iJepburki, of the J locMcti Oinci of
the L V. E K , the Victim.
A dastardly attempt to iimcder W.
J. Hepburn, of the Lehigh V.illey telo
araoh ofiiea.was uiada lute Wadtieaday
night Mr. Hepburn cam to this place
during the strike aud obtaiued work iu
tlm company's ottteesat the Lehigh and
WHkei-Barrs lmiouon. lie s-enrea
board with the family of Frank Ziigle
on the West Sid, near the west eod of
tlie Delaware. Lickawauna and West
ern Rtlro;d bridge. The hridee being
on a dlroet line from the ofne, Mr.
Henbnro made it a practice to take
a eliort cut asross the bridge, while
going and returning from work, in de
ference to iioiair around or way of tiie
foot bridata. Oa tbe uight iu question
he was returning from his boarding
honaa to the ofrbe. and bad o::n
about turew-foortfts way serosa wlian
be was accosted by three soepiixoas
looking inen, who were gomg in an
opposite direction. As it is enstomary
for people to cros the bridjr Mr.
Hepburn paid no attention to the fal
lows until one of them upon retching
him suddenly let drive bis umiu, in
what it so-ljposed was a"Mock jack,"
ind oeuht H-pbarn on the head.
The blow was so sullen and unex
pected tfiat Mr. Hepburn scarcely real
ized what happened t o bim anni no
found himself lying prostrate across
the tie, with the blood streaming from
a e!ish in the forehead. Tbe would b
murderers next pounced upon him and
after kicking tmd beating him unmer
cifully, attempted to end him by
throwing the unfortunate mm into the
rushing waters below.
The fact of the tie being serer.il
inches apart male it very difficult for
the vlllians, as thv were compiled to
use :nnch caution while pursuing tneir
WOK,
buffering terribly as he was, and re
alizing his'llfe Jtpeuded soUly on tin
own exertion, Hepburn fought as beat
ni couia wita wnai strengtn remniueu
Be finally succeeded in tearing himself
iway anrt made his escape, to the Diet
'ids. The villians pursued him closely
until they reached the end, when tb?;
gave up the obase.
The wounded man went to tbe Lack
iwanna and Bloomsburg Junction
wiiere he had his injuries dressed, after
which he was removed to his boarding
louqe wears ha lies in a precarious
condition.
A number of men from tbo Junction
mrhed to the bridge, but failed to di
tover any clu; of tbe villains who com
nitted tbe assault; and notwithst ind-
ug the neighborhood hue been thor
jnghly searchad, tbey are still nt large
Hepburn is at a loss to known who
. aaaailaints are as it was too dark to
obtain a clear view of their faces The
impression is they are sympathizers of
the strikers who had determined an
avenge for Hepbarn g nng to work d ir
lng the late udpleasaatoeis between
the railroad company aud its omployes.
The case has been placed In tbe hands
of the company' deteetivo and should
their guilt be established the case will
go bard with tham as tbe officials of
tbe company are determined to protect
their employes nt all baztrds.

THINGS OBSERVED AND NOTED.
Postmaster John H.Mullin. appointed
yesterday, will find it difficult to make
improvement on the administration
and business methods that have mark
ed the present incumbent's official eon-
duot and discharge of his duties. Dur
ing the four years that Colonel Camp
bell lias haul the office there has been
maintained, thanks to his uneeaslng
attention und vigilance, a high degree
of excellence iu the postal work of
the l'ittston office. Incraaaed facilities
for speedy communication with adja
cent towus, with which this place has
large dealings, additional deliveries
ami collections especially for the buai
nans portion of the town, uniform cour
tesy aud attention on the part of the
employes, are some few of tbe qualities
which bave characterized I'oatmaster
Campbell's handling of th business of
the i In , and have established a nigh
standard of excellence that will tax bis
successor to sustain.

"Has the Ssvonth ward a representa
tive in council" is th (tuestiou that is
being discussed by mauy of I lie rent
dents of tltaf ward. At the late eleo
tion George B Reap received an almost
uiuuliuoiis vote in the Seventh ward
for the ofllue of couucilmnn. Hut was
there a VHoancvV A voar ago Andrew
ll Allen was elected counciluitu from
the old Fourth ward He was then a
resident of that portion of the ward
which today is the Seventh ward
and after the new division of
tho borough Into additional wards
retained Ml sunt in. and
acted ns . member of council. A couple
of months prior to election Mr. Allen
removed from this pluoe to DdMBora
Even after his removal he attended
couuoil meetings. He, however, never
formally resign tun membership,
perhaps from lack of opportunity, us
the council failed to uisot to give hiin
a chance to present his resignation
Therefore, as he was elect! for a terra
of three years, never resigned and his
s 'at was never ieciare.i vacant, t a
question naturally arises was there any
v iciocv i u ttie seventh wara lor mo
electors to till.
How many of our new councilman
bare teen sworn in? The writer no
ticed at Monday evening's meeting
that several of the new members who
had taken no psirt In the afternoon pro
ceedings at tbe Esgle hotel, took their
sedtg and participated in tbe buiiness
of the ciunuil witljent gotag through
the formality of either presenting a
certificate of election or of taklog tin
Oath of offiO, Probably when the nw
machine tnk.s a fresh start next
Monday evening somebody will
give Chairman Siangan n gentle
rruitnder of tbe omission of tbis usu
ally precedent formality. Of course,
as the members who wete not sworn,
are not reformers, the necessity for
the rectifying of this vary grave omis
sion will at once Impress itself npon
the vigilant mil watehful reform offi
oi lis who ara now steering our losal
ship of state.
Cneaaiaal Aotiun of the Sea.
A little consideration will show that all
the known chemical elements aud even
the unknown once, tflo must be contained
in solution in tho waters of tbe ocean.
Riven flov.-ing over the land are contin
ually tnking up mineral matter in solution,
and these subernncts are all added to the
mass of rrmterii.lB (Unsolved iu the oconidc
wafers. The Thames erajy dny carries to
the North xaa some S.COfVtons of dissolved
material, aud if all tbe rivers of the globe
work at something like the came rate 20,
000,000 tons. of mineral matter most day
by day be added to the stum of materials
held in snluthm by the ocean.
It is true tbut the chemist, by his moiit
refined methods of nnalysis, is unable to
detect the proportion, even If he is nble to
determine the presence, of the rarer ele
mentary BuMtancea which occur only as
"minute traces'' In sea water. When a
large quantity of sea water Is evaporated,
we get a mass of eUuridts and sulphates
thatean be separated, by analysis, buteven
tho very delicate tests of spectral analysis
failtomtrko manifest many of the rarer
metals and oth-.r elementary bodies that
must certainly be present in the mass. In
a wull known case the copper sheathing of
a vessel bus been proved to have taken up
silver from the seawr.ter by electro-chemical
action, though it is probable that nil
our ordinary analytical processes would
have failed to reveal the existence of the
metal in the wuter Itself. Fortnightly
Review.

POSTOFFICE APPOINTMENT.
John H. Mullin Captures the Much Cov

The agony is over and there is mueh
rejoioing among the friends of John H.
Mullin over a telegram received here
between 1) and 4 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon announcing his appointment as
postmaster. The contest, which has
been alluded to on several occasions in
these columns, has been an exceedingly
warm one and so active hare bean the
leveral candidates that each aspirant
felt confident up to the last. Tbe strug
gle started after the fall election of
1893.
Mr Mullin is fully qualified in every
respect to handle the business of the

trust in the gift of the people. Ha has

The flying foxes are relished na food by

Their heads are wonderfully like that of a

blinded specimens, in the experiments of

This mwer bats owe to their highly de
