Their Readers Are Few.

From the Ashland News
We received to-day a copy of a Shenandoah
paper that appears to have quite large cir
culation among the patent medicine people,
as it has few readers, and which contained
marked editorial on the freak newspapers
We suppose its proprietors want little free
advertising, but as we invariably ask pay in
advance from people of their standing we
must refuse to place its name in our columns
though we may refer to its contents. 1t is too
bad thatall the edtsrs of this county with the
exception of the Shenandoah pair,
lack the photographic accuracy Of
the Cass township school of journalism,
the syntactical correctness of a First
ward Squire, or the depth of thought
necessary in the only man of this region who
understands Ben, Hur. The News confesses
that it lacks all these advantages of training
and that therefore an occasional mistake of
freak" nature may be found in its columns;
but doesn't a condemnation of bad spelling
come with worse grace from an editor who
needs but turn to the first line on his editorial
page to find a horrible exhibition of the fault
that he condemns in others2

JUVENILE
BURGLARS.
Youthful, But Had the Nerve to Tackle
a Safe.
A CHISEL AND BUTTONER USED.
The Safe Was OF the Old Fashioned Kind
But 1t Gave the Cold Shoulder
to the Primitive Methods
That Were Adopted.

Two juvenile burglars were taken into
custody early yesterday morning while in
the act of robbing the store of X. Stocker on
South Main street. They were Richard
Burns, of Glover's Hill, and George Goodle-
wicz, of West Coal street The former is
about II years old and the latter about two
years younger. Both have police records

at work on the paddock fastening the cellar
doors in front of Stockers store The officers
kept in hiding to await developments Burns
and Goodlewicz finally got the doors open
and descended into the cellar. Soon after a
candle light was observed moving about the
store.
Meanwhile Chief of Police Murphy, Police.
men Foyle and Uraitis and Watchman
o Hara joined the two officers who had been
watching. Guards were placed in front OF
the store, and also in Pear alley, at the rear.
The police then aroused Mr.. Stocker and his
wife. The former put his head out of one
of the second story front windows and told
the police to go down the cellar. Just then
Burns shouted from the cellar You don't
need to- we'll come up" and they did. The
pair Of youthful cracksmen were placed in
the lookup.
During the time intervening the entry to
the cellar and the arrest Burns and Good
lewicz had been busy, An old fashioned safe

the store, the outdoor of which had been left
open by Mr.. Stocker when he retired Satur.

about five dollars in silver from the store till
About two dollars of this was taken from the

IN SENATE
AND HOUSED
The Nicaragua Canal Bill in the Upper
House Of Congress.
PROGRAM FOR THE PRESENT WEEK.
Another Subject on the Calendar is the
Anti scalping Bill Which Will Come Up
at an Early Day other Matters
Under Consideration.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The course Of
proceedings in the senate this week will
depend upon the disposition that is
made Of the Nicaragua canal bill. It
is Senator Morgan's intention to call
up this measure today, and ne has ex-
pressed the hope that he will secure
action before today's adjournment. Few
OF his most sanguine co-workers agree
with him in this opinion, and the best
indication Is that unless an agreement
can be reached for postponement sew
eral days at least will be consumed in
its consideration. The opponents OF
the measure will meet its supporters
with a proposition to defer consider
alton until after the Christmas holi-
days, and they will give as their reason
for this request the fact that the re-
port of the government commission an
pointed to investigate the feasibility
Of the canal has not yet been made.
urging the Importance Of receiving tn ,
Information which the commission will
be able to furnish before acting upon
so important a question, II the bill is
taken up in earnest It viii consume the
greater portion Of the senate's time un-
til finally disposed of.
Another subject on the calendar is
the anti-scalping bill, which Senator
Cullom mas informed the senate he will
seek to get up at an early day, but he
is not likely to succeed thus early in
the session.
Beyond the first three days there
is no program mapped out for the
house this week Today Is being de-
voted, under the rules, to the consider
alton of business relating to the Dis
trlct of Columbia, and tomorrow the
District of Columbia appropriation bin
will be taken up This is in pursuance
of the determination of the leaders to

Heisenberger's dry goods store, on East
Centre street, trying to slip roll of dress
goods under her shawl. The woman begged
to be released and pleaded that no publicity
be given the matter. She was detained until
her husband arrived 1t was explained that
seven rolls Of dress goods had been stolen
from the store, and that the woman in Gus
tody was a visitor to the place just before the
goods were found missing. Upon promises
that the loss would be made good within a
few days, no arrest was made and the store
keeper promised to withhold the name of the

Highwaymen at Mahanoy.

The borough of Mahanoy City is becoming
quite rendezvous for crooks. On Saturday
night there we're tive hOldups between the
hours of 10 and 1870 o'clock. man named
William Thompson was the first man stopped.
He was confronted by two desperate looking
characters. Thompson knocked one of them
down with blow of his fist, and the other
ran away. A few minutes later Luther
Wheat travelled in the same vicinity and was
attacked by the same highwaymen, who
we're more shrewd this time. One approached
from the rear and held Wheat's arms while
the other took what change he had in his
pockets Wheat was then given two or
three blows and told to go home. He did so.
