st. Augustine'a school property on st.

with the circumstances that, had they
remained undiscovered for a few mo.

succeeded in their nefarious purpose.

located near the bowling alley Of the
athletic department found fire in a
bundle Of paper that had been pushed
buck Of a door that opened against the
stats separating the bowling alley from
The hallway. The paper had been
pushed under the strips, the door pull,

The little fellows who discovered the
flames reported the matter immediate.
~ and the fire was extlnguished by the
teachers and without the necessity Of
sending an alarm. At first It was

at the residence Of Rev. Father Jno.
Mcl'lisott, Just alongside the school
building, asking for something to eat.
He was supplied from the convent
kitchen with bread and butter, but he
grew angry and threw the lunch away,
mu.tering something as he left the
door. When the fire had been dis.
covered and extingulshed, Father Nc.
Elligott heard that some Of the smaller

school building near the noon hour,

town on freight train or afoot before
the search was Instituted, for among
the boys looking for the man were
those who visited every haunt where
such person could be found.
The occurrence was one Of a yery
startling nature to Father McElligott
and the teachers in st. Augustine's.
While they can hardly realize that
anyone would be so depraved as to
attempt to fire a. building in which so

YOUNG HIGHWAYMAN
 IS LANDED IN JAIL
Luard Glover Is Held as One of the Gang That Robbed Slav Near
 BIossburg.

Luard Glover, the third member of the gang of boy highwaymen who held up and robbed a Slav named A. Libertin, near Blossburg, some time ago, was ar rested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff J. r. Brents. and placed in the county jail without bond. Glover is F years old.
 It will be recalled that on last Sunday Deputy Brents arrested two boys on a charge of highway robbery. and the two boys admitted having been in the gang which held up Libertin, but denied hay ing taken any active part in the robbery They stated that there were five in the gang, and that they took $150 from the old man.
 Glover, who was arrested yesterday, also admits that he was in the gang which held Libertin up, but says that when he heard them talking of robbing the old man he left them and went home. He states that there were six In the gang.
 Deputy Brents found Glover working in the coal mines at Sayre. When he was arrested he did not know that the other boys had told on him, but talked freely of the matter.
 According to Glovers story, there are still three of the young highwaymen at large. Every effort Is being made to To- cate the young fellows.

JUNK TAKEN FROM
 COUNTY PRISONERS
SHERIFF MAKES THOROUGH Ex- ANIMATION AND FINDS TWO KNIVES AND A NAIL FILE IN THE WHITE JAIL.

One of the regular examinations of the county jail was made yesterday after noon, and quite a lot of junk" was taken from the various cells in both the whits and negro prisons. Two knives and a fingernail file were found In the white jail. One of the knives was discovered snugly fixed among the straws of broom near where the handle is fixed to the broom. In the negro jail a lot of old cot hangers, which had been unscrewed from the cells, were found, but there was little else discovered.
 Before the search of the white jail was made Sheriff Higdon went in and talked to the prisoners. He told them that if they had knives or other weapons it would be better to surrender them than to have them taken away. He also told them that if any of them had trouble with other prisoners they should report the matter and let the sheriff look after the offending prisoner
 The prisoners all seemed to take the talk to heart, and there is little doubt that the talks given them by Colonel Higdon will make them friendly both to the other prisoners and to the sheriff's men.

puN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
Confidence Is Returning and the Out.
 look Is Very Promising.

New York, November 30.-R. c. Dun & Co.'c weekly review of trade says:
 Confidence is returning but conserva- tism is still much in evidence, espe- cialy in manufacturing. Mills and fac tories are only operated to fill orders, no accumulation of stocks being permit ted pending more settled conditions. Some idle plants have already resumed, how ever, and in many cases there are ample contracts on hand, but work is curtailed by customers who request delay in de- livery as funds are not available for settlement. These concerns expect to have machinery in full operation when the money market becomes normal; sev- eral preparing to resume after January 1. Retail trade is more active, sales of holiday goods supplementing dealings in staple merchandise and some western cities report that wholesale houses are receiving orders of usual size from coun- try merchants for spring delivery More closed banks have resumed, gold has arrived from Europe in large volume and bank note circulation expands in response to special facilities offered by the treas ury. One of the best features of the week at this city was the. practical elim- ination of premium on currency.
 The output of finished steel products has declined still further. and more pig iron furnaces are idle, but the sentiment is not demOralized at leading centers, ana some idle plants will resume next week. Prices remain comparatively steady, all though in many cases the figures are practically normal, owing to the absence of new business. Shipments are almost entirely confined to specifications on old contracts for which quotations were fixed some time ago.
 Prospects are brighter for an early resumption of buying in the primary mar kets for cotton goods. Stocks in the hands of distributors are known to be depleted and reduction in work at the mills hos prevented any accumulation at first hands. Meanwhile quotations remain nominally unchanged and no readjust-
