FIRE! FIRE! FIRE.

Last Friday morning about half
past ten o'clock the citizens of the
Town were startled by hearing the
whistle of Harman & Hassert's shops,
and soon after, for the first time, a
few of our people who were in the
immediate vicinity heard the fire bell
on the Town Hall. Soon people
were noticed hurrying down East
street. The fire originated in a small
building on the west side of East
street, and below the ID. l.. & w.
railroad, and occupied by VIM. Nc
Neal for the storage of buggies &c.
They were boiling soap in the i'm
mediate vicinity ahd it is supposed
that the fire originated from that
cause. The hose trucks were i'm
mediately on the ground but their
services were not required as the fire
had been extinguished before any
damage had been done, by using the
hose from the car shops. Isn't it
about time we have some sort of a
fire alarm

DARING LARCENY.

One of the most daring thefts ever
perpetrated in this place occurred
last Saturday afternoon and as a con-
sequence of which S. H. Harman is
mourning the loss of bicycle. The
facts are substantially as follows. The
wheel was standing in front Of Pursel
and Harman's store and young man
comparatively we'll dressed, carrying
an umbrella, deliberately mounted it
and rode up street. He was noticed
by several parties but, as they sup
posed he had borrowed it, nothing
was thought of the matter until about
an hour afterwards when it was dis
covered that it had been stolen.
Barton Shaffer who was coming to
town passed party who answered
the description, and Immediately Mr..
Harman and Burt Pursel mounted a
tandem and started in pursuit of the
thief. They tracked him as far as
Shaffer's bridge and there the trail
was lost. They however went on to
Millville, Jerseytown and other places
but failed to find any trace of him.
AT Millville the service of the consta-
BILE was secured, and he spent most
of the night searching for him, but he
too failed to find him. 1t was sub
sequently ascertained that his name
was Anderson, and he resided near
Muncy, and had been in town all
day leaving grip in F. M. Gilmore's
Restaurant. 1t is supposed that he
took to the woods, where he remain
ed during the day, as it would have
been almost impossible for him to
travel on the roads without being seen
by some one. 1t is quite loss to Mr..
Harman, as it was Cleveland special
and high grade wheel. 1t certainly
took nerve to commit crime of this
character in broad day light and with
the streets full of people, but he took
the chances, and in all probability
Sam has seen his bicycle for the last
time.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

That we are an up-to-date town,
and have live business men, is evil
denced by the improvements our
merchants are introducing into their
stores. 1t seems but comparatively
short time since the merchants used
the old drawer under the counter as a
receptacle for their cash, but as their
business increased the store rooms
were enlarged and it was found that
too much time was occupied in max
ing change, and then too they were
not safe.
Following this came several differ
ent kinds of cash registers and it was
thought that they could not be i'm
proved upon. Whilst they were safe.
and acted as check upon dishonest
employees too much time was requir-
ed in making change. Now however
both these objections have been over
come by the introduction of the Lam
son New Rapid Cash System. The
hrst party in town to introduce it in
their store was the Leader company
and 1t worked with such success that
n. J. Clark & Son in casting around
for safe and rapid cash delivery de-
cided to put in the latest improved
Lamson system. 1t consists of seven
stations ana the cashiers desk is locat-
ed under the arch between the two
large rooms and from this point the
switches extend in seven different di-
rectlons. The clerks when making a
sale need not go the full or half length
OF the store to make change, but SIM
ply put the cash, with slip of paper
provided for that purpose, on which
is marked the amount of the sale and
change wanted, in one of the baskets
or little cars, and with slight pull of
cord the little car almost flies 70 the
cashiers desk, gets its change and re,
turns in short time.
The same system has been intro
duced in the Broadway cash store
and thus their two large rooms are
practically one. The cashiers desk
is located at raised desk underneath
the arch in the rear and is connected
by wire to the several different
stations sin the main rooms, thus af-
fording the clerks easy access to the
receptacles for carrying the purchase
money and change.

The proceedings of the General
Conference at Cleveland last Saturday
were more after the order of a political
convention than a conference of chris

were on their feet at one time and
denounced the ruling Of Bishop Hurst
as being unfair and partial. Some
threatened to resign if they could not
get justice.

According to the theory of an old
fisherman, who lives at Petrolia, there
will be high water all summer. The
basis of this idea is the fact that the
fish in the small streams are spawning
in shallow water this spring. This
authority on fish says that when sun
fish, suckers and chubs spawn in deep
water as they did last year the season
will be dry and there will be but little
rain fall, but when they spawn in shall
low water there will be plenty of rain
and corresponding high water.

The old hymn in Sam Taylor's
"Original Poems" beginning with who
Ran to Help Me When Fell9' ought
to have provisional clause added to it.
The person who hastens to help suf-
ferer who has been shocked by q fall
should not say a single word. or
course. says the Philadelphia Record,
the benevolent bystander is brimful of
questions: Where are you hurt?"
Have you sprained your ankle?" and

whether you can fall down fight Of

than if you had thrown yourself on a

course you, are, hurt;, and the nerve
shock is so great that any sort Of ques-
tion, even if "they" shall fetch hot wa
ter. is an additional blow to the nervous
system. You are suffering, perhaps,
to-, much to speak; yet they pelt you
with questions while every power of
your body is endeavoring to regain self
control. You ought not to answer.
You would like to scream that sit

accident in having swift and noiseless
helpers about him or her-absolutely si-

is it forgotten when we run TO lift up

IT is too early to make any predic-
tions with regard to the result of the
political campaign, but several things
have become much clearer during the
past few weeks. 1t has become, in the
first place, very doubtful whether the
free-coinage movement has secured any
large support among the farming and
working people of the East. The Re-
publican majority in Vermont might
have been explained on the ground of
the general conservatism of that State,
but the equally phenomenal majority
in Maine cannot be explained on any
such ground. Maine, unlike Vermont,
has passed through different phases of
opinion on the currency question. The
greenback movement gained very SER
ious hold there, and it is one of the
Eastern States in which the free silver
movement might haYe been expected
to gain many adherents. On the con-
trary, however, Maine has cast the
heaviest vote in her history in favor of
the Republican ticket. 1t has become
clear, in the second place, that this is
not sectional fight, as good many
free-silver men have very unwisely
attempted to make the country believe.
The issue will not be decided by the
East, but by the Central West If the
free-coinage movement is defeated, as
we believe it will be, it will be because
the Central West-that is to say, In
diana, Illinois, Ohio, and Iowa-refuses
to support the Chicago platform and
the Chicago nominees. The real battle
ground is not in the East, but in these
great Western States. They are to be
the arbiters of the question, and if free
coinage is beaten it will be beaten by
a Western and not by an Eastern vote.
1t is fortunate, from this point of view,
that the three Presidential candidates
are all Western men, and that no party
can any longer consistently claim to
represent either Eastern or Western
sentiment exclusively. Outlook.
