Considerable excitement was caused
nmoiiK our townspeople last Tuesday
night at 12 o'clock by the alarm of fire,
which proved to be the large barn and
silo of. Horace Seamans, which was
situated Just over the borough line and
In La Plume borough. How the fire
originated seems to be a puzzle, as the
llames were first discovered In the roof
of tho barn. The firemen were power
less, as there are no plugs near enough
to reach the lire. The barn and Its
contents, consisting of the season's
crops, were totally destroyed. The
live stock was rescued.

There was quite a large nlltllenco
present In Music hall on Tuesday even
ing to listen to the rendition of tho

sation between thorn took place a

closed. The- second scene portrayed the
Interior of the house and Annie, the
chambermaid, awoke Johnnie, tho
chore boy. Their part was highly hu
morous and enjoyable. The third
scene represented Farmer Happyway
and family seated at the breakfast
table, and at the close of the meal,
Mose Raykltt, a neighboring farmer,

by those present at the table. The

Tho disease seems to be of a milder
type than at first reported, nnd as tho
hoard of health and the people of the
town aro observing nil possible pre
cautions to restrict Its spread, It Is
likely that the disease will be confined
to tho present number of cases. In
one or two Instances It has transpired
that diphtheria was reported where
there was nothing existing but a simple
sore throat, resulting from a cold. Tho
effect of tho scare has proved bene

A Now York I'ollcomnu Promoted for
Signal (nlliiiitrv.
Throdoro Roosevelt, in tho Century.
Among the first promotions wo made
were two which Illustrated tho attitude
nf the board toward cases of this kind,
and which also Incidentally Illustrated
exactly what wc mean by "taking tho
force out of politics" that Is, by ad
ministering It on principles of decency,
and appointing and promoting men on
their merits, without regard to their
political backing. The first case was
that if an old fellow, a veteran of tho
civil war, who was at the time a
roundsman. I happened to notice one
day that ho had saved a woman from
drowning, and had him summoned so
that I might look into tho matter. The
old fellow brought up his record be
fore me, and showed not a little ner
vousness and agitation; for It appeared
that he had grown gray In the service,
had performed feat after feat of hero
Ism, but had no political backing of
any account. He was a Grand Army
man, but not one of tho "political" type,
nnd so had not received any attention
from the former police boards; and
now, at last, he thought there was a
chance for him.
He had been twenty-two years on tho
force, and during that time had saved
some twenty-five persons from death
by drowning, varying the performance
once or twice by saving persons from
burning buildings. Twice congress had
passed laws especially to empower the
then secretary of the treasury, John
Sherman, to give him a medal for dis
tinguished gallantry In saving life. Tho
Life Saving society had also given him
Its medal, and so had the police de
partment. On examining Into his rec
ord carefully, we found that It was
wholly free from complaints of any
Infraction of duty, and that he was
sober and trustworthy. We felt that
he was entitled to his promotion, and
he got it. We did not know his poll
tics, nor did wo care about them. It Is
very unlikely that the woman whom
he last saved, as he swam out toward
her, felt any special Interest as to
whether he had voted for Cleveland or
Harrison; nor did we. He had risked
his life freely ngaln and again In the
performance of his duty; ho had con
ducted himself so as to be a credit to
the department, and a credit to the
city; and we felt that he was entitled
to his reward.
It Is worth while mentioning that he
kept on saving life after he was pro
moted to a sereeantcy. On Oct. 21,
1896,he again saved a man from drown
ing. It was at night, nobody else was
in the neighborhood, and the slip from
which he Jumped was In absolute dark
ness, and he was about ten minutes In
tho water, which was very cold. The
captain of the precinct, In reporting
the case, said: "The sergeant was off
the bulkhead and Into the water after
his man quicker than It takes to say
"Jack Robinson.' " There vvas no way
In which the board could reward him
for this, except by telling him that he
was an honor to the department; for
he had been given all the medals, and
bars to the medals, that he could be
given. It was the twenty-ninth per
son he had saved during his twenty
three years' service In the department,
and he was fiftv-flve years old when
he saved him.
A SIOKY OF STANLEY.
Ills Second Proposal to Miss Dorothy
Teniiunt Nuccsslul.
From the the Youth's Companion.
A pretty story of how Heniy M.
Stanley wooed and won Mis Dorothy
Tennant, though coming to us from
private sources, has been made suf
ficiently public to avert the charge of
undue personality. Miss Tennant, It
Is well known, was the original of Sir
John Mlllals' famous picture, "Yes or
No?" It seems that Stanley had asked
the question and tho reply vvas "No."
The great explorer went to Africa
again, and after several years returned
to London to find himself the most-talked-of
man of tho day.
Tho thought of Miss Tennant was
still uppermost In his mind, and he
resolved that his first visit should be
to her. home. In his Impatience for tho
morrow he turned over the cards and
notes with which the tablp was strewn,
nnd, selecting one haphazard, decided
to while away the time by attending
a certain reception.
The first person ho met there was
Miss Tennant. They greeted each other
formally, but later In the evening Stan
ley retired to a smull anteroom, to find
that Miss Tennant had likewise sought
solitude. A somewhat embarrassing
silence ensued, broken by the woman
saying, like one "making conversa
tion:" "Do you find Loudln much changed,
Mr. Stanley?"
"No,I haven't found London changed,
and I've not chanced either," returned
the explorer, with his usual Intrepid
ity. "Have you?"
"Yes, l'vf changed," answered Miss
Tennant, softly.
A few davs later Mlllals received a
note from his former subject, begin
ning: "My Dear Sir John: Tho momentous
question has been at last decided. It
Is a Joyful and triumphant 'Yes!' "

THE MARKETS.
Wnll Street Itrviou
New York, Oct. 27. Tho stock mar
ket looked strong for a time today nnd
the level of prices soon after noon rose
a point or over above last night's close
In many stocks. But a renewal of re
ports that tho Spanish reply to the
representations of this government
vvas of a .tenor that threatened trouble
caused the market to sell off to a point
as much below last night's level as It
had been above In the morning. This
represented a very wide range In the
fluctuations, .extending to 4 points In
Consolidated Gas and about two points
or over In Union Pacific, Sugar, Pacific
Mall and several other stocks, and over
a point for nearly all stocks. Union
Pacific continued to absorb a. large
share of speculative interest and fell
during tho day to within of the low
point of Monday when, the govern
ments announced intention to postpone
the foreclosure sales vvas regarded as
threatening a collapse of the whole re
organization plan. Total sales were
26S.900 shares.

THE PROFESSOR.
Ho Wasn't n Card Miaip Nor u Mes
merist. From the Philadelphia Record.
The train was about to leave the sta
tion, and a young man leaned over tho
seat, shook hands with the middle aged
gentleman, and said:
"Good-by, Professor."
A man with wide stripes In his shirt
bosom looked at him narrowly, and,
after the train started, said:
"Kin ye do any tricks with cards?"
"No; I never touched a card."
"Mobbe ye play the planny?"
"I know nothing of music, excepting
as a mathematical science."
"Well, ye ain't no boxer, I kin see by
yer build. Mebbe ye play pool?"
"No."
"Er shuffleboard?"
"I never heard of the game before."
"Well, say, I've guessed -ye this time.
It's funny I didn't think of it before.
You're a mesmerist."
"I'm nothing of the kind."
"Well, I'll give up. What Is yer line?
I know ye're in the biz, 'cause I heerd
that young feller call ye 'perfesser.' "
"I'm an Instructor in Greek, rhetoric
and ancient history."
"An' yer can't do no tricks, ner play
music, ner hypnotize?"
"Of course not."
The mun turned and gazed out of the
window on the opposite side of the car.
"An' he calls hlsself professor," lie
said to himself.

Why Kerr's Carpets
Are first in popular favor. These are times when few people can afford!
to take chances. Others may talk low prices, fine stocks, etc., but our'
indisputable claim as leaders in the local Carpet and Drapery trade re
