Indication, of activity
on tho part -of .the enemies of tho United

was J. M. Dye, of Philadelphia. He is a tall,
stout man of llorid complexion and makes n
conspicuous figure on tho street In his O. A.
li. suit and cow boy hat.
Mr. Dyo makes a business of keeping track
of counterfeit bills and pays periodical visits
to the batiks and largo business places in tho
various parts of this stato to soo if they havo
any bogus bills on hand and to give infor
mation on the latest issues by wiloy counter
feiters. A number of business men of town circled
about tho visitor at ouo of tho hotels to-day
and listened to his thrilling tales of tho pur
suit and capture of counterfeiters and gazed
with surpriso at bogus bills and photographs
he prodused.
Mr. Dye gave no intimation of what uew
counterfeits wcro on the market, but it was
said by olio gentleman who was in consulta
tion with him, that soma crooked ten-dollar
bills may bo expected any day.

ORE'S OBSERVATIONS.
What Ho Sees anil Hears During Ilia
Travels.
Tho muddy condition of the streets has
resurrected a number of puns and ono can
hardly cross any of them without having one
of tho chestnuts hurled at him.
Gcorgo Schmlpf, of I'ottsville, was in town
yesterday and in company with Deputy
Coroner Brcnnan went to Delano to inspect
tho boiler of tho cngino that exploded near
tho red bridge last week and killed Engineer
Barry. Tho Inquest is dolayed by reason of
Conductor Eroh being confined to his bed.
His hip was dislocated in tho accident and ho
will not bo able to go about for somo time.
There aro somo pcoplo in town who think
tho School Iloatd has not acted wisely in
deciding to have no exhibit in tho public
school department of tho World's Fair. They
claim that an exhibit from this section would
ho interesting from tho mere fact that it
would show what tho children of tho an
thracito flaldfl of l'l-nnsvlvmila nrn dnlni' In
tho public schools. This opinion is shared by
many and it is not an insignificant ono. Our
schools could send exhibits that would com
pare very favorably with somo work douo in
tho schools of larger places.
One of tho end men at tho thoatro last
night made our muddy streets the butt of a
joko and put in a good word for street paving.
His remarks provoked moro applause than
laughtor and tho miuttrol evidently realized
that ho hud struck a popular chord.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF A
YOUNG COUPLE.
ATTAGKED ON A LONELY ROAD
Tho Younp; Lady'B Escort Was
Badly Bruised Timoly Arrival
of Two Minors, but tho
Assailant Escapos.
YOUNG lady named
Morris, residing at llos
ton Run, was a victim
of an atrocious assault
while on her way homo
from this town on Wed
ncsday night. Miss
Morris camo hero in tho
afternoon accompanied by
a male acquaint-
anco and visited Ferguson's theatre. There
was no means by which tho couple could re
turn to their homes by rail and thoy con
cluded to walk. Tho route taken was down
South Main street aud out tho Pennsylvania
railroad and along a path on tho hill south of
tho Shenandoah City colliery strlpplngs. Tho
road is a very lonesome one, but as tho couplo
wcro well acquainted with it they had no
fears.
MlssMorrisand horoscort wcro walking at
a pretty lively paeo and had well ascended
the path that leads over tho hill when a man
stepped from behind a stump they had just
passed and exclaimed, "Hold on a minute !'
Tho girl became frightened and hurried on,
and her escort stopped to encounter tho
stranger and givo his charge a chanco to get
away. "What tirno is it?" tho stranger
asked as ho approached. .Tho young man
said ho had no watch. "Who is that fellow
with you ?" was the next question, and fear
Ing that some ono was approaching him from
behind the young lady's escort turned to
look. At tho same moment tho stranger
jumped forward and struck him with somo
uuknown instrument ho carried in his hand
Tho blow was intended for tho head, hut foil
short and struck tho young man with con
siderablc forco on tho left shoulder.
Realizing the stranger's intentions thu escort
grappled with him and the young lady who
had meanwhile retraced- her steps scrouraed
for help. Two Polish minora who were on
their way to town from work, heard the
screams aud run ovor the brow of tho hill,
but before they could givo any assistance tho
stranger broke away and ran down towards
the strippings.
Ho is described as being a stoutly built
fellow of about 35 years of age aud drossed
very much after tho fashion of a tramp.
Miss Morris and her ecort continued their
journoy without further molestation. Tho
latter had a pretty badly bruised shoulder
which was struck seveial times by tho stran
ger riming tho struggle
Tho friends of tho couplo say that tho
stranger's intentions no doubt wcro to

It is to be hoped tho next time tho police
corral those bad hoys they will send them
whero thoy will bo out of mischief. Wo
beliovo they aro guilty of all tho depredations
committed in towu lately.
Tho minstrel sticct parade yesterday drew
a largo crowd after it. Their music was
good.
Croup and scarlet fever aro still prevalent
to somo extent in town.
Dealers in sulphur diamonds havo done
good business so far this Reason with tho

vendors.
Almost every day wo hear of this or that
project about to be started, but few of them
appear to materialize.
On and after January lBt, 1893, tho feo for

Tho new Columbus postage stamps will bo

Wo lately read in a Western newspaper air
article about swapping wives. It is a good

It is said that iealous wives will put

homo. It takes an American woman to beat
