"Held Up" for Fifty Cents,

At about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning a
man named .Charles Mason was robbed by
four tramps in the lumber yard back of the
postofice block. The cries of the victim
were heard several blocks, and together
with the pistol shots fired, attracted the at
tention of Jerry Plants and others who
were standing near Bogue & Kilm's restau-
rant at the time. Rushing toward the
lumber yard, Plant and his companions
found man hiding under wagon and ar
rested him. He was lodged in Jail and
yesterday afternoon was given trial be-
fore Justice Hare. He gave his name as
John Nilsson and denied the charge. He
said that he was not in any way guilty of
the robbery; that he was walking in the
neighborhood at the time it occurred and
fearing that his presence there would
arouse suspicion secreted himself beneath
the wagon. The court could not believe
all that he said, and gave him fine of five
dollars and ten days in the county jail.
Fifty cents was all they could find on Ma
son. An interesting fact is that no police
men were in the neighborhood, and citizens
are clamoring for more adequate night
force. One policeman to protect the city
at night is about as reasonable as to blow
against the wind to stop cyclone.

Plunkett's Trial.

A large audience Of fun loving people
gathered in the court room to listen to and
witness the trial of Lord Plunkett on the
charge of clothes stealing, the clothes in
question being suit of Mr.. John Carpen-
ter's, who left them with Plunkett several
weeks ago to be cleaned and the worthy
eradicator of dirt and grease, claims that
they were stolen from his place of business
in the night. The spectators were treated
to a rich feast when Mr.. Plunkett took
the stand, Michael T. O'Connor the famous
Hibernian barrister appeared as counsel
for the defendant and handed his client
over to the court with instructions to tell
nothing he did not know. When Lord Plum
kett was sworn his fine Madagascar face
spread glow of light about the court room
and as he told his innocent story, mirth and
laughter flew about the court room in loud
explosive chunks. A verbatim report of
the testimony would be the most humorous
article of the season. "Nichael T." said:
"Now thin 90 on and till the coort all you
know av the caise."
Plunkett started in about as follows, in
low sweet dulcet tones: well, yer honor,
I took the clothes from Mr.. Carpenter, to
beclained, and shtarted for me labratory wild
the same, meetin' on the way, me friend
Terrance O'Toole. Av coorse ye know Ter
rance; he lives at the foot av the hill be-
yant, and fine gintleman he is. Do you
know him I dom know? Well Torrance
an meser sauntered leisurely to the
"Oh, d-n Terrance and you! can't you
contine yerself to the subject? Tell the
coort about the clothesv' exclaimed Michael
T.
This rather shocked Lord Plunkett and
Strengthening up on his dignity he said
confdentially::"Well gintlemin,' ,'pon me soul,
know nothing of the whereabouts of the
clothes, an if was on me oath l would"
Michael T.-D-n it, you are on your oath
now-Go on!
$50 am; so 1 am; as was sayin', Ter
rance an mesep walked to me labratory and
met me daughther, an honest girl she is. Do
you know me daughther, dom know?
At this point Michael T. became exaspor-
ated again and so the trial proceeded to the
end.
Plnnkett is under 500. bail and the Judge
reserved his decision until today.

The gun club had very interesting

glass balls and Peoria black birds as targets,

WATER WORKS.


A lively contest over the water works
question took place, an ordinance being
presented granting the right to construct
water works to E. H BLY,. After much spar
ring with Mr.. Griffin opposing certain provis-
ions, and Messrs. Moorhead, Malloy, Nc
Garvey and Leo defending them, the ordi-
nance was passed. The ordinance as
passed provides that Mr.. BLY, shall begin the
construction of water works within sixty
days from the date of the contract,
and that they shall be completed on
or before August 1, 1885; that
he shall receive five cents per barrel for
water for city purposes, and seven cents
for general use; that at the end of twenty
years the city shall have the right to pur-
chase the works at their actual, value ac-
cording to appraisement. The city is to
pay $4,000 per year for forty water by
drants, the water for fires to be furnished
free; also pay $1,000 per year
for flushing sewers after the same
are constructed. The reservoir system
is to be adopted and an elevation of at
least l3O feet is guaranteed The council
adjourned until Monday next at 2 O'Clock
to draw up and perfect the contract. OF
course, the mayor has not yet given the or
dinance his approval, but the matter ap.
peared to be amicably settled and the out
look for the early construction of water
works, is several degrees brighter than il
has been for some weeks.

M n have Il idea th,tt this not s.,
md that the name was coined as a sort
of compliment to the longest peninsula
that reaches out from the sandy shores
of New Jersey into the Atlantic. But
those people have never been there;
they do not know of the simooms,
ripples, wavelets, pillows and shifting
hills of sand that sift down the visitors

his uppers, ingulf his lower limbs and
shut down upon him generally in a soul
subduing way that make him wish that
he had never been born. 1t is always
with you; from the moment you get OF
the boat or train until you leave the
Hook it can not be for moment shaken
off. The very gang plank of the steam
boat sends out a crunching, sandy noise
when you step on it in making your
escape.
The redeeming features of this freak
of nature are Capt. Patterson's light
house, which warns people oil from it;
the kindness are Capt. Farrell, which
saves those cast ashore there from dy-
ing from hunger, and last. but not
within many degrees of least, the rail
road or steamboat, which furnishes a

The Russian oil field promises to be
much more extensive than ours, and
the supply more enduring than that de-
rived from the wells in this country.
Russian oil, at the wells, is worth about
IS cents per barrel, and yields under
ordinary refining processes only about
80 per cent. of Illuminating oil. But the
heavy, non-explosive, lubricating oil
that remains after the process of distil-
lation is perhaps the cheapest and best
fuel in the world. The steam cars and
steamships of southern Russia use it ex-
clusiVely, and it is finding its Wy mt
use IL the steam era OF other ouutrIj ;
going and coming from ports III ne
Black sea and the Mediterranean. 1t is
cheaper than coal, it does not occupy
one-ffth of the room, and will soon be
esteemed necessity for steamers max
ing long voyages, which are obliged to
carry SO much coal they have little room
for other freight.

Protest of Paris Vino Merchants.

The wine merchants of Paris held
meeting the other day to petition the
municipal council for the suppression of
the municipal laboratory, which they de-
clare is running their business. NJ. Cir
ard, the chemical analyst and manager
of the laboratory, has Just published IN
The Soir letter in which he shows that
what the WINE merchants really claim Is
a sort of impunity to ad 1lterate their
wine, and to defraud the state and the
city of Paris of their dues.
He says: What the wine merchants
want is permission to sell to the con-
sumner water at the same price as WINE
The municipal laboratory draws samples
of wine from the casks as they enter
Paris, and also samples from the same
barrels after they are placed in the
stores of the wine merchants. The re-
suit arrived at by the laboratory Is. that
the wine is mixed with water in large
proportions. by adding water four
casks of wine are turned into five, and
the laboratory experts have calculated
that more than 5000 wine merchants
practice this kind of fraud. Moreover,
the experts have discovered that wine
is clandestinely made in Paris of rails
ms, apples, pears, prunes, etc. Other
wine merchants mix low priced spanish
wines with the produce OF French vine
yards, and sell the mixture as genuine
French wine. In this way the city of
Paris has been defrauded of nearly
800, 900 france during the last few
months, as wine thus manufactured
pays no octroi dues.
There are annually consumed in Paris
5000, 900 hectolitres of wine. The
wine merchants claim the right of re-
placing these millions of hectolitres by
900, 900 hectolitres of water. AS the
duty is Is francs per hectolitre the state
and the city, who divide the octrol
dues, lose :, 900, 900 francs per annum.
Official documents state that the wine
merchants purchase nearly as much
foreign as French wine.

On the farm of Mr. IL. T. Leaf, two
miles west of i'ottstOwn. may be seen
two apple trees that are, we think,
without parallel in tree manipulation.
Some years ago, when the orchard on
the farm was set out, rabbits ''girdled"
the young trees, eating all the bark of
about the stems. In two cases of choice
fruit the father of Mr.. Leaf undertook
to save the trees. The young shoots
which usually spring up from below the
"girdle' were allowed to grow long
enough to reach the sound bark above
the ''girdle' and then inserted under
the bark, after the manner of inoculat-
ing trees, and securely tied. They grew
and nouriShed the main stem of the
tree above and now, after some years,
the trees rest entirely upon their in
serted supports, and are as vigorous as
any in the orchard.
One of these trees has five of these
'1egs," which have now, by growth,
been almost consolidated The other
tree has seven, all entirely distinct as
yet, but growing closer. The old stem
below the insertion is dead and decayed
in The one tree, and in the other it is en-
tirely gone. The trees, therefore, look
as if resting upon five or seven-legged
stool, and all the nourishment the trees,
now in prime bearing order, receive is
through these inserted branches.

1t is a very sad thing to him who loves
the Hebrew langu tge to see how gradu-

to our attention recently, when, on at

mourner was not sufficiently acquainted
with the Hebrew TO repeat the haddish

the accusing voice of conscience by say

age. The study of Greek and Latin

reason alone, the Hebrew should be
