A ROMANTIC STORY.
The Life of a Burglar Somewhat Like
EnOch Arden in It's Events.
IN Y Press

m. Y. Press.l
A man was shot in the small mining town of
Gilberton, Pa, several nights ago, while bur-
glarizing a store. and was taken to the Potts
vile JAIL where he is now dying from his
wounds He said his name was Tom Nanke-
Vile of this city, and that he had brother and
a cousin living here. The latter was found after
q long search living in the suburbs of this city,
and was informed that Vaudeville was dying
and sent love to all relatives and friends.
Leonard Rogers, the cousin, was astonished
upon learning of the shooting, as he thought
Vaudeville was dead. A remarkably romantic
tale was unearthed. Twenty years ago the
dying burglar came from the western part Of
England to Shamokin. He was a handsome
young man. dressed well and worked in the
mines Two years later former sweetheart of
Vaudeville came here with her husband.
Nankeville, learning of their arrival, boarded
with the young couple upon their going to
housekeeping.
A year later he went to Port Huron, Y. J., to
work and while there month learned of his
rivals death in the mines Coming back to
Shamokin he paid court and eventually married
the widow. Six months rolled by, when he
came home one night drunk. A cousin OF his
wife upbraided him, and that night he packed
up his clothing and left, it was afterward
learned, for the lake region, where he worked
in the copper mines. His wife gave birth to
his child three months afterward. Mrs. Nanke-
vile Walteu lot ner nuSOdnu return, anu dlter
six years had elapsed was told that he was dead.
She had during that time supported herself and
child by doing sewing. erhealth broke down
on learning of her husbands death, and to gain
a home she married a third time. Her last
husband is a miner and they live happily
together. Two years age Vaudeville turned up
alive, and, learning OF his wife's marriage, crept
into the house one night and kissed his child,
then a grown woman, as she lay asleep, and de-
parted, never to be heard from again until yes
terday. His wife was interviewed, and, on being
told of Naukeville's shooting, expressed deep
sorrow. Her daughter was reared without a
knowledge of her fathers existence

rounder and oilier. ''Huers" or watchers
stand constantly at the st. Ives farthest
headland and signal the approach of
pitcher schulls," as they call them, the
reddish and ripply appearance OF the water
betraying their presence. Then the dead
old town suddenly awakens, and from
5000 to 1000 excited souls can be seen at
doors, windows, in the streets and launch
ing the unwieldy seine boats. These and
all gear are owned in partnership, but
each boat must take It's regular turn. The
seines have the finest mesh of any known
sea-taking seines; are frequently 200 faith
oms long and twelve deep, while the
seines are 'shot" and the fish taken and
landed precisely as are our herring at
Eastport, Lubec and Grand Manan.
From 200 to 500 hogsheads are
taken at ordinary catches, though
in 1851 5,555 hogsheads, or To-
100000 pilchards were secured at one haul,
the largest ever taken at st. Ives. Hun
dreds of women and maidens, some won
drous types of rugged beauty, are en-
ployed in 'bulking the pitchers" on the
docks; that is sandwiching them between
LAYERS of salt in dark cellars, amid Babel
bee screeching for salt and fish. After
this draining and curing they are
"layered" in hogsheads. the oil pressed
out of them, saved and sold; andthe prod
uct is shipped to the Adriatic ports for
lenten food. Thus the Cornish fisher
folk, nine-tenths of whom are Wesleyan
methodists, annually drink hearty toast
to the pope and, because the Spaniards
imagine the fish are smoked and call
them fumados, the term has been trans
formed into "fair maids" and the pitchers,
without which there is always great want
and suffering, have for centuries been
known at old st. Ives as the "Fair Maids
of Cornwall that feed and clothe the poor.

"Insulting the Germans. !"
TRichmond Independents

The indianapolis Journal yesterday morning
contained an editorial with the caption 'In-
sulting the Germans" The body of the edito-
rial goes on to explain to the Germans how
and improves the opportunity to advise the
Germans to retaliate by voting the republican
ticket.
1t strikes US that the Germans probably have
enough intelligence to know when they are
insulted, and it is our impression that they also
know enough to resent the insult the journal
puts upon them by its patronizing information
and advice.
1t is very common dodge with the republic
an press to try to influence votes among the
Germans and Irish by telling them when they
are insulted, and in doing this they perpetrate
the meanest insult possible

The New Hooks In Clinton County.

We understand the school board has decided
to use the Indiana school book series. More
books were brought here last Saturday, aud
this morning various pupils took the books
which they had bought of the county superin-
tendent to school with note from the parents
requesting that they be used. The teacher then
sends a note to the superintendent asking what
to do. Supt Griffith asks the same question of
the board. 1t was expected the board would
decline TO use them. But a member OF the
school board is authority for the statement that
they will be admitted for use in the schools.

Mr.. J. ). luck county Superintendent;
DEAR SIR-We have put the entire list of
new books INTO our schools. We had no trouble
whatever The entire cost for about $50 pupils
was less than $S5. To have supplied promoted
pupils with new books of the old series would
have cost more than 500.
While / think the new books not good as
the old ones, know that they are not nearly
so bad as they have been represented. We can
do good and effective work with them. Yours

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPAToH.I
FINDLAY, September 13 - Pittsbutg
papers have recently contained what pur-
ported to be an interview with Manager
Williams, of the West Park Window Glass
Works, of this city, in which he is made to
say that the window glass houses of Ohio
and Indiana would resume work on Sep
tember Is, conceding the demands of the
workers for an advance in wages. He
is also quoted as saying that the
West Park factory would start September
Is, and that he was engaging men for that
purpose. The manufacturers of this city,
engaged in the window glass trade, take
strong exceptions to these statements of Mr..
Williams, and say that they are totally de-
void of truth and entitled to no consideration
whatever. They say Mr.. Williams has placed
them in a wrong light before the trade in other
cities. THE DISPATCH correspondent has in
terviewed all the window glass men of this city
on the Williams statement, and they all unite
in denouncing his expressions as misleading
and calculated to deceive.
DR.. F. w. Firman. President of the Buckeye
Window Glass Company, voiced the general
sentiment of the window glass manufacturers
interviewed when he said THE Williams in
terv1ews, as reported by the Pittsburg papers,
are full of errors. In the first place he says
the West Park Window Glass Works would ac-
cede to the demand of the men and start up
September Is when it is well known that that
factory is not yet under roof; the furnaces have
not yet been started, and it will be impossible
for it to get started before December /. The
statement that the other Findlay factories will
start September Isis positively without founda-
tion. We will all stand firm, and will not start
a fire until the wage question is settled by the
committee appointed by the association"
DR.. Firman claimed that the factories could
not make expenses if they should concede the
advance in wages demanded BY the men, as the
prices of glass would not justify it. He said
the Flndlay factories were now selling glass at
almost cost and if the present shutdown
should continue till December i, the factories
would be the gamers, as the surplus stock
would be reduced and better prices would be
obtained. These statements were shown to all
the Findlay managers, and heartily indorsed by
them as being true diagnosis of the situation,
and that no fires will be started until the Wage
Committee of the association gave the order,
and not sooner

145, ,S99 August /, and 1886 year ago.
In spite of the increase of 144 per cent in
production for the year, the tone of the mar
ket is strong for the best well known grades,
but while such iron sells at $1S for No. 1,
new makers are selling other iron claimed
to be equally good at s17, and failure to
sell No. Southern at SIS is noticed.
Rails do not rise; 10000 tons were sold
during the week at S2S. The American
copper syndicate appears to have collapsed,
and Lake is quoted at $40 25 for September.
Secret sales here by the Rothschilds are
rumored. The London strike, preventing
shipments, permitted corner in tin here,
but the price has reacted to q a cents, while
lead is strong at 4 cents. Coal is dull.
THE WOOL MARKET.
The wool market is nominally firm, but if
manufacturers refuse to buy, the expected
lower prices will come. The grocery trade
has been much affected by the weather, and
sugar is also weakened by the conviction
that fall impends. Breadstuffs have been
co nparatively inactive; wheat is half a cent
higher, with sales for the week of only
10, 000, 900 bushels, and corn quarter low
er, with sales of 6, SOC, 900 bushels. y
Coffee has advanced another half cent,
and oil 2 cents, but hogs and lard are lower.
On the whole speculation in products is
making unusually little disturbance this
year, and the large crops are therefore all
the more likely to go into consumption
promptly and at moderate prices.
The business failures during the last
seven days number, for the United States,
10, and for Canada, %. For the CORE
spending week of last year the figures were
100 in the United States and q in Canada.
