A oentlnuoua fall or anew all day Sunday
and a hoary rainfall nil clay Monday, made
the country toads even worse than tbey

tobacco business te a standstill. Several
buyers were out last week, but only a few
of them ventured Inte the by-reads and

The moist wcalber, however, has put the
tobacco In prime condition for handling,

Farmers living en or near the turnplke

A peculiar feature el the local market Is
that B. II, Brubaker received at his ware
houses last Friday 220,000 pound b of seed

Monday evening a daring robbery oe
curred at the Jewelry stete of Uenry Foehl,
Ne 203 Hast King street About 8:30 o'clock
Mr. Foehl left the stere te go ever
te Llederkratizhall, In the rear of Keapp's
saloon for a few minutes. He left his sen
Heury, age 17 years in charge. While
the young umu was sitting in the store he
heard a crash at the front window. He
supposed that some boys had thrown a Btene
through the window and qulekly ran te the
front deer. He looked In all directions, bnt
could Und no one. He then examined the
window and found that one of the panes of
glass had been smssbed and a geld filled
watch ease and geld chain which had been
lying immediately lnside of the broken
pane were missing. The man who com
mitted the thelt, quickly slipped into the
alley between J. A. Keller's house and the
residence of U. S. Qara and made his escare
out tbe baek way. He seemed te have
made preparation for getting away, as the
gate tf the alley lnside was unlocked and
after he passed through he turned the key.
Henry C. Moere, who lives at Lime and
East King streets, which is a few doers
further down en tbe oppesllo aide, saw the
man break tbe glass of Mr. Foehl'a window
with his list, and alter securing the watch
he ran lule the alley. Mr. Moero was
standing at his front deer and be ran for
his hat, after which he sent for the pollce.
OlTlcera Boachler and Wennlnger were en
hand, and, although they made a long
search, they did net succeed iu Hading the
man.
Early lu tbe evening a suspicious look
ing man, who bed a woman williblm, was
In Feebl's s'ere. Alter dark they wero
seen loitering around the aame neighbor
hood, and the man kept peeping Inte tbe
window as though looking forsemoono.
He was undoubtedly the guilty party. He
no doubt thought that tbe case Btolen by
him contalned a watch movetnont.
The thief must have cut his band badly,
as there was bleed upon the window pane
and a price card Inside.
la Mr. Keller's alley, this morning, a
heavy file about fifteen inches in lengtb,
and weighing threo pounds was ieund. It
is a murderous looking weapon. On the
gate or Mr. Keller's alley bleed marks were
found. It H thought that the thlet crawled
Mr Koller'rt back fence, and unlocked tbe
alley gate bofero he committed the crime,
be that he would have a geed way te get en".
Davi) Kltch Bays that he was at his home,
Ne. 135 Mlddle street, Just lu a direct
line Beuth of the point where the
burglary happened. Mr. Kltch was
awakened Bhertly arter 9 o'clock by two
men running through his alley Beth ran
te the cornet of the yard and climbed tbe
fence, leavlng bleed marks en the gate and
en the bench In Kltch'n yard. There wero
also bleed mark 8 en Lelch's gate oppesllo
Kitch's rcsldence. The bleed stains seemed
te show that the right hand el ene of the fu
gitives was hurt. A man with his hand
tied up was seen at the King street station
shortly af.er nine o'clock. He answered
the description e! the ene seen near Mr.
Toenl's atore early In tbe evenlng.
The number of tbe case of the stolen
watch Is 180. It is engraved en both sides
and is et FajM make in New Yerk city.
The inside el the case leeks bcratcbed as It
opened with a knife.
Last n'ght Oflicers Beachler and Won Wen
nlnger arrested Jehn Barnes and James
McClatn, two tramps, who have been loaf leaf loaf
iDgareund Penceck'a f urnace,and they were
held ler a hearing bofero Alderman
Fordney. Barnes says that he knows the
man who robbed Mr. Feehl's window,
aud that it was Uoerge Buchanan, a
tramp, who was with them en Sunday
night. Barnes says that Buchanan,
answers the description et the mail wauled,
and he told them en Sunday night that
be wanted a watch for a chain that he had
te wear, in order that the people would net
take him fur a tramp.

a.?tBllT What Kir. Itejueld. and Mr.
nrnlisktr Said te the Court.
The rules for new trials in lbs Sixth
ward and lndlantewn election cases were
eatted for argument late en Monday alter alter
neon. By ag roenient of counsel, they ware
considered fegel her. The ex pectatlen was
that there would be a lengthly argument
ou tbe points of law submitted during the
trial, but such was net tbe case. The argu
ment did net take mere than 11 f toen min
utes. Mr. Uoyneldc, for the dolendants, said he
did net prepDse te argue tbe case new. It
was the purpose of defendants' counsel te
submit the ease te tbe court with tbe request
that tbe points et law raised be carefully
considered by the court, se that Injustice
may net be done te tbe defendants In this
important case. He Intimated that the su
preeo court would be asked te pass upon
the ruling of the court If In their Judgment
a new trial could net be granted.
Mr. Brubaker, for the commonwealth,
aald :
"That theso cases have been carelully,
Impartially and ably tried by your honors
cannot be gainsaid. Any ene who baa
heard tbe wbole tilal el thee cases, and
has the interests of tbe country at heart,
will unhesitatingly and without il.ttery
say that they have been tried with fairness
and dignity.
Far be It from me, however, te cast any
relleotlens upon the able counsel for the do de do
fenso for having made one mere effort ter
their cltenta In tLelr motions for new trial'.
f It 'snetan unusual tblngteask ; It Is a duty
wbteh counsel ewe te their clients en ac
count of the great responsibility placed
upon them ; and tbe court in eases of tbli
magnltude were obliged, In courtesy, te
grant tbu rules te show cause, however Im
patient the publle may be te hear of the
speedy and final determination of these
important casfp.
Ner can 1 be altogether Insensible of the
faet that there are a few persons in the com
munity Who were neltber pleased with
theso procecutlons nor with the charges U.
tbe Jiiry especially be in the Sixth ward
trial. It wemf te have aroused the ire of
seme who knew far mere than they dare te
tell. Men, as Lewell says, cannot use fig
leaves te hlde the naked truth.
11 It la a case, however, In tbe forclb'.e
language el Judge Thurman at the trial of
tbe tally sheet fergery cases in Columbus,
O., in which It Is tbe duty of every honest
man te set his face like Hint against the
commission of sueh a crime.' It la a case
in which tbe publle Interests are tee great
te be disregarded. It is a case in which
every interest of society demands swift
punishment off be guilty. It la ene of tbe
case 8 in which tbe courts throughout tbe
breadth or the land are te day fearlessly in
lllctlng upon the transgressors the full
penalties of tbe law, regard lets of their so
