Samuel Sornberger, an iS-year-old boy, was waylaid and murdered at 1 o'clock Monday morning, at the cor ner of Park and First streets. William sport His body was found lying in the gutter, and a bullet wound in the side, below the left shoulder, showed the cause of death. It was learned that Harry Johnson, a young colored man, was with Sor berger when he was shot, and was so badly scared when he saw his com panion fall that he ran home and went to bed. Johnson says that they were taking a walk out Park street when a strange man stepped in front of them from the shadow of a house, struck Sornberger in the face and then shot him. Sornberger had had a quarrel with a young man about a girl, and it was at first thought that this incident would result in finding the lad's assas sin. But this clue amounted to little. Six men were arrested at Lock Haven Tuesday, as tallying with the descrip tion of the murderer given by John son, but as yet none of them have been identified. A revolver without even a shell in the cylinder was found under the dead boy, but it was shown at the inquest that he had carried this empty pistol for a day or two, using it to frighten boys. The bullet which killed Sorn berger entered the left side, passed through both lungs and lodged in the right side below the aimpit Pennsylvania News Item:.

The men also had a branch office in Danville, where they acted as forwarding agents for several large concerns. ONE OP TWO WAYS. " The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way is from im perfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local trert ment cf other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the blad der, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or diseases, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience mani fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble.

Defended. Special New York Letter. Two things are absorbing the atten tion of every one In New York. The Drst of these Is the Increased prices re ported In Wall street, and the second, the plans of the politicians and the would-be politicians for the control ot the government of the Greater New York, which is the greatest experiment In the way of municipal government ever attempted. The sharp advances that have been made In the prices of almost all the stocks dealt In on the exchanges, has made fortune for the fortunate ones, but the greatest profits have been made In the wheat pit There prices have had a steady and continued rise. Scarcely being check ed when large quahtltles have been un loaded to enable the operators to take profits. It Is snld that some of the urge operators have made as high as half a million dollars withtn a few Crowded Rector Street weeks, and a dozen of the others are credited with having put away as high as $100,000 each. The bankers are now preparing for the enormous dem. nj which the south ern and western banks will soon make upon them for funds to enable the cror3 to be moved. This will employ at least $150,OCO,000 of money that is mostly now idle. At this season of the year, the country banks make large demands upon the metropolitan banks, and for some weeks the flow of money will be toward the interior. But it will soon return to the centres when the farmers have made their purchas es, and turned their crops into the manufactured products that they are in need of. Advices from the north west indicate that the corn crop will be larger than was at first supposed, and that the wheat crop will not be quite eo large. This information, ot course, increased the price of wheat, and corn is still advancing, though not so rapidly. The best information ob tainable puts the corn crop at 2.250. 000.000 of bushels. As corn is now the second only of the world's cereal pro ducts, its importance will be appreciat ed. One can form but an imperfect idea of the vast pile which the corn crop represents. Some one who Is given to mathematics, has figured out that if this immense crop could be dumped into the Niagara river, and moved at the same rate of speed that the waer pouring over the falls does. It would take two and a half hours to pass It over the brink. The cottoa crop will also be large, though not so large as in some years. The price is, however, so low that the planters will not realize large profits unless their hopes for a raise on account of increas ed demand are realised. The Metropolitan Street Railway Company will soon Lave horses to sell. Uy the first of December it is expected that the lines now operated with horses will be ready to use the under ground trolley system. The company cow owns 190 miles of track which is operated by horse power. This is done a, an enormous expense, for the life oX a car horse is but about tour years, and many of them do not last half that time. There is no longer any doubt ot the fulfillment of the prediction made by Mr. Edison some years ago when the cable roads were building, '.hat they would all be torn up, and electricity substituted. Then we had ::o uiog in sight but the overhead sys leia. and New Yorkers would never permit that Since that time the in tn;lon of the underground system has solved the problem, and the re-ecjulp-ruaat of ail the cable lines so as to aoa:t them to the use of this system is iiuw only a matter of a short time. The cost of making the change is a big item, but when it is shown to the di rectors that they cannot afford to go on with the cable power, because elec ;rk.ty Is far less expensive, they imme ti.'.oly order the change, even at enor u.u cost, for the new plant The congestion in the business streets of the city, and especially the r arrow ones of the downtown district. if oii.t-ttiing that there has long beea tcrici' complaint of. And when the p , :e gn to complaining of such tn t . uiencirs it soon becomes a matter oi ;.ecess'-ty to correct the evil. The to-, .if making any such change as is rc.'.y demanded by the business men is never taken into consideration for rri moment, and. Indeed, it should not li No one can measure the cost to v'...b merchants and business men ;e ;.,i on account cf the delays and l.iciniuces caused by the frequent 4.. Aa;'es of the stree's.

A milk trust is the latest tains; In taa city, aud it is in a fair way to become loth great and rowerful. Of course it H now claimed that both the puMic and .3' milkmen will be benefited by the trust, but this is always the plea of tio-rfj wiiO defend toe trust. lVhat- ever may be the outcome, it now ap pears that tho dealers are greatly In fear of being driven out of business and many of them contemplate taking the advice of ei-Qovernor Flower and finding employment under the shadow" of the trust. The fact has been deveU opd that there are many smnll grorers who keep and sell milk to the poor for less than it coats them. This Is done, of course, as an advertisement, and is Intended to draw other trade to their stores. When the trust gets into full operation all this will be done away with, for the trust will fix the price of Its output, and those who do not ad here to its price, will not be permitted to deal in milk at all. The organization of this new trust has directed special attention to the re cent utterances of Governor Flower, in which be makes an open defense of the trusts, and declares that they are le gitimate business concerns. It is true that he makes some exceptions in his defense, and some of his critics have been bold enough to ask if those are the ones in which he has no stock. Whatever may bs said of trusts In gen eral, there are very few publics men who have been bold enough to come out publicly in their defense. Most of the party platforms have denounced them as Illegal combinations, and laws have been enacted to suppress them, which, however, are not generally en forced. The bold stand taken by the Governor In their defense has sur prised even the man who are known as trust magnates, and who are quite amused to find themselves held up be fore the public as benefactors of man kind, when in fact they had supposed that they were enjoying "a soft thing" at the expense of the public. Some of the newspapers ot the city, and especially those which were par ticularly hostile to the candidacy ot Mr. Bryan last year, are very confident that the silver issue has been laid at rest, and that it will never again ap pear in a National contest. They even assert that It le being abandoned la this city by all who were Its firmest supporters a year ago and that Tam many Hall will nomlnaite a Gold Dem ccrat tor the Mayorallty of Greater New York. This scarcely seems prob able, but in view of the htatory of the past. It may prove to be a true pre diction. Tammany Hall as an organ! ration Is Intensely anxious to win In the city election, and it will do Its best to accomplish that result, with but lit tle regard to how its candidate stood last year. Hat there is a large body of voters, who. last year cast their lot v.ith the old Hall, who will not so e.uickly desert the doctrine promulgat ed at Chicago. These men will be lead Ly seme such man ns Henry Ueorge ssainst the regular candidate of the party, unless that candidate stands squarely up for what they regard as true 1 Uiocra'.le doctrine. Both parties at the present moment are all at sea, r.t.J so Is public opinion. It Is, howev er, giving indications of crystalizing rn President Low, and be does not cciteal hi ambition to be the Mayor cf the Great city. This will indeed be an honor scarcely less than to be elect ed Governor of the State, and Indeed in point of usefulness to the people. It may well be asserted that the Mayor of this great municipality at the or ganization of the city, will have far greater opportunities to impress him self upon the State, and especially up on this community, than the Governor of the State could possibly have. Some thing over 100,000 voters have already expressed a desire to have Mr. Low nominated, and it Is quit certain that his strength with the people is such that the politicians must take it Into consideration in making any calcula tions of what future results may be.

This man went to Mr. Eddy and told him. He did not see how be could prevent the glare of the sun from over powering such a camera obscurer pic ture by excessive light. At length, however, after a week of meditation, he was prepared for a preilmluary test. A tandem Hue of three Kdtty kites and one Hargrave kite was in the air and the vlstascope was carried to a height of 15u teet from the grouud. "The pictures were seen with the naked eye readily." said Mr. Kildy. "We tried to use a powerful marine glnis but the motion of the vlstascope aloft was too rapid for us to lollow It successfully with a glass. A steady ing device and perforated black card board to exclude the sky glar will doubtless easily overcome the difficulty.
