SOUTH SIDE NEWS.
The Ice Cream and Candy Store of
James Gibbons, of Diroey Avenue,
Visited by Burglars.
Burglars broke into the shop of James
Gibbons on 'lliney avenue, near the
city line In Minooka at an early hour
Sunduy morning and cleaned the place
out. Jt Is a new one-story building
with two apartments; one devoted to
the use of an Ice cream parlor and the
other supplied with shelves and a glass
case stocked with candy, cigars, etc.
Mr. Gibbons is a huckster and a stock
of peaches and vegetables was kept in
the plate. Everything was stolen ex
cept the shelves, glass case, tables,
chairs, and the building. The burglars
made a clean sweep.
As they were getting away on their
final visit, for It must have required
several visits to remove all the stuff,
Mr. Gibbons was awakened and he fired
a shot after them. Their escape was
too swift to give him an opportunity to
follow their tracks, but nearly every
one familiar with the people of Mlnooka
has a stiong suspicion that the bur
glars are the same gang of worthless
young fellows who spent a busy winter
stealing chickens and washings from
clothes lines. Mr. Gibbons' loss Is about
$10(1.

there was genuine surprise, expressed
on ail sides yhen the news of his elec

Pittston- council Is Btrongly Dem
ocratic, and Mr. Bowman is a Republi
can. The candidates for the' honor
were Messrs. English, Barrett, Donnel

could get a majority of votes and bal
lot after ballot was taken until the
twenty-fourth In a fruitless endeavor to
elect a mayor. The council chamber
was the scene of great confusion.
On the twenty-fourth ballot, when
Mr. Bowman was first voted for, the
twelve who had cast their ballots for
Messrs. Collier, Harding and Donnelly,
centered on the new Richmond in the
field. The next bullot was the same,
and on the twenty-sixth bIx others
Hocked to his standard, giving him
eighteen-votes, a majority, and electing
him to the position made vacant by the
death of Superintendent M. J. Langun,
who is entombed in the Twin shaft.
Messrs. English ami Barrett got only
ten votes between them on the last bal
lot. Martin Gerrlty was elected to the po
sition on the board of revision and ap
peals of taxes made vacant by the
death of M. T. Lynott, another of the

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.
New Tork, Aug. 3. The stock mar
ket today was a tame affair, the deal
ings footing up a little over 85,000 shares,
of which three stocks. Sugar, St. Paul
and Manhattan, figured for 61.400 shares.
The movement throughout was entirely
professional. London furnished no
business to speak of. It hnvins been a
Bank of England holiday, while homo
operators were inclined to go slow until
the political situation Is better under
stood. At the opening the market
weakened under talcs of St. Paul. This
selling was attributed to the demorali
zation of rates in the west anil had an
adverse influence on the general mar
ket. After the early decline which
ranged from i to l'i per cent, in the
usually active list and 2',i per cent, in
Manhattan, the market Improved slight
ly. Manhattan fell to 8J"4, the lowest In
years and was the result of reiterated
reports of decreased earnings and ru
mors of a proposed reduction In divi
dends which cannot be confirmed.
Sugar fell from 104 to 102 and closed at
103. The fluctuations In the railway
list call for no special mention. Specu
lation closed quiet. Net changes show
lossea of 'ifi Mi per cent., Manhattan
and I-aclele leading.
