women and children, who lined both
sides of the street. A shot rang out
from saloon. This was followed by
a shower Of stones. Many Of the
crowd had
Picked Up Sticks and Stones
and were acting in threatening man
1er. Seeing this the sheriff, who had
previously cautioned his men to keep
cool and not to use their firearms, COM
manded them to fire. The order was
sbeyed with terrible results. The crowd
pursued the sheriff and his posse to the
Ferguson House, where they took
refuge.
Sheriff Toole shortly after telephoned
TO, Harrisburg and asked that detach-
nent of troops be sent here. It was
learned that Adjutant General Stewart
was in Philadelphia and telegram

In discussing the needs OF the town
now and prospective gentleman who
is usually very level headed about such
matters remarked that the present de-
pot should be used as a freight depot.
cit should be extended down to the

so will be terribly behind the times.
1.-THE passenger station should go
down on the site Of the old Thompson
property at the wharf That would
put 1t into the center of the town and
would have every advantage that
would he wanted. The present depot
Is all right for situation as a freight
depot but as passenger and freight

much eramped,

Financial Rivalry at ConnellsyilIe.

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, Jan. 20
There is a war on here between the
new Title and Trust Company of
Western Pennsylvania and the three
banks of this town. When it was
proposed to organize the trust com
pany. several Of the stockholders of
the First National Bank of Connells-
vile were among the subscribers, but
their names were withdrawn under
some hard feelings, and when the
trust company opened its doors this
week, the banks noticed that it adj
vertised for deposits from $1.00 up
wards. The trust company promi-
SEES to paw interest on all Time de-
posits. The First National bank has
met this with a counter advertise
ment, also promising interest by pri-
vate arrangement on all time depos
it's. 1t is said the other banks will
also hold to this policy.

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS
Lack OF Enthusiasm Seems To Have
Prevented The Desired Changes.

That weather conditions contribute
largely to the prosperity OF a commun-
ity was exemplified by the announce
ment in the daily papers that the
profits to coal operators resulting
from the shipments made during the
recent rise Of the rivers exceeded $500,
600. This will benefit the inhabi-
tants along the banks Of the rivers
generally.
1t is suggested that system OF
dams and locks would equalize the
profits during different months by
making shipping possible at any time
and result in uniform profits the year
round to all connected with the coal
and shipping business. The improv-
ing Of waterways and inland harbors
hardly needs any recommendation in
a commercial city such as Pittsburg,
as the benefits accruing therefrom are
apparent to the majority Of business
men and citizens; yet the lack OF en-
thusiasm on the part of those most
interested seems to have prevented
speedy improvements. A concerted
effort on the part of all persons desir-
ing the commercial welfare of Pitts
burg and adjacent towns would give
the movement an impetus that might
result in perfect system of water
ways to the southern ports within the
present generation Chron-
icle.

LAUGH TURNED.
President of GroYe City College Gets
the Best Of the JOkers.

A crowd of the women students OF
Grove City college made mild dem
onstration Friday morning against
the hour of commencing chapel.
During this term the chapel begins at
1880 a. m., which is before daylight
and the young people do not relish
turning out Of their beds before this
time. This morning just before the
last chapel bell rang large number
Of women students filed into the room
each one carrying a lighted lantern.
They proceeded to their seats holding
the lanterns on their knees.
The evident amusement Of the 9TH
er students embarrassed the members
of the faculty, but President /. G.
Keller relieved them and turned the
laugh upon the girls by aptly choosing
for the text of his morning discourse
Matthew SIG: LET your light SO
shine before men that they may see
your good works. The lanterns will
not likely appear again.

HARD TO Do
But the Philippi Banks Succeeded adj
mirabiy ia Their Undertaking.

PLilippi is quiet little town on
the Tygart's Valley river, shut in by
the mountains, and quite away form
the world SAYS the Pittsburg Times
It's trading center for large
scope OF country. and to expedite
the business of the community it has
a bank. In Philippi the laws of
mine and thine are simple, well nn-
derstood, and highly respected. A
few nights ago the village went to
sleep as usual, the bank having its
money locked in the safe. Robbers
came. DESTROYED the safe with dyna.
mite, and before the village could
pursue, had fled with their plunder
1t is not hard thing to understand
how they succeeded. Every thing
was working right for the accom-
plshment Of the robbery, and fortune
was against the bank.
Such a scheme will not work one
time in a hundred, for there are so
many trifling impediments to arise
buAb Rfaf bAl 2l1tS dtf t6ltlA iGN0id-
ed with booty. Attempts have been
made to rob country banks, but in
spite of the few precautions thrown
around the banks for protection the
burglars have found but few oppor-
tunities that enabled them to carry
out their plans. Another attempt
of the kind might not be successful
in score of years. Had the men of
Philippi been awakened in time to
know what was going on, the town
would have held funeral over the
burglars to-day. There is scarcely
a country town but somebody will
be aroused to give the alarm If the
bank or other public places in the
heart Of the town are assaulted and
an attempt made to rob. Theoreti-
cally to rob bank in the country is
easy. In practice it results in dead
burglars oftener than in success
And that is still the strongest safe
guard of rural banks. A good safe
in strong vault, and d light in the
window are the other helps.

Place Recently.

of Stores Entered and Booty Secured.
Bank Foils the Robbers -0rganiz-
ed Gang at Work.

The sooner the city authorities get
pair of hloodhounds the tetter says
the Glarksburg Telegram. 1t is im-
perative that immediate action be
taken and that neither time nor mon
ely be spared for the protection OF cur
homes and property. That's what
we pay taxes for and that's why we
have government. Thieving misere-
ants and midnight maraudsrs have
exhausted the patience of the public
and their despicable deeds are no
longer TO be endured. A pre-emptory
demand Is made that they be brought
to Justice. They must be.
These dare devilsare becoming bold
er and holder and their burglaries
numerous and more frequent. Tn
satisfied with a single theft on a single
night they quadrupled them. Their
last nefarious work was the breaking
into the Mountain State Gas Com
pauy's Office Tuesday night and an at
tempt TO get into Londes' store the
same night At the Gas companys
Office they picked the putty off rear
window and pulling the pane out
broke it in twain. Then they entered
ana Picked the safe combination with
a chisel but failed TO get 1t open.
They secured nothing there. At
Lowndes' store they tried all the win
dows and succeeded In raising one OF
the windows IS inches In the grocery
department but were deferred by the
inside shutter. Then they smashsd
the pane in the large lower sash of
the window in the hall leading TO the
carpet department., but did not enter.
The same night B. II. Browns Of
fee was entered by means of the.glass
in the rear window being picked out
and laid aside. The robbers found
the outside doors unlocked but did net
succeed in unlocking the interior doors,
They took "a or s. from a cash draw
and two Columbian half dollars but
rejected lot of old coins.
e. r.. Davis hardware store was
visited that night also. A hole was
cut in the panel of shutter at the
rear door, but the burglars, aevident-
ly, peeped through and seeing an iron
bar on the inside concluded the barri-
cade was more than they could over
come. This iron bar runs across the
door andnis about inches wide. 1t
happened to be just at the point where
they made the peep hole and they pre-
sumed the whole inside Of the door
was made of iron.
The burglars are getting holder and
tried to enter the West Virginia bank
Wednesday night but failed. A hole
an inch in diameter was picked nearly
through panel of the rear door with
dull instrument and the casing that
holds the panel was partly torn off.
The inside Of the door is lined with
iron and the burglars probably asccr-
tanned that fact.
