Items From the Lancaster Intelligencer, Tuesday, March 9, 1897


VOGANVILLE AND VICINITY

S. E. Ream has received orders for a large lot of solid Havana cigars, selling 
at $75 per thousand.

The grip is very prevalent through this section.

A small boy of Mr. William Messner, living several miles north from here, is 
dangerously ill with diphtheria.

The directors of Earl will convene the last Saturday in March, instead of the 
first Saturday in April.

The schools will mostly all close before April 1st.

G. W. Myers was confined to his house with grip.

A small child of Isaac Sheaffer, son of Isaac H. Sheaffer, was buried at New 
Holland on Saturday.  Mr. Sheaffer, jr., is a clerk in a Philadelphia store.

A number of dogs which showed symptoms of hydrophobia were killed by our 
farmers.


LONG WALK TO A HEARING.

Mike Burke, who two weeks ago stole a suit of clothing from John Gardner, of 
Andrew's Bridge, while the two were taking in the city by night, had a hearing 
before Alderman Dean this morning.  In default of bail he was sent to jail for 
trial at court.  Gardner is a poor man and he walked all the way from home to 
this city, arriving here at 5 o'clock this morning.


STOLE THEIR FURNITURE.

John Arnold and Jacob Myers have been presented by Joel L. Haines before 
Alderman Halbach for larceny.  They rented a house from the presecutor and 
failed to pay the rent.  A landlord's warrant was issued and their furniture 
levied upon.  After the levy and before the time designated for the sale they 
removed the goods.  The accused entered bail for trial at the April term of 
court.


RETURNED TO COURT.

Michael Koellisch and wife have been prosecuted before Alderman Nehr on the 
charge of surety of the peace preferred by George Warner, of Manor street, who 
says that they threatened to kill him.  The case was returned to court.


HE WAS TOO SAUCY.

Howard Kent was up before Alderman Nehr last evening on the charge of drunken 
and disorderly conduct on complaint of Mrs. May Jane Book, an Amasonian colored 
woman of Faegleysville.  The evidence showed that Kent was insulting and 
offensive to Mrs. Book and for that he was given 24 hours among the bums in the 
large and filthy pen.


CHARITABLE BEQUESTS.

The will of Lavina Eckert, of Paradise township, has been admitted for probate.  
In her will she bequeathes $1,000 to Roland church, but in her codicil she 
states that as she has given $100 since she made her will she bequeathes only 
$900 to the church.  She gave $1,000 in her will, the interest to be applied to 
keeping in repair the graveyard on the line of Paradise and Leacock townships, 
where her father is buried; but as she gave $500 since her will was made she 
reduces the legacy to $500.


LOCAL PERSONALS.

Mrs. Thomas F. McElligott, jr, is visiting her aunt in West Philadelphia.

Miss Mathilde B. Avery returned to her home in Cleveland after a visit to Miss 
Mary Mercur Eshleman.
