Local Glances Soda Water at Irwin's Drug Store The Excelsior Band will have another cake walk this evening in Rayme's Hall. S. C. Potts Camp, No. 12, Sons of veterans will picnic at Lloydsville, on Saturday next. Quite an interesting gathering took place last evening at the home of Miss Mary O'Donnell, No. 318 Third avenue. Four or five couple of her friends enjoyed a refreshing layout, and several pieces of vocal and instrumental music. after which the visitors wended their way homeward-11:30. Yesterday John Farabaugh, a workman in the employ of John Fraker, had a narrow escape from what might have been a serious injury. While employed in tinning a roof on the stable of S. M. Griffith, he lost is hold and fell to the ground, a distance of about thirty feet, a fortunately slighting landing on his feet, sustaining no injury. ------------------------- The Marriage Record Miller-Colburn At the Fifth Avenue Methodist Episcopal parsonage, on Tuesday evening, June 9, by Rev. R. H. Colburn, Mr. Martin R. Miller of Carlisle, Cumberland county, Pa. to Mrs. Lucretia Colburn, of Phillipsburg, Centre county, Pa., sister-in-law of the officiating clergyman. Mr. and Mrs. Miller left on the midnight train for Washington, D.C., followed by the best wishes of their many friends. Albright-Boult Mr. John S. Albright and Miss Lillian K. Boult were married in Roanoke, Va., on Saturday, June 6, at the Presbyterian parsonage by Rev. Dr. W. C. Campbell. The bride is a daughter of J. F. Boult, of this city. ------------------------------------------- Boy Shot in the Leg While bathing in the stream a short distance above Juniata yesterday afternoon a number of boys from this city and Juniata became involved in a quarrel. Among the boys from this city was one named Geesey, and it appears that when the fight started he was deserted by his friends and left to wage the battle alone, and being pressed hard, struck by a number of stones and somewhat frightened, he drew from his pocket a revolver. His opponents took this as a great joke and continued to make it warm for him when Geesey, it is stated, fired from his revolver, holding it toward the ground, but just as it exploded a boy named Funk rushed toward him and received the ball in the fleshy part of one of his legs. The boy, although not badly hurt, fell to the ground and made his escape with the crowd after him. Young Funk was taken to his home and it is not thought he is seriously injured. ---------------------------------- City Criminal Matters Last evening while on his beat on the East Side, officer Morgan saw two men who were acting in a rather suspicious manner, and also had in their possession a quantity of goods which they seemed anxious to keep from his gaze. He told them to halt, but instead of so doing they dropped their bundles and started off on a run, soon leaving him out of sight. He then gathered up what they had thrown away and took it to the Mayor's office, where an investigation showed that they were chisels, braces, bits and tools of various kinds, doubtless part of the plunder secured at the hardware of J. P. Dagenhart on Seventh avenue. Two common drunks were arrested by the officers last night. These were given a hearing before the Mayor this morning and upon the payment of the usual fine were released. Railroader Officer Hamlin arrested a boozy individual last night and placed him in the coop. Later on he got out by leaving security for a hearing this morning, but he failed to show up. E. H. Flick, esq., and Nicholas Behm have been arrested on the charge of malicious prosecution on oath of Charles A. Roush. This suit has grown out of the whisky cases lately before Alderman Rose. -------------------------------------- An Over-crowded Asylum Cumberland, Md.--June 13--The special session of the circuit court for Alleghany county was occupied in disposing of the lunacy cases of Henry Meyers and Miss Sarah Cunningham, of Lonaconing; Mrs. Louise Trenzell, of Barton, and Joseph H. Smith (colored) of Cumberland. The parties were all declared insane and sent to Sylvan Retreat. The disposal of four lunacy cases in one day is rather remarkable in Alleghany county. At the rate the asylum has been gaining inmates lately the institution will have to be enlarged. It is now overcrowded.
