In the criminal court of Allegheny
county, last Saturday, Mrs. Soffel was
sentenced to the penitentiary for two
years, aud was taken directly from the
Court room to that place; Walter Dor
man was sentenced to be hung, but his
sentence will probably bo commuted to
life imprisonment. Mrs. Soffel "is now
a full-fledged convict, and is one of the
| ' girls" in the female department of ihe
I big prison. The women in the pen. are
I all known as "girls," although most of
them are older than the latest acquisi
tion to the strange lot. Most ot the
women who are serving time at River
side are black; and save in a few in
stance#, they were convicted for mur
der or for being accessories to murders.
Among these women Mrs. Soffel will

enthusiasm exhibited on behalf of the
colored race that ho decided to send the
colored offender to Massachusetts in the
hope that the worshipers of the baked
bean might enjoy his society. Boston
will be horrifed, and the rest of the
countrv will grin, though making a joke
of a serious offense against the jaw
cheapens the whole machinery of State

I Judge McJnnkin's stable was burned,
late Monday night. It was rented to T.
1 A. Morrison, whose delivery horse was
! burned to death. There was some bav
in the stable, and the intense heat
cracked the windows and set fire to the
Masseth & Black machine shop across
the alley, bnt the firemen had no trouble
saving it.
The entire roof of the West Penn's
round house, in Butler, was discovered
to be burning, last Snnday evening, the
water pressure was low. and the build
ing and one engine were badly damaged
The - fire is supposed to have had its
origin in the spontaneous combustion
of the oily waste used to clean the
engines. A barrel of gasoline in the
room did not t)ke fire though the barrel
was charred, and a can of oil in the
cupboard did not explode though the
cupboard was burned.
Sheridan station, on the Pan Handle
road, a mile or two west of Pittsburg,
was the scene of a remarkable calamity,
last Monday evening In switching
cars to make up a train a couple of tank
cars containing naphtha were bumped
together, which caused one of them to
leak, the oil took tire from a switch
light, there was an explosion, and fire,
which in turn was communicated to
two cars of oil. which also burned
This made agrcat fire, and hundreds of
people flockei to the scene and were
watching it when three more tank cars,
containing naphtha exploded, scattering
the burning stuff over th- crowd, burn
ing several people to death, and hund
reds of others seriously.

RUNNING CHANCES
is the nun who buys the cheap and
iioorly made clothing simply because it
is cheap. There are just as good bar
gains to be had in good grades of goods,
such for instance as our S2O suits.
Running Chances is the mRn who
rushes from this "alteration sale" to
that "closing out bargains." The safe
way is to patronize the firm that does
business on the same principles you do.
You know what you nave to deal with
then. You Ret honest goods for honest
prices, and don't save twenty-five cents
nere to throw away seventy-five cents
there.
Chances are Not Running away from
you, bat yon are running away from
the chances for the best bargain* of the
