Last Sunday evening while a prom inent young couple, who reside on Fourth street, were out calling, some one entered their apartments and rifled the bureau draws, etc. A close investigation disclosed the fact that two pocket books, containing some thirteen dollars in currency, some calling cards and valuable papers had been pilfered from their bedroom, and thsT 4 the back door had been left open, leav ig the impression that the thief had o tered that way. Rightly placing suspicion where it belonged, they began an investigation and were rewarded by finding the stolen goods and a latch key to the main door, which had mysteriously disappeared some time ago, and by which entrance was affected, in the guilty person's possession. The matter was quietly settled by the culprit promising to return the goods which was done on Tuesday. | This should be a lesson to the guilty • ape, as house burglary is a serious flense before the law. Costly Hardwood Lumber. Out beyond Forest House there is a deep defile in the hills, the only outlet being a narrow, rocky gorge through which a small stream passes over prec ipices in a southerly direction. Down in this defile have grown for time un- I known to Potter county pioneers a I score or more fine ash trees, probably j the finest specimens ever grown in | that section. Recently the Emporium Lumber Co. conceived the idea of get i ting the trees for their mill at Forest j House and converting them into lum ] ber. Accordingly the owner was in -1 terviewed and the trees were purchased jat fifty dollars apiece. They were cut and drawn up the declivity by means ! of tackle blocks and ropes, several | horses serving as a motor power. The ' expense of getting a tree to mill, was about fifty dollars more. The editor of this paper, while at Forest House a day or two ago, took opportunity to see it, and probably no finer ash lum ber was everplaced onithe market. The lumber is dark, the grain very fine and is of a wavy or curly nature.—Port , Allegany Reporter. „, m , An Ugly Weapon. Wm. A. Dalryinple has been exhibit ing to his friends, during the past week, a very ugly looking weapon, in the shape of a Spanish Matchette.the favor ite arm of the Puerto Rican and Cuban insurgents in their wars against Spain. It has the appearance of a very large butcher-knife, with a blade about 20 inches long and varying from 1:J to 2', inches wide, with a saber taper, and weighs about five pounds. It is made I in Spain, of the finest tempered steel I and adorned with a horn handle. It is a present from Josiah Howard, who j recently returned from Cuba and Puerto Rico. In addition to this matchette Mr. ' Dalrymple has received two fighting : cocks and it looks very much as though he was preparing to meet Pap Blodget ■ and his delegation from Sinnemahon | ing when they arrive in Emporium \ this spring, on their annual visit to the Emporium Liars Club. Entertainment. Mrs Fox, who gives a recital at the Presbyterian church next Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the Y. P. S. C. E., comes to us so highly recommended that we bespeak for the society a full turnout of our people.

In a letter re ceived from him this week he states that he is still alive and well and ex pects to re-enlist when his time is up and remain among the Filipinos until they are restored to quiet Hr.

A Potter County Man Commits Mur der Near Tacoma. TACOMA, Wash., March 9.—Frank Sprague shot and killed Mrs Guy T. Gale and then killed himself at Gale's logging camp about seven miles from Tacoma. Sprague arrived here Sun day from Cross Fork, Potter county, Pa , where, it is claimed, he met Mrs. Gale and was a suitor for her hand before she married Gale last November Sprague took a boat for the logging camp and soon found his way to the Gale house. Gale was in the woods at that time, but went to the house on an errand and was informed by Mrs. Gale that Sprague was inside but would soon depart. Mrs. Gale re-entered the house and was at once shot by Sprague. The victim staggered out of the house and died in her husband's arms. Sprague then came to the door, but I seeing Gale turned back and shot himself. j Mrs. Gale's maiden name was Gertie , Richardson, and she has a mother and | brother living at Cedar Run, Lycoming 1 county, Pa.
