Another Robbery ON Main Street.

Another Robbery on Main Street.
Thieves entered the residence of w
Budd Deacon, on upper Main street, on
Sunday evening while the family was at
church. Entrance was effected, it is
thought, through side window. After
making a hurried search down stairs,
where they got 81, the thieves went to
the bath room and secured tin box con-
tanning certificates of stocks, deeds, etc. ,
and about $50 in money. The box was
hidden under the bath tub with a number
of others. Only this one was disturbed,
however. 1t was afterward recovered
lying in the yard near the house. 1t had
been broken open. the money taken, but
the papers undlsturbed.
The thief or thieves then paid visit to
the colored cooks room on the third floor,
where his effects were ransacked and two
dollars secured. After this the miscre-
ants escaped through rear door.
1t is evident that the person or persons
that committed the deed knew consider
able about the location of things in the
house, and was careful not to take any,
thing that would lead to Identification.
Jewelry lying on the bureaus was undis-
turbed.
The robbery was discovered by the
young eolored boy IN the employ of the
family. He was in the front yard and on
the pavement while the affair took place.

Alfred ]. Reynolds, one of the mos
popular and most efficient locomotive en-
gineers on the Pennsylvania railroad, ii
dead. He was seized with a severe stroke
of apoplexy last evening while making
his run from Camden to Mount Holly

AN Illinois exchanges: what Is to
be the test of returning confidence?
We think it will be when the man who
starts new enterprises comes forward.
The holders of wealth are not enterpre-
neurs. An enterpreneur is one who
undertakes some industrial enterprise.
This is usually done on borrowed capt.
tai. It is not usually the man who has
great wealth who enters upon the man
ufacture of some article. 1t is the
man with some capital and a great
deal of energy and courage. On the
strength of these he borrows sufficient
capital to start his undertaking. But
he will not venture to do this unless
there is reasonable assurance that he
can make profit. AS long as present
conditions prevail, few will undertake
cessful business on falling prices. 1t
il only when rising prices give prom
capital that the enterpreneur will start
new enterprises. That these condi-
tions have not yet come about, is evil
denced by the fact that government
securities have advanced from election
to Inauguration. This means that
those who have money are afraid to
risk it III productive industries, but
prefer the security and safety. though
with small returns, of government Sc
curitles to the investment in hazardous
enterprises. Money so invested does
nothing for labor or general prosperi-
ty. The surest harbinger of returning
confidence will be when government
securities begin to fall instead of rising
in the market"

ONE may judge of the state OF af-
fairs in Cuba from a passage in a let
ter which Premier Canovas recently
wrote to Don Manuel Calvo, a promi-
nent Spanish loyalist at Havana: The
time is near at hand" he informed
Cslyo, "when the mother country,
having done her entire duty, will ask
her loyal sons in Cuba to support with
their patriotism the overwhelming
burden of SPANS calamities." This
is confession of helplsssness; it is
the voice of despair; it marks the hu-
initiation of Spain; her Government
calls upon the colonists for assistance;
her army has failed. In consequence
OF Canovas's entreaty, the Spanish
authorities at Havana have renewed
their efforts to raise battalions of vol
unteers for the royal service in Cuba.
The regular troops that have garrison
ed the island towns are withdrawn for
the defence of the few fortified cities
on the seaboard, and the loyalists of
these towns are warned that they must
volunteer for self-protection, or suffer

PROBABLY no other railroad in the
country has spent as much money on
Improvement and betterments of its
lines than has the Baltimore & Ohio
during the past year. The receivers
have prepared statement of expendi-
lures from March 1. 1896, to February
l, 1897, for additions to the plant,
equipment of road and betterments
made thereon. From this statement
it is learned that total of almost ST.
900, 900 has been spent for locomotives,
passenger and freight equipment, ex-
traordinary repairs to equipment and
expenditures made by the engineering
department. These figures do not in
clude $4,000 tons of S5-pound steel
rails which were ordered a few weeks
ago and which will cost about 81, O00,-
900.
