BURGLARS SHOT THROUGH THE HEART
AND ANOTHER MORTALLY WOUNDED.
The Office of the Oxford Iron company
at Oxford, \. j., on the Delaware, Lack
awauna & Western railroad, was the thea
tire of most thrilling affair shortly after
II o'clock on Saturday morning last be-
tween the watchman, Mr. VIM Soaring,
and a gang of masked burglars, who broke
in for the purpose of plundering the estab-
lishment At twelve o'clock Soaring went
into the basement for some kindlings, and
on his return to the Office was startled by
the appearance of man in mask advanc-
ing towards him from the desk and another

A Situation.

A story is told of a clothing merchant,
on Chatham street, New York, who kept
very open store and drove thriving trade
the natural consequence being that he waxed
wealthy and indolent. He finally conclud-
ed to get an assistant to take his place on
the sidewalk to ''run in" customers, while
he himself would enjoy his otium cam dig
within the store. Having advertised for a
suitable clerk, he awaited applications deter
mined that he would engaged none but a
good talker, who would be sure to promote
his interests.
Several unsuccessful applicants were dis
missed, when a smart-looking Americanized
Jaw came along and applied for the situa-
ton. The "boss" was determined not to
engage the fellow without proof of his thor
ough capability and sharpness. Hence the
following dialogue
"Look here, you man l told you some
dings. | will gone up de street und walk
me back dis shop yust like | vas coundry-
mans, unit Of you can make me buy cost
by you [ will hire you right away quick !"
"All right" said the young man, ''go
ahead, and if don't sell youa coat won t
ask the situation"
The proprietor proceeded short dis
tance up the street, then sauntered back
toward the shop, where the young man was
on the alert for him
'Hi look here Doa't you want some
clothes to-day ?"
"No. | don't want me noting" returned
the ''boss"
"But stop inside, aud let me show you
what an elegant stock we have, said the
"spider to the fly" catching him by the
arm and forcing him into the store.
After considerable palaver, the clerk ex-
pectant got down a coat, cn the merits of
which he expatiated at length, and finally
offered it to the "countryman" at $50, re-
marked that it was "dirt cheap p
"Dirty dollar? My kracious vouldn t
give you dwenty. But l don't want de
coat anyways
"You had better take it, my friend, you
don't get bargain like this every day"
"No, | don't want it. l gone me out
Good day"
"Hold on; don't be in such hurry,
answered the anxious clerk. ''See, here
now, the boss has been out all day, and ]
haven't sold dollars worth l want to
have some thing to show TO him when he
comes back, so take the coat at S25 thai

is just what it cost. / don't make Il cent
on it, but take it along"
''Ioung man, don'd / told YOU three,
four couple of dimes dat don't want dc
coat ?"
"Well, take it at $50; I'll lose money on
it, but |, want to make one sale. ADy7fa}
before the boss come in. Take it at go
"Ncll, / don't want de coat, but III give
You fifteen tollar, and not one cent more"
''Oh, my friend, l couldn't do it Why
that coat cost S26 yet sooner than nos
make a sale [ let you have it for SIS, and
stand the loss
''No, / don't want it anyways. 1t ain'd
vurt no more as fifteen tollar, but I wouldn't
gif a cent more SO help me kracious"
Here the counterfeit rustic turned to de
part pleased TO think that he had got the
best Of the young clerk but that individual
was equal to the emergency Knowing
that he must sell the garment to secure his
place, he seized the parting boss, saying;
"Well, I'll tell you how it is. The ,~aH
who keeps this place is an uncle Of mine,
and as he is mean old cuss, want to
burst him Here, take the coat at S15."
This settled the business. The propric;
tor san that this was too valuable sslcs:
man to let slip, and SO engaged him at once;
and he may be seen every day standing in
front of the shop, urging innocent country
men to buy clothes which are ''yust dc fit"

coming in his direction from the middle
Office.
1t was moment of supreme excitement.
With wonderful presence of mind the watch
man dropped his basket, and drawing his
revolver fred upon the burglar in front of
him, sending 4 bullet whistling through his
heart. The rufian rolled upon the floor,
and moment later was rigid corpse
bathed in blood This brilliant coup de
main on the part of Soaring enraged the
burglars, OF whom there were three still to
be disposed of, and in rushing into the mid
die of the room to escape the one approach
ing him near the cellar door, he was seized
by third, at whom he fred and who, it
is expected, is mortally wounded, as the
bloody trail left in his path testifies to the
efficiency of the watchmans shot. At his
juncture another of the gang dealt the
brave watchman blow of a club with
which he felled him to the ground, when
they proceeded to manacle him. The strug-
gle was most intense Searing's cries for
help brought TO his assistance the store dog
Major, and then calling as if to compan-
ion Come on, Gray, but don't shoot, the
desperadoes became alarmed and fed
through the Office window, which was sub
sequently found covered with blood
\ few minutes later and Messrs. Gray,
Fred. Fowler w. Ii. Scranton, attracted
by the watchman's cries, came upon the
scene. The thieves had fed, however,
leaving their dead companion behind them.
Soaring had a handcutf on one hand and a
severe bruise on the head, where one of the
rufiians had struck him.
Upon the mask being removed from the
burglar face it revealed countenance of
the most brutal type The rufian seemed
about twenty-five years of age, had a we'll
knit frame, and was evidently about six
feet high. On his person was found a
quantity of nitro-glycerine, cartridges and
other burglarious ammunition such as pro-
fessional burglars employ in their ncfarious
work
A new Jimmy was found under the
safe in the Office, and later in the day the
dead burglars overcoat and gloves, with
some money and the photographs of two
children were found, but nothing to lead to
Identification in the way of writing. The
path taken by the decamping desperadoes
was clearly in the daylight for distance
of half a mile by the heavy trail of blood
marked by the bleeding burglar, and at the
foot of a tree where he changed his cloth
ing and left them behind him there was
large pool of blood. 1t is expected that he
could not live many hours later. Along
the railroad was discovered valise contain
ing a complete set of burglars tools, show
ing that the men were professional ''cracks." +"
They entered the office in their stocking
feet, and doubtless calculated on overpower-
ing the watchman and then rifing the safe
Of its contents.
On Saturday jury was engaged ex-
amining the Office, and kilograms were sent
in all directions that it was thought the
thieves would take. Soaring, the watch
man, was the hero of the hour, and is to-
day perhaps the the most popular man in
Oxford.

PreserVative Power of Lime.

The Scientific 1naeriican tells us that
NJ. Lostal, Railway Contractor, of Ferminy,
has communicated to the Society of Mineral
Industry, at ST. Etienne, France, the +6.t
suits Of his observations on the effect of
lime in preserving wood and his method of
applying it. He piles the planks in tank,
and puts over all layer ofquick-lime whicH
is gradually Stacked with water. Timber for
mines requires about a week to become
thoroughly impregnated, and other wood
more or less time, according to its thick
ness. The wood acquires remarkable cor
sistcnce and hardness, and, it is said, viii
never rot. Wood has been prepared in this
manner for several miles, so that the plan
will shortly be tested on a considerable
scale Beechwood has been prepared il
this way for hammers and other tools for
several IRON works, and it is said to become
as hard as oak without its elasticity or tough
ness, and to last much longer than when
undrepared. 1t has long been known that
wood set in lime or mortar is preserved
from decay, but no systematic plan for its
preservation has until now been attempted
The experience which most of us have
had with whitewash on farm buildings and
fences, leads us to believe there may
be something in this idea We have known
wood annually whitcwashed to last much
longer than some that has been carefully
painted, tarred, or otherwise cared for In
deed as regards tar, there is often no bet
ter way, short of actual burning, to hasten
the destruction Of wood 1t is used be
cause it keeps out water, and so far it is q
benefit but it is heat as well as water that
hastens decomposition, and the dark color
of the tar absorbs heat to an extraordinary
degree. We can lay our hands on white
washed fence In summer time with COM
Portable feeling but to put ones hand on
a tarred post in the full sun, is a sure pre-
cursor of an unscemingly ddnce, with per-
haps some hastily expressed sentiment con-
corning it. OF course, the hotter the eli
mate, the more rapidly the dark color has
tens decay, and it is more likely to aid
above ground than beneath 4 post dark
painted, or tarred on the part beneath the
ground, will therefore decay faster than one
not SC colored, but not so fast as one fully
exposed to heated atmosphere. 1t is not,
perhaps, that there is much preservative
power in the lime itself so much as in It's
| light color.
