Creep, dealer in clothing & furnishing goods, failed yesterday. Mr. Reuben Frey, a prominent and highly esteemed citizen of shrewsbury twp., was stricken with paralysis yesterday morning. A telephome from Glen Rock this morning states that he is lying in a very critical condition, and his life is despaired of. Mr. Frey was a delegate to the last Democratic County Convention. Mr. Adam Fitzkee, a German, who has been missing from his home near East Prospect since January 11th, was found drowned last Sunday in the Susquehanna, near the shore, with his face down and his feet frozen to the ice. Justice Wallace was notified and held an inquest, the jury rendering a verdict of death by drowning. The deceased was about 65 years of age and lived with his son. It is stated that his mind was deranged for some time previous. His remains were interred in East Prospect cemetery. Mr. Frederick Goodling, a highly respected young farmer, residing in Loganville, this county, died yesterday after only one day's illness. He was about 30 years of age, and leaves a widow and one child. We are informed that Mr. Goodling has been subject to periodical spells of great lassitude, when his limbs became limber and helpless, but they never lasted long and were not considered serious. Yesterday he was again attacked by one of these spells, and suffering from a severe cold at the time, it is supposed that the two ailments together caused his death this morning. Died,on the 13th inst., at the almshouse, George Hoovin, aged 72 years. Died, on the 14th inst., at 9:50 pm at the residence of his father, David Landes on N. George street, after a protracted illness, Herman E. Landes. Died, on the 15th inst., at 7:45 am, Mrs. Mary A. Lichtenberger, aged 76 years and 26 days.

It is reported that a man named Fake, of Hellam, attempted to hang himself, but was cut down before life was extinct. Mr. Ness, of Harrisburg, son-in-law of Mr. Joseph Sample, 114 S. Queen st. has commenced the erection of 2 new 2-story dwelling houses on S. Pine st. Last Saturday evening as Mr. J.C. Gross was driving from Franklintown to his farm, the horse became frightened and ran off, throwing Mr. Gross to the ground. Fortunately he was not hurt. The buggy was badly demolished. Yesterday a 2 horse team ran away from the front of Eyster House and dashed up W. Market street as far as the States Union Hotel, where it was caught by Squire Solomon Myers. The only damage was a singletree. The team belonged to a country man. Letters of administration on the estate of Mary Wilson, late of Chanceford twp. were granted to day by Register Bowman, to John T. Grove. Wm. Boyd, son of Richard Boyd of the Second ward, an employee of Baugher, Kurtz & Stewart, while assisting Aaron Petry at a circular saw, his right hand came in contact with the saw lacerating one of the fingers. The saw is run by steam, so young man be careful in the future. Web. Wilt was driving a mule and a horse attached to a wagon out S. George st. this morning about 10:30 when the fastenings on the single trees came off and the team took to cavorting around in great shape, breaking off the tongue of the wagon. Mr. Wilt could not control them, and Freddie Wayman jumped into the street, backed by Messrs. Herman Wagner, Wm. Fisher and W.H. Boll, and forced the festive steeds to stand still. The runaways could not resist or kick against Freddie's muscle. Last Thursday Mr. Benjamin Stoner, his wife, aunt, maid, servant and one of his children, five in number, residing in Hellam twp., were poisoned by drinking coffee. They all became very sick, and Dr. Armstrong was summoned who promptly responded, and administered the proper remedies to counteract the poison. The doctor at once concluded that the coffee, which they had drank, was the cause of the mischief, from the fact that Mr. Stoner's hireling and a laboring man, who did not drink any coffee, did not become sick. All except Mrs. Stoner have almost fully recovered from the effects of the poison. She is still confined to her bed and is quite ill, having drank more of the coffee than the rest. Dr. Armstrong sent some of the coffee to Baltimore for analysis, and has since received information from the city that it contained arsenic. There was arsenic in Mr. Stoner's house, but it was safely kept out of the way, and how it got in the coffee remains a profound mystery.
