Only a part of those who have been tried have been sentenced, and those wero only those whose cases had certain extenuating civcumstances that en- titled them to an immediate settlement. In nearly every case of this kind Judge \Woolson imposed thé minimum fine of §100 and thirty days imprisonment, ana_the consequence 1s that thoso who can'not boast any extenuat- ing circumstances are woudering what tho world will look like to them when they come up for sentence.

The most that could be done was to prevent their being communicated to the ad- Jjoining buildings. There is something of a mystery connceted with the origin of the fire. Mr. Lower thinks it was caused by tho passing of a train, which jarred a lamp from the box upon which it had been set before the store was closed at night. This is ro- regarded by many as somewhat improbable, but there i3 no theory any more probable. The loss was covered by iusurance, e Had an Exciting Time.

What a Double General Railway Man- ager Must Decide, s agood “'scrap” on among the rail- ways over a shrewd gamo practiced by tho Alton, Sunday night last, says the Kansas City Journal. The fun 1s between the Union Pacific and the Missour: Pacific, two lines operated under the same management, one of which is a direct competitor with the Alton sofaras St. Louis busiess is concerncd. Ior the past throe years the most cordial re- lations as to the interchange of traflic have existed between the Union Pacific and Alton, ahd it is this fact that galls the Missouri Pacific, coupled as it is with the trick por- formed. On Sunday nightthe Union Pacific train due here early in the evening in time for all east- ern connections was delayed until nearly mid- night. When the train did arrive it brought in between twenty-five and thirty passengers ench for the Alton and Missouri Pacific. Al chance for the passengers continuing the tep seemed gono with the vegular trains that had pulled out some three hours before. This is whero the Alton people scored a hit. They came to the frout and offered to run a fast special to St. Louis provided the Union Pacific would turn over all the vassengors, in- cluding those billed to travel over the Mis- souri Pacific. This scemed like a good thing and the offer was accepted 80 quickly that it hustled the Alton to get ready on time. The special appeared, however, and with other be- lated people pulled out with a nice trainload, leaving the Missour: Pacific bolding the snipo bag. 15 the moraing when the agents of the Mis- souri Pacific discovered the deal they were exceeding wroth and read the riot act up and down the Union aveuuo row. 1t was too lato 10 correct tho difficulty, as tho Alton had the monoy and tho Missouri Pacific had a cause of complaint, Thoe local ofticials at once laid an appeal before their general manager. This ofticial happens to be S. H. H. Clark, who is at present greatly ombarassed by the fact that he holds a simi'ar position on the Union Pacific. He is called upon to decide which of uis systems he thinks is in_the wrong. General Manager Clark, of the Missouri Pa- cific, will request himselt as manager-in- chief and grand arbiter of the Union Pacific w pleaso explain. tlo will thereupon examine the papers in the case on behalf of the Union Pacific and inforn himself, as general manager and vice presi- dent of the Missouri Pacific, that he simply carried out his contract with his passengors 10 take them to their destinations at the ear- liest practicable moment. The opportunity offeriug quite to his surprise, ne acceted o general manager of the Union Pacific “This is the first occasion wherein the dou- ble-header general manager has made o head oncollision, and tho result of the delibera- tions of Mr. Clark with Mr. Clark are await- ed with great interest. Meanwhile the local agents of the Missouri Pacific arc hot and their brethren of the Union Pacific are cool, while the Alton pockets the proceeds aud says nothing.

Angry Depositors Demand Their Money and Threaten Trouble, CLEARFIELD, PA., IN GREAT EXCITEMENT. Pennsylvania Disturbed by the Dis- cordant Sounds Accompanying the Crash of Breaking Banks—Spe ulation in Oil the Cause, Creanriern, Pa, Oct. 1.—The excitoment here concerning the First Al bank failuro was intensified last night when the condition of things at Houtzdale was learned. The Houtzdalo bank is a private concer which was bought by Mr. Dill last spring. When Dill took charge he placed John B. McGrath, a justice of the peace in whom the wholo community had the utmost confidence, in chargo as cashier. This at once stimulated business, and on the first day over §,000 was received in deposits, mostly coming from voor miners. At this time tho deposit did not reach 20,000, but through McGrath's well known integrity aud popularity they erew until yesterday mo ing, they reached " §00,00. Upon opening of the bank yvesterday. McGrath had occasion to telephone the First National bavk concerning a check and wus astounded to learn that it had closed. Heat onco closed his bank, but had already reccived several deposits. Tho word spread rapidly, and be- fore long several hundred depositors were on the streets. The ignorant Huus aad Stays, of whom there aro many who have deposits ranging from $200 to £2,000 grew frantic when they learned that their money was in danger. The larger depositors at once sought Cashier McGrath and he informed them that although the deposits reached $200,000 less than 0,000 paper and currency was in the bank when it closed. He said that Presidont Dill had removed a great amount of the monoy, giuing as his reason that the Houtz- dale vanlt was vot secure and that he would put it in the Clearfield vault. A delegation of Houtzdale depositors arrived here last night and saw Dill, but ho gave no satisfac- tion except to say ' that if they would stand vy him they wouid come out aliright.

All the railroads brought in special trains which, like the reulars, were packed.

A local ofticial is quoted as saying the business of these excursions has proved the most suc- cessful of the road’s history.

We have known you familiarly over since you entered upon manhood: we Have known YOUr Work, your energy. your enterprise and your courige, and knowing your hard work 1 constant effort, it has often been a won- der to us that mind and body could stand so steady and severe a strain. 1t was thereforo a feeling of relief and pleasure to all of us when we heard that you intended taking some rest_and leisure during the summer. and meant to cross the ocean and visit tho places of your youth, for to yuu, us to all of us, r s the schoolboy's spot We ne'er forget tho tliere wo are forzot We huve followed you in your wanacrings; wo have been greatly interested in- what you told us, and muny of us hope and believe that the experience aid fnformation galned niay some day lead us into a nutional system of telographing ‘which will be more In keeping with the wants of our people and the destiny of our natfon.

Wo did not fignt for ourselves alone, but for all those who should come aftor us, During the war wo wero constantly stimulated by the thought of transmitting unimpnired to pos. terity the glorious heritage won for us through so much valor and suffering by our revolutionary forefathers, We looked for: ward to coming generations regarding us as wo regarded those who had fought, bled and died for us. The Sons of Veterans is a reali zation in our own lifetime of this hope. The orderis composed of young men thoroughly in sympathy with the ideas of those who shed the rebellion—impressed with the rifices they made to win tho glorious tri umph—eager to honor those who did n_patri- ot's duty in the ereat struggle, and fully de- termined that all that was gained by such an outpouring of blood shall be preserved in its fulluess.

Says a writer in tho New York Mercury Didleversecoa woman in the army—n woman in the uniform of asoldier and march- ing in the ranks? Yes, once, but I knew her sox only after herlife had goae out on a bat- tle field. It wwas Sunday, May 3, 1863, and was that of Chancellorsville. Stonewall Jackson hiad suatterod the federal right the evening before and received his own death wound; Stuart, with the whole left wing of the confederato army, had breastod tho di- visions of Berry, Krench, Williams and Whipple, and his path was now blocked by Sickies’ corps. At S o'clock in the morning hundreds of the men in line were out, of am- munition aud they got a fresh supply only by robbing the cartridgo boxes of their own o, For ons long hour we held that front of forest and thicket and field aguinst every ef- fort Stuart could make, and when the lines broke back it was becauso our bayonets could not stand against the terriblo musk- etry fire pouring in upon us. It was during that nour, and while we wero robving tho dead and wounded of means to hold tho line, that I came upon two dend soldiers in o bit of glade who haa been killed by a shell. Ono lay on the broad of his back with a ghastly wound in his side, the qther right across his t with his left arm "and shoulder torn “'here was an odor of burning cloth as we stood over the bodies and, not know- ing whether the poor fellows were dead or wounded, we rolled_the first_one off and found his jacket on fire over his chest. The shirt boneath was burning, also, and 1t was in stripping the garments off that we made the discovery. It was a young woman about 20 years of uge, her hair cnt short and her face pnd hands brown with tan. O waking our report, the body was or- dered carried off to tho rear, but before this could be done our whole line had been pressed back and none of us ever saw it agnin. Kegiments, companies and squads were 50 mixod up on that field that we could not tell to what command sho bolonged. The dead wan lying besido her was a ser- zeant and they were falling back in compauy when struck down. Lovers, perhaps, out no one will ever know. They were simply two of the thousands of dead left lying where they feil for the victorious confoderates to when Hooker had escaped across the with the living. R IR AT To Renssalear's Herocs.
