 Having obtained the information he
 desired he bade his new acquaintances
 farewell and set out again on his jour
 hey. going in the direction of New York. At a safe distance he struck off | toward the Hudson river, and late in l the evening arrived at the house of a
 man named Young. There were still | lights to he seen in the window, and he | mapped on the door. MT. Young him self opened it and inquired what the | stranger wanted. Youngs sentiments l were those of S good rebel" Crosby called him out and soon convinced him of the sincerity of his own sentiments. He then disclosed to him the plans for forming d company to aid the British. The committee of safety then had it's headquarters at White Plains. There si no time to be lost" said Young. II think we would better go on to White
 Plains immediately and inform MT. Jay
 of the committee. He is there now.
 Are you equal to making the remainder
 of the journey?"
 Crosby thought he was, and together
 they started on foot for White Plains. After walking about four hours through the darkness they reached MT. Jays
 house It was now two o'clock in the morning, but they did not hesitate to arouse Mir Jay. To him Crosby told what he knew os the tory project, and it was resolved to capture the compa- ny. A body of men was provided for the purpose, and Crosby went with it to the rendezvous of the tories. He stayed ill the background while the troops closed in on the unsuspecting loyalists and watched with great satis- faction while they were successfully rounded up.
 Crosby's success in this exploit led the committee of safety to ask him to serve as spy for the purpose of learn ing more of the plans of the tories. He accepted the commission, and, repre- senting himself to be a tory, got in touch with several different groups of those who were forming companies, which were successively captured through his knowledge of their plans. In his role as a tory he was more than once taken prisoner as such and was | obliged to escape as if one of the enemy l in order to carry out the ruse These l escapes were thrilling, and his compa- triots looked upon him as a rticular- ly dangerous man. In course of time | the tories began to suspect his loyalty, l and it became necessary to transfer him to another field of labor.-New York Tribune.

anxious to enter Bucknell university,
but owing to his age and not being suf-

caused, as the question could not be
decided until his return. Yesterday,
however, the following telegram was

"One of the greatest enemies Of
self government is the saloon and
all that 1t represents, and either
the saloon must perish or the
republic will PERISH" she said. "The
perpetuity of our government de-
pends upon the character of our people

God has given us abundant resources
and there is no other nation which has
such a future or so much wealth as
ours, but we ought to shut our gates
for awhile and educate the people in
this country now before permitting
others to land"
Mrs. Hunt believes the saloon will
perish through the enactment and en-
forcement Of temperance educational
laws, and petitioned her hearers to en-
ercise the power of the ballot in select
ing men who will represent this idea
and enact such legislation as will bring
about such results. She reiterated her
belief that the saloon must perish or
the republic will perish.

Farr followed the same lines they pur-
sued in their addresses at the Dunmore
meeting.
MI Thomas expressed the belief free

issues in the 1904 campaign. If there
should be a falling off in the Repub
lican representation in congress now,
it would lend encouragement to the
Democrats to make Il vigorous fight on
these issues, which. as experience has
shown. would mean unrest generally
and industrial depression. particularly.
With the Republicans victorious now,
the Democrats will be likely to leave
these disturbing issues alone, and the
country will rest easy knowing that
if the tariff is to be revised it will b.
revised by its friends.
Mr. Thomas spoke of the candidates
on the Republican ticket and paid a
particularly high tribute to the worth
and ability of Judge Nosburg. whose
neighbors cheered him to the echo.
