In the matter of Mary Reesman against Robert Webster, it appears that one Henderson representing himself to be the attorney for the commonwealth has caused certain misleading statements to enter public print by attempting to shift the responsibility for the discharge of the accused upon other shoulders. If the dismissal grew out of any defect or what he has pleased to dub a "flaw" in the information, the learned counsel is most certainly familiar enough in "legal lore" to know that being concerned with his client's interest he should have cured any alleged defect or flaw by moving to amend which procedure I know he cannot be ignorant of.

As to the disposition of costs in cases of tins. kind, ordinarily the county would pay, but Mr. Henderson in this premise directed his client to pay in order that he might commence anew which he did. The costs were: Alderman, constable, total of which the constable alone has been paid. The alderman making no charge but marking docket satisfied as to costs.

The name of the author of the above communication can be learned on inquiry being made at this office. Death of Isadora Lilly. From the Johnstown Tribune of May 1: Isadore Lilly, who for eighteen years was steward of the Cambria county almshouse, being the predecessor of Thomas Hoover, died at his home, near Cresson, yesterday morning. It will be remembered that in the early part of December last Mr. Lilly was in Altoona, and at night started to visit some friends residing in the outskirts of the city, near Elizabeth Furnace.

When near the latter place Mr. Lilly, in crossing a culvert, stepped over the edge of it and fell a distance of twelve feet, breaking his left leg above the ankle. He was taken to the Altoona hospital and given tne necessary surgical treatment, but, the fractured bone refusing to heal, amputation was resorted to in order to save the patient's life. After the operation Mr. Lilly remained at the.

hospital until Saturday, April 13th, when he was removed to his home. At this time he was in very poor health, having never fully recovered from the injury and operation, and his friends then entertained but slight hopes for his recovery. Epworth Methodist Episcopal Churoh. The first quarterly conference of the Epworth Methodist Episcopal mission, Millville.for the present conference year, was held last evening amid considerable enthusiasm. The salary of the pastor, Rev.

Hirst Reed, was fixed at a figure satisfactory to him and entirely creditable to the members of the society. One important item of business transacted was the adoption of a resolution to proceed at once to the erection of a chapel on the lots owned by the society at the corner of Broad avenue and Twenty-ninth street. This organization is young yet, but it has a wise leader, a united and hopeful membership and an inspiring outlook for the future. Died From Injuries Reoived. At 9.30 o'clock Tuesday night Thomas J.

Weir died at St. FVancis hospital, Pittsburg, from injuries receiyed a few hours before while coupling cars. He was in the act of setting a link for coupling, and was walking backward, when he stumbled and fell. The wheels of the car passed over both lower limbs, severing the right leg above the knee and the left below the knee. The shock and loss of blood resulting from the accident proved fatal.

The deceased was a brother of Mrs. W. S. Ross, wife of Dr. Ross, of this city.

He was 33 years of age and a widower. He had the reputation of being an excellent railroad man. The remains will be interred at Freeport.

Early Called Away. The home of Mr. and Mrs. 'John Lantz, 1(501 Eighth avenue, was saddened on Tuesday by the death of their son, Robert Oscar. As the sun was slowly sinking behind the western hills his spirit left its tenement of clay and winged its way up to God.

For a year or more he had been suffering with pulmonary troubles, which finally caused his death. Last summer he spent some months in the west, in the hope of improving, but was disappointed. Upon his return he failed rapidly, until the end came. But recently he had passed his 21st year of age. During his illness he was thoughtful, patient and cheerful.

He was not afraid of death. lie was a Christian young man, and died in the triumphs of faith. His end was peace. He was a member of the Second Lutheran church and greatly enjoyed the ministrations of the pastor. Besides his parents, four sisters and three brothers mourn his early death.

A little over a year ago a sister preceded him to the eternal world. Now he, too, has "gone to that unknown and silent shore." "God's finger touched him and he slept." The funeral services will be conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. F. Hartman, at his residence on Friday at 2.30 p.

m. The interment ill be in Fairview cemetery. Her 31st Anniversary.

Robert and Charles Caldwell, brothers, were natives of County Derry, Ireland, and were of Scotch parentage. After arriving at manhood they emi grated to America and for a time resided near Greencastle, l'a. In the summer of 1754 they started out to explore the upper Juniata Valley, taking the Tuscarora path by way of Burnt Cabins, Shade Gap, Black Log, Croghan's Fort, Jack's Narrows and Standing Stone, and selected spots for homes for themselves and families in what is now Porter township in Huntingdon county. After constructing log huts they returned and in the spring of 1755, with their families and all their worldly effects on pack horses made their way to their new liomes. Robert settled on the Little Juniata near where Barree now stands, and Charles settled on the Frankstown branch of the Juniata, opposite where the town of Alexandria now stands.

The father of the deceased was named David Caldwell, who was the son of Robert. William Caldwell, father of David Tussey Caldwell, of Tyrone, was the brother of David Caldwell, the subject of this article. William Caldwell died at the family home, adjoining his own tannery at "Honesttown," midway between Irons-ville and Birmingham, in the year 1805. Notioe to Business Men and Others. Saturday, May.
