The Umbrella Saved His Life.
The Mt Pleasant Journal is responsible for
the following story about Rev. John M.
Burnett, well known in this place. Rev.
Barnett carried an umbrella that bora the
marks of hard service. This umbrella, th
Journal says, saved the owner's life. Th
circumstances were as follows :
Last summer when be was abroad doin g
Europe '" Palestine he journeyed to
Ephcsua, one of the twelve Ionian cities of
Asia Minor, which history tells us was found
ed by the Amazons, whose legendary con
nection is with that of Diana. Wishing to
visit the ruins of of the temple dedicated to
that goddesn, the party got horses and were
about to depart, when the liveliest kind of a
time hsppened by the animals engaging in a J
riot.
The bluestocking pastor had just mount
ed when the row opened and a savage-look
ing loose horse bore down upon bint with
wide open mouth. The blood in the rever
ned gentleman's veins is of the true bios
American order that don't permit of flight
although the rider was defenseless save fir
the umbrella aforesaed. Yankee ingenuity
soon brought it into play. Never did knight
of old handle his lance with greater skill
than did my old friends his umbrella. The
first onslaught ended in the attacking party
catching the iron furrule on the right tonsil.
and first blood was allowed for the pastor,
who closed one eye for his antagonist in the
next round, and loosened a rib or two in the
third and last go by becoming the aggressor.
The badly used op animal threw up the
sponge, turned tail and disappeared in
cloud of dust toward Smyrna at the sight of
the victor dismounting and hoisting his
trusty weapon.,

A Jobbery ftun to Earth.
Harry Slitmen, a prominent merchant of
Mill Vale, Westmoreland county, was arrested
Thursday, chafed with having robbed tbe
boBM of John Camahan of K 300 in cash
last August Cpoo bis arrest Stitman made
a conieasiai that be bad received money
from Jacob McNally, Carnahan's hired man,
on th day after the robbery. McNal y was
suspected from tbe first.
The robbery was committed oa tbe I3tb or
14th of last August. Camahan is an old and
wealthy bachelor farmer, the hist of several
brothers, whose cash and farms he has in
herited as they died off. He is worth about
1 150,00. Camahan bad a great distrust of
banks and kept his money and valuables se
creted in various parts of tbe house. On the
13th of last August Camahan had $18,000 in
cold gold buried in Lis cellar. In a cup
board in kis room he kept a square desk.
Tbe latter was padlocked and the key was
kept in a desk in the same room. On the
morning of August 14, Carnahan's house
maid found tbe dosk broken open and an ax
lying on tbe floor. Tbe girl was afraid to
tell ber master of it, as she thought bs would
accuse her of tbe deed.
In the evening when Camahan retired he
made the discovery of the open desk. He
found tbe key to ths tin box gone, and,
running to the cupboard, discovered the box
with the lid open and ths key beside it It
had been rifled of $6,300, which it contained
in bank cotes, but $13,000 in United StaUe
bonds had been left behind by tbe robber.
Camahan immediately notified his attor
ney, and detectives were set to work on the
case. McNally was instantly suspected and
two men were placed on the farm to ferret
out the facts. As a result of their efforts,
Sutmsn was arrested. He was sent to tbe
Greensburg jail in default of $2,000 bail.
Mr. Cam ban has thought belter of banks
since the robbery, and has unearthed bis
$ 18,000 and placed it in a bank.

bearing on the state campaign, and each
had a talk with Watres. Magee assured the
state chairman that Western Pennsylvania
was in good shape and that Allegheny coun
ty would give the state ticket from 10,0u0
to 12,000 majorty. He said the people gen
erally look upon Gregg and Morrison as ex
cellent candidates, entitled to the loyal sup
port of every Republican. Messrs. Magee
and Andrews went west to-night Senator
Quay expects to leave for home to-morrow
evening.
