THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA., Al'lilL 15, 1870.
A Parent's Crime.
The Philadelphia North American sayg-
A cane of unusual gravity has been un:
der the Investigation of the Society to Pro
tent Children from Cruelty for tome days
past. A week ago a gentleman named
Chalfout, a resident of Jenklntown, called
at the office of the Booiety and asked for
its protection of a seventeen-year-old girl
named Marguerite, who had been in , his
employ about four years. lie said that a
few days previous ber father, Owen MoMa
bon, bad ordered her to return to bis
house, but that she had refused to do so.
After some persuasion she explained her
strange conduct by saying that be- father
was so btutal that she could not live With
him ; that ber mother lout her reason, and
is now an inmate of the Barclay Insane
Asylum through bis brutal treatment of
her, and that he had several times made
criminal assaults upon ber younger sister.
The last charge was by far the more
serious, and Mr. Crew, the secretary,
asked Mr. Cbalfont to bring, if possible,
the younger sister to the room of the Soci
ety. McMahon meantime had become
more violent, and threatened to have his
daughter arrested unless she came to live
with bim. A day or two later Mr. Cbal
font brought the young girl uamed Kate to
the office, nud there she sobbed out the
story of her father's crimes. Ilia arrest
followed on Tuesday. lie was committed
to prison in default of $2000 bail, to await
trial on the chnrge of incest. The man
had six children, all of whom, except
Marguerite, the oldest, are now in care of
:lhe Society.
Black and WhlteNot to Marry.
lticnMOND, Va., April 8. Edward Kin
ney and Mary, bis wife, after a short hon
eymoon, have arrived at the penitentiary
here, under sentence of five years' impris
' onment. Kinney is a colored man of about
' forty ; the woraau is white, aud about
'thirty-five. They lived iu Hanover county
for some months in improper intimacy,
when, complaint being made to the author
ities1, they went to Washington city, and
were there united in marriage according to
the laws of the District of Columbia.
Some weeks after their return to Hanover
they were arrested and indicted for vio
lating the State law, which makes the in
termarriage of whites and blacks felony.
They were tried together before a white
jury, and found guilty, aud their term of
imprisonment was fixed at five years in the
penitentiary. They are now actually with
in the walls of that institution. It is un
derstood that a strongly approved petition
will be presented to the Governor asking
for their pardon on couditiou that they
leave the State forever. The law under
which they were convicted bas passed un
der the review of the Virginia Supreme
Court, and pronounced constitutional and
valid.
Wants to Get Out.
" Colonel" Rolland, the gentlemanly
burglar who is now doing the State some
service in the Eastern Penitentiary for his
burglarious attempt on the Chambersburg
Bank two years ago, was detected a few
days ego in a well-laid plan to escape from
prison. It seems that by some means be
bribed the turnkey and obtained commu
nication with bis wife, who is in Philadel
phia. ' Numerous boxes were passed in to
bim at different times. Suspicion was ex
cited in some way and his cell was search
ed, revealing ropes, books, a bank book
showing bim to bave a considerable sum of
money deposited in New York, and bis
whole plan of escape written out in sym
pathetic ink, by means of which they were
able to tell just exactly bow he intended
to escape. lie has since been placed in a
more secure cell.
Suffocated by Gas.
Lancaster, Apiil 8. An accident oc
curred last night at the house of G. Fink,
in this city, which resulted in the death of
a young girl, aged about 15 years, named
Lizzie Dittmau. She was from the coun
try, aud was yesteiday eugaged as a do
mestic in the family. She retired to bed
about 8 o'clock last evening, and not mak
ing ber appearance this morning search
was made, when she was found dead, suffo
cated by escaping gas. It is supposed she
blew out the gas-light instead of turning it
.off.
Fall of a Large Meteor.
Chicago, April 9. Daring a thunder
storm this evening, a meteor, which looked
while in the air about a foot in diameter,
fell to the ground ou the South side, burst
ing into many pieces just before striking.
It was white with heat, and the fragments
resembled clinkers. The wire of a tele
phone, connecting two business offices on
the South side, was struck by lightning
about the same time, and the electrio fluid
entering the offices, played havoc with the
furniture.
Hard on the Beet.
The cold weather bas proved disastrous
to the bees in this vicinity, the time for
them to come out and work having etapsed
several weeks ago. We learn that Mr.
Snyder Miller, of Oneida township, lost IS
hives, and other bee keepers in the same
township have also experienced losses from
the same cause. Huntingdon " News.' '
