BUNKER HILL EXCITED. Tuesday
night, Miss Rachel Bell, highly re-
spected lady ofBunker Hill occupying
a room in the house of Mr.. Ed. Hen

awakening put her hand out CT bed
and was terrified on touching the form
OF man. She screamed and lcaped
out of bed and ran to the rooms occu-
pied by the rest of the family. Search
was made but the person had fled. In
the room were the clothes Of man,
which were recognized as belonging
to a colored man named Boyd Hen
derson, living with his mother in the
village. The next day the town and
fields were secured by an excited
crowd, some armed, and towards

the hog pen and told him 10 come out

was not armed, Upon coming out he
was found to be Henderson, aud I'M
dressed with the exception of
blanket. Justice SwImley heard the
evidence and committed hinl for
Court. Constable Cline brought him
to Jail. When asked why he was in
the house ne said he didn't know how
he got there. If he was bent on rob-
berry or intended rape, it was queer
action TO be found undressed at that
hour. AS far as known he has no
bad reputation.

sportiest sports along with Mr.. Sam.
Fuller, Of the Baldwin House, went
over TO Martinsburg to try the afore-
said Fuller as a Splinter against GER
tain Mr.. Charles Grant, who claimed
Winchester as his home. A visit was
made to the ground laid out, and
Messrs. Grant and Fuller were in
troduced to each other and coyly
shook hands as total strangers. In
the meantime all kinds of lavish bet
ting was INDUCED in, and money was
pulled ont regardless of expense. The
race was run. At the home stretch
the collar button of Grant was observ-
ed protruding and he held his lead to
the wire, and took down the stake,
amounting some say to $1,000, but
you don't have to believe this. This
made the Hagerotown boys feel rath-
er unwell, but they stood by Fuller

with hat full of money, the netting

THE LAST THURSDAY
Of the Great Show at the Point and
Cappa's Excellent Music.
TWO MORE DAYS LEFT THIS YEAR
In Which to Enjoy the Many Attractions
of the Exposition.
SOME OF THE PRETTY THINGS TO SEE

To-day is the final Thursday of the Expo
sition of 1891, and only two more days re-
main of the great entertainment at the
Point. According to Cappa, yesterday was
Royal Arcanum Day, and red flag sus-
pended by the band stand announced that
fact. All good Arcanum people were
present, and it was so crowded in the evening
that small girl said she couldn't see the
toes of her shoes for two hours. Music
suitable for to-day which is designated
"All American" day has been arranged by
Cappa, and the leader himself will be heard
on the trombone at the evening concert.
Everybody likes to hear Cappa play.
The souvenir art catalogues were posted
Yesterday to the artists in town and the
owners of pictures now hanging in the gal
lerv. They are the same as those sold to the
public for 10 cents, except that the covers
are of morocco and very pretty.
Apropos of this it has been funny to see
some of our out-of-town relations inspect
ing the pictures on the walls aided by copies
of last years catalogue. Afterward they
cautiously compared their catalogue with
the new one to see if their simplicity was
not being taken advantage Of Some spec
tators facetiousiy retaliate by saying that it
is these same people who buy milk, eggs
and chickens in town for the use of their
summer boarders.
To return to the music, tomorrow classi-
cal music will be played, while Saturday
will be devoted to "pieces" that will please
all people. Again, by request, the enter
tanning descriptive selection, "Battle of
Gettysburg" was played by Cappa's band
last evening, meeting with the same pleas.

as attractive as any to be found down at the
"Point," is picturesquely arranged, and is
practical in every sense of the word. With
out entering into details regarding the

organs and aolians carried by Mellor &
Hoene. From the moment the visitor enters

tones of the unapproachable Hardman and
Krakauer pianos, which resound through

simply very good reliable instruments have
become the favorites, from their undoubted
superiority. There is also full display of
the notable pianos manufactured by Kra-
kauer, Vose and Harrington; as to reed or

ADEMAND FOR MINERS
Idle Men In This District Can Find
Plenty of Work Elsewhere.
MONEY COMING ON FOR STRIKERS.
The Plan Fer Meetings of Employers and
Employees Takes Root.
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS

Only three days remain of the time al
lowed by the coal operators for the miners
to return to work. The first of next week
is the time set for filling up the mines with
foreign workmen, and it begins to look as
though the threat would be carried into ex-
ecution, for it was reported at the miners
headquarters last night that F. L. Robbins
had taken 80 men to Willow Grove.
But the miners are not sleeping. Presi-
dent Costello yesterday received letter
from the Jacksonville Coal Company at Co.
lumbus, which read:
Can you send us some miners? There is
great demand for good men in this district,
and you have been recommended to us as
being in position to select the best men.
We could probably use 100 men here, and
others could find employment near us.
President Costello said the men would be
sent Immediately. "We are preparing for
a vigorous fight" said he eff the operat-
ors prefer to fill up their mines with riotous
foreigners and the community will submit
to that kind of a proceeding, it is not for us
20 prevent them. Our men will
find employment elsewhere Just as
fast as they are shut out at home.
1heN NOluDDuS leUleT Is only one OF many Sucn
letters received in the last few days. 1 am
sure have had applications for 500 men,
hut We do not want to send them away I'm
I'll we are sure they cannot get work here"
Mr.. Costello said the funds are now be-
ginning to come in rapidly to aid the min
ers, and last night committees were sent out
in every direction to confer with the men
and encourage them to stand firm. Presi-
dent Costello still insists that this is the
most complete strike in this district and
claims that as soon as rise in the river
comes the fight will be easily won. The
lake trade will soon be supplied and as soon
as that is down the fight will center here.
The operators did not seem to take kindly
TO the proposition of President Rae to have
the men granted the advance so far as it re-
lates to the home trade, and submit the re-
mainder of the present issues in dispute to
an arbitration committee. They, on the
contrary, propose to fight for the old agree
ment, if it takes until May next, when a
new scale is to be arranged.

Fine Lamps, Fine China.

Attention should be called, now that the
time to view the exhibit is nearly passed, to
the fact that Cavitt, Pollock & Co. have a
magnificent stock of phenomenally fine
china, cut glass table ware and lamps which
they are displaying at the store, 935 Penn

while they carry all the ware needed in

chance at the new and elegant fall stock,
and naturally greater variety, although
they are all the time receiving the latest
novelties at 935 Penn avenue.
