A Reminiseense.

Way back, IN the COS. In a nearby
College Town, there was an old party,
in the general store business, who had
anything one called for. "a number
Of students were discussing him; and
one of the boys said; TIL bet $500
that he can let you have anything
you may call for; another said, I'll
take you; the money was put up, when
the first asked, what are you going to
call for? The other said, wait till we
get there, then, you'll find out. So,
the crowd went to the store and, when
he asked what he could show them,
the fellow said, have you a second
hand pulpit? The merchant stroked
his long beard a moment, and said
yes, believe ! have; come with me to
the ware-room, and I'll see. After a
little rumaging around, he produced
the pulpit. This, of course brought
down the house on the loser. 1t turn
ed out in evidence, that a frame
church was, a few years before, sold,
to makeroom for a new brick edifice;
the old mar bought it, and, after sell
ing the lumber, he took the pulpit to
his wareroom, where it awaited a pur-
chaser.

ncsday afternoon. when he saved the
life Of Lawrence Stevens, eight years
old, after the latter had gone over his

According to members of the
party, the boys had gone in swim

for some time, did not notice that
their comrade, Lawrence Stevens,
had gone over his depth. Young Stew

ladies nearby heard his cries and APP
pealed for help. At this juncture
young Trinkle without hesitation,
lcaped into the water, soon had Stew
ems in his arms and swan with him
safely tc shore.

5000 Quarts of Rum Hidden
In Haystack Revealed
By Flames.

Washington, Pa, Aug. 2.-Seve-
raj thousand quarts # moonsnine
whisky were discovered by Constable
Dockstar, of Cokeburg, when Q nay
stack belo,. ging to John Organnls-
chick. near Cokeburg Junction, on
the Monongahela and Mariana Rail
road, was burned. More than 2OOO
quarts were picked up by the con-
stable and more were destroyed by
the fire. Bursted bottles strewed
the ground for several feet around
the burned stack, Organnischick
was arrested.
1t is believed that the stack was
fired by boys. The burning hay fired
a barn nearby and the BentlnyyI!le
Fire Department was called. While
the firemen were at work q series OF
explosions was heard, increasing as
she fire progressed until they sound
ed like machine gun fire. When the
fires had beer extinguished the hid
den moonShine was discovered. Con
stable Dockstar estimates that there
were fully 5000 quarts IN the en-
tire cache.

The shower at o'clock this morn
ing did not interfere with the voting
in any manner.
There were only small groups of
workers" around the various voting
places, most Of whom were keeping
a check on the voters. Both the Trim
kle and Tucker forces had many au
tomobiles out for the accommodation
of the voters and from the time OF
the opening of the polls this morning
they were kept busy. Indications are
that they will continue busy till the
polls close at 7:10 o'clock tonight.
Many women voted early this
morning and at some of the voting
places it looked as if as many w
men were voting as men. This, how
ever, was not the case.
Representative of the Trinkle and
Tucker forces were OUT in full fore
this afternoon and every effort
be made by both sides to get out fl
vote. Indications point to fair
majority by Trinkle in the city.
The primary has been clean-cut
affair among Democrats and there
has not been any bitterness on either
side, both sides simply, claiming the
merits of the various candidates
whose cause they espoused. Much
interest centers in the fight for the
various local offices and the cane
dates for these offices were out early
and going from one voting place
the other. AN are eager for the rc
turns to learn their fate. As stated
above the polls will not close II
7:1O o'clock tonight and it probab'
will be 9 o'clock at least before Tho
city returns are known. In some
wards it may be even later.
Many citizens living in other plac
who still retain their vote in t
city are here today to participate
the election and they greeted o
friends.
Probably there never was cam
paign in recent years where the
terest became so pronounced during
the last days before the primary.
Reports received early this afternor
are that heavy vote is being p"
ed in Arlington and Fairfax counties
