They are in denominations of $1, $2, s, S10 and SEQ, and S,OOO of the commercials will be furnished for $500 in good money. The one selected for n victim is urged to go to New York and Ii the goods are not as represented his ex- penses will be paid. \ pass word and number are given with instructions to send all telegrams to ]. B. Done. 292 West 123d street New York, who will arrange for n place of meeting upon receiving tele- | gram saying ''send me instructions, and | signed with the password and the sender s | number.

Act square. be true and nonprable. bo hie no harm and you will never regret it as long as you live. Except I give you permission never write me letter. as I will refuse tc receive it and then it will go back to tho postoffice and be returned to you, probably opened. So be cautious. l earnestly re quest that you will treat this matter cont dentally; mention it to nobody. If it doe' not suit you, destroy this letter.

A NOVEL FIGHT.
Railroad Employees Driven or by Stream
 From Chemical Engine.

ALTOONA, Pa, Oct. 9-Quite lively fight is on between the Pennsylvania Rail road company and the little borough of BellwOod, seven miles east of this place The borough has for some time past been engaged in laying waterpipe line into the town and through the streets, and at pres. ent the work is about complete, with the exception of making the connecting link under the tracks of the railroad.
 This the borough authorities attempted to do, but the railroad company set a gang of men to work digging trenches parallel with the tracks and running Il tunnel rln- der the tracks, which they intended filling with water.
 The borough authorities attempted to run their pipes through this tunnel, but the railroad men commenced filling their uncOmpleted trenches with cinderS, when the borough fire company with a chemical engine arrived and commenced playing up- on the railroad employees, driving them away from their work
 The latter fourished revolvers, and stones flew as thick as hail, but no one was hurt with the exception of Borough Engineer Gettleman, who was struck on the head bv a large stone and quite seriously injured Near midnight Chief Burgess Sher notified the borough people tu quit work and also notified the railroad employees that if any of them did a single stroke of work at that place during the hours of Sunday arrests would at once follow. This brought hos tilities to a close, but they will probably be

Fire of IncsnIiary Origin.

NnRwALK. Oct. 9.-The police and fire departments are investigating the fire which destroyed the factory of Martin Bates here Saturday night at late hour. The owner of the factory thinks that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and the police are of the same opinion. When the engineer employed by the company arrived on the scene he found that the fire was raging i'll two or three places, showing that the in cendiaries had done their work we'll. Sc fiercely did the fire rage that when the fire men arrived on the scene there was nc chance of saving the company's buildings The fire is n severe loss to the coneern, al: though the building and contents are well insured. The concern had large number of orders on hand, which, of course they will be unable t0 fill.

Kelly Says

There iS an old and true saying We can see tht. mote. that k in the eye of our neigh hor. but fail tn see the beam that Is in our own" That is how the people of this country lnnk to-day at the United States senate.
 It k not the United States senate that makes hard times, it is the business people of this country that make hard times for themselves and others. The sherman bill sn much abused. has no more to do with hard times than my bobtail cat had in rob bing the Omaha express, and l am safe tO predict that vou will have the silver dollar nS long as V0u live because it buys more flour today than gold ever has in the his tory of the world A little lecture to busi- ness man. Here is the method Kelly has taken la improve the business of the Platt Button company Irving G. Platt, one of the stockholders of the above concern and at present owner of Irving block and a one story building adjoining Kelly. said to platt If vou will tear down that one story building and build me model bakery I will show you how you can make the but ton business better. Platt said all right. Now for an illustration. Gou see the man who digs the celler buys a new shovel from Ihe hardware dealer the hardware dsller must order another shovel from the factory the factory calls in the hands to make the shovel; the miner will have to call the miners to mine the ore, and tho miner 's wife will have to buy buttons to put on the bows trousers. and the merchants will have n big order for Platt Button company, and they will have to call in the girls to make the buttons and the girls will have money to buy Kellv's Queen Caramels, and Kelly can % to the Worlds fair. Platt was satisfied with the illustration, and to-day there are twenty-five men working on the building. who otherwise would be sitting in the park. This is proof that it is neither the senate or the sherman bill that makes times poor. Please don't say, Oh, pshaw but go right along and do the business the same as yon always have. and We will all be working by and by. When you buy flour from Kelly you buy direct from the mill. If you will give my man an empty barrel you can buy 1t for S4.75.

KILLED BY AN EXPRESS.
Tw" Tramp> struck Near wo"dm"nt "n

Two men, apparently tr.mps, were struck and instantly killed near Wood mont at 4:45 Saturday afternoon, by the fast express, No. 65. bound from New Hn- ven to New York. The bodies uf the men were not mangled, but were hurled forty feet by the terrible shock as the train was going at full speed.
 Unless the bodies are claimed within the time allowed by law they will hc turned over to the Yale Medical school.
 It is not known exactly how tAc accident happened. There Is no curve where they were struck and it seems as if the cn- gineer and fireman must have seen them. They were poorly dressed and no one has been able to identify them.
