JUDGE Stokes, during last week, finished
the laying of a flag stone walk in front of his
residence on Main street. These walks are
slowly crowding themselves into fashion in
our borough, and will soon demonstrate,
conclusively, their superiority over the old
toe-stumping brick side walk which has so
long ruled as a nuisance here. The first cost
of flag walk is somewhat more than brick,
but as they last an age and in the saving Of
repairs and in comfort to the pedestrian,
they are much cheaper in the long run; and
not very long run either.

Ths wicked Fles, 20.

The police were unsuccessful yesterday in
the search for tramps. The places where
they usually resorted were deserted of their
presence, and 1t was their belief last even-
Ing that not one was left in the city. Dur
ing the day Chief o. Toole took two Of them
to New Castle who had been sentenced to
jail for sixty days. When he arrived, there
were several around the depot, who, upon
espying his uniform, and suspecting that he
was after them, made rapid time in an OPP
posite direction, thus fulfilling very truth
full biblical lesson, "The wicked fee when
no man pursueth." Since the raid was
made upon these wanderers quite number
of cases have been reported of their depre-
dstions. One Of these WAS in broad day
light. A dirty, repulsive looking fellow
went into the store Of lady on Front street
and made improper proposals to her, which
she repulsed with INDIGNATION, and called q
gentleman passing by to her assistance, who
belabored the scoundrel well about the
shoulders. A few nights since one went
into the store OF gentleman on Ninth
street, rear French, while he was out, and
demanded money of bis wis wife, who was
standing behind the counter. She offered
to give him as much to eat as he wished,
but this he refused, and said he wanted
money, and persisted so In his demands
that the lady threatened to call her hus-
band. This did not even frighten him, and
but for the timely arrival Of an acquaint-
ance he might have attempted to rob the
till. No less than four instances have been
brought to the notice of the police
where children have been stopped
who were taking dinner to their parents,
and the contents of their baskets taken from
them. Several times, across the creek,
where they were in such numbers as to lead
to the impression that they were colonizing,
they became SO bad as to create alarm
among the people. In numbers of instances
cows were driven from the sheds and milked
by these fellows. An old gentleman named
Charles McMullen, who ownsa large num-
Der of COWS detected the tramps on Monday
in the act of milking them, and he remon-
strated, whereupon one OF them drew q pis-
tol. Mr.. McMullen always carries heavy
cane, and with this he charged the crowd, ,.
two of the number were laid sprawling at
his feet under the fierce blows he admins
tered, and the others sought safety in fight.
The number of them In the city previous to
the raid OF the police must have been large,
as gentleman keeping store at the corner
of Sixth and Poplar informed the Chief of
Police that there were twenty-five calls
upon him in one day for assistance. In the
vicinity of the Brandywine the people were
completely overrun with them.

After the game at Renova we returned to
Lock Haven to stop over Sunday. To-mor-
row, Monday, July S1st, we play the Will
Transport again. In my last letter l wrote
that we expected to play the Quicksteps, OF
Wilmington, at Williamsport on Saturday.
Such was the case. When they left here
we had arranged to play at the above place
and time, but on the "Quicks" getting away
their manager sent telegram to us stating
that they could not play and that 1t was
Lafferty's fault showing that they did not
wish to play us on neutral ground, as the
feeling Is here and in Williamsport that we
are the best nine. On our trip we have
shown 1t in our scores; we have beaten their
score with the clubs of Reading, Williams
port and Renova, and 1t would have been
the best place to have played to see who
was the best.
Yesterday afternoon the Moody, nine met

The London "Graphic" makes very In
teresting display of original sketched drawn
for their paper; several by Miss Thompson,
who executed the celebrated cavalry picture
"Halt," and q number of others, equally
we'll known. A large collection of original
sketohes made during the Franco -Prussian
war, several of which came from Paris to
London by balloon post, and the original
sketches made by correspondents who &C.
companied the Prince Of Wales on his late
visit to India. These last were presented
to the Prince se of Wales, who directed that
they should be sent to the Centennial Exhi-
bition.
The rolling chairs are not az great sue
cess as they promised to be early in the
season. They are at present but little pa
tronized. The men who push them along
are called Centennial mules" by the at
taches. They receive nine dollars per week,
and are obliged to pay sixteen dollars for
uniform, which in some cases is no sooner
paid for than their owner is discharged.
The "mules," singular to say, manifest
great eagerness to get out first on q job as
they manage to collect little something
In the way Of "tips," which helps to COM
pensate them for the small salary they re-
ceive.
All the street railways running to the ex-
hibitioD, display signs to the effect that
theirs is the shortest and quickest route to
the Centennial. As they all 60 by different
routes, this is somewhat paradoxical.
There is an interesting exhibit made by

some very fine photographs, and large
number Of swords of the famous Toledo
