The fracture was reduced by Dr. Fay. ------------- MIDNIGHT PROWLERS, Sometime during Monday night of last week the residences of Hon. G. W. Patton, Mr. G. W. Kessler, and Mr. L. P. Work, on Eleventh avenue, were entered by midnight prowlers. The residences of the two former were despoiled of a number of edibles, Mr. Patton being the heaviest loser. In addition to the edibles stolen from the premises of the latter all his canned fruit was either taken away or destroyed. There was nothing taken from the residence of Mr. L. P. Work, who has been absent with his family for some time past. ----------------- Police Notes Pay-day being among the days of last week there were more than the usual number of drunks and disorderlies who sought an interview with the Mayor. Some were fined and those who were bankrupt were given quarters in Fort Ramey. On Friday last there were four sailors arrived in the city from Philadelphia, and soon afterward became uproariously drunk The police picked up tow of them, and having no place of confinement belonging to this city they were locked up in one of Mr. Ramey's buildings, in the First ward. The next morning a policeman discovered the other two sailors lurking in the vicinity of the lockup, and using disrespectful language toward a woman who was engaged in milking a cow near by. They were arrested by Chief Westbrook and assigned quarters with their companions. Previous to being put in the lock-up one of the sailors struck a wicked blow at the policeman, but it was warded off and reciprocated in a manner which caused the pugilistic sailor to bite the dust about twenty feet distant. At the hearing before Mayor Kinch the party was discovered to be bankrupt, and after promising to leave the city instantly, the doors of the city prison were thrown open on Saturday evening, since when they have not been seen. A bankrupt individual, giving his name as Lalor, and employed in assisting to excavate the vacant lot opposite the Opera House, was arrested three times on Friday and Saturday on the charge of violating the ordinances. At the third hearing he was given forty-eight hours in Mr. Ramey's Penitentiary. A couple of juveniles were arrested on Wednesday last on a charge of stealing some fifteen dollars from the till of the News Depot of H. Fettinger & Son. The money was all recovered but about thirty cents, and the boys were locked up for twelve hours. A party of six boys and two inebriated men were having a jolly good time over at the reservoir on Sunday evening. The appearance of the Mayor was necessary to check their boisterous proceedings. --------------------- Annie Whiteman PABlair Rootsweb List Administrator Annie Whiteman/Steve Patz Blair County Coordinators http://www.rootsweb.com/~pablair
