Saving Her ChiId's Life.

On Sunday while little girl, the child
of Mr.. Scott Jones, was playing around
the we'll at his home at West Ocear
Beach, she unbuckled the bucket fasten
ing and the bucket fell into the we'll,
dragging the child with it. Mrs. Jones,
who was in. doors, heard the screams OF
the child and without hesitation ran to
its assistance, no other person being On
the place at the time. The we'll is a deer
one, but by the aid of the bucket rope she
descended into it and took the child from
the water. Having to use her hands to
climb to the surface again she held the
child by its clothing in her teeth. Then,
by tho aid of the rope, and by digging her
toes into tho crevices in the wall, she
climbed out in safety with the child. The
latter, beyond its fright and wetting, was
uninjured.

HORSES STOLEN.


Thief Captured aud Allowed TO Run.
Last night thief entered the stable of
Samuel X. Hess, at Ephrata, and stole a
bay horse and an old trotting buggy.
Chief of Police Deicher has description
of the property. A telegram was also re-
ceived from Amos Williamson, resident
Of Lebanon county, who states that he
had heavy bay horse stolen last night.
At a lato hour last night small man
arrived in this city and stopped at the
Fountain Inn. He had with him heavy
bay horse, answering to the description of
the one stolen from MIR. Williamson. This
morning he offered the horse to Yank
Bush. horse dealer, for $50, although
tho animal was worth, at least, $50. and
Bush purchased him. Robert Jamison,
of Philadelphia, saw the transaction. He
said he knew the man to be q thief, and
that he stole horse last week. He told
Bush that the horse was stolen, and the
htter got his money from the man, who
took back the horse. The alleged thief
then offered to sell the animal
to William Rush, at the Merrimac house,
for $40. A number of hOrsemen heard of
the affairs and JamisOn told the man to
his face that he was q thief and had stolen
the horse. Edward Kaufman and several
other men talked of handing him over to
police when he begged piteously to be let
go and told a sOrrOwful tale of a
large family. The sympathy gag took
we'll, and he was allowed togo, much
to the disgust of the police who heard of
the affair soon afterwards. AS soon as
the fellow was let off he got away as far
as he could leaving the horse in the Mer-
rimac stables, where it awaits identifica-
ton.

The McCracken Frauds.
Harrisburg Patriot

Harrisburg Patriot.
The Republican majority in the Senate
yesterday forced through the iniquitous
McCracken congressional apport:onment.
The Stewart amendment, which would
have made eleven Democratic districts out
of the twenty-eight, was defeated. Ag-
new, Emery, Lee and Stewart, Independ.
ent Republicans, voted with the Democrats
in the affirmative. All the other Republi-
can senator's, including Aull, Longenecker
and MacF Farlane, who prOfessed indepen-
dence of the machine when their election
was in danger, voted with the Stalwarts.
On the vote upon the naked bill, Agnew is
recorded in the affirmative and Messrs.
Emery, Lee and Stewart not voting.
If the Republican leaders imagine that
they can afford to go before the people
with the protest of the leading Independ-
ent senators against their action, they will
find in due time that they are presuming
little too much on the forbearance and
Indifference of the people. The lesson of
last fall seems already to have been for
gotten by the Stalwart bosses. They are
quite as independent and reckless as ever
in their political methods. But tho silent
protest of three Independent leaders,
Stewart, Lee and Emery, though it fail
now to give them pause, will stand in
monumental condemnation of the Nc.
Cracken fraud during the political canvass
in which it will surely become an issue. .
Both the legislative and congressional
apportiOnment bills are now to be adjusted
by committees of conference, failing which
there will be no re-apportionment of the
state for either legislative or congressional
purposes. If such failure should Occ ur
and an extra session of the Legislature
should be necessitated, the responsibility
will fall on the Republican party, whose
representatives have insisted upon ap-
portionments SO outrageously unfair az to
be condemned by Republicans like Stew
art, Lee and Emery. The Republi-
can party will, therefore, stand convicted
of the wrong by tho testimony of those
whom it has delighted to honor Let the
Democrats in the committee of confer
ence 60 to the verge of liberality in their
efforts to effect: an adjustment of the diff
ferences between the two Houses, but let
them not surrender what is manifestly just
and fair. Having done their full duty in
the premises their party will be "equal
to either fortune, an extra session or an
issue on the trickery and injustice of the
Republicans.
