young man from Delaware reports that be
/ was knocked down and robbed in this city
( Monday night. He came to the city on the
/ evening train from Delaware with his wife
( who was en- route for ChiIIicOthe, and after
/ having secured lodgings at the Zettler
/ House, started to the stage Office to secure
| passage for his wife to Chillicothe. Late
/ that night he presented himself at the ho-
tel, with face terribly bruised, clothes
bloody, and pockets empty. He says he was
/ knocked down and robbed by two persons
/ who had engaged to direct him to the no
/ tel. just where he can't tell, and why he
/ made no alarm he does not plain. AS it
I was election night, and as the streets were
/ by no means deserted, the story is rather a
| dOu btful one. His wife left for ChillicOthe,
/ according to programme, and he returned
/ to Delaware last evening. We give him
/ the benefit of his story, but hope the news
papers up that way Will not make this pos
/ sible robbery the occasion for a long ser
mon on the iniquity of Columbus.
