Susquehanna, May 4. -Veracious
residents of Gulf Summit claim to have
seen In the heavens, a few evenings
since, the gigantic form of a man
astride of a bicycle. Tho celestial vis
ion appeared to have a llcry head and
a long, dragon-like tnll, studed with
small, star-shaped light. Tho rider's
wheel was ablaze, and, ever nnd anon,
threw out sprays of lire. The course
of the rider was from tho south direct
ly towards the north star, and occas
ional blue lights shot up from the out
fit, like rockets. Twice the fiery rider
seemed to fall from the wheel, and, for
a full minute, he was hlu from view,
but soon he was again seen, dashing
ahead at full speed. Occasionally blue
and red clouds appeared In the wake
ot the apparition, and tho wheels
passed through them, seemingly bump
ing against the smaller stars. The
etrange visitor soon sank below a dis
tant mountain and was seen no more.
Superstitious residents believe that the
heavenly wheelman Is tho forerunner
ot war, famine and distress on land and
sea.

So far, no one In Great Rend has

It will remain so until voters wake up

BURGLARS IN PITTSTON.
They l'repnrcd to Loot a Store, but
Wcro Frightened Awny.
PIttston, May 4. Early this morning
burglars entered the Armory clothing
house through a rear window, and car
lied off about ?400 worth ot clothing.
This, however, was found by a man
named Snyder, nenr the German Cath
olic church. Mr. Snyder stnrted on a
tour of the clothing stores and oft'tr
riving at the Armory store found that
It was the- place from which the cloth
ing had been stolen. He, with the pro
prietor, also found that the burglars
had prepaied to carry away nearly
everything of value In the store, for
they had taken clothing, etc., from the
Hholves and tied It up In bundle and
packages, which were scattered about
the lloor.
It is thought that their preparation
to make a wholesale removal of the
goods consumed moro time than they
expected and that the coming of day
light spoiled their plans. Some express
the opinion, however, that they were
frightened away. Th'e proprietor of
the store loses llitle or nothing.

Had times been good and money plenty we would not
have one pair of these expensive, real lace curtains on hand'
that we bought at the Bankrupt Stock of Kerr, Son & Co.
But money is tight and imitations have the field, because
they look well at a distance and cost little mouey.
Well, the Spring Curtains, including Chmy, Brussels,,
aud Point Laces, Orientals, Rennaissance, Marie Antoinette"1
and other high class curtains have staid with us, We must
sell them; we have no option in the matter, and for thi.
week we will sell the highest grade of curtains that ever
came to this city at common quality prices. It's a shame,
but there's no help for it.
