BEAVER FALLS, Pa, Feb. ga desper
ate fight between police officials and three
toughs, supposed to be burglars, took
place here last night As result two
men are dying and two others are badly
wounded. At about o'clock Officers
Cornell and Greene noticed three men try
ing to dispose of some razors on Fifth
street. The two policemen approached the
men and told them to consider them
selves under arrest. The desperadoes an.
swered by pulling out self-cocking revol-
vers, which they began firing at the po-
licemen. Officer Cornell fell on the pave
ment with a bullet through his groin, but
returned the fire at the retreating men.
FusiIlade of Cold Lead.
In the meantime Officer Greene opened
fire and at least dozen shots were eX-
changed. One of the desperadOes ran into
a restaurant, where one of his companions
had already sought safety. Officer Greene
followed and demanded that he surrender,
and both burglars again opened fire on the
officer, and in some manner the lights
were extinguished. Greene managed tG
dodge three shots and succeeded in shoot
ing one man through the mouth and the
other through the right breast. The men
then ran out of the restaurant and disap-
peared
A Dying Burglar Captured.
By this time large crowd gathered on
the street, and the burglar who began the
shooting was captured. Twenty minutes
later the police We're notified that man
was dying on doorstep on Eighth avenue
The dying man was found to be one of the
men who opened fire on the officer in the
restaurant. He was taken to the engine
house, but refused to divulge his name.
The doctor says he cannot recover. The
man arrested was shot through the arm
and wrist. The man who was shot through
the mouth and who Is the worst injured
has not been found, and is supposed to
have fallen somewhere near the scene OF
the shooting.
Warned the Police of Danger.
Officer Cornell who was shot in the
groin is not dangerously injured and will
probably recover. The three men came
here day or two ago and are supposed to
hail from Pittsburg, but it Is believed that
they are the same gang who have been
robbing stores at Niles. o. All were
heavily armed and just before the attempt
to arrest them they sent word to the police
that the first man who tried it would be
shot down. How well they carried ont
their threat is shown by their subsequent
acts. The bravery shown by the two Of.
ficers is unparalleled in the police history

Talking of patent medicines

Talking of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors-some of
them are between you and US.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
e0c1ytAzng and SO, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
stuff, you lose faith in c5c,y-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do-you

QUINN's EXCUSE.

1t Failed to Work, and He Was Held
to Answer.
In the Police Court yesterday Joe
Quinn was examined on the charge of
having robbed Andrew Larsen of a purse
containing $50 65.
Larsen testified that he came to this
city from Knights Landing last Satur-
day and fell in with a crowd who intro
duced him to a number of Front-street
saloons, and succeeded in getting him so
drunk that he knew very little of what
happened subsequently. He thought,
however, that he identified Quinn as a
man who robbed him.
Deputy Sheriff Newbert, who hap
pened to be in the vicinity of Second and
l. streets later, testified he saw Larsen
lying drunk and saw Quinn and another
put his hand into Larsen's pocket, re-
moved the purse and made off, but was
shortly after arrested.
Quinn madea statement acknowledging
that he took Larsen's purse, but said he
did it to place it in a saloon for safe keep
ing-that he was drunk himself and not
very clear headed.
Judge Cravens thought the evidence
sufficiently clear TO hold Quinn to answer,
as charged, and he was committed to bail
in the sum OF $500.
Larsen, the prosecuting witness, having
no fixed place of residence, was also re-
Quired to give bonds in 500 to insure his
presence at the trial in the Superior
Court, in default of which he, too, will be
committed to Jail.

It will be observed from examination
of this profile that the levee is 10 higher
than at its lowest point, that if it is raised,
as it should be, to a tive-foot level, it will
be but one foot two inches Of addition at
the highest point near r street,, but
three feet at the bridge, and less than two
feet at Seventh street.
When the level is brought to the five
foot line at the outside and the 1evee is
graded back upon Front street, the in
cline will not be so great as the ordinary
browning of a high-graded street. An
actual measurement made yesterday at
the foot of * street shows that if the
levee were raised at its edge five feet at
that point, the grade back to X street
would be SO gentle as to be of no moment
whatever.
The question of levee Improvement has
been taken up by the Trustees in q spirit
that promises to give us the results that
the people desire. There is every reason
to believe that steps will be taken by these
authorities TO put on foot legal processes,
if need be, by which the raising of the
levees can be accomplished at once. The
offer of the railroad company TO raise its
tracks and assist in the desired improve
ment goes far toward bringing about the
fortification that will give security to
property and permanency to and enlarge
ment of industries, which capital will not
aid so long as belief is entertained out
side the city that our levee defenses are
insufficient, and which belief it cannot be
