Bank Failure at Tyrone.

TYRONE, Pa, Dec. 22.-Tyrone is ex.
cited over the following notice found
pasted on the doors of the Tyrone bank:
"a drain on the resources compels the
bank to close for the present" When
the regular opening hour arrived and
the doors remained closed the citizens
started in search of the cashier and stock
holders-Claude Jones, G. Guyer, P.
Flynn and A. u. Hoover. 1t was found
that they had mostly left town, while
those remaining refused to be seen. The
deposits were mostly in small sums, but
the liabilities will reach $4,000. 1t is
thought that the bank will be able to
pay eighty cents on the dollar. The
failure will not affect any of the other
banks in town.

Fold Burglars Frustrated.

Snow HILL, Md, Dec. GA daring
but unsuccessful attempt at robbery was
made at the depot. which is also the
Adams express Office. The door Of the
building was eptered by boring out the
lock, and the large safe rolled out and
placed on hand car. The car was then
pushed up the track about a mile and
the safe was dumped into ditch. Tools
used by workmen on the railroad were
taken, and with. these an attempt was
made to break open the safe. The COM
bination lock was smashed and the safe
was battered in several places, evidently
by sledge hammer blows, but the parties
failed to reach the contents.

THE CHILEAN AFFAIR.
a Belief That There Ts Serious Worh
on Hand for Congress.

on dano Tor congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec 90. = The posi-
bility of some important communica-
tion in the Chilean question being ad-
dressed to congress either today or to-
morrow, when both houses, according to
programme, intended simply to meet for
the purpose of adjouruing for the Christ
mas recess, is a subject of earnest specu-
lation. II is known that Secretary
Blaine, both before and subsequent to
the Plumb obsequies, was closely en-
gagged with his own stenographer at his
residence, and even to visitors calling
for official consideration sent word that
he W too much engaged to see any one,
and must therefore be excused.
Not the slightest intimation as to
whether or not an important message ia
contemplated can be obtained. 1t is in
the nature of things that such move
ment, if under consideration, should be
kept the closest of state secrets.
AS the house is not in session today it
is likely that the first inkling of the
likelihood of any such contingency may
be given to the senate in the shape Of
intimation to be laid before that body
by President Pro TEN. Manderson or Sec.
retary Sherman, chairman of the com.
mittee on foreign relations.
1t is scarcely likely that congress will
be permitted to adjourn for two weeks
without receiving some preliminary
hints that correspondence involving the
issues of peace or war may soon beready
for it's consideration. That is to say, il
there are any existing Chilean compli.
cations of so serious character as
rumors indicate.

succeeds to the peerage, thus leaving a
vacancy in the house of commons for the
northeast division of Lancashire. The
duke was the descendant of distin-
guished ancestry, possessor of numerous
titles, patron of fine arts, owner OF
vast estates and one of the wealthiest
men in England.

Poisoned by Cream Pufns.

NoRRIsTowN, Pa, Dec 22.-Members
of the family Of ex-President of Town
Council Henry G. Wentz were made
deathiy sick by eating cream puffs. 1t
is understood the filing for the puffs
was prepared in copper vessel, and al
lowed to remain in it for some time be-
fore it was sandwiched between the two
layers of crust, and that the filling about
the edges Of the vessel became impreg-
mated with the copper, the poisonous i'm
pregnation not reaching to the central
part of the batch.

New YORK, Dec. 22l-The great in
ternational ting Of war tournament be-
gan last night in the Madison Square
garden. Nearly 10000 persons witnessed
the contests, among whom were the
well known pugilists, Jem Corbett,
Charley Mitchell and Frank P. Slavin.
The tournament was reported to be for
$500 in cash, divided proportionately
among the winners. A. o. Goucioura
was the referee and James E. Sullivan
and Samuel c. Austin the judges.
In selecting the teams Messrs. McNeill
and Sanderson, the promoters and man.
ayers Of the tournament, have chosen
men who are built like giants. They
have agreed to pay each competitor S. a
day during the week for his work and
will divide 81 900 in prizes among the
best teams--$500 to first, $500 to second,
$3.50 to third, and $50 to fourth.
The first contest was between the
Canadians and Norwegians. The con-
ditlons were that the men must pull un-
til one side or the other gained seven
feet of rope. The Canadians got the bet
ter of the drop, and maintained their ad-
vantage for nearly twenty-five minutes,
but after that it was plain the Norwe-
gians had all the endurance, and at the
end of twenty-nine minutes they had
pnlled the Canadians clear off their feet.
Ten brawny Scotchmen then toed the
mark against an equal number of Danes.
The Scotchmen had it all their way from
the start, and in little less than eight
minutes had the Danes off their feet.
Charley Mitchell's Disgust.
Then came the contest that naturally
excited the most interest of the evening.
To the strains of the "Star Spangled
Banner" ten magnificently developed
specimens of American manhood
marched to the front. They had as
opponents ten stalwart men who posed
as the representatives of England.
Everybody, of course, wanted to see the
lion get his tail twisted, and they did
The Englishmen lost their grip from
the start, but only succumbed after a

The Americans in this contest had {
clever system of "heave" which mean
two or three inches at every assault
Slowly but surely the rope was pulled
away from the Englishmen. At the enc
of half an hour the white ball showet
only two inches of the goal mark. Thert

IDAHO


Brander Matthews tells good story Of
the ethical influence of the east on the
wild and woolly west. A young Bos-
tonian, reared beneath the brow of Bea-
con Hill and educated at Harvard, went
to Texas and turned cowboy. He rapid
ly caught the spirit of the country and
as rapidly shook off the outward sem
blance of tenderfooted eastern habit

as wide as the widest, AZ caliber Colts on
his hips, he was wild as the widest. Yet
within his bosom still burned the flame
of Boston culture and refinement.
One day he was riding with a stranger
across the prairie. Turning his head
suddenly Che was slightly ahead) he saw
his companion make a suspicious motion
toward his hip pocket. Without hesta-
ton he drew his revolver and shot him.
The stranger dropped like a log, The
cowboy dismounted and looked at the
body Of his victim

Turning the body over, he discovered
flask Of whisky protruding from the
pocket.
Poor fellow" he said in a tone of re-
greet "Tve made mistake I've killed
an innocent man, and a gentleman at
that. He wasn't going to shoot me; he
was going to ask me to have drink.
Well" he sighed, drawing his sleeve
across his mouth, "the last wishes of the
deceased shall BE respected. Washing
