Between two aud three O'Clock this
moruiug, as VIM, I. Mullen, watchman
ut the Lancaster watch factory WAS max
ing his usual round Of the building and
while ascending short flight Of steps lead
iuE from the basement to tho engine aud
boiler rooms, hC noticed that gas lot
usually kept burning uear tho gage of the
ongiuc was uut This aroused bis suspic
ions that something was wrong, aud hC
drew his revolver aud advanced by the
dim light thrown by the fire of the boilers
ho saw the figure of "A man ia the boiler
room. The watChman called to tho in
tIudcr to halt aud receiving no reply fired
az him The intruder uttered cry Of
pam aud said "My God, rm hit !" At tho
same instant tho wa.ohmol roswell a
violent blow on the temple from club IN
the hands Of another burglar, ard wa
knocked down the steps into the base
meut, aud for time rendered uncons cious
When he recovered and made an examina
ttOr Of tho PROMISES tho burglars had tlod,
making their exit from the door at the
east end Of the boiler house.
There was stream ol blood from the
point at which the mau WAS standing Hheu
seon by the watchmlu, to the door by
which he lett tho building, but no blood
stains wore seen outsido-for which cir
cumstance 1t is supposed the burglar wa,
wounded ia the hand, aud took means u
prevent the blood from flowing after ht
lett the building. The tracks of car.
riago that had been driven up to the stable
in tho rear of the factory aud turned
shortly around, were distinctly visible
this morning, aud from this circumstance
Il is supposed the burglars visited the
factory IN a carriage with the view of car
rying un large number of finished watch
movements which had been purchased 10y
New York house aud which woro to
have becu shipped to day. 1t is thought
the burglars axe persons who were aware
OF this tact, aud acquainted with tho premi
scs. But oven II they hal ktllei or over
powered the watChmau, they would have
had hard work 20 secure the watches, u,
they were locked up in burglar proof safes
Thus far there Is no clue to the burg lars.

High Water Ia New England,

The heavy rain storms and warm
weather since Tuesday have swelled the
streams all over New England, and the
situation is more critical than it was week
or more ago, when everybody was thor.
oughly frightened. From Bangor, Calais
and other points in Maine, specials are oom

At Bangor tho water is nine feet over the
dam at the water works and Is still rising.
Two mills were swept away at Orono, a
few miles distant. Part of the dam has
been destroyed AMI tremendous number
Of logs have gone. Railroad trains are
forbidden to cross the bridge at Still
water, and bridges arc everywhere reported
as having gone or as being very shaky
The Union river at Ellsworth Is a raging
torrent, and altogether the situation Is
very critical.

THE one thing certain about the Penn
sylyania delegat ion to the Republican
state convention in Chicago is that none
Of its members is for Wharton Barker's
candidate, Senator Ben Harrison. In
fact, Mr.. Barker's influence seems to
have entirely disappeared from bis party.
In the state convention of the " of
year 1888 he was a conspicuous figure
and his idea of surplus distribution was
put into the platform, albeit Mr. Quay
and his Stalwart coadjutOrs admitted
that it was only inserted to reconcile
the "cranks and moDnshinerJ {"
This year it 10 conspicuous only for the
utter absence Of il, Mr.. Barker thus
explains it
The resolution concerning the use OF
the national surplus, pending the payment
of the national debt, does not reappear,
for the reason, we presume, that the sub
ject is not yet under discussion. That the
support OF the policy outlined last year is
much ereater, now, among the Republi.
caus ot pennsylvania. thad IL was then
Is entirely certain while it is absurd TO
presume that the friends Of Mr.. Blaine,
making large majority OF the convention,
would think i'll OF a measure which he has
SO earnestly and conspicuously advanced
Thisstatement is hardly ingenious for
the subject is at least under discussion
as much now as it was year ago. That
the convention thought i'll of the meas
ure (which Blaine had 80 earnestly and
conspicuously advocated is very mani
fest from the utter lack of any mention
of it whatever and this is only another
proof that the convention was not sin
cerely for Blaine. BY the way, did the
