HOW PAIR OF BUNco sHARPERs WERE
FoILED.

A few days ago a couple of bunco
men visited the residence of Alex. Bill
meyer, who owns one of the finest
farms IN Montour county, not far from
Wsshingtonville, and tried their game
on this wellknown gentleman. Their
mode of operation was as follows: A
well dressed stranger representing him.
self to be an extensive stock raiser
near Baltimore, called on Mr.. Billmey-
er aud desired to be shown over his
plantation" Mr.. Billmeyer is very
pleasant, sffsble gentleman and takes
delight in showing his fine stock to
those who call on him. The stranger
was driven about the farm and by be-
slowing liberal amount of praise upon
Mr.. Billmeyer and frequer compliments
to his horses, cows, etc, succeeded In
creating very favorable impression.
On their way back TO the house they
met another neatly attired stranger
who inquired the way to the Catswisss
station. NJ. Billmeyer replied that
there was none nearer than Danville,
and invited stranger number two into
the buggy, an invitation thst was q, Z.
cepted with alscrity.
He shortly took pack of cards out
of his pocket and suggested 3 game,
but neither Mr.. Billmeyer nor his friend
were disposed TO take hand. Finally
he persuaded them to try it Just for
fun, and they did, each winning ten
thousand dollsrs. He then opened his
satchel and produced twenty thousand
dollars which he said would have been
theirs If they had gone into the game
in earnest. Mr.. Billmeyer's friend
thought it was a pretty good scheme
and so did Mr.. B.. aud they proposed
to 60 into the game. But Mr.. Bill.
meyers money was in the Dsnsille
bank, so he proposed TO go over and
draw some out aud try his hand. He
was compelled to stop at the house TO
get his coat, and his better half suspect
ing that something was wrong quest
ioned him very closely and he finally
told her how he intended to make ten
Thousand dollars. 1t did not axe her
long 20 convince the old gentleman
that stranger number one was con-
federste of the monte man, and that
they were trying TO fleece him Mrs-
Billmeyer went out to the front gate
where the shsrpers were waiting and
gave them piece OF her mind that
they did not seem to appreciate for

WASHINGTON LETTER.
CFrom our Regular Correspondent.

Washington, ID. G. Aug. 4, 1890.
The most attractive feature of the
present Congress, Is TO see the rats
deserting the sinking G.. o. p. ship.
Senator Plumb of Kansas is the last
one TO open his eyes, and swim for his
life. He is one of the largest rodents
in the Senate chImber of the vessel;
but he found it sinking, and is ''pull-
ing for the shore. The democrats
were put into q state of extreme graft
tication, when they heard the Kansas
Senator denouuee the theory he has
been hsrping on for years,
That stsuneh old soldier, of yerbisge
Mr.. Sherman replied to him, and show
ed that he hated yet to give up. But
the fact is growing daily more aPpar-
snt that the republican party has abb
solutely stampeded. and, u the eoantry

The week that Peter A. Evans with
drew his name as candidate for repre-
sentative, the COLUMBIAN said that as
William Krickbaum had practically no
opposition, he would be nominated.
Since then Mr.. Evans has again an
nounced his name, but notwithstsnd-
ing that fact the Sentinel continues to
print what the COLUMBIAN said when
MIR. Evans was not candidate. If
the Democratic party of Columbia
county approves of candidate taking
such an unfair and dishonorable sd-
vantage of his opponent they will re-
nominate Krickbsum. There is not an
other man in Pennsylvania who pre-
tends to be an editor, who would use
his own columns for his own sdysn-
tage in so base a manner.

Our mail has been changed again. 1t Is
said that railroads facilitate travel but the
b. s. 8. does not seem to help in the rapid
transit OF our mail; or else there are too
many along our branch who are opposed to
advancement. Before the mail was carried
by rail we received 1t nearly day earlier
than at present. We know the K. X. is
not to blame but we do feel somewhat cha
grined to have to own that such old fogies
live up here; but nevertheless it is true and

Agents Of fertilizers are about as plenty
nowadays as candidates, but we have not
yet learned that the agents meet so many
friends, SO called, in the towns and around

lieve they are welcomed just as heartily
by the industrious voter as il they would
spend their time and money in sppropriat-
ing liquor for the absence Of brains.
A great deal OF fault is delng found with
the condition and manner OF working our
roads this season. Only few are notified
when the roads are to be worked and what
work has been done; has been at great cost
leaving large part of our roads in very
bad condition and getting still worse at
every rain.

Hitherto in the galvanic coating Of
plaster casts there has been a difficulty
in stopping the pores of the surface so
effectually as to prevent the galvanic
bath penetrating into the interior of the
plaster and there producing first crystal
lization and then disintegration. This
obstacle appears to have been overcome
by the discovery that saturation in tan
not only closes up the pores Of the plas-
ter. but adds very considerably to its
strength. Specimens so prepared have
been covered with copper one millimeter

1t does, however. seem to be quite practi.

the telegraph companies rs it does with the
railroad companies, to carry at specified
rates such communications rs the seDders
