The Jamisor city Robbery.

The burglary at the store OF 7. e. Proc
tor at Jsmison City has been reported in
several ways, and we have taken pains 10
procure the particulars. The thieves en-
tered the store through the ice house at the
rear. They first entered door about If
teen.feet from the ground, and after get
ting inside they had to descend again to
the floor Of the ice house about the same
distance, and from there they went up over
the ware house garret and down through
trap door, then they cut through panel
and got into the main store room. They
seemed to have made thorough inspec-
tion Of the contents Of the store. Every.
thing was turned topsy turvey. On the
floor they left all their old clothes, consist
ing Of hats, coats, pants, shoes, suspenders
and underwear. One Of them evidently
had on three wooden shirts, one over the
other, one fiue pair Of camers hair draw
ers. These were Isoiled and had never
been washed. and were probably stolen
somewhere else. A pair Of pants left had
the cost mark on yet, and among other
things left was a red handkerchief that
had been worn around the neck. They left a
purse, and small 80 calibre revolver with
iron handle. They took away with them
about seven overcoats, two dozen fine
woolen shirts, all the jewelry in a show
case, including watches knives, razors,
pocketbooks, four large valises, tobacco,
cigars, two halter straps and number OF
suits of clothes. They took 80 much that
they must have had te am near at hand,
OF there were not less than four robbers.
About quarter OF one light was seen in
the store by Samuel Mlchaels and also by
| MIR. Wolf and another man. At the same
| time two men were seen at the depot ap
parently drunk, but it is supposed tina
they were Of the party, and that their bois
ferrous conduct was assumed for the pur
pose of distracting attention from the stor'
when anybody was seen on the street. M
arrests have yet been made, and 1t i
strange that no men have been seen any
where loaded down with plunder as thes
men must haye been.
On Friday preceding four tickets wer
stolen from the station at Llghtstreet T.
Jamison City, and on Thursday some wer
stolen from the Saltwater station to Jsmi
son City. At saltwater the agent notice
two men sitting in the waiting room in th
evening, and while he was at supper the
got over the partition into the Office an
helped themselves. The waiting room
are always left open, and the offices ar
separated from the waiting-room by pal
tition that does not extend to the ceiling
Whether they were the same men or not
not known. They are probably member
of the same gang that have been operatin
through this region.

DIR. Talmage on thanksgiving.

Only few brief days and there viii be a
table spread across the top of the two
great ranges of mountains which ride this
continents table reaching from the At
lantic to the Pacific seas. 1t is the Thanks-
giving table of the Nation. They come
from the East and West and North and
South and sit at 1t. On it will be smoking
the products of all lands-blrds of every
sviary, cattle from every pasture, fish from
every lake, ,feathered spoils from every farm.
The fruit baskets will bend down under
the products plucked from tfe peach
fields of New Jersey, the apple orchards of
western New York, the orange grows of
Florida, the vineyards of ohio and the
nuts threshed from New England woods.
The bread will be white from the wheat
fields of Illinois and Michigan, the ban
aueters will be adorned with California
gold, and the table will be a-gleam with
Nevada silver, and the feast will be warm
ed with fire-grates heaped up with Penn
sylvania coal. The halls will be spread
with carpets from the Lowell mills, and
when darkness comes with its heavy drap
cries, the lights will flash from bronzed
brackets of Philadelphia manufacture.
The fingers of the Massachusetts girls will
have hung the embroidery the music will
be the drumming OF ten thousand mills ac-
companied by the shouts of children let
loose for play, and the gladness of harves-
ters driving barnward the loads of sheaves,
and the thanksgivings of the nation which
crowd the gates with doxologies, until the
oldest harper of Heaven will not be able to
tell where the terrestrial song ends and the
celestial song begins. Welcome, Thanks

The st, am flre engine purchased by the
council arrived on Friday. It is n No.
Silsby Rotary and cost $1,000. The iron
work aud wheels are painted red, and the
polished WORK is nickel plated. The en-.
gine was tested on Saturday afternoon.
1t was drawn by four black horses fur
nisheG by W. II Gilmore and driven by A.
Noble The first test was at the Normal
school, where the highest points Of th'
roof were reached easily by the stream
Next the plug at Market square was at
tached to, and one line Of hose was laid up
Market to the Lutheran church. When
the engine was started with a pressure OF
S5 pounds Of steam, the water soon issued
from the nozzle, and climbed higher and
higher until 1T nearly reached the topmost
point Of the church steeple. A little more
steam was turned on, and the water reach
ed the top of the weather vsne, and still
not satisfied 1t went higher and higher un.
til 1t reached point at least thirty feet
above the vane, Then the engine was
tested with two lines Of hose, the second
DtluR ihlu uOWu MAIN, duu tue Tcbut was
equally as good. The final test was with
four streams Of water, and all went up
high enough 10 cover any building in town.
The engine was also tested at the canal
with very satisfactory results. The hose
used was the rubber lined hemp hose, and
1t stood the heavy pressure well. The
steamer is a beauty, and is undoubtedly
well made, for the Silsby has no superior.
The only difficulty in the matter will be to
get the engine TO fire without horses, as
it is very heavy.
The steamer is made by the Silsby Manu-.
featuring Company Of Seneca Falls, New
York, and is warranted for ten years. 1t
| will throw a stream 240 feet through an
inch and a quarter nozzle; two streams 200
feet through a seven-eighths inch nozzle
four streams 100 feet through five-eighths
inch nozzles. This is through 100 feet OF
hose. 1t will throw one stream 1870 feet
through 1000 feet OF hose with an inch noz
zle.

The Chatelaine watch.

The chatelaine watch is again coming
into favor for ladies' use. 1t is a dainty
me-piece, and one will not wonder at it
that indications show that 1t will be exten-
sively worn this season. Stylei in ladies'
watches change just as the forms Of their
dresses are revolutlonized. During the
coming winter one will frequently hear the
clanking of the chatelaine as lady passes,
which feebly suggests the presence of the
military. Bailey, Banks & Biddle of Phila-
delphis, say that in anticipation Of this be-
coming popular style they have given large
orders for chatelaines and have just receiv-
ed the first of the invoices.

Pensions! Veterans !
The Disability Pension Bill,

Act of June 81, 1890, grants pensions to
all ex-soldiers and sailors who served 80
days or more in the Army or Navy during
the rebellion, and were honorab'y discharg-
ed, and who are now suffering from any
permanent, mental or physical disability
contracted since the war or during the war
whether from disease, injuries or effects of
old age, at the rate Of from So to $l2 per
month, according to the degree of his dis
ability for the performance of labor requir-
ing the exertion Of physical strength
provided the disability is not due to yici-
Gus habits. This pension is not restricted
to the veterans who have to make their
living by hard labor, but is equally due to
professional men or clerks, provided they
have an existing disability which would
prevent the continuous exercise OF the
physical strength of an able-bodied man.
Those who have applied under the gen.
eral laws and who are unable to prove up
the pending claim can apply for and Sc
cure this pension and then continue the
prosecution of the former claim aud secure
their arrears.
II YOU are now drawing a small pension
say % or 81 per month, you can take this
pension instead, and IL you have an appli-
cation on file for increase or additional
pension for new disabilities you can con
tinue the prosecution Of such claims whi't
drawing the new pension, or you can fil'
an original claim for disability contract
| ed in the service while drawing pension
under this new act.
| Widows, children, and dependent moth
ers and fathers are entitled under this &C
and can suspend the prosecution of an!
pending claim, and take this pension, al'
afterwards complete the prior claim ant
| get arrears.
Having been duly appointed an Agen
according to the rules aud regulations o
the Department of the Interior 10 the pros
ecution of such claims and having had sue
! cess in number of cases am always pre-
pared to give information and assist claim
ants, and will assure them success IL the
