A CoUNPRYMAN VICTIMIzED BY SHARPERs.-
A farmer hailing from Bucks county yesterday
went into drinking saloon at New Market
and Willow streets. While there he fell in
with three other men, who seemed to manifest
a great friendship for him. They slapped him
on the back in a friendly way, and while talk
ing to him managed to relieve him of $50 in
cash. Discovering his loss, he notified the
proprietor of the place, who sent for the police.
Before the officers came two of the thieves
made their escape, and the third one was
rested. He gave the name of John Bryan, and
on his person were found revolver, scre W
driver, and portion of the stolen money,
which was fully identified by the countryman.
Bryan will have hearing at the Central Sta
tion this afternoon.
NEARLY FROZEN TO DEATH.-The Schuylkill
Harbor Police on Monday night found a man

rubbing they succeeded in restoring him. He
was subsequently removed to his home, No. 1929

On the same night an unknown man was
found lying in the snow on Chesnut street
bridge. He was carried into the Office of a

name: He was taken to his home, at Fourth
