DRUNKEN PoLICEMEN.-The Cham
bersburg police force can hardly be
all that could be desired, judging from
the following from the Mercer Count
Meas:
"When the Common Council of the
boruogh Of Chambersburg have not got
backbone enough to remove public
officers for drunkenness while perform
ing their duties, and for fragrant neg
lect of said duties, it is about time
they sent in their designations. Late
proceedings in this borough, which
we do not care to particularize, are a
disgrace and a shame upon u.s.,
Chambersburgers need not worry,
however, as we will annex their Dor
ough in couple of years, and they
will then know how to appreciate good
government.

245 BROADWAY, n. Y, Nov. 20, 1881.
Mr.. Benz. THOMPSON, Manager,
90S WALNUT STREET, Philadelphia.
DEAR ri forward this day a most
remarkable invoice Of Fine Imported
Cassimeres, which [ have bought at
wonderfully low prices, So low in
fact that, though l consider panta-
looms of them worth SIS, I can and
will make them to order at 81 per
pair.
The reasons I fix the price so low
are
LIST. I like enterprise and push OF
business, and put them on the market
with a view of enlarged sales, not only
in Pantaloons, but also in Overcoats,
Coats and Vests.
I'd. Pantaloons at that figure will
induce many persons who desire our
Celebrated Cut, to become regular
customers.
Sd. 1t will be appreciated by our
present patrons, who will gladly order
an extra pair at such remarkable
figures.
Good sterling quality goods and low
figures are rare combination, and it
is not often that such chance as this
occurs. The whole lot, though large
must soon be closed out at such low
prices. Yours truly,
e. O. THOMPSON.
N. B.-The above goods have just
been received and are now opened
and ready for sale. An early call is
advised, or upon request samples will
be sent. E. 0. THOMPSON,

Ed. Cruchley Slabs Patrick Dovvney,
Letting Out His Intestines.

Ed. Cruchley stabs Patrick Dovxney,
Letting Out His Intestines.
A drunken row occurred on Main
street about IL o'clock Monday night
between Ed. Cruchley and Patrick
Downey, the termination of which
was that Cruchley stabbed Downey In
the left lilac. The particulars of the
affair, so far as we could learn them,
are Both men were very much I'M
der the influence of liquor and Dow
ney knocked Cruchley down with his
fist. Then Cruchley went off and
soon returned to renew the quarrel,
which he did, and then stabbed Dow
ney, as above stated. a little
above the left groin, inficting a very
dangerous wound, which was about
two inches long and from which pro-
truded the intestines. Downey was
taken into Bassett d. Brumett's saloon
and DIR. Campbell called in, who
examined the wound, put the intes-
tines back In place and sewed up the
cash. Downey was then removed TO
Mrs. Chipman's lodging house. It is
the general belief that Cruchley-
when he left Downey-went pur.
posely for his knife. and returned
fully determined TO s.get" his man.
he Was arrested soon after, next day
brought before Judge Lander and ad-
miued to bail in 81 900. His exam
nation ~ postponed till next Mon.
day. Considering the conditions I'M
der which Cruchley committed the
deed, and the critical state of the
wounded man, the bond is entirely
too low. Friday noon Downey was
easy, with the chances favorable for
recovery, but any change for the worse
may in a short time result fatally.
Both parties were entire strangers to
each other, never having met before.
Cruchley IL an old resident here
abouts, and is considered a dangerous
man when in liquor. Downey is a
stranger, being here but a few weeks,
and employed at Egan Canon. II he
he may consider himself for
tunate, and will owe his life, in a
great measure, to the timely services
and subsequent care OF DIR. Campbell,
who Is closely watching every sym p
ton and change in his case.

BANG /, BANG t, BANG III
A Masked Battery Turned Loose I'm
the Dance-house Monday Night.

AkaAs
About lOH o'clock Monday night
the residents of the upper part of
Main street were startled by the re-
port of three or four shots fired in
rapid succession. Being just in the
act of perusing the evening mail, we
rushed out and beheld such a pell-mell
of fleeing fugitives from the Temple of
Terpsichore as perhaps no one has
witpessed in this country since the
lannon's battle of Bull Run. Men
rushed in every direction, as if pur-
sued by unseen foes.
When the house was cleared, and
the smoke ofthe miniature battle pass
I'd away, We entered and gathered
the following facts regarding the
scrimniage Two young bloods, who
have tue reputation OF being on the
s'shoot," fell out about some real or
tancied injury "a woman, rs usual,
being at The BOTTOM of it,, and went
for Lneir guns 10 settle their dispute
in a crowded hall, regardless OF the
lives OF people WHO had no part OF
interest IN their quarrel. One fired
tao shots inside the house; the o.ner,
whUse pistol hung fire, thought dis
crrtion the better part of valOr, took
to his heels aud made a maslerly re.
treat among the wood piles OF neigh
bsr,ng houses. Tue shooter followed
and getting outside sent two more
shots AFTER nin, which widely missed
the marx. Just then officer Lyons
appeared upon the scene and march
ed inc hero OF the bloodless combat
of 10 limbo. the frightened Peris
la now scattered In every direction,
and il Mas some time before connd-
ence was aud the dance
went On.
Tue most remarkable thing about
the dIsgracetul affair Is that no
one was hurt. II these individuals,
VINO pretend 10 thirs. Tor blood, would
only 20 down on the sagebrugh flats
anu bang away at each other 10 their
hearts content, no n would obJect;
out when 1t comes to turning loose
deadly weapons in a crowded hall
and on the public street, they should
Ue made TO learn that, II they consid-
er their own lives OF no value, they
must not place the saune low estimate
on those Of others. Our officers and
aud citizens should see that the laws
are faithfully executed, and punish
nlent commensurate with the crime
meted out tothose who place the lives
OF innocent people IN danger.

A uonsun,,na.s .rhIef.

A young man, whose name we
could not learn. who has been laying
round the bntchershop for several
weeks, Tuesday night stole a saddle
and two brides from AL. Nuckols'
stable, and while the officers were
hunting him up Wednesday night
stole two horses from Charles Nc
Connell, and LIT out. Pursuit was
given and he was tracked up Cherry
Creek Canon, but seems to have
changed his course south, and it is
the general opinion he is making for
Ward or Phoebe. Mr.. Mcconnell,
who is pursuing the horse thief, has
been out two days and nights, and no
word has yet been heard from him.
1t is to he hoped he will overhaul and
bring in his man..

Like Old Times.

The Shooting scrape at the hurdy-
house Monday night reminded us Of
old times, when on the Eureka Sem
tinel, down on Ruel street. A thin
wooden partition was all that divided
the Sentinel composing-room from the
dance-house, and usually the nights
entertainment at the latter place
wound up with a shooting tournament
On such occasions the printers used
to do some good lodging behind
stands. Behind the stove was the
only safe place in the Office, but Cas-
sidy and Skillman had that safe spot
set apart for themselves. An em-
ploye who sought safety behind that
stove from the straggling bullets was
promptly discharged.

A wild Night.

To people living in the neighbour
hoo of the dance-house, last Monday
night was one of the unusual commo.
ton and unrest. From 1917 o'clock,
the time OF the shooting, until 2 or 8
in the morning a feverish excitement
prevailed i'm this neighborhood.
About an hour after the shooting
came the cutting affair. This was
lower down town ; but the coward
who plunged his knife into the bowels
of a drunken man beloved like a
calf being led to the slaughter, away
up in the street, frightening women
and children out OF their sleep. In
deed one would think the town had
run wild ami the scent of blood was
in the air. We know OF one lady who
has been sick ever since, owing to the
fright she received. 1t is strange that
full grown men will SO far forget
their W self respect as to indulge In
these beastly midnight brawls, put
ting in jeopardy not only their own,
but the lives of peaceable men, timid
women and innocent children. Last
Monday nights doings were ashame
and a disgrace to the parties who in
stigated and carried out their riotous
-murderous, we might say con-
duct. The strong arm of the law
should be invoked TO prevent a re-
petition of these disgraceful
Good mems lives are too precious to
be made targets for the bullets, or
meat for the knives, of these mid
night wranglers. We hope lever
again to be called on to chronicle such
~disgraceful proceedings in our usually
peaceful town.
