dangerous opera
tion they decided to let the ball remain
In the woman's head unless it gives her
trouble.
After Marshall shot his wife he held
the 32-callbre revolver to his right
temple and sont a bullet crashing
through his own brain and foil to the
floor dead with the revolver clutched In
his right hand. The tragedy occurred
at the residence of Benjamin II. Jones,
father of Mrs. Harding.
Marshall Harding was a brakeman on
the Reynoldsville & Falls Creek R'y.
Four years ago he eloped with Miss
Mollle Jonos to Salamanca, N. Y.,
where they were married. Mollie was
thon sixteen and Mirshall was twenty
two years old. The past yoar or two
life was not "one sweet dream" with
this couple and quarrels were not un
common In thojr household. Harding
was very jealous of his wife, and the
"green-eyed monster" was the cause of
much of their trouble.
Fred Duncan, a snap peddler who
claims Chicago as his home, figured
conspicuously In the Immediate cause
of the awful deed committed. As near
as we can learn the case Is as follows:
Last Friday afternoon the railroad
crew that Harding worked with brought
the money for Saturday's pay from
Falls Creek, arriving hore soon after
3.00 p. m. and then Harding went home
and found tho doors of his house locked.
He entered his house through a win
dow and found Duncan there with his
wife. The circumstances aroused bis
suspicions and Duncan's hasty exit
doubtless saved his life. There was
a stormy time In that household. Hard
Ing said thoy must separate and he took
his wife and llttlo daughter, Mary, to
ber father's home and his son, Ivan
Eugene, to the home of his father.
Monday afternoon part of household
goods were moved out of tho house, Indi
eating that Harding did not Intend living
with his wife. Whllo moving the goods,
in tho prosonce of Mrs. Jones, Harding
banded his wife a loadod revolver and
said: "Shoot yoursolf and I will shoot
myself." Whon she said she would not,
ho said, "You are afraid."
Sunday afternoon Harding called at
Hotel Imporlal, where Duncan was
stopping, and had a private con versa
Hon with him In ono of tho bod rooms
after which Duncan went with Harding
to the residence of Mr. Jonos, and in
the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Jones and
Harding and wife the soap peddler
mado the statement that Improper rela
tions existed between himself and Mrs,
Harding. Eurly Monday morning Mr.
Jones called at Hotel Imperial and Dun
can wont with him to 'Squire. Neff's
offlco and by a sworn affidavit denied
the statements ho had made at Jonos' the
evening before. Ho said he was forced
to lie by fear of Harding taking his life.
The soap man skipped the town Mon
day, and it is well for him that he did
for Harding was looking for him Mon
day night to kill htm.
Harding was drinking some Wednes
day night and before going home bid
several people goodbye, saying they
would never see him again. He did
not go to bed that night. He wrote
two letters, one to his father and sisters
and one to his lodge, which we publish
below. It Is evident that Harding had
fully decided to kill his wife and com
mlt suicide.
A little after eight o'clock Thursday
morning be went to the home of his
father-in-law and asked to see Mollle,
Mrs. Jones refused him at first but
finally yielded and wont Into parlor
with them and remained there, much to
the annoyance of Harding. He Insisted
on Mrs. Jones leaving the room, saying
he wanted to talk to Molho five min
utes and everything would be settled
Harding wanted bis wife to go away
with him to Salamanca, but would not
consent to take the children along.
Mrs. Harding refused to go without the
children. The supposition Is that Mar
shall wanted his wife to go to Salaman
ca that their lives might end In
the hptel where they were married.
Mrs. Jones did consent to leave the
room and had only been gone a few
minutes when she heard the shots and
her daughter screaming. When Hard'
TRAGEDY!
THE TERRIBLE DEED.
Large Funeral.
lngshot his wife she full backwards, and
supposing that the first shot had killed
her, ho turned the revolver on himself.
He was silting on the organ stool and
she was sitting on tho floor when the
shooting was done. Harding had con
cealed the revolver and Mrs. Harding
did not know he had ono until he shot
her.
Three physicians were summoned but
Hard lug was beyond medical skill and
the doctors turned their attention to
Mrs. Harding. Tho revolver was hold
so close to Mrs. Harding's head that her
ear was burned with powder.
Mr. Gonrgo Harding, tho father, who
Is a widower, was In Clarion county
when tho tragedy occurred and the body
of Marshall was moved to J. II. Hughes'
undertaking rooms to be prepared for
burial and on Saturday was taken to
the residence of tho father on Main
street.
Funeral services were hold at the res
idence of Georgo Harding Sunday after
noon, conducted by Rov. A. J. Moek,
Ph. D., pastor of the Baptist church,
and Interment was made in Beulah
cemetery. The funeral was a very large
one. Marshall was a member of Mazo
manla Tribe No 341, Improved Order of
Red Men, and Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, and both those orders attend
ed the funeral. A beautiful floral
anchor was presented by the B., R. T.
Order. Marshall carried 91,200 insur
ance In the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, which will likely go to his
wlfo, as the policy is made out In her
name.
George Marshall Harding was born
In Beechwoods, this country, January
1st, 1874, making him almost 27 years
old at time of death. He was a good
railroad man and was, well liked by
those with whom he worked.
Following are copies of the let
ters written by Harding Wednesday
night:
Reynoldsville, Nov. 8, 1.30 a. m.
My Dear Father and Sisters: There
is no doubt but that this will make you
feel bad, but I cannot live and bear the
trouble Molllo has brought upon me.
So you look after tho children, that is
Mary and Ivan, the best you can. And
use what money I have left them to the
best of your ability so as to not lot tbem
want for the necessaries of life, and be
good to them and protect them in all
ways, and you will be remembered
better than I expect to be for the way I
have left them. So a kiss to you all and
I am no more.
Lovingly your son and brother,
G. M. Harding.
