Very foolish it was to call that new station on the C. V. R. R. "Marshalsea." It is at the new City Farm, a mile west of Hastings and a mile east of Boyce. We have enough of old country names. The City Farm will be nothing like that old debtor's prison described by Dickens. At least it should not be. "Marshalsea!" What a mouthful, and how meaningless to most people!

An interesting site. I remember riding the Poskin buses to Pittsburgh with my mom, and the old bus garage still stands in McDonald. It now houses the Volunteer Fire Department and Police. http://www.amcap.org/history/washingtoncnty/gradison.shtml

The injuries were in the head and side and it was thought he could not live. Mr. DAUGHERTY has been a resident of McDonald for many years. He was a fireman at the Rend works. He has property near that place and a wife and two children. His brother Dennis died last March, and another brother was killed by the cars near the same place about sixteen years ago. Dec. 3, 1892 Outlook Mr. George DAUGHERTY, who was so badly hurt by the cars at Miller's Crossing, is recovering and is expected home next week.

In Court In court this week, Robert HOLMES, Jr., the colored boy convicted of robbing the safe of J. D. SAUTERS, was sent to Morganza. COMMONWEALTH vs. George LUELLEN, McDonald, charged with felonious assault and battery, a plea of guilty to simple assault was put in and accepted by the district attorney. The prosecutor asked the court to impose a light sentence, as he thought the young fellow had made a mistake when he struck him. The court gave him costs of prosecution and $25 fine. Wm. TIMMS, McDonald, pleaded guilty to violating the BROOKS law in the four different ways possible, and was given a sentence aggregating $650 fines and five months in jail. He was sentenced to jail at Mr. TAYLOR's request, as he needs medical attention and is in such condition he could not gain admission to the work house. Johnston CHILDRESS, McDonald, pleaded guilty to the violations of the BROOKS law charged against him, and made quite a lengthy plea for himself, insisting that he was a hard-working man and never intended to sell liquor for a living. He was given $550 fines and four months at the work house. When the amount of the fines was read out he said, "I can't raise that, Judge." The court assured him that if could not pay he would be let out at the end of four months anyhow, and he went out smiling. The case of the commonwealth vs. Constant BAKER was taken up. The prosecutrix, Philomene CALIGNAN, and the defendant, BAKER, could neither speak English, so August VALENTOUR was sworn as interpreter. The porecutrix said she came from Belgium eleven months ago with the defendant to live with him. He soon began abuse, beating and kicking her. Her child died and he went to the graveyard and destroyed the tombstone. BAKER had no counsel and asked a few questions himself. These cases which require the interposition of an interpreter are unsatisfactory alike to court, counsel and reporters. Several witnesses were examined, one saying that BAKER had threatened several times to kill the posecutrix. She had also testified that she was afraid of her life. BAKER, on the stand, said he came from Europe with her, but when he learned that his style of living was contrary to American law, he left her. He went back to Europe for ... to get away from her. When ... turned he went to her home, ... with her again, but to ... things her sister had sent over to ... He left her merely to conform ... American law; would have left ... mother in the same way. He ... word of reproach for the woman but denied he had beaten or threatened her. The only reason she had brought this prosecution was because he had left her. BAKER, through VALENTOUR, made a short address to the jury, stating that he never struck the woman, ... spoken roughly ... remainder missing. Com. vs. John PRUMMER, charged by Maude GRISE with assault and battery. Both parties from Midway. Defendant pleaded guilty and was fined one dollar and costs and was sent to the work house for sixty days. Com. vs. David STEVENSON, furnishing liquor to minors and on Sunday; Wm. SHAY, prosecutor. Not true bill and county for costs. Commonwealth vs. David STEVENSON, selling liquor without license, and to men of known intemperate habits; Wm. SHAY, prosecutor. True bills. Commonwealth vs. Louis TERME furnishing liquor on Sunday and selling without license; Wm. SHAY, prosecutor. True bills. Commonwealth vs. James HENRY, selling liquor without license; Wm. SHARY, prosecutor. A true bill. August VALENTOUR, a juror sworn in the Midway assault case, rode across from home Thursday morning and was late at court. He was fined five dollars for keeping the court waiting. The court will undoubtedly remit this fine for because of business engagements Mr. V. missed a train. In Commonwealth vs. David STEVENSON and application was made Thursday for a continuance by ... of the sickness of an important witness and also sickness in the defendant's ... If the bail is approved, the continuance will be granted.

Never was hurt but once, some years ago, when he got a leg broken in two places.

He is a native of Pittsburg, of Scotch descent, and a relative of the MCCONNELLs in Cecil and Chartiers, as his ruddy complexion, blond hair and stalwart figure would indicate.

KELLY Oliver KELLY, of Willow Grove, is at the West Penn Hospital; suffering from blood poisoning caused by a knife cut on his hand, and is not expected to live. The arm was removed yesterday, but it has done no good. His system is affected. It is reported that he received the wound in a row with a man named HARRINGTON.-Sunday Dispatch The cutting affray at Willow Grove on Friday night, in which Oliver KELLY was stabbed by William HARRINGTON, is likely to be a murder. The victim of HARRINGTON's wrath is now lying at the West Penn Hospital. Blood poisoning has set in and the doctors say his death is only a matter of a few days. KELLY was stabbed several times in the breast and his left arm was slashed so badly that it had to be amputated. Since the operation he has been sinking and it is feared that his vitality is not strong enough to withstand the shock and the effects of the blood poisonings. KELLY and HARRINGTON are both oil men.-Pittsburg Press Since the above story was put in type KELLY died KELLY worked in the Oakdale oil field and on Friday he was at Willow Grove where he met John KILLEN. They drank together, got into an argument, came to blows and KILLEN was getting the worst of it when HARRINGTON interfered in behalf of the latter, and KELLY left. Shortly after KELLY and HARRINGTON met and fought and KELLY got knife wounds in his arms and breast. KELLY was married and lived at Petersville, Pa., where the remains were sent for interment.
