Apples for the ou..n.

Fifteen years ago." says The Lon
don Sketch. IAN Englishman travelling
in Virginia had his attention directed
to the Albemarle pippin. When he had
tasted the fruit he thought II so ey-
cellent that he actually ventured TO
send a barrel OF Albemarles' to the
queen. A sample was shown TO her
majesty when the apples duly arrived,
and she. too, found them delicious.
So every year an order is sent from
Windsor te a grower on the Blue Ridge
Mountains FOR six barrels of this partic-
ular apple from his orchards Very
carefully are the apples packed in pol
ished barrels. with small Union Jack
and United States flag painted on the
top"

curtis Swanwick is a youth who
,nrang into instant fame last Aprh by
aisanpearing. He Hved at 10 Francisco
,,reet with his folks, and he collected
,ents for w. Gray Brown, who leases
> houses flats and barns to west siders.
What lent great interest TO the eclipse
n vonng Mr.. Swanwick was the fact
tbat he had in his pockets at the time
,lmost $500 of Mr.. Browns money,
which he had collected during the day.
Ne was president of the Epworth
league and treasurer OF the Sunday
school.
A few DAYS ago Swanwick walked
into his home in Francisco street, look
ing little the worse for wear and tear.
He tells the following story OF his abb
duction:
"It was on the evening OF April /.
was near Carpenter and Randolph
streets in an alley in which was barn
oeeupied by one of Mr. Browns ten
ants and who had been delinquent in
his rent.
Il was kneeling down beside the
barn looking through the cracks to see
whether the horse was still there, when
suddenly felt myself seized from be-
hind. a cloth thrown over my face,
and | was drawn backward. When |
came to myself / was seated on the
laps OF two men in a cab and was being
driven north, for | remember passing
under the Lake street Il structure and
over a viaduct. | think we went to the
north side but anyway, l was taken
to room in a hotel. My hands and
feet had been bound during the ride
In the carriage. but in the room the two
men loosed them and took the gag ont
OF my mouth. Then / looked around
me. The men were about my size and
very dark
"They wore false boards, for | could
see the wires which held them on |
think their mustaches and sdeburns
were real. They spoke some foreign
language. either Italian or Spanish.
One Of them produced n revolver which
he laid on table, and l was warned
that 1t would not be healthy for me
to cry out. They brought me some
food, which | think was drugged, for
after eating il | fell into a deep sleep
which lasted some hours. When
awoke both men were still there. and
they had a suit of clothes. a shirt, collar
and necktie. and they ordered me to
change my garb. | demurred little,
but slight movement toward the re-
volyer made me change my mind. and
] took of my clothes.
The money | had collected during
the day. about $500. was in my trou-
sers pocket. and that was the last
saw of 1t. | do not know what they
did with the money or the clothing.
When was dressed | was taken to the
Northwestern depot, where we went
down the outside entrance and took a
train. We got off at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, where | was taken to a hotel
and kept in a room about three weeks.
All the time either one or the other
OF my captors was in the room with
me, and | had no chance to escape.

the action Of some candidates tor justice of

party, had lot Of votes cast for themselves
as Justice of the peace for the borough"
under the contention that each borough was
only entitled to two justices and they were
to be elected by the voters of all the wards
into which a borough may be divided, accord
ing to an act passed in 1878 and under which
it is claimed decisions have been rendered sus-
tanning this contention. This was done in town
and also in Mahanoy City. In town 'Squires
Lawler and Cardin had votes cast for them in
more than one ward and claim they are the
ohly justices entitled to commissions. The
question is being discussed considerably and
will probably get into court for decision.

train came in here from Scranton and
about fifteen men, some of them tramps,
and others who had been at work and were
saving their money and beating" their
way home, were in a box car. AS the train
stopped there was a rap for admission and
those inside, supposing some one wanted
shelter, opened the door. Outside were
three masked men armed with revolvers
and dark lanterns Two of tho men
entered the car and commanded the oc-

THE SCHOOL ATTENDANCES.
Interesting Results Shown by a Census
Of the Pupils.
THE NATIONALITIES CONSIDERED
Children of American Birth and Parentage,
Those of the Same Birth, But of Foreign
Parentage, and Children of Foreign
Birth Classified

People who take an interest in the local
public schools will find the table published
below Of considerable Importance The fig
ures were CLEANED and tabulated by Superin-
tendent NJ. p Whitaker and Secretary W.
r. Trezise after a discussion one day as to
the number of children of the different
natiOnalties in attendance at the respective
schools. Secretary Trezise prepared the
necessary blanks for the census and Superin-
tendent Whitaker distributed them among
the teachers in the schools. The census was
very diligently and carefully conducted
and the figures may he relied upon
as being as near correct as it is pos
sible to get them. They are not based
solely upon the statements of pupils
but upon information through them from the
parents to teachers. The children Of Ameri-
can birth and parentage are the greatest in
number by great majority, which is con-
trary to the supposition of many people.
They form over 40 per cent. of the total
school attendance.
As to the children of foreign parentage the
Irish rank first, the Poles second, English
third and Lithuanian fourth, and of the
children of foreign birth in attendance at
the schools the Lithuanians are the greatest
in number, the Poles a close second, and the
English third.
The fact is apparent that the Polish and
Lithuanian children are rapidly increasing
in attendance and with the constant increase
in the population of these two nationalties
and steady depreciation of most of the others
we may expect to see the formers percentage
greatly increased within the next four or five
years.
Another interesting fact brought out is
that the Hungarian population of the town
is not near as large as many people suppose.
The census shows but % children of that
nationality and parentage in attendance at
the schools and assurance is given by u
prominent Hungarian that the percentage
thus shown is fair representation OF his
nationality in the town

GOMEZ and MACEO UNITE.
Cuban'S InSurgent Leaders Escape
spanish Vigilance"
TO JOIN WITH OTHER INSURGENTS
An Engagement at Jaruco in Which the
Patriots Were Probably Victorious
as Not a Word is said of the
Losses on Either Side"

HAVANA Feb. 2O.-Antonio Maceo, with
q large following ON Tuesday made an at
tack upon Jaruco, which is the largest and
most important town on the railroad be
tween Havana and Matanzas. The official
report states that the garrison made "a
heroic defense, but not word is said of
the losses on either side or of the damage
inflicted by the insurgents. After the at
tack Maceo left the town and joined the
column led by Maxine Gomez, which
came to meet him.
1t seems evident that Gomez and Maceo
intend TO move into Matanzas and form a
junction with the insurgent forces from
the east under other leaders which have
arrived there. Their course from Jaruco
was to Sabano Robles and La Catalina,
and from there in the direction of Mad
ruga, which is towards Matanzas. 1t is
reported that the position of the troops
makes the situation of Gomez and Maceo
extremely critical.
Captain General Weyler has given Of
fetal notice of the transfer of the case of
Jose Larenzo Cepedo from the military to
the civil jurisdiction, and Cepedo will soon
be removed from the Cabanas fortress to
the civil prison to await trial.
For week the city has been filled with
wild rumors of midnight shootings of
prisoners at the Cabanas fortress. Cepero
is said to have been one of the victims
From very high authority it is learned
that there is no truth whatever in any of
these reports. There have been no mill.
tary executions, and no prisoners have
been shot in the Cabanas fortress.
Cepero is an American citizen, accused
of taking ii conspicuous part with the in
surgents in the affair at Maltiemp. The
order of the captain general is issued at
the request of the United States consul
general, Ramon Williams. Strong influ-
ences have been at work ever since Cep-
eros capture to have him tried by court
martial, but Captain General Weyler rec
ognizes the case as coming under the pro-
visions of the treaty with the United States.
Captain General Weyler has been so
much annoyed by these rumors that he
has made careful Investigation and de-
manded Il special report upon the facts.
Sentinels shooting at stray goats or other
moving objects that failed to respond to
challenges at night it is said gave rise to
the alarming reports.
The police have captured in this city an
important insurgent leader, DR.. Ricardo
Hernandes Risen. This mans wife is
said to have been one of the Amazons who
took part in the battle of Paso Real, in
Pinar del Rio.
