Blamed on the cooIeys.

The Cooley gang came out OF ftheir hiding
place last Thursday night and committed
another degradation. The house Of John A.
Walters, near Fairyiew, in Nicholson town
ship, was broken into by six masked men
and SAP in cash, a watch, 8 revolver and a
lot Of fine clothing were taken. The only
occupants of the house at the time were Wal
tiers and his wife and Jacob Cover, a relative.
All three are old people, being between 60
and 20 years OF age. The robbers, all wear
ing masks. entered the house by back door
and crept quietly to the bed rooms Of the
old people Before they could offer any re-
sistance they were seized, bound and gagged
and the house searched, but nothing was
found. When told there was nothing in
the house the outlaws procured lighted
lamp and held it al the feet OF their victims
in turn until the knowledge they desired
was extracted from them. one Of the rob
bers got e razor and fIourished il above their
prisoners heads declaring that he would cut
their throats if the money was not forth
coming. None Of the gang were recognized.
The Walters are well-tO-do people and gen.
orally have more money about than they
did on the occasion Of the gangs visit. Ma
ny Of the people in the vicinity are Of the
opinion that the Cooleys are not the guilty
parties this time.

pursuance TO the proclamations Of President
Harrison and Governor Pattison, fixed Fri

says, the schools should open as usual.
They may afterwards unite in any Of or all
the exercises Of the day. In addition to the
exercises by the pupils, he recommends ad-
dresses by prominent citizens and choral aEd
orchestral music.
Superintendent Waller says: A promi-
nent feature Of the day should be the plant

trees are the most desirable. Where il is
possible, let groves stand as memorials ol
the four hundredth Columbian anniversary
No Fall Arbor day has compared in interest
with this let it be fully improved"

Governor Mckinley concluded his al =
dress with a brilliant eulogy Of President
Harrison, who has given the country a
strong, wise and patriotic administration,
and who is so honest that his enemies trust
him.
The Governor, although much fatigued
with his work upon the stump, threw it all
aside as be warmed to his subject, and held
his audience many Of whom were veteran
Democratic oliticians-completely in hand
from the quietly spoken opening sentences
of his address to the close, when they rose
spontaneously to their feet and gave him an
ovation Of cheers.
Mr.. McKinley's explanation of the diff
ference between the platforms of the two
great political parties was so clear and lucid
that the youngest school boy in the audi
ence had no difficulty in understanding him.
His address was clean cut, logical argu-
ment and furnished his audience with food
for thought for yeas to come.
I'VE regret that We are unable to publish
the Governors address in full.-ED HER-

MamaIla of the State.

DR.. B. II. Warren, of West Chester, orni-
biologist of the State Board of Agriculture,
is preparinga report on the mamalia of the
State which will give full description of
the life history Of the Indigenous quodru-
peds of Pennsylvania. The work will show
what are beneficial in the way of destroying
insects, rats, mice and other vernin. A de-
tailed history viii also be given of all the
animals which are detrimental to the agri-
cultural and game interests Of the state.
This work is deemed necessary, DIR. War
ren says, by reason of the fact that the Leg
islature has passed several laws awarding
premiums for the destr notion Of animals be-
lieved to be detrimental, bat which in reali-
ty are serviceable to the farmer and fruit
grower.
