AS uthern paper thinks that the
forts Of the luture will be very different
from the immense works of Garth and
masonry now in u~. The military en-
gincors Of the British army have decid-
ed in favor OF metallic Notifications. A
fortress will hereafter be composed OF a
large iron or steel block OF incredible
thickness. Several sheeted cannon will.
be arranged SO that they can revolvo
around the block. At tho angles of
this block there will lo sheetod roducts
which will Fake assault impossible. In
the interiofw be all the equipments
of the fOrtf's The hiding place for
the soldier Will be underground, and
the entranf will be on the side oppo-
site the edeny's position. 1t is believed
that the "a arison for such fortress
need not fcacd forty men. 1t will be
absolutely impregnablc, ard cannon
balls will herely glance off its smooth
surface.

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Attorney Virgil 8. Duval Arrested
and Is now In Jail.

Some time ago negro named Louis
Randle was detected in wrongfully
cutting wood on John James proper
ty, for which he was liable for SO
fine. He was arrested and in default
of bond went tojail. While in Jail an
eccentric lawyer, Virgil Duval saw
him and arranged to defend him for
$50, but as Randle had no property
other than a span of mules he agreed
to mortgage the mules to secure the
payment of the lawyers fee. Duval
prepared an instrument which, the
negro alleges, he told him was mort
gage on the mules, but which
was in reality a bill of sale
for the animals. Yesterday in
Justice Barnes court, Duval sought to
get the mules under his bill of sale,
but the transaction was of so shady a
character that judgment was given
for the defendant. 1t is forgery to
misrepresent document and falsely
secure signature to it, and this morn
ing the grand jury investigated the
matter and sufficient evidence was
found for them TO return an indict-
ment against Duval for forgery. He
was arrested upon that charge and is
now in Jail. The grand jury are inves-
tigating other charges against Duval.

Kisner Goes toWork

f. p. Kisner, recently elected Chairman
of the Democratic State Commit &c, opened
the headquarters of the commtte ia Har-
risburg, Tuesday. The practice has been
to have the head of the party organization
in Philadel Ghia, but Mr.. Kisner proposes to
introduce an innovation by making the
State capital the centre of political Work
He justifes this on the ground that Har-
rishurg is more central than Philadelphia
Mr.. Kisner proposes to enter upon the work
of the campaign at once. In fact he was
busy all day mailing circulars to all parts
Of the State, asking for the cooperation
Of the local workers in the work of party
organization. He proposes to have all the
preliminary work of the canvass, such as
the preparing of lists of voters, performed
before the dominating conventions have
met, so that the moment the tickets are
in the field lac will be ready for the heavy
work of the canvass
Kisner is determined to test the relative
strength Of the parties in this State. In
his speech nominating Kisner for Chairman
the other day, Congressman Scott said the
Democrats have majority on fair and
full vote, Kisner will try to verify thi:
statment, and he will have plenty of the
sinews of war and other useful things tc
help him through.

Successful Horse Doctor

We are pleased to note the success Of Or.
o. w. Snyder, the popular horse doctor,
who located in this town not quite one
year ago. As a veterinary surgeon, the
doctor has no equal-his skill in perform
ing critical operations and in removing the
most loathsome diseases from horses and
cattle place him pre-eminently in the fore
rank of successful veterinary surgeons.
Among the latest achievements scored by
the doctor was the successful removal of a
tumor from a colt belonging to Geo. Buck,
of Franklin; the removal of a fibrous lum.
or from valuable young heifer, the prop
erty of Mrs. Solomon Miller, of Mahonins
township, and many other minor opera
tions, all performed with the greatest care
and skill. If our farmer friends need the
assistance of veterinary surgeon we com
mend DR.. Snyder to them.
