THE theft of sewing machine y a4
tiIi,issi,ll occurreuee but associated with
,rlSs5urg are many extraordinary ircls
dents, aihings that attract the attention
of the world. It fs the misfortune Of
tins city At this time to be held up to
hdle world as the scene of such theft
as the introduction Of this article mem
tions.
For the past three or four days the
manager and clerks at the Office OF the
Singer Sewing Machine company on Main
street. Just east Of the Jacobs build
ing. alsve found the front door of the Of
tiee unlocked Of mornings, when they
went 10 the Office TO begin the work OF
the day. Nothing especially strange
was. thought of this, except that a key
vas lost some time ago and the belief
was tf1f che one who found itShad used
It 10 enter the office to see what was
going ON.
Wednesday afternoon, however, Miss
MARY Boggess, the boolSkeeper, took an
invoice of the stock, ns is her custom
evcry day or so, and made the startling
discovery that a sewing machine was
missing. She did not know but that
it had been sold, but she called the at
tention Of the manager, p. J. Pancake,
to the matter, and upon investigation, IT
was learned that the machine had mys-
4eriously disappeared.
inst when the theft was committed Is
not definitely known. Miss Boggess left
the Office Saturday evening, and, be-
ing away from home. did not return to
the office until Tuesday morning. She
was so busy with other office duties that
dav that she did not invoice the stock.
but deferred that duty until Wednesday
afternoon, at which time, as has been
already stated. the discovery was made.
The machine was fve-drawer oak,
valued Mt $50, pnd was one of the best
rnochislcs in stock. 1t wHs in the front
mart of the office, before the thief car
ried it Off
Thursday evening the Office door was
locked as usual, when the manager ana
other employees left it for the night. Fri
day morning. however. when Mr.. Pan
cake went to the Office. he found the
door unlocked The Yale lock had been
tampered with and was badly battered,
showing evidences that it had been pick
ed with steel instrument of some sort.
Mr.. Pancake Immediately notified the
CITY officials and they now have the case
in hand. but so far have no clue as to
The identity Of the burglar.
The office, being in public location,
and the article stolen being out of the
ordinary burglars give their attention
and efforts to. it is miraculous that such
a theft was successfully committed and
.5,+ ,1,a BURGLAR was not detected in
the act.

Roskefeller.s Statement.

New York, August I4.-william Rock
efeller publicly stated yesterday that
if stocks advanced points they would
advance 30. No doubt they win tsome
time). but such an ubterlnee gives color
to the theory that Standard Oil inter
ests were going to sell stocks on n ;
10 IO-point advance. ON the other hand,
it Is quite conservative that there are
reasons why William should for once
take the public into confidence.

MILITIA MARksMANsHla.
Prescribed BY Command.
ing General Of the Army.

tReauiations- Prescribed BY Command.
ing General Of the Army.
Lieut.. General Miles, commanding
the army, has issued a general order
prescribing regulations for small arms
firing for the use Of the organized mi
litia or National Guard Of the country.
These regulations were recently re-
viewed by special board Of officers
Of which Major James Parker, United
States cavalry, was president, and they
have since been approved by the Sec
retary Of war.
The special course Of small arms
firing will be preceded by sighting, po-
sition and aiming drillss gallery prac-
tice and estimating distance drills ac-
cording to the methods and rules Of
the regular army, but proficiency in es-
timating distances is not made q reQui-
site for qualification. Ofhcers and SOL
diers, at the end Of the practice sea-
son, will be classified, according to
merit, in the following order: Experts,
sharpshooters, marksmen, first class,
second class, third class and fourth
class. The fourth class includes all
who have not fired and the expert
class includes all who have made the
necessary total to qualify as sharp
shooters and have fired two or more
full scores at 800 and 1000 yards. and
from the best two have made total
nd fhfrfv.fva
at 1000 yards.
The target year will be from Janu-
ary to December 81, and the practice
season will be from May 1 to Octo-
Der 81.
There will be two classes Of compe-
tition, state and national. State COM
petitions, II practicable, will be held
annually. The national competition,
which will be held each year, will be
at such places as shall be designated
by the secretary Of war. The state
teams visiting the national competi-
ton will receive pay, subsistence and
transportation from the appropriation
for the support of the organized mill
tia. The results Of the national COM
petition will be published by the war
department. -
The medals for state competitions
will be fixed br the state authorities.
The medals for the national competi-
tions will be fixed by the secretary Of
war.
There will be company. regimental
and state figures of merit, to be calcu-
lated by the methods laid down in the
new firing regulations Of the regular
army for calculating the individual
figure Of merit, and published by the
war department January Of each
year. The state figure Of merit, SINH
lar to the department figure Of merit,
will be the combined figure Of merit
Of its troops. All figures Of merit will
be computed by multiplying the num-
ber Of expert riflemen by 200; of
sharpshooters by $50; Of marksmen by
100; Of first class by 75; Of second
class men by 80; Of third class men by
10: Of fourth class men by zero, and
by dividing the sum Of the products
thus obtained by the total number Of
officers and enlisted men in the above
seven classes.
