The game at Quickstep Park yesterday

the Clevelands sized Pyle, aud such
beautiful long hits have never
been witnessed on field before The home
team PLAYED good game, but when there is
such terrific batting there is bound to be
errors. The fielding of the Clevelands was
superb and awoke the applause of the audi

Away to Sea in Their Graft.
GLOUCESTER, MASS, Oct. 5.-Quite a SEN
sation has been caused here to-day by extern
siVe robberies committed by men supposed
to be pirates. DIR. Conant and his wife were
asleep at their home this morning early,
when a tail man entered their chamber.
Mrs. Conant was partly awakened when the
man clutched her throat, placing one hand
kerchief to her nose and another to her hus-
bands. Both were unconscious in moment
from the effects of ether. When they woke
up jewelry and silverware to the value of
$1,000 was gone.
Among the articles taken were several
valuable pieces of silver-plate, which have
been in the Conant family four of five gen.
erations. A number of watches were also
missing. DIR. Quinby's house and the office
of Parmenter, Rice & Co. were next visited,
and the safe of the latter firm drilled omen
and robbed. just before daylight boy de-
livering milk saw tall man with silk hat
jump fence and run toward the Cove, and
shortly after sloop yacht put out of a se-
cluded nook into the Cove. There were
four men on board.
The craft was carrying a small sail when
1t started. Before the mouth of the harhor
was reached every stitch of canvas had been
raised, and as she went spinning out to sea
1t looked as though she would capsize. No
name could be made out on the strange
crafts stern by the strongest glass.

sembiy at st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5.-The Trades and Labor
Federation continued Its session to-day.
The committee on declaration of principles
made a report, which was adopted. Its
salient points are that those who labor and
create wealth are the most important part
Of society, hence they should enjoy the full
benefit Of thor industry; that just and
equitable distribution of the fruits of labor
is not possible under the present system of
society; that the present tendency toward
the formation of corporations is
dangerous to the peoples liberty and that
the emancipation of the working people
must be achieved by themselves. The re-
port demands that the railroad land Er0nta
forfeited shall be reclaimed by the govern
ment; that legal days shall be legal holidays
and that all laborers have half holiday on
Saturdays; that equal pay shall be given for
equal work TO both sexes and that the con >
viet contract system shall be abolished; that
compulsory education shall be enforced and
that the State furnish books and other
school material free; that a law be passed
making eight hours legal days work,
and that penalties be fixed for it's
violation; that the employment of
children under IA years of age in factories
and mines be prohibited; that the Commis-
sioners of Labor of this State shall belong
to some labor organization; that railroads
and telegraphs shall become the property of
the State; that all acts known as "conspir-
acy" acts, as applied to labor organizations,
shall be repealed, that purely national cir
culating medium shall be issued directly to
the people; that an employers liability act,
holding corporations liable for injuries re-
ceived by persons while In their employ,
shall be passed, and that all trades and
labor unions shall be incorporated by the
Legislature, the same as other Incorporated
bodies.

Two Unsclentific Bruisers Exchange Ter

PITTsaURa, Oct. 5.-Early this morning
Frank Geisler and James Lafferty, two mill
workers fought a desperate 12 round prize
fight with bare knuckles in a field a few
miles beyond the city limits. The men
fought three hard rounds few days ago to
settle an old grudge, but were separated be-
fore either were satisfied. They left their
homes accompanied by a small number OF
sympathizers. The Mayor was noti6el and

Our Shoe stock was never

than now. If you want in

what we know about shoes
with the greatest pleasure and
you won't get tripped up on
what we tell you. Then when
you're ready to buy you will
know all you need to know
about the make and the chances
with the various goods before
you. Nothing like choosing
intelligently. We don't want
any customer in the dark.

If you are in search of a
cheap shoe, good in quality, but
low in price, we can show you
all styles of ladies' American
Kid Shoes from $3.50 up A
large lot of this variety are
now displayed which we are
selling at bargains at $1.50, the
regular prices of which are
So so and $500. AS we have
only a limited number of these
bargain shoes an early selection
is advised.
GEO. D. CLELAND.
In Mems Shoes much can
be said. The present genteel
style is the wide toe, OF which
we're selling large numbers, is
particularly neat. Strange that
it should be so hard to get the
young men out of the habit of
wearing the narrow toed shoes
when they are virtually out OF
style. Bannister's shoes are
all made on the wide toe last.
They are the finest ready-made
shoe in the market and give
entire satisfaction. Stacy,
Adams & Co.'s shoes are also
much sought after on account
of their cheapness combined
with their really good quality.

centre notes.

The most important occasion of the past
week was the Conner wedding which we
will mention first.
On Thursday morning February sth, 1885,
about fifty of the relatives and friends OF
prospective parties assembled at the resi-
dence of Mr. George Conner to witness the
marriage of his eldest daughter Matte, to
Mr.. William Kirkendall of Nescopeck.
Promptly at II o'clock the bridal party APP
peared and were ushered by Messrs. Scott,
Laubach and c. e, Greasy into the parlors
where the ceremony was performed by Rev.
G. X. Garfield of Orangeville. Miss Liz
zie Conner, sister of the bride, and Miss
Lizzie Greasy of Nescopeck were brides
maids, and the groomsmen were Messrs.
w. L. White and J. A. Greasy. A sump-
tuous repast was served at half past twelve
o'clock, after which the guests, with tim
cups, clothespins, bells, etc., gave the
newly married pair comcal serenade.
All passed off pleasantly. The guests
were all acquainted and the party seemed
like family gathering, which indeed 1t
was to very great extent. Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Conner, having returned from
their wedding trip, were present to see the
sister married The bridal party of six,
took the evening train at Nescopeck for
wilkesbarre. Mr.. Charles Conner took
them to the depot in large sled with four
INLAND, twelve Of the young people going
with them. This proved pleasant fea-
ture OF the occasion for the young folks,
who report jolly time. The assisting
parties returned from Wilkesbarre on Fri
day evening, and the bride and groom
went on to Philadelphia, Trenton and New
York On their return they Will take
possession of the Hiram Kirkendall farm
near Nescopeck.
Their many friends wish them long,
pleasant and successful life.
Last Friday evening grand time was
had at Esq. Hidlay's. 1t appears that the
fun-loving young folks had selected MIR.
Hidlay's as the place for this weeks sport,
and at an early hour a large party had
gathered and as soon as the rooms were
nut in order, the programme opened with
a ssuuare dance" and not until the roos-
ters began to crow for daylight, did the
music stop. While your reporter was not
present, he has learned that the party was
considered p grand success by all who
took part.
About thirty of our people gave Mr. J.
S. Hagenbuch a pleasant little surprise
party on Monday evening. Although they
dropped in without notice, they found Mr..
II. ready to give them social and jolly
time, and make them welcome and at
home in his house. They "tripped the
light fantastic" till all were satisfied that
the time for fun had closed when they ,eft

Tax Sales.

The state Senate last Friday passed
the act to permit the purchasers of
bonds at treasurers' sale for taxes to
issue writs of estrepement against own
ers and others to prevent waste pend
ing the right of redemption. This
measure was presented by Senator Bid
dis, of Pike, January 10, and covers an
abuse practiced in certain counties of
the state, not generally understood.
The vote on final passage was 27 to 7,
a few senators refraining from vo-
ting
Treasurers sales in counties like
Clarion, Clearfeld, Clinton, Crawford,
Pike and others have degenerated, ac-
cording to the arguments adduced ia
voring the measure, into mere brokers'
courts where the leading shark captur-
ed the prize. A gentleman acquainted
with the subject says that land shark,
in the accepted term, is man who has
held county Office and in the conduct
of its affairs becomes familiar with the
property of the county. He purchases
tor the value of the land
owned by people who live in other
parts of the state, mostly parties who
have inherited the property and know
little if anything about their posses
sions.
The bill sets forth that the purchaser
or purchasers of lands, sold by the
treasurers of the several counties of the
state for taxes, may at any time before
the same shall have been redeemed ac
cording to law have writ or writs OF
estrepement against the owner or own
ers of the lands or other persons who
may be committing waste upon saic
lands until so redeemed.
Another provision is that upon peti
ton to the court of common pleas OF
the proper county or a judge thereof
in vacation setting forth the date OF
the treasurer's sale, and describing the
lands as described in the treasurer
deed therefor, and the manner in which
waste is being committed, together
with the name or names of the person
or persons committing it, which petl
ton shall be verified by affidavit, anc
presentation and filing Herewith sucl
security as is now required by law il
cases of writs of estrepement, the cour
or Judge in vacation shall endorse upol
the petition an order for the writ AM
the prothonotary shall issue the sam
to have the same effect as ii issued il
an action of ejectment; and the cour
or Judge in vacation shall have powe
to hear the parties in a summary man
ner and dissolve the writ or make sue
further order as may seem just an,
right provided, however, that securit
shall not be required from the applican
for the writ unless the court or judg
ordering the same shall deem it neces
sary
Now that the bill has passed 1t
said that a crying evil from certai
counties of the state will receive
wholesome check.

DELUGE IN THE WEST,

Great damage has been done and in
tense suffering caused by the high
water in many estern cities and towns.
AT Cincinnati on Monday the depot of
of the Cincinnati Southern railroad was
undermined by the bursting of large
sewer, but so far as can be learned no
lives were lost. The gas and water
supplies were cut off from that city, and
skiffs are as thick in the streets as draws
and wagons usually are. A despatch
from Lawrenceburg, Indiana, dated Feb.
18th, says: This town of 5000 people
has two feet of water on its highest part
and the suffering is great and the des.
titution utter and almost indescribable.
No coal can be gotten at, and there are
no stoves to burn it in. Relief is being
constantly sent there from Cincinnati.
All the small villages along the Ohio
are in much the same situation, but par
ticulars are not now obtainable. There
are no steamboats, plying now, except
some small ones TO local points
Another dispatch Of the same date
from New Albany, Indiana says: The
river rose eighteen inches last night, and
is still rising. All the houses and fac.
tories along the river front are aband.
oned. The water got into the glass
works furnaces last night, and the fires
are all out. They will lose at least $1OO.
900. About 5000 persons are thrown
out of employment. From 800 to SOC
families had to move, ard all available
room on the high ground is filed. The
railroad track between here and Jeffer
sonville is abandoned, the ferryboats
making only occasional trips to the
Kentucky side of the river.
In Newport, Kentucky, two hundred
and sixty acres are covered with water
1000 houses inundated, and 250O fami
lies homeless. Many other towns are
in the same condition. The loss Of
property can hardly be estimated.

The Cost of Sugar and Flour.

During the debate in the Senate last
week on the tariff, the question of the
reduction of the tax on sugar being
under immediate consideration, Mr..
FRYE of Maine introduced a curious
table to show that the sugar Of FAM
lily costs more than its bread. The
best place in the world, he said, to find
out the facts about the matter is fac
tory boarding house, for there the exact
cost of everything in the way of ex-
penditures is carefully kept. "Furth-
ermore," says Mr.. FRYE, with well-jus-
tilted confidence, "the factory board
ing house keeper does not waste any
sugar.
He had sent down to Maine, and OBJ
tanned the following statistics as to the
cost of the sugar and the bread in eight
factory boarding houses:

1t will be seen that all of these board
ing house keepers except two report
that their sugar and molasses cost them
more than their flour. And very prob
ably it would be found by families, if
they would keep an exact account of
their expenditures, that the sugar bill
was at least as large as that for flour.
According TO Mr.. MORGAN, of Ala,
bama, who advocated the reduction of
the tariff, we raise in round numbers
fifty millions of dollars from sugar
duties. That is a dollar head for the
whole population, including vast
number of savages and semi-savages
who get no sugar at all. That tax he
thought was too much, considering that
sugar has become an article of neces
sity. And so it does seem to be. - "

Some time ago a large religious
meeting was held in Salem township,
Luzerne county, and among the audi
cnce was William II. Cooper, who be-
came so deeply affected that he has
sinceIgone out o.. .hislmind, and become
so violent that his friends resolved to
remove him to a lunatic asylum at
once. On Thursday of last week he set
fire to an outbuilding on his premises
and at night he drove his family from
the house and built o bonfire on the
front door steps. The neighbors en-
tered complaint, and he was brought
to the County Jail, where he was ex-
amined by a medical commission, who
decided that the man was mentally de-
ranged and should be sent to an asy-
lam. He was taken to the Danville
Insane Asylum on Monday.

The daily papers reported Mr.. Bry-
son incorrectly in saying that he voted
in committee against the bill prohibiting
free passes. We are informed that he
was attending another committee, and
was not present when the vote was Ia
ken. Mr. Vanderslice's reason for vo-
ting against it was that the bill in
cludes only members of the Legislature
and Judges, leaving members OF Con-
gress, mayor, city councilmen etc, at
liberty to ride on passes. He favors a
bill that will treat everybody alike.
