ENCOUNTERED 4 SNEAK THElR
EXCITING EXPERIENCE OF THE
FAMILY OF CHARLES CARTER, A
PROMINENT UrAg1MER.

PROMINENT U'AgSNIER.
West Chester August 1s.-The fam
fly OF Charles Carter, a prominent far
mer of East Bradford township, had
rather exciting encounter with
sneak thief on Tuesday but the latter
was eventually captured, and Is now in
the Chester county prison.
During the day Mrs. Carter, going
upstairs, saw a colored man ransack-
Ing the bureau in her bed chamber.
She started down to sound the alarm,
and the thief jumped out a second
story window and made a dash for lib
erty. He ran into Mr. Carter and his
son, William, who promptly took him
into custody. The fellow turned out to
be Granville Long a negro who had
at one time worked upon the farm for
Mr.. Carter, and who has lately been
living about Lenape. He was led into
the house preparatory to being taken
to prison, but once inside the house he
made another bold break for liberty,
darting out through the kitchen and
down through the shubbery in the yard.
the younger Carter followed discharg-
ing the contents OF shotgun in the
fugitve's wake. few grains took
effect in Longs arm, but he made good
his escape.
Visiting the office Of Magistrate Ru-
pert soon afterwarG Mr.. Carter caused
a warrant to be issued for the arrest OF
Long, and Constable Hlnkel was sent
on his trail. Late in the afternoon he
was located In a woods near Chadd's
Ford, where he was promptly sur
rounded and captured

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 19.-Two men
were instantly killed, four probably fa-
tally injured and two others seriously

lapse of the cornice on the new building

The dead are Albert Green and Thom-

The fatally injured are: c. Schroeder.

the head and injured internally: Thorn

The two men who were killed were al

came. The heavy cornice carried then
down, and the entire weight fell OF
the bricklayers who were az work or
the pavement.
The men were buried in the debris
and It was some time before they wer'
got out.
The building was almost completed
and the accident Is thought 10 havi
been caused by the shortening OF thi

The First TcaCups.

Even after tea was introduced into
Europe, and had come into general
use, teacups were scarce. At the same
time coffee was introduced, but, apart
from Constantinope, the first cups in
Europe date back only as far as 1645
in Venice, 1869 in Paris, 1862 in Lon
don and 1894 in Leipsic. From the
first, however, the conventional Orien-
tai coffee cup, without stem or handle,
was little used, and in Germany not
at all. The Chinese teacup was used
for tea, coffee and chocolate as well.
Specimens of porcelain were undoubt-
eddy introduced into Europe in the
middle ages, yet not till the sixteenth
century were cups imported from
China in any great quantities, and
even then it was as articles of vertu.
Most of those found their way back
into China again, as collecting porce-
lain is lasting fad there, and high
prices are paid for good specimens.
The collections of Chinese porcelain,
if only the genuine specimens are de-
sired, requires immense study and
knowledge, as the Chinese are skillful
imitators aud put numerous falsitica-
tions on the market. Jewellers Cir

An Agricultural Dog.

This we'll authenticated story comes
from Cass county, N. d. A large, in
telligent Newfoundland dog, Don, and
q fine specimen of his race, was with
one of his farmland friends in po-
tato field all one forenoon last spring.
The man was planting; had furrowed
out his patch, was dropping the seed
by hand and covering with hoe.
Don gave close attention t. the work
as if he was there to supervise it. The
man was called to dinner when nearly
q row Of dropped potatoes was I'M
covered. He left the work to be fin
ished after dinner, but was greatly
astonished upon his return to find
that during his absence Don had
nicely done nearly all the unfinished
work, but few of the potatoes remain
ing uncovered, and the job had been
done in a workmanlike manner. If,
as is commonly believed, animals are
guided by instinct alone, it would be
extremely gratifying if some one will
show in the light of this remarkable
instance of sagacity where instinct
leaves off and reason and reasoning
begin. Farm, Stock and Home.
