rerrapin s7e a Dozen.

Terrapin, the now greatest delicacy
known to the epicure, are little lower
in price this year than they were last,
although their comparative scarcity
makes them one Of the most precious
luxuries. "Counts'-that is, terrapins
that measure six inches or over-which
brought $50 per dozen last year, are now
selling for $50. The largest specimens
are highly priced for their flesh, and have
brought even this year as high as $12 FER
dozen. The more common varieties,
which have not changed materially in
price, sell for $15 to $50. Terrapin farm
ing has proved lucrative business. OF
late years many have entered into it and

sought refuge in the Florence home they
declared that they were her parents.
They have dropped hints about the
possibility Of the child coming into a

seem that there was some basis for this
hypothesis, for they are now as eager to
get hold of her rs they were to lose her,
and rumors about her belonging to a

The chief difficulty in wintering onions
is in keeping them too warm and too
moist. That is the trouble usually when
they are kept in cellars. ANY place
where they can be dry and held at a
nearly uniform temperature about the
freezing point is best. Onions may freeze
without being injured. provided they are
not allowed to thaw and freeze again.
Where, however, the winters are too
warm to make this method Of keeping
safe, it is better to prevent freezing, but
keep the onions where they will be at all
times very near the freezing point

Eva KasperowIcz Positively Identities a
Mau Arrested To-day.
There were additional exciting develop
ments in the case Of Rev. Abromaitis to-days
and there is a possibility of Eva Kasperowicz's
story being true after all.
This afternoon Constable Tosh arrested
a Pole known as Jake Buskawicz,
who resides on North Plum alley in the First
ward. When the man was taken before JUS
tice Dongler he positively denied that he knew
anything about what Eva Kasperowicz stated,
but the girl was positive in her Identification
of the prisoner as the one she described as
Jake, and said he was the man who argued
with the others that it would be better to
blow up Rev. Abromaitis house than to un-
dertake to kill the priest and his driver while
ON their way to Mahanoy City. The girl also
swore to-day that the prisoner said he would
kin the priest at the first opportunity.
Buskawicz was put under $500 bail on a
charge of surety of the peace and if the other
two men can be arrested the charge will be
increased to conspiracy to murder.
