The Tribune, Hastings, PA, FRI 7 DEC 1894, VOL. VI, NO. 46 Page 1, Column 2 Court in Session. The regular December term of court began at Ebensburg on Monday morning, Judge Barker occupying the Bench. The term prmises(sic) to be the longest held in the county for years, as the criminal and civil lists are both exceptionally large. The time of the court on Monday was taken up in hearing motions and petitions presented by the members of the Bar. Lizzie Thompson proprietress of a palatial bawdy house in Johnstown was acquitted of a charge of selling liquor without a license, but ordered to pay the costs. The grand jury ignored the bill against Hiram Webb, for malicious mischief, and ordered the prosecutor, Daniel Allison, to pay the costs. Daniel had not the necessary cash about his clothes, and his credit was not good for the amount, so at present he is in jail. Jacob F. Smith was found guilty of assault and battery on his wife. Not yet sentenced. Samuel Snyder was found guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary one year and three months for receiving stolen goods. Harry Saylor pleaded guilty to larceny. William Yeager pleaded guilty to receiving stolen goods, and was sentenced to jail for ninety days from October 18th. A number of cases have been settled, including that of J. D. Ritter vs D. E. Notley. In the case of a road in Allegheny Township, an order to open the proceedings was refused and the costs put on the petitioners, except for remonstrances, depositors and their witnesses. - - - Reception at Barnesboro. Some time since Dr. J. Sloan Miller, of Barnesboro, was married to Miss Katie Hauk, of Purchase Line, Indiana County. The young lady's parents objected to her marriage on account of her youth, but the couple surmounted this difficulty by a quiet trip to Canada. On their return the people of Barnesboro, among whom the Doctor is very popular, gave them a magnificent reception at the Ritter House at which about forty couples of the most prominent society people of Northern Cambria were present. The reception was held on Monday night, and was a great social success. Dr. Rice and wife were among the guests from this place. - - - Work of a Sharper. The Second National bank of Altoona, which only recently reopened after having lost $100,000 through the peculations of the cashier, was victimized against last week out of $1,188 by a clever sharper. On Friday last a man giving the name of "Brown" deposited a New York draft for $1,200 in the bank. On Saturday he returned and stated that he could get 3 per cent interest on the money at another bank and that he would like to have it. The cashier paid him out $1,200 in cash and the man disappeared and has not since been seen. The draft was returned with the information that it was good for only $12 and that it had been very cleverly raised to $1,200. - - - Married. In St. Bernard's church, this place, on Thursday of last week, Mr. John McQueeney and Miss Maggie Nagle were united in marriage by Rev. Father Edwin, the pastor. The attendants were Mr. Milton Kirkpatrick and Miss Annie McQueeney. Both of the young people are well-known and esteemed, and they start out in life with the best wishes of a host of friends, among whom the TRIBUNE offers its congratulations, and hopes that their pathway may be smooth pleasant. - - - Notice. I still have quite a number of unsettled book accounts of the firm of Yothers & McNelis. All accounts not settled by December 1st, will likely be sold at auction to the highest bidder some time during the month of December. R. J. YOTHERS. 10-26-1m
