LANCASTER, Pa, August 81 THE un-
precedented drouth in this county has
resulted in the failure of two-thirds of
the tobacco crop, entailing loss in the
county of over million dollars. In
neighboring counties. where the same
atmospheric conditions existed, the loss
will be as much more. Some of the
early planted tobacco escaped the dry
spell and matured we'll, but this has al
ready been purchased by New York
buyers, most of it while still growing in
the fields. Larger prices have ruled
this year than have ever before been
paid. 1t is believed that the remainder
of the crop will only be available for
filters.

Struggle with Burglars.

AT an early hour Tuesday morning
the residences Of II. A. Griswold and
j.. @. Hopson, In Whitehall, were enter
ed by burglars, who obtained about $3,
600 worth of booty, including two
gold watches belonging to DIR. e. b.
DAILY of New York, a relative of Mr..
Hopson. After the discovery OF the
burglary inquiries were made in the vii
lage of two suspicious. looking men who
had been seen lurking around for two or
three days. Mr.. Grlswod learned that
two men answering their description
had purchased tickets at Comstock's
Landing, the first station on the Della
ware and Hudson Railroad south of
Whitehall 1t was first intended to tele-
graph here, and have the men intercept
having passed here despatch was sent
to Deputy Sheriff Post at Mechanics
vile, who, accompanied by United
District Attorney John G. Green, Ticket
Agent George II. Marvin, and j. X.
Farnam entered the train on its arrival
at Mechanicsville, and in the smoking
srfound two men fully answering the
description, and the tickets exhibited by
them showed that they had been pur-
chased at Comstock's Landing. Post
locked the rear door of the car, and,
stepping up to one of the men, said:
Here they are. Now we have them.'
He atte e.npted to seize one of the men,
but the moment Post laid his hands on
him the other pulled out a revolver and
opened fire. One shot struck Post on
the left side of the neck, passing clear
through, and another slightly wounded
him on the breast. Farnam who went
to POSTS assistance, received slight
wound near the mouth and another
near the shoulder blade. Post, after
being wounded, struck the man he had
seized, and in doing so broke two fingers.
The burglars then attempted an exit by
the rear door of the car, but they found
it locked. They then ran out through
the front door, and with drawn revol-
vers drove the passengers ahead of them.
They ran down the track, followed by
an excited crowd. The larger of the
two criminals, who gave the name of
Murray, was the first caught, and the
crowd handled him in savage manner.
When he was carried back to Mechan-
icsville Station he was covered with
blood, and one of his eyes bore the APP
pearance of having been kicked half out
of his head. The other burglar, who
gave the name of Proctor, continued his
flight for about half mile. While he
was holding his pursuers at bay by flour
ishing revolver, Mr.. Samuel Porter of
Mechanicsville, who had gone home and
got his shotgun appeared and lodged
charge of buckshot in the burglars back,
compelling him TO surrender. The
property they stole in Whitehall was all
recovered. The plunder stolen from the
Whitehall residences was found in the
car where the men were seated. - Troy

The Presidents Condition.

The condition of tn e President through
the past week has been such as to inspire
more hope OF his recovery though the
foundation for such hope has been slight
and q bulletin showing another relapse
would not have taken people by surprise.
1t is acknowledged by bis physicians
that his symptoms are not satisfactory,
though they do not yet give him up.
An attempt will be made in day or
two to remove him to Long Branch
The latest dispatch was on Sunday
evening which said the condition of the
President shows no material change.
WHEN the tobacco tax was reduced
year ago from twenty-four to sixteen
cents pound, the measure was believ-
ed to be suicidal one, and that it would
require heavy taxing of other products
to compensate for the loss. Owing, how
ever, to the larger consumption of the
article, the revenue from this source the
past year has been much larger than
with the higher tax.
THE FEELINGS of the citizens of Brad
ford on Monday night would be difficult
to comprehend by those who have nev-
er been placed in similar circumstances.
During the whole night river of oil
from an overfowing tank ran through
the heart of the city, liable to be set on
fire at any moment by careless or de-
signing persons. Aside from the dan
ger to property, the lives of the citizens
were in constant peril, and at this dis
tance it appears that there must have
been gross carelessness on the part of
some one to allow such state Of things
to have existed even for short time.

ture aud mechanism. The plasieriDg

lier, containing IA lights, is superb and
of magnificent character. The entire

The interior of the church presents a
fine appearance, and is considered the
most handsome in Town.
Too much praise and commentator
cannot be accorded to the worthy and
energetic Pastor, Rev. j. z. Bowman,
for his untiring efforts in the magnih-
Gent Improvement of the Church editce.
A little over year since he commenced
this work, with zeal and earnestness
commensurate with his undertaking,
with small amount of funds on hand,
and has now fnishsd bis work, at a cost
of nearly $500, and every dollar of it
paid. This is certainly highly commend.
able, and the Rev. gentleman, who stood
at the helm, through storms and placid
waters, shapeing the financial and plan
ming departments, deserves the highest
encomiums in the completion OF this
magnificent work.
