Stopping 8 Team Within Four Miles
 of the Glen House.

A letter from Fabyan's, N. H., says : This community is greatly excited over daring highway robbery which was committed on Tuesday, in Binkham Notch, four miles from the Glen House. Frank w. Adams, his wife and three sons, of Boston, who have been stopping at the Twin Mountain House, left for the Glen House, driving pair of horses to blackboard wagon. At about 33 p. m. they started to return to their hotel. The regular afternoon stage for Glen Station, fifteen miles south of the Glen House, started soon afterward with the three passengers-Capt. Robert Bayley, Jr., and wife, of Newburyport, and John D. Carty, of Boston. All were on the outside with the driver, Henry Williamson. When MT. Andrews reached the summit of Spruce Hill, a little south of Glen Ellis Falls, a masked man sprang out of the thicket, and, firing at his team, ordered him to stop. MT. Andrews unwillingly refined up little, and the robber took pos session of his team, afl the time point ing his pistol at MT. Andrews ana dv- manding his money. MT. Andrews parleyed with the robber for some time, and, on his again demanding the money with an oath, Mrs. Andrews, who had put the wallet, containing about $500, under the seat, gave it up with its contents. The robber, after opening it, handed back some railroad tickets, and said: "I don't want your tickets, nor your ten-cent pieces." Then addressing Mrs. Andrews, he said "Give me your pin,'' and she gave it tc him. He also took two diamond rings and gold watch and chain"
 About the time the robber had got his booty from MT. Andrews the Gler House stage, on the way to Gler Station with six horses attached, drove up. The robber then walked to tEt horses heads and halted them, shouting to the driver, "Your turn next" Ht fired one shot over the heads of tho driver and passengers, and then made an attempt to catch hold of the horses but was unsuccessful. He then frei another shot at the horses, but did nc damage except frightening the animals who sprang to the side of the road ant ran the coach on to large rock, break ing the lead bars and throwing tn, robber into the ditch. One of tho passengers, when the highwayman fell discharged revolver at him, but owing to its not being in good order ant snapping several times before discharg ing it, it did not do any execution The robber, after regaining his feet took to the woods, and has not sine been seen. The driver remained yer. cool, and had full control of his horses After the coach had proceeded shor distance the driver detached his lea' horses and, driving them ahead, pro ceeded with the remaining four, landing his passengers without loss at Glel Station.
 The scene of the robbery is dens forest eleven miles from Glen statiol and four from the Glen House. Tn robber was dressed in blouse, with
