BOf WAYLAID AND SHOT.
Midnight Tragedy on tho Streets ot Will
iamsport. 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

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. The mild and ex
traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If

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

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.

he was prepared for a preilmluary

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
