ALLIANCE-Last Thursday morning II was dis.
covered that both the P. IT. W. Il @. and G. d p
freight houses In this city had been broken into
and robbed, Joshua Barnaby, assistant ticket
agent in the p TT, W, Il c. office, repaired TO the
station to meet No, I. passenger train, which
reaches this station about five o'clock He con.
cluded to visit the freight Office and start the FIRE
before the coming of the train. While thus en-
gagged he discovered that the shutter had been
plied off the window sash broken in, and the
money drawer riaed A glance at the safe showed
small piece Of paper sticking in the keyhole,
but otherwise, 1t had not been disturbed, Just
then the whistle of the train called him to the
ticket office, and supposing the thieves had long
since gone, he locked the door and went to the
passenger depot to attend his duties. As soon as
the train left he, In company with Mr. Crank
shaw, the night watchman, returned to the freight
office TO learn the extent Of the robbery On
opening the door, they were surprised to find the
room full of smoke and burnt powder, and at a
glance discovered that during his absence the
thieves had returned aud fired the fuse with the
intention of blowing up the safe. The attempt
was fail ire, and the approach of daylight and
return Of Mr. Barnaby no doubt saved the com.
pany from suffering heavy robbery. The only
loss as yet discovered consists of the nickles and
change in the money drawer, amounting proba.
bly, to about ten dollars. short time after the
discovery of the robbery, Billy Joseph employed
at the c. & P. freight house arrived and after no.
ting the condition of things at the Pittsburgh Of.
ice thought he had better see il the c. C p house
was all right, He tried his k y in the door, but
found II wouldn't open. He finally effected an
entrance and found the safe bOwed open, the
pieces scattered over the room and the contents
carried away Owing to the care of Mr.. Cleland,
the agent, the safe contained but a small amount
ofmoney, and the booty which the thieves carried
away will probably not exceed thirty dollars. As
yet no trace has been found Of the thieves.
On Thursday evening De Forest Fluke, a lad Of
fourteen or fifteen years of age, jumped on the
caboose O., a freight train, with the intention OF
riding beyond the Mt. Union street bridge and
then jump off The night was quite dark, and
when he reached the supposed point, he leaped
from the car, which CHANGED to be directly on the
bridge. The boy fell through the tressel work to
the street below, distance of from fifteen to
twenty feet, cutting his lip and face in a terrible
manner, and breaking his leg above the knee
He was found there shortly after the accident
and carried home. The patient, at this writing
though suffering much, is doing as well as could
be eXpected.-Alliance Review.

Farmers should be on their guard. A new
dodge of swindling has been put in operation.
Several strange men drive through an agricultu-
raj district stop at all the farm houses and make
a contract to take all the butter the farmer can
furnish at fifty cents per pound Further, it will
be gathered up by last special teams and the cash
paid for 1t at the door The pretense is that dur
ing the fall and winter, the large cities will be
oYercrowded and that butter will be scarce. In
this way all the farmers In district are contract
ed with and arrangements are made to come for
the butter on certain days aud at certain points,
the contract to go into effect in two weeks, A
few days after the departure of the men, drove
of cows come along, They are fine milch COWS.
The farmers having good thing in view think
they might use a few more cows They try to
buy them and the drover doesn't seem anxious to
sell. Finally, however he Is induced to sell two
or three to each farmer, at prices considerably
higher than the real market value. He then de-
parts meets his partner, who put up the butter
job and they divide their profits. That is the last
the farmer hears Off
