Burglars at Mars and Dowuie
ville.
One of the most skillfnl and daring
crimes ever perpetrated in Butler
county was the robbery of I. S. Jordan
& Co's. store at Mars early Tuesday
morning. The burglars, supposedly
four in number, gained entrance by
cutting through the panel of a rear
door with an extension auger bit and
unlocking the door. They then jim
mied another door to afford easy escape.
Jordan & Co's. big safe cost $250,
was guaranteed to withstand 2-1 hours
drilling and was claimed to be burglar
proof. It was kept unlocked and a card
on it stated this fact. The burglars
could not have noticed this card, for
they filled cracks around the outer door
with soap, poured on a little nitro
glycerine which was allowed to soak
into the soap, attached a fuse, lighted
it, and the lock was destroyed and door
blown open. The same operation
quickly followed on the inner door and
that of the strong box The explosions
must have been terrific as the steel,
half an inch thick and of the hardest
quality was rent asunder like paper.
The noise awakened the neighborhood.
J. W. Groom, who lives near by, got to
the front of the store in time to see a
man make a last grab at the contents of
the safe and flee through a back door
A moment later two buggies rattled
across the bridge on the road leading
eastward through Middlesex twp.
The robbers secured abont SIOO in
money, a lot of jewelry and checks
amounting 'o several hundred dollars,
payment on which was at once stopped
by Messrs. Jordan. The safe was
ruined.
Or) Saturday night a man broke into
the office of the Downie Pump Co. at
Downioville, covered the watchman
■with a revolver, smashed the inner door
of the safe with a hammer, secured S2O
and made his escape. The money be
longed to the firm's yonn« lady type

A point of law with regard to fishing
on Sunday is being discussed generally
in this locality Fish Warden Scber
merhorn of Stoneham recently arrested
a man for indulging in the sport on the
Sabbath day and had him arranged be
fore a North Clarendon Justice of the
Peace. The latter discharged the de
fendant- Mr. Schermerhorn apprehend
ed another man fishing last Sunday and

there shall be no hunting or fishing on
the first day of the week. The last ses
sion of the legislature repealed the por
tion of the law regarding the catching
of fish and it is a matter of doubt what
is the intent of the act with regard to
Sunday fishing.—Warren Mirror.

Suicide of Ed. Colbert.
Edward D. Colbert, aged 46 years,
who has lately been clerking for
Kaufmann's in Pittsburg, fired a bullet
into his head last Saturday night, and
death was almost instantaneous. He
went to his boarding house and after
talking for a few moments with some
of his friends wen f , to his room. In a
few moments a pistol shot was heard,
and on breaking in the door the other
inmates of the house found him sitting
in a chair dead. He had sat down in
front of a mirror, and after carefully
adjusting the pistol to his head, had
fired. His body was removed to the
morgue, and brought to Butler next
day. He was a son of Wm R. Colbert,
and was in business in Butler for
several years as a partner in the firm of
Colbert & Dale, and afterwards by him
self.

natured man and his many friends here

A friend of his told him that he couldn't
do it again, that way.

The great surprise iu the Presbvterian
Synod at Pittsburg, last Saturday, was
the election of Rev. Benjamin Franklin
Gemmill of Cresson over Rev. Jesse
Cotton of Coraopolis as permanent clerk
by a vote of 2 to 1. The Pittsburg Pres
bytery had held the office for 20 years,
and had passed a unanimous resolution
asking the Synod to elect Mr. Cotton as
successor to the late Dr. Beacom. The
Pittsburg commissioners were absolute
ly confident of the election of their can
didate until they landed Dr. McEwan
in the Moderator's chair, when there
were some mutterings from Eastern
commissioners about "Pittsburg want
ing the earth," and reaction set in.
