SAFE BLOWN OPEN.

Coal Office Broken into and Robbed.
Last night the coal Office of Cassel Il
Clung, in the lower end of Mount Joy Dor
ough, was broken into by thieves, who eff
fected an entrance by removing the tran.
som above the Office door. They then
bored hole into the door of the burglar
proof safe just below tho combina
ton, and charging it with powder, blew
off the safe door. All they got for their
trouble and risk was about 81 in money
and watch of no great value. The bor-
ing and blowing up of the safe were artist
ically done and it is thought those engaged
in the job were professionals.
A correspondent in Mount Joy Informs
us that this is the third time within two
years that this office has been robbed.
Last nights thieves first entered grist mill
belonging to John A. Snyder. on the Lit
tie Chiqucs just cast of the borough
limits, by prying open a window. They
soon found their way to thesOffice, when
they forced open desk, ransackcd it. but
took none of the contents Fifty cents in
change in pigeon hole Of the desk
escaped their notice, as it was
left undis:urbed. The Office lamp the
thieves took with them to the coal office
about two hundred yards distant and over
the way from tho Pennsylvania freight
depot. At. 3 o'clock this morning Mrs.
John A. Snyder, who lives about one hun
drcd yards from the coal office, heard a
report which shc said resembled that Of
blasting rock, and she thought it was in
the direction Of Marietta, which she found
to be the case when the robbery was dis
covered this morning. The lamp which
the thieves had stolen from Mr.. Snydcr's
was found in tobacco patch across the
railway from the Office.

RESCUED FROM DEATH

The following statement of Villa sh-
lin, of Somerville, Mass, is 80 remarkable that
we beg to ask for it the attention of our read
ers. He says: "ln the fall Of 1915 was taken
with violent bleeding OF the lungs followed
by a severe cough. 1 soon began to loso my
appetite and flesh. 1 was SO weak at one time
that could not leave my bed. In tho summer
of 1877 1 was admitted to the City Hospital.
While there the doctors said 1 hal q hole in
my left lung as big as half collar. l sxpend-
ed over hundred dollars in doctors and med
icine. was so far gone at ono time q report
wen: around that was dead. 1 Igave up hope,
but q friend told me of DR.. WV. HALL's BALsAN
FUR THE LUNGS. laughed at my friends, think.
ing that my case was incurable, but got q
bottle to satisfy them, when to my surprise
and qualification, commenced to feel better.
My hope, once dead, began to revive, and to-
day 1 feel in better spirits than have the past
three years.
II write this hoping you will publish 1t, 50
that everyone afflicted with Diseased Lungs
will be induced to take DR.. VIM. Halls Bslsam
tor the Lungs, and be convinced that con.
sumption can DC cured. l have taken two
bottles and can positively say that it has done
more good than all other medicines have
taken since my sickness. My cough has Al

Voting Against Removal at Present.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Washington, D. c.,
Aug. Is, 9:51 A. Oficial.-The subject
of the removal of the president from Wash
ingron at tho present time was earnestly
considered by us last night and again this
morning. After mature deliberation the
conclusion was arrived at by the majority
that it would not now be prudent, although
all agree that it will be very desirable at
tho earliest time at which his condition
may warrant it. We are, moreover, unan-
imously of the opinion that at no time
since the injury has the president exhibited
any symptoms of malaria.

THE WATER STREET SEWER NUISANCE
A Horse Fails into tho Trench.

Horse Fails INTO tn0 Irencns
This morning about z o'clock as Sim
mons & Co.'s ice wagon was being driven
along Water street, one OF the horses
stepped too close to the edge of the deep
trench dug for the sewer and stepped over
the bank, almost dragging the other horse
and the wagon after The trench at this
point is some fourteen feet deep and the
horse hung for some time suspended in it,
being unable to get out, and the harness
preventing him from falling to the
bottom. After remaining in this
position for some time the harness
was cut and the horse was let
fall to the bottom Of the trench, and by
this means the other horse and wagon were
saved from being dragged in also. Fortu-
nately, the horse was not much injured by
the fall, and was got out Of tho trench by
cutting away the earth at one end, and
forming an inclined plane up which he
could walk.
There is just complaint, all along the
line. at the unnecessary length OF time
consumed in tho construction of this
sewer, and the frequent accidents that
have taken place during the progress of
the work.

noon an ugly wreck occurred on the upper
side of the bridge ON Mulberry street over
the PENNSYLVANIA railroad. The engine
and all except the rear car had passed
safely over the bridge, when faulty rail
splintered and threw the last one, double
coal car, from the track. 1t bumped
over the bridge and knocked with
great force against telegraph pole,
short distance beyond, hurliDg Brakeman

injuring his knee cap. The trucks, little
way beyond. were completely torn from
the car and badly wrecked the body of

ner's warehouse. where Pennock's coal
yard formerly was, an iron hanging from
the body of the car caught in frog and
its further progress was stopped; Inc
trucks were soon put to rights by the
wreckers and the body of the broken car
lifted from the track where it had lodged.
The attention of the railroad repairsmen
should be at once gi:cn to the Mulberry
street bridge. Its roadway between the
tracks is in a perilOus condition, the tin
sheeting is torn to pieces, and the planking
insecure. Playing children or careless
pedestrians might fall to death through it,
and had this mornings accident happened
forty feet this side of where it did the
bridge would have been torn up and coal
cars and brakeman have been hurled to the
Pennsylvania track below at awful danger.
A number of other rails on the steep grades
in that neighborhood arc faulty and need
immediate attention.

sweeping Saw Mills and Lumber Piles.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug. 25.-A fire
broke out at midnight in the immense saw
mill of Davis, McMurtrie s. Co.. at Bridge
port, near White Haven. The flames
spread rapidly and the entire structure was
enveloped in a short time. The fire then
communicated with the vast amount of
lumber in the yard and burned fiercely
until 4 o'clock this morning. Nothing
remains of the lumber or the mill. The
loss is estimated at $50, 900.
