Some forty horsemen, and as many
hounds, assembled at Hare's Corner
on Monday to join In the fox hunt that
had been arranged to come Off on that
day. The fox, however, proved to be
too lame to run, and after making a
few leaps a boy gathered him up and
placed him in his former quarters,
where he will DO taken care of until
his Injured leg gets well, when he will
be liberated for chase. The hunters,
however, determined to have a run
and started OFF at a lively gait toward
the hills of White Clay creek, but the
dogs failed to raise a fox, and in few
hours they returned covered with
mud, although they all professed to
have enjoyed the trip very highly.

In conversation with some of the

not grasp the idea that the division of
the hundreds into two election pre-
cincts," for which they signed petit
| tions, meant the creation of two new
hundreds IN their county.

The grocery store of g. w. Lodge &
Son, at No, roo King street, was broken
into some time last night by thieves,
who evidently expected to reap rich
reward for their pains. They drilled
hole In the safe, which stands In tho
Office on the Seventh street side OF tho
building, and after filling it with pow.
der, lit the fuse. They were evidently
novices at the business, as the amount
of powder used caused aterrific explo.
sion. The door of the safe was torn
loose, and one side OF the Office almost
blown out, breaking nearly all the
glass. The noise made by the explo-
sion awakened so me of the neighbors,
and the would-be thieves, thoroughly
frightened, made their escape. Two
men, who are supposed to be the par.
ties, were seen to run from the vicinity
Immediately after the explosion.
When the store was opened this MORN
| ing goods, which were on the shelves
last evening, were found on the floor,
having been thrown down by the force
of the powder used on the safe. As
the clock was stopped at 4.16 O'Clock,
1t Is supposed that was the time when
| the safe was blown open. There was
over $50 lying In the safe, which the
thieves in their haste to escape left
untouched, but Mr. Lodge says they
are welcome to that II they will return
and put everything In as good order
as it was last evening.
