PRICE THREE CENTS BURGLiRS IN CUSTODY. NASBED WBCII.E BOBBING HDENNE- BERG’S STORE. Officers Martin and Post Steal a March A Upon Them—Pour of Them Arrested On the Premises and Pive More On the Streets — Arraigned Before Cox. Between ten and eleven o’clock last night police ofBcer Martin was notified that burglars had taken possession of Henneberg’s bottling (stablishment, on Front street He called upon officer Post for assistance, and they went to the place and found a number of tramps busy carry ing out boxes and kegs of beer by the rear door. j The officers stealthily entered the build- j ing by the front door and crept to the rear I of the store. They then took up positions near the door and -waited the arrival of the burglars, who had left some of the beer out on the track and were rettmaing for another load. The officers remained perfectly quiet until two of the unsus pecting night prowlers entered, when they were immediately taken in custody. Be fore they could give any alarm to their fellow associates, in fact, before theyj knew they were caught, two more entered i and these also were collared by the officers, I who, thinking that was all they could conveniently attend to at one trip, took them to the lockup and placed them be- ’ hind the bars. * j They then returned to the store, but] found that the remainder had fled, leav- ^ ing beer kegs, bottles, boxes, etc., scat-' tered about the track. They sent word to Mr. Henneberg's residence, and that gentleman was soon af the store, where he made a search and found that the bur glars had secured two kegs of lager, five boxes of bottled beer, two cases of soda water, two overcoats, two other coats and other articles of wearing apparel, valued in all at about $100. The officers then made a tour of the village, and found five other tramps whom they arrested and placed in jail as heiig qonnected -with the burglary. The burglars gamed entrance to the Store by forcing open the rear door, part of the jamb cf which was forced off. They evidently had but little fear of the police, as some of them even waited to change their old dothes for some of Mr.! Henneberg’s stolen property. They have, undoubtedly, come to the conclusion, ere this, that the Port Jervis police are not so bad as reported, after all. This morning four of the burglars were taken before Justice Cox. They gave their names as follows: William White, aged %% years, of Paterson, N. J.; Patrick Carroil, aged 19, of Jersey City, N. J., and Charles Murray and John Lynch, both of Newburgh. They all pleaded not guilty to the charge of burglary and larceny, and examinations were set down for to-morrow. SHOHOUA BRIERS. Putting in Steam Heat-After the Cliest- xmts—A Ne-w Bwelllng. S hohola , Oct. 16.—Samuel Kirkpatrick, formerly in the employ of J. F. Kilgour, has gone in business on his own responsi bility and is doing a rushing business so far. He is a young man of ability and we hope his efforts will meet withsuc- Kossuth Casper of New York city was in town yesterday, calling on his old friends and acquaintances. Dr. Johnston is having his residence heated by steam. Malven, Gordon & Co. of Port Jervis are doing the work. Mr. Twitchell, the popular teacher of the Barryville school, is confined to the house-with a cold, and school is closed in consequence. Under the skillful care of Dr. Johnston we hope to see Mr. Twitchell out again in a few days. Mrs. Mattie Quick, Cora Frace and Lillie Calkins went out chestnutting yes terday and met with grand success. They gatt'ered in all about a bushel.

Sixteen carloads of steel rails were yes terday received in this village for the ex tension of the P. J., M. & N. Y. railroad. They were shipped from Dunmore, Pa,, via the Brie and Wyoming Valley road, thence over the Hawley branch and main line of the Erie to this village, to be sent up the Monticello branch. A carload of fish-plates were also received and others are expected daily. This looks like busi ness, and we hope by next spring to see another important railroad running into this village. 6I.A1> TO KNOW IT. We are pleased to know on the author ity of the Gazette that democrats were present in considerable numbers at the republican meeting at the Rink Wednes day night, despite the warning which that journal has given them not to go. If democrats would only continue to attend republican meetings and hear the issues of the campaign discussed by such speakers as Mr. Schoonmaker, there would no ^corporal guard left of them on election THEIR EIRST HOP. A party of about twenty young men of this -village have recently organized a social club, for the enjoyment of them selves and friends during the winter months. Last night they held their ini tial hop at Famum’s ball. About thirty couples were present, and of course, ai exceedingly pleasant time was had. Th( supper, wMcb was of the first class order, Tvas furnished at the Park Hotel. Olune's orchestra furnished the music for danc- ing. ^ EIEUIAN KENNEDX'S COMPANX. Our readers will be pleased to learn that M ibb Lillian Keimedy and her dramatic company will commence a week’s engage ment at the Opera House on Monday next, opening with the presentation of a play never before seen in Port Jervis, “ Casey’s Troubles,” in which Mr. Kelcey keeps tne audience in a roar of laughter every tii he app^rs on the stage. BEACK HAWKS TO-MOBBOW. The play of “ Black Hawks,” which is to be played at the Opera House to-mor row night, is one of great excitement and full of stirring dramatic situations. It was the lot of Arizona Joe when on the march to be made- game supplier. The troops had to he extremely cautious of their ammunition, and as Arizona Joe was the most successful shot, no one else was trusted with the flasks. ‘ ‘Black Ha-wks; or. The King of the Concomone,” while far from being so blood thirsty as the title would indicate, has just enough of the wild West about it to delight fashionable and refined audiences, and no doubt a crowded house -will greet Arizona Joe and his company.

Stiles, managing editor of the Garden and Forest, the leading horti cultural paper of the country, and his brother-in-law, Mir. E. M. Millen of Deck- ertown, associate agricultural editor of the Philadelphia Press, were at the Criss- man House last week. They were riding through this section on horseback en route to Delaware Water Gap, Mauch Chunk, etc. Mr. Stiles is one of the ablest edi torial writers in the country and, besides filling the responsible position on the Gar- den and Forest, is connected with the New York Tribune and Philadelphia Press. He was traveling for the benefit of his health, which is shattered. He is a son of the late Professor Stiles of Mt. Retire ment Seminary.—Milford Dispatch. PEEE OUT OE THE WAGON. A correspondent of the Warwick Dis patch says that an Edenville man while re turning from Goshen, Wednesday evening of last week, fell out of the wagon, and on getting up found his horse, wagon and child gone. The horse took tae child home in safety. No explanation is vouch safed as to how it happened that the man met with the very unusual mishap of tumbling out of his wagon, but as he was returning from Goshen it is possible to make a good, guess as to the cause of the accident. THE PBX PAMIEX COMING. Mme. Pry and her accomplished daugh ters will give a concert in the Presbyterian church next Thursday evening, Oct. 25th, under the auspices of the “ Willing Work ers ” of that church. We can assure the readers of the U nion that a treat is in store for all who attend. These ladies give a delightful evening’s entertainment. They appeared in Honesdale last winter and were greeted with a very large and enthusiastic audience. They should meet with the same reception here. GOSPEL TRUTH. The New York Herald special corres pondent who has been looking up things in Poughkeepsie and vicinity writes: I have tried to put as good a face on the democratic situation in the counties visited by me as the facts would warrant. But the fact is the democrats in Westches ter, Putnam, Dutchess and Columbia counties are in bad shape. * * * You cannot rub out facts, and when the demo crats confess defeat beforehand it seems useless not to say so.

He Says that The Revenue Must not he Redncccl at the Expense of Protection. Hill’s Record on 'Temperance and Electoral Reform Criticised. N kwb - ctegh , N . T., lOct. 18.—Hon. Warner Miller and Col. S. V. R. Cruger reached this city at 7 o’clock this evening on a special train over the Erie road from Middletown, where both addressed a large republican mass meeting this afternoon. Mr. Miller and the Colonel were escorted to Newburgh by the Tippecanoe club of 200 men under the command of Oapt. J. M, Dickey, and a large delegation of New burgh citizens. They were welcomed at the station by a large crowd of people and great enthusiasm was manifested. A short but brilliant torchlight parade followed, after which the Republican State candi dates were driven to the home of Mayor O’Dell, whose guests they are. At 8 o’clock the Columbia theatre was filled to overfiowing. Hon. J. G. Graham was elected chairman of the meeting. He introduced the Republican candidate for Governer as one who had attended school in this city forty years ago, and who had since been a gallant Union soldier, a State Legislator, Congressman and United States Senator. The audience cheered Mr. Miller repeatedly as he arose. The speaker stated that the great ques- tit»n at issue m this campaign was that of the tariff, the republicans being firm for the protection of American industries as in the past. He charged the democratic party with attempting to break down the tariff under which the country had grown prosperous,, education been promoted and the people had been made happy and con tented. He claimed that inventive genius was at work all the time under the pro tective tariff, inventors being spurred up to better efforts on account of its benefits, He added that all the argument of the democratic party amounted to this—that there is a surplus. He was thankful there was a surplus. If we are to reduce the revenue by the tariff, he said, we will re duce it without removing the protection upon the products of American labor. The republican party will never favor changes in the fiscal system which will make it impossible to do equal and exact justice to every man who wore the blue. When that is done we will figure up and see how much we can reduce the duties sugar. The people of the North are coming to believe that it is not safe to entrust their interests to men who do not believe in their political ideas. The speaker criticised the Governor’s vetoes of temperance measures and fol lowed with a discussion of electoral re form and a criticism of Governor Hill’s veto of the Saxton bill. Col. Cruger followed Mr. Miller with a short speech, Mr. Miller speaks at Whitehall to-mor« row night. EEBSONAE.

The New Cliimney of the Clarh Thread Co. in Newark, The Scientific American for this week has an interesting article onhighchimnies. The article was inspired by the comple tion of the chimney erected by the Clark Thread Company at Newark, N. J., and as it is the tallest chimney in this country we thought that a few comparisons might be of interest to the readers of the U nion . This chimney was built by the Clark Thread company for boiler purposes only and is 335 feet high there being only three chimnifis in the world that exceed it in bight. Namely : Townsend’s chimney, Glasgow, Scot land, height from ground to coping, 425 feet. Outside diameter at ground, 32 feet. Outside diameter at top, 13 feet 4 inches. Thickness of wall at base, 5 feet 7 inches. Cost i68,000. Tennant «& Co.’s chimney, Glasgow, Scotland, height from groilhd to coping, 435 feet 6 inches. Outside diameter at ground, 40 feet. Outside diameter at top, 13 feet 6 inchea Dobson & Barlow’s chimney, Bolton, England, height from ground to coping, 367 feet 6 inches. Octagonal in section. Outside diameter at base,83 feetlO inches. Outside diameter at top, 13 feet 2 inches. Cost £3,000, Over three years were devoted to the building ©f the Townsend chimney. Ten nant & C5o.’s was built in one year. The chimney at Newark is a circular shaft with a diameter at the base of 28 feet 6 inches and at the neck 14 feet with a circular flue inside that is 11 feet in diameter. At the top is a cap of cast iron that weighs 6 tons and the weight of the entire chimney is placed at 5,000 tons. The chimney was built in less than a year the work being done by 8 brick layers and 5 helpers while 7 laborers supplied the material and sent them up on the elevator which was run by a set of signals arranged to avoid confusion and enable the men at the top to let the men at the bottom know what to send up. Tr.e total cost was $30,000 and 1,697,- 231 brick were used in its construction. No means are provided for ascending the chimney after the elevator is removed. Should it become necessary to do so, a balloon, with a line,can be sent up through the central flue and allowed to lose its gas and descend on the outside. This will provide means for drawing up a line of sufficient size to enable a man to ascend the shaft. IN PIKE COUNTY. Interesting News From Milford and Vi- From the Milford Dispatch. Isaac L.

The Middletown Press publishes the following letter from a correspondent: Professor—'What was the revenue from customs duties of the United States in 1887? Democratic scholars in chorus—$179,- 741.331.71. Professor—Right I Now how much will be the revenue from customs under my (Mills) bUl? Scholars in chorus—$86,534,183.08. Professor—Righlf again 2 Now then, boys, how much does that reduce the rate of duties on imported goods ? Small boys with pencil—Over 50 per cent., sir. Big boys in chorus—No, no, only 7 per Professor—The large boys are right, as usual, but, boys, let us prove this to be the correct solution of the problem so we can be able to explain it to the ignorant republican boys, who do not seem to un derstand it as we do, or to figure it out m the same way. The problem to be solved, boys, is this: ^ “ If the revenue from customs duties on imported goods in 1887 was $179,741,- 331.71, then wnat part of that amount is 7 per cent?” amali boy wiih pencil—$12,581,893.22. tSig boys in chorus—No I no, no, 7 per cent. 01 $179,741,331.71 is $93,207,- 547.63. Professor— The large boys are right again, and your intelligence and quick- uesa in solving difficult problems leads me to nope that many of you may occupy piomineut positions in future democratic aiimimsirations—suould there he any. And the Professor sighed as ne thought of the probabilities that this would he tne l^st one for perhaps a generation to I’nese figures are from the Mills bill as published in New York as a campaign document, with the exception of the small boy’s figures, who was absolutely correct in nis figuring and must have been a re publican boy. The revenue in 1887 was $179,741,331,- 71; the revenue as per Mills bill $86,- 534,783.08, whicn is nearly 50 per cent less than in ’87.—Relhas in Middletown THB SBVBN PEE CENT BEDUOTION. The false pretense that the Mills bill only represents a reduction of 7 per cent, is aptly illustrated by Leonard Brown,, better known as the “Iowa Blacksmith,’’’ who says: “WeU, if a farmer should take only seven rails from his fences, the hogs. would get into his wheat and corn fields and des roy all his crops, and in like man ner a 7 per cent, reduction of the existing, tariff will let in the English hog.’’ There was a large excursion over the Ontario and Western from Oswego Tuesday night en route to New York, consisting of nine cars, three being parlor cars. Five cars filled with the excursionists were on No. 6 Wednesday morning.
