Railroad office Robbed.

The ticket office of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, at Easton, was entered by burglars
about one o'clock Monday. They effected
an entrance by prying open the door with
jimmies. The ticket agent had left the office
to go to dinner, and at the same time to de-
posit in the bank the receipts of the morn
ing. The robbers burst open the money
drawer and carried of about $50 in change.
The floor Of the office was strewn with pa
pers and tickets, but as far as can be ascer-
tanned no tickets were taken. 1t is thought
that more than one person was engaged in
the robbery, as a single person would scarce
ly have attempted it in broad daylight,
The detectives are said to have a clew to the
robbers and they will probably be arrested.
