NEwCoMERSTOwN, o., April 23.-Chares
A. Basset the famous one armed foot racer
of this place, was to-day arrested on
charge of robbing the United States express
Cilice here about five weeks ago. The office,
which is located in the Wheeling and Lake
Erie station, was broken open and guam

done up in a paper oox was stolen, but the
empty box was left The special agent OF
the company and Detective Gillis called on
the agent, Mr.. A. b. Thompson, at this
place shortly after the robbery, and asked
10 see the paper box in which the watches
and iewelry had been expressed, and on
examining the box they found that it had
been torn open by the teeth OF some party,
as the marks were

on the sides of the box. The fact that the
thief had torn the box open with his teeth
seemed 10 give evidence that he was one
armed man, and tine special agent and the
detective at once got into the confidence Of
young BasSett, who is a one.armed man,
and the agent gave him an appointment as
a sort Of detective in certain cases, thus be-
coming more intimate with Bassett. FL

package, it is said they exactly correspond

Bassett was arrested. Basset was taken to
the county seat in custody OF the Sheriff,
who brought him from Columbus. 1t will
he remembered that he was under indict-
ment for robbing the Panhandle Express
office here of $500 TWO years ago, but after
three trials the indictment was nOllied.

1t is peculiarly unfortunate that the
iron manufacturers should be compelled
to make reductions in the wages of
their men at this time. 1t is plainly
necessary, however, 10 most instances,
and in many it will only be by accept

workmen can be kept busy. In spite
of all that can be done some of the
mills will shut down and many men

General Daniel Z. Sickles is an in-

known to all the habitues of the Aca-

not because he is an important per-

but rather from the manner of his en-

Senator Arnholt and Upperman of
Allegheny county have resigned their
seats. They are tired of the dictation
of Cooper, and are disgusted with the
preference shown John Stewart over
those who have faithfully supported the
republican party. The Patriot gives
the following reasons for their resigna-
ton
When on Friday the Allegheny sen
ators became incensed at the result of
the vote on the appropriation bill, it
was not so much because the pay was
thereby put in jeopardy as the causes
which brought it about. Cooper and
Stewart and Grady aud other senators
were absent and why 2 Both the sena-
tors who sent in their designations be
lieved that Cooper was in Washington
by appointment with Stewart dividing
the future honors and emoluments of
the party among themselves while the
compensation they believed due them
was endangered by their neglect. 1t has
been noticed for some time that Cooper
has been lavish with his favors to
Stewart. When it was made public
that certain reciprocal alliances had
been made between these gentlemen
pending the recent campaign by which
the late independent was to profit at
the expense of Senator Cameron, there
was considerable restiveness. 1t is
now known that this feeling of dissatis-
faction has not subsided. The resig-
nation of these senators is one OF the
fruits of it, and if they are withdrawn
it will only be that a more effective
medium of bringing these party trades
to task may be adopted,

The Annihilation of an Army.

A decided sensation has been created
in England by the announcement of
the terrible events which have Just
taken place in the land of the Pharaohs.
Seldom has the public mind been 30
disturbed, and the question upon every
lip is twill the wave of revolt which
has spread from the slopes of El Obeid
to Coral Island, Suakim, flow into the
Delta of the Nile 1t is understood that
the English government is in a meas

has so suddenly and terribly arisen.
The people are already clamoring that
General Hicks must be avenged, and a
cabinet council has been held, at which
the crisis was considered. 1t is repre-
sented that the action before Ell Obeid
was only equalled in sanguinary horror
by the massacre of the English expedi-
ton to Cabul in 1943. The army of
General Hicks was cut down like grass
before the sickle, and the wounded
were left to die upon the sands. The
history of General Hicks movement
which has ended so disastrously, can be
briefly told. Lord Mark Kerr speaks of
him, as no ambitious youth who had
hopes to gain reuown by reckless dar-

formidable, Then Hicks Pacha began
a march, compared with which Gener-

campaign as penance of their revolt.
Their sole military art was forming
squares, against which El Mahdi's
horsemen rode fearlessly. They OPP
posed no enthusiasm TO the reckless
ardor of the Mosiems fighting for their
Prophet. Disease, hardship and fa
mine had decimated their ranks, and
cut off from their base of operations,
left without food and water, they were
reduced to such straits that the heart
even of the dauntless traveller

November Murders.

Many readers of daily newspapers
have doubtless had their attention call.
ed to the unusually large number OF
reports Of murders that of late have ap-
pearod. The number reported within
the last ten days has been most unpleas-
antly surprising There can be no
doubt that events run in epochs and
that the present month has covered an
epoch of murders. ..
The month opened with the murder
of Young girl Fora Burns out in In.
diana. Then followed numerous other
crimes of the same sort in New York
and Philadelphia, with all of which the
public were more or less familiar at the
time of their commission. 1t has not
been more than ten days since a Grip
pie was wantonly shot by western
rough up in Hazleton in this state.
The Brookville murder over in Long
Island where two helpless women were
straugled in d COW stable is still fresh
in the minds of most readers. The
most horrible deed in the list was com
mitted on Sunday morning at Laoonia.
New Hampshire, where one man,
woman and an infant were killed by a
fiend named Samon. The horrible
details are still being published. The
murderers OF Thomas Barrows, of Kit
terry, Maine, have just confessed and
they prove to be his wife and son-in-
law. A murder similar TO the celebra-
ted Rose Amber case has just been
discovered near Roseland, New Jersey.
The dead hody of young girl was
found in the bushes terribly cut and
mangled. Harrisburg added another
to the long list on Saturday night. In
the papers of Monday and Tuesday
alone there appeared no less than
twelve separate and distinct accounts
of murders just committed, murder
trials and the discovery of murders.
This is startling record and one
seldom equalled in this country. 1t
furnishes striking commentary on our
boasted civilization. This food of muir
ders furnishes evidence of the degraded
state of some classes of society and
furnishes food for serious contempla-
ton to philosophers, ,philanthropists and
religionists.

Advent Sunday.

Or time of Advent Nat. the ap-
proach, or coming), a term applied,
by the Christian Church, to certain
weeks before Christmas. In the Greek
Church, the time of Advent comprises
fo rty days but in the Romish Church,
and those Protestant Churches in which
Advent is observed, only four weeks.
The origin of this festival, as church
ordinance, is not clear. The first no.
tice of Advent, as an appointment of
the Chuch, is found in the Synod of
Lerda 1924 A. D.), at which marriages
were interdicted from the beginning of
Advent until Christmas. The four
Sundays of Advent, as observed in the
Romish Church and the Church of Eng
land, were probably introduced into the
calendar by Gregory the Great 1t was
common from an early period to speak
of the.coming of Christ as .fourtold !:
"his first coming in the flesh )" his com.
ing at the hour of death to receive his
followers according to the expressions
used by St. john; his coming at the
fall of Jerusalem Matt, XIV. 30) ;
and at the day of judgment. Accord,
ing to this fourfold view of Advent, the
"gospels" were chosen for the four
Sundays, as was settled in the Western
Church by the HenailGrium of Charlie.
magne, The festival of Advent is in
tended to accord in spirit with the OBJ
ject celebrated. AS mankind were once
called upon to prepare themselves for
the personal coming of Christ, so ac-
cording to the idea that the ecclesias.
tical year should represent the life oi
the founder of the Church, Christians
are exhorted, during this festival, to
look tor a spiritual advent of Christ
The time of the year when the short
ening days are fastening toward the
solstice-which almost comedies with
the festival of the Nativity-is though,
to harmonise with the strain of senti
ment proper during Advent. In oppo,
sition, possibly, to heather festivals
observed by ancient Romans and Ger
mans, which took place at the SAME
season, the Catholic Church ordained
that the four weeks of Advent should
be kept as time of penitence accord
ing to the words of Christ "Repent
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand,
During these weeks, therefore, public
amusements, marriage festivities, anC
dancing were prohibited feasts wer'
appointed, and sombre garments wer'
used in religious ceremonies, tn,
Protestant Church in Germany has alsc
