WORKED STRONG SWINDLING GAIE Late Monday afternoon it was learn ed that the horse and buggy left by an auknown party at the Shamokln House, had been stolen from Hanter's livery stable at Danville,by one of the sliokest individuals that has visited this seotlon for some time. During Mr. Hunter's absenoe the man who gave hii name as Frank Rug gles, of Grovania, near Danville, ap proaohed his son at the livery stable and said he wanted to hire one of Hunter's best horses to be gone three days in Bnyderoounty to purchase cat tle. Just abont tliiß time a dealer drives up to the stable with a string of buggieß and the sliok swindler im mediately made a purchase of one of the best, giviDg his note for eighty dollars in payment for the same. It seems that the stranger had visited two other livery stables and had hired a horse at each place but returned them olaimlng thoy were not as good as was wanted. When this was learn ed in oonneotion with tl>e purchase of the buggy Hunter gave him one of the beßt horses In the Btable and three valuable robes. Instead of driving to Snyder oonnty the fellow drove to Snnbury, leaving the horse and buggy at the Shamokin House. After bnlug in Snnbury a short time the swindler offered to sell the entire outfit for fifty dollars. Leaving Sunbury he went to a farm several miles below town where he purohased the entire farm and everything upon it. He told the party with wiiom he made the deal that lie should come up to the Shamokin House and get his money. After this nothing more of the fellow was seen. When Mr. Hnnter, Sr., retnrnod home he searched all the barns at §elinsgrove and Shamokin Dam and later Olitef of Police Waltz fonud the missing outfit.—Sunbury Item. Mr. Bookmiller's Beans.

Grabbed Live Wire. Death by eleotrooution was the death nairowly escaped by Motorman Neidlg I of the Sunbury and Northumberland Trolley line, ac Sunbury Sunday af ternoon. As a result of the jumping of the trolley, a stretoli of the feed wire, In the vioinity of the Susquehanna Con verting Works, was torn down and, In handling it, Neidig stopped on a rail, ooinpletiug the oircuit,causing him to sustain a severe shook. Neidig was knocked down and was in a partially nnoonsoious state for a time, but finally reoovered sufficient ly to oontinue at work. To the fact that he had not a firm grasp on the wire Neidig owes his life, as for this reason he did not receive the full strength of the olectrio cur rent. Hall Nearly Finished. The P. O. S. of A.

Strawberry Ridge, and Oarl Wag ner, BOD of O. H. Wagner,Ottawa,two well-known young men of this coun ty, had an ezoiting experience near Allenwood a night or so ago and nar rowly escaped aerions injury. They were attending a festival at Allenwood and abont midnight were returning home when they wore over taken by a heavy thunder shower. The Htorm burst in its fnry just as they reaohed the Baptist Church near Dr. Trnokenmiller's. Frank Allen was driving behind them and oallod to them to drive into the shed oonneoted with the oharoh for shelter. They, were in some doubt in the darkness as to the looation of the gateway and paused for a few moments in the road, a cironmstance Ur. Allen was not aware of, who whipped up his horse expeotiug to dash into the ohuroh en closure after the two yonng men. The oonsequence was lie ran into the first buggy and in an instant there was a frightful mixup of horses, men and a mass of wreckage. To make the mat ter worso the rain poured in torrents, the lightning was vivid and almost continuous,while loud peals of thund er followed in quiet succession. Ur. Wagner, who some time pre viously sustained a fractpreof tlieool lar bone, had not yet reoovered and oarrled liis arm iu a sling. Under the uiroumstances ho was iu uo position to help himself. All fought heroical ly and great as woro the odds escape d with slight bruises. Mr. Alton's bug gy was a total wreok ; the wheels on one side of Mr. Lowrie's buggy were reduced to splinters, but beyond tills the vehicle was not mooh damaged. The party spent the night at Dr. Trnokenmiller's, repairing to their respective homes the next morning. Additional Den Wanted. Ohief Factory Inspector Delaney, of Harrisburg is continuing to experi ence the same trouble about having certificates issued to sohool children whioh he prophesied when the law went into effect in the spring. Immediately after the new statute became operative a hitch oocurred and Captain Delaney then said that the same tronble would be repeated, oulv on an oxtended scale, during tho eigh teen months until the Legislature shall again meet. Under the law no oliild may be em ployed who is under the age of 14. Children from 14 to in may be omploy ed, providing they* hold certificates showing that they are possessed of the necessary qualifications. The trouble now is that no one will Issue theso certificates because the amount of lab or involved is great and the law makes no provision for compensation. The duty of issuing the certificates devolves upon teaohers,priuoipals aud superintendents of the public schools but they refuse to do it unless paid and there is no way of compelling them to do the work. Aud the Depart ment of Factory Inspection feels, fur ther, that it is scarcely right to make thorn do It,even if that oould be done. Before the law was enaoted by tho Assembly. Captain Delaney said the point in question would be a vulner able part of the bill and it lias so proved. Under the old law, repealed by the one now in force, certificates were issued by anyone qualified to ad minister an oath aud the proper fees were provided. Unuer tho oxisting law no provision is made even for pay ing the postage whioh those who issue certificates are oompelled to put upon the envelopes containing returns to the headquarters at Harrisburg. In Philadelphia, Pittsburg aud tho Lehigh mining oountry Captain De laney lias been compellod to employ additional help to issue the certificates but lie must soon dispense with this as the cost is too great. The regular deputy inspectors can not be detailed to do the work in their respective dis tricts as they would then have time for nothing else. The law is hardship on all concern ed, for it pots offloials in the some what uucomfortablo position of being oompelled to disoblige friends aud children over tho legal ago who wish to work are unable to do so tor it is a misdemeanor to employ any child without such a certificate. No remedy is in Bight until the next Legislature. Lackawanna to Build Terminal. The Lakawanna Railroad is plan ning to replace its passenger terminal in Hobokt-n, which was destroyed by fire on August 7.and tlie offioials state no efforts will be spared to do this with the least possible delay. Until the new building is roady tem porary waiting roomß, dining room aud other necessary facilities will bo pro vided. Plans for the now termiual call for a vast ferry and railroad structure witli sixteen tracks and six ferry slips. The buihliugß will be absolutely fire proof. Their construction will be of steel and ooncretc throughout. The main waiting room will be 160 feet and fifty-four feet high, witli onormous windows on all sides. Tlie ' restaurant will be on the main floor, overlooking the water witli a view up and down the river, and a wide bal cony, projecting from tho restaurant for dining out of doors in Summer. Passengers from boats to traius will not be oompelled to pass through tho main watting room, but may use tlie forty-foot oonoourse leading to the tracks. The exterior of the buildiugs will be 600 feet long on tlie river aide, with a oentral tower 225 feet high. This tower will be eleotrioally illum inated at night and iti lighted clock fanes will be one of the noticeable sights of the harbor. Looking for Telegraphers. During the past few days tliere lias been in Wilkesbarre, an agent of tlie Qieat Northern Railroad, for the par pone of securing telegraph operators, to take the plaees of those now on strike throughout the northwest. The men on strike naniber more than fif teen hundred. Big inducements aro being offered the men to take their plaoes, but up to the present time the ■gent is reported as having had poor look. PROPAGATING _SM WORMS Msr. George Qademau, of Riverside, this snmmer took up the propagation of the silk worm with the govern ment. She lia* had a valuable ex perience, both as to the amou nt of care and work involved and the re muneration that is in it. Mrs. Gademan last winter learned that In instanoes where persons desir ed to raise silk worms the Government would furnish the eggs and that when the worms had left their larval state would pay a certain prioo for the oo ooons. Mrs. Gademan wrote the department for information and in reply reoeived a package of eggs accompanied by full instructions how to prooeud to raise silk worms. This was during the early part of Jnne and from that time until the present Mrs. Gaderaau's oozy home in Riverside lias been tho oenter of re markable interest. The quantity of eggs was infiniteeiiually small, yet they wore sufficient to produoe be tween two and three thousand worms. In hatohing, all that is necessary is to spread tho worms out on paper and the aotlon of the summer atmosphere does tho rest. Eighteen days is the poriod required. It was the last of June when the worms made their appearance. From that time on Mis. Gademan found her hands full, indeed, and her house was visited by liandreds of people attract ed by the interesting object lesson showing how the delicate threads aro produoed fiom which the silk of oommerce is prepared. It was truly a wonderful sight. As made their appearanoe it was apparent that tho one room set apart for the useful little insects was not sufiicieut; two other apartmeuts iu a short time had to be added and the silk wormß were masters of the premises. It was just about this time that Mrs. Gademan began to fully realize what she had on iter hands. As is well known the silk worm subsists npon the mulberry leaf, which is by no meauH a plentiful commodity iu this seotion. Mrs. Gademan was well in formed on the subject and she under stood that the mock orange leaf is a satisfactory substitute for the mul berry leaf. On the farm of T. H. Kimbel nearby one of these trees is growing, whioh was finally set apart for the silk worms. When it is slated that ono ounce of eggs will produoe forty thousaud worms and that this number of worms during their larval state will consume over a ton of leaves the contract that the Riverside lady had on her hauds in supplying the sevoral thousand worms iu her care will be readily appreciated. Fortun ately the mock orange tree held out, although now that the worms are done with It it looks as if it had been rid dled by a hail storm. Under their osage orange diet the worms grew rapidly and soon Mrs. Gadoman fonnd the three apartments of her house full of woims two Inches or more in length. Two weeks ago they started to spin their cocoon, a sort of an oblong case in whioh the worm lies during Its chrysalis state. Those who missed seeing the silk worms iu this interesting stago of their existence certainly missed a great deal. About one week was ocou pied in spinning, after whioh noth ing remained but to cure the coooons and prepare to ship them to the do partmeut. The procose of curing con sists iu exposing tho cocoons to a moderate heat oither artificial or that of the sun. A word as to the remuneration. The government pays from seventy cents to one dollar per pound for cocoons. As these must be thoroughly cured it is evident that when they return to the government they do not weigh very much. Over six hundred are required to make a pound. It is very oasy there fore, to figure on the remuneration that Mrs. Gademan will have for the most strenuous summer that sho ever spent in her life. FORTY WERE KILLED BY CRUEL COSSACKS Were Shot Down on the Streets of Polish Town by the Czar's Minions. WARSAW, Poland, Aug.

WORKING TOGETHER FOB DITOBCE LAWS Replies of Governors of the States to Governor Pennypaoker's olroalar letter requesting 00-operation in form ing a national commission to oodify the divorce laws make interesting read log as showing the plenary authority in the premises already vested in many of the executive officers. Others must await the aotion of their respective legislatures. As stated several days ago. Governor Pennypaoker lias reoeived replies from the Governor of every State in the Union, and all of them intimate that 00-operation will be willingly extend ed. Several of the forty-four fellow ex ecutives express regret that they are legally nnable to take aotion in person immediately.

Frank has so far recovered from the elteots of the amputation that he cau get aloug very nioely on orutohes. He is looking very well considering the trying ordeal that he has passed through. The surgeons were able to save the heel and ankle of the foot that was crushed, so that Frank will be able to get aloug through life very well,although it is pretty evident that his days of aotive railroading are over. It is said, however, that as soon as he is able to work a position in another department of the Pennsylvania rail road will be open for hiin.at wliioli he will be able to earn a oomfortable livelihood. Twioe the young railroader was ter ribly lnjored while on duty, while on another oooasion ha escaped instant death by a hair's breadth. It is gratify ing that after suoh experiences he has prospects ahead removed from a life of so muoh peril. Breach of Promise. A summons in assumpsit for breaoh of promise of marriage was filed on Saturday by Olara L. Shaffer, known aB the most beantlful woman iu the township of Washington,Suyder coun ty, against Johu F. Droese, a prosper ous yonug farmer of the same town ship. Damages to the extent of 110,000 are asked. Plaintiff and defendant are each about twenty-four years old. The statement in the case has not yet been filed, but the lawyer for the girl says that the facts, whioh will be affirmed on tho part of tho plaintiff will be more than ordinarily sensa tional. This is the first breach of promise suit to be brought iu Snyder oeunty courts,and for this reason it will elicit intense interest. Immediately follow ing the of this writ a sum mons in trespass for slandor was filed by the same plaintiff against the same defendant, and was served by the sheriff. It Is said that Dreese prossed his suit for the hand of the fair maiden for throe years, introduolug her to his friends and acquaintances as his in tended bride. He even went so far as to ask her father for his permission to wed. Several months ago, Dreese married another woman. P. O. 5. of A. Picnic.

The deoision to put down a con crete pavement oarried with it an order to remove tho troes, which, if permitted to stand, the Commission ers beliove, would make a good job im possible. It is therefore feared that the matter is regarded as settled. One of the Commissioners Saturday, with out stating just what the intention of the Board is in the premises,said they would like to defer to the wishes of the petitioners, although it was very lato to call a halt on tho work as plan ned and contracted foi. The petitioners have not abandoned hope. Tlioy would like to see the Com missioners postpone the removal of the trees as long as possible, hoping that at tlie last "moment some solution may be suggested whereby the trees may be spared. They now suggest that only the poorer of the trees be removed, that every other one for instance be left stand and that in laying the con crete pavement, if flagstone is lui praotioable, provision be made for the growth of the trees by leaving a cir cle uncovered around the roots as Is frequently done in other cities. Back to the Pay Car. ' Experiments now beiug made by the P. li. R., indicate an early retnrn to the Rood old days of tlio pay car and the payment ol employee of monthly wages by oasli instead of hy check. The latter systoui, after a trial of 85 years lias been found to have its dis advantages. and the company is ex perimenting on certain divisions with payments in cash. The objections to the oiieok system are varied. In many instances the em ployes aro remote from the banks up on which their cheoks are drawn, and are put to some inconvenience and ex pense at times in securing tiie money. In other instances employes have ab sented themselves from their work for days, on plea of haviug to get a check cashed. Probably the strongest objection on the part of the company is that tiie i check system tends to the employes frequenting saloons in order to get their checks oashed, By this practice they IO.HO a Miscount and are also prone to fall into habits not at all consistent witli good railroading. Victim is Unable to Talk. The little town of Wiufield, about four miles below Lewisburg, has a mystery. About ten days ago, a well dressed stranger got off the evening train in Winfleld. Ho was accompanied by a young man in a new dark blue suit and a straw hat. The younger of the two was abont twenty years old. Proceeding to tiie Hyman Hotel, the elder man, without registering, socur ed a room foe tiie young man. He paid the bill and remarked that the rateß wero much lower than in New York Oity. He then said that lie was going away on the night train but that the young man's sister would be along in the morning and would make arrangements to stay some time at tiie hotel. The older man left,and nothing was thought of the matter until tho next day whon the sister failed to arrive. Attempts to got information from the strange guest failed in elioiting any answer. Ha seotned to be speeohloss. After repeated questioning, howeyer, he several times answered "yes" and "no." But nothing defiuite oonltl be learned from him. Ho had several dollars in his pockets and this monoy he turned over for his board for the next day or two and tiien indioated that his fnnds wero exhaust ed. No word has buon received from the man who left the yonth and no sister lias as yet made her appearauoe. Noth ing was found about the yoang man in any way to identify him. After re peated efforts to loarn his name, lie finally sucoeoded in writing "Irvin Ronzle," bnt gave no plaoe of resi dence. When shown corn he named it "fin mentum. " Potatoes he called "grum bora." Beyond this he made no effort to talk, but seemed satisfied to sit, gazing into vacanoy. He shows no signs of dementia, but appears to be da/.ed. The hotel keeper is becoming anxi ous about his board bill.anil the town ship authorities fear that apaupor has been unloaded on them. Everyone in town is inn state of perplexity to know how to got rid of the youth. Tiie landlord says lie anuuiit keep him indefinitely• and tiie township authorities say that, as lie has no resi dence them, they are not obliged to take care of him. PROHIBITION STATE CONVENTION.
