All Of the letters from Manila, when
the American soldiers We're fighting
around that city, refer to the panics
which seized the inhabitants of the
city at frequent intervals. One Of
these stampedes is thus described by
Captain Elliott, of the Coffeeyille COM
qany In the Goth Kansas: About go
o'clock the natives and Chinese were
observed to be running in every di-
rection. Presently the soldiers began
TO come from every avenue in the di-
rection of the barracks. They moved
quickly, but with remarkable GOODNESS
and steady demeanor. Corporal Bah
err whom had sent on an errand near
the barracks of the First Battalion,
came to my room, saluted like the
good soldier that he is, and said:
captain, there is something wrong
going on in the city; the natives are
fairly flying in all directions the Chin
ese are running like rats to their holes
and the stores are being closed"
Like reports came in from every di-
rection from men who had been in
all parts of the city. The call to quar-
tiers was sounded. the rolls were cali

Still at Work.

1t seems that burglars still continue to
haunt the minds of the citizens of Mar
tinsburg. Since their recent raid upon the
city almost everyone has tried to make
their house burglar proof and some OF
the women, and the men too, have re-
tired with the thoughts of burglars upon
their minds. 1t would be safe to say also
that the most popular subject of dreams
lately has been burglars.
On Sunday morning about two o'clock,
Mrs. G. p. Morrison, of w. King street.
noticed the burning hall lamp,in the lower
hall. moving to and fro. The first thought
that entered her mind was that burglars
had attempted to turn the lamp down and
had shaken it. She ran to the window
and called to Mr.. Jones, who lives next
door.
Mr.. Jones had not yet retired and he
quickly crossed over to the house. A
thorough search was made, but no trace
of burglars could be found.
THE DOORS RATIFIED
The occupants of the house OF Mrs. G.
w. DeGrange, S. Maple avenue, also
thought they heard someone at the doors
of their house on the same morning, but
if the burglars made visit to their home
they did nothing to show that they hac
been there.

A Foul Place.

Spring street. south of Stephen, and
running along the railroad to the quarries,
is in such condition as to demand the
immediate attention of the Street Com
mittee. The water not only overtlows the
street for nearly square, but in low
place has become stagnant pool, COW
cred with green scum, and is foul. This
place cannot be other than a breeder Of
disease, its filthy water reaching almost
TO the door of the old house which stands
there and is occupied by colored people
The water that courses along the railroad
should be given proper drainage, and it
should be done at once.
