ANOTHER BOLD ROBBERY.

Another daring robbery took place last
night, in the residence Of Mr.. K. D..
Elliott on East Seventh street near Will
son street. Mr.. Elliott keeps the fruit
stand at Fifth and Market streets, and
about month ago was robbed OF S10S by
burglars.
The thieves gained an entrance through
the door of the cellar which opens out
into the yard. 1t was left open in the
evening the thieves going down could
easily reach the inside of the house.
They entered Mr.. Elliott's bed room,
where he was sleeping, and taking the key
of his trunk opened it and stole there
from silver change to the amount of about
forty dollars. They also took Mr.. Eiliott's
gold watch leaving the chain behind.
The watch is valued at $50.
No one about the house heard any
noise during the night, but a small dog
was heard to bark loudly about midnight.

PoIiceman Payne's Pistol.

Officer John Payne was arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Hagany at a o'clock yes
terday afternoon and CIV n hearing
upon the charge of threatening to shoot
Thomas Carney.
1t seems that the alleged threatening
took place Tuesday morning about
o'clock, while officer Payne stood at
Front and Madison streets. 1t was the
morning after the assault on Mr.. Payne
by Connell, Ford and Watson, and when
Carney came. up with a curious smile on
his face, II Is presumed that he thought
Carney was laughing at the condition OF
his face. Carney lie a friend Of Mr..
Ford and the officer presumed he was
tantalizing him. Payne told Carney to
go home. Carney said, ~ pay tax and
have right to walk the street."
"No," said Payne, "you don't pay tax;
your wife does for you."
"You're a id liar," responded Car
rey, hotly. 1t Is said that at this Payne
drew his revolver and threatened to
"shoot Carney full of holes"
At the hearing before the Magistrate
William Russell testified to passing by
where Payne and Carney were standing
and seeing the former draw a pistol or
the latter and threaten to shoot him
No other witnesses were examined ant
the officer was held in the sum of $2O(
bail to answer ut court. He promptly
furnished bail.

A PIER WORTH LOOKING.

The growing popu larity of the NAM
moth iron pier at Coney Island was
dem Onstrated yesterday and last even
ing by the unprecedented rush Of visi-
tors over land and water. Stretching
out 1000 feet into the sea, this costly
structure proved to be at once the
coolest and most attractive resort in the
"Cuy by the Sea-" Deep-water athing
was indulged in by many hundreds Of
men and women, who doubtless found 1t
more agreeable than the rOugher grip of
the briHy surf nearer the shore. A tiny
stretch of beach in a sheltered position
and concealed from the public gaze. can
now be reached by steps leading down
from the pier. After bathing, patrons Of
the resort have free access to the prone
made, dancing pavilion lit at night with
twenty-five electric and thousands OF
colored jets, q concert by Grafulla's
Seventh Regiment Band, and refresh
ing interview with the salt. laden breezes.
All this can be hsd for the modest sum
Of 20 cents. Saloons and restaurants are
40 ,essible to all, and the best things Of
earth and sea are to be had at reason
able rates.

to an honest hard working woman, and
Is himself quite shiftless. He got out of
New Castle Jail one week ago yesterday,
being confined there for non-payment
of foe and costs which had been i'm
posed upon him for wife beating.
According to his wife's testimony last
night, he got drunk as soon as he was
out of "durance vile" and has abused
her ever since. He oftenlcame home and
raised row with butcher knife.
In defending himself, Dan'l said the
whole trouble was that his wife and
wife's sister were both in the house and
he didn't like two bosses In the house.
He was fined S. and required to pay
costs.

Two cases of drunkenness were dis
posed Of on which the usual penalty was
imposed.
Edward Butcher was then put in the
dock for assault and bait ry on the per
son of Joseph B. Langly and for threa-
tening to butcher him. From the evi-
dence and the story Butcher told it Sas
learned that on Sunday night he hit Lam
gly as he sat OH his door steps the blow
was unprovoked. The cause seems to
have been some trouble between the
two men in relation to the prisoner 4
