that the tariff question was settled for twenty
years by the passage Of the German thing Of

Mr. Flower has not expressed his feelings on the

Mr. Edward w. Chamberlain the nominee Of
the Peoples party for the office Of Recorder,
has done praiscworthy thing in declining to
accept the nomination and urging the members
of his party to vote for Mr. Golf. Mr. Cham
berlain is extremely severe in his condemnation
Of Recorder Smyth, and says it would be Il de-
plorable calamity for the city If he should be
reelected. He shows sound judgment and sa-
eacity when he says that in the pending contest
men should put aside personal interests and
political prejudices and join hands in an honest
effort for the common welfare. This sensible
advice applies as well to the contest for the
Mayoralty to that for the Recordership. 1t
is to be hoped that the Peoples party contains
other men clear-headed Mr. Chamberlain.
Such party has. in truth, no excuse for being,

who said he was going to Modesto to
work for man whom Reedy knew The
stranger had no ststeroom and ksedy
took him into his own to lie down. The
fellow went out, however, and said be
would come back again. He took the
door key along. Reedy, who had re-
tired, looked about mis- state room few
minutes later and discovered that his
trousers were missing, together with
his gold watch and chain. revolver and
some money in the pockets. Reedy
called the ships officers and told his
story, and the mate went out on the
deck and brought in the stranger who
had been in the room with Reedy. When
accused of the theft the man gave up
the revolver. He was then asked for
the watch. He hesitsted and stam-
mered something, then took another
revolver from his own pocket and blew
out his brains in the presence OF Reedy,
Mate johnson and Agent Remission.
Reedy's watch and other effects were
found on the suicides person. The

BATTLE WITH BURGLARS
AN EXCITING FUSILLADE AT
DANVILLE, Pa.
Five Masked Men, Surprised in the Act
OF Kobbing the Postoffce, Fight a
Pitched Battle With PoIice
and Citizens.

DANvILLE, Pa, Jan. E.--Five masked
outlaws made a raid on the postoffiee at
an early hour this morning. A police
man saw masked man crouehing in
the doorway and drew his revolver, but
before he could fire the stranger slipped
around the corner. The policeman
gave the alarm and in few minutes
was reinforced by two other officers.
They ran TO the postotfice in time to
meet mysterious stranger emerging
from the door, followed by companion.
They blew whistle and commenced
firing revolvers at the policemen, who
lodged behind lampposts and returned
the FIRE. Ten shots were exchanged,
when the robbers were reinforced by
three more men. Every one was we'll
armed and continuous round of firing
commenced. Numerous citizens APP
peared, armed with weapons OF every
description. The firing became SO warm
that the robbers concluded to retreat to
the river bank. They discharged three
volleys at the excited townsmen and
ran eastward, each exchanging shots.
Van Glider, who led the pursuing
party, suddenly threw mp his
hands and fell, shot through the lungs.
About the same time two robbers fell.
Their comrades grabbed them and
during momentary halt of the pursu-
ers, and managed to reach the Sueque-
hanna river. A row boat was secured
and the three outlaws, after laying their
wounded companions in the bottom OF
the boat, commenced scnlling in the
direction of the Northumberland side.
The pursuers, now force OF 100 inf1ri-
ated men, secured boats and an exciting
chase commenced. Revolvers and rifles
were cracking at every turn, but no one
was hit. Owing to the good start of the
outlaws, they succeeded in reaching the
opposite shore before the fore
most boat was half way across and when
the pursuers touched land the robbers
had reached the mountains which are
being secured on ell sides by a sberifPs
posse. In the event of their being sur
prised another desperate battle will
occur. Thesheriff declares he will bring
back the slayers OF Van Glider, dead or
alive.

A Crew of Heroic Life-savers Drowned
in Mid -OGean.
NEw YORK, Jan. II. - The Dutch
steamer Amsterdam, from Rotterdam.
arrived this morning. She reports q
succession OF gales and tremendous
seas. On Sunday last, during
northwest gale, she sighted what is
supposed to have been the American
fishing schooner Maggie E. Wells of
Gloucester, Mass, in a sinking con-
dition, and with boats stove. In
response to signals for assistance,
Chief Officer J. Meyer, Second Boat
swain E. Requart. Carpenter A. j.
Oudin, Steerage Steward A. Boso,
Quartermaster F. @. Eiohhorn. Seaman
A. Van Vleet and Seaman Vanderbilt
volunteered to man a boat to rescue the
crew of the sinking vessel, numbering
about IA. When the boat neared the
unfortunate vesselit capsized IN squall
and all persisted except Vanderbilt.
Another crew volunteered but the
captain decided it was too hazardous
and decided to wait till the gale SUBJ
sided. The steamer kept in the neigh
borhood but in heavy squall and snow
storm, lost sight of the schooner and
thereafter was unable to find any trace
OF her. 1t is believed she foundered with
all on board.
The schooner Maggie f.. Wells left
Gloucester, Mass, December 23d, for
the Grand banks after trip for fresh
halibut. No news has been received OF
her since. The crew consisted of Cap
tain Davidson and 10 men.

landing anywhere near Rio. A cor res.
pondent in that city sends word that
the Aquidaban 10 expected to leave the
harbor again in search OF soldiers.
Peixoto. in the meantime, continues
sending troops to Nictheroy, as he
evidently expects the rebels to attack it
in force before long. Marshal Conrado
Memyaf and General Argolio have both
gone to Nictheroy to take command +,
and it is estimated that the num-
Der OF Peixoto's troops there ex-
ceeds 5000. The rebels in launches
and she Cobras island garrison maintain
their fire upon the city OF Rio day and
night with rapid FIRE guas, killing and
wounding inoffensive persons. This has
reused much ill-feeling among even the
friends of the rebels, who protest against
the wanton destruction OF life. Contin-
uous attacks have been made for the
last two days by the feet upon the land
ing places OF Nlctheroy, but the govern
ment batteries answer briskly. 1t is
rumored that there is a split in the rebel
council and that Mello is not in accord
with De CANA.
Rio DE JANEIRo, Jan. 17.-There is
little change in the situation today.

termination OF the monotonous struggle.
