4 Monument TO Barner.

BELIEToNTf, March l3.-A movement
is already on foot among the citizens OF
Woodward and Haines township TO raise
money by subscription sufficient To erect
q handsome monument 10 the memory of
Constable J. L. Barner, who lost his life
IN his attempt to enforce the law by ar
resting outlaw William Eilinger. The
amount desired Is about $500, and there
is 80 doubt of the success Of the move
meBt. Ii will be erected in the Wood
ward Union Cemetery, where the re-
mains were Inferred.
All the men wounded IN the recent
tragedy are ROW in certain way Of re-
covery. The intense feeling against Mrs.
EiiGger : gradually dying out, and soon
The whole thing viii he but a memory.
Mrs. Etlinger has decided positively that
she VIII not accept any offers to 90 or ex-
h;b:tion for any length Of time.
As an illustration of Etlinger's outlaw
character the following incident has lust
co:ae 90 light: About twelve years ago.
when he returned from the West, he
built a house in Woodward. He oc,u-
pied II bat short time, and now the
house Is occupied by Allen Yearick. 4
few days ago Walter Etlinger, the young
brother Of the outlaw, told Mr.. Searick
that ii lac would look at the head of the
stairs he woaid find a movable step, fast
cred by screws. An examination was
made and the step found, which on being
opened disclosed a secret chamber. six
feet square and thirteen inches high. and
fitted up with place for provisions and
a good supply of ammunition.

THE New York Legislature last wet K
passed q liquor bill that if proposed in
Pennsylvania would meet with very
decided opposition, albeit it il a good
bill. Il provides that licenses shall
be paid for at the rate OF $500 in cities
u tie first class, $500 in other cities
and S400 in all other places. No place
snail be licensed to sell liquor within
tN-o hundred yards of z church or
school, and no license shall he issued
for liquor place within two hundred
yards of a private residence unless two
thirds of the property holders within
The limits OF the two hundred yards
sign the applicants application. All
saloons must be closed on Sunday and
mo- liquor whatever sold, and 10 carry
this ont the blinds and screens must be
opened 20 that the entire interior of
the drinking place may be seen by all
who pass and look into the saloon.
Liquor may not be served on Sunday
with meals at any place bu; in hotel,
and then only to regular guests. ANY
body VINO wants n license can get one.
provided the provisions above stated
aae complied with. The license money
goes two-thiris to the municipality
lrom which il is collected, and one
third to the state, and the collector is
allowed two per cent for collection.
The selling Of liquor in clubs j.
recognized by provision that they
shall sell no liquor on Sunday. Thi-
is rather stringent law, but 1t seems
10 6e one that the people OF New York
wanted, a the Legislature passed it 10y
