manufacturer, got aicely taken in and
done for on last Wednesday evening,
by two colored men who we're selling
real genuine gold rings, Is karat, at a
bargain. They each contained Chat
is the gold lings) three initials which
the colored sharpers said stood for their
names, and the reason they offered
the rings for sale so cheap was because
they had got hard up, being out Of
work, and they wished to leave the
city. The candy merchant was first
accosted by one of the vender of rings
and the ring offered to him for 50. Not
having the change about him he got a
five dollar bill changed. and offered the
sharper 81 for the bargain, when he
was at once taken up, and the ring
changed owners. Not long afterwards
the candy manufacturer was called on
by the Insurance man, who asked him
If he had bought ring from colored
man, and how much he had paid for it,
On icing told his lower jaw dropped.
He had paid just 80 cent? more for his
bargain than his friend. But the best
OF the joke is 1T has since turned out
that the rings are the best of brass and
the young men would like to have a
consultation with those colored men for

struck by Lightnilsg

The barn owned By Mrs. JOS. Grubb
and rented by John W. Moore, situated
on the Lancaster Pike, about three and
a half miles from this city, was struck
by lightning last evening. The barn
was burned to the ground. and all the
wheat and hay therein were burned.
Just as the barn was struck load of
wheat was taken in, and time was bare
ly allowed to unhitch the horses and
drive them ont before it was DESTROYED.
In the barn were several carriages
and nearly all the farming implements,
all of which were consumed. Fortu-
nately there were at the time, no live
stock in the barn. There is an insur-
ance of $4,000 on the building.
The loss bears heavily upon Mr.. NJ.
az he only removed to the farm last
March, having rented it for the current
year. He purchased the wheat crop
from Mrs. Schneider, the former tenant
who had it insured in the Mill Creek
Mutual, but on the transfer Of owner

employed under Mr.. John Davis, by the

ed in building the platform where the
calf shed was, at the Welsh street cross

received painful injuries. He was on
the platform at work, when, in stepping
back, he fell off into the open space be-
tween the platform and the building,
and the large plank upon which he was
working fell upon him, and struck him
in the abdomen, rendering him insen-
sible. He was removed to the freight
house, and DR.. w. B. Ulrich, railroad
physician, summoned. The injury,
he SAID, was not serious one, and he
prescribed for him. The platform is

An Angry Swimmer.


Robert Wallace, lad, was arraigned
at the police court last evening on the
charge Of striking Andrew Murphy
with a large stick while he was in
bathing. Andrew Murphy, the CON-
plainant, appeared at the police station
with his head tied up, and in giving
his testimony, said that he was into
bathe at Fourth street wharf when the
defendent struck him on the head with
stick. He did not know why he ac-
ted thus, and witness could not say
whether it was done on purpose or not.
John Haggerty, another lad, was in
the water with Murphy and taking hold
of him after he was struck pulled him
ashore.
William Hayes testified to standing
on the wharf with Wallace when he
struck Murphy simply because he had
tramped on his clothes.
Louis Saville was examined but he
knew nothing of the affair.
His Honor informed the boys that If
the accident had not occurred they
would all have been arrested, as the
officers had been sent down to the wharf
to arrest all boys found swimming. He
told the boys that If caught swimming
around the wharves they would be ar
rested as he intended to put stop to it.
Wallace was fined $500 and cost.
Shortly afterwards the prisoner was
sent back to his cells. The witnesses
in this case asked the Chief for their
witness fees, but on being told that the
prisoner had not paid his fine, the boys
left the court room rather displeased,
as they thought they would have ex-
perienced no difficulty in securing their

had its effect as is seen and felt in the

crop, Of which 1t is said serious injury
had been sustained. the effect was ben.
efcial. At Dslmar about two inches
Of rain fell.
In Kent and Queen AIMS counties,
Maryland, there was considerable hail
and material damage done to the corn
crop. The peaches were effected, but
not enough to cause serious apprshen-
sion; as far as our information goes no
damage whatever was done by electric
