RIGHT TO SHOOT BURGLARS.

Some Late Court Decisions About the De-
Tense of Property.
The right of householder to shoot
at fleeing burglar has been discussed
recently in several newspapers and
legal periodicals.
A correspondent of the London
Times says he saw burglars escaping
from his house after stealing some
plate, and he fired two shots after
them. Later in the night he met one
of the burglars and secured some of
the stolen silver. He would then have
shot at the burglar running away with
the remaining booty If he had not left
his revolver at home.
The correspondent afterward doubt
ed whether he had the legal right to
use his weapon when the burglar was
running away, and he consulted two
or three judges who were his friends,
He was advised that he might shoot q
burglar fleeing in the dark to prevent
his escape from arrest.
In an English court recently house,
holder was tried for assault on the
complaint of q self-confessed burglar,
whom he discovered in his kitchen and
whom he shot in the body. The bur-
glar in his testimony appeared to
think that the householder took an
unfair advantage in firing from dark
room into the kitchen, where the thief
was pursuing his occupation by CANDLE
light. The judge, however, directed
an acquittal.
The Pennsylvania supreme court has
reversed the conviction of manslaugh-
ter in the case of a Waynesburg citi-
zen who shot and killed thief as he
was leaving his stable. The burglar
had stolen part of set of harness
from the stable on previous night,
and had promised TO deliver the rest of
it to an intending purchaser. and So
returned to the stable to complete the
theft.
The citizen called on the thief to
stop, and fired shot in the air. The
thief turned and seized the household
err, who then again discharged the re-
volver, inflicting II fatal wound
A Pennsylvania jury on some pccul-
lar theory convicted the defendant,
but the supreme court minated that
he had a right to pursue and arrest the
thief

benefit to the weak, nervous and aged. AS

The Entertainments.


The entertainment given for the
benefit OF the Sunday school last
week was a pronounced success, so
cially and financially. The music by
Messrs. Knapp, Taylor and Lothrop,
violins, and Miss Cora Wagner, pia-
no, was excellent.
The tableaux Bluebeards Wives
by Mesdames Wooley, Cagwin, At
Gibson, Church, Morley and Misses
Mcbride and Hart, was a beautiful
though ghastly spectacle
The farce "Antidote' was well
rendered. Mrs. Rosenthal as Mel
lie Fulton displayed a degree of
histrionic ability that surprised her
friends. Ben Rosenthal as the inva-
lid hypochondriac was very good
Mrs. Torp, Mrs. Miller and Sol. Sum
merfeld had but little to do, but they
did it we'll
The Lovers Stratagem, by Mrs,
Morley, Lucinda Mcbride and Solly
Summerfeld, was very funny.
The piano solo by Cora Wagner
was an artistic performance, and the
Doll Drill by the little girls, directed
by Hattie Summertield, was very
pretty exercise.
The following tableaux were pre-
scented and elected merited express
sions of admiration:
Columbia Mrs. Atchison.
"Galatea, Cora Wagner,
Justice" Cora Wagner
Psyche, Mrs Ben Rosen thai.
Judith, Mrs. Atchison.
Queen Nab, Mrs. Rosenthal
The Gypsy Scene tableau was quite
natural. 1t represented a party of
gypsies in camp, some preparing sup
per, while the younger ones were en-
gagged in a game of cards.
The recitation "Little Mabel" by
Mrs. Ben Rosenthal, was rendered
in that lady's usual perfect manner.
Mrs. Huffines story of the Dutch
mann lin the barrel stuck showed
her to be excellent in the German
dialect, and brought down the house
as it were. For an encore, she gave
an excellent imitation of backwoods
exhorter
Miss Julia Whites recital of her
experiences while learning to skate
was among the good things of the
evening, and was extremely mirth-
provoking.
Mrs. Morley delivered comic reel
tation 80 well that she was recalled
and recited "'Ostler joe in good
style.
The Hoop Drill by company OF
young ladies, under the captaincy Of
Mrs. Rosenthal, was very fine, and
was greatly admired.
After the entertainment dancing g
commenced and was kept up till a
late hour.
The ladies having charge of the af-
fair desire to return thanks to R. M.
King and Ben Rosenthal, who were
interchangeable in their efforts to make
the entertainment a success.
Miss Lydia King and Mrs. Ben
Rosenthal are deserving the thanks
of all who enjoyed the evening. They
labored for weeks to perfect the girls
in the different drills, and attending
to the various details.
