Bartelson's wife , died about three years ago, and he ga\e i ill's little baby, then aged eleven days, !to his mother, who has kept and cared for it since. Recently he remarried and . attempted to take the baby from bis J mother's arms. She would not give it i up and he tried to take it by force, j using her rather severely. His sister i came to her mother's aid, and in the I struggle Rartelson choked her. He finally got the child and ran off with it. The women followed, and seeing a policeman had him arrested. The mayor reprimanded the prisoner and fined him $3 and costs. At the re quest of the child's grandparents the prisoner was ordered to return the child to them or furnish bail for trial at court. After two hours' deliberation he re turned tho child. Sunday School Convention. A Sunday school convention will he held at St. Luke's Lutheran church to morrow evening.

One of the most successful entertain ments given hero for some time was tho one rendered on Saturday evening at tiie Grand opera house. The program was carried out in the order published-a week ago today, and tho several persons who took part did their work in a manner creditable to themselves and the occasion. Prof. Mayberry's choir j and the Davis quartette were unable to appear, due to illness in each of the | organizations. George McLaughlin, j Esq., presided as chairman, and in the j opening address paid tribute to the band I on behalf of the community and spoke j upon the great benefits derived from the cultivation of music. An audience that well-filled tho opera house was present, j and applause was liberally bestowed after each number was given. Opened a Surveyor's Office. i From the Wilkesbare Telephone. ! P* M. Boyle, of Kingston, who for many years filled the position of inside superintendent for Coxe Bros., and who also held the office of borough engineer at Freeland, and later was superinten dent for tho Plymouth Mountain Coal Company, lias opened an office at his home, 34 Kutter street. Kingston, and will henceforth follow his profession us civil engineer. Mr. Boyle combines a practical with theoretical knowledge of inside and outside surveying, and being familiar with all the details of coal min ing his services will doubtless ho in demand by the owners of coal properties throughout the valley. Nuie of llftiul Changed. At Saturday evening's entertainment the name of St. Patrick's cornet band was formally changed to St. Ann's Parish band, and tho organization will hereafter be known by the latter name. This change has been contemplated since connection was severed witli St. j Patrick's Beneficial Society, as the so ; eiety intends to continue in tho musical business and two bands of the same name might cause both much incon i venience. St. Ann's band will remain under the tutorship of Prof. A. P. May b irry, and St. Patrick's band will make i its appearance in a short while under i Prof. John J. Gillespio. Death at an Extraordinary Age. Mrs. Margaret Williams, colored, said to he the oldest woman in the state, died at Wilkesbarre on Saturday. Mie is said to have been 110 years old.

Accused of Wife Murder. At the coroner's inquest, in the case of Mrs. Charles Crawhall, of Miners Mills, Friday night, witnesses testiiied that her death was due to the severe beating her husband gave her last Fri day. Coroner McKee conducted the inquest and examined several neighbors as witnesses. These testified that the woman had been beaten frequently by her husband, and that on the previous night he had given her an unusually severe thrashing. During the hearing Crawhall caused a sensation by calmly announcing, al though warned that anything he said would he used against him, that he gave his wifo 10 cents to get beer and she lost the money, whereupon lie knocked her down and kicked her. The woman died the next morning and was buried on Monday. The body has since been examined and the result of the autopsy disclosed the fact that the woman died from poison. A large quantity of Paris green was found mixed with tho contents of the stomach. It is supposed now that the woman committed suicide because her life had been rendered unbearable by her husband. The jury rendered a verdict of suicide. "The World Against Her." The Boston Gbbe says of "The World Against Iler:" "Standing room only" was th© sign that hung on the outer wall of the Grand opera house last evening. Every seat was occupied and many were content to stand. "Tho World Against Her" was well received and the leading members in tho cast were enthusiastically applauded. The piece is thoroughly melodramatic, and lovers of this class of stage productions can surely 11 nd in it plenty of features worthy of recognition. Agnes Wallace Villa assumes the leading role, that of the wrongfully suspected and finally divorced wife. At lirst she is winsotnc and loving, but when the clouds begin to gather she endows the character with forbearance that is noble and truly touching. There are opportunities in this play for splendid acting, and they were fully appreciated. There is also lots of comedy, and the dude and the d'idine are well taken care of.
