THE FOOT-LIGHTS. The serio-comic drama being acted at ie present time by the company of half aste political actors of the Edwurds and ice fusion combine fails to attract large nd paying audiences, notwithstanding ie gushing and agonizing roloc of the liof dramatic personal, who in docollette ostume and vigs of tangled hnir in Iml- utlon of dlthc velod tresses, na rcpresont- ng two of the smart set found wandering distress having at tbe close of day cached the nhores of the ocean. "Now hen the sun in slowly dying splendor sending crimson smilos ncroBB the on" nnd boa with passionate appeal the reat leviathans cf the democratic deep to omo forth on the dry land utid save lem. The stage netting is somewhat attrao- ve to wanderere by the way-side used to no-horse shows, the otherwise clisagree- ble nnd grotesque personal of the uinbine is rouged up and dressed up to ate but all the pains they have taken alls to show them to the manner born, nd the verdict of sensible, nonorable men expressed in the emphatic and universal "What wretched shows arc lose!" The old times Democrats built of ster- ng auff and tlgbting for what I hoy uln- crely believe are righteous prini'iples of overnment, command our. and steem while we differ from in our entimonts and opinions.

And the ad- ont of these Hhnmeful traitors from the topublieans paity icady with fusion to estroy the heretofore invincible integrity nd cast a blot upon the honor of the Jelf- rsonian Dem icruey is viewed with disgust nd resented with righteous wrath by these entlemen. 1 Edwards and Rice nre too much for them. It is too to ask hem to swallow this nauseating fusion ruUnrc. And they will hold to stuctac- onnt the traitor leaders in their own arty who would sacrifice the honorable ride and spirit of the renowned Demo- ratio phalanv of this county for two such Republican renegades and political trimmers. In despite of the serio comic drama, the Id-time Democrats who never votud the Republican not now atultify nd disgrace themselves for tbe sake of ho love lorn looks and plaintive howls of Rico and Edwards, by voting that nonent- ty a fusion ticket.

The guests all departed at an early hour expressing their ipprociation of spending a delightful evening.

One of the slickest tricks the horse thieves have perpetrated in this vicinity is one played on ex-Sheriff Purdy, of the Rod Lion Inn, at Torresdnle. After steal- inc a horse and harness from George Ebort. of Eddington, the robbers proceeded to the Red Lion and called the landlord out ot bed and told him they had broken down and wanted to borrow his store wagon to proceed with their load. The request was granted by the kind- tienrted old man and he has been looking them ever since. He declares he will have to be awake at least an hour the next time and think it over when his supposed neighbors want to borrow another wagon.

There was not a very large crowd at the lunch social in the chapel on Saturday evening last though those present ex- prested of having spent a very pleasant evening and a fair little sum waa realized for the benefit of the chapel.

On account of the threatening weather only a small gathering had assembled in the chapel on last Sunday evening to listen to the news of the gospel proclaimed by our faithful pastor, Rev. A. S. Pittenger. After a long lingering illness, with much suffering, oar esteemed neighbor, Mrs.

The title of the Ballot Reform Party in tacks is now the exclusive property of iVillia Wall, Thomas Boss, James Barrett, ormer Sheriff Beans and Edwin M. Yerkes, all Democratic leaders in their 'ay. Nobody cares to dispute the propri- torship and what those good Democrats will do with it remains to be seen.

Mem- ers of opposing factions they have at last ot together in this matter, which ie en- ouragiog. The reunion of the survivors of the 04th Pennsylvania Volunteers and Uo- ell's Battery, which took place on Tburs- ly last Was a pleasant event. More embers of the associations attended ban is usually the case and a large audi- nce assembled to hear the address of wel- ome delivered by Hon. Robert M. Yard- ey.

The veterans spent a pleasant day lere and every citizen sought in some way do them honor. Fifteen members of the egiment have passed away in the last 'ear and the ranks are growing thin, About the weakest thing in this section jf the county just now is that fusion movement. It has already reached the wabbly stage and it is safe to say that If ither Rice or Edwards stand were they tood three weeks ago neither would touch he project, Democrats and Republicans take no stock in it. They have sud- cnly realized that here are two men, one if whom as held office continuously since 891, actually complaining that they are he victims of "bossism" and asking tlio tepublican party in Bucks to surrender of the co unty officers ana jeopar- iize the election of their Congressional candidate merely because two Individuals wish to regain office. The proposition is egarded as too absurd for serious discus- ilon.

Old campaigners say they cannot ecollect an instance where a Repullcan actually in office was at the same time a Candida to oc another party ticket. But his is the case with Rice and Edwards, a special session of the Legislature were called today they would be in attendance as Republicans and at the same time Democratic candidates for re-election. As reports come in from the various dis- ricts there is evidence that many Democrats will not support them. This is not campaign talk but a fact. Democrats are asking why they should support men conspicuously arrayed against their own tarty and now holding offices acquired brougb the defeat of tbeir own candidates, Te whole thing promises to fizzle out before the campaign is fairly under way.

In both parties the fusion enthusiasm Is dying out while Repnblcans are more determined than ever to win this tight. This is all owing to the political records of the fusion candidates. Had hey never sought office and had they roen consistently anti-Quay and against the county leadership, they might have secured pretty influential support in some instances, but having held office under like conditions and holding office today, say nothing of their letters of withdrawal in which they condemn the men who enported them in the past, they will receive little consideration even at the lands of independent Republicans. Fusion in Bucks is already "a dead issue. COURT PROCEEDINGS.

Criminal court began on Monday with a larger list of cases than usual, owing to long time intervening between terms. There were about 50 cases on District Attorney Shelly's list. In his charge to the Grand Jury Judge Yerkes referred to the automobile nuisance and informed the Jury that it was within tbeir province to note of violations of the law such 88 speeding machines on the public highways. In the Oroydon riot oases the court raise the bail from the lump sum of $1000 for 13 defendants to $300 in each case, or $3900 in all. The case will be tried at November term.

The following defendants were tried daring the week: One of the interesting cases was that of Thomas Sullivan, one of the gang of tramp highwaymen, who have long been a nuisance about Morrisville. He pleaded guilty of highway robbery and resisting an officer and was sent to the Penitentiary for 23 years and fined $2000. The sentence is generally approved ne it will break up the criminal gang in that locality. Sullivan took his punishment in a cool and impudent manner. William Anderson, colored, was sent to the Penitentiary for three years for stealing a watch and other property of Catharine Rogers, of Warrintgon.

Frank Starks, colored, went to the Penitentiary for three years and six months tor assaulting and stabbing Charles Evan! and Samuel Dougherty, also colored, ol Morrisvile. For stealing a pair of trousers James Adams, of Milford, will spend ten days in the county jail. The prosecutor was Edwin Beidler, of Miltord. Lovi Markley, who stole the horse and carriage of Thomas Kelly, of Buckingham, while the team was in Doylestown, was sent to the Penitentiary for three years. Edward Oarr pleaded guilty to the theft of property belonging to former Recorder- Wright, of Bristol, and was sent to the county jail tor eight months.

David Ruth confessed having passed a worthless check upon Joseph Windier, of Springfield, and he will spend one year in the county jail. John Moyer, a vagrant, was sent to jai for one year. Adam Loebsack, of Bristol, was directed to pay the costs in an assault and battery case in which his wife was prosecutrix. Stephen Olicka, aged 9 years, pleadec guilty to the theft of $50 and was sent to the House of Employment; Sentence was suspended in the case of Mat. Qantz, of Morrisville, who pleaded guilty to assault and battery upon Lonls Connolly.

The latter was held in $300 bonds to answer the charge of selling liquor to persona of known intemperate baits and keeping a disorderly house. Costs were divided between Richard Johnsun, of Dolington, colored, and his son, who charged him with assault. Albert Westpy and Bella Westpy, of Bristol, the former charged with resisting an officer and the latter with nuisance were convicted. The husband was sent to the county jail for one year and six months and the wife for one year. Charles Beckett, an aged colored criminal, who has been before the court on three occasions, waa sent to the Penitentiary for eight years for robbery committed at the house of William Brown, at Bridgewater.

William Hapkins, colored, was sent to the county jail for one year for larcency. He pleaded guilty. David Cornell, a demented reiident of Doylestown, who (ought to shoot Mrs. Llnford Rake some time in July under the impression that she was his faithless wife, pleaded guilty. Sentence waa impended for the present.

Among the matters before the court was Information concerning a bad road in Bensalem and the practice of conducting pigeon shooting in Bristol township on Sunday. The charges will be investigated. In the oases of the Commonwealth vs. Katie Sofran and Commonwealth vs. Annie Sofran and Commonwealth vs.

Morris Weublatt, of Bristol, all charged with assault and battery, the testimony was to involved that the jury tendered a verdict of not guilty In the three oases, placing the costs in two oases upon Wetablatt and in one case upon Annie Sofran, Commonwealth vs. Harvey Foster, charged with destroying ted lanterns of he Philadelphia, Trenton and Bristol Railway the jury convicted the de- 'ondant, who was sentenced to pay costs and undergo imprisonment in the county 'ail for five days. William Smith, of Bristol, charged with larceny of vegetables belonging to William H. Ackerman, was acquitted, prosecutor to pay costs. John J.

Madden, of Bristol, charged with assault and battery upon John 0. Brown; verdict, not guilty; costs equally divided. The Grand Jury ignored the indictment against John T. Maher, of MorrUvillo, Furnishing liquor to a person of known intemperate habits and on Sunday. TULLVTOWM.

The health of Watson Harper is much improved. A brick sidewalk has been laid by the borough from Mr. Lovett'e to Mr. Johnson's. Potato buyers are on band now, the latest price offered being fifty cents per bushel, The potatoes are generally shipped in bulk no bags being used.

All are getting ready -for a pleasant at the Trenton Fair next week. Oliver Harper, the veteran prize potato grower, showed the correspondent the prem- um cards he won in past years for his big potatoes. He has thirteen premiums. The store which Harry Moon will occupy in the near future, which building is direclty opposite his present place of business, is being greatly improved. The eel- nr floors have been cemented, a new porch built, a new shingle roof put on and interior remodeled.

The steamboat wharf has had very little repairing since the freshet left it a wreck last spring. The Springfield has been stopping regularly but the condition of the wharf would not permit the handling of much heavy freight there. The directors the wharf company have not been able to come to any agreement for the improvement of their property which fact ias probably caused biddersjfor the wharf stock to come around. It is thought the company owning the Springfield would like acquire sufficient holdings to control wharf company but thus far all efforts lave failed to dislodge any stock. Agent Joshua H.

Cooper gave an exhibition trial of a corn shocker at the home of David Satterthwaite. The machine is drawn by two horses and is constructed so as to cut the corn in rows, shock it on the machine and deliver the shock to the ground properly set.up and tied. For this delivering of the shock there is a derrick which raises the corn from the machine platform then swings it around to the side and sets it down, while the windlasses of the derrick are being operated the machine has to be at a standstill. The corn is not tied up in bundles. The trial was not altogether satisfactory to Mr.

Cooper for although the machine did the WOK it did not do it very neatly. The corn was green and heavy and during the process it went through on the machine it was much broken up, This borough nowjpromises to become a centre for the shipment of moulding sand. Much of ihe property here, especially in that section northwest of the canal, is un- derlaid with rich stratas of this useful earth. The pioneer in the business was the late John Burton, who delivered sand in canal boats long before the time of the Civil War, the sand then being taken from the place now held by Charles Asbton. After the war, John Paxson, now of Philadelphia, but once a resident of this town, bought the business from John Burton.

The local agent at the present time is Jacob Davis, who has charge of the farm of D. J. Matlack, from which farm Mr. Davis hauls his sand for the Paxson Company delivering it for shipment to the cars of the Pennsylvania Railroad. But now a new firm is 'coming into prominence.

Henry Brennan, with his two active sons, Michael and Thomas, recently opened sand pits on their farm at the north end of the town proper. They find there several grades of valuable sand, in fact the whole proprety--they discovered by boring down--is underlaid with deep stratas of this moulding substance. Mr. Brennan and his sons are loading several cars per week now bat next spring they will go into the business extensively. They will acquire possession of different sand farms in the east from which they hope to make shipments to all the leading foundries in the country.

To open a sand pit you have to shovel off about a foot of the top soil, then you strike sand which sand may be a strata five feet in depth. Sand is clean to work in, for those who shovel it into wagons and then from the wagons into the cars do not get their clothing soiled in the least. Marketing Qelery. From 20,000 to 30,000 plants are set on an acre, in sixty days plants are large enough to blanch for tha early market. Pine boards, one foot wide, one inch thick, sixteen feet long, dressed on both sides, are place against celery on both sides of the plants, and are held in an upright position by a piece of wire bent at each end so as to form a double hook.

The lumber excludes the light, induces the heart of the plant to grow rapidly and blanch at the same time, and In 16 or 18 days after lumber is put up the celery is ready to market. Lumber induces a taller growth, but the flavor is not quite as fine as that blanched with earth. The lumber is eater for early blanching for the reason that the disease commonly called rust is liable to attack the stalks if earth is used before September 10. Earth ing up becomes a necessity after Septem her 30, as frost may appear any night after this Sate and damage the crop the lumber is used, while that with the earth up to it is protected. In harvesting the crop, leading grower! have washing machines to clean and cool the stalks which adds to its keeping qualities.

During transit and delivery from market to the consumer great pains are taken to sort and grade the iff ere sized roots, bind them into bunches and pack them into neat new packages made for the purpose. Large quantities are marketed from September 20 to October 20, to Rave the expense of storing in the winter bouse, as the loss in those is liable to be great from evaporation, diseases and consequent decay. If calery is to be kept for winter use it must be cool and moist. It is usually set out again so the roots take sufficient hold upon the earth to prevent the plant from wilting. For home use the plants may be let in an old shoe case in which there an a few inches of earth In the bottom--the top of the box being left uncovered.

If the box Is as deep as the height of the celery, holes should be made in the lide of the box to admit of ventilation. The box may now be kept to a cool cellar taking similar precautions to ventilation. For market celery may be set in Two boards are leaned over the planti to form a gable root and as cold weather approaches straw is thown on top. In large celery areas, however, the crop Is now stored In sheds or cellars made for the purpose. In these sheds the celery ii planted out and the temperature is 'kept above hard Gruley, In the Perkasls News.

Philadelphia, Oil as Fuel. As a steam producer it is claimed that fuel oil has no rival. Nothing else is burned on the railways of Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Southern Russia. The steamers on the Volga and Caspian Sea burn it, and it is used largely for the same purpose in manufacturing centres. "A fuel for steamships oil has this 1 over coal," writes an American expert, "it can be carried as ballast, thereby occupying a space that Is as a rule wasted.

Coal must be carried in bunkers access! 1 ble to the engines, but oil can be pnmpec line water from any part of the ship. A considerable portion of the heat value ol coal goes off In smoko and cinders, while the entire heat value of oil is obtained. This is the reason that practical results from marine, locomotive, and stationary boilers are more favorable to oil than the comparative oalorlmetrlo tests in the lab- ratory. Tha latter show that one ton of steam coal contains ae much heat as four barrels of fuel oil, but the practical resnl In the fire box prove that three and a half barrels of oil are equal to one ton of the average steam coal."
