The Times pays: Ilurglftrs ontercrl tho Methodist parsonage nt Wyoming early this morning, hut through the prompt and liorole action nf. Miss Trlebel, a daugh ter of tho minister, they were fright ened away, but not before terrifying tho household. The pastor of the Methodist Episco pal church Is Hev. William Trlebel. airs. Trlebel waa 111 last night and slept 1n a room on the lower lloor. ttev. Mr. Trlebel, his son and daughter, oc cupied rooms on the second floor. Some time after midnight the minister was awakened by a suspicious noise, and partly ro?e and called to his wife. At that moment hit saw tint form of a man standing ntar his bed and Inquir ed what he wanted. Tho stranger, with a glistening revolver In his h'and, said In an undertone: "The best thing you can do, old man is to snealc down tinder those bed clothes and remain as qulat ns you can, for there are others in the house with mo and It won't be veil for you If you make a noisn." Of course the minister could not help complying with a retH'fRt so modestly made, and he slid without further ado right down under the iiullts. DAUGHTER'S DRAVI3UY. Miss Trlebel had heard her father call and got up Intending to go to his r&om and , inquire what tho trouble was, but, hearing a. noise near her rioor sne nun mi into ins uiu-itua. -l't-r of her rnr.m and had hardl reach ed It when a man dressed In dark clothing entered. He struck a match mid glanced at the bed, and seeing It was unoccupied, turned and left the npartmeats without dlscoveiing the presence of Miss Trlebel. Tho latter was on the heels of the burglar ut once and tip toed it out of the room and down stalls, reaching the bottom without being seen. From here she hurried out of doors ond over to the house of Dr. Knnpi, whom she arous ed with as little noise ns possible. Tho doctor quickly responded nnd, aiming himself, hastened to the parsonage, but Htrange to soy, when he nnd Miss Trle l.el arrived the burglars had made their scape. The vislto-s had taken Mr. Trlebel's trousers from the room which he oc cupied to another apartment and turned tho pockets Inside out. but for tunately the minister had placed his pocketbook and gold watch under his pillow and, as there was little else of value In the way of cash or gold that enmo under their observation, their haul was very slight, in fact, the only article missing this morning was a pair of gold glasses. Miss Tilebel Bay- that when she stood In tho coiner of the room and when the burglar strtiek the match she had a good look at his face and she could Identify him If she saw him again. BUROLAHS AT STURMD.RVILI.T7. About 1 o'clock this morning Isaac Frankel, piopnetor of the Bagle hotel, at Sturmer Ille, was awakened by a peculiar cracking noise pnd nrose, but though he made a thorough Investiga tion he found nothing wrong. Thinking it was a false nlann he returned to bed and was soon asleep again. About on hour later he was again awakened nnd on arising, seizing his revolver and hurrying Into tho hall he saw a stange man and gave chase. The In truder huirled down stairs and through a room In which several children were sleeping. Here a window, evidently the one by which he entered, had been left open, nnd tho fellow leaped through It with all the agility of a circus rider, and hurried across the yard. After leaving the house he fired two shots, but his aim was bad and the bullets struck nobody. After this lively experience Mr. Frankel made an Investigation and discovered that a half dozen boxes of cigars, a silver watch, a gold chain, two suits of clothe" and several pairs of trousers weie mNlng. Tho cigar boxes, empty, were found In the yard this moinlng. In the money drawer In the bar room there waa $10, but it was not touch"d. LARGE NEW COLLIERIES.

CULM WASHING. round to lie I'rolltnblc-Now Plant nt Minor's Mlllt. WIIkeo-RaiTP, Juno 9. The Leader says: The Anthony culm Washery at Miner's Mills will be ready for opera tion about July 1. The plant will em ploy eighteen men and will bo able to ship from three to six hundred tons per day. Tho company has a washery at Dunmoro and another nt Sugar Notch, and the output of these Is from five to eight hundred tons per day each. A ready market Is found for the coal at prices sometimes better for the same sizes than Is gotten for fresh ly mined coal. The coal shipped, on account of be ing washed, Is cleaner looking and therefore more readily sold. Tho ma chinery used separates the large sizes of coal from the rock. The latter Is crushed as fine as pan. coal and Hushed Into tho mines through a borehole. By this means every bit of coal exceeding one-sixteenth of an Inch In size Is used to advantage. The Anthony Bros, are trying to get hold of all tho culm heaps In the valley. CRY FOR VIGILANTES. Polico Seem Ineffective in Coping with Daring llurglnrs. Wllkcs-Barre, June 9. The Leader says: Burglaries on the west side are evidently becoming epidemic. Early yesterday morning thieves entered the restaurant of John Semanek on Main street, Kingston, nnd stole fourteen quart bottles of whiskey, 300 or more cigars, $30 In cash and several pairs of stockings. A pitcher of milk, which stood on a table, was drained possibly as a chaser after some of the whisky. An entrance was gained through a rear shanty. The thieves are no doubt local men as they must have known the tlfice well. After purloining Mr. Scmnnek's prop el ty, they or some pals visited Hughes & Olennon's vaults near the Kingston lumber yard and hauled awny thraa quarter-barrels of lager. These petty lai conies are becoming e:tlrely too tie quent and a vlrllance committee may be organized as the pollf' force appears to be Inadequate to cope with the tdrglaru AVOCA. The sixteenth semi-annual Sunday school convention was held In the Primitive Methodist church on Tues day and occupied three sessions. De spite the Incessant down pour of rain a laige number of delegates were pres ent and each session showed active Interest on the part of those who came to assist In tho work of bettering the Sunday 'School union.

Several In teresting discussions took place, dur ing which the visiting clergy exhibited their oratorical powers. An essay by Mr. Powell, of Scranton, entitled "What Should be Expected From a Converted Child?" proved very Inter esting and Instructive. A question box opened by Rev. John Bath, of Ply mouth, brought out facts which, If taken Into the Sunday school work, will prove beneficial. The subject treated was "How Can We Best Se cure a Revival In Our Sunday School?" Tho evening session was opened with a praise service by Rev. H. Bucking ham. "What Should bo the Teacher's Highest Purpose In relation to Schol ars," was the title of H. u. Russell's address. Rev. W.

A few years ago, when a United Stntes senatorial election was Impend ing In Ohio one of the leading candi dates needed another vote to mike his election sure and his campaign man ager, after canvassing the 'situation, began work upon a bucolic representa tive from one of the Western Reserve counties. The old man grow very Indignant at the first hint of money In connection with his vote. He fumed a great deal, swore n little and very melodramatic ally asserted that "Ms manhood was not for sale at any pilce" Gradually the fact was Impressed upon him that the one necessary vote could be secur ed In ancther quarter and that ills ob stinacy would have no effect upon thfi senatorial result anyway, while It might materially affect his pocketbook. Thereupon the old fellow made an eloquent plea In hU own behalf. He strongly usserteJ that he was an hon est, man, whose reputation was as dear to him ns his lite, and whose charac ter always had bean uniipottod by con tuct with the world. "You will readily understand, sir," he added, "that having so much at stake as I do It would be Impossible for me to entertain for one momenfany prop osition you might make to try to Influ ence my vote In this matter. My vote Is not for a!e. but 1 have no 111 feel ing toward you for what you have tried to do. And as proof of that fact I'll go right over to your room now and join you In a social game of euchre Just between oui selves." "All right," assented the lobbyist, "I'm pretty busy, but I guess I can find time enough for a single rubber with you. How about stakes?" "Twenty-five hundred a corner." "No two thousand." They played. The lobbyist lost. The man from the Western Reserve voted for the candidate who was elected sen ator. Times-Herald. Senator Mason's son, Roderick, a lad of 8 years, called his father up on the long-distance telephone from Chicago Tuesday to tell him that the Globe Sav ings bank had failed. The young man had $18 In the bank which he was sav ing to buy a bicycle. This Is the con versation which passed, as nearly as the senator could remember It: "Papa, the bank Is busted." "Yes, Roderick, I read about it. How Is your mamma?" "My $18 Is gone, papa." "Yes." ''My bicycle is gone, too." "Yes; that's too bad, Roderick." "Well, do I get a bicycle anyway?" At this point tho wires began to buzz and the senator told his son that ho couldn't hear. "Do I get the wheel?" the young man screamed over the wire. "Well, Roderick," answered the sen ator, "you get the Indorsement of your congressman, and I'll see what I can do for you." Times-Herald. o Here are some stories told of Senat or Harris, of Tennessee: For his hon esty: When the federals got posses sion of Tennessee Harris, who waa governor, disappeared with $60,000 In gold belonging 'to the state. Parson Brownlow put a price on his head. More than a yenr after the war ended Harris walked Into Brownlow's office. Tho "Parson," who was near to death's door, was stretch'ed on a sofa. "Hello, Harris," said Brownlow. "Hello, Brownlow," said Harris. "Where's that $C0,000?" maid Brownlow. "Here it Is," said Harris, laylngthe money In bills on tho table. "I was deter mined that you d tl Yankees shouldn't get it." "All right," said Brownlow, and, turning his face to the wall, went to sleep. Harris had carried tho sum on his person for a long time, and then had taken it with him to the city of Mexico, Not a cent was missing. More than once he lacked food, but the state's funds were sacred. For his lovo of poker: When the LHId congress assembled Joslah Pat terson, who represents tho Memphis district, entered Harris's committee room. They hhd not met slnco tho previous March. Several statesmen high in the nation's councils were pres ent "Why, how do you do. Senator, how do you do?" said ratterson, rush ing forward with outstretched hand. "I can't tell you, senator, how glad I am to seo you. How do you do how do you do?" "Blank, blank your soul, Patterson," growled the old gentleman-, glaring at him, "Where's that dol lar you owe me?" For his lovo of good liquor: Joe Shel by, of Missouri, camo to Washington In 1893 to press his claims to the United States marshalshlp of the Western dis trict of his state. The two men had not met since 1866, when they were members of the "Carlotta" colony, near tho City of Mexico. Shelby ran across Harris In the "marble room" of the capltol and spoke to him effusively. "Ds-n you, suh, I don't know you." growled Harris. "Why, I'm Shelby Joe Shelby." "Ah, how do, Shelby," ho responded without enthusiasm. They talked awhile of old time, and the Mlssourlan went away. "D n that Shelby," old Harris said, as the tall form of tho soldier disappeared through the door. "I don't see where he got the Impudence to speak to me at all. Mo an' Pap Price an' Governer Allen, of Louisiana, were down nt Carlotta when that rebel chicken stealer came along. We had fixed up a little dis tillery, an I had made fo' bottles of tho finest llnuor. suh. you evah tasted. This Shelby drank one bottle of It the fust day. Next mornln' we had to ride ovah the plantations. We lcf him at the house, an he drank two mo' bottles of It, suh." What became of the other bottle, senator?" asked a listener. "We aged It an' drank It, suh." "How long did you keep It senator?" "Fo' days, suh." o Somebody asked Congressman Allen how ho stood on tho contest over the Democratic position In the house. "Oh, well," said he, "I haven't been regist ered yet, and I think I am on both sides. It reminds me of a man In my country who was running for the leg islature. I met him one day and said: Bob, how are you getting along with the prohibitionists?' 'All right,' said he. 'And how?' said I. 'Well,' said he, '1 drink with the liquor men nnd vote with the prohibitionists.' "Pittsburg Dispatch. o Sir A. Sullivan went to see Rubin stein at his hotel in London. The. Rus sian composer asked him to step out on the balcony and smoke a cigar ette. They sat down, twisted their cigar ettes, and puffed the blue clouds Into the air. After a long pause Sir A. Sullivan observed: "You are a great admirer of Beet hoven I presume?" "Yes," said Rubinstein. "And Wagner?" "No," was the reply. Not another word was spoken. They rocked themselves In their chairs and smoked away. After a very long time Sullivan said: "I think It's time for mo to be go ing.'" "Don't say so," said Rubinstein. "Stay a bit longer. It Is so nice to talk to you." Sullivan stayed, and went on rock ing himself In the small hours of the morning, when he got up and said: "I must be off now; I think we've chatted long enough." Rubinstein drew out his watch. "Half-past two," he said. "Strange how quick time files In pleasant com pany." Answers. THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review. New York, June 9.
