Bonerttt Township Citiaene Act th Part of "Come Ons," ASD 8UCCEI0 IH TSAPPIHO GOODS" GAS 3. The follow ing special dispatch was sent out Thursday night from Alleutow n, Pa: A gangof green gisd men were cautht red-handed to-day while trying to cloee a deal w i;h two supposed farmers. The po lice who made the arrest think they have caught Jack Ryan, of New York, the head of a notorious band of swindlers. The story of the capture is an Interest ing, one. About a year ago We! don G. Will, of Somerset county, came to Allen town and was fleeced by green goods men, w ho. at the revolver's point, robbed him of f VO and sent him home with a lot oi counterfeit tuouey. Will bad no alter native but to go. However, he swore to be revenged, and to day bis oath was ful filled. Some months sgo his ancle, Philip Will and Charles Weigle received green-goods circulars and decided to corue to Allen town and help yourg Will to "do" the swindlers. They opened up acorreppondet.ee with Mayor Lewis, and, following his Instruc tions, disguised themselves as baci- woods men and came to Allentown on Tuesday morning and met the greeu goods mer. They registered et the American Hotel under assumed names. The steerer soon came and conducted them to a downtown place, where they were Bhown fTOO in "green goods." Mayor Lew is bad Instructed the "come ons" not to go beyond the city limits, and employed Fred H. Roi-hard to follow the paiiy and keep the police pos ed by ttl's pboue as to their movements. BIO LOT OF "GOOIIS.'' The stcerer took the vict'iis to a house in Catasauqua, where they wr;a shown a valise supposed to be filled with 20,Cuu worth of counterfeit moucy, and where the dtnl with the "old man" was to bo cotisuiuinated. The "come ons" stated that they had left their money at the hotel and would not be able to make the deal until to-day. This morning the supposed victims left the hotel separately and met the three green goods men at Sixth and Washing ton streets, w here they boarded a car for Catasauqua. In the meantime the police were kept informed of the new arrange ment, and early in the day Chief Harrity aud Sergeant Knaus stationed themselves at the lower Catasauqua bridge to watch the cars. Officers Whitehead, Smith and Frederick w ent to Catasauqua in a cab and were distributed along Front street. The understanding was that theofficers were to surround the house by concerted sction, but Officer Smith and Sergeant Kna'ir, rroo umd joined them, forced their way intothc hou.'e where the green goods deal was going on. A '. the sight of the officers theswindlers scattered, the fellow with the valise con taining the green goods oscnping through a secoud-story window. The officers, however, arrested the man supposed to le Ryan, and the steerer. They were placed in charge of S rgeant Knaus, and w hile Officer Smith was sra: t hing the house, Ryan made a dash out of the b- ck door, but OiScer Smith's revolver brought him back. Meanwhile the steerer, who wis handcuffed, escaped out of the front donr. The sergemt fired two shot at the fellow w ho jumped out cf a second story window, but they did not halt him. Ryan, who is chief of the garg, is about 65 years of age. He had f 100 and a lot oi jewelry in his clothes. He was commit ted to jail by Alderman Keiler. Officer Frederick and Sergeant Knaus searched the house and found a complete green goods outfit. The Wills and Weigle re turned home Saturday. They expect to receive a reward for trapping the gang.

The January number of "The Book of the Royal Blue," published by the Bal timore aud Ohio Railroad, is out, and contains much Interesting reading mat ter, and the historical record of the origin of station names is worthy of preserva tion. This record explains some of the station names iu Pennsylvania as follows : Confluence So named, being the con fluence of three streams, the Casselmau, I-aurel Mill cretk and Youghiogheny. The township was named Turkeyfoot by General George Washington during B ad dock's march to Fort Duqutsne, the old Braddock road being less than five miles from this point. Called Turkeyfoot be cause the confluence is formed In the sbepe of a turkey's foot. A trading post w as established here at the begiuu.ng of the eighteenth century, aud near by was one of the earliest settlements in West ern Pennsylvania. OhioPyle On the Youghiogheny Riv er. Beautiful scenery, wild and moun tainous. A favorite mountaiu resort of Pittsburg. Fort Necessity, three miles away, where Washington surrendered to the French, July 4, H5t Cucumber Falls. First battle of the French and Indian Sev en Years' War. Fort Hill A few miles below Pinker- ton, and in full view of passing trains Is Fort Hill, a high hill covered w tth earth works, erected during the French and In dian War. The fort, w hich measures ten acres in enclosure, is perfect in every wav, the entry Ixdng visible from the cars. The enclosure is as level as a floor, and all banks, floor, etc.are covered w ith luxuriant sod. When discovered, though ait the surroundings were primeval for est, not a tree w as within oroa any part of this foiL The work is ascribed to Mound Builders, but as yet no investiga tions have been made. Sand Patch Elevation 2,25 feet, so call ed because early in theceulury two broth ers, named Gibbler, quarreled, ami one waa fatally shot by the other. The trage dy occurred near a Urge deposit of sand, aud was referred to by witnesses during the trial as the "sand pitch." When the railroad was built the name was given bi the tunnel, and later to the station. At this point is the Atlantic-M ircsissippi wa tershed. Here the railroad attains the greatest altitude on this division. The summit of the mountain over the tunnel is 2,io7 feet above tidewater. Sepuhlieaa Primary.

Sorgeant Edward Stsotou Forney, son of S. S. Forney, of Berlin, w ho ia uow in his eighth year of Uncle Sam's service as a member of tbe Second U. S. heavy ar tillery, writes to his father in part as fol low s: Savax.i x 11, Ga., December 22, 13! Deak Fathur: I rseeived your letter addressed to me at this piacea few days since. We have been here a little over three weeks. The weather has been very cool, except the last few days. We did not expect to find such cold weather down here, and many cf its suffered from the cold and damp until we bonght oil stoves. We are camped alut one mile from the city. We turned out on parade Ist Sat urday, and were reviewed by the Presi dent. The artillery made a magnificent ami impressive apptarane. The morn ing being cool, we turned out in over coats with capos turned back, exposing the red lining. We marched in columns of f.jurs from cr.np .to Savannah, in a line a!oiit a mile l.ing. When we reach ed Savannah we inarched through the city to De Soto Park, w here the troops as sembled, We arrived at the park at ten a. m., and were k"pt waiting for two hours. No one wasrdlowed to leave the ranks. This was tiresome. It is claimed that the piirk contains ten acres, and it appeared to.be a solid mass of soldiers after the troops were all assembled. The salute to the President on his arri val at the park was fired by F Battery, of o M regiment. This battery took an im portant part ln the battle cf Santiago, aud for this reason attracted much attention, leing the only command in the w hole re view tbat saw any artl ve service. There were many scenes during the pa rade tbat were impressive. One of the Louisiana regiments came marching by the President, its band playing "Trajnp, Tramp, tlie Boys are Marching," turning the tune to "Suwanee" River," thr-n to "When Johnny Comr s Marching Home." The pes-.ple went wild with cheers, aud the President smiled. We had a very gr-od view of the Presi dent as we parsed the reviewing stand. He looks much ol Jrr than he did when I saw him at Somerset only a little over a year ago. The almost day and night w ork and strain of the last ten months are tell ing in the features of the President. He has touched the hearts of the Southern people as no other President had liefore, and some of the words ho spoke and the sentiments he uttered on this Southern visit no doubt will make some of the most shining pages of tbe future history of our glorious country. He has changed the opiuions of all classes of ppople. I can not tell when our regiment will be moved to Cuba. The corps is divided into two div isii.ns. The last of the sec ond division left for Cuba yesterday, and the first commences to move to morrow. It may take the first division twocr three weeks for all to get away. Oi.e transport carries one regiment. Some of the larger boats carry more. There are from twelve t o fifteen recjim ills in. a division. I do not expert to have such pleasant t. m's this Christmas as before, this b;-ing the first one v.-e par. iu teuls. r.liWARD. Eoms 7ttcd for Children.
