| new suit of clothes. The money and cloth
ing were distracted from a room in Mr..
Warnings residence by VIM. Roberts, boy
about 16 years of age, who had lived with
him for some months. The robbery was
committed during the absence from home
of Mr.. w. and family.
On Monday morning, Wilson Waring and
A. S. Elliott drove to Oxford, where they
ascertained the thief had departed ON the
train on Sunday afternoon for Philadelphia
They took the early morning train and pro-
ceeded to the city, but could find no clue or
trace of Roberts, although search was made
by the police throughout the city. 1t is
surmised the boy has gone to Elmira, N.
Y, where his relatives reside. The author
tiles of that city were advised by telegraph.
The money stolen belonged to Colora Lodge
of Knights of Pythias, of which Mr.. w.
is treasurer.-Orford Press.
Cream Soda Water.-Ice Cold Cream
Soda Water, a speciality, at FRAzER's Drug
Store.
A New Court In ElktOn.-The Town
Commissioners have established court
before which all violators of Town Ordi-
nances are brought by the Baliff, tried and
fined if proven guilty. The town authori-
ties propose to push evil doors to judgment
| and compel order and law to be respected
within the limits of the corporation. So
| disturbers of the peace take warning. If
you are not caught Immediately in the act,
you will be at the next convenient season,
and dealt with contrary to your wishes.
Several cases have been before the court
already with most salutary results. Ger
tanty of punishment insures obedience.
The Town Commissioners have rented and
fitted up room on North street, where in
future they will keep the archives of the
town and transact business. The fines
collected from evil doors 60 into the treas
ury of the town, and not to the State as
they do when imposed by other courts.
We commend this new movement Oh the
part of the Town Commissioners, and urge
the hearty cooperation of the citizens
Elkton has been made convenient stamp
ing ground for the lawless, noisy and turbu-
lent too long.
