THE TIMES, NEW BLOGMFIELD, PA. NOVEMBER 23, 1880.
A Novel Potato Trap.
A. citizen of Richmond tolls a good Btory
of Hie time of the rebellion, wbcu Llbby
prison wm full of captive Union soldiers.
The Richmond man, whose iiamo la Joseph
l' Wingfleld, whs on the guard about the
prison. Under one room that was full of
prisoners It was across the street from
Ijibby, when that den was overflowing
with loyal humanity aud they bad to find
extra quarters under this supplementary
room was a store-room full of large sweet
potatoes North Carolina yams. These
liad been disappearing at the rate of a
Imsbel ft day, aud Wingfield was posted to
guard them, with orders to Bhoot anybody
he caught stealing them. He was locked
iu ; about midnight be heard a queer creak
ing noise, but could see no one. Presently
be saw a brick let down on a string from
the ceiling, and light on the pile of pota
toes. Then it went up again with pretty
nearly a peck of them sticking to it, and
disappeared through a hole in the ceiling.
In a few minutes it came down again, aud
Wingfleld looked at it well. He says :
" Well, sir, it was the cutest thing you
ever saw. Those Yankees had taken a brick
and drilled about thirty holes in it, and
through these holes they had put tenpenuy
nails which they bad sharpened. 'When
ever the briok fell among the potatoes
those nails Just spiked tbem right and left,
. and finally gathered them in." Wingfleld
took the cord and held it firm. The pris-
. oners pulled and tugged, thinking there
was a big load of yams on it. Then Wing-
4ield cut the string, and beard a voice say :
-"There our rope has broke. We've lost
-our brick, and they'll find us out." Then
man's head poked through the bole, and
he began peering around. Wingfield said :
"If you all don't let them yams alone, I'll
shoot up there among you." The prison
ers didn't get any more yams.
Crime in Dauphin County.
On Saturday eveuing last while Mr.
William Ulricb, of Huramelstown, who is
Administrator of some estate in Lower
Bwatara township, was on bis way home
from Highland to Huramelstown, between
S and 0 o'clock, via the Chambers' road,
and when driving along Chambers' hill,
immediately above Rutherford's station,
two men on foot came staggering along as
if under the influence of liquor. When
they came up to the wagon one was slightly
ahead of the other, and by a preconcerted
movement seized the bead of the horse
Mr. Ulrich was driving, while the other
came close to the wagon and with levelled
pistol demanded : " Your money or your
life." Mr. Ulrich with a quick movement
knocked the pistol out of the footpad's
hand and it went ' spinning Into the dark
ness. The fellow at the horse's head then
directed a shot at Mr. Ulrich which grazed
his neck and chin and which made him
think it was time to accede to the request
of the bold highwaymen as he had no
weapon to defend himself with. He gave
them about f 30 all the money he bad about
him, when, after uttering threats and curs
es, they allowed him to depart. Mr. Ul
rich did not know the parties, but the im
pression is that they knew their man and
posaibly divined the route he would take
going home and proceeded out the Cham
bers road to waylay and rob him.
Terrible Accident.
At Altoona on Monday night about 8
o'clock a terrible accident, took place iu the
company's yard between the middle divis
ion round house and the Ninth street
crossing. A. lad 15. years of age named
William Lumus, a resident of Mount
Union, was ground to pieces beneath the
wheels of a shifting engine, No. 84. It
appears that last Saturday the boy camo
to Altona for tiie purpose of visiting his
uncle, John Long, a fireman on the middle
division. As Long's engine was pullicg
out last evening the boy jumped on it ap
parently for the purpose of going home.
They bad proceeded down the track a short
-distance when they stopped and Long
jumped off to oil up. . Presently the boy
jumped off too, aud alighted right In front
of shifter No. 84, which was running by
on the next track He either fell on the
track or was struck by the shifer and fell.
The wheels cut off bis whole head except
the face, taking the brains out clean and
scattering them over the ties. II is right
arm was also run over and cut so that it
hung only by a shred. The body was
picked up by bis uncle and laid on a
.stretcher which was brought.
No Objection Now on Account of Age.
A romantic marriage took place at the
'residence of Mr. C. B. Smith last evening.
The contracting parties were Mr. James
Boweu, now in the 71st year of bis age,
-and Miss Cassie Cissel in her 68th year.
The marriage was performed by Rev. J.
Thomas Ward, a nephew of the bride.
About half a century ago the parties were
'lovers, and for some reason said to have
been th objection of the bride's parents on
account of age the engagement was brok
en off. Mr. Bow en subsequently married
another lady and raised a family. Miss
Oisael having lived single these many years,
Mr. Bowen, whose wife died two years
ince renewed his attentions and was ac
cepted Washington Star.
