Samuel Jehnsen, of Columbia, was tried for stealing a watch chain, bracelet and razor from Fred Lebergen. The tosliuieny of the commonwealth's witnesse, was that Jehnsen, who Is a retative of the presecu ter, called at his house one night In April, 1883.

VIKWa OK BOAP "MAKING. Conclnateas of Member of the Com mission Appointed by Gov. Beaver. Frem the Pittsburg Dispatch. The views en the Improvement of country reads expressed by the members of the read commission which meets this week, aa published by the- Dispatch, afford an In teresting Indication of the Importance of the work, and of the ideas of the body which has been created te take the in itiatory steps toward It, One of the striking features of the replies is the practical agreement as te the vital portions of the work. All of them recog receg nise that the results of the present system are but a grade above no reads at all. With unimportant differences of detail they all are united upon the platform that state legislation should undertake te Improve the matter; that this should be done by means of a prescribed standard for all the main reads or thoroughfare,; and that state funds should be granted In aid of such work, whleh is te be dene under the direction of county supervisors. Even down te the class of read te be built, that with a durable and smooth bed of -broken stone, rolled and concreted, there Is prac tical unanimity. On two points which are or Importance, but which are net vital, there la considera ble divergence of opinion. The first is whether farmers should still be permitted te work out their read taxes. The general opinion is that under such a law the work is neither faithfully done, nor secured at the season of the year when it la needed. Others think thai the plan might be re tained under the amended system with advantage te the farmers. As the new plan we aid contemplate the supervision or the work by county instead of township offi cials, It is possible that it could be made te give mere control ever the work furnished y, farmers: and If that were net sufficient a plan which would let the farmers work out their taxes by the number of leads or stene hauled a given distance, or by seme ether measure of quantity, might give the farmer a chance te pay his taxes In work instead of money, and yet give the reads the value of the tax In actual result. On the question whether convict labor should be employed there is also a wide divergence Mr. David McCarge gives the strongest argument against such a plan. Certainly no man with a moral conception would wish te see the abuses of the chain gang revived. But is it net possible te utilize convict labor In this way without these abuses? Cannet the principles of humanity and philanthropy be applied te labor In the open air as well as within stone walls? ir that were done would net the majority or prisoners be glad te exchange the confinement of prison labor for the fresh air and healthy bodily exertion of work en the highways? The showing given by theae repltes indi cates that the Improvement or our reads will betaken held efln earnest. Everyone will hepe that the work may be speedily commenced and that the rural highways may be brought te a condition or perfection that will rail for a higher standard en our city st roots.

The Detroit Tribune tells that a woman recently approached General Sherman in a railroad car, and, pulling at his coat, asked; "Is this General Sherman?" "Yes. madam." " General Sherman, I felt that I must nee you. I wanted te leek at you and talk witR you. I had three brothers in your army in the Fifteenth corps. Twe of them will never come beck again." The general straightened up in a minute and his eyes get a little moist. He. would have done anything for her after that. Three brothers in his command and two killed I He sat there and talked with her with such courtly dignity that, encouraged, a crowd of women and girls, the compan ions or the sister of the three soldiers, crewded Inte the car. Ne ene would have suspected that his nap bad been spoiled. The woman who had awakened him was young and by no means unattractive in appearance, ills color deepened as the train prepared te pull out. "General, is it is it true," she asked, hesitatingly, "what they say about your kissing the women wherever you go?" " I'm afraid it is." "Well, whv de you de it? Dees it ploase them?" "I don't knew whether It does or net. Some of them say It does." "General, can I can I" thou she stepped. "Can I de it?" she finally blurted out. The general was en bis feet in an instant, and, reaching up, she gave him a geed smack, Mr. Randall Baptized. The Washington Star en Monday pub lished the following paragraph concerning Mr. Randall: Rev. Dr. Chester, of the Metropolitan Presbyterian church, Capitel bill, an nounced te ills congregation yesterday that Samuel J. Randall and Mrs. Randall bad been admltted te meinbershlpef the church. It was Indicated te Dr. Chester that Mr. Randall desired te Jein his church, and en Tuesday he went te the house te admit him te membership. Mr. Randall bad net yet been baptized, and Dr. Chester per formed the rite of baptism and he was ad mitted te the fold. Mrs. Randall has been a member or the Presbyterian church and was admitted te Dr. Chester's church by letter. This action en the part of Mr. Randall does net indicate that he sees the approach or death. On the contrary, he is mere cheerful and hopeful than he has been for many months, lie is tint as impatient te gst te work as he was, but he Is perfectly confident of recovery, and expects te take his seat in the Heuse befere the work of the session Is evor.

TIE IA1.ET FOl OLD AND NEW TOBACC. BETTER Till FIR WERIS FIST. Seme of the Sales By Lecal Packers. Farmers Dispose of a Number of Creps Trade In New Yerk I naetl vc. The transactions In leaf tobacco the past week were heavier than the past 'few weeks. Kendlg t Ce. bought 200 cases and sold about the same number; Phares W. Frey sold 30 cases of seed and Havana ; Sklles A Frey bought 175 cases of '87 and '88 seed and Havana and sold GO cases of the same class of goods ; DU worth Brethers, of New Helland, sold 00 cases of '83 tobacco; D. A. Mayer sold 30 cases or '83 Havana seed, and Frank Pentlarge 150 cases or 'S7 seed. " Reports from the county show that scat tering lets of the '89 crop have been bought by country packers at prices ranging from 4 te 0 cents round for seed and from 8 te 15 cents for Havaua seed wrappers. The reports as te the amount purchased are very conflicting. Farmers who were seen say that dealers have been quletly picking up the crop. Dealers deny this and say that but very little of the crop has been bought and claim that it wllLnet be looked at by packers,wlth a view or buying, before the end of February or beginning of March. Tbere are rumors of n packer In the eastern end of the county having bought 300 or 400 cases the last few weeks, but they could net be confirmed. Charles Procter, representing a Baltimore firm, was in West Lampoter township the past week and bought several lets of Havana seed. The prices paid for seme lets were 17 and 18 cents through and for ethers 21, 7 and 3. Tobacco farmers throughout the county would confer a favor by reporting thelr SalOS Of tebaCCO tO the iNTKLLIOKNCKn. Dealers withheld the prices paid, as a rule, and unless the farmers send tbem in they cannot be obtained. New Yerk Tobacco Market. Frem the 17. H. Tobacco Journal. The present condition of the leaf market Is a riddle te its eldest habitue. Business has been almost extinct for the pest four weeks and there aie no signs of a revival. Seed leaf is moving In but small quantities, whlle of Sumatra there is net even an Inquiry for aarnples. And yet the pros- Eeets ter a very active buslness could net e brighter. We have repeatedly proven that all the stock en hand will hardly be sufficient te carry the manufacturers ever into the season when the new crops may bocemo available. It is but a simple arithmetical calculation te lind that out. Our production of cigars amounts te about four thousand millions. Cigars cannot be made out or cabbage leaves or potato peel peol poel ings. We need about eighty million pounds or tobacco for these four thousand million cigars, and we have shown that the '88 seed crops and '80 Sumatra Impor tations will barely reach the limit. Con sequently geed, active business must be in view for the leaf market notwithstanding the present dullness. The llme must be near when bayers will have te replenlsh their exhausted stock. The reports from Havana point again te an unfavorable crop owing te a continuous drought The hopes which are set en a yield of ' fln'e "temprane" wrappers have again been disappointed. In consequence of this disappointment fine Partlde leaf containing wrapper leaf, sells In Havana at from 880 te 85 geld per quintal. Semi Vueltus have risen projiertlonatoly. Uuder these circumstances a most prosperous season is again in view te the American holders or old stock. The prlce or Havana leafls bound te rise still hlgher thlsyear. Frem the Tobacco Leaf. The amount or business transacted this week was or very fair slze, considering that the trade Is net in full working order yet; but the amount dene is a forerunnor of what Is te be expected In the near future, and gives encouragement te all connectod with the fragrant weed. The amount of old goods en hand is small. Buying of the new crop is being dene in a moderate way in seme sections, and in ethors has ceased entirely. Cans' Repert.

Dealers In leaf tobacco the pist week have generally been employed in finding out the exact results of the past year's buslness, as shown by thelr books, which. Judging from the general approval, is satis factory. Buslness is claimed net te have been heavy ; still a steady demand has been attained at fair margins. At present the trade is moving at a very moderate pace, and still holders have taken a firm ?;rlp en the price, and beliove the near uture will repay thorn for their firmness.

BIG COUNTERFEITING BtVItRMK. Ftve Millien Begrns Dellar Said te Have Ueen (tent Frem Mexico. The New Yerk Eetning Sun publishes a sensational article purporting te glve the details of a gigantic counterfeiting busi ness said te have been carried en by Mr tain citizens of Mexico. It states that these individuals have within the pest two years coined five million of our silver dollars, and after shipping them across the bonier hare disposed of them with a profit te them selves of 2Se en each dollar. The Sun says that during the past lew days rumors te the above effect have been afloat In Wall street, but have been carefully confined te a few prominent bankers and financiers, who have taken extraordinary precautions te prevent the reports from getting beyond ther own little el role. Within the past few months, or perhaps longer, It has been no ticed by bankers and ether men who have te de with money In the portions of the United States contiguous te Mexico that tbere has been au uuwentedly large num ber of United States stiver dollars Tu circu lation. This fact has been noted by baukers In Texas, New Mexico and Arizona." As seen as attention was oalled te It the bankers naturally began te speculate as te the oauses of it and te attempi te trace back payments made in silver dollars. Certain It was that these coins could net have been shipped from the United Slates coinage mints without the knowlcdge of the local banks In Texas, New Mexice and Arizona. It was found that many or these coins could be traced te Mexicans living across the border, who had given them In exchange for commodities purchased In this country. Then arose the "quosllen, where did theso Mexicaus get theso United States sllver dollars in sueh large quantities ? Then began a regular Investigation, which led te the disclesure of many suspi cious circumstances tee small te be noticed by themselves', but forming sufficient links in a chain of evldence pointing te ene of the most remarkable international crimes, if such it may be tormed, the world has evor known. Thiels the conclusion which the bankers in Texas, New Moxlee and Arizona have arrived at as a result of their investigations : That a band of Mexicans, calling tliomselves n "prlvate bank." have been coining United States silver dollars and utter ing the same te Mexicans, who gave him in return for goods purchased en this slde of the border. Perhaps there Is inore than ene of these Institutions : per haps a half dozen. Thogcntlemen wiioare Investigating this glgautle plot, IT such it proves te be, are or the opinion, deduced irem many miner netans, mat mis wtioio wtieio wtioie salo counterfeiting has been going en for ever two years and at least 5,000,000 coun terfeit United States dollars have thus been folsted upon the citizens of this country by the kcon-wltted Mexicans. Hew the dollars are uttcred the Investi gators de net knew. It is possible that the " private bank," or Mexican coiners of United States money, utter the coins dlrectly through thelr own empleyes te the people across the berder In the United States. In that way they would Hccure te themselves the whole of the profit of about twenty-eight cents en each coin. Or, and this idea seems much the mere plauslble, they ut ter the coins te Mexicans at a com promise value, sometblng between seventy-two cents and $ I. The Mexicans, who thus assume a risk in connection with passing the dollars, although It Is a small risk, get their coin for less than 81 In cou ceu cou sequenco of the risk. A SEKSA.TIONAI, SUIT. The Catnsauqua Company Affnlnst Philip Storm and Jehn W. Ilepklns. One of the most interesting cases tried in the Lehigh court for many years was called for trial Monday morning. It is the case of the Catasauqua Manufacturing com- fany against Philip Storm and Jehn W. lepkius te recover 613,000 nlloged te have been paid for scrap Iren which never was received. Storm formerly was burgess of Catasau qua, wliile Hepkins is filling that position at present. Storm Is a dealer In scrap iron, and for many years supplied large quanti ties or that article te the Catasauqua Manu facturing company, or which, up te April of last year, Ilepklns was assistant super intendent. The allegation or the company Is that for a perld or four years it was sys tematically swindled by Storm and Hop Hep kins, the latter reporting a weight far in excess of thi'l actually dolivered, and Storm being paid for the reperted weight, the money paid for the excess belng di vided bctweeu the two. Between April and October, 1880, the company alleges, thore was reperted a weekly excess of four teen tens, for alt of which Storm was paid ; that between April, 1883, and March, 1889, an excess of 11,000 was reported weekly and paid for, as per the report or Hepkins. The total excess In weight was 1,403,015 pounds, or about 700 tens, for which the company paid 813,000. The further allega tion is made that the crooked transactions extend back for a porled of years (prier te April, 18S0, but that the books kept by Hepkins, in which the weight or scrap Iren was kept, have been destroyed, mak ing It impessible te tell what the total ex cess of the weight of scrap Iren was for which the company paid. The company brought suit te recover this meney it al leeos it paid for iron uever delivered. The evldence en Monday was of no particular Intcrest, being in the main the reading of books containing a record of the weights of scrap Iren. THE DEATH OF G. EI)W, HKGENER.
