The subject of his remarks will be, " A Young Man Arrested." And the young man who has not yet been arrested may be able to gather some valuable hints from the elucidation of the subject. The burglars who entered the Bar ton mill on bunday thinking to grow rich suddenly, got away with 18 cents in cash and 50 cents in stamps, besides several little articles belonging to the rriller, Mr. F. L. Faust. In case of their detection and arrest, the penalty for the crime of burglary will be just as severe as though they had gotten a thousand dollars or more.

The day of prolonged fights for special privileges on the part of our railroads, to the detriment and exclusion of the equal rightsof the general populace, is, we hope, now well nigh exhausted. If not, it is high time that equal rights should prevail as between all corpora tions and the general populace. When Baby ni tick, we gave her Castoiia. When she wu Child, lha cried tor Castoria.

The Board of Trustees of the State Normal School at Bloomsburg, of which body Mr. Beckley was a mem ber for several years until his removal from Bloomsburg, in regular session, desire to place on record their ap preciation of the valuable services he rendered this institution of learning. The Board by a unanimous vote re cognize that in the hour of its financial distress, it was largely through his assiduous efforts that material aid was obtained from the legislature and the school's ciedit restored. He was ever ready to subordinate private interests to accomplish some good for the Normal. The Board tenders sincere sympathy to the sorrowing family and directs that this minute be printed in the local papers and a copy be transmitted to the family. Jas. C. Brown, C. Brown, ) . Schoch, j- Com. I. Miller, ) A. Z. C. W, Against a Physician. The papers in a suit for $10,000 damages, brought by G. F. Houser. against Dr. J. J. Myers, a physician of Nescopeck, were filed in the pro thonotary's office Tuesday. The plaint- in was a DraKeman ol the Pennsylvania Railroad and was thrown from a car on Feb. 7, 1890, and had a foot so lacerated that amputation became necessary. The defendant, assisted by ut. j. c. carpenter, of Pottsville, performed the amputation. The plantiff alleges that this was done with carelessness and lack of skill, that the arteries remained exposed and the bone was not given sufficient covering 01 nesn, ana tne exposure of the bone makes the amputated parts so sensitive that it is impossible for him to wear a cork lee or other artihca limb, and that after-treatment was so careless as to result in constitutional ill health, and that the present condition of the leg is such that rearaputation becomes necessary. He has retained as counsel Swartz Bros. W. B. Record. . A BUEGLAE 0APTUEED. At I t . .n. uurgiar, wno gave nis name as John Comprotski, was captured Mon day morning in a novel manner. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Politsney, of 65 Chestnut street, retired at the usual time and slept soundly until after mid night when Mrs. Politsney was awaken ed by a noise at the window. Looking over the footboard of the bed she saw man climbing in. She quietly awak ened her husband, who sprang out of bed and grasped the burglar by the neck when he was about half through the window. He clicked him into sub mission and then called a policeman. The fellow was locked up and after a short hearing the Mayor sent him to ail. IVitsneys house was burglar- zed a short time ago and $60 stolen. I he crime of burglary being one contemplating murder, if need be to escape, should, we think, be punished in such a way that the culprit would never have the second chance to enter a room by stealth. Eainmaking. This has been a very propitious season for Hie scientific rainmaker and yet the drought prevails. Out in Kan sas it has been verv dry also. Here Rainmaker Mathews undertook to moisten things by bombarding the heavens for rain. He wanted $400 for doing just once what the Almighty has been doing for Kansas for noth ing for thousands of years. His pro position was accepted and his bombs exploded and the rain came not ; but on the other hand the drought contin- ues to prevail in Kansas, where the ,inds are parched and the corn withered. Mr. Mathews claims with some show of truth that the conditions were unfavorable for moisture ; but we thick he lies when he rays that his " rain all turned to ice in the clouds." If the latter assertion be true of course when the ice melts the rain will fall in Kansas that is if his ice clouds are stationary, and we hope they are. Commercial. Buffalo, N. Y.

The new tariff is not expected to make much change in prices for fall and winter goods, and it is doubted if it will affect prices next spring. Cotton gooos win not be ariected at all, as this country is manufacturing largely its own material. Steam Versus Lightning. It is said that a locomotive will stand fifteen years service and earn about $300,000. When electric roads have all the privileges that are now granted to steam railroads, loco motives will last longer and earn less, But the electric roads will have those to fight who believe in high protection for steam before they can ever hope to pocket any part of the $300,000 that each locomotive now earns. Rich and selfish railroaders who have gone to our state Legislatures and secured nigh piotection tor steam power are not going to surrender to little trolleys until they have to, don't you see? Still we have no doubt that steam railroad stock will be cheaper in the near future than it has been in the far past, because of the audacity and pertinacity of lightning now utilized, and which seems to have come from the heavens for our common good and relief from extortionate steam charges. If high dividends are in con sequence lowered the electric roads will pocket the difference. Let light ning have a chance, too, we say, in the leveling process and popular struggle for freer trade. When the elements of heaven come to the rescue of the masses it is time to rejoice. To equal the occasion the people have only to send lightning representatives to the legislatures who are imbued with enough honesty to not sell out to steam power. Can it be done ? That's the only question in the way of the success of lightning. Heathen Meat. The kind of dogs that Chinese eat are a species that never bark, and, like our high-bred Jersey cattle, they have a bluish-black tongue. It is said that they eat over four millions of these edible dogs annually. As for a higher class of meat than dog meat, that is generally reserved for the higher class of people in heathendom. Evidently Christian customs are a consummation devoutly to be sought through peace if possible, but through war if need be. j DR.
