The prisoners, James and John Hoddy and Kichard Jackson, w ero brought into court by Sheriff Hoover and his deputies. District Attorney Col born maiuuined that they had forfeited their right for a halieus corpus hearing when they had demanded a hearing liefore a Justice of the Peace at tbe time they w ere commit ted to jail. The Court took another view of the case and directed that evidence e offered to show w hy the prisoners should not be admitted to bail. The first w itness called was Mrs. Caro line lierkey, a pleasant-faced lady, w ho said that she w as 71 years of age aud tbe wife of David Berkey. Coiiliuuing, the w itness testified that she was at home and asleep on tbe night of June 2nd, w hen two robliers broke into her ho-ue and appeared liefore the bed iu w hich her husband and she were sleeping. The robbers held pistols at her husband's head and demanded his money. He told them they would find w hat they were looking for iu his vest pocket. After securing tbe money iu his vest the rob bers returned to the bed and strapped Mrs. Berkev's hands behind her bask aud fast to a bed post. Her husbaud was strapped fast in a rocking chair. Then thenbter turned over the bed clothes and found a quantity of silver hidden in tbe lied tick. Not satisfied with tho amount of money they had found, the robljers burne. the soles of Mr. Berkey s feet w ith a candle and witu pieces oi i paper and finally w ith the flame of au oil lamp iu a mad effort to make him reveal the hidiug place of a supposed large amount of money and government bonds. The defenseless old man insisted that there was no more money in the house. and after the cowardly rascals bad beaten him into a state of almost insensibility thev lied from the building. A daughter of tho venerable couple, w ho occupied a lvedroom on the scroiid floo ., heard the disturbance down stairs aud iu an effort t. is,-mA from the house by way of a window in order Ut alarm the ueightiors. foil to the ground and sustained a fractur ed ankle and internal injuries from which she sulisciuently died. The old man. who w as suffering excruciating pain from the burns inflicted upon his feet, managed to release himself from the c hair, w hen he released his wife, who went to the as sistance of their injured daughter. Mrs. Berkev identified James Roddy positive ly as one of the robriers. His mask fell from his face while he was in the house ami she got a fair look at him. She testi tied that she had seen him at her home once liefore, on the evening of May 21st. She sai.l that she " as not frightened by the robbers, as she placed her faith in tbe Lord. J. A. Berkey, Esq., w ho appeared for the prisoners, was unable to shake her testimoiiv on cross-examination. Wm. J. Horner, who is a tenant on the Berkey farm, aud resides a short distance from the scene of the robbery, testified thai two of his horses had beeu stolen from his rn on the night of June 2nd. He tracked them to Berkey's were they had lieen tied, and w here the ground in dicated they had stood for about one hour. He recovered his horses next day. near Scalp Ievel. Jackson Ripple, a bright lad of aliout 12 years of age, swore that two men, w hoiu he identified as James Roddy and Richard Jackson, had passed his lather's house on tbe evening of May 2ih, when they iuo,uired the road to Berkey's. He saw tw o men on the evening of June 2ud, whom he took to ! the same parties. Garrett Ream testified that he had pass ed two men, w hom he identified in the most positive terms as James Roddy and Richard Jackson, on a public road about one mile from Scalp Level, between sev en and eight o'clock on the evening of June 2nd. They turned their faces away from him as be passed them and tailed to respoud when be saluted them. Henry Foust also saw James Roddy and Jackson traveling in the direction of Berkey's on the same evening, as did Samuel Allison, who was the next wit nessed called. George Hay saw John Roddy traveling tow ards Berkey's on the evening of May 2sth aud agaiu on June 2nd. He was not positive as to his coinpauioii, but thought il was James Roddy. The Commonwealth rested with the testimoiiv offered aliove and asked that bail be fixed at HOW for each of tbe pris oners. The Associate Judges thought tue amount tiauicd excessive, and linully fixed it at fl.sou lor each of the defend nuts. The prisoners were returned to jail iu default of bail. The Commonwealth did not offer all of the evidence it has collected, merely enough to bold the prisoners for Court. Distri-t Attorney Collsirn has a letter from the physician atteuding Mr. Berkey iu w hich it is slated that the old gentle men is in a very critical condition. In the eveut of Mr. Berkey's death, the prisoners will in all prolability lie in dicted fex murder. Jamts Roddy, who was positively identified as oueof the robbers, by Mrs, Berkey, appeared quite nervous while that lady was on the w itness stand. The theory of the Commonwealth is that John Roddy remained outside, watching the horses, while his brother aud Jacksou did the robbing. Distrii-t Attorney Cojboru says the Commonwealth is prepared to make out a strong ease against all of the defendants.

Hauck, clerk at tbe Canieion House, Lewisburg, Pa., is said to have in his possession a most remarkable forma tion which is said to have bcec taken from tbe stomach of a white deer by M r. Hauck's father. If applied to a bite into which poison has been injected it at once draws it out aud when its pores are filled it falls off. Tbe stone resembles a petri tied sponge, and can be used repea tedly. Tbe reason these stones are found in the stomach of a white deer, as handed down from the Indians, is given as fol lows: A w hite deer is more susceptible to vegetable poisons taken into the stomach with grass. To preserve the lite of the animal nature has placed in its stomach this porous stone which at once almorbs tbe poison, neutral izett it and saves the deer's life. Tbe other day Mr. Hauck took the stone to Williamsport and applied it to the sw ollen limb of a uiau who had been bitten by a dog supposed to be luad. Tbe stone stuck first like a piece of steel to magnet. After two applications the swell ing was entirely reduced, and the suffer ing of the patient relieved. Tbe stone was also applied to the limb of C. II Hassenplug, who had suffered for several mouths from a dog bite, and the swelling aU(j pain aoon dissappeared. It is said that there are but fmr such stones in the country. Are Too Going to Sohoolt Now is the time to decide when and where. The tall term of tbe California, Pa., State Normal begins Sept. 7.

A Snake's Preemption. Mrs. Margaret Thompson, of Clark's Mills, Mercer County, Pa., was painfully bitten by a snake Tuesday. She was in a spring house when she felt something bite her on the left leg. As quickly as possible she put her band down and felt a snake wrapped around her limb. She uncoiled it, but its fangs were fastened into the flesh, and the snake's mouth had to lie pried open liefore she was able to release herself. The limb was swollen to twice its nat ural size, and it was feared she would die. Tbe snake was not of a poisonous species. Best Endowed.

The rate of $10 for the round trip is phe nomenally low, considering the distance and the high character of the service ; the limit of twelve days just fiU the time set apart for the average vacation, and the dates of the excursions are most conve- iently adjusted.

Atlantic City, Cape May, Sea Isle City, and Ocean City are the choicest of the Atlantic coast resorts, and any one of them may be visited under those arrange ments.

Tbe fatality among horses in New York was something awful. Their carcasnes could not be removed from the streets as fast as they fell in some places. Forty two died for one street-car company in one day. A BLOW TO DEMOCRACY. Robert E. Wright Betigne The Stte Chair manship. AtLKNTowjr, Pa., Aug. ". Roliert E. Wright, chairman of the Democratic State Central committee, has resigned. because of his inability Ut accept the doc trine enunciated by the National conven tiou in the platform adopted at Chicago, aud his letter of resignation, addressed to Matt Savage, secretary of the committee, at Clearfield, is a scorching arraignment. not only of the framers of tho platform. but of those Iiemocrats who, holding op posite convictions have suborilinaicu them to party fealty. The letter to Secre tary Savage is as follows: I hand you my resignation of the chairmanship of the State Central com mittee, and authorize you to present it at the meeting which has been called for August 13. "In relinquishing tbe position, I feel that it is due to the committee, from which I have always received tbe most cordial support, as well as just to myself, that I should freely declare to them the reasons impelling me to this conclus ion. "Entrusted at the Allentow n conven tion with the work of preparing the out line of a platform for iu consideration, I submitted a financial plank which was truthfully declared in the platform itself to Ihj expressive of the sentiments of the united Ilemocraey of Pennsylvania. "To that declaration I cordially suli scribed in April, aud it accords with my convictions now. "I believe it expresses the views of a large majority of tbe Democrat of Penn sylvania at this time. "lean not bring myself to lielieve that tbe hundreds of Democratic newspapers. aud hundreds of thousands of Democratic voters in this State, who in June of this year proclaimed their adherence to the Allentown platform, were augnt out sin cere then, nor that they have abandoned their opinions since, "It is apparent, ui the contrary, that they have but subordinated their own convictions to the decree of the Chicago convention. "In this submission to that decree I, for one, cannot join. "It w as brought aliout by undemocratic influences and gives expressions to doc triues uot only subversive to all that Democracy has taught on the subject, but which I lielieve will bring dishonor upon tbe country, incalculable harm to iU peo ple and disaster to our party. "I am a Iemoerat lieeause ) lielieve iu that code of governmental doctrines that for nearly a quarter of a century has stood for Democracy in this country. "Party organization and a submission to majorities in duly organized party tri bunals are doubtless of great importance. Yet they are but instrumentalities to an end. They cease to lie useful when cor- reel principles are abandoned, liccomc absolutely dangerous when false doc trines and unrighteous purposes are pro claimed. " I conceive that the most dangerous demonstration of the past month, is to be found iu the apparent ease with w Inch a great Hilitical party has lieen sudder.ly turned from is well settled convictions to views diametrically their opposite, for no other reason than berause an accidental and temporary majority in party conven tion has so ordered. "When it comes to pass that political parties are mere machines, swayed at w ill by leaders and conventions, instead of lieing aggregations of individual thinkers moved bv some common and intelligent purpose for good, an evil time will have come to the republic. "Tested by clearly defined, aud oft re peated declarations of Democratic doe- trine, the Chicago platform in my judg ment is not a Iemocratic utterance. It is coldly received or openly opposed by hundreds of thousands of life long Iieino- crats, and by the great leaders in w hom the party has trusted; while it is hailed u-ilK l.iiutunui. ilami.n.lrtitii.na tt an. proval by political organ ir-nt ions with which the Democracy has hitherto had no sympathy. "Abandoning the sound money doc trines always upheld by our party, this platform proposes to flood the country with a deliascd silver currency, and com pel its circulation at double its intrinsic value. For the first time in the history of civilized countries it is iutended that silver shall be freely coined into money without limit as to quantity, and w ilhout reference to its intrinsic worth. "No pledge is made for its redemption. no provision for maintaining it on a parity with gold. On the contrary, the means that have enabled the present ad ministration to maintain the credit of the government, and to keep the present issues of silver equal to gold, are now to te taken from it. Its protecting hands are to lie tied, while the wage earners and thrifty citizens of the country are left to hear the losses that in my opinion would Is? inevitable. Not content with burden ing the country with this terrible load of depreciated silver, it is proposed to add to it unlimited issues of greenbacks , re deemable in this debased coin. Thectirxo of an irreaeemable paper money, that has wrong lit ruin 111 every country that ever resorted to it and against which the Ilemocratic party has ever consistently fought, is to be viited upon us. "The power to borrow money to meet its current obligations and maintain its credit, a power inherent in the smallest sub-division of local government, is to be taken from the general govern incut. leaving its honor an J credit the snort of irresponsible speculators upon national disaster. WORST SYSTEM KVKK DKVlHIMI. "The be-tt and safest system of banic inz and of paper money the world has ever seen, is Ut be stricken down to be replaced by the worst that the ingenuity pf man has ever devised. ''In lG a National Democratic conven tion, at the dictation of the South and ex treine West, declared in favor of the freest possible issue of banking currency, aul in IS!: at the behest of tho same sec tions it declares against all such issues. ''Then we declared that our gold and silver coin metals must be of eiitial in trinsic value, and that tbe parity of all issues must be maintained; now we de nounce intrinsic equality and make pari ty of value Impossible "The Chicago platform attacks the Su preme court of tho country, and makes a covert threat to reorganize it, so that its decisions may be reversed. No act in the bistory of the Republican party ever re ceived severer condemnation from Iieui ocrtey than did its prostitution of the S11 preine court in the same way, during the administration of President lirant. "It invites anarchy by denouncing President Cleveland for following tho ex ample of Jackson in enforcing Federal laws by the armed power of government when riot reigned in Chicago. "With these declarations of principles and policy and with the influences be hind them, I have no sympathy. "Much as I love Democracy and revere its history, I can not follow those who have stolen its banners while trampling on its principles. "Opposition to this platform means fidelity to Democracy and to country, to liberty, to progress, to all that is worth preserving in American civilization."
