PECKVILLE.

The Columbia Gun club through their
star correspondent in Saturdays Re-
publican INDUCED in a little stone
throwing that cast reflections upon the
Peckville Gun club. 1t was an estab-
lished fact known to members of the
Peckville club that the Columbias
would not show up at the appointed
time, and they now try TO place the
blame on the Pecllville club. 1t was
fully arranged two weeks before the
shoot was to take place that Peck
vile grounds would be used, and the
Peckville club waited until p. m. for
the Columbias to appear and then a
committee was appointed to wait upon
them shortly after O'Clock that af-
ternoon, the committee found the COL
umbias on their own grounds, seven
men shooting at one bird with the
chances in the birds favor. The COM
mittee was told by the Columbias that
they would not shoot on Peckville
grounds as they understood that the
shoot was to take place on their
grounds. They did not mention the
fact that members of the club had
stated that the shoot would not take
place because they understood that the
Peckville club had taken in several
good shots of late and they would
stand no show. While the members OF
the Peckville club are not given to
blowing their own horn as loudly as
others, they did not let twenty out of
the first twenty-six birds get away
without their feathers being ruffied. We
make mention of the above at the re-
quest of several members of the Peck
villa plnh who take axaantinnc 10 the
false reports that have been circulated
since Tuesday.

the baths Of Titus and those of Cara
Gala. The necessary authority has
been granted to appropriate and pull
down the modern buildings in the
neighborhood, so that the ruins may
be isolated and connected by pleasant
shady walks, an inestimable boon to
the tourist and the antiquary.
The works already undertaken in the
Roman Forum have led from the out
set to important results. They have
replaced several columns of the elegant
shrine on the Via Sacra. near the bend
round the temple of Caesar, a shrine
supposed to have been erected either
by Traian or Hadrian. Seven huge
marble pillars now strewn in frag-
ments along that street toward the
capitol are being carefully pieced and
replaced where Diocletian erected
them, their bases, by good fortune,
having been found and identified. The
remains of the temple Of Vesta have
been thoroughly investigated and it's
site eXcavated to it's very foundation,
and thus have been settled many dis
puted archaeological points, which are,
however, uninteresting to the general
reader. When everything still exist
ing in the Forum shall have been re-
placed in it's original position, when
all the stones and other relics pilfered
therefrom and still existing in Rome
shall be brought back to their original
site and the accumulation of rubbish
carted away, the Forum will resume
some Of it's ancient glory, or at least We
shall be enabled to form an idea Of
what it was when the Eternal city was
the mistress Of the world
The most important discovery hith-
erto made is yet to be recorded. When
julius Caesar was murdered in the
senate house by the prototypes and
fellow -countrymen Of Caserio, ,Angiolillo
and Lucheni his body was carried TO
to Forum. The body was crema ted
there, and then and on the spot coll
umn of NunIidian marble was raised
with the inscription, ITO the father Of
his country" to mark the spot to fut-
ure generations. The column was re-
moved later on. It's marble is prob
ably gracing some church or cardinals
palace. while its base gradually be-
came buried under the debris Of ages.

CARBONDALE.
HIGHwAYMEN ARRESTED.
Give Constable Neary and Daniel
Lynch a Chase to No. a.

Two Slavish highwaymen, who gave
their Americanized names as Frank
Miller and Andrew Adams, were ar
rested Saturday afternoon on the
mountain near No. after giving Con-
stable Neary and Daniel Lynch hot
chase through the brush.
on Saturday, the 20th day of May,
they held up man named Ferguson
between Richmondale and Blazing
Stump and at the points of two re-
vovers demanded all his valuable pos
sessions. He yielded to the persuasive
power of the bulldogs" and the Slavs
walked off with his watch and forty
cents-all the money he had.
Saturday Ferguson identified the rob-
bers near the circus ground and point
ed them out to Constable Neary. who
said: You are my prisoners" When
he said "you" the men bolted and up
the mountain side they went at break
neck speed. Daniel Lynch, who was
near, took in the situation and with the
constable started in pursuit. AS the
robbers ran they nourished revolver
and a blackjack.
One of them became entangled in a
barbed wire fence, but by tearing his
coat half off he eXtrcated himself be-
fore the officers could reach him. 1t
was a desperate chase in the scorching
sun and the four men were nearly eX-
hausted when the fugitives practically
surrendered by hiding under some
brush near No. 4.
They had thrown away their revolv
ers and black jack, but some interest
ing things were found on the person of
Adams. He is a watch tinker, and in
addition to a kit of tools he had q 500
Confederate note and a $1,000 per
cent gold bond No i477, of The Ameri-
can Atlantic Gable Telegraph company.
The latter is a handsomely engraved
paper and 1t had indications of valid
ity. 1t was signed by A. b. Wilmarth,
president, and ID. G. Banch, treasurer.
1t was accompanied by forty coupons.
The bond was issued in 1870 and made
payable, according to the face, in
twenty years, though it has engraved
on the back that the principal would
be payable November l. 1899 With
the coupons the paper had a face value
of $2,40O.
The bond was later examined by
Cashier Spencer of the Miners and
Mechanics bank and he said it was
evidently a fraud, as it had not been
properly endorsed by the president of
the trust company, and the signature
of Blanch on the bond did not agree
with that on the coupons.
When Adams was given a hearing he
denied the charge of having held up
Ferguson and said he bought the bond
in New York for twenty-five cents just
to look at.
Miller admitted that he felt small for
having taken forty cents from Fergu-
son and said all his trouble was due to
association with his pal.
Both men left Shamokin about a
month ago and spent a short time in
Scranton. Ferguson did not appear
and the men will be given a further
hearing today.
