sarila's Fslfy Shows Up With
Robbeslss and Fights
To 4 Numerous Extent However, Nothing
Is Stoler, and all Sse "Rambunc-
tious" Citizens are Still
Among the s9ing.

Our sJrl seems to be getting tough:
On Sstul day night there were four fights.
one of theg, which occurred near the terry
landing, being rather e serions affair. 1t
seems that two workmen at the Union glass
works had q dispute about o week ago,
which at the time they agreed to settle at
some further date. On Saturday night,
both being full OF fighting Hssor and re-
-smberipg thei-' old quarrel, tAey repaired
to- sbe beach, near tie above named psee,
and proceeded to Sight for satisfaction. No
one seems to know'their names, o7 at least
no c7e seems willisg to give them away.
On the same night another .
RATHER MY3-EmoUs AFFAIR
took pace somewhere on Second strset not
far tcen Hanover. Nothing coad be
learned except that Tom Wright and Nose
Craig had become involved in a quarrel, in
which C-aig was pretty well used up.
Anothe, report comeTfrom the extreme
lower end Of town to TIE reflect that ONE
one had Sssn badly cut With a knife during
a free fght.ia the vicinity OF the cooper
shops.
Another ca is reporteirfom Clsrk's i'd
di,lon, in w,sch tour men were concerned,
one of them Being so badlT'used up that he
had TO be carried home.
Such matters 40 the sboTs are hard to g-t
onto. Both PARTIES to the afair are gene--
ally ashamed CT tie occurre3ce, and unles1
someone is badly bnrt they Keep it to them
selves OF amopE their intimats friends.
BUHSJAKS AT woEA
Yesterday morning at about two o'clock
Mr.. John Burkhartr who lives orPenn street,
in the same Building in which he has q
grocery, heard some one in the lower part
of his house. Hshsvipg had some previous
experience with burglars, and suspected
that something wEswrong, went down stairs.
Upon his going iEso the back room, sdjoin-
ing the grocery, whoever W a in the latter
room ran out Of toe back door which had
been opened probably ss a means Of easy
exit, they having. made their entrance
through q back window. They did not
succeed in getting any booty, Mr.. Dorkhart
soaring them away before they go. sairly to
work on the inside oEthe room.
Aboutan hour later some one, probably the
same persons, tried TO- gain an entrance into
Charles Welty's sal,en and residence, on
West Hanover street. Their mode Of work
was as follows: They went to a back win
dow and cut two slaIs out OF the shutters,
thus making an opening
THROUGH WHICH A HASp WAS INSERTED
and the shutter lock unfastened. After this
Was done they pried the window up with q
cbisel or punch, breaking the SASH lock.
The breaking Of this lock awakened Mrs.
Welty who, with Lss husband, sleeps
in one Of the front roon, up
stairs. Upon being awakened she
waken'd her husband who got up and put
on his trousers. While hs was engaged in
dressing himself, she got his revolver and
went to a back window and looked out, thus
soaring them away, They ran ont onto
the street and down towards Meyers black
smith shop, one taking the middle OF the
street and the other the sidewalk. Mrs.
Welty describes them as both being rather
Of small stature and wearing caps which
were pulled down over their faces so as to
make them unacceptable. This affair
was very bold considering that it was al.
most daylight when they were discovered.
About ten minutes later another citizen,
on the same street yap two men
ANSWERING THE SAME DESCRIPTION
off OF his front steps. The tools with which
the work was done we're recognized by 81
Fl. Heaton as belonging to him, they hsv-
ing been stolen OFT of his shop during the
same night at q late hour.
Sunday night some one by some means
unbolted the house door of Jim DEFAULTS
house on Walnut street, and went up stairs
and proceeded TO lock Mr.. Devault AID his
wife in their bedroom by putting a prop in
front of the door. After tho door was Sc
curely fastened, they then commenced ran
sacking the house, but were scared away by
the proprietors' creams before they found
anything Of value.
The few words in Sundays paper eon
corning the stealing OF ilowere from graves
has brought quite a number Of expressions
from people who have been injured in the
same way. 1t is
CoNTEMPTIBLE PIECE or RAsCAL.ATY,
and should be punished. The REGISTER
will published the names Of some Of the
people who have been engaged in such
thieving if it is not stopped.
Last night there was q free show includ-
ing a Punch and Judy performance on thu
corner at Exley's mill.
There are fortylfve names on the roll Of
the Saturday night Young Mems prayer
meeting held at the NJ. T.. church, and still
increasing with every meeting. This is a
splendid way for young men TO spend their
Saturday nights and we will guarantee that
no swelling Of the head will enSne next
morning.
The farmers west OF town are still haafJ,g
feed and -four from the railroad
J. A. Gray, who has been sick for the
past Two weeks il somewhat better.
