NIPPED THE BUD.
Professional Burglars Attempt
burglary at New Castle and
are Promptly Gagged.

Sometime on Sunday afternoon two
men and boy, the latter only about
II or Is years ofage, were seen walking
about in one OF the large factories at
New Castle, by passers by. Knowing
them TO he strangers, an alarm was
quickly given and efforts made to cap
ture the burglars, but the men ucceed-
ed in getting ont OF the building and
for time made their escape.
The hoy was not so lHcky, and he was
nablHd by n citizen, who thought he
had an easy prisoner. He was mistaken,
however, as the boy showed true grit
and was not to be taken without Strug
gle. He did not appear to be bit scared
and was devising some means of escape
while he was walking along. Without
warning, the prisoner drew a large knife
and attempted to cut his captor, bat the
knife was soon wrenched from him and
he was soon placed in Sheriff Martin 5
hands
In the meantime a constable in COM
pany with several citizens started III
pursuit of the two men, whom they
caught n short distance from the town,
and brought them hand-cutfed to the
jail. Upon being searched complete
set of burglar tools was found upon
them and II is supposed that they i'll
tended to locate in New Castle for
time. They hailed from Philadelphia,
and their capture was u timely one.

THE NOMINEES.
Mr.. Moody, who received the Repnb-
lican nomination for Assessor and Col
lector in the Northern District, although
quite young has spent eight years in
the Office as clerk under Collector
Provost. In this position he has dis
played great ahility,ana clearly demon
strated hsrntire fitness to assume the
duties of chief of the department. There
is no doubt, that if he is elected, he will
make an able and efficient officer.
Dennis Kane, the Democrats nomi-
nee for the Southern District, has given
general satisfaction during the time he
has held the Office and no doubt will
continue to do 50 in the future.
Robert II. Taylor, who received the
Democratic nomination for Council in
the Second ward, was an efficient and
useful member during the time he held
the position.
The Republican nominee in the
Seventh ward, Mr.. Speakman, is the
general agent of the Singer Sewing Ma
chine Company in this city, and in the
event of his election will no doubt prove
IA good member.
James Lynn, the Republican candi-
date from the Ninth ward, for Council,
