The officials were overpowered and the keys secured. Soon the gang reached Sutton's iron cage and he was free, but so overcome with emotion that he had to be assisted to a buggy. He was rapidly driven away. Booth and Barrett. pear together.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS. A Lively Contess Over the Committee's Chairmanship Probable. THE VARIOUS ELIGIBLES. Representative Ketcham and Congressman Hitt-William Walter Phelps Would Be Among Them Had He Been Reelected--He May Get a Mission. WASHINGTON, 1-One of the most notable contests the next congress will be that over the chairmanship of the committed foreign relations.

The custom is, when a minority becomes a majority, for the speaker to appoint the head of the minority to the chairmanship of the committee, provided he re-elected. Representative John H. Ketcham, of New York, stands at the head of the Republicans on this committee, and he has been reelected. The next on the list is William Walter Phelps, of New Jersey, but he will not be a member of the Fifty-first congress, having declined to become a candidate for re-election. It is possible that he will receive a foreign mission under President Harrison.

He wat minister to Austria for one year under the appointment of Garteld. But he remained in office only about twelve months, and de termined to enter the race again for con gress. The third on the committee, the second who is re-elected, is Representative Hitt, ol Illinois. He has had a long diplomatic experience, and his friends are very confident that he will be appointed chairman of the committee. He was for many years secretary of the legation at Paris, and for a time charge d'affaires, and was for a considerable period assistant secretary of state here, and has been a member of the committee On foreign affairs.

He is well versed in diplomatic matters and well equipped in every respect for its chair manship. But it is understood that Mr. Ketcham is very anxious to be appointed chairman, and that he is disposed to insist that the principle of seniority shall be recog nized in his case.

The light was plainly seen from Chambersburg and Waynesboro, and the rumor quickly spread that there had been a big fire in Mercersburg and that Fendrick's Hotel had been burned. The fire, however, was about two miles southeast of Lebmaster's and the building destroyed was the large bank barn upon the farm of Rev. George Hege, a well known Dunkard preacher.

Mr. Hege lives upon the farm but it is worked by his tenant, Henry Cleverstone. The barn was nearly new, very large and well built and was stored full of the crops from the large farm. The fire was discovered shortly before three o'clock and in a short time it was a mass of flames. There was no time to res lease the stock and everything was destroyed.

Six fine several cows, a nearly, large lot of grain, bey, fodder, were all consumed. Mr. Cleverstone, the tenant, bad no insurance upon his stock or crops, and his loss will be about $2000 or $2500. Mr. Hege's loss 18 $2800 and he carries $1500 of insurance in the Centennial Mutual Fire Insurance Co.

There was no fire anywhere near the barn and the fire was probably the work of an incendiary. A Card from Messrs. Fallon and Stouffer. MERCERSBURG, Nov.

All the Same, We are a Good Show. The West Chester Record of Monday tries to poke fun at Chambersburg in the followinz paragrapb; "Chamber burg, according to she REPOSITORY is veritably dime museum.

The Camel's Bumps Structurally, of course, the humps are nothing--mere lamps of tat. collected under a convenient told of the skin, and utterly unprovided for in the framework of the skeleton. When the animal is at its best and well fed, they are full and plump, standing up on his back firm and upright; but on a long journey they are gradnally absorbed to keep up the fires that work the heart sud legs, and in the caravan camels which arrive at the coas, the skin hangs over, en empty bag, upon the creature's flanke, bearing witnees to the ecarcity of external food during the course of his lo.

forced march from the interior. A starved sinall camel in this state of bealth far more closely resembles a Peruvian Ilama than any one who has ouly seen the Gue, well-kept beasts in European menageries or zoological gardens could readily imagine. But water is even scantier in the desert than food; and agaiost want of water, therefore, the camel has bad to provide himself, functionally at least, if not quite as much 88 against waut cf herbage. His stomach has accordingly ac, quired the power of acting as au internal re ervoir, and he can take in 88 much water at the Bahrs or Wadys, where be rests for a while on his toilsome march, as will supply his needs for four or five in days this together. There however, are some differences respect, between the two chief varieties of the camel.

The African kind is most abstemious, and best adapted to sandy deserts: the Bactrian, product of more varied and better watered country, is larger and stronger, but less patient of bonger and thirst, while at the same time it can manage to subsist and to make its way into somewhat rockier and more rugged country. -From "Evolving the by Grant Allen, in the Popular Science Monthly for December.
