Mr. FARNSWORTH is employed by the Pennsylvania railroad company as a track hand and he married his wife nine years ago. Mrs FARNSWORTH went to Harrisburg on Jul 1, 1893. She intended to return in a week but remained until Monday afternoon. It is alleged that she went to that city to meet John MINNICH and that he kept her while there. She come home on the fast line at 5:30 O'clock and went to her home on Third street above Penn. Her husband asked her why she stayed away from home so long and she became incensed at what she termed meddling in her affairs. He told her that she could not live with two men and that she must choose him or MINNICH.

It did not take long for Judge SAVIDGE and Prothonotary FASOLD to transform them from subjects of the mighty Czar into citizens and voters of this domain of mightier Uncle Sam. Although they were Americanized their names still have the Russian twist, as the list will show. Their names are as follows: Joseph DANGIELOWICZ John DUXTA Jacob FRANKFORD Albert GEJEWISKI Joseph LUDKIEWICZ Alexander NARKEWICZ Michael NOYALIS John SCHESKO Anthony SZARGA John T. JONES, who for a number of years has been inside foreman at Morris Ridge colliery, has resigned to accept a similar position at Packer colliery No. 2. located at Lost Creek. Thomas H.

The facts of a horrible brutal murder which took place at Sugar Notch, Luzerne county, last Wednesday, Jul 26, 1893, have just come to light. The murderer, an inhuman husband, kicked and beat his wife until death relieved her of her sufferings and the borough authorities have as yet taken no action in the case and the brute is still at large. Charles BOYLE, the murderer, is a resident of Sugar Notch, Luzerne county, and the father of four children. He is 45 years old, a miner and was thought to be slightly insane. His wife was forty years old. About six months ago, the brute administered a terrible whipping and for this she had him sent to the county jail. His mind, while there was examined by Dr. KIRWAN and Dr. LONG, who pronounced him perfectly sane. Her returned to his home in Sugar Notch, Luzerne county and scarcely had the odor of mush and molasses forsaken his clothing than he resumed his former practice of pummeling his wife. On Tuesday evening, Jul 25, 1893, Boyle and his wife had some little disagreement, when it is said he set upon his wife and thumped and kicked her about the room throwing her into the back yard, and while the poor woman lay prostrate upon the ground the inhuman monster, while with the fury of his anger, jumped upon and kicked her. When the woman gained sufficient strength, she dragged her bruised and bleeding boy into a coal house, where she spend the night in agony, and where sympathetic neighbors found her in the morning. They carried her into the house, laid her gently on the bed and sent for a doctor, who found her beyond all hop of medical relief. He also discovered that the woman would become a mother in a few months. A fact which makes the crime doubly revolting, and adds fuel to the flame of indignation rapidly rising among the people of Sugar Notch, Luzerne county. The woman died in extreme agony on Wednesday evening, Jul 26, 1893 and was buried in Hanover cemetery. Edith May BROKENSHIRE, a five-year-old daughter of Nicholas BROKENSHIRE, of Camptown, while playing on a grass plot in their yard one day last week fell and broke her arm at the elbow.

Carmel last Friday, Jul 28, 1893, after a two days visit with another brother in Philadelphia. Being in America but a week one wonders at the facility with which he uses the English language.

The conflict between the citizens of Gilberton and several police officers of the Schuylkill Traction Company. Ever since the Schuylkill electric road has been laid the people of Gilberton, through which town the line runs, have been dissatisfied, claiming that the right of way had no been given over the street upon which the road was laid, but over a side street. The street had been so graded by the Traction Company that the running water after every rain was drained into the cellars of the nearby residents. The town council had repeatedly given notice that the tracks should be removed but with no avail. On Monday evening, Aug 21, 1893, a force of men, headed by the chief burgess, tore up the tracks of the road and laid the rails to one side and the sill to another. There upon the Traction Company's officials ordered out Chief of Police Richard AMOUR and a quote of special officers to protect their property. The officers arrived at Gilberton about midnight, armed with Winchesters, and found a lot of citizens there, similarly armed. Chief AMOUR, to avoid bloodshed, called the chief burgess and several members of the town council to a side, and arranged amicably to have them desist until an agreement could be effected. As they were about to part some boy in the crowd yelled deridingly, "Where are the Girardville Homesteaders?" Hearing this, John BRIGGS, formerly a motorman now under suspension for several weeks, rushed to the front and discharged the contents of his rifle into the crowd, killing James PARFITT, aged 25 years, instantly, and injuring also Evan DAVIS and Richard CONNORS.
