ID. Mosser and his wife, and John G.
scAaum and wife, were walking over the
crossing of the alley between the Southern
market building and Sapp's furniture store
when they heard the report of pistol or
gun and bullet came whistling by them
which they distinctly heard strike tree
on the opposite side of the street. Search
was made in the alley for the person who
hred the shot, but he could not be found
nor is 1t exactly certain from what direc.
ton 1t came. 1t is believed that some one
was shooting at dogs, and if that is the case
they were very careless, as at least one of
the four parties might easily have been
killed.

lie Gets so Drunk That Another Con-
stable Is Obliged To Lock Him Up.
Constable Christ Kline, Of West Hemp
field township, who spends nearly every
day in Lancaster, where he does most of
his business, is constantly getting into
trouble. He usually leaves for home OH
Harrisburg Accommodation at $50 in the
evening. Oflate very big loads of rum have
been accompanying him home, and from
their great size the wonder has been to
many that the railroad company did not
charge him extra fare. II docs not matter
to him ho. full he becomes, or in what
part Of town he is when the time for the
train to leave arrives, as he always tries to
make the station. Last evening he appeared
ut tho corner of Walnut and North Queen
streets. lie was so drunk that he did not
know what he was doing, and he acted so
badly that police were sent for. When the
officers arrived Christ had disappeared.
He next turned up at the p. X. X. railroad
station, but on account OF his condition the
trainmen refused TO take him on the cars.
lie then began tloundering around the
station Tx" chicken with its head cut Off
and he soon was as bloody as a fowl in
that condition, for he fell from the platform
in the station and cut his face worry badly,
Several OF his friends tried to get him to
place where he would not make such dis
play of himself, but they could do nothing
with him. Finally Constable Ehrman
made up his mind to take Kline to the
station house. The latter could not walk
and he was hauled to the place of confne-
ment on trunk truck. Hc was bailed out
his morning for hearing before Alder
man Deen.

Full Speed.

About noon to-day Dr. NJ. l.. Herr, of
North Duke street, had n runaway which
might have cost him his life or al least very
serious injuries. He was driving his mare,
usually very quiet and gentlc animal, up
North Queen street, and near Orange the
bit broke. The bride soon came otr the an.
imal and this frightened hor. She started
OIL on run with the doctor in the phRtou
utterly helpless, as he was unable TO do
anything with the roins As she passed
up North Queen street quite number of
persons ran out into the street and tried TO
stop her by throwing up their hands and
yelling. This only frightened her the moro
and at one time when the doctor had her al
most stopped by talking to her man ran
out and started her again. At Jamc.
street the animal turned and ran on as far
as Duke. In trying TO turn the corner
there, she fell very hard to the pavement.
and was choked so by the harness that she
was unable TO get up. The doctor was then
enabled to get out of the buggy, escaping
without an injury of any kind The buggy
was badly broken aud the horse cut and
bruised.

ing ana Lodged In Jail.
Some months ago Henry w. Brubaker,
Indicted for keeping II bawdy house and
violating the liquor law, skipped away
from the jurisdiction of this court. He
went to st. Louis, but did not remain there
long. His bail was forfeited and a bench
warrant issued for his arrest His brother
was interested in his capture because he
had helped to indemnify the bondsmau.
Suit was not brought on the bond be-
cause II was arranged 10 pay the amount of
the same out of an Inheritance coming 10
Brubaker and his brother.
His brother learned few days AGO lba,
Henry was in Reading in the same bust
ness he had in this city. He put the mat
Ter IN charge of Deputy Sheriff Armstrong,
and that official went to Reading on We'd
nesday. He found his man without auy
trouble and brought him to this city on the
late train last night.
He was lodged in the county iail and
VIII remain there until the adjourned ses-
sions in October, when he will be tried.
The testimony is strong against him and
he VIII probably plead guilty to prevent
all the damaging circumstances against
him from being brought to tho att entiou of
the court.

An lncendiary Believed to Have Caused
Tuesday Afteruoon's Blaze.

Tuesday Asteruoon's Blaze.
Lancaster had another fire on Tuesday az
ternoon, just about the time the new spa
pers wcro going to press. II was In 4
frame stable In the rear of 70l North Lime
street, which property Is owned by d. r.
Locher's estate, and 10 occupied by Abra.
ham Applebach. On the same spot stable
Was burned three years ago, when the
property was owned by Adam Misblicb.
The alarm for yesterdays FIRE was struck
from box 46,at Duke and Frederick street !.
Tho hremen were not slow in getting 10
the grounds, and they extinguishei the
hAmes, but not until the building was al
most tentirclydestroyed or at least burned TO
such an extent that II will have 10 be torn
down and rebuilt. In the building were
$500 worth Of old rags which wore made up
in bales. Applebach formerly bought rags
and those on hand belonged TO John A.
Shober, who had no insurance upon them.
Several wagons were taken out of the
building, but four sets of harness, a rag
press and pair Of scales, all of which bo-
longed TO Mr.. Shober, were DESTROYED.
Next TO the burned stable were two small
structures, which were owned by Frederick
Eiseman, and they were also pretty well
damaged. There was nothing in them of
value.
The belief Is that the FIRE. which broke
out In tho second story and was first seen
coming out Of the roof, was the work of an
incendiary. After dinner tramp came 10
Applebachs house and impudcntly asked
for something 10 cat, which was not given
him. He went away in very bad hulnor
and he Is said TO have been seen near the
stable shortly before the fire was dis
covered by Mrs. Applebach.
Mr.. Locher's building was valued at
about $500. and he has an insurance upon Il
ofs500 In the Girard company. of Phila-
delphia, Of which Jere Rife is the agent.
Mr.. Shobor complains about the manner In
which the fire was extinguished. He says
that the bales Of rags were put together
with big double presses, aud the
rags in them, which were left intact,
were burned only on the outside. The
rrcmen for some reason cut the wir,s
around several Of the bundles, and threw
them out OF the building. They were scat
tered around in the mud and it will require
much labor TO wash, dry and repack them.
Mr.. Shober says II was not necessary TO cut
the wires.
