The Parker Ph9nir of last weel
said: The past week two more petty
robberies have taken place in this
town on the flat. The shoe store o.
w. l.. Taylor and the Stationery
store of T. J. Blair's were broken in
to and few articles pIrloined. The
boy thieves entered the shoe store
through q window in rear of the
building and retired by unbolting the
door. Only few things were taken
AT the stationery store the boys were
a little more bold and smashed large
pane of glass in the front door. by
which opening they entered. Only
few small articles were taken. Bott
money drawers were rihed but the
youths failed to secure even a nickle
Suspicion rests upon a party of three
BOYS, one former resident of this
| town, and two cronies. Should they
be seen by the officers they will bt
arrested on sight.
A correspondent, signing himself
"Observer" writes as follows to the
Mercer Dispatch of the llth inst.
"It is generally asserted and believed
that the Catholic Church of st. Au
gustine, Fla, is the oldest church edi
Gce in America. If any reliance is tc
be placed in Inscriptions, this is g
mistake. On the front of a brick
church in New Castle. ia placed this
inscription: B. C. 1s4S.' From this
it would appear that New Castle is
entitled to the honor usually accorded
to ST. Augustine"
There are no licensed bars in Kit
tanning and the thirsty denizens Of
that burg have invented a great
scheme to secure liquid refreshments
A club has been formed and portion
of a house leased. The entrance is
on the 6rst floor and beyond that
none but very select few are permit
ted to 60. The searcher for phlegn
cutter enters the room down stairs
and on @ table finds number of small
cards. He takes one of these an6
writes on it zone beer" or zone whis-
ky" as he may desire, and putting il
on the shelf of an elevator, accompa-
MED by the requisite amount of cash,
rings bell Instantly the shelf dis
appears up the elevator and in mo
ment comes down with the desired
drink which the customer swallows
and goes out. He sees no person
during the operation and cannot
swear who conducted the upper end
of the transaction and all is lovely
The fellow who invented this plan
has q great head and will look
through the bars of the county Jail il
be lives long enough.
Mr.. John Brackin, and the firm Of
Brackin & Co., merchant tailors
Greenville, haye made an assignment
tor the benefit of their creditors. Th'
Progress says their property will
much more than coyer their indebted
ness. Mr. Brackin is largely inter
ested in undeveloped oil territory in
Kentucky upon which he failed tt
realize in time to meet obligations
due. Judgments were fled at Merce
on Saturday against them Tor Sl2,'

Some fellow who recently operated
in Lawrence county seems to have
great idea of q practical joke. ii
represented himself as horse buye
and contracted for horses to be deliv
cred at Lowellville on certain day
He paid no money, however. HI
engaged cars at Lowellville to shiI
the horses east. and contracted witt
the landlord of the hotel there to fur
nish dinner for the men who brough
horses for him, at his expense. o.
the day appointed the horses wer
taken to the place for delivery, but b.
was not there. Some thirty or fort,
took dinner at somebody's expense
probably the landlord's-and tool
their horses home again. Just hov
the sharper gets recompensed for hi
time and trouble it would be hard t
= see, but perhaps he got paid in fun.
About dozen persons were calle'
before the Burgess of Indiana on Sat
urday last, charged with shooting il
the borough. They had been shoot
t ing sparrows with Flobert rifles an
it cost them three dollars each.
9 The futing machines which are t
> be erected at the Dithridge Glass fac
tory at Beaver Falls and which wer
invented by Mr.. Harry Woods of tina
establishment, are said to be wor
der in their way. None of the kin
is known to be made except in GEL
, many, and this is greatly inferior t.
the New Brighton invention inasmucf
t as the last mentioned machine will
. do the requirep work in one half tn
: time. 1t is expected that barrel &
? money will be made by Mr.. Wood
and the Dlthridge Bros. who contro
the invention.
