AT KESITER'S li 1111 IT, N unannounced and tin. cormonious midnight visitor almost met his death at a houso on West Centre street and it was not tho fault of tho involuntary host that tho visitor is not in an ice box to-day for tho shot which was given as a welcomo was within exceedingly cloao rango of a fatal point. Tho houso at which tho affair occurred is occupied by Morris Wurin, tho butoher. Mr. Wurm and his family rotirod shortly after nino o'ciock last night, after sccurly fasten ing all tho doors and windows. At about twenty minutes before tho midnight hour, when Mr. Wurm was droamlng that ho had just closed an excellent bargain with tho weather clerk, by which the latter was to withdraw tho cold snap and make to-day moro pleasant for the butchers who would bo obliged to drivo about on wagons, a noise was heard at ono of tho rear doors of tho house. Tho butcher's dream vanished and tho noiso caused him to partly raiso himself in tho bed and listen. After a few moments' hositation Wurm jumped from his bed and taking a lamp in ono hand ami a revolver in tho other he li-ft tho bedroom remarking to his wifo that ho would go and seo who was tryiug to get Into tho house. As Mr. Wurm nolsolossly desoonded to tho first floor ho could hoar tho fumbling at tho kitchen door. Just as the butcher entered the dining room the door loading from tho kitchen oponod and the form of a man ap peared. Like a flash Wurm leveled his ro- volver and ilrcd. Only ono shot wai dis charged, but it was a good ono and staggered tho intruder, who foil backwards into a chair with a groan. Mr. Wurm then rnshod forward and pinioned the intruder to tho chair, but realized that tho fellow was too badly in jured to give tronblo and Mr. Wurm's father was left to guard him while tho son went out to look for an officer. Tho injured man certainly lonkod liko a case for an undertaker at first glance. The blood flowed in a stream over the fellows' garments from wounds in the right cheek and right side of tho head and was partly stunned, Tho ball from Mr. Wurm's revolver, a 32 short calibre, had entered just below tho cheek bono siud passed out about an incii from the opening of tho right ear. Dr. Sxlupas attended the man and upon ex amination said tho wound was not a danger' ous one, but had barely missed the fatal spots. The intruder was confined iu the lockup for the night. Talg morning ho was taken before Justice Williams, charged with wil fully and magliulously breaking into Mr. Wurm's houso with intent to rob. IIo gave his name as Baltro Strolus. IIo is a stockily built young follow about 23 years of ago, comfortably and respectfully dressed, and in his vest pockot carried a silver watch with a brass chain attached. IIo was accompanied by two rospoctablo looking Lithuanians. Tho thrco reside iu town. Strolus presented a sorrowful spectacle. His head and face wore wrapped iu ban dagos supplied by Dr. Szlupas, the front of his coat, vest and trousers were covered with clotted blood, and the eye which peeped over tho bandages on tho sido of the face, which the bullet entered, was bloodshot and other wise discolored. Whon told of the chargo against him Strolus'pleaded not guilty. lie said that ho was drunk last night and did not remember what ho had dono. The breakiug into the house was a mistake and be would not have done it had he been sober. Dr. Salupas was present. lie said the wound in itself was not dangerous, but when he visited Strolus this morning he found the man had torn off the bandages and it would require a few days to determine whether the removal of tho bandages had permitted oold to set in the wound. In suoh a oase Inflamma tion would follow and the oase would be serious. Strolus tore off the bandages while iu his cell and tho act is taken as confirma tion of his story that he was drunk. After the hearing Mr. Wurm said that ho that felt the intruder had been sufficiently punished and as atteudanoes at court require oxpenie and loss of tlmo ho was willing to settle, providing Strolus would pay all cost and damages for the breaking of the door, soiling of carpets, etc. It was agreed that Strolus would go to PotUville and enter suoh bail m the District Attorney might re quire and then, if that official should con sent, the ease would le settled. What Ho Scosnml HiMirH During His Tra t els About Tiih n. The officials of the Lehigh Valley road lmvo posted "No Admittance" signs on all the doors of the telegraph offices along their road. The company urges their operators to eject any one who has no business in tho office It is said that tho order was issued principally to prevont newspaper roportors from gaining any information along the line. A physician has it that bicycling is vory injurious, saying that on his machlno tho spine of tho rider is bent to anarch, the chest bone affected by tho pressure impairing circulation and interfering with tho operation of tho lungs. No form of spurt or exorclso can bo invonted but sonio doctor denounces it, just as when a change or improvement of any sort in tho methods of publio affairs is mado some lawyer denounces it as illegal or unconstitutional. There ara men who spend long hours day after day through a long life bent over a desk and suffer none of tho ills with which the bicycler is said to be threat ened. Between doctors and lawyers it is a marvel how civiltied mankind gets through tho world with any comfort at all. It may bo news to somo of tho sports of town to henr that "Jimmy" MoIIale, who met and defeated Wiltlam Gibson, of this place, in a three-round "scrap" at Ashland last winter, was arrested at Philadelphia tills week for participating in a prizo light with "Jim" Burge, tho iron man of Australia. A few days more and then Thanksgiving and turkey and crauborry. Thoro was a doalof worldly wisdom in associating re ligious celebrations with good oating, as Christmas, Now Yoar's, Eastor. The celebra tions might lie neloctod If thoy stood alono bnt there is no danger of that whon thoy aro associated with fiuo dinners. Tho sorvicos in tho churches Thanksgiving day aro sllmly nttendod, but everybody is present when the turkey and cranberry aro set out. Tho Puritans did not liko this sort of thing and regarded Christmas as a little better than a hoathen festival. That is ono reason why Puritanism was doomed from its birth. Oc casionally as Chrismas draws nigh one hoars of discussions in tho mootings of certain preachers concerning the propriety of re cognizing it. 'But tho discussions aro all In vain. Whatever tho preachers say, tho people havo their Christmas jollification. And their Thanksgiving foast too. The Puritans tried to maintain Thanksgiving as a fast, but it vi as no go. The preachers could fast all they wanted to, but tho parishioners would not. V Now-a-days when a man wants to go to Shamokin, or any point east on the main line of the Lehigh Valley railroad, ho has a regular catch as catch time with his own judgment. He swaggers into the depot, scans the time table, asks the ticket agent a dozeu questions about the strike and tho run' nlng of the 2:23 p. m. train, looks the agent straight in the oye to seo if ho answers the truth, and finally slaps down his money and says, "Give me a ticket. I'll try it, aud if I don't get through to Joyville I'll sue the company for damages." After receiving Ills ticket he again struts about the waiting room, walks back to the ticket window, asks what time tho train will leave half a dozen times, pulU off his hat and mops his forehead, curses the strikers aud finally walks out to the depot platform iu time to meet a friend ho had left up town two hours beforo and who had walked leisurely to tho dopot to oatch the i: 10 train for Joyville. After a wait of about an hour and a half both men boarded their train. There is no rapid transit in these days. Obi:.

Tho remains were taken from the residence of her parents in Delano to Tamanna, whero interment was mado. Miss Biiley was tho attractive 18 year old daughter of J.

All tho passenger trains wero running regularly through this section to-day with tho exception of the mall train due here from Now York at 2:88 this afternoon. This train has been lato every day since tho strike and had not arrived up to tho time tho Ukkald went to press. A man who has had cmito an activo part in connection with tho strlko was in town to day and admitted that tho mon who went out ou tho Mahauoy branch are ovidently weakening and several of them havo re turned to work during the past twenty-four hours, but ho added that their weakening had no true bearing on the niattor. They cannot break tho tlo up ou tho main lino and the men ou tho latter line are as deter mined to day as thoy wero last Sunday. For tho first time in a week there was con siderable activity among tho freight crews ou the Mahanoy division tO'day. At 8:30 this morning a train of five local freight c passed west and was followed at 0:15 by a train of thirteen local freight oars. A oar of freight mado ready iu tho Jersey City yards last Saturday arrived in town this morning, which is an indication that tho railroad company Ins succeeded in getting somo freight moving ou the main line.

Recently we called attention to the fact that tho later years of a National Buildiug and Loan Association wero proportionately much more profitable than the early ones, Practical exporieuce of thirty months' dura tion has demonstrated the correctness of this position, as our profits to day are proportion ately far in excess of what they were iu the oar'y months. We also stated that stockholders would vory materially study their own interests by re' malning in tho organization long enough to enable it to in ko their investment profitable to them. We are now able to aunouuee that after thirty-six monthly payments havo been made, stockholders desiring to withdraw will roceivo a rate of Viper emt.per annum on tho amount paid into the Loan Fund. Whilst wo believe it would bo niuoh better for tho stockholders to remain in until tho maturity of their stock, yet we reoognize the fiict that there will always be some with drawal, and this being the case, it is our pur. pose from time to time to deal as equitably and fairly with those withdrawing members as it is possible, and to adopt as liberal a with drawal feature as is consistent with absolute safety to those who remain.
