GRowING IN MAGNITUDE.

Mr.. ]. W. Bishop, the headquarters
for wood and coal, and wholesale groc-
cries and notions, started here twenty
years ago, and his business has been
growing in magnitude from year to
year until we can safely assert that il
is one of the largest, if not the largest
house of its kind in the Cumberland
Valley. Mr.. Bishop, the proprietor,
always honorable, energetic, and ac-
eommodating, is much respected in our
city and neighboring towns, where his
goods are sold. He is an example Of
what men can accomplish with am
pie credit, and an experience of many
years. He is enabled to buy in any
market where bargain is to be found,
thus securing for the merchants who
buy of him the lowest prices, and the
customers of the retail merchant are in
turn benefited. Who can point to a
more enyiable and remarkable bust
ness career AS citizen he is fore
most in the ranks Of enterprise, and
always on the alert for our city's in
terests. Several of our largest and
best enterprises bear evidence Of this
fact.

4 POISONER OF GIRLS
THE LONDON MURDERER WHORIvALS
JACK THE RIPPER. !
HIS DOSES LARGE ENOUGH TO KILL
SEVEN OR EIGHT PERSONS THE
MURDERER Ar LARGE.


LONDON, May l6.--Just d month
ago Alice Marsh and Emma Shriyell,
two young women of decent family
and loose morals, were found dying in
their lodgings in Stamford street,
Blackfriars. They lived just long
enough to state that mysterious pa
iron, whom they knew as George Cliff
ton, gave them three long pills and
that they became i'll Immediately after
taking them.
A post-mortem examination proved
that each pill contained three grains
of strychnine, so that the girls actual
~ swallowed between them nine grains
Of deadly poison, or sufficient to kill
at least seven or eight persons. There
is no room for doubt that these young
women were foully and deliberately
murdered, and mass Of circumstantial
evidence points to the conclusion that
George Clifton was the murdered.
THE MURDERER STILL AT LARGE.
But, although this man, who is APP
parently in good social position, was
seen in the girls company upon more
than one occasion, and by quite half
a dozen persons, and although the
police have in their possession letter
written by him to Miss Marsh, dated
from the hotel at Chatham, he il still
at large. The probabilities are that
he will never be arrested except pos
sibly in connection with some fresh
crime.
A RIVAL or JACK THE RIPPER.
1t is believed that he murdered a
girl named Ellen Donworth, who was
found dying in a tavern near Stamford
street, last October, from the effects
Of strychnine and morphine given to
her in glass of wine by a casual ac-
quaintance answering Clifton's descrip-
ton. London newspapers have re-
ported in perfunctory fashion fire.
quently adjourned inquest on the SIAM
ford street victims, but they have
quite failed to grasp the fact that
there is at this moment at large in this
big city another atrocious criminal,
differing from the Whiteehapel fend
only in methods Of work. London
newspapers seem to require blood and
mutilation to stimulate them into APP
probation Of a great crime.

Preliminary to the Baptism.

When Bishop Goe, of Melbourne, was
a curate a famous pugilist in the parish,
who went by the name of Jim the Slog-
ger and who had never darkened a
church door, called at the parsonage
asking him to baptize the baby Ac-
cordingly the bishop repaired to Jim's
house, but was surprised on being adj
mitted to see Jim lock the door and
pocket the key. "Be you the parson
come to sprinkle my kid?' he asked. On
the bishop asserting, he continued, eyer
can't sprinkle that kid till you and me
has had fight, parson."
The unfortunate parson protested, but
finding protest useless ssstood up" to
Jim. The battle went for the bishop,
and Jim, pulling himself from the floor,
muttered, Hes the parson for me-"
The baptism was proceeded with and,
as the story goes, Jim took to church
going from that day.-Pall Mall Gazette.
