Ap esteemed correspondent writing from High Valley says: The corn in our valley looks fairly well and with the rain of this week will tarn out a partial crop. Work here is scarce and people are won- dering where the good times are that were promised by the Republicans last fall. But that is the same old game the Republican party works on the voters every year, and men are fools enough to go to the polls and vote the very bread and butter out of their own and their children’s mouths. Every- thing now is so high that a poor man has a bard time getting enough to live on, and with that the tariff and taxes are being in- creased to pay a lot of would-be statesmen at Washington. Such is Taft prosperity. Found $50,000 In Beggar's Hut. After a terrific battle between four policemen and Peter Liebauch, an old | ‘hermit, inspectors Of the Narth Sido station in Pittsburg, while they were ‘gearching the old man’s hut, found the walls and furniture bulging with money. A trunk was filled with silver dollars, bottles and jars held smaller ‘coins, bureau drawers were stuffed ‘with bundles of bills, In all the police found close to $50, 000, and when their search seemed to | be ended they stumbled upon a,wash- ‘boiler filled to the brim with quitters, | ‘half dollars and dollars. ~ Liebauch was locked up and will be ‘examined to determine the condition of his mind. He is thought to be de- mented. The money was hauled to the Farmers’ National bank in a wagon, and so heavy was the load that the horse was stalled. Shoots Juror In Revenge. James McSorley, a former Coney Island hotel keeper, who completed a prison sentence only a few days ago, went to Middletown, N. Y., to square matters with Daniel E. Fenton, pro- prietor of the Hotel Elberton, the man he believed responsible, for his convic- tion. Both McSorney and Fenton are dead. McSorley met Fenton on a crowded street corner. Without even withdraw- ing his pistol hand from the coat | pocket in which he clutched the wea- pon, he fired three shots, each of which took effect. Then, seeing that his old enemy was done for, he re moved the pistol from his pocket and | fired two bullets into his brain. Fen- ton was still conscious when by- standers ran up, and he was rushed to a hospital, where he died a few hours | later. McSorley died in the street. | Van Sant Heads the G. A. R. Samuel R.

Thirty-five Horses Burned. Thirty-five horses were roasted to death in a fire which destroyed the building of the Potter Express com- pany in Camden, N. J. The building was three stories high, The first floor held twenty-five deliv- ery wagons, most of which were de stroyed. A runway with a gradual in- cline led to the second floor, and the horses were stabled there. Frank Taines, a watchman, was on the sta ble floor, when he smelled smoke. He investigated and found flames shoot- ing up the runway and cutting off all chances of escape for the horses. He was slightly burned leaping down the runway to give the alarm.

The steamer Lucania lies at the Hus- kisson dock, seriously damaged, hav- ing been gutted from her funnels for- ward by fire, which broke out on board the liner Saturday evening. The flames are supposed to have originated in the saloon kitchen. The fire brigade of the vessel, with two powerful motor engines, turned out immediately at the first alarm and found the first saloon burning fiercely from end to end. Despite all their ef- forts the flames gradually worked for- ward until they reached the steerage. consuming every particle of the wood- work there and then played havoc with the forehold. At this time the heat was tremen- Jous, and the flames shooting high from the vessel attracted thousands of persons to the side of the river, where they remained throughout the night. It was decided to flood the vessel by admitting water into her from the deck. Soon she keeled over and her funnels came in contact with the cranes on the dock and were badly damaged A half dozen firemen, who were on the gangway at this time, were thrown into the water, but all were rescued. A fleet of tugs then was brought into requisition, and pulled tho liner up- right and held her until she settled firmly on the mud bottom. It was hours later before the fire was under control and the fire brigade was able to relinquish fits task. The second class quarters and the whole after part of the boat, including the engine room, escaped injury from the flames, and comparatively little dam- age was done to the exterior of the vessel. Her upper part is considerably The first saloon sky- | above water. lights were destroyed and the decks forward are badly buckled. Some of the plates of the hull were warped by the heat. The repairs to the Lucania will occupy considerable time. Milton, Del.,, Swept By Flames. The town of Milton, in Sussex county, Del. about seven miles north. east of Georgetown, was visited by a destructive fire, of unknown origin. The fire started in the rear of Markel & Hartman's store, and practically de- | stroyed the entire business section of the town. The loss is estimated at | $100,000. The list of stores and other proper | ties destroyed is as follows: Markel & Hartman, store; W. P. Starkey, store; Mason & Davidson, store; postoffice, C. A. Conner, store; Black & Lingo, store; Carey & Darby, store; J. H. Walls, meat store; Hall & Stevens, store; Mary E. Field, store; First Na- tional bank Ponder house; W. H. Mears, barber shop and residence; J. B. Graham, residence; J. C. Clendan- iels, meat and provisions; 8. J. Wil son & Son, funeral directors. The burned section covers several blocks. The town, which has a population of about 1000, has no fire protection, and people worked with buckets until the arrival of a fire engine from Lewes. But the spread of the flames was not checked until nearly the en- tire business section was in ashes. Most of the buildings destroyed were of frame. Johnson and Jeffries Sign For Fight.

Monster Ordnance to Be Used on U. 8. Battleships. Philadelphia, Aug. 17.—Work is be- ing rushed at the Midvale Steel works on a 14-inch gun being built for use on the United States battleships.

Such guns have been made for coast defence, but they have not been considered fitted for battleships. and their use in this way will put the United States ahead of other nations in the power of her fighting ships. Orders have been re- ceived to rush the work so that ex- periments may be made with the gun. Giving Medals For Healthy Babies.
