THEY BROKE OPEN A GAR iicl Wore Octtlng Away With n Kvg of Whiskey When an Olllcei- Appeared Tho Hooty Win Itcenptiircd hut tho IlohhrrH Ktciipcil. OLICEMAN Dougherty made a timely discov ery of a robbery last night anil ro-captured tho booty that was be ing carried 00, but uu fortuuately tho robbers succeeded iu making their cscapo and aro still at largo. Should they ho cptured tho charge upon which tlioy will bo tried will cam for them a long term of imprisonment. At about 11 o'clock last night Dougherty and Edward 0'Donnell, of tho First ward, saw two young men at tho corner of Lloyd street and Plum alley struggling along with a heavy object. When tho officer approached and called a halt tho young men dropped their burden and ran like deers northward through tho alloy. O'Donnell niado a spring for tho booty, while Dougherty gave chnso up tho alloy, but tho fugitives woro too swift for him and soon got out of sight. When tho officer returned ho examined tho burden that had been dropped and found it was a ten-gallon keg of whiskey that had been consigned to O'Don nell, tho man who was on tho scene. Further investigation showed that the keg had been taken from ono of tho freight cars standing at tho rear of tho Lehigh Valley depot. Tho seal of tho car had been broken by tho robbers. O'Donnell says tho whiskey was consigned to him as agent, but as tho tag was torn from tho keg ho is unable to toll to whom it Bhould bo dolivered. Tho two robbers aro not known, and owing to their quick escape a description cannot ho given of them.

Tho celebration will begin at 0 p. m. September 10th and coutinuo until C p. m. on tbo llth or 12th. Tho liberal Jews celebrate one day and the orthodox two. Two days aro observed because In tho olden tlmo tho month commenced whon tho new moon was seen, and betauso of clouds it was fro quently difficult to fix tho timo of its appear- anco on a particular day. The day is not ono of fasting, but i3 obsorved by religious ser vices. A now account is opened with hcavcu and prayers for forgiveness aro a chief feature. of tho service. Tho new year will bo known as 5051 in tho Jowish calendar. Tho observ- anco of New Year Day is presented In the 29th chapter of Numbers, whero it is men' tioncd as tho first day of tho sovonth month On tho 13th of September occurs tho fast of Gcdalyah, and on tho 20th, tho day of atouo- meut a great fast, followed by tho Foast of tho Tahernaclos on tho 25th.

Whnl He Sees anil Hears During Ms Travels, Ono of our townsmen is in a dlloraa. Somo tlmo ago ho contracted a dobt with an out-of- town firm and ho paid it, procuring a re ceipted bill. Somo tlmo after ho rccolvod a demand for tho amount and supposing tho firm to bo reputable and trustworthy sont on tho receipted bill to show that tho bill had bocn cancelled. Since thon tho firm has placed tho claim in tho hands of a lawyer, and tho townsman hasn't got his receipts. An electrio railway conductor was sorely porploxed on tho Main street run last night. Ho was on a summer car and sovcral young men hoarded it at Centro street. When the conductor went to get tho faros tho young men ran to and fro between tho soats and along tho sido steps until tho car reached Coal streot, when theyjuuipcd offandleft tho conductor to ravo and swear, I seo that tho Ilazlcton Board of Health lias decided to erect a crematory for tho rur- poso of doing away with garbage It would not surprise mo if Shenandoah should havo a llko crematory In tho ncarfuturo. President Spalding suggested It at tho last meeting of tho Board of Health and the idea seemed to meet with tho favor of tho board. In looking over a tfazlelnn paper's report of tho clam bake held at Oneida yosterday I find a common error has been rcpoatcd In tbo list of guests. Mr. Browor, tho Chicago gen tleman who 13 Interested in tbo establishment of tho Columbian litewiug Company here, is registered in tho list as "W. Browory, Chi cago." Tho gentleman's name and that of his ocenpation got badly mixed sometimes. Tho Board of Health will hold its regular weekly meeting in tbo Council chamber to morrow evening, and it is expected to bo a very interesting ono. Tho proceedings of this body will bo as interesting to tho public us thosoof tho Borough Council, and in somo instances of much greater Importance. The reports of tho Health Officer will bo of particu' lar importance. Citizens will do well to watch them and keep posted on what is being dono and what can bo done if tho laws aro properly enforced. Tho ro-cugagement of Setloy as a member cf the Shenandoah base ball club will no doubt bo a surprise to mauy patrons of tho gamo, but they will bo pleased with It if tho player shows that matrimony has served to steady his hoad. Sotley is ccrtiinly among tho best all 'round players wo havo had hero this season, and when he behaves himself and does not become silly ho is an excellent pitcher. Ho says that as he is married now ho intends to settle down and play ball for tho money that is in it. If ho docs this ho will soon regain tho popularity ho won when ho first eamo hero from Danvillo. Setloy has always realized that ho was foolish. In fact, when ho was leaving tho haw ball grounds at Lako-ldo ho shouted, "Hcrogoosthe$10,000 player with a ten-cent head." Tho homo management always recognized his ability on tho diamond, but his erratic spurts moro than handicapped his ability and tho public turned on him. It is hoped, for his own Kike, that matrimony has put good senso into his head and that ho will play ball hereafter. Obe. USE DANA'H SABSAPARILLA, its "THE KIND THAT CORES."

T IS hard work for ro porters to scratch items of news from tho doings in tho town these days and tho man who strikes out with pencil and book to writo up tho placo nro tho poo plowhoknow it. There was almost nothing going on to-day. Tho most livoly sccuo found was at tho Dougherty building, corner of Centro and Jaidln streets, whero a largo forco of carpenters aro hammor ing and sawing with all possible speod to try and havo tho structure complete by tbo Kith of Scptomber, which is tho tlmo stated in tho contract, but It is not likely that tho work will bo accomplished by that timo. With tbo exception of tho now Wost street school house the D ugl orty build ing will bo tho most Imposing new structure in town. It Is a threo-ttory building with a fine frontage of seventy feet and a depth of thirty feet on Jardln street. Tho first lloor being partitioned into storerooms, tho second will bo usod for dwelling pur(oses, and tho third lloor will bo placed at the disposal of societies for meeting. Tho assembly room on this lloor will bo second to nono In tlio town and far suporior to many. It is largo and has amplo means for light and ventilation on three sides. Four anto-rooms aro connected with it in a very convenient manner and oach auto-room has a largo window. When showing a reporter through tho building to day Councilman Dougherty said many appli cations had bosu made for the lodge room but nono thus far havo been acted upon. Somo pcoplo have been urging him to uso the third tluor as a hall for bills and parties, but after maturo consideration ho concluded to loaso tho hall to some society for a term of years with the privilege of sub-letting to others, for private meetings. Tho corners of Main and Centro streot aro looked upon as tbo exchanges for all gossip and when anything goes on iu tbo town somo inkling can lo secured thoro. To-day tho oxchanges woro almost deserted. A small group on one corner discussed base ball and oich ono iu tho group had a different idea about tho way a base ball club should bo man aged. A. J. Shortall, of Pottsville. who is in tho field on tho Republican tlckot to defeat Jack Toole for Clerk of tho Courts, visited ono of the exchaugos for a few minutes and stopped loug enough to say that he thought ho had an oxcollont chance to win. Later in tho afternoon ho drovo up Main street on his way to the Riugtown Fair. Jack Toole preceded him by a few minutes, having mado but a brief stay hero. P. J. Mulholland and a large number of ourtowus men followed, so that by noon there were hut few people left upon tho streets. Ono ol tho most activo men on tho streets to-day was Michael Muldoon. Ho was run ning to and fro taking hasty leave of his numerous friends. To-night he starts for Washington to begin work in the position he recently received by government appointment in the Treasury department at Washington, D.C. A tour of tho justices' courts during tho day failed to raise tho spirits of the news gatherer. Justice Monaghan was not at his office. II o is iu Harrisburg urging the appointment of Constablo Jcro Toomey as Justice In tho First ward. Mauy hope he will succeed, as Jare is a pretty good fellow and has served as BijaK in the court of his watd so long that he la competent to try anything from a dog fight to a breach of promise. Justice Shoemaker sus pended eourt to-day to act as hone doctor. A fsrmei'j horse got crmnky on Mar ket street this morning and In trying to exe cute a skirt dance ttraddled the tongue of a hay wagon j the tongue broke and the end of it was jabbod into tho acrobatlo quadruped's fiank. Justico Shoemaker had considerable experience with horses at Buok Horn several years ago and he gavo the injured ani mal the benefit of it. When It comes to horses "Squire Bill" Is knee deep la it. At Justice Dengler's office nothing new could bo gloaned, There wero two men In the office and they were engaged in earnest couversatiou. One was the 'Squire, the other Bijah Tosh, and the subject was"Blll Seltzer." Justice Williams was called upon and found pasting steamship announcements on his bill boards. lie sajs people are too poor to get mixed up in law suits now. Justico Bailey was also idle, but was pulling an abundance of consolation out of a cigar. OsUC DANA'S 8AR8AFARILLA, m TH KIND THAT OPKJM." nr Cents up to J-2.00 nt yard ftir 2vJ Oilcloths.
