Col. Jamison, J II. Mercer and T. Van

A great crowd gathered to v.itness the
sport, and the cross streets and alleys were

As he was let loose ho started up Main

The fox continued on up Normal hill, and
somo of tho horsemen and dogs went up

Near Neal's furnace Prothonotary Snyder's
horse stumbled, and the rider took a header
into the mud, aud then reluctantly gave up
the chase. The horsemen lost sight of tho
fox, and tho hounds fulled to catch it
Several dogs were wounded in going
through barbed dro fences. .Tho fox went
up along tho ridge, anil then went to the
river this side of the Halt Way house where
William Glger shot atShlm, but missed him

Mr. Swcnpenheiaer and his son were nfter

A Dubois, Pa., special says; John llott-
mas, agedsevouty yeats, lived nlone In a
mall house In Rockland township, Centre
county. Ho nlways kept 'several hundred
dollars secreted tn his house. Early FrU
day evening Bortmas heard a knock at his
door. Ho saw threo men heavily masked
standing on the step. They demanded on.
trance, and Bortmas got his shot gun nnd
fired nt them. Tho shot did not tako effect
and tho men broko tho door nnd knocked
tho old man down. They ordered him to
tell whero his money was hid, but ho re
fused.
They then put a rone around Ids nccx,
threw it over tho top of tho door and pull
ed tho old man off his feet by tho ropo
Tlioy hanged him In that way threo times,
but Bortmas stnbbornly kept tho secret of
his mo.cy. Although almost dead after
tho third lunging, tho men tcstorcd hi,n,
and then ono of them drew a long bladed
knife, and seizing Bortmas by the hair ho
Jerked his head back nnd placed the blado
at tho old man's throat. Bortmas told the
men to cut his throat, but he would not
glvo up tho money.
Fulling to terrorize tho old man, tho ruf
fians took a shovel full of llvo coals, one
of them holding It to tho soles of tho old
man's feet, while the other sat on his legs,
and so prevented his drawlne his feet
awny. llus torture was moro than Bort
mas could endure nnd ho begged for mercy
and told them whero tho money was. Th
robbers obtained $312, one-third of which
was gold. They did not bellevo that this
was all that Bortmas had, and resorted to
torture of tho coals to agxln forco him to
reveal the hiding plnco of the rest. Ho
protested under tho torture that ho had. no
more, nnd the robbers finally censed. Ty.
Ing Bortmas to a bedpost tho men went lu-
to tho kitchen whero they cooked them.

It was after 10 o'clock when they left and
people returning from a party heard Bortj
mas' cries nnd released him and no cluo to
the robbers has been obtained. Besides
the 312 they secured, Bortmas had
thousand dollars under the floor within

Five pistol shots hi quick succ csslon rang
outfrom n house in the eastern part of
Hopevllle. Luzerne Co., on Tuesday night
last week, and aroused its citizens, who
found Peter Kammack on tho floor with
the blood strenmin? from a bullet-wound
in his thigh, nnd not far oil his wife, bleed
ing from three different wounds- Tho
story told by tho m was that they were
awakened by a noise at tho window which
was made by a man wearing a black mask,
who jumped into the room holding a re
volver in ono hand and a large dirk in the
other. He Immediately opened tire, the
flist bullet hitting Kammack in the thigh
and the second lodging in the wall. The
next threo shots were fired at tho woman,
ono taking effect in tho arm and the other
two In her breast, inflicting serious if not
fatal wounds Tho woman attempted to
escape through a buck window, but beforo
she could accomplish it tho intruder was
upon her, cutting her in (a shocking man

Philadelphia, February 21. 1897,
Ask by letter lor samples, or
anything we have.
Not a time when you expect
big reductions in Spring gar
ments for ladies. You'll won
der more than ever when you
see the garments. Don't ask
for the why. He content to
know that the prices are way
down; how far down you can
best judge by seeing wnat other
dealers charge lor poorer goods.
New carpets. All the styles
of the season. Our assortment
of patterns and colorings in
every grade from Axminster to
Ingrains will be found larger than
ever before and our prices very
low for standard goods.
The ever liked Brussels in
seeming endless variety, and at
from i to $1.50 a yard. When
we say Brussels we do not
mean Tapestry ; they begin at
60 cents. Not easy to tell one
from other when down, or
when up for that matter, if a
careless looker. The Tapestry
backs may be color printed to
look like Brussels. Very likely
some of you have bought Tap
estry as Brussels. There are
low grade Brussels, too, that
you may think better than they
are. borne tricky dealers 11
tell you they're as good as any.
How can you be safe ? Don't
trust your eyes and ears alone ;
know the House you deal with.
Ingrains from 40 cents to $1
a yard.
Oil-cloths, too, should be
thoughtfully chosen. If you've
ever had the floor covered with
one piece you'll want no more
yard or two-yard-wide stuns
We have them up to 24 feet
wide, and they can be fitted to
the ins and outs and corners
of any room so as to make a
new tloor without a wrinkle or
a seam.
The silk and wools have won
their way. Much prejudice ;
but merit told. Slighted work
would have brought failure
There was no slighted work
The warp all silk ; the woof all
wool, and the two equally hne.
Good apart, the union of silk
and woqI as in Ulairette or
Convent Cloth or Henriette or
Gypsy Cloth, helps both. The
silk gives strength to the wool ;
the wool lends softness to the
silk. A mixed fabric without
any of the faults of mixed fabrics
The mixture helps rather than
hurts; it gives an added firmness
of texture, a bloom and a tree
dom from dust and soil peculiar
to itself. Not even the fault of
fading unevenly. These blacks
don't fade. Perfect blacks at
first, perfect to the end ten
years if you please ; they've
been tried. The English beat
the world in dying black.
Two new ones.
The Silk W arp Mourning Cloth,
fitted bv its cloth-like effect for
untrimmed costumes, to be worn
in deep mourning with crape
bonnet and vail. And the Silk
Warp Camel's-Hair Mourning
Cloth (to be known as Alys),
presenting the desired camel s
hair sunace and touch, anci
adapted to light mourning or
black costumes worn with colors
Hentlette, In 18 qualities, ranging (rora 75 cents
toil.
Clalrette, in 0 qualities, from tl to t'-'.
Convent Cloth, In 5 qualities, trom $1 to ti.
nvnar cloth. In 4 dualities, from tl 10 12.
Bilk Warp Mourning Cloth, In 6 qualities, from
ti.vs 10 jv..-u.
Alys, in 5 qualities, trom il.SO to KM.
What kind of a Light-weight
Overcoat for 57.fio? Better
than you think. Not all wool
but dressy and a good wearer,
Blue and diagonal, and made
with care in every part.
A notch higher, the io Mel
ton. Silk faced and in three
colors, brown, gray and d "ab,
We never before sold a coat of
this grade for less than $13.50
Up another peg and the Riv
erside Cheviot, bold last year
for $18; now $15 and not scrimp
ed in a single stitch.
Equally true of the $20 grade
in the same goods. And of the
Auburn Melton and the Vene
tian Cloth at $25.
More than a hnndred styles
of Spring ulster Cloths, Amen
can, English, French and Scotch
You must finger them to fully
feel their weight and worth. Al
wool, 54 in., $1.25 to $2.50.
The Reynier Suede gloves for
women have come. Can there
be anything better? A touch
like velvet, yet so durable ; sub

$1.50; 6 and 8 button Mousque

Tho following is worthy of the attention
ot every family from tho fact that It comes
from such a sourco as tho French Academy
of Medicine:
In a report to tho French Academy of
Medicine, Dr. Uclthcll stated that tho vapor
of liquid tar nnd turpentlno would dissolve
tho fibrinous tissues which choke up the
throat In croup and d'phthcrla. He descrlb-
cd tho process ot treatment as follows t
Take a tablcspoonful each of turpentine
and liquid tarj put them Into a tin pan or
cup, and set fire to tho mixture, taklnir caro
to have a larger pan under it as a safe
guard against the spread of the flames. A
dense, resinous smoke arises, making the
room dark. Tho patient Immediately
seems to experience relief; the choking and
rattlo stop; the patient falls Into a slumber
and seems to Inhale tho smoke with pleas
ure. Tho fibrinous membrnno soon be
comes detached, and tho patient coughs
up fibrin, in which, when caught on a glass,
tho microbes may be seen to dlssolvo In the
smoke. In tho cour60 of three days the
patient entirely recovers. This remedy
has proved successful In many Instances,
aiut householders everywhere should bear
It In mtnd. A prominent gentleman In
Clmrlestown, Mass , who applied the treat
ment to his own child, after tho sufferer
was given over ns Incurable by his family
physician, suggests that before burning
tho Ingredients named, all such articles as
would bo likely to be Injured by tha thick
smoko should be removed or covered up
closely.

SOME EXCELLENT I1ULES FOR I'ltEVENTINO WEAK
EYES AND l'llESEHVINtl SIGHT.
"Near slghtedness, weak eyes nnd blind
ness are increasing every year," said an
oculist, "and thero Is no necessity for It.
The eyes are more important to a person
than any member of the body, and but few
persons take proper cart of them. Of all
the senses with which the human body Is
Invested, the most peculiar In Its operation
is that of sight. Tho apparatus ot vision
Is more complicated in its structure than
that of any other of the special senses.
Some excellent rules for relieving or pre
venting weak Bight are. Rest the eyes for
a few moments when the sight becomes in
the least painful, blurred at d Indistinct,
Do not read during convalescence from
illness. Never read while lying down.
Never rend in the cars. Nover read small
print long nt a time. The light should
fall on tho book over the left side rather
from above the level of the .head. Take
plenty of sleep. Ten hours' sleep for deli
cate eyes is better than eight. Tho gener-
nl health should be maintained by a good
diet, air, exercise, amusement and n prop
cr rcstilctlon of the hours of hard work,
and if these rules are followed out oculists,
each as myself, would havo to go out of
business,"

A local Instituto was held at Canby, Feb
19, for MtPleasant. Supt. Grimes arrived
at 10:15 a. m. Tho institute opened by
signing and devotional exercises. Prof,
Cope advised teachers to Jlbrow away tho
books until the pupils are old enough to
understand them; to teach the child how
to talk and write. A pupil may learn how
from the book, yet will not do it when ho
writes. It is only by constant practice that
one learns to do a thing, nut by seeing
done tiring newspapers and other news
of the day in tho school, have the pupil
discuss It, let them correct each others' pa
pers. They will notice mistakes on other
papers rjulcker than on their own. After
singing, adjourned to 1 p. m.
One o'clock found the house crowded
four schools, Hartzeis,H!ppcnstie.'F, Camby
and Kitchen's attending in a body.
The afternoon wns occupied by declama
tions, recitations &c, each school taking a
half hour. Prof. Copo talked on geogra
phy. There was a spelling contest, reading
contest, music and other interesting exer
clses.
Ida Jacoby, AnnaJAppleman and Frank
Sands of the Kitchen school wero pro
nounced the best spellers by the committee
and Lulu Appleman, Corn Lemon and
Florence Kltclun the best readers.
Supt, Grimes made a closing address,
and tho institute adjourned.
