Tha peokagee ware oonnted and reported to beeoneot in every particular before leaving the bureau. On reaching tha Treasurer's offioa they were again oonnted and reported oorrect. The no tee are all oompletad with the exception of being item pad with the Treaeor y seal, and when that ia added they are ready for iaane. After the package* m question had been verified at the Treasurer's offloe they were tamed over to the sealing division for completion. They were oonnted there and fonnd to be ehort ten sheets. These were numbered in regular order and were in the middle of a package. The officer in oharge of the divieion refused to receipt for theee sheets, and word was eent to th e borean for an explanation. A thorongh investigation was instituted, and although two days have passed no traoe whatever of the missing sheets have been discovered, While it is possible that the sheets were mislaid ar.d may be recovered, it is more than probable that they were abetracted by some one familiar witn the method of handling them. The notes will readily pass for money for they lac k only the Treasury seal. W-Oflee with Hon.TA. C. White. ATTORNSY-AT-LA W, Bbooiyilli, Pa. JOHN W. BELL, Q C.

She was at the residence of William Peters, No, 1901 South Broad street, Shortly after an interview had began between Mr. and Mrs. Root the conversation was interrupted by the report of a pistol shot. Mr. Peters ran into the room and fonnd Root lying on the floor badly wounded in the breast. He waa carried to the hospital at onoe. It is hardly possible that he will survive, so, yesterday he made his ante mortem statement of the shooting. The strange part of the ooourrenoe is that the husband and wife disagree as to who inflicted the wound. Mrs. Root says she shot her husband bnt he says he shot himself. Mrs. Peters, who overheard the quarrel, heard Root eall his wife vile names and aocnsed her of nnfaithfnlness to him and heard h er than ery: "If yon say so again I'll shoot Immediately there followed the pistol shot. Boot says that his wile drew a pistol from her bosom and threatened to shoot and that he grabbed the pistol. In the senffle for the possession he fired it and shothimself above the heart. On this aocount Boot re fuses to prefer a charge against Mrs. Boot. Mis. Boot was taken to the hospital to see him. The eoene between them wss very mournful and the parting was exceedingly affectionate. The dying man said to his wife that he had shot himself, and he asked her not to think that she had done it. After a final embrace Mrs. Boot was led from the room and taken to prison, where she will await developments. JAB. 8. B. HAMILTON, rMTMICLiX AXD SUMO*ON, FHUmWIT, PA (Mm la dweUla*.

Louisviujc, Kt., Deo. 6.—An effort was made last night to arrest Harrison Hogan,a wealthy farmer, three miles above Jeffersonville, Ind., on a warrant sworn oat by his divorced wife. He took refuge on a flat-boat in the river, where he had a barricade well stooked with arms and ammunition and defied Deputy Sheriffs Llnck and Howell. A fight eturned, Hoga n using a shot gun, firing through loop-holes in his barricade, and the offloers their revolvers from a drift pile on the bank. At night they went into the woods on the bank for continuation. Hogan got quietly ashore and surprised them with a shot into a dump of busbee where they were bniiding a fire. They took refuge behind trees and the fight continued nntll Hogan got the drop on Howell, when an armistice was agreed npon. The offloers returned to Jeffersonville and a party of fonr were sent out to make the arrest. They had not succeeded at last accounts. The round-trip rate from Cresgon will be $7.40.

ALTMAW, MTUCIJJr AVD MUMOMOir, Pa., Deo. 6.—On Tues- lay evening Frank Root oalled to see his wife, Julia,with whom he has n>t been living lately because of disagreement. She was at the residence of William Peters, No, 1901 South Broad street, Shortly after an interview had began between Mr. and Mrs. Root the conversation was interrupted by the report of a pistol shot. Mr. Peters ran into the room and fonnd Root lying on the floor badly wounded in the breast. He waa carried to the hospital at onoe. It is hardly possible that he will survive, so, yesterday he made his ante mortem statement of the shooting. The strange part of the ooourrenoe is that the husband and wife disagree as to who inflicted the wound. Mrs. Root says she shot her husband bnt he says he shot himself. Mrs. Peters, who overheard the quarrel, heard Root eall his wife vile names and aocnsed her of nnfaithfnlness to him and heard h er than ery: "If yon say so again I'll shoot Immediately there followed the pistol shot. Boot says that his wile drew a pistol from her bosom and threatened to shoot and that he grabbed the pistol. In the senffle for the possession he fired it and shothimself above the heart. On this aocount Boot re fuses to prefer a charge against Mrs. Boot. Mis. Boot was taken to the hospital to see him. The eoene between them wss very mournful and the parting was exceedingly affectionate. The dying man said to his wife that he had shot himself, and he asked her not to think that she had done it. After a final embrace Mrs. Boot was led from the room and taken to prison, where she will await developments. JAB. 8. B. HAMILTON, rMTMICLiX AXD SUMO*ON, FHUmWIT, PA (Mm la dweUla*.
