Cheap newspapers are the order of the day, aud this office can as wel afford to publish a paper at $1.00 a year, as any other office. But as tbo price is low wc cannot afford to give any more for the money than any other paper gives. We hare determined to reduce the price of the Coluuiiiak to $1.00 a year, unci on or about July 1st we shall reduce the size of the paper to that of the largest of other papers published at that prlco. Our only hesita tion for somo time has been that the re ductl'ou of tbo size might seem like a back, ward step, but us the price Is reduced In proportion, ana us price, not size, seems to be tho principal object, wo havo decided upon this chauge. The patronage of this office has never been better than It is to day, and our subscription list wus never In a healthier condition. It is only because wo hope to largely increase the list that the reduction has been made, thus placing us on an equal footing with the other cheap papers. The principles of this paper will not be changed in any way. We ask no office, wc have no axes to grind, no prom ises to make, and hence none to break. This papir was established flfty-one years ago, and is now in the ninth year of Its present management. It has, we believe, always enjoyed the confidence and respect of the public and our endeayors shall all be directed towards the maintainance of that position. All who have paid in advance at the old rato of $1.60 will receive credit on our books for the excesB from July 1. All who are in arrears for subscription " will bo charged at tho rate of $1.60 up to July 1st, and $1.00 a year after that date. tf personal. Miss Powell of Now York is the guest of Mrs. L. S.

Our community was startled Friday evening of last week, about 8 o'clock by the cry ot fire. At first it was supposed to be Lockard's Car Shops, and nearly the whole community turned out to witness a big fire. Fortunately it wss the paint shop which wat situated some distance from the main bulldlacs. When tho flro companies reached there they found it necessary for two of the companies to couple their hose In order to reach from the nearest plug to the fire. By the time the hose was In read iness the building was nearly destroyed, so that their attention was given to tho piles of lumber. About twenty-five barrels ot oil, two bales of cotton waste, varnish, stensll plates and other material was de stroyed. While the large crowd was about nearly to start for home a brilliant light was ob served In the direction of tho Jail, and the cry given that the jail was on flro. This was ridiculed at first, but soon found only too true, but not the jail. It was the frame stable connected with It. Those who reached tho stable first, rescued tho horses, cattle and hogs, together with the wagons, sleigh, harness, Ac It required quick work as the flames, having Ignited In the hay bad gained rapid headway. It was some time before the hoss carriages could leave the former fire, and hence tho build ing was nearly destroyed before the water was turned on. The sheriff's loss was about $100. The first fire originated by accidentally upsetting a lamp, while Charles Rupert was making packing for car wheels. The second Is a mystery, and was undoubtedly the work of an Incondiary. Tho barn was Insured for $300. Fatal Plre at Bcacli Haven. A WOMAN BOBMIO TO DtATH. Between Beach tlaven and Berwick, about twenty-five miles from Wilkesbarre and just within the Luzerne county line, has stood a house which for some time past has been occupied by three young women, formerly of Wilkesbarre. Their names are Annie Nagle, Kate Durkln and Jonnie Snyder. The two latter had two lovers named Wesley Probst and "Doc" Hess, young men of Berwick. These wero at the house last week Thursday night. Late In the evening Harry Myers and BUI Hittlcr, also of Berwick, and said to be tough characters, called. About midnight they wsre told to go home, but refused. A fight ensued and there being five against two,Mcyers and BIttler wero thrown bodily from the premises. The doors were lock ed and tho Inmates then retired. Miss Nagle occupied a room on the second floor of the building. The other four occupied rooms down stairs. They had been asleep but a short lime when the house was dls covered to be a mass of flames. It had been set on fire from the outside. , Miss Durkio, Miss Snyder and the men, Probst and Hess, barely escaped with thetr lives, after having their hands, beads and faces badly burned. Annie Nagle appear ed at a second story window for an Instant, and was then seen to fall backward In the seething flames and waa burned to a crisp Not a vestige of the house was left. Squro Holloway conducted the Investi gation into Ihe Beach Haven Incendiary, The house was occupied by Annie Nagle, Jennie Snyder, Kato Durkln, "Doc" Hess and Wesley Probst. The evidence showed that about 11 o'clock, while they were playing a game of cards, Harry Meyers and William Bittler came to the door and knocked. They were told that they could not come In: Meyers then drew a revolver and began firing through the keyholo into the room. This frightened the people in tide; tho door was opened and Meyers and Bittler walked In. Annlo Nagle was sleeping In her bed upstairs, while Kate Durkln, Jennio Snyder, Hess and Probst were still engaged In a gamu of cards at a table In the sitting room, Upon entering the room Meyers walked directly to the table, his revolver In band, and, picking up a card, fired two shots through It, Hess and the others remonstrated, saying that the upper room was occupied, and as the bullets had gone through the celling, there was danger of hurting the occupant. "Who it up there?" demanded Meyers, with tbo air ot a oow.boy. "Annie Nagle," was the reply. "All right, I will go and see where tbo bullets went to." He stepped Into an adjoining room, struck a match and deliberately set fire to the apartment. The building being old and dry, the flames spread beforo tho in. mates were aware of what had been done and soon the entire structure was ablaze. The woman sleeping upstairs was arous. ed as speedily as possible, but the teemed dazed, and after partially emerging, re. turned to the chamber and perished. In the effort to save her tbo other women and their companions were burned about the head, face and hands painfully, but not seriously, Meyer escaped from the build ing. Hess testified that he saw Meyers strlko the match, but had no Idea that he Intend, ed to tot fire to the house. Bittler testified to about the same tacts. The verdict of the Jury was that Meyers was guilty of the crime, 'Squire Holloway then Issued a warrant for his arrest and placed it in the hands of Detective Holland. Tho officer traced bis man to Netcopeck, where he arrested him. On being taken before the 'Squire be plead not guilty, and was taken to Wilkesbarre and lodged In Jail.

Your correspondent In attempting lo criticise the expression "Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World," reminds one very much of tho school-boy who, when asked If ho ever saw any part of Pennsylvania, answered yes, and pointing to tho map said "there Is the wholo of It, It is red and about as large as your band." Our glorious liberty ot which tbestatuo ts an emblem, sheds Its beams over the other nations of the earth, enlightening them and enabling them to steer their ship of Btate toward a harbor of safety, just as the torch of tbo statue lights tho surrounding bay and enables Bailors to steer their ships safely Into New York harbor, and the Btatue Itself Is no moro Liberty than tbo map Is the slate of Pennsylvania. So much for tho "name." Thero Is mi "legend," and tho abovo Is exactly tbo "idea" that France, the most highly cultl vated nation of Europe, wished to acknowl edge In piesentlng the statue. L.
