ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.

Alarm.

Thieves Frightened or by Burglar
Alarm.
Shortly after o'clock yesterday morn
ing Mrs. II. ]. Wiley, residing at No. 14O
East Orange street, was awakened by the
sound of patent burglar alarm which
she has running to her bedroom from the
different windows and doors in the lower
story of her house. The noise was also
heard by several persons residing in the
neighborhood, who quickly arose and to-
gether with Officer Cramer, went to Mrs.
Wiley's house Mrs. Wiley, who saw
by looking at the indicator in her
room that the dining room door had been
opened, came down stairs and admitted
the neighbors at the side door. An exam
ination of the entire house was made by
Officer Cramer, who found that nothing
had been stolen. The window leading tc
the side porch, from the kitchen, was
found to be open but the shutters We're not
bored. II the thieves entered at that place
it is likely that they then went to the din
ing room door, which they attempted tc
enter, when the alarm was sounded. 1t is
believed by some that the thieves enter
cd the building early in the evening
and after secreting themselves, attempted
to get out of the dining room door whel
the alarm sounded. If this had been the
case they would likely have dropped some
thing when they fled. AS it was, nothing
was disturbed, and the probabilities arc
that the would-be thieves were only enter
ing when they were frightened off.
Mr.. J. L. Lyte, of the Examiner. who
resides on Lime street, near Orange, wa
awakened by the noise in the neighbor
hood, and upon looking out of the window
he saw man running at a rapid rate uI
Lime towards Chestnut. He believes that
there were two in the party, however, a:
he distinctly heard the footsteps of an
other, but was only able to see one.

An Eug1ish Fool.

While the English ship Sophia was lying
at the first pier south of Reed street, Phil
adelphia, ON Saturday morning, some of
the hands got to skylarking, and man
named Vincent went to the galley, and,
heating poker at the stove there, ran
with it into the oil room, intending to
frighten his companions. Not succeeding
in this, he placed the heated end against
the barrel containing the kerosene, result
ing within few minutes in an explosion,
the force of which blew the men and boys
out of the room and into the galley, de-
molished and set on fire a part of the
framework, and ignited the clothing of the
whole party. The cook, apprentice boys,
second mate and the seamen ran out on
former jumped over the side of the
vessel into the dock, closely followed
by the apprentice boys and seaman, but
the cook was the only one of the four who
reached the adjoining pier, the remaining
three sinking almost as soon as they
touched the water. The second mate on
reaching the deck, removed a portion of
his burning clothing. covered himself with
piec, of canvas, and with the assist snce
of the first mate and captain, extinguished
the flames, but not before he was badly
buaned The bodies of those who disap-
peared under the water were all recovered.
The fire on the vessel was extinguished
without much trouble. The neighboring
docks were crowded with vessels, all dis
charging their cargoes, and if the fire had
gained any considerable headway the
fames would have spread to the shipping
and done large amount of damage.

The glorious rains of Saturday night and
Sunday have put the ground in admirable
condition for setting out the young to-
bacco plants, and to- day thousands of men
and boys, and not a few women, are in the
fields in all parts of the county, taking adj
vantage of the favorable condition of the
weather to get through with their plant
ing. 1t is more than limited that many
pious people neglected their Sunday devo-
tions yesterday and boldly went to work
in their tobacco patches. They believe in
the old maxim ''rake hay while the sun
shines''-and plant tobacco when it rains.
To-day the weather is very favorable the
sky is overcast, the air is cool and the
ground is moist and mellow. But it is far
too early yet to predict what may be the
outcome. Paul may plant and Apollos
water, but they cannot control the result.
The killing drouth, the cutting hail, the
destroying insect must be stayed by
higher power, or all the labor of the hus-
bandman will be In vain.
OF the crop of 1879 it is said that not less
than 1 900 cases were sold during the past
week at paying figures. OF 1878 le:f
about 200 cases were sold, and this pretty
nearly cleans up the crop-well posted
dealers saying that there are scarcely 500
cases left in the market.
L. G. Martin, of Springville, Mount Joy

were raised in pots previous to their being

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A German Killed at Columbia.

Last night. in front of Blacks hotel, at
Columbia, German named George
Mester, baker by trade, was run over by
the third National line freight east and So
badly injured that he died soon afterwarl.
1t appears that he and companion had
heard that bakers were wanted in Atlantic
City, and they quilted their place of busi-
ness in Columbia on Saturday with the
intention Of going thither Oh Sunday.
Learning that no passenger trains would
go east during the evening they visited
some places where liquor could be had and
became a good deal intoxicated. They
were seen at o'clock p. IN. under the
influence of liquor and were given lodging
at Krauss's hotel. 1t is supposed that
Mester got out of bed, dressed himself and
attempted to board the National line freight
while it was passing the hotel, and, making
misstep. was thrown under the cars.
Both of his legs and one of his arms were
terribly crushed. lie died at half-past 10
O'Clock. He was a single man, and it is
believed had no relations in this country.
Deputy Coroner Frank took charge of the
body.

st. Clements.

Until Friday Bishop Stevens had not for
five years visited st. Clements church.
Philadelphia. 1t is the church which has
become SO famous by reason Of its rituals
tic ceremonies. On Friday the bishop
confirmed over fifty persons there. Those
of the candidates who were young girls
were arrayed in white, with long white
wells. The more elderly ladies wore Il Gu
rious headdress of white material, drawn
tightly over the head, and fastened in a
bunch behind, where it spread out like the
cape of Shaker bonnet. The services
were quite simple, emitting, out of defer:
ence to the views of Bishop Stevens, all
objectiOnal ritualistic novelties. There
were candles on the altar, but they were
not lighted. Although st. Clements is a
very stylish church, with a wealthy and
fashionable congregation, there were sew
eral colored persons among those who
were confirmed.

found self-confessed motives and indubi-
