ges, not only Of puddlers, but OF all
skilled laborers In rolling mills, must
come down from 10 to 20 per cent,
which will bring them to the level Of
the prices ruling at the beginning Of the
present year. 1t Is no secret that some
of the workingmen have been expecting
this action for at least couple of weeks,
and that in some parts of Pennsylvania
there has been some talk of O resistance
to the proposed reduction. II is to be
trusted, however, that the men will look
before they leap. They may rest assur-
ed that the present action is born of
necessity, and should they resolve upon
strike, they will only succeed in CIV
ing an impetus to the eimportation move
ment, to the detriment of the domestic
iron trade -Bradstreet's Reporter.

by the capture Of j. Lewis Robinson, q
wealthy farmer, in whose possession was
found whifiletree belonging to MEM
Der of the detective society. An exam
ination revealed the fact that Robinson's
house must have been kind of head
quarters at which to deposit the booty,
or else he was captain of yhe gang, and
what was found was his share Of the
plunder, such as horse collars, double
trees, shovels, spades, stove pipes,
clocks, crockery and glassware, silk and
other dress goods already made up,
shawls, scarfs, bedding and sheets, lap
robes, afghans, blankets in fact every
imaginable thing for the use of man,

capture will no doubt lead TO breaking
up this band of thieves that have so
long annoyed the citizens of the above

A Gang of Thieves.

In the northwest portion of Chester
county, adjoining Lancaster and Berks
counties, there is very rugged strip of
country known as the Welsh noun
tains. For years that place has been
the safe retreat of set of land pirates
known as the "Welsh Mountain Gang"
It was thoroughly organized body, in
cluding members in all classes of the
community from the very scum to the
wealthy farmer. They preyed upon
their neighbors and committed every
crime short of murder. Matters had
grown SO bad that an organization was
perfected to ferret out and break up the
practice of the gang, and last week the
labors Of this association were rewarded

The Iron Trade.


The fall in the price of iron will prob
ably be followed by reduction in the
wages of the operatives. At least this
is likely to be the out come of the secret
meeting of bar iron manufacturers
which was held at Philadelphia last
Wednesday, and as the gathering was
one of the largest of this particular bus
iness ever held in the country, it may be
presumed that whatever course of action
is definitely decided on will govern the
trade at large. Some of the papers in
the iron districts of England were ex-
pressing surprise the other day at the
fact that the wages of puddlers in the
United States were nearly 300 per cent
higher than the average in the old
country. The figures given at the re-
cent meeting support this statement,
the English price for pudding being SO
per ton, the Philadelphia figure $40,
and the Pittsburgh $3.50 to @. Iron
manufacturers in general are freely CIV

foreign competition is to be successfully

dollars, but afterwards refused to
pay 1t, and when suit was brought
against him he pleaded that the sub
scription or promise being made on SUM-
day, was illegal, and therefore could not
beenforced. The statutes of Michigan
prohibit, undeppenalty of a fine, every
person from doing on Sunday "any
manner of business or work except on
ly works of necessity or charity" The
Supreme Court says that taking sub.
.scriptions on Sunday is not work of
necessity, for the reason that it can be
done atany other time. There is no
doubt says the court, that this is the
most convenient time to attend to the
matter, but Il might, for the same rea-
son, have been the most convenient
time for doing other business, such as
the Grading of horses, the hiring of la
borers, and the general settlements of
acconnts, had the persons present been
disposed to engage in such transactions.
But,tke taking Of subscriptions, as the
court holds is a work of charity which
comes within the exception made by the
statute. All the necessary or usual work
says the opinion, connected with relig-
ious worship is work of charity
Otherwise the preacher, the organist,an
the sexton would violate the law when
ever they performed their church duties

fore held to be lawful, and the defendant

.KIeptOmania.


 About eight years ago an alarm reached the chief of police in London that jewels of great value had been stolen from 8 lady of high rank while guest at 8 quiet northern country house. A handsome reward was offered, and not long afterward it became known that the property had been recovered. Astound- ing as it may seem, it is nevertheless true that the temporary appropriator of these fine things was millionaire peer, who, albeit in nowise penurious. its singulariy simple in his personal habits, and does not spend one- fourth of his income. The matter was all hushed up, and very few persons outside the family knew who the thief, if we can so call him, really was. This was general case of kleptomania, and proves beyond doubt that it really exists. An English earl of high distinction had this weakness from boy hood, and it involved his leaving Eton. When, in after years, he entered the Cabinet, 1t was rumored that Lord - had entirely conquered the propensity, sexcept that at a Cabinet council he never could resist sDizZy's new green kid gloves" The alarming disap pearance of wax candles at the Travellers club, London, some years ago, caused much dismay. The mystery was at length solved by e member of the committee seeing the old Duke of O., (with clear $750,O00 8 year) ambling along a corridor with candle stick ing out of his coat t-tail pocket. His family were communicated with, and his grace ceased to come to the club. Possibly, simi- lar tendency may perhaps explain an unto ward incident which occurred last season at Newport, and has lately been recalled by a concatenation of curious circumstances. There | is doubtless great deal of sham kleptomania, but 1t is not the less true that sometimes it is perfectly genuine. It is, however, very un- | fortunate to be at once kleptomaniac and i'm. pecunious.
