“Jack the Peeper.”
A Midnight Miscreant Who has Terror-
ized Elizabethport.
Evizasern, N. J., Aug. 12.—-Not in
years have the usually sedate people of
Elizabeth been so worked up as they
have been for the past five months by
the outrages perpetrated by the prowler
who is known by the names of “Peeping
Tom” or “Jack the Peeper.” This mys-
terious character seems to delight in en-
tering women’s sleeping apartments at
night and rousing the occupants. So
persistent has he been of late that it
seems as if he had no fear of the police
or anybody else, for that matter.
ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.
Daniel Cobb, aged 30, has been arrest-
ed by order of Chief of Police Austin
and locked in a cell at police headquart-
ers on suspicion of being the miscreant
so much feared. The chief refused to
say what evidence he had against Cobb
and would not permit the prisoner to be
interviewed. Cobb has been in jail
several times already, and uppears very
nervous over the result in this case. He
will be confronted by several of the
women whose apartments have been in-
vaded. :
A VICTIM FRIGHTENED To DEATH.
Among the recent nocturnal adven-
tures the one that perhaps was the’ most
daring, and the consequences of which
have been the most serious, if the vie-
tim’s friends are to be believed, was his
entrance into the bedroom of Mrs. John
McCarthy, who was very ill with con-
sumption. It is asserted that the shock
she received on that occasion greatly
hastened her death. While ‘the physi-
cian attending her will not express any
opinion on the matter, there is little
doubt that the woman's enfeebled sys-
tem received a shock sufficient to cause
the change that rapidly followed and re-
sulted in her death.
ANOTHER SERIOUS CASE,
Miss Emma Weisloger, of Marshall
street, a saleswoman in Herch’s dry
goods emporium, is still confined to her
home from prostration caused by the
shock she received when she discovered
the man at her bedside. He grabbed
her by the arm, shoved his pistol in her
face and threatened her with death if
she made any outery. The girl screamed
and went into hysterics. The man, after
locking the door against her father and
mother, escaped by dropping from a
window.
THIRTY-FIVE DWELLINGS ENTERED.
So great is the terror among the fe-
male portion of the community by the
Peepers exploits that no woman dares
to venture out late at night without an
escort, nor for that matter to remain
alone in the house. Little confidence is
placed in the ability of the police to
solve the mystery which surrounds the
unknown miscreant, who has so far en-
tered about thirty-five dwellings, princi-
pally at Elizabethport, since he began
his campaign against the peace of the
community, avd the question which is
uppermost in the minds of the people is
where Lie will turn up next. A curious
feature of his visits is that nothing is
ever missed after his departure, showing | around tha river
clearly that robbery is not his motive.
[rE A——
The Vanderbilt Purchase of the Beech
Creek Railroad.
The statement that the Vanderbilts
had bought out the minority stockhol-
ders in the Beech Creek Coal Company
was authoritatively denied yesterday.
The Vanderbiits, however, have bought
something, but it is not the coal com-
pany. It is the Beech Creek railroad
itself, in which they formerly held a
controlling interest but which they now
own almost alone. By their purchase
the Vanderbilts have put the Beech
Creek in the same position that the
South Penn is in. To all intents and
purposes both companies are owned
bodily by the Vanderbilt family who
are carrying out the deal made by their
father with the Pennsylvania Railroad
just four years ago.
The capital stock of the Beech Creck
Company is $1,300,000 of preferred
shares and $3,700,000 of common. The
Vanderbilts owned about 55 per cent. of
both classes and they have paid about
$1,100,000 in cash for the holdings of
the minority stockholders. C.J. Lang-
don disbursed the money to the Penn-
sylvania holders.
Just what the Vanderbilts propose to
do with the property has not been dis-
closed as yet, but one effect of the deal
has already been felt. A regular howl
has gone up from all the coal shippers
who send their coal to consumers in
Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey
of a scarcity of cars. One operator who
ships largely over the Beech Creek road
said yesterday that he has orders on bis
books for two month’s production, and
is getting more orders every day, but
the railroad officials will not furnish him
the cars to fill even the most pressing de-
mands. All along the line the same
complaint is heard and the suspicion is
gaining ground that the scarcity of cars
1s due to the deliberate and intentional
action of the railroad officials, who are,
of course, prompted by the Vanderbilts.
It is row believed that,as far as possibly
can be dene, the Vanderbilts will stifle
competition with the Pennsylvania
Railroad and Baltimore and Ohio coal,
and will attempt to divert the tonnage
of the Beech Creek road to the Pine
Creek and other Vanderbilt lines. There
is a good market for ‘soft coal along the
New York Central road, and by turning
the traffic in that direction the whole re-
ceipts from the business will be kept in
the family. All this is very fine for the
Vanderbilts, but it is hard lines for the
roducers who have built up a trade in
iastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey
and have no desire to move their head-
quarters to some interior New York
town and build up a new trade there.—

Bold Altoona Villains.
Mys. Fleming Bound and Drugged by
Robbers.
Probably the boldust piece of villainy
ever perpetrated in Altoona took place
last Saturday evening about half-past
five o'clock. Mrs. Fleming, who lives
at the corner of Thirteenth avenue and
Twenty-Second street, at the above men-
tioned hour was alone in the upper story
of the house.
Her husband was absent in Hollidays-
burg and her little son was sent out fqr
groceries. Hearing a knock at the door,
she went down and found two men stand-
ing there, who demanded what money
was in the house. On her protesting that
there was none in the house, one of the
men struck her on the forehead and
knocked her down, swearing that she
lied.
After knocking her down, both men
jumped into the hall and carried her to
the parlor where they tied her hands and
feet and poured something down her
throat-from a bottle. At this moment,
somebody knocked at the front door,
which had been shut and locked, and
one of the robbers drew a revolver,
cocked it, and placed it at her head, de-
claring that be would blow her brains
out if she would moved or make any
noise. The person who knocked on the
door soon left and one of the men start-
ed up stairs, leaving the other one to
guard the woman. After a time, the one
who was in the upper story whistled to
his partner who left the prostrated lady
and started back through the house. |
Soon after, her son came back and found
his mother lying bounu and unconscious
on the floor. The terrified boy ran into
the strect and called a colored man who
was the only person in sight. He went
into the house and searched all the rooms
but could find no robbers. The hospital
ambulance was called to remove Mrs.
Flemming, but a telephone message
from her husband in Hollidaysburg, in-
structed them to keep her at home. Dr.
Ross was summoned and found the lady
was competely prostrated by fright.
Her cloths were also torn into shreds,
showing that she had made a desperate
struggle to free herself from the villains.
Nothing was taken but a pocket book of
Mrs. Fleming's, containing some small
change. The police are making: dili-
gent search for the robbers, but no trace
of them has as yet been found. Both
men were dressed in black suits and
one was rather tall and wore a light
hat.
There is a possibility that Mrs. Flem-
ing will not recover from the effects of
fright.
A Logman’s Romance.
Marries the Maiden Who Saved
Him from the Flood.
He
HARRISBURG, Aug. 12. —John Prow-
ley, a young fisherman whose good na-
tured habits have made him popular for
many miles along the Susquehanna
river, walked into the Perry county
court house the other day and asked for
a marriage license. His face was not so
brown that it did not betray his blushes
when he announced the name of his
prospective bride, but it was not because
she had ever been guilty of a wrongdo-
ing that he flushed. The girl was Mary
Yerger, and he was very proud of her.
They had lived within ten miles of each
other for years, but it was not until the
recent great flood in Pennsylvania that
they were brought to an acquaintance.
THE LOG CATCHER,
John is a carpenter’s son, and he in-
dustriously aided his father to provide
for a large family by fishing and pilot-
ing fishing parties from the big towns
Most of his time was
spentalong the Susquehanna, near which
his parents lived. :
When the June flood came, people
from all parts of the country hurried to
the river to see thesights. Mary Yerger
and a boy, son of the farmer with whom
she lived, loitered onthe waters edge
until dusk of the day when the water
had reached its hightest mark. Few per-
sons had tarried so long but she and the
boy forgot the time while looking out
on the swift waters at a boem log
catcher. He was standing in a frail
skiff, hooking the big booms with a long
pole and towing them to land on the op-
posite side of the river. Boom after
boom was thus secured, and he operated
with such vigorous regularity that it
seemed his strength would soon be ex-
hausted-
OVERWHELMED BY THE CURRENT.
He had just landed one. of unusual
size which took all his strength, and
Mary thought he would rest a while be-
fore going out into the troublesome
waters again. But he didn’t, and wip-
ing the perspiration from his brow with
a part of his torn shirt sleeve, he quickly
rowed out and was headed toward a
large walnut log. Before he reached the
coveted prize his boat had been caught
between a mass of the booms, which
ground it to pieces like a thing of glass.
He escaped most miraculously from in-
stant death by climbing over the logs
and reaching the water. He tried to
swim for the shore, but it was plainly
seen that he was fo much overcome to
get even half the distance. The current
was swift, and he was beginning to go
down with it.
THE MAIDEN TO THE RESCUE,
Mary Yerger knew thdt he would
drown unless she saved him, for nobody
else was in sight. It was a perilous at-
tempt, but she did not hesitate. She
was not the kind of a woman to see a hu-
man life thus sacificed without at least
an effort to recue, and with almost sup- |
erhuman strength she dragged into the
water a rowboat that had been pulled up
on elevated ground safe from the rising
was sonearly exhausted that he could not |
climb into the boat without her assis-
tance.
It was with a proud satisfaction that
John related this circumstance while the
clerk was filling out his marriage license.
John and Mary are married now, and
they expect to get a pretty good start
toward housekeeping when the Lumber-
men’s exchange of Williamsport pays
for the logs which John caught.
The Woolen Men's Folly.
ing the fruits of their folly. They voted
for highly-protected raw materials and
now they are attempting to compete
with foreigners whose governments ad-
mit wools and all other raw articles du-
ty free. The failure of Lewis Brothers
& Co., whose once large capital has been
swallowed up by advances to mills ran
on the protection theory shows the utter
fallacy of that doctrine. Acting on the
principle that the only requisite to suc-
cess was a high duty on foreign woolen
fabrics, they bought wool at extravagant
prices. In fact, they were compelled to
do so because American wool growers
are protected from 50 to 100 per cent.
And when, as was too often the case,
|
t
their goods failed to find a ready sale be-
cause of a reckless overproduction, com-
mission agents, who had advanced more
than they were worth, forced them on
the marketat the best prices obtainable.
As a consequence Lewis Brothers & Co.
were wrecked in their efforts to sustain
- a lot of mills whose managers were un-
fit for their positions. Nor were the
Lewis Brothers the only parties who
have shared a similar fate. We have on-
ly to glance backa short time to find
numerous examples, including the great
house of Brown, Wood & Kingman,
who, finding that they were compelled to
either liquidate or continue a short time
and fail, wisely chose the former. The
situation of cotton goods is betier, be-
cause the raw material is exclusively of
American growth, and being of better
quality than is praguesd anywhere in
the world, it asks for no protection.—

teen cars loaded with anthracite coal
were precipitated into the river. The

season: Some young ladies were out
after berries and sat down in the shade
of a tree to rest, when one of them ob-
served what she supposed to be a black
and withered limb on the tree under
which they were reposing. On closer
observation, however, the terrified girls
discovered it was a blacksnake of mon-
strous size and proportion, which had
curled his tail around the body of the
tree and was only extending his head
that he might observe the the contents
of the lunch baskets. A young gentle-
man approaching the retreat of the horri-
fied maidens, produced a pocket pistol
and succeeded in destroying the mon-
ster, a dissection of which showed that
he had swallowed a coppedhead and a
rattlesnake, both of which were alive.
The latter had twenty-three rattles.
The destroyed reptile was thirteen feet
long. The brand of whiskey used by
the young gentleman is unknown.

Talk about grand lawn parties, but if there is
any one can get up a better or more stylish one
than that gotten up by Miss Mary Jones, at her
home on North Front street, the other nights
we would like to see it. It was decidedly the
grandest lawn party ever gotten up in Philips-
burg. A large platform was erected at the
side of the house, and lights of numerous col-
ors brilliantly illuminated the large yard,
which caused everything to show off to profec-
tion. Dancing was the principal amusement
At half-past eleven o'clock refreshments were
served, and it was almost two o'clock before
the merry crowd separated for the night.
A strike of the miners at Coaldale colliery
was threatened last week, but everything was
adjusted satisfactorily before the trouble could
come to much of a headway. This we are glad
to note. We don’t want any more strikes only
when it becomes absolutely necessary. To
strike at this time means misery and perhaps
starvation with the miners and their families.
During the past couple of weeks the coal
trade has picked up wonderfully, and although
the operators are not yet supplied with a sufii-
cient number of cars needed to fill their orders,
yet they have had more cars during the last
two weeks than usual, and consequently the
miner has more work. More work means
more money in their pockets; more money in
their pockets means a revival of business in
general. Last Saturday was pay-day at most
of the banks in the Philipsburg district, and
the streets and stores of our town were crowd-
ed more that day and evening than we have
seen them for many, many days. The miner,
who has been owing store bills for a year or
more, came up to thosz whom he owed and
squared their bills. Of course we don’t say
that they all did this, but those of an honest,
upright character showed that they were men
enough to pay those who trusted them in
their hour of need. Like many other com-
munities, Philipshurg has her share of rascals
and rogues, and we know of quite a number of
men who made big money,but if they have an
opportunity to cheat and act the raseal, they
do it mighty quick.

To Builders and Those Who Contem-
plate Building.
One of the most useful publications for build-
ers and persons contemplating building is the
beautifully illustrated Architect and Builder
edition of the Scientific American, published
monthly by Munn & Co., the celebrated Pat-
ent Solicitors, at 361 Broadway, New York.
It has become the custom for most of the
builders in the United States and Canada to
keep on file this publication, not only for their
own benefit, but for the use of their customers»
and they find business promoted by so doing,
A great variety of dwelling houses, costing
from a few hundred to several thousand dol-
lars, are illustrated in each monthly number,
besides a double page printed in colors, repre-
senting one or more handsome residences al-
ready built. After the design for the eleva-
tion or style of the house has been selected,
Fuilders are enabled to give a close estimate
of the cost of construction,as the working
plans accompany the elevation. Most persons
contemplating the building of a house or sta-
ble for their own use derive both pleasure and
side, various designs and plans which may
come before them. To enablea person to
come to a wise conclusion in such an impor-
tant matter as building a home for his family,
he will be wise if he brings the subject before
his entire household, and studies carefully
over in the domestic circle the style of house
and the interior arrangements. It not only
affords great pleasure to the entire family to
be considered in the matter, but good sugges-
tions will come from it,.and mistakes will be
less likely tooceur in the selection. By all
means consult the wife and grown-up daugh-
ters, if so fortunate as to have them, and to
this end everybody who contemplates building
should provide himself with a complete file of
the Architect and Builders Edition of the
Scientific American; some forty numbers, and
then he will have at hand not only the best
material to select his design from, but he will
also find the publication useful and profitable
to refer to while the building is being construet,
ed. Ifa person does not find the design for a
house, or other structure he contemplates
building, that suits his fancy, or the estimate
of the cost is too great, in a single number of
the publication, he will be very sure to find in
some one of the other nnmbers something that
will suit both his fancy and purse. Hundreds
of dwellings have been erected on the plans
that have appeared in this publication, and
any person who contemplates building, or who
wishes to alter, improve, extend, or add to
existing buildings, whether wings, porches,
bay windows, or attic rooms, will be pretty sure
to find what he wants in the Scientific Ameri-
can Architect and Builder, which is publish-
ed on the first of each month, at the office of
the Scientific American, 361 Broadway. Sub-
scription price, $2.50 a year, 12 numbers. Sin-
gle copies 25 cents. Back volumes of 6 num-
bers, in flexible covers, in imitation of Turkey

geologizing, boating and the making of wild

on out-of-doors also, The number is largely
written by travelers and sight-seers. “Camp-

“Fishing in Tweed and Yarrow,” and all of ex-

Then there is a touching melodious ballad by
Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spoftord, ofthat saddest
journeyer, John Howard Payne, the author of
“Home, Sweet Home.” The story-element is
of fine quality. In the Peppers serial a myste-

Pepper; and in “Sybil Fair's Fairness” young
Mr. Harvard turns out pretty well, after all.
“Gul Baba, ¢ Father of Roses,’” one of the best
of the folk-tales of Hungary, “How Long Pond
Ran Away,” describes a disaster in Vermont
many years ago singularly like the Conemaugh
flood. “Bin” is a charming story, sweet and
piquant and pathetic. “Tim Faraday and the
Two Auroras” is an amusing political story.
The poems of the number are by Edith M.
Thomas, Joel Benton, Mrs. Whiton Stone and
Mrs Harriet Prescott Spofford. “Men and

“The Court Calendar,” by L. J. Bridgman, is
very amusing this month. $2.40a year. D-
