Burglary in Wrightsyille.

On Thursday evening of last week a
burglary was attempted in the store and
warehouse of McConkey & Cook, at
Wrightsville, which was shortly after
wards discovered by Mr.. Welsheafer, a
citizen of that place. The door being
open, and having reason to believe that
the robbers had been interrupted in their
burglarous designs, and had conceal
ed themselves in the building, general
search was instituted and two men were
finally captured above the grain bin in
the ware house. Their persons were
about to be searched when one of them
escaped, and then demanded the release
of the other, and fired several shots with
a revolver slightly wounding young
man named James Heppenstall in the
neck. Another grazed the person of W.
A. Conner, tearing his coat on the back.
In passing along the street one of the
burglars afterwards fred another time at
Welsheafer, who was ON his way to the
residence of the. proprietors to give the
alarm. The robbers were closelypursued
by Mr.. Kauffelt, but both were success
full in making their escape. A telegram
was Immediately sent to the authorities
at York and Constable Powell, accompan-
led by Walter Ruby started in the direc-
tion of Wrightsville in pursuit. About 4
o'clock Friday morning they met strange
man at the railroad crossing four miles
and a half from York, who stated that he
was on his way to Port Deposit. He was
informed by the officers that he had lost
his way, and was invited to take a seat
with them in the buggy. He was brought
to the Office of John A. Metzel, Esq,
Justice of the peace, who committed him
to Jail. During his examination he gave
his name as William Devlin of Boston,
and said he was twenty three years old.
While conveying him to Jail, the pris-
oner made desperate attempt to escape
when he was fired upon by Ruby, wound
ing him on his wrist, but was subsequent
ly secured by officer Powell. The pris-
oner has been identified as the same per-
son who visited the store of .McConkey &
Cook early on Thursday evening buying
tobacco, and who fired the revolver at
Wrightsville, in making his escape

preston Of sorrow for one of its dead.
That one may be in Heaven rejoicing
with joy unspeakable, while relatives on
earth are moving about in heavy and
sombre garments, making their lives as
gloomy as they can. There is no fitness
in the thing. 1t is often mere mockery
of sorrow" 1t also objects to the prac-

claim to be the murderer of Mr.. Nathan
In Boston another person has presented
himselfto the police, charging himself
with this crime. After being locked up
awhile, he repented, and said it was a
mistake, and his reason for saying so was
that he thought he would get sent on to
New York free of expense, and so get
nearer his home, which was in the vi
cinity of Pottsville.

A Singular Affair.

Conductor Mckinney, of the "night
owl," meets with many queer customers.
1t is the last through train to Boston,
and the fact of its leaving New York at
o'clock in the evening, makes it IA
vorite class of the travelling public whose
business fourishes more readily in the
dark. One night near the close of last
week, while taking up tickets, we'll
dressed gentleman passed up a bill which,
at first glance, the conductor thought to
be 500 greenback. He looked at the
passenger an instant, and with the remark
al will attend to your case directly"
placed it in his pocket, intending to make
the change after passing through the
train. Upon second examination, con-
ductor Mckinney discoveredit to be a gen
uine 81 900 treasury note He returned
and notified the passenger that he was
unable to change the bill. "Whatbill ?"
Why, the 81 900 note you gave me-"
" l never gave you any bill gave you
ticket" The conductor was surprised,
and said if that was so, the stranger
should have check. The latter replied,
" You gave me no check, but l handed
you my ticket" The conductor remarked
that he was not in the habit of doing that
way, but thought it possible he had neg
lected to return check; especially
when well-dress third party spoke up
and said, Certainly that man gave you
ticket I saw him purchase it at the
New York Office when 1 bought mine"
The conductor thought it all very strange,
and the next day consulted Mr.. Burwell,
President of the Hartford and New
London road. The following is the only
theory that can be arrived at: The stran-
ger was no doubt connected with some
extensive robbery. When the bill was
presented, the conductor scrutinized the
man closely with view to identify him
when he should return with the change.
At this close scrutiny the passenger be-
came alarmed, and hastily adopted this
course to allay suspicion. Firmly be-
lieving himself suspected he could think
of no more effectual method of proving
himself an honest man, and took this
novel and rather expensive course to do
this. The witness to the purchase and
delivery Of the ticket was confederate
who came to the rescue at an opportune
moment Whether any other course
would have been taken, had there been
any chance to escape, is of course mys-
terry. Considering that the stranger was
needlessly alarmed, the whole affair pre-
sents a combination Of circumstances rare
ly witnessed even in the varying scenes
of a railway train. In the meantime,
Conductor Mckinney is one thousand
dollars in.-NeO Haven Register.

got away, with two men in charge, on the
down grade of eighty feet to the mile
With each succeeding mile, the speed of
the flying car became more terrific, and
as it passed the tank, five miles west of
the starting point, the velocity was more
than a hundred miles an hour. Fortu-
uately an up grade arrested the car about
six miles west Of Rolla, and the car was
switched off at York just in time to pre-
vent crash with the freight train east,
which, being behind time, had not passed
that point.

Charges of bargain and sale are freely

spondents in the various political papers,

the nomination and election of per-
son to this responsible position. 1t is
time that change was made in the
manner of filing this Office. Let the
Treasurer be elected by the people, and

berry, would cease to disgrace the State.

tB Circumstances connected with the
death of John Cassabans, of Mannunuckin,
N. j., supposed to have committed suicide
lead to the belief that he was murdered.
The body has been exhumed, and an inves-
tigation reveals the fact that the deceased
had been first robbed and shot, and the
dead body placed on the railroad track.

had passed over it. Active search has
commenced for the murderer.
9B- Colonel Fambrought, of Griffin, Geor-

he missed his pocket-book, containing some
two thousand dollars. Drawing a pistol,

present had stolen it, and said he would
shoot the first man who attempted to leave
the room before he had been searched. It
was found in the pocket of young man,
together with two other stolen pocket
books
G55 Samuel J. Garrabrand, prominent
member of the Methodist Church of East

beating and inhumanly treating his daugh-
ter Emma, young lady of sixteen. He
has been in the habit of beating her with a
gaiter while in bed. The father was insti-
gated to commit the assaults by step
mother.
UB- The Odd-fellows of Matteawan, New
York, were sorely exercised, q few days
ago, by the receipt of letter from promi-
nent brother who was supposed to have
died previously, and for whom they had
gone to the trouble of hanging their lodge
room with emblems of mourning, and en-
crossing elaborate resolutions of respect,
&c.
c5g- A fellow paid sixteen dollars for a
dish of oysters in Titusville the other day.
He got outside the bivalves, and then claim

G5g- A fund of e1, 900, "lawful money!"
bequeathed in 1903, by Mrs. Sarah Hale, of
South Coventry, o., for the perpetual MAIN
tenance of q religious library for the first
parish of Coventry, now amounts to over

AFFAIRS in Europe look decidedly
squally just at present, oFing to the an
nouncement by Russia that she will no
longer respect the treaty of 1856, which
she was compelled to sign at the dictation
of France and England after the Crimean
War. If she insist upon disregarding
the treaty, England, Austria, Italy and
Turkey, will be almost certain to form
coalition against Russia. The excitement
over the course taken by that Govern
ment is very great, and although Rus
sia insists upon it that her intentions
are peaceful, yet if she persists in dsre-
garding that treaty, war between those
powers seems almost Unavoidable. It is
possible, however, that Congress of
those interested, may be convened which
will be enabled to modify and SO arrange
existing treaties as to avoid an appeal to
arms.
Reports from France seem more fa-
vorable for that nation. The accounts of
successes having been obtained by their
armies, in the vicinity of Orleans are YER
fled, and the present position of the COM
batants indicate that some severe battles
will soon be fought.
