Boston, March S.-Ernest Roeber de-
feated the "Terrible Turk in a Graeco-
Roman wrestling match last night in
Music Hall, winning the bout, which,
under the conditions intervening, was
also the match. The Turk was a giant
in stature as compared with Roeber,
and his skill was his opponents equal
apparently. After the match the Turk 5

was not the Turks advantage, and
forthwith challenged Roeber to a match

OUR FINEST.
A Correspondent DwelIs at Length on
Local Police ProteotIon.

EDITOR HERALD II was with mingled
amusement and Indignation that ! read in
your paper Of last evening Of the efforts Of
some of our borough fathers to bolster up the
police force of town. l have tried TO bring
up to memory one redeeming feature in their
behalf, but hopelessly failed, and to my
horror find that the Borough Council has
put upon our shoulders as taxpayers almost
the same officials.
The attempts of COuncilmen Bell, Coakley
and others to impress upon the minds of the
taxpayers that this town had police protec-
tion last year was little short of audacious
impudence. Mr.. Bell said at the last or
ganizatiou that he favored police force OF
ten men Merciful heavens Does Mr..
Bell want to make soldiers" home of the
town.
But to the point Wherein did the Dor.
ough have police protection last year2 Three
murders were committed in town during the
past year. Did the police force catch any OF
the murderers? Echo answers, nit" The
only thing the force succeeded in doing was
to run up two bills for sending telegrams to
various parts of the country.
How many robbers did the police catch :
They spent whole night, not long ago, in
following four suspicious characters but did
not arrest or catch any of them. Yes, they
captured poor man with a sack of flour on
his back but this man couldn't run away
with his burden.
A few nights ago the street light wires were
cut and ropes on dozen or more light poles
located in different parts OF the Third
Fourth and Fifth wards were cut, and the
pieces of rope carried away. This was be-
fore midnight. Where were the seven police
men then2
have kept a close watch on all occur
the stupidity of the burglars in not carrying
off our banks and other establishments.
What have the taxpayers to say about the
facts ! present, and which must have beer
within the know ledge of the Councilmen be
fore the last organization of Council, because
they have been public property?
will not ask the Councilmen what they
think, because in spite of them Mr.. Bel
would still have ten policemen and Mr.
Coakley would only talk of the numbers OF
the past police forces, and Mr.. So.and-So. who
wants job for his relative, would fail Il
comprehend.
Let the good work 90 on. l will console
myself with the thought that if the police il
as compent during the next twelve monthi
as it was incompetent during the past twelve
the POttsville Jail will not be large enough
to hold all who should be put behind the bars
At the same time l will await the millennium

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March S.-Four
masked men broke into the general store
of G. E. Kern, in Hanover township, at
1 O'Clock in the morning and blew the
safe open with dynamite. They secured
about 800 in cash and two silver
watches. While the robbers were drill
ing a hole in the safe a miner named
Emory Hitchcock passed the store.
Fearing he would give an alarm the
burglars seized him, pointed revolyers
at his head and dragged him into the
store. They gagged and bound him. He
was not released until the arrival Of
the clerks at o'clock.
