A Tree Fnll Of Money i.

USIoNrowN, Pa, March 3.-The
neatest bunco trick ever played in
this part of the State euchred Jacob
Prirkey, Wharton township farmer
who dosen't believe in banks. out of
5000. A week ago a well dresssd,
polite young man called at his house
and saying that he was an engineer
surveying a railroad, ask for board.
Mr.. Prinkey took the stranger in,
and was soon captivated by his
pleasant manners. The stranger as
he WAS about to depart on Tuesday
morning, told Farmer Prinkey that
he had the same dream every night
he had slept in his house. He said
he had dreamed that in a certain
tree on Prinkey's farm there was
hidden great wealth. The farmer
wss at once interested and said they
would go and chop the tree down
When tho tree fell, sure enough out
rolled some $4,000 in shiny silver
dollars. E.ch took half. just then
the stranger remembered that SC
much silver would be heavy to carry
and asked the farmer to give him
$1,000 in paper money for his share
of the find. Prinkey handed ovs-
the money, but yesterday all his sill
yer dollars had turned blue They
were tin and lead, and had been put
in the tree by the bunco man.

Committee Meeting.

Under private call issued by the
chairman of the Republican county
committee, nearly one third of the
members of that body met in this
town, last Saturday afternoon, for
the purpose of nominating a delegate
to the Minneapolis Republican Ma
tional convention. Carl F. Espen-
schade was the only candidate before
the COMMITTEES, and he was unani-
mously nominated, subject to the
decision of the Lowistownc conference
for the 1StA Congressional district,
to meet April Il, next. He was Civ
en- the privilege of selecting his con-
ferees, and the conferees that ne may
choose are empowered to act as cen
ferees from this county, on all other
business that may be brought before
the LewistOwn conference. The ques-
ton of the election of an United
States Senator, was informally dis
cussed. Several members of com.
mittee desired to have the question
brought to a vote at the next primary
election, for or against, Senator
Quay. Others thought it not the
proper thing to draw the line on
one man in that way, and they favor
ed submitting the question of the
election Of a United States Senator.
at the next primary election to the
voters, to whomsosver they NAV
choose to vote for The question of
securing an expression Of the prefer
ence Of majority of the Republican
voters of the county for candidate
for Supreme Judge, was talked over,
but that. like the question of the
candidacy of an Uaited States Sena-
tor was not determined, but laid ov-
er for the next meeting of the coun-
ty committee to act on.

Great Is Science.
From the Scranton Tribune

From the Scranton Tribune.
A new theory of impending des-
truction of the earth has been sprung
upon us A scientific estimate of the
weight of our little planet has been
made and also of the weight OF the
human bodies that lave been born
and have lived on it from the begin
ming Of creation. II is found that
these two are about equal, so that all
the material of tho world is compos-
ed of the remains of human bodies.
From this it is argued that the pur-
pose OF creation has been fulfilled
and when the resurrection takes
place-an overt not far of-the
earth will vanish, since the raised
bodies will carry off all its substance
and loave behind them a vacant
place where the planet now is Great

From the Minneapolis Tribune.

"O!Unc' Ned" WAS up charged
with stealing four hams. They
had been found in his possession,
and as there was no getting around
that Unc Ned sought other means
Of defense.
"Ya as, youah Honah, / NIT dat
dey was foun' In my house. But
pom my oat', sab, didn't steal 'em. u
"Unc' Ned was short, thick set
man, with handy legs, a short beard
on his chm and an unctuous smile,
which he now turned on "his Honah''
and the court room.
"You see, youah honah, on de
night in question, 1 was walkin'
home along de railroa' track. 1t was
purity dark. sab, an I couldn' see
very fur. NJ den just all at once,
sab, man 'ppeared befoh me. Lor'

"Aud what did this man do, Uncle
Ned ?" inquired the Judge.
"Well, sab, l dunno viewer you'll
b'lieye it or no sab, but dat man he'd
foh bundles undah his ahm'n'-"
(Which arm ?"
"Foh God, sab, 1 can't quite dis
remember, but it must We hees off

w'ero 1 was staadin' n he says, saws
be, Say 'Unc' Ned, heah's foh hams.
N L 'spose, youah honah now dat L
see how ebaryt'ing was; dey was de

Now wen dat man says, 'Heah's foh
hams I didn't say nothin' De

but dat dldn' slider me. But wen ne

like any colohed gemmen would
But how do you 'spose dat L CD tell
dey was stolen hams, sab, is what
] w'd lax t know?" And thus 'Unc'
Ned concluded his defense, and took
ais ssat, assuming n very grieved ex-
preston.
Describe the man who met you
and told you to take care of the hams
for him, said the Judge.
"Wa 81, said Unc' Ned, slowly,

the ceiling to help his memory. Its

bing himself as accurately as anyone
could have done.
Then there was o roar in the court
room, but "Unc' Ned" was finally &C
quilted, as no one could prove that
he had committed the theft.

Another Warning,

Chambersburg Repository March 2,
1892 While MIR. Louis Deatrick, Of
Hagerstown was pouring coal oil in
to stove in which he supposed
there was no fire, the can exploded,
breaking all the window panes in
the room and setting fire to Mr..
Deatrick's clothing. He had the
presence of mind not to run into the
open air, but he rolled on the floor
tearing his clothes from his body.
He was, however very seriously
burned. His body from the waist
down, and both hands and legs were
burned, his hands very badly 50. His
condition is critical
This should be another warning
no to start fires by pouring oil upon
them. A small spark may be in the
wood and ignite the oil causing an
explosion.

6 6Confsress
BY order of
d p. HIGGISs,
District Chairman

District Chairman.
The above order is just the kind
Of an order that it was predicted
would be issued whom the Lewistown
conference of some weeks ago pro.
poseda change sf system in the 18th
Congressional district for the nomi-
nation of Congressman and so forth
It was then said that the few men
behind the mask would shove Hig
gins forward rs a littls Gar to die
tate t. the whole district, ana the
prediction has been fulfilled. The
Lswistown conference of some time
ago was cautious enough to say that
the new system as they proposed it
with Higgins thrown in, should be
submitted to the people of the re-
publican party of the several counties
In the dis trict for their approval or
rejection. But Higgins thought it
too risky thing to submit the
question to the people of the district
as to whether they will have change
of presentation and whether they
will have district chairman to
crack the political whip over them.
He thought he might be left out
on party vote and his masters who
stand behind his little throne thought
that if the question of change of
system for nominating candidates
for Congress would be submitted to
the people of the party that their
little game would not go through, so
they determined to go step further
and just adopt the system themselves
with Higgins in it, and that is what
the above call of Gar Higgins means.
1t means that it is the conference of
Higgins and his masked masters.
Higgins is determined to ride while
he has the chance, like the boy who
was shiverlng on a ride on mule,
"Get off, shouted some by standers
as they read the distorted and un-
happy face of the boy as he shiver
ingly trotted past. "Nol" he yelled
back, "this is a stolen or borrowed
mule and I'll ride if 1 freeze"
Higgins and his friends will ride
their borrowed or stolen authority
to next November election if they
freeze.

The former class might as we'll &C
