When Miss Wbeeler attempted to stop

hiding places OF the valuable goods and
Jewels and bonds which he had stolen,
his careful concealmeni of his nefarious
trade, and his extraordinary SUCCESS in

Married After so Years.

SEw YORK, Nov. lS.-A singular and
happy romance ended in wedding at
Spring Valley. y. j., on Friday night,
when Belinda Sw eE$stSs. widow of John
SxenartOn, former wealthy resident of
Spring Valley. was married TO Andrew
Jackson Rust, of Ohio. Belinda Rollins.
a fair haired girl, and Andrew j. Rust, a
i.right boy, were school children aud
piaymsses together i'm a small hamlet in
Maryland many years ago. Thirty years
ago they were obliged to separate, and
from that time they never saw or heard
from each other until two days ago. In
the meantime Belinda, who had grown
10 be an attractive woman, found her
ssy 10 Spring Valley, eight miles from
Syaek. and took the place Of housekeep-
er in the faulty of John Swenarton, a
wealthy resident tis=e. Some time later
Mrs. Swenarton died. aud &C. long after

We are Not Ready For War.

The defenseless condition ofthe Ameri-
can coast, which the General of the army
has recently elaborated with much pre-
cision of detail, is for the moment the
principal subject of conversation among
army and navy officers.
Admiral John g. Walker, who repre-
sents the progressive element of the new
navy, regards coast defeases and navy
a. the complement of each other.
"I am good American" said Admiral
Walker, "but / cannot shut my eyes
To cold facts. We are not prepared to-
day to engage in war with any first-class
Power. We are in the position that China
occupied in her recent struggle with
Japan. We have vast population, great
wealth, boundless resources end intens c
patriotism. But we cannot maintain an
offensive or defensive attitude against
any one of half dozen foreign countries.
What General Miles says about the de-
fenseless condition Of our coast cities is
entirely correct. II is true that New
York and San Francisco are better pro-
| tected than our other commercial cities
4
but even they would be helpless against
the assaults ofa dozen powerful ironclads
So far as the remaining cities are con
eerned they have no protection what
/ ever"
"What do you think the Government
ought 10 do,''
Congress ought 10 make liberal ap-
preparations for coast defeRses and fol
additional ships of war. More than any
thing else, we need a strong navy. II We
had dozen battleships of the Indians
class on the Atlantic coast we could def,
as powerful maritime country as Grea
| Britain. We have now four battleship
building and two others have been ap
propriated for. We need al least sevei
| more"

Campbell Finds Comfort.

In letter from eX-Gov. Campbell Of
Ohio. 10 personal friend, Mr.. Campbell
expresses himself more freely than at
any time since the election. Speaking of
the campaign he says: 1--WE succeeded in
getting 1900 more Democrats out than
voted last year and the Republican plu-
rality was 5000 less. In New York city
where the fight was made on local issues,
the regular Democracy carried things by
a large plurality, in spite of the one
against it last year. In every other State
the contest took place on national issues
and in every one of them, without excep-
ton, the Republican party made heavy
gains.
This proves conclusively to my mind
that the party in Ohio and New York city
chose the issues more wisely than else
where, and that if we had fought it out
on national matters we would have lost
instead of gained on the vote of last
year"

THAT there was treachery and throat
catting among the followers of the
Democratic candidates for the Superior
Court at the last election is made man
ffest from the official returns. These
shOw that Smith, the successful Demo-
cratic candidate, ran away ahead OF
she other Democratic candidates for
Judge, and largely ahead of the State
ticket in different localities. For in
stance, i'm Lackawana, the candidate
for State Treasurer received only 1859
votes, while Smith received 7,7l2, and
she other Democratic candidates for
Judge got less than 5000 each. In Lu-
zerne county Smith got 1880 votes,
running several thousand votes ahead
of his colleagues on the ticket. so IN
Schuylkill, Philadelphia, Allegheny
and other counties Smith lead all the
other candidates for Judge, except
Yerkes in Philadelphia and Maiee in
Allegheny. As Smith was almost uB-
know throughout the State, with on
Iya local reputation, it is apparent
that some iRfuence-possibly that of
the bosses-caused this cutting and
slashing OF the ticket in the interests
of Smith. This has caused not only
.istonishment and suspicion, but bad
blood i'm the ranks of the party, and a
general feeling of mistrust. Explana-
tons are now i'm order if harmony,
brotherly love and unity are to be hoped
for in the future.

A Most Remarkable Coincidence Re-
called.

Manassas (Na.l Journal
The public sale of the Mclean estate,
advertised for Dec. ., by Messrs- Thorh-
ION a Round in another column, brings
TO our mind the most singular coincidence
we recall i'm our reading of history. Inc
first meeting of the army of the Potomac
and the army OF Northern Virginia took
place at Blackburn's Ford, July Is, 1851,
and brought on the first pitched battle OF
the war. AtlOA. NJ. of that day Beaure-
gard took up his headquarters at the
Mclean House and there McDoweil at
tackled him with heavy force OF infant
nv and artillery. On the 9TH oil Aprl,
1865. after l.36l days of almost constant
fighting, the commanders of these two
armies. Grant and Lee, met at the Nc
Lean House at Appomattox and drew up
the terms of the surrender.
When Beauregard evacuated Manassas,
Major Mclean removed his family 10
Fauouier. As the tide of war rolled
again around them they removed the sec
ond time to Lunenburg, and there IN
1868 the Major returned one day and told
them he would move them this time
where the sound of battle would never
reach them any more. They rented the
brick house at Appomattox, which has
become historic and toward which all
the strategy of the war converged, and
around which it so suddenly eliminated.
And so it happened, as Major Mclean
frequently said, that the war began on
him and ended on him.
Another point is worthy of mention in
this connection. The Mclean estate en-
braeed in 1861 over l, 400 acres, including
some of the best land of this country.
over one-half of this has been sold ont
10 eight different persons, at from six to
fifteen dollars per acre. The largest part
is now embraced in the magnificent farm
of Robert Portner. The remainder OF
the tract is now subdivided and will be
sold at December court. The change
from large plantations to small farms is
thus illustrated, showing an inevitable
tendency of our civilization.

Bsttled With The Deer.

BELLEFoNTE, Pa, Nov. H.-Clarence
Stover. aged II, is the son of a carpen-
ter living al Aaronsburg, IN the lower
end of Center county. One day last
week the two started to work on job
a mile and a half distant from their
home On the road they met neighbor
who invited the father to a seat in his
wagon and the boy was left to trudge
along alone.
In order to shorten his walk Clar-
ence decided 10 take near cut across
some fields, and lad just started to
climb the fence at the roadside when
his attention was attracted by hoof-
prints on the frosty ground. On look
ing in the direction the buggy bad taken
he was startled 10 sse fuilgrown deer
trotting toward him. 1t had evidently
come out Of the strip of woods in which
the two men had been lost sight of.
Crouching down i'm the angle Of the old
worm fence the boy grasped large
stone and waited.
In moment the deer was directly OPP
posite him, and then he threw the stone
with all his might. 1t struck the startled
deer in the side and away it sped. Clar-
ence was able to follow its tracks, and as
they turned back iE ii.e direction he was
going he thought he would see the point
at which it entered the woods at least
When he reached the top of a little knoll
| 10 large field he saw the deer lying
under tree just a few rods beyond. With
another stone he gave it q second pelt.
This time he hit it on the head. and must
have dazed if. for if sprang to its feot and
ran directly toward him.
And this juncture the boy grew desper-
ate, and just as the deer sped by him he
I threw himself at If and caught il 10y ono
of its hind legs. Both went down to-
gether and fearful struggle ensued.
Deer and boy rolled over and over,
until finally he got his knee on its neck,
and held it while he drew his old rusty
penknife and Gu. It's throat. After IL was
| dead he carried il back home on his
shoulder, and IS now the hero Of the
| town.
