Mm, and In consequence he had a war
Innt sworn out before Alderman Kel
low, of the Fourteenth ward. At tin
heating several witnesses testified thut
the Corcorann were troublesome nolgh
boi s, nr.d that they made Insulting rc
inniks nbout the Conwnys. The nlder

lrnt to hold M,lchael under ball, but

Bunlelent evidence upon which to hold
her. John Nlluml qualified ns his
bondsman.

BURGLAR A'CR0NE, OF SCRANTON.
AVns Shot nnd .Mortally Wounded in
Wisconsin Last Night.
A burglar, who gave his name as
"James Crone," of Scranton, was shot
at Durand, AVIs., last night, according
to inf ot matlon received by the Tri
bune. He was mortally wounded.
"Crone" Is believed to be the James
McCrone who left the North End sev
eral months ago and, It was supposed,
left for the west. He had frequently
ran counter to the police, but never
for offenses more serious than brawls,
bar-room fighting and petty crime.
Two years ago his father, AAMUIam
McCrone, a huckster, of 212 Charles
street, was stabbed, but not fatally.
The police had to fight their way Into
the house, because the son denied them
admission. He was for some time
thought to have been guilty of the
stabbing, but later tho crime was fixed
upon another, who, however, eluded ar
rest. BUBBLES STRANGELY MADE.
A Hcmnrkablo Scene Witnessed in
tho Pennsylvania Oil Region.
From the Oil City Blizzard.
About half a mile above Franklin, up
tho Erie railroad track, Is to be seen
one of the most curious sights In this
country and one which the reporter
would not believe existed until yester
day, when he went there with a friend.
Approaching a small sluggish stream,
we wero surprised to see rising from
the surface of the water a number of
bubbles, which .glistened In the sun
like glass. It was a ceauttful sight.
The Iridescent spheres revolving swift
ly, after the manner of soap bubbles,
floated rapidly upward, some breaking
at a height of ten or twenty feet, oth
ers soaring away above the tree tops
and out of sight, resembling more than
anything else, gorgeous toy balloons.
These bubbles were all sizes, from an
Inch In diameter to more than a foot.
They were apparently much stronger
and a great deal more brilliant than
ordinary soap bubbles.
A gas line and an oil line had passed
under the run at this point, within a
few inches of' each other, nnd In each
plpr? was a small leak. The digging
and refilling of the trenches had made
a dam which held a few barrels of
stagnant water. There was some al
kali In the muddy "bottom, which, In
combination with the oil, formed sap
onule, a kind of soap. This, while not
being a perfect soap, was sufficiently
saponaceous and cohesive to make
beautiful bubbles when churned by the
escaping gas. Tho fact that the bub
bles were full of gas caused them to
ascend more swiftly, and tho presence
of the oil made them more brilliant,
many colored and unusually beautiful.
Tho bubbles aro rising constantly and
can be seen by any one who desires to
tako a walk out to where they are,
Tho strength of these bubbles may be
Imagined from tho fnct that small
twigs, leaves, etc., had been floating on
the surface of the water and were car
ried up in the largo bubbles.
