ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.--On Sunday night
last, says the Daily, John Stewart, confined for
Oh c larceny of pair of pantaloons, attempted to
break out of the sunbury Jail. Together with
two other persons he occupied cell ON the Sc
eond hoor. and during the night he dug a hole
through the wall of the Jail and let himself down
into The yard by means of a blanket. He at
tempted to dig through the yard wall but finding
it too much of a job he began TO climb up to his
room for more iron to dig with, but before he
reached his window the blanket broke, letting him
fall distance of about ten feet, breaking his
right leg near the ankle. DIR. Clark was sent for
who set the broken member. SO quietly did
Stewart work that even his room mates did not
hear him.

a FATHER SHooTs HIS SoN-A sad case of
shooting occurred at the residence of Frederick
Rathfon in West Perry township, about one. half
mile east of Rich6eld, on Monday night last.
The facts in the case, as reported to us, are as
follows: Thomas Rathfon, the only son of
Frederick, had been away from home nearly all
day, on MonIay. About 1890 p. m, he came
home drunk (both father and son and the fami-
lies occupied the same dwelling). He commenc-
ed to beat his wife with the intent, il is sad to
kill her. His mother coming to her assistance,
he turned arouned and began to choke her, but
he soon found that his father interfered.
Thomas was about using knife, but throwing
il upon the floor and breaking II TO pieces, he
went for his gun. With this he approached his
father, and as the latter had nothing TO defend
himself with but pistol, the contents of which
he discharged at his son, the ball entered his
breast and lodged in his right shoulder. The
wound did not cause him TO drop, ard he at
once started towards the barn. His fat her en-
treated him to return, but this he refused to do,
and it was only at the request of some of his
neighbors that he was dna ly persuaded to do SO,
they having been attracted to the scene by hear
ing his shrieks. Upon examination by Drs.
Weimer and Heckert it was found that the pa
tient might recover. IL is said that the young
man has a violent temper when he takes tc
drinking aud that his repeated threats are both
sad and alarming. g.-FTseb'T1 Courier.

ABOUT STEEL PENs.-Few persons doubtless
are aware of the fact that the original inventor
of Steel Pens is still living. Sir Josiah Mason,
now the grea; pen manufacture of Birmingham,
England, now enjoys that distinction. He is
now very old, being above eighty. 1t is in his
of the widely fame Spencerian Double Elastic
Steel Pens are made, the models being supplied
by the proprietors OF the pen, Messrs. Iyison,
Brakeman, Taylor & Co., the Educational Pub
fishers of New York. The SpenceIian Pens
have attained their great popularity from a va
rety of reasons, all of which will be apparent
TO any one who may try them. OF one number
alone more than six millions were sold last year.
We use them in our Office, and are so well
pleased with them that we have no hesitation in
saying that they are, in our opinion, superior to
any other article of the kind with which we are
acquaiI ted. Their chief characteristics seem to
be hexibility, elasticity, durability and eyenness
of point, and nearer approximation to the real
quill action than has been heretofore attained in
steel pen. The spencerian are CON, ,,rIsed in
fifteen numbers, all differing in fexibility and
6ncness of point, and for the convenience of
those who wish to try them Messrs. Ivison,
Brakeman, Taylor & Co., l3S and 140 Grand
street, New York, will send by mail sample
card, securely enclosed, containing one each of
the different numbers, on receipt of TWENTY-FIVE
cents.

AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.

An interesting incident has just occurred
At Bucharest, and has created ii profound
sensation in theatro.u circles in that place.
1t seems that the proprietor Of the Suhr
Circus, anxious to provide amusement for
the public. lately published an announcement
that chnlclrr given by Jules Rigal, a
wrestler a,tac'd to the circus. had been
accepted b, "a Gentleman who, wishing to
preserve & strict incognito, would appear be-
fore the public in Il week The amateur
at letc, who, it waS stated, WAS person oc-
cupying high social position, was rumorcd
to he no other than Prince Stourdia, Il
Mplda'iau noble who has the reputation Of
possessing 'icrcuiean strength. On the even
ing when the great unknown made his
iil>l appearance in the circus, the stalls were
filed Wit. eager spectators long before the
commencement Of the performance. Rigal
and his masked opponent having made their
bow to the audience, at once commenced the
struggle, which was, however, of short du-
ration. for the distinguished unknown in
few minutes, amidst frantic applause, loOrcd
lis professional antagonist. 81 great was
the success Of the spectacle that the manager
aunnuncei to the adlniring audience that
t nobienan wrestler had condesccnded TO
appear again before them on the following
cy nug, when the performance wuS accord

wrestler was not Il distinguished nublcman,
hut only one OF the clowns attached to the

pieces by his late admirers, the manager and
his troupe had to fly for their lives, and the

of the police, who, with great difficulty, sue

We ranged ourselves along the cliff in
such manner rs to obtain Il safe s'lot at
them, and at signal from the guide we
covered four of the largest and most im-
por;aut-io0king sayagcs among the crowd,
and fired upon them. Three Of them dropped
like stones, ard the fourth ran screeching
and limping away towards Il vast ledge
of rocks at the upper end Of the ALLEY,
followed by all the rest Of the terror-strlckcn
crew. QuickIy reloading our rifles, we
made hurried descent into the valley by
one of the numerous paths that wound down
among the rocks, and releasing the over
joyed prisoners. and securing our three
mules. we hastily made our way back again
without meeting with the slightest oppoSi-
tion from the thoroughly yanqui,hcd

We learned from Trarton and lis beautiful
companion, who subsequently arrived safely
in California, and were duly married in the
presence Of our little party, that at the time
of their rescue they lad been for three days
