THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURQ. PA. OUT THE Will Try to Lift the Stain of Lawlessness From That Community. Five men now In Jail. The Ashland Advocate of last week says : Central ia has evidently deter mined to make a supreme effort to down the gang of cowardly young thugs who have by their cowardly and disgraceful actions brought that town into disrepute, ard given it a name for lawlessness that it is hardly deserv ing of. The lawless element of the town can be embraced within a score of young men who are as tough as hickory, and a disgrace to any com munity. Helpless foriegners have been their prey, and the fact that they are cowardly is evident from the fact that they always operate in gangs, and never less than two of them at tack orre man. For months past they have made Centralia notorious, and there has been a general desire on the part of the better element of the town to see them brought into severe contact with the law. The fact that when arrests have been made, and the criminals taken to Bloomsburg for trial they have generally gotten off with very light sentences has only emboldened these young thugs, and ,they have re turned to renew their rascalities with more vigor than ever. Recently Judge Little, of the Columbia bench resented certain statements implying that political influence had prevented many of those brought before the Court from getting sentences that would fit their crime, and said that if the offenders were brought before him that there would be no more complaint on that score. With this assurance from him the local authori ties at Centralia have decided to root out the lawless element, and to that end several arrests have been made in the past several days, and the offen ders railroaded to piison, and now the Columbia courts will have an op portunity to deal with them as they eserve. Tuesday we noted that two young men, Michael Grant and James Bren nan had been sent to jail for unmer cifully beating and robbing a for eigner. Wednesday Wm. Riley, of Cen tralia, and Charles Ennis, of Buck's Patch, were sent to jail for the same offense. They beat and robbed a for eigner at Dark Corner on Saturday night, and deprived him of every thing that he had of value, even tak ing his clothing and leaving him naked. They held a revolver to his head and threatened lo blow his brains out if he attempted any re sistance. He positively identified Riley as one of his assailants, and was not sure of Ennis, but as the men are boon companions they were both sent up. Another hard character who was sent up is a young foreigner who an swers to the Americanized name of Jack Pische. He broke into a house on Saturday night for the purpose of robbery, and almost set the place on (ire. He had imbibed his lawlessness from association with the tough ele ment of the town. Each of these de fendants are steeped in petty crime o.nd are generally around and ready to take a hand in any sort of lawless ness. The fact that they are all in jail and likely to be sentenced to long terms of imprisonment is very satis factory to the better class of the peo ple of Centralia. The arrests have not ended here, ind the good work will go ahead un til all of the hard characters in the town are brought within the pale of he law and the stigma that their law ess deeds have brought upon the own has been completely wiped out. Too much credit cannot be given :o 'Squire Gerrity, and his officers, .or the determined stand that they lave taken in the matter of suppress ng lawlessness. Mr. Gerrity is a cool iieaded, courageous man, who has a proper conception of what is due to he people from him in his official ca pacity, and he is determined that law essr.ess in his town must be stamped ut, and in this position he has the noral support of the best element of hat community.

Lord Kitchener reports the capture of another hundred liners, one 12 pounder, one t) pounder, one Maxim and a quan tity of ammunition. A dispatch from Pretoria nys thHt Hutch refugees who have nrrlved there from l'ietersburg say thp reason that there have been so many Boer surrenders recently Is because Commander in Chief Hotha wishes to get rid of his weak fighters, who, instead of helping him, are on incumbrance. Those refugees say that (leneral Hut ha recently mode an address to the burghers in which he declared that he wished to retain only those who were willing to fight to the finish. The fact re mains, however, that the best of the Itner fighters steal nway and surrender when ever they have a chance, as they are heartily sick f undergoing hardships without any object in view. The Dally Chronicle says it learns that the health of Mrs. Hotha, wife of Com mandant Oeneral Botha, has broken down owing to worry and her constant journeys between her husband and Lord Kitchener and that sh is about to sail from Delagoa Hay to visit Mr. Kruger and to appeal to him to persuade the Hoers to surrender. It is asserted that Utrecht, Vryheid ond probably Wakkerstroom district will be annexed to Natal. British Wu Losses. LONDON, May 7.

WASUINtJTOX, May O.-After a careful consideration of the situation in the Philippines as it exists. today the ad ministration has decided to reduce the army in the islands to 40,(XK1 men. The opinion prevails here that this number will be ample for the present needs of the service in the islands, ajid if condi tions continue to improve in the satis factory manner that has been shown in the past few months the force may be reduced still further. The expectation of thp war department Is that ull the volunteers now In the Philippines will have left the islands by the end of June, leaving only the regulars on duty there. Following the departure of volunteers will come the regulars who were sent to Manila in 1808 just after the outbreak of hostilities, and their movement home will continue until the force is reduced to ap proximately 40,000 men.
