NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS

ALTOONA, Nov. 25.-Last week one
| evening during the absence Of Mr.. g. I.
Holsinger, who lives near Ore Hill, his wife,
who was alone with her three children,
noticed man standing in the road in front
of the house, but, supposing it to be some
person passing by, she paid no further at
tention to him until she saw him in the yard
behind the house; but, supposing it was
some neighbor on an errand, she lit lamp
and seated herself at a table.
She was, however, soon surprised to
notice man looking in at the window, yet
she supposed that some neighbor, perhaps
was looking in to see if her husband was at
home, and as the man disappeared she re
sumed her work. But soon after the man
appeared again, gazed in at the window for
q moment and disappeared. Thethought that
some william might have known that they
had 81, 900 in the house with which to make
q payment on farm recently purchased now
terrified her. Alone with three small
children, about one-eighth of a mile from her
nearest neighbor, what to do she knew not.
Again the face appeared at the window,
and by pushing the lamp up close to it she
noticed that the man was masked and that a
revolver cleaned from his coat pocket She
hurrledly caught up her Two smallest
children, and, followed by the Oldest,
nearest neighbor, James McGregor, and
notified him of what had happened.
Mr.. McGregor, with Mr.. Holsinger,
a young school teacher, hurried to the
scene of the trouble, and on their way
met Mr.. Holsinger, who was on his way
home. The three searched the house, but
found no one in it, but upon investigating
if anything was missing, they found that
trunk in which 5000 was kept had been ran
sacked.
Fortunately the thief, in his hurry, failed
to find the money, it having been hid in
some clothing Four hundred dollars more
was undisturbed in another part of the
house. Mrs. Holsinger is now confined to
her bed as q result of the shock. The
would-be thief was evidently some person
who knew considerable of Mr.. Holsinger's
business affairs.

POSTPONED FOR A WEEK.

j. p. witherow s. Co.'s Creditors Want to
Years Stay Asked.
The creditors of J. P. Witherow & Co.
met in the Lewis Block yesterday to con-
slider a proposition of extending the time
for four years. The decision was post
poned until next Wednesday, and in the
meantime a committee appointed will
examine the books and determine
the assets to their satisfaction.
Mr.. King, of Jones & Laughlins, pre-
sided The company has aboat 100 creditors,
and fully 75 were present. D. T. Watson,
the attorney for Mr.. Witherow, was on hand.
A statement was read showing that the
firms debts amount to $273, 225 63, and the
assets were estimated at 1868, 744 IS. The
company asked for four-year extension, with
six per cent interest, one fourth to be paid
annually. The creditors were favorably
disposed, but it was deemed best to appoint
a committee Of their own to determine
whether the assests are correct or not.
Those appointed were Mr.. King, D. M.
Atwood, of Atwood g. McCaffrey, Denny
Mcknight and George B. Berger, Of
Ramly & Berger, New Castle.
After the meeting Receiver Thompson
said Charles J. Lockhart held first mort
gage for S75, 900 against the company. This
is not included in the liabilities given. He
stated that the mortgage would also have to
be extended or the creditors wouldn't be
satisfied. He considers the New Castle
plant a very valuable piece Of prop
erty. He is running part of it
to I'LL the contracts on hand. When he took
hold Mr.. Witherow owed his men $14 600.
This sum has been paid. He thinks If the
company were properly managed that it
could pay its debts in four years.
George L. Refs and E. G. Darley, the
Southern representative, returned to Ken
lucky last evening. Mr.. Refs
said that if Mr.. Witherow's statement
had been properly prepared that every cred
itor present would have signed the papers
and the company could have resumed opera
tions at once He thinks that everything
will be Strengthened out at the meeting in.

The Constitution of the State of New York
prescribes, in article g. section 4. that: IAN
enumeration of the inha bitants of the State
shall be TAKEN under the direction Of the
Legislature, in the year 1885, and at the end
of every ten years thereafter" This man
date, Incorporated in the Constitution to Sc
cure equal representation of the people in
the Legislature, has been defied and disre-
garded for the past six years. The enumera-
ton due in 1885 was not made. The Legisia-
ture IhslsteQ upon complete ana cosby
census. The Governor, a part Of the law
making power, maintained that a simple
enumeration of the Inhabitants" as re-
quired by the Constitution, WAS sufficient.
But the mandate stood. The obligation was
q continuing one.
Yet year after year Republican Legisla-
lures neglected to perform ther duty. Last
winter the Democratic Assembly passed an
enumeration bill so fair that even partisan
criticism was silent before IL. 1t was SUI.

number of their respective inhabitants. !"
The State has not been reapportioned
