 Stripped.

Essex, Oct 5.-Parmelee's grocery store near the steamboat dock was broken into early Saturday morning and about $4O0 worth of goods stolen. A large power boat of this place was stripped when the crew were on shore leave and the watchman was absent. The loot was taken away in row. boat. When it was known about the village that such big haul had been made there was a good deal of excite ment and many citizens visited the scene of the operations of the thieves.
 The lock on the front door of the grocery was picked. Among the ar- ticles stolen were ten cases of canned goods. A safe in the store was not touched, but $2O was taken out of the store. A half barrel of sugar was also missed. The power boat was robbed of it's dynamo and everything movable of any value.

Dexter has been pra acically abandoned, and there seems little likelihood that the mystery surrounding the million aires death will ever be solved. The reward of $5,0Oo offered by MT. Dex- ter's father resulted in few spasmod- ic efforts by amateur detectives at the outset, but the ciews they had to work on were blind, and the men were quick ly discouraged.
 Surprise has been expressed, not that MT. Dexter had met violent death, but that he lived as long as he did.

Real Estate and Rents
O'NEILL'S BULLETIN.

Perhaps it is just as well at times not to say what you think, but am a great believer in saying exactly what I think, whenever I please. What I am getting at is that some real estate man was quoted the other day as say ing, in the Morning Republican, that on the election depended whether sev- eral big real estate deals would go through or not. This is all poppy cock. The fact that MT James Lynch being mayor is certainly not going to tie up MT Blanks money in a savings bank at four per cent, while if he in- vested in real estate he would get a return of ten per cent. MT Lynch's being mayor is not going to be the sig nal for bloodshed riot and disorder. MT Elton being mayor is not going to be the signal for factory bosses going around among the employees and hand ing them ten dollar bills. However, this has nothing to do with real es- tate, nor did I intend that it should

BANK RAISES INTEREST.
Pennsylvania Institution Will
 Pay Five Per Cent.

It Is One of the Strongest Banks in
 the Coal Regions-Rate Raised to
 Induce People With Money in Their
 Stockings to Place It In the Bank.
 Pittsburg, Sept 1S.-Considerable interest was created among Pittsburg bankers to-day by the announcement that the Second National bank of Con- nellsville, Pa, has decided hereafter to pay per cent interest on savings ac- counts. The purpose of the officials is to induce those who have been hoard ing wealth at tnme to place the money in banks. Unusual demand for money inspired the launching of the new plan. It is claimed that u 9 action of the Connellsville bank in paying 5 per cent is the first taken since the re bellion by any banking institution in the United States.
