Negley. '"at more than one .oi which,
BOY ltke,.I was changing around.
How Mr. McGaw Sfopped Crime.

! The Mayors Office and the police
! force had been practically abolished, anC
the Provost Marshal had charge OF the
affairs of the city. as far as law and
order we're concerned. This became
very dlstasteful to the citizens, and
especially to certain class who did
not 80 much nina being taken up be-
fore their own Recorder, but objected
vigorously to being carried before a
Yankee Provost Marshal.
The discipline of the soldiers. too,
had become very lax, and there was
constant complaint at headquarters
about crime generally, and stealing
especially. Offenses became more and
more fragrant, and, every. few nights
some house was burned.
In conference between Gen. Negley
and Mr.. McGaw, the latter alleged
that these crimes were being com
mitted by the soldiers. while the
former attributed it to the lawless
element in the community. Finally,
Gen. Negley told Mr.. McGaw to take
charge OF rue city aud reorganize the
police torce Mr.. MoGaw said that it
would be necessary to permit the police
to carry pistols, and the provost guard
to be ordered to support them with
force II required in making arrests.
Gen. Negley agreed to this, and
further said that ne would give him
and VIM. }. Andrews the pass word
every night; but he impressed 1t on
them that il the confidence In the
pass word was abused, that 1T might
cost HIM his commission in the army,
If by that means Dune
COoper's or any similar troop of
cavalry should BIZ enabled to get IN
town. 1t is hardly worth while to )
FAY that this confidence was never
abused.
Almost immediately on Mr.. Me-
Claws being replaced in control Of !
the burnings stopped, but the /
provost guard aided very unwiIlingly
when called on, especially when any

Proverbs

When the butter won'1
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion !
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

BASE BALL.
Chestnut Posts on Hand. Now Pick
Your Bulletin Boards.

One hundred and sixty fine chestnut
posts were hauled to the prospective
ball park last week with the view of
erecting them as soon'as the weather
conditions are favorable. The fence
is to be eight foot high and there will
he three sides built. one on the north,
another on the south and the other on
the west On the west, or Main street
side, there will be placed wire six feet
in height on top of the fence, running
the entire length of the field. This is
done to save the balls battcd in that
direction. and we venture to say that
not many will ovcrreach il. On the
east side Of the field lies steep hill
aud fence is not needed This hill
is included in the rental of the ground
and 10 one will be allowed its use nm
less they pay for it. The next move
after the posts are put in (which, by
the way, are paid for will be the cree
ton of the fence and if our business
fraternity are going to buy space from
il, now is the time to make yourchoice.
The following committee will give you
any information desired President,
Arthur Van Malta, Secretary. John X.
Botti, Treasurer, J. Il. Kline, aud Man
ager James D. MacKay. This would
make one of the best advertising places
that you could get and we feel sire
that great benefit will be derived from
It, and when once there they will re-
main for years. One hundred and
fifty loads of ashes have been dumped
on the field with the addition Of about
twenty-five good size loads of einders.
There are yet ten weeks before the
opening game, which, at the rate Of
thirty loads a week, would add three
hundred more loads, but as the wealth
er gets warmer less coal will be burn
cd aud the result would be less ashes,
50 if our mills will keep up the good
work aud keep sending their spare
cinders, we will have a good field be
fore we are aware Of IL A few moro
dollars come in each week and the in-
terest still keeps up, but more funds
can be used and we hope more will be
forthcoming. There are several lists
out yet, one of which is quite large,
but as the gentleman is not ready to
hand it in, we must wait for its publi-
.cat;on 'Thic ,voolsfa 1iaf.

FREE LIBRARY.

The Free Library made possible by
generous gifts by many of our citizens
a year ago has proved n greater sue
cess than WIS anticipated. The con
siderable addition then made to the
former meagre income admitted of n
general renovation Of the library, the
addition Of many new books and re.
moyal to the present room which is
pleasant easily accessible, aud well
warmed and lighted.
That the new arrangement IL APP
preciated by our people IS shown by
the fa eft that the number of borrowers
formerly 90 has increased TO $40.
From the lateat reports il appears that
there are about 500 books in circulation
at the time, aud that the number TAX
en- out in day ranges from 10 to
about 40.
An object kept in view by the true
tees is the gradual formation Of n
Reference Library that should be
valuable for the use Of the pupils of
tho public schools "a well as Of our
citizens generally and it is gratifying
to note that n large and increasing
number Of the scholars Of the schools
are making use Of the reference books
already provided, TO which additions
are TO he made as the funds may per-
nit. During the year about $40 new
hooks were added. These included
both new publications. md copies Of
standard works needed TO replace
books too much worn for use. A
number of valuable books have been
presented by some Of our citizens.
Among these are Century Dictionary
and Atlns, n most valuable addition to
to the works of reference; and quite
recently the Saturday Readng Club
through Prof Scobey, presented scy.
eaal books OF travel and others of
general interest.
Nearly 300 books have been rebound
and corps of volunteer worker have
put in order some hundreds of others
which needed slight repairs.
Visitors to the Library are afforded
ample opportunity to examine the
books and are discovering besides II
large collection Of works Of fiction
there is a well selected assortment Of
those relating to history. travel and
miscellaneous subjects which are well
worth their attention.

Fire Discovered on Bridge Street.

Fire was discovered in the second
story of l.. Saline's J, aud 10c. store
on Bridge street formerly occupied by
J. b. Brattonl at an early hour Thurs
day morning by Excise Commissioner
Winfield s. Ent, the efficient and ever
watchful fireman Of the Union Fire
Company, and quickly summoning aid
he extinguished the flames that might
have otherwise made serious confia-
grafton. 1t seems that the person in
possession Of this store is occupying
the second floor as a dwelling, and
there being no stovepipe hole he cut
one, as he supposed, into the chimney,
but instead il was between the plaster
and the outside wall. \ fire was start
ed in the stove the morning before and
burned therein all day and night, and
how il did SO without at once causing

it didn't, aud we are thankful tor il,
and also thankful TO Mr. Emf for his
discovery when il did break out.
