£50,000 Package Stolen.

Express Messenger and Special Guard Under |
Surveillance—Both Stoutly Maintain Their In- |
nocence—An All Around Mystery, Although
Detectives Seem to Be Working on a Clew.
St Louis, Oct. 17.—An express pack-
age containirg $50,000 was recently
delivered to the American Express
Company by a New York bank for
shipment to New Orleans. The money
was placed in a safe, and, accompanied
by special guard Korzendorfer, the
money should have come to St. Louis,
but whether it reached here or not is a
mystery. and whether it was lost be-
tween St. Louis and New Orleans, its
destination, is yet to be developed.
For once the express officials are puz-
zled, Korzendorfer carnot explain now
the package got away, and neither can
messenger Crawley, and both the spec-
ial guard and messenger have since been
under surveilance. This morning Kor-
zendorfer and Crawley were at the
Southern Hotel being interrogated by
detectives. What was done behind the
closed doors of the room in which the
well known process of inquiring into ex-
press robberies was conducted, will
probably never be given the public, but
something must have been ascertained,
for a reporter learned that a detective,
accompanied by Korzendorfer, would
leave St. Louis for New Orleans to-
night. It is therefore presumed that
the package must have been lost be-
ween St. Louis and New Orleans in-
stead of between New York and St.
Louis.
What puzzles the express officials and
their detectives is the frankness with
which Korzendorfer and Crawley make
their statements. It is said that at first
it was suspected that the, bills might
have been abstracted and ‘‘durnmies’”
substituted therefor. The New York
officials, so it is alleged, claim that this
was not the case. Messenger Crawley
professes to know absolutely nothing
about the special package of $50,000, al-
hough he is held jointly responsible with
Korzendorfer tor the same.

Burned His Whisky.
Streets of Lancaster Flooded With Liquor on
Account of a Big Fire.
LANCASTER, Pa., Oct. 17.—At an
early hour this morning the bonded
warehouse of Jacob Saffer, distiller, this
city, was completely destroyed by fire,
with a stock of 1,100 barrels of whisky
and other contents. The distilling and
other buildings near were saved by the
firemen. There was an insurance of
$10,000 on the warehouse and $40,000
on the contents, which will cover the
loss.
The fire was the work ot an incendiary
who placed straw saturated with coal
oilin different parts of the warehouse
and ran the whisky on the floor of the
buildings to the depth of several inches.
During the fire barrels of whisky ex-
ploded with terrible force and the liquor
ran down the street gutters in streams.
The owner of the properly is in

They Abolish Slavery.
Bolivia Shows Its Progressiveness by Passing a
Bill Freeing the Peons.
LonDoN, Oct. 17.—It is stated here
through a private source that the Legis-
lature of Bolivia has passed a bill abol-
ishing slavery in that country. "While
the peons have been practically free for
some time and the legislative enactment
is more a matter of form than the out
come of a crying demand, the fact is an
important one as showing the advances
in legislation and progressiveness of the
South American republics.
Col. McClure Slowly Improving.
Colonel A. K. McClure editor of the
Philadelphia Z%mes has held his own
since Sunday, and has perhaps made a
slight gain. The beneficial effects of
the surgical operation are now appar-
ently permanent, the wounds are heal-
ing'and fever has subsided in a marked
degree. The chief anxiety on the part
of his medical attendants relates to the
condition of his kidneys which has
been serious on several occasions. He
is still very ill, but the physicians teel
hopeful as to the ultimate result.
Schools Needn’t Close on Election Days.
HARRISBURG, Oct. 16--One opinion

observed as holidays. Heholds that the
school boards throughout the state are
not required to close the schools on the
days designated as election days. On
the contrary, he urges them to keep
their schools in session on these days.

Or INTEREST To CATTLE OWNERS. —
An exchange publishes the following
decision on line fences which was ren-
dered at Pittsburg last week.
“Among the decisions handed down
by the supreme court at Pittsburg last
week was one relating to partition or
line fences. It has been held by many
eminent lawyers that when the fence
law of 1700 with regard to outside fen-
ces was repealed in 1889, that the act
of 1842, which required the erection of
line or partition fences, not being speci-
fied in the act, continued to remain a
law. On the other hand, lawyers of
high standing claimed that the act of
1700 was removed from the statute
books. But Judge McClure held that
the law of 1842 is valid and Judge Dean
has sustained him in his view, the point
of difference being where the supreme
court held that in the case of Barber vs.
Mensch that the defendant should have
seen that there was sufficient fencing to |
keep in his own cattle, notwithstanding
the fact that there had existed between
the litigants an agreement for each to
keep one half of the fence.
Hereafter then, according to Judge
Dean’s decision, a man who wishes to
pasture cattle must see that the whole
partition‘or line fence is sufficient to
keep his cattle on his own premises,
with the right to recover one-half of the
costs of the fence from-his adjoiner. In
other words, the supreme ‘court holds
that all agreements between parties for
the maintenance of one half by each will
not stand, and that the man who wishes
to pasture his cattle must see to it that
they do not damage his adjoiner. In
cases where you have already your half
under an agreement your only remedy
against your adjoiner, who refuses to
build his half, is to construct the fence
and then put viewers on under the act
of 1842 to recover the cost of your ad-
joiner’s half.”
Ox A Lone Tramp.—The Tyrone
Herald, of Wednesday, has the follow-
ing account of the arrival of a colored
pedestrian, at that place, who is just fin-
ishing up a tramp between New York
and Chicago :
“Edgar Allen Thomas, the young
mulatto, who is tramping the railroad
ties from New York to Chicago and re-
turn, arrived in Tyrone at 1:55 today.
He spent last night in Altoona, leaving
that city at 8 o’clock this morning.
Thomas's trip consists of two thousand
five hundred miles, and the New York
Athletic Club offers $2,600 to the person
who makes the journey in one hundred
and ten days. The pedestrian is not
allowed to ask for money, food, or
clothing, and neither is he allowed to
buy any. He is supposed to be cared
for by the sporiing people of the cities
| or towns he enters ; he is also not allow-
ed to carry money ; these are the condi-
tions given him by the Athletic Club,
and if be violates any of them the mon-
ey will not be given him. He must
tramp railroad ties the entire journey.
He started from New York on April
17th, walking to Chicago by way of
‘Washington and Cincinnati. On June
10th he arrived in the Windy city and
remained there nine weeks, leaving over
the Pennsylvania Railroad on August
15th on his return. Thus far he has
lost two weeks through sickness. He
bas been treated royally in some cities)
and at his reception at Chicago and Pitts-
burg he says he forgot himself and
thought he was king of the Sandwich
Islands, on' account of the courtesies
shown him at those places. He left
Pittsburg ten days ago.
He carrier a little memorandum book
with him, and every signal tower and
station he arrives at he has the operator
and agent write the name of the place,
time and date at which he arrived,
which is done in order to show the Ath-
letic club he has been doing things
on the square. After he arrives in New
York heintends writing a book describ-
ing his journey. ‘He carries with him
newspapers containing items published
concerning his arrival at many places,
and be intends mentioning them in his
book.”

Or INTEREST TO RASPBERRY GROW-
Ers.—The newspaper bulletins which
the Pennsylvania State College Ex-
periment Station seud out, giving the
readers of State papers an idea of
the work that is going on in the labora-
tories at the institution, are of growing
interest to our readers and we take
pleasure in publishing the latest issue,
which deals with culture and produc-
tiveness of the various varieties of rasp-
berries.
The following is the report of the
Horticulturist of the Station, Mr. George
C. Butz, upon the Seasons result with
raspberries.
It is an easy matter to secure
enough raspberries for home ase
from a few plants, little regard being
paid to the selection of variety or loca-
tion of the bushes in the garden. He
who grows for the market, however,
will profit by a little attention to the
kinds of berries he produces. In color
he may bave yellow, red, purple and
black, and in Pennsylvania he will
find that none of them will require win-
ter protection. For yellow, the Caroline
and Brinkle Orange are very profitable
berries. For red, the Marlboro, Cuth-
bert and Rancocas. For purple, Shaffer's
Colossal, and for black the Souhegan,.
Mammoth Cluster and Ohio. These are
all well tested varieties which can be rec-
ommended for productiveness, covering
a period from June 20 to August 1, with
profitable pickings. New varieties ap-
pear each year and demand some atten-
tion from berry growers. Among these,
the following have been tested at this
station.
Ada. The plant is strong, with a
hairs on the fruit stems, the berry is not
large although the several drupes are
large making the berry rather soft, it is
in taste.
itself has little to recommend this va;
riety. n
Brackett's 101. A very vigorous:
plant with thorny stems; foliage slightly
attacked by rust. The berry is very
large, in fact the largest blackcap in’our
garden, the several drupes are large
with a rather firm substance that 1s
sweet and possessed of a good flavors
Another year is necessary to determine
its earliness and productiveness.
Qolumbian. The plants and berries
of this variety resemble Shaffer’s Colos-
sal.
ferent from the other raspberries, Col-
umbian is described by its originator,
Mr. J. T. Thompson, of Oneida, N. Y.
as a seedling of the Cuthbert grown near
the Gregg and therefore believed to be &
cross between the black and red raspber-
ries. It is a prolific bearer and a most
vigorous grower ; the canes this second
year from planting are erect and from 6
to 8 feet high, the berries are very large,
purple and in total yield there was
pearly twice the weight of berries from
the best red or black variety.
Older. The plants are vigorous with
light purple thorny stalks. The berries
are very large, round, and in color
range from purple to black. They are
quite soft, slightly acid and in flavor
cannot be considered excellent. It ri-
pens late and finishes early. Nothing
can be said of its bearing qualities at
this writing.
Smith's Prolific. Stout canes are pro-
duced by this plant and its fruit is
borne in large clusters. The berries
are very fine, being of medium size,
made up of small drupes which are very
black and sweet possessing a good flavor.
When the plants have made a good
stand they should produce a large yield
of fruit, which another season might
r prove to us.
Thompson's Early Prolific. The
principal merit claimed for this variety
is its earliness which was not marked in
this its first fruiting season with us,
Pickings were made continuously until
August 1. The berries are very large,
light red in color, with the prevailing
flavor of the red berries. Other new var-
ieties on trial bave not fruited sufficently
to merit notices.
In Memoriam.
Professor Josiah Jackson died, somewhat
suddenly and after a comparatively brief ill-
ness, at Chester, Pa., Oct. 10th, 1893.
We, the faculty of the Pennsylvania State
College, realize that there has gone from
among us a man whose strong individuality
was a force in the growth of the college;
whose warm, genial sympathies rendered his
friendship a peculiar treasure; who, during
long years of experience as a teacher, had en-
deared himself to the hearts of a large circle
of students.
We shall miss him in the management of
1 the college, from our social circles, but, more
than all else, from our hearts.
While, in this sudden removal from earth of
our beloved co-laborer and friend, we how
with loving submission to the Divine Will; we
share in the bereavement which has so sud-
| denly come upon the household, and extend
| to the afflicted wife and children our deepest
| sympathy, commending them to His care who
has said, “I will not leave you comfortless, I
will come to you.” Tre Facurry.

On last Tuesday morning Mrs. Wm. Mus,
ser, of our town, was carried from their apple
orchard having received serious injuries from
a fall from a ladder that gave way. It was at
first thought one of her limbs was broken, but
happily it proved to be a severe fracture
with which she is getting along nicely.

Mr. Musser has a reputation as a builder and

Dr. Ward, of Bellefonte, spent Sunday in
our town greeting old timers, besides casting
a weather eye about for “mine fraw”, who
evidently took the other end of the road, and as
our town is cut off from the outside world
from telephone communication the doctor
just had to sit and wait for the wife who never
came, but went home another way.
Rev. D. Y. Brouse and family are pleasantly
spending a week’s vacation among their
many friends here. On Sunday evening
last the reverend very ably filled the M.
E. pulpitand in his usual eloquent style held
hig hearers spell-bound. He is always re-
ceived with large audiences who gladly
greet him and wish him God's speed in
the service of the master.
On last Monday, while A.S. Walker, was
viewing the passing train at Lemont his team
of horses took fright and suddenly turned the
corner; in fact several corners were made and
several bridges crossed, making the first mile
on Nancy Hanks time, before Mr. Walker
realized what had happened. Fortunately
but little damage was done. However it would
be better to watch a fractious team in front
instead of from the rear.
