The East State Street Robbery Since
the robbery of Etter & Shanklln's store,
on east State Street, few weeks ago,
detectives have been engaged ferreting
out the perpetrators of the crime. The
detectives when they arrested Peter
Douglass and Henry Spahr, were con-
vinced that they had the right parties,
but where to find the swag'' was the
question that puzzled them, considera-
bly,. Harry Spahr, who is novice In
crime-a mere boy recently showed
signs of repentance; and yesterday
morning he expressed willingness to
accompany an officer to the spot where
his portion of the plumber was secreted.
1t was found under the rafters of the
watch box corner of North and Canal
streets, and when counted at the mayors
office was found to be about $40, and

For THE TIMES.
A Remarkable Party.

This party met near Sandy Hill about
a week ago, and though one of the
most respectable, was also very re-
markable one. For although 1t consisted
of but eleven persons, old and young,
there were three counties represented.
There were present bachelors, old maids,
widows, and orphans, and what is COM
monty called young folks. One Of these
was musician, another a follower of
the Pedagogical profession, one tiller
of the soil, another maker of the last
dwelling house of man, and last but
not least a mender of bad soles.

X Attempted Robbery-A few nights since
Mrs. Lightner, wife of Jacob Light
ner of Landisburg awoke her husband
saying "there is some one In the ROOM"
Her husband got up and lighted lamp
but as several matches went out before
one burned rightly 1t was probably a
minute before he obtained light. Upon
searching the room no person was
found, but door leading on to the
porch was open little way, and this
door they knew to be closed and fasten-
ed when they retired for the night. Mr..
LIS vest where he usually carried fine
watch had been taken out from under his
pillow and 1t was this vest touching his
wife's face that awakened her. That
night however she had taken the watch
from the vest pocket and put 1t in
another place, thus saving this valuable
piece of property. A suspicious crcum-
stance in connection with this attempt
ed robbery is the fact that Mrs. l.. had
been asked during the day by one of the
peddlers who were concerned in the
watch swindle we recorded last week, If
she had that watch which had been
presented to her by her father, and
when he was told she had, he requested
to look at it, but was told that her hus-
band had the watch at the School he
was teaching. These parties were seen
in town early in the evening, but were
not soon afterwarda Whoavar atfon,t,t
ed the robbery must have been secreted
in the house before it was locked for the
night.

Troublesome Tramps.- The tramps In
the Jail at Mifflintown became 80 abusive
few days ago that the women could
not go into the Jail yard to attend to
their duties at the oven. The sheriff
then put some men prisoners at that
work, and they were soon compelled to
quit. The mean tramps that night made
such din with tin plates, and pound
ing on the floor, and shouting that they
alarmed the town, and a great crowd
gathered around the Jail. Various sug-
gestions were made as to what should be
done with the scamps, but no action
was taken till finally some person fired
at the door, the shot passing through 1t,
and through the room hitting no one.
This seemed to have soothing effect on
the inmates, and after time their
demonstrations ceased. 1t would seem
as though the sheriff was hardly equal
to the occasion, or he would have made
short work with these fellows.

THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES
MAKES THE FOLLOWINGA NNONCE.
MENT TO THE PUBLIC:

The dissatisfaction which prevails
throughout the community with regard to
onerous conditions contained in life assur.
ance contracts and the judicial decisions
based thereon, together with the public In
dorsement Of the liberal usages Of this So
ciety, as shown by its largely increased
business, has led the management seriously
to consider whether the contract could not
be simplifed and certain conditions erased
,hercfrom which have been the subject of
much criticism and misconcoption.
After careful examination of the ex-
perience of some of the best companies in
Great Britain, who have shown a greater
liberality than has been customary in this
country, this society feels justified in adopt
