EB- The Altoona Tribune says The
store of Charles L. Palmer, at Irwin, was
entered by some person or persons on last
Friday night week, and several articles
abstracted therefrom. The burglars de-
vised a somewhat novel way to obtaining
an entrance. They bored auger holes all
around the lock on the front door, and
then lifted the entire lock out and walked
straight in and helped themselves. They
were very reasonable in their desires, be-
cause after helping themselves to pen
knives, sleeve buttons and tobacco, they
left.

Accident on the Cumberland Valley Rail


road.
The early passenger train eastward on
the Cumberland Valley railroad, due in
Harrisburg at 7:45, met with an accident at
Middlesex, a station between Mechanicsburg
and Carlisle, shortly after seven o'clock
Monday morning. The train, consisting
of baggage and two passenger cars,
drawn by the engine "Col. Lull," was
thrown from the track by misplaced
switch. The engine after leaving the
rail fell over on its side, the baggage car
was thrown on it's side, the passenger car
following it ran off the rails and the last
car had only the trucks of the rear end left
standing on the rail. The engineer and
fireman escaped with slight injuries by
jumping. No passenger or train hand was
injured. The passengers were transferred
to the cars of the up train from Harrisburg
and reached Harrisburg about ten a. m.
1t is supposed the switch was tampered
with, as nut had been removed and the
rod partly moved out of position. The last
train over the road was the stock express
east ON Saturday night, when the track
was call right" The engineer could not
see the mischief in time to prevent the ac-
cident, owing to the darkness that pre-
vailed when the train was passing that
point. Tho damage to the locomotive is
pretty extensive, but the cars suffered very
little.

TWeed's Little Book.

GA former resident of Port Jervis, who
saw William M. Tweed shortly after his
conviction, informs us that Mr.. Tweed sur
prised him by stating that he proposes to
publish book, of An photographed
character, as soon as he can secure time
enough to attend to it. Mr.. Tweed has
carefully kept diary of his life, and he
proposes, now that he occupies felon's
cell, to give the world some startling dis
closures. He proposes to tell the world
his manner of doing business, whom he
bought to serve his purposes, and what the
average price of Albany Legislators is.--
Probably no one man in the country has
had so varied an experience in this line as
Mr.. Tweed, and no man can make such
startling revelations.

CONVENTIONS to frame Constitutions
seem to be unfortunate in their attempts to
please Perry county, as on the question
of adopting the constitution of 1888 this
county gave majority of sO2 votes against
it. The whole majority in the whole State
was however quite small being only 1919
in favor of it's adoption.

COFFEE has again taken quite an ad-
vance in price. The present rise is no
doubt entirely speculative, and is mainly
due to the fact that the Secretary of the
Treasury desires to restore the duty on tea
and coffee. The hope OF the large holders
of the stock of coffee in this country is that
such tax will be laid and they are holding
present stock, hoping to realize that ad-
vance. AS the prospects of such a tariff
being laid are, already growing rather dim,
(the House of representatives seeming indis-
posed to impose any such tax on the people,
we expect to see decline in tho price of
that favorite beverage before long, to at
least the prices of last month. All that is
needed to force such decline, is for
country merchants to limit their orders to
the smallest possible amount needed for
immediate sales.

THE people of Oregon have preferred
such grave charges against General Grants
appointee for Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, that the Senate will have to investi-

Williams is well-known in Oregon, and his
record can readily be obtained. Should the
allegations made, be sustained, the Presi-
dent will of course withdraw the nomina-
ton.

And after thirty years. trial the "PAIN-KIL-
LER" may justly be styled the great medicine
of the world, for there Is no region of the globe
into which 1t has not found its way, and none
where ii has not been largely and highly priced.
Moreover, there is no climate to which II has
not proved itself to be well adapted for the cure
of considerable variety of diseases; 1t is admir-
ably suited for every race. II has lost none of
its good name by repeated trials, but continues
to occupy prominent position In every medi-
cine chest and is still receiving the most un-
qualified testimonials to its virtues, from per-
sons of the highest character and responsibility.
Physicians of the first respectabiity recon-
mend II as q most ehectual preparation for the
extinction of pain. 1t is not only the best
remedy ever known for Bruises, Cuts, Burns,
&C., but for Dysentery or Cholera, or any sort
of bowel complaint, II Is remedy unsurpassed
for efficiency and rapidity of action; In the
great cities of India aud ether hot climates, It
has become the Standard Medicine for all such
complaints, as we'll as for Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaints, and other kindred disorders. For
Coughs and Colds, Canker, Asthma, and Rheu-
matte difficulties, 1t has been proved by the
most abundant and convincing testimony TO be
an invaluable medicine. No article ever at
tanned such unbounded popularity. As an ex-
ternal and internal medicine, the Pain-Killer
stands unriyaled.
Thirty Years are certainly long enough
time to prove the efficiency of any medicine,
and that the PAIN-KILLER is deserving of all
It's proprietors claim for IL, Is amply proved by
the unparalleled popularity 1t has attained. II
is a sure and effective remedy. II is sold In al
most every country in the world, and Is becom-
ing more and mord popular every year. Its
healing properties have been fully tested, all
over the world, and 1t needs onlyto be known
to be priced. Be sure you buy none but the
genuine, manufactured by PERRY DAVIS q
Son, Providence, RI.

A DEMOCRATIC member from Kentucky,
Mr.. Beck, pays President Grant quite a
compliment for his management of the
Spanish troubles.
In the course Of remarks on question
before the House, he said:
"If there is anything which the Presi-
dent has managed well, it is the nego-
tiations with Spain. The President might
have plunged the country into difficulties,
and perhaps have aggrandized himself at
the expense of the country the course
which he has pursued has been extremely
moderate and wise"
