-Chas. X. (Kin.) Abbott, of this city,
was arrested on Monday, charged with
robbing Isaac Garrison, an old man of
ninety-fve, living in Delaware township,
of thirty-one dollars. 1t appears that
Garrison came to this city on Saturday
last and had his pension check cashed.
He drank little beer, and started for
home. Abbott went along with him part
of the way. When the old man got home
his money was all gone. Abbott was
brought before Justice J. H Horn, who
adjourned the hearing to Tuesday morn
ing and required Abbott to secure $500
bail. He went out with the constable to
endeavor to secure it, but instead took leg
bail and ran away. He has not yet been
arrested.

The Pennsylvania Globe Gas Light Co.
has proposal before Council for lighting
the twenty seven street lamps in the city,
that increases the present cost of lighting
about $500 per year. The agent of the
company has made several visits to this
city and has done considerable lobbying,
both in the Council room and at the
houses of some Councilmen. Tax payers
will do we'll to keep their eyes on this
matter. 1t seems unreasonable to in
crease the present cost of lighting the
city, now over 81, 300 per year, to more
than 81, 900, and have all the additional
cost put on the twenty seven oil lamps in
the outskirts of the city.

Broad Street Station to be Partially Adam
dOned During IInnrnNamanfs


Extensive improvements will shortly be
made at the Broad Street Station, Phila-
delphia, during the progress of which the
old depots at Thirty second and Market
streets, Thirty-second and Chestnut, and
Broad and Washington avenue will be
utilized for the departure and arrival of
trains. The Pennsylvania Company's
business at Broad street has grown SO
large that it has long felt the need of
more room at that place, and in order to
facilitate the work of improvement only
through trains and others in competition
with the Reading Road will arrive and de-
part from Broad street.
The change will probably be made
within two weeks or month. The Thir-
ty second and Market streets station will
be used for local travel on the main line
and for some of the Schuylkill Valley and
Germantown and Chestnut Hill trains.
Trains on the Baltimore Central division
and those to and from Media and West
Chester will arrive at and depart from
Thirty second and Chestnut streets. The
station on South Board street will be
thrown open for travel to Baltimore and
other points South.

Popularity of billiard Players.

/ have noticed as popularity of profess
sional billiard players their remarkably high
foreheads. Take George Slosson and Jake
Schaefer for instance, both have very broad
and high foreheads, and the others are the
same. Thus vignaux, Carter, Thatcher,
Maggioh and others, go right through the list,
and you will notice this popularity among
all Of them. The possible exception to the
lot Is Billy Cation He has the lowest fore
head Of any billiard player over saw. Can
it be that high forehead is necessary to ac-
quire great skill at billiardsl 1t may not be
SO, but 1t is fact that all the champion bill

to be an orphan, was delighting New
Hope with his performances. 1t turns
out that the boy was only an orphan
temporarily, having made himself such
by running away from his home at Cata-
sauqua, Pa, because he was compelled to
study hard and was punished IN case of
failure. His father arrived here last week
in search Of him and was delighted to find
him. He had been advertising for him
all over the country. The boy had assum-
ed the name Of his music teacher, Henry
Vending, bat his right name is Fritz
Neubert. His father was greatly pleased
with the care that had been taken of him
by friends in New Hope, and left with us
a card for publication, which is given
below. "Fritz' played for Maj. G. A.

evenings, and left for home on Saturday
morning, where it is to be hoped he will
get along nicely hereafter. His father,
