On Sunday morning, Miss Lou Rtdg- way of Matamoras, while on her return via'special train B. from New York City where she had been making Christmas purchases was the victim of a bold and audacious robbery. She haa placed her packages in the receptacle provided for such porpoees directly over her own seat.\ Among the other articles was a handsome gold headed umbrella, the handle of which protruded so tempUngly from the pack ages among which it was placed that it appeared to have excited the cupidity of a sleek graybearded and respectable looking old gentlemou who occupied a seat di rectly back of Miss Ridgeway. Eveiy- tliing was lovely until the train reached Greycourt when the old gentleman quietly got up aud left the car. After the train pulled oat of the station, Miss Ridgeway inipixming to glance upward, missed her .silk umbrella and on turning ar-ound she observed that the respectable old gentle man had also disappeared and she was not ’ong in putting two and two together and xcacbiag the conclusion that the umbrella and thi old gentleman had gone out to gether. i )u making inquiries of the passengers she ascertained that her suspicious were correct. Heveral of them had seen the old gentleman take the umbrella and go out Of the car but, suppoaing that it was nis ow n properiy they had seen no occas ion to interfere, On her return to this village. Miss Rid.'way informed her father, Warren K, Kidgway, of the occurrence and that gent leman at one« made an effort, through operator Mapes, at the !Brie Hispatoher’s office, to have the thief traced. Mr. Mapes called up the operator at Grey court and learned that a gentleman answering to the description forwarded had been seen at that depot, but it was thought that be had gone oa o v r the branch to New- burt;. The Newburg office was then questioned bat no further trace of the thief could be fouaU. Mr, Ridgway says that he is not look ing for legal redres®. All he asks for is the opportunity to confront the contem ptible thief for just one round and he promises himself to obtain all the satis faction that he cires for. A more contemptible case of petty lar- c'*ny hoa seldom, if ever, come to our knowledge, and it would afford us the most unqualified satisfaction to record the result of an encounter between the sneak thief and the stalwart and justly incensed ex^sheriff of Pike county. —Hub your duds with Tulip soap.

A special dispatch from Albany dated Dec. 22d states that Governor Hill has called a special election in this Senatorial District, for the election of a successor to the late Senator Henry R. Low. Tbe Governor has deferred tbe election until January 29. Much surprise is expressed that be should have postponed tbe election to so late a date. Senator Low died upon December 1, and tbe Governor was le gally informed tbe following day. Yet be delays the bolding of an election for nearly two months. Politicians think tbat one motive for the Governor’s action is to deprive the Republicans of one vote in the Senate, and another motive is to make preparjtions to carry tbe district, if possible, with a Democratic candidate.

At about 6.20 o’clock yesterday morn ing a fatal accident occurred on the E ie at the eastern, end of this village, which cost fireman James Ganley of Brie Express train 14 his lifs. Prom what we can learn the following is the manner in which the accident happened: Erie express train 14 had been running about three hours and a half late on the Delaware di- vision, and conductors on the Eastern di vision were instructed to use three hours and fifteen minutes of ber time. At about six o’clock extra 539, Mullen engineer and Troy conduc.or, went to the lower end of the yard for the purpose of making up their train. Troy was informed by the operator how much of the time of No. 14 was to he used. Having finished the make-up of bis train the conductor up on consulting his watch found that the time given ahead of 14 was nearly up and he had his train side-tracked and returned to the telegraph office for further orders. While the conductor was at the tele graph office the engineer, probably think ing that the train was ready to leave be gan to pull out of the switch. The train being a heavy one it broke in two, about ten cars from the engine and with that number of cars, they proceeded to the '-eversink river bridge. Finding out at this point that he did not have all his train, the engineer stopped. The train had hardly come to a standstill however when express train No. 14, Faulkner con ductor, drawn by engine 144, Ed. Hicks mgiueer and Ganley fireman, rounded the enrveand crashed into the rear of the coal train. The force of the collision was terrific. Several of tbe coal cars were scattered promiscuously about the track and the front end of engine 144 was badly smashed. At the time of the accident fireman Gan- ley was in the tender atteuding to the fire and had stepped to one side, presumably to look at the steam gauge when tne force of the collision c used the huge tender to slide forward on the frame, piuning him lo the cab and killing him instantly. When found he was held in an upright position and his head was resting on his arm on the tender. Toe lower part of his body was crushed to a pulp. A number of railioad men removed the tender aud extiicated his remains which were taken to Camgan’s undertaking es tablishment on Pike street. Engineer E . Hicks of Jersey City, who had charge of the express train remained at his post and escaped without injury. John Curran, a brakeman on the train, was in the cab on the fireman’s side and reaped by jump ing out of the cab window. He sustained a Blight injury to cue hand. As no investi gation has yet been made by the Erie offlolalsthe blame of the accident can not be placed. James Ganley, the dead fireman, was a native of this village and was well known here. He was a son of Thomas Ganley of King street and a brother of officer Wm. Ganley. He has been em ployed as fireman on the Eastern division tor nearly three years and, being large powerful man, was considered one of the best in the service. His remains were yesterday brought to his father’s residence on King street. Confident o f Their Merit. Miss A. M, Peters, Ala , writes under date of 9jpt. 22,1888 : “ Enclosed p'ease find $1 fur which send il-b value in Brandreth’s Pills.

'Novelties of ever? kind at Wells' Baraain Store. when Supervisor Roaencranee presented a petition from the residents and taxpay ers of Deerpark, asking that the Board furnish the County Treasurer with funds, sufficient to supply the defleienoy in the sinking fund, for the redemption of the bonds of the town of Deerpark, issued in aid of the construction of the M mtiesUo road. Mr. Roaencranee prefaced his demand by reciting the provisions of section 4, chapter 907, laws of 1869, as amended by chapter 283, laws of 1871, wherein 'it is provided that all tax; s, except school and road taxes, levied and colitc ted on the assessed valuation of ai y railroad for the construction of which bonds were is sued by iowha, shall be paid over to the Coun- y Treasurer, It is made the duty of the County Treasurer, with the monies thus received, to purchase bonds which, with the accumulated interest, shall be Held as a sinking fund to redeem the ' bonds of the town at their maturity. Since 1871, Mr. Rosen orance stated, DeErpark claims that the Port Jervis & Monticelio railroad, for which tbe town was bonded m the sum of $200,000, has paid taxes to one County Treasurer amounting to $8,« 568 72. No part of this sum has been se apart for the pmposes set forth in the act, but the money has been devoted to other puiposee. The petition was referred to the law cjmmitiee, and will be brought before .he Botra for consideration, at its ad journed session, to be held in January. The greatest sensation was caused among toe members by Mr. Rosencranoe’s an- aouncement and on the adjournment of toe board he was surrounded by excited i^entiemen, who wanted to know what it all meant. There can be no qaestion, but toat under the provisions of the statute cited, all monieEf collected by tax from .he Montiiello road must be set aside as a .inking fund for the redemption of our town bonds. Whether intentipnaliy or through ignorance of the law, it ha; been aeretofore disregardgd by previous County treasurers and the result is, that something like $10,000, which should have inured to caespeciai benefit of the town of Deer- park, has gone into the gentrjl Oouoly (Und. This money belongs to Deerpark audtnequestioflnowis wketlier by per. m illing it to be used for geaeral county purpo&es, SO many years, Deerpark has slept away her rights. it is the intention of Supervisor Rosen- crance, to have the matter thoroughly in vestigated, in behalf of the town and when it comes up for coasideration, at the adjourned meeting in January Mr. Roiencrance will be attended by legal counsel who has been retained in behalf ot the town. We are informed by Mr. Rosencrance, tbat tbe other bonded towns in this Cjunty bave neglected their r.ghta in a similar manner and that the total amount of tax in the various towns, thus diverted from Us lawful purpose is in tbe neighborhood of $40,009. If as a result Of the pioceedinp in the case of Deerpark it is decided that the sinking fund must be made good at the general county expense then the other towns which bave suffered in the same way will also begin proceed ings. Should the county recognize the justice of the claim a special k-vy will be ordered at the adjourned session. If not, .t is probable that legal proceedings will be begun to compel restitution. Whether or not we succeed in our effort to recove.- past taxes it is certain that in the future, taxes collected from the P. J., M. N. Y. R. R. must be set apart for the re demption of town bonds. It will be easily seen that Deerpark will be a considerable gainer if the petition is granted. The total deficiency in the var ious sinking fund, is about $40,000 and Deerparks share cf the special levy under the ratio established at toe late session, would amount to something over $4,000. We should be a clear gainer by the differ ence b:.tween that sum and the amount which would be added to our sinking fund from the special tax which is in neighhor- liocd o f fl0,0G0. The amount as stated In official report is $8,568.72, but this does not include the taxes of the years 1872 and 1888. HOUSES FOR SALE.
