JUVEfMiE
BURGLARS.
Youthful, But Had the Nerve to Tackle
a Safe.
A CHISEL AND BUTTONER USED.
The Safe Was ot the Old fashioned Kind,
But It Gave the Cold Shoulder
to the Primitive Methods
That Wore Adopted.
Two juvenilo burglars were taken Into
custody early yesterday niornliiR while In
tho act of robbing tho Btoro of 11. Stocker, on
South Malu street. They wero liichard
Burns, of (Hover's Hill, and Georgo doodle
wlcz, of West Coal street. Tho former is
about 17 years old and the latter about two
years younger. Both have polico records
notwithstanding their youth.
Between one and two o'clock yesterday
morning Policemen Matz and Ilutler dis
covered tho younit "Knights of tho jimmy"
at work on the padlock fastening tho cellar
doors in front of Stockcr's store The ollicors
kept in hiding to await developments. Hums
and Goodlewlrz finally got the doors open
and dosceuded into tho cellar. Soon after a
caudle light was observed moving about the
Btoro.
Meanwhile Chief of Polico Murphy, Police,
men Foyle and Uraltls and Watchman
O'llara joined tho two officers who had been
watching. Guards were placed in front of
tho store, and also in Pear alley, at the ro.tr.
The polico then aroused Mr. Stocker aud his
wife. Tho former put his head out of one
of the second story front windows and told
tho police to go down the cellar. Just then
Burns shouted from the cellar, "You don't
need to, we'll come up," and they did. The
pair of youthful cracksmen wero placed in
tho lockup.
During the titno Intervening tho entry to
tho cellar and tho arrest Burns and Good
lowicz bad been busy. An old fashioned safe
rests under a desk near tho front window of
the store, the outdoor of which had been left
open by Mr. Stocker when he retired Satur
day night. The Inner door opens with a key
which the thioves could not find, so they at
tempted to fores tbo door with the aid cf a
large chisel aud a shoo buttoner found In the
store, but did not succeed. They secured
about five dollars in silver from the store till.
About two dollars of this was takon from the
person of one of tho prisoners, who say they
threw the rest behind a barrel in tho cellar.
It has not been found. A woolen scarf and a
pair of gloves taken from the storo wero
found in tho cellar with other small articles
of booty. On tho door of the sitting room
adjoining the rear of tho store were fouuda
new pair of rubbers and a scale weight, in
dicating that one of the youthful marauders
had stood guard and ready to knock down
any one who might have descended tho stair
way from the floor ahovo whilo tho opera
tions wero going on in the storo.
Burns and Goodlewlcz were taken before
Justice Toomoy yesterdav afternoon aud
committed without hail. Tboy wero takcu

Their Rentier Are
Few,
From the Ashland News
Wo received to-day a copy of a Shenandoah
paper that appears to have quite a large cir
culation anion;: the patent medicine pcoplo,
as it has few readers, and which contained a
marked editorial on the freak newspapers.
Wo suppose its proprietors want a little free
advertising, but as wo invariably ask pay in
advance from people of their standing, wo
must refuse to placo its namo in our columns
though wo may refer tb its contents. It is too
had thatall tho editors of this county, with the
exception of tho Shenandoah pair,
lack tho orthographic accuracy of
the Cass township school of journalism,
tho syntactical correctness of a First
ward 'Squire, or tho depth of thought
necessary in tho only man of this region who
understands Hen. Hur. The News confesses
that it lacks all these advantages of training,
and that therefore an occasional mistake of a
"freak" nature may be found in its columns,
but doesn't a condemnation of bad spoiling
como with worse grace from an editor who
needs but turn to the first lino on his editorial
page to find a horrible exhibition of the fault
that ho condemns in others?
Potatoes Are Cheaper.
Tho farmers feel like kicking themselves
for not selling their potatoes some weeks ago
when they wero worth from 80 to 00 cents a
bushel. They hoped that potatoes would ad
vance with the coming of cold weather and
so held ou to them. But owing to tho heavy
shipments from tho West, potatoes dropped
to 55 and 00 cents with no prospects of any
very substantial advanco, and now the
farmers who held their crops are mourning.
The Hard Coal Doom.
Tho Commercial Club, of Wilkesbarrc,
whoso members are most active in tho move
ment for opening a more goneal market for
anthracite coal, havo refused to subscribe
their share toward the fund needed by tb
Anthracite Business Men's Association for
bringing to tho attention of tbo Interstate
Commerce Commission tbo discrimination
prartlcod by coal carrying roads with respect
to tbo anthracite producers. The reason for
this refusal Is that they do not want to go
ahead until they see their way clear. If
Wllkesbarre s business men fail to subscribe
they will givo the movement a black eye.

IK SENATE
AIM HOUSE!
The Nicaragua Canal Bill In the Upper
House of Congress.
PROGRAM FOR THE PRESENT WEEK.
Another Subject on the Calendar Is the
Antl-Scalplng Bill, Which Will Come Up
at an Early Day-Other Matters
Under Consideration.
Washington, Dec. 12. The course of
proceedings In the senate this week will
depend upon tho disposition that Is
made of the Nicaragua rnnal hill. It
is Senator Morgan's Intention to call
up this measure today, and he has ex
pressed thp hope that he will secure
action before today's adjournment. Few
of his most sanguine co-workers agree
witn mm in this opinion, and the best
Indication Is that unless an agreement
can be readied for postponement sev
eral days at least will be consumed In
Its consideration. The opponents of
the measure will meet Its supporters
with a proposition to defer consider
ation until after tho Christmas holi
days, and they will give as their reason
for this request the fact that the re
port of the government commission ap
pointed to Investigate the feasibility
ot the canal has not yet been made,
urging the Importance of receiving th
Information which the commission will
he able to furnish before acting upon
so Important a question. If the bill Is
taken up In earnest It will consume the
greater portion ot the senate's time un
til finally disposed of.
Another subject on the calendar Is
the antl-scalplng bill, which Senator
Cullom has Informed the senate he will
seek to get up at an early day, but he
is not likely to succeed thus early In
the session.
Beyond tho first three days there
Is no program mapped out for the
house this week. Today is being de
voted, under the rules, to the consider
atlon of business relating to the Dis
trict or Columbia, and tomorrow the
District of Columbia appropriation bill
will be taken up. This Is In pursuance
of the determination of the leaders to
gvp tho appropriation hills the right of
way whenever one It ready. It is pos
sible thnt Chairman Hull, of the mili
tary appropriations, will be able to
bring in the army reorganization bill
as soon ns the district appropriation
bills are out of the way, as he is par
ticularly solicitous that It should pass
the house before the holidays. The
Democrats are divided on the question
of Increasing the regular army, but
how far the opposition will go In an
tagonizing the measure It Is lmpoa
slble to forecast.
