ODD EXPERIENCES.
Pome of the West Side officers have
recently had very novel experiences that
are being told about them with a good
deal of relish. The best story is told at
the expense of Constable John Davis.
John upholds the law In the Fourth
ward and he Is quite successful. Last
Saturday ho had 11 warrant for a man
named Steve Coggins whose home is on
Luzerne street. Down goes John armed
with the warrant, a club, a pair of nip
pers and a grim determination. He es
pied Coggins as the latter was making
a bee-line for Keyser Valley, but the
feet of the law were the faster. "Come
on," said John. Hut the man wouldn't
"come," and John placed the nippers
on one of the prisoner's wrists. Cog
gins braced himself by grasping an Iron
fence with his free hand. The con
stable pulled and pulled, but Coggins
didn't flinch worth a cent. Again Davis
pulled and, wonderful to relate! the
prisoner's urin came off at the shoulder.
John jumped back aghast, with the am
putated arm dangling from the nippers.
"Deu, deu," he said. After awhile It
struck him that Coggins' arm was made
from the limb of an oak tree and was
simply wood.
Lieutenant Williams was called to ar
rest a drunken man Tuesday night. The
fellow was supposed to be lying in a
dark spot In the rear of I'rotheroe &
Watl'ns" store on South Main avenue.
The police overseer went down nnd
noticing a dark objift on the ground he
went to it and peered nt It and pon
dered over It. "Where's his head?"
murmured the lieutenant to the report
er who was watching the movements.
Seven minutes passed; then the lieu
tenant discovered that he was wasting
time over a discarded bushel basket.
The drunken man was afterward found
somewhere near the Oxford breaker.
Constable Henry Hurshcll and Con
stable Timothy Jones were down In
Kelly's patch recently with n war
rant for the arrest of Charles
Chester. While one of the constables
watched the prisoner In a 10x10 room
the other went down stairs. When "the
other" came back Chester had mystoii
ously disappeared nnd the watching
constable was patiently waiting the re
turn of thf prisoner. This Is no Joke,
ns It was about four hours afterward
when Chester was recaptured,

M. Jones, died yesterday at noon at her

two drivers were senrchlng farther up

IN THE FRONT RANK.
The Pittsburg Times of May 23, 180(5.
says of the Bloomsburg State Normal
School:
"Since the opening of the school 2f!
years ago, It has stood In the front rank
as an institution of learning, has ad
vanced and Improved with the times
and enjoys a reputation among the
leading educators as a model Institu
tion, where a complete education can
be secured at a Small cost."
The National Educator of March 14,
1S9B, says of the same school:
"The growth and prosperity of thP
school has been phenomenal. We will
brlolly erumerate some of the material
thanges. New furniture came lirst,
then the beautiful auditorium was
modeled. Next the large four-story
dormitory and gymnasium were built.
Electric lights, the new Library, the
Elevator and the employees' Dormitory
nnd Sanitarium soon followed. The new
Athletic field Is another remarkable
feature of Its growth. In short, the
school has grown so wonderfully that
those who have not visited It In five
years would be astonished to see the
transformation."
The New Cathalogue of this School
can be had by addressing the principal,
Dr. J. P. Welsh. It is finely Illustrated,
and fcns much valuable Information.
Hundreds of men and women In all
parts of the United States owe their
success and prosperity to the fact that
they were educated at this excellent
School. The graduates are found In,
thirty-one states and territories and In
several foreign countries. Under
graduates, of whom there have been
over ten thousand, are still more widely
distributed. The roll of students for the
past year represents twelve different
states. '" '
All these facts prove that the public
are finding out where they can buy the
most and best education for the least
money, ... .-!:.'.

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review
New York, Aug. 7i The bears had a
field day t tlt Stock Exchange, liqui
dations huvlng been on a heavy scale
putil the last hour of business when a
steadier tone prevailed," the latter a re
sult of covering of short contracts. The
early loss In prices was equal to 17
per cent. In the usually active list and
23 per cent. In the specialties was due
principally to the higher rates for
money demanded by bankers generally
which has compelled weak holders to
market their securities. Today call
money which has not risen above 3 per
cent, for months suddenly advanced to
7 per cent and closed near the toy
figure. Dealings In time money w.fi?
on a very moderate scale and In fact
lenders were not disposed to do busi
ness in this department at all. To add
to the nervousness a story was started
toriie effect that the banks Intended to
Issue clearing house certificates. There
was nothing in this report but it had
Its Influence. ' It Is true that there hat
been considerable calling In of loans
by the banks but this always happens
when values are the stock eotchange
melt away the same as they did today.
The west waalso a seller for the ac
count of operators who have sustained
serious losses through the collapse of
the Diamond Match deal. Another de
pressing factor was the alleged state
ment by ex-Secretary of the Navy Whit
ney that Bryan would carry New York
This alarmid any number of small op
erators and resulted In the selling of
quite a largo amount of long stock. Low
records were made In a number of In
stances and some stocks sold below the
figures current in the Venezuelan war
scare.
In the last hour the murket Improved
Vli3 per cent, owing to liberal pur
chases by the leading bears who wished
to turn their paper profits Into cash.
Speculation closed steady In' tone. Net
losses In the usually active Issues
ranged- from Vj to 6 per cent. Manhat
tan lending. Total sales were 334,000
shares.
