THE JUNE BUG RAMPANT.

The bug is very useful insect, but how
objectional it can make itself on occasions
is shown by an incident which occurre d
one night on the Central railroad OF New
Jersey. The milk train was carrying two
passenger coaches behind the milk cars
and as the night was warm the half dozen
passengers aboard had the windows all
raised. The train had been standing on a
side track for a few minutes when swarm
of large June bugs, attracted by the car
lights, flew in through the windows. In
five minutes the seats were nearly covered
with the bugs and they began to crawl
around the legs Of the passengers and to
prove otherwise unpleasantly officious. In
five minutes the insects had possession OF
the cars and the passengers turned out
The problem which now presented itself
was how to get the pests out of the carf
before the train started. A fire was sug.
gested, and while the passengers gathered
brushwood and kindled roaring blaze
one Of the brakemen went into the cars
and put the lights out, The ruse was sue
cessful, the bugs deserted the cars and the
passengers went back, shut down the win
dows and sat in darkness until the train
started.-Ne0 York Commercial Advertiser.

II Man Must Drink T..

If a man must drink the best thing he
can take with mis- meals is little claret or
light Rhine wine, and if he wants some
thing a little stronger, Scotch whskey
with water is the best thing he can have.
The habit of taking drink early in the
morning-a cocktail or stimulant of that
kind commonly called an eYe-opener, is
one of the worst things that can be done.
The effect of alcohol is TO inhame the
stomach, and it will do this even when di-
luted; and will do 30 great deal more
when taken on an empty stomach early in
the morning. The best drink that man
can possibly take is milk. Milk, though
is hardly drink. One can live longer on
il than any one thing. Milk is more near
ly perfect food than anything; it contains
more elements that go to build up the sys-
TEN than any other Article. Early in the
morning the best drink to take is water.
Tea and coffee drunk in moderation will
not hurt anybody, although they are both
stimulants.

Saturday last, July 49, was witnessed
one of the most interesting games Of base
ball played upon Athletic Park. The game
was between the Evansville and Blooms
burg teams The Jeansville team came
here with record of but one defeat for
the season. Bloomsbury was sent to the
bat, but failed to score a run. Jeansvile
followed making run. The game was
continuous blanks for the Bloomsbury
team until the ninth innipg when Hagen
buch hit low ball which passed the pitch
er, second base and centre fielder giving
him two bases, Watts followed making a
short hit, but by bad throw to first he
made two bases, and Hagenbuch scored the
first run, amid the widest enthusiasm ever
shown-hats, caps, handkerchiefs and
umbrellas were flying in the air, and the
voices of the coachers could not be heard
for the deafening cheers. Watts, Shaft er
and Hays each in succession made score,
amid desfening roars of applause. The
Jeansville club evidently came here with
the intention of shutting our boys out"
but were disappointed. The following is
the score.

FIRE IN A MINE.
FOUR HUNDRED MEN AND BOYS THROWN OUT
OF WORK AT HAZLRToN.

HAzLEToN, July 81, ESPECIAL About
$50 o'clock this morning as the pump boys
entered the Hszleton mines, situated on
the Western limits Of the borough, to at
| tend to the pumps and look after the mine
locomotive, they discovered fierce fire
| raging at the distance of about 100 yards
East from the bottom of the slope. Tney
| Immediately returned to the surface and
gave the alarm. Word was sent to
Thomas Milford, inside foreman, and
John Benner, outside boss Of the breaker,
who Immediately repaired to the scene Of
the fire with a force of hastily summoned
miners and took every means possible
towards extinguishing the flames. Super
intendent Frank Pardee and Mine Superin-
tendent Thomas Dickinson also hurr ed to
the mine and assumed control OF the work
of fighting the fire, which had gained much
Roadway and threatened to ruin the whole
workings.
About 1000 feet OF hose was borrowed
from the borough fire department, taken to
| the scene and connected with one of the
mine pumps, and a stream Of water was
thrown upon the flames, while other work.
men were at once put to work to confine
the fire within its present limits, in which
effort they met with success. Other gangs
were put to work laying pipes snd to erect
a Cameron pump near the scene OF the fire =.
| As soon as the pump was placed in posi-
| ton the hose was attached and, under the
| direction Of Superintendent Dickinson and
Mine Inspector Williams, Of Wilkesbsrre, a
heavy stream of water was thrown upon
the burning mass of falling coal and roof.
The location of the fire is in the sixth
left, about 100 yards from the foot of tn
slope, at depth of 900 feet from the sur
face, and can only be reached through the
No. slope, owing to bad air In the Hazle-

ground connections the fire was attacked d
on both sides by a large force of men
working in gangs and relieved every IF.

tendent Dickinson, Mine Inspector Will

the workmen were overcome by the foul

as brought to the surface. FIVE mules in
the stable at the foot of the slope were
strangled by the foul air.
The origin of the fire can only be vague

caught from the locomotive sparks having
set fire to the timbering. The damage to
the mine can only be coniectured and W i'll

The upper stories of the Western Union
building in New York were burned out
last Friday night. and valuable batteries
and the great switch boards were de-
stroyed. The following account is given
OF the narrow escape of several people:
Meantime the crowds which had col
lected in the street discovered halt dozen
women and two or three men on the roof
They ran up and down wringing their
hands and shouting aloud for help. Great
sheets of fame were bursting from the win
dows just beneath them and curling up-
ward in most threatening way.
These people on the roof were the en-
ployees of the restaura Mt on the top Of the
building, where the majority of the opera
tors of the Western MON main Office take
their meals. They were prisoners. All
means OF escape were cut off. The fire
was gaining ground. The women cried
out pitifully. One advanced and put her
foot on the railing with the evident inten-
ton Of jumping down into Broadway. But
the crowd on the street yelled to her to
keep back and she did so.
The first order that Fire Chief Bonner gave
on his arrival was that ropes should be sent
up to the roof. A rocket with rope attach
ment was let Off and it landed safely. A sec
ond rocket was sent up. Ii also carried its
rope. But the people on the roof were be-
wildered. Now that they had the ropes
they did not know what to do with them.
They were helpless. Every now and then
they would be enveloped in smoke, and
the stubborn flames were creeping slowly
toward them.
Firemen were dist ibited on all the auia.
cent housetops, where they directed streams
of water into the fiery furnace. The water
tower, extended to its full height, was situ-
ated on the Broadway side of the building.
All the lower floors were footed with
water. The upper ones were sfre. They
included the battery room, the operating
room, the gallery, the dressing room, the
main Office of the Associated Press, on the
top tloor,of the building and the restaurant
adjoining it.
1t did not seem likely that the women on
the roof could be saved.
There were no fire escapes from the roof.
Had there been fire escapes there would
have been no danger. A long ladder was
rushed upon the roof of No. 8 Dey Street
and placed against the rear of the burning
building. 1t fell fifty feet short of its
mark, for it did not reach the women. A
fireman scaled the ladder. One of the
women lowered him a rope. He climbed
up, hand over hand, aud reached tn
eighth story. Plunging thr ougha window,
he fought his way up the narrow stairway
to the roof. Here he sent the rope that
had been sent by rocket, hoisted up his
comrades and lowered the women one by
one to the roof of No. Dey Street"
From the window of their room in the
Astor House, New York, the above seen G
was witnessed by P. s. Harman, W. Il.
Tubbs and Il. w. Oswald.

WOMEN AND BURGULAEs.

HOW TIMID WOMAN PREVENTED A HOUSE
ROBBERY.
II think buglars are more often utterly
routed by women than men," said q police
man to the reporter the other day. 'It is
wonderful what woman will do some
times when she hears a strange noise in
her house at night. know that my own
wife is nervous, excitable invalid, who
often lies awake in the night, when / am
out on my beat, trembling In her bed with
apprehension lest a burglar might enter
the house. 50 far she is an absolute cow
ard.
"But let her really hear a noise in any
part of the house which might be made by
burglar, and the oppor tunity for action
is a positive relief to her. Up she gets in
a minute, and without seconds hesitation
makes her way in the dark all over the
house, looking for the intruder-not a
sign of fear then-bu. as the fact that no.
body has actually entered the house be-
comes apparent, her fear lest some one
might do so returns, and she goes back to
bed coward again. Strange, isn't il?
~ remember desperate burgl ar, who
was hanged for killing man whose house
he had been discovered robbing, telling me
that the only time he actually felt scared at
finding himself face 10 face with one Of the
inmates of the house he was 'cracki ng
was when slight, delicate woman, clad
only in her night dress, came iunning
down the stairs, and, putting her hand on
his arm, inquired in a terrified tone:
"Whst's the matter? Is there burglar
in the house? Oh, protect mel"
In her terror she did not think Of him as
the robber, and the evident comfort it gave
her to find some one to prot CT her gave
him new sensation altogether.
He was staggered moment by the situ
alton, but, hearing other inmates moving
up stairs who had evidently been aroused
by her loud exclsmations, he quickly said
Certainly, ma'am, rll protect you-havt
no fear. Just stand here behind the dool
while look in the kitchen, where the
noise seems to come FROM"
"Oh, thank you,' she replied, as he slip
ped out into the kitchen, picked up hii
| shoes and vanished out Of the window
leaving the booty piled upon the floor in {
table cloth, which he was just tying uI
when the woman came upon him.-Bosto'

Shiefman, bottle of Sulphur Bitters. Be-
fore the court this morning, upon being
asked why he should steal, he stated that
his mother was troubled with Rheumatism,
and that it was the only medicine that
helped her, and being out of money and
work was the cause Of his stealing. As
this was his first offence he was put on
probation. .-Netoark yecs. 7-1S-2t.
