STARVING ON HIGHWAY Utterly exhausted and without money or food, Mrs. Mary WILSON, aged 89 years, was found near Pottstown, on Wednesday. The aged woman had slept two nights with no shelter but trees. A week ago Mrs. WILSON whose home is at Carlise, had gone to Philadelphia to attend the funeral of her only daughter. All her money but 30 cents was used in paying the expenses of the funeral, she was therefore unable to pay her passage home. She decided to take a trolley and go as far as her money would take her and then walk the remaining distance. On coming to Collegeville, on Monday, she was stranded as her money had all been used. Following country roads and sleeping under trees at night for two days, she was found near Pottstown, on Wednesday, soaked to the skin from the rains of the preceeding night, and almost famished with hunger. Some charitable persons fed and clothed her and sent her to her home at Carlisle. NEGRO'S ODOR FREES HIM Track THOMPSON, a colored tramp, was sent to jail for thirty days at Wilkes-barre on Thursday last and was released next day because the prisoners, guards, keepers and warden objected to the vagrant's odor. He was turned into the bath tub without result. Prisoners in adjoining cells said the odor made them sick, and finally Assistant District Attorney SALSBURG had the prisoner taken before Judge HALSEY, who quickly discharged him. THOMPSON gleefully declared that he contracted the scent in a soap factory. SHOWER BATH OF MOLASSES During a heavy thunder shower last Friday forenoon a bolt of lightning entered a window of Weaver's grocery store at Easton and played havock among the canned goods on the shelves. A can of molasses was split exactly in half and, the contents spilled over the head of Mr. Isiah COTTRILL, a clerk. He did not realize what had occurred until the sticky liquid ran from the bushy recesses of the hair of his head, and dripped down over his shoulders. VETERINARIAN LOCATES IN TOWN Dr. A.L.
