A yweIl Boston shosm.ker.


For several years there has been . COL
ored shoemaker on School street. He
has owned his little shop, which is big
enough for about four people to stand in
without noticeable discomfort. He is q
good looking young fellow, and there isn't
anything remarkable about him at first
sight. He has very good trade for q
small place, and his income is sufficient
to enable him to live comfortably. If
you go into his shop any time of the day
between 2 o'clock in the morning and
o'clock in the afternoon you will find him
seated on little stool with leather
apron on. His sleeves will be rolled up,
and he will be pegging away for dear
life.
II you 60 into the place at o'clock
and wait few minutes, you will pres
emily behold as novel spectacle as may
be witnessed in the city anywhere. You
win see that q gorgeous light overcoat
has been hanging on a peg in the wall
in q corner of the shop, and that pair
of flashing patent leather shoes have
been reposing in the same corner on the
floor, and that near by a big silver

For Honest Mems Rights.

That is rather fine point of law which
holds that man with burglars tools ON
his person, who goes up the steps of a
q dwelling house where he has no law
full business. has made an attempt to
commit burglary, but it is good law for
the protection Of the community. The
steps of q dwelling are private property,
and one who trespasses upon them with
unlawful purpose has committed an un.
lawful deed.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Feminine Superstition.

The elevator in one of the big news
paper offices was filed with men. One
woman, fashionably dressed, was pas
senger. Next her stood o hunchback-
an aged man, neatly dressed and shrink
ing as far as possible out Of notice. The
woman looked at him with thoughtful
air as II weighing vast possibilities. Sud
denly she leaned over and with the tip
Of her white gloved finger daintily
touched the hump Of her neighbor.
"What was that fory' one man asked
another in an undertone. "Don't you
know? For luck" was the answer.

fortune, is one of woman's pet supersti-
ns."-New York World.

A FARMER RELEASED
FROM ENTIRE LOSS OF VOICE.
Catarrhal Aphonia the Result of Chronic
Catarrh.
Better Late Than Never.

SHELLsBURG, BEDFORD Co., Pa.
THE PERUNA MEDICINE Col was a
sufferer from Catarrh in my head and throat.
/ doctored with one of the best physicians in
our place for that terrible disease and found
no relief. But in 1883 lost my speech,
and was not able to do any kind of work for
nearly three months. l could neither eat
nor sleep. Pe-ru-na did wonders for me,
and now am in better health than have
been in ten years.
Yours truly,
ISAAC NICoDEMUs.
Loss of voice in cases of catarrh Is due to
an extension of the disease to the larnyx. In
the progress of catarrh ON its way from the
throat to the lungs the first prominent symp-
tom is hOarseness, which shows that the dis
ease has reached the larnyx and vocal
chords.
symptoms of catarrh of the respiratory
tract differ according to the part affected. If
the catarrh is confined to the nose the symp-
toms will be sneezing and mucus dis
charges, or the formation Of dry scabs cor
responding to the stage of the disease.
When in the phanyx it causes hawking,
enlarged follicles and tonsils, and sometimes
deafness; in the larhyx it produces hoarse-
ness, and often entire loss of voice, as in the
above case. AS soon as the catarrh reaches
the trachea and bronchial tubes, cough.
with abundant mucous expectoration, en-
sues. Upon reaching the lungs catarrh
speedily causes consumption, and all of the
symptoms of that dread disease follow
sooner or later. Catarrh also attacks the
urinary tract, producing in the kidneys
"Bright's disease" in the bladder chronic
cystitis, and in the uretha small, frequent
and painful urinary passages. Pe-ru-na is a
specifd for catarrh wherever located and in
all its stages.

he door- of the Office about half past
seven O'clock, and for a short time d
good many disappointed members
were present. There were no explane-
ton upon he part of the officers, as
nothing WIS known to explain. 1t
was learned that Secretary Myrose
has on hand some of the money that
recently had been paid in. The books
were opened for inspection. All dur
ing the evening the duped members
gathered together in little knots and
discussed the matter among themselves.
No action relative to any proce dure
was taken. This morning Secretary
Myrose went TO Philadelphia, taking

To-day Judge Butter viii appoint a
Receiver to wind up the affairs of the

A copy Of the Pittsburg Post, has

is stated that members of the Law
rercevitle Branch, near them, have de-
cided to accept no compromise. All
their money is demanded, and if it fails
TO cotne it has been decided to prose-
cute tho oficers in Philadelphia under
the criminal laws.
A number of disgruntled members of
the Bridgeton Branch have charged the
PIONEER with the responsibility of
breaking up the order. OF course the
influence of this paper all throughout
Pittsburg is something phenominal,
and it must have been sthrough the
PIONEER that the injunction sent was
brought. Again il has been openly as
serted that tie PIONEER has been well
paid for its efforts in exposing the
fraud. lis only necessary to say that
the only money seen by the PIONEER
in relation to this matter, is the money
offered it by the officers of the local

HE "Press: aud the People

On Sunday the Philadelphia Press
devoted an entire page OF its mammoth
paper 10 showing up Gloucester and
its uncrowned King, Billy Thompson.

tables in the Continental billiard
rooms. He then became bar tender,
and later kept 2 hotel ia Gloucester.
His reign as King" Of Gloucester,
began less than ten years ago. Politi-
cally he is power, governing the city

county officials. H has decided in
fiuence as a Democrat, with the State

and lives in house costing quarter
of million OF dollars.
Gloucester is now the dumping place

RAILROAD FERRY FIRE.
A 100000 Fire fD Camden satur-
day Night.

SHORTY after half past o'clock Sat
urday night, fire was discovered in the
conductors room of the Reading Rail-
road Company, adjoining the Kaighn's
point ferry slips, and in less than one
hour the entire property, including
the three slips and eight coaches were
destroyed. The loss is more than
10000.
fhe hre was discovered by Edward
N. kafghn. night train dispatcher for
the Reading Railroad. After he had
tapped off The 80 Gloucester train he
ascended the stairs and smelled smoke.
He found the room of Superintendent
Blood all right, but found the fire in
the conductors room. BE gave the
alarm. Joseph F4rley, Policeman
Harvey, Abraham Mines, and several
others, attempted to use the hose
about tha ferry, but before they could
secure a stream they were driven back
badly burned.
The flames spread TO the waiting
room of the railroad company, and in
a short time the Chestout street slips
were abiaze. The waiting room was
the next to go, followed by the two
South Street Ferry slips and the off,
ces of President Zophar C Howell and
superintendent Herbert G. Felton,, of
the kaighns' Point Ferry Company.
The Fire Department reeponded
promptly, but was unable to prevent
the spread of lie flames. Three alarms
summoned the entire department. A
shifting engine removed the passenger
'aches, while citizens pushed several
other cars ca. OF danger. In spite of
their efforts five parlor cars, built by
the Pullman Company, valued at S.
600 were destroyed with other prop
erty, valued at $4,000. The flames
| spread so rapidly that Evan N. Fox,
night ticket agent. was caught in his
office and narrowly escaped death.
In his efforts to get out he was badly
burned. Couplings we're cut off, the
three threeyinch gas mains which sup
piled the companies with gas for the
boats and cars. The gas ignited and
the flames shot up into the air for &c
| feet.
The burned buildings were 125 deer
by 300 feet wide, and had been built
but two years. All of the valuable
| papers OF Doth companies were burned
up. Neither of the Superintendent
were able to give the amount of insur.
ance. but they thought the losses
would be covered.

THE SMITH MURDER.
South Jeasey Witnesses Appear
in the Case.

Salem has had witness in the cele.
brated Emma Phitzepmair murder
case in Media, Pa. II was John Tay
lor, a young man. He testified that:
He said he met and knew Emma
for some time afterwards in Salem n.
j, He thought great deal of her at
one time and she also appeared to be
in love with him. She considered him
a beau up to little over a year ago.
He visited her, he said, after she came
to Chester and when she was in Phila.
delphia after leaving Salem. His last
visit to her waslin Chester on July Goth
last. They corresponded with each
O. her for some time. He thought she
was very fond of him.
WAS there any disagreement be.
tween you after this?''
THE. only disagreement was that
she wanted to get married and 1 did
not"
did she make any threats after this?"
Yes, sir; last fall she threatened to
kill herself, and after left 1 thought
perhaps she might do it. She was of
a very jealous disposition.
Carrie Klein, of Salem, N. j., said
she knew Emma for three years. She
lived with friend of hers there. She
had seen her and John Taylo together
number of times. Emma made a
confident of her. and to her she bsd
expressed her love for young Taylor.
The last she saw of Emma was in
Chester on the Goth of last November.
On one occasion when going to church,
she expressed herself as wishing she
was dead.

DCGM IN JAZZ.

Held For C0UEt ON Two Charges.
Ebenezar Duck, is O. disconsolate col
ored man. If he could really bring
himself about to believe what he says,
he certainly would feel that he was
greatly imposed upon.
After spending Easter Sabbath in
the uninviting Jail, far from the in
fuences of egg-nogg and other Easter
exercises, he came out in the Sheriff's
Office and faced stern Justice Samuel
W. Wells, who sat dignifed behind a
a small table.
1t was an interesting crowd in the
room listening to the procee dings, and
in all the number there was not one
friend Of the Duck, who controlled
sufficient property I'd become his
bondsman, in the sum of $780,
Duck is big, heavy fellow, with a
rather dangerous CLEAN in his eye, and
he cody seated himself in a chair near
the Justice, apparently he had little
respect for the Justice, as he did not
remove his hat during the entire pro-
ceedings.
The charge of assaulting George L.
Moore was read to him, and Duck
pleaded not guilty. The evidence was
then given by MIR. Moore, and his
father~in-law, Joseph Brooks, and
in detail was precisely as given by the
PIONEER alone yesterday. No other
witnesses were called. Duck broke in
once or twice during the testimony
with 'You is sure mistaken" but after
the testimony the prisoner declared be
guess he would say nothing.
The Justice held him in 5000 bail,
which he was unable to procure, when
he was led back to prison.
Before he had reached his cell the
Sheriff was called upon to bring him
back, and Duck again took his chair
near the Justice.
This time he was called upon to
answer a charge of resisting and oh.
structing Constable johnson in the
lawful discharge of his duties. To this
charge Mr.. Duck replied that he did
do that and said further "rll tell you
how that was." Justice Wells did not
want to know, however, and after
Ducks pleading guilty he held him for
his appearance at court in the sum of
$500 bail.
When Duck was taken back to
prison a PIONEER reporter asked him
who was with him on Saturday night.
His reply was that he was alone and
further he did not strike Moore, in fact
was not on North Laurel street during
the entire evening, and it was all a
case of mistaken identity.
Bail is not likely to be Forthcoming
in this case and Duck will probably be
found in Jail when the time comes for
the court to hear his case.

A Big Purchase.

John M. Moore, of Clayton has en-.
tered into contract for the purchase of
the Franklin Lake at Franklinville,
which is the true terminus of the
Maurice river. Mr.. Moore, who spent
between $50,O00 and 800, in cIea,.
ing off several thousand acres of
swampy land and making it into
meadows, is unable to farm the rich
meadows on account of the water,
which covers the land about eight
months in the year, and the object of
purchasing the lake is TO drain these
meadows by raising the flood gates.
AS soon as clear title is received Mr..
Moore will take exclusive charge.
