THIRD EDITION,


On Friday night of last week, Will
liam +. Coxson, head waiter at the nj
ed States Hotel, being in Philadelphia,
purchased a through ticket for Will
lnington, and left That city on the $50
p. m, accommodation train. When
the conductor came around for the TICK
cts Coxson handed him his ticket ami
told him to keep it as he was going to
sleep all the way down. The conductor
took the ticket and all went well until
after the train left Chester, when the
conductor passed through the train in
order to collect all tickets from passen-
gers going below that poin'. When he
appu ached CoxsOn he was Oused and
his ticket demanded COxsOn inform.
g.. hin that he had already taken his

pile OF tickefs, hich he refused to do,
aud cummel. ced to abuse Mr.. Coxson in
an urgent ,emanly manner, and SUM-
moning the assistance of the baggage
master the train was stopped and the
man elected from the train despite his
protestations that he had purchased q
through ticket. While engaged in fore
ing him from the train, Mr.. Coxson''
watch chain was broken and charn
lost therefrom. After the man had
been put off a brakeman interfered and
told the conductor that he knew tn
man and was positive that he had
ticket, and after some minutes the mai
was allowed to get ON the train.
The conductor then looked through
his tickets and found the missing paste
board, after which he apologized to tn
man and told him that he would replac
the charm aud make it all right, but a
yet no attention has been paid to tn
matter and it is the intention of MI
Coxson 20 enter suit against the compa
nv, the case already being in the hand
of an attorney. The REPUBLICAN ha
been in possession of the particulars
the case since Saturday, but has nc
given it publicity, at the request of tn
injured party, v no waited patiently fe
the conductor to adjust the matter
The affair at the time created quite
commotion in the car and several Of til
passengers have spoken of the ungentl'
manly action of the conductor.

Another Robbery.

Sometime Tuesday night or early
yesterday morning, the house Of Henry
n. Tazewell, at the corner OF FrAnklin
and Maple streets, was entered by bur
glars. Yesterday morning when MT.
Tazewell got up, he found that his
pantaloons and vest which he had hung
along side Of bis bed upon retiring on
Tuesday night, hai, been taken away ana
on going down stairs found he them
lying on the floor of the sitting room.
His watch keys and small amount OF
money that was in the.pockets had been
taken.
The thieves effected an entrance
through the cellar window, and the
marks of their feet were plainly visible
on the cellar floor which had recently
been covered with cement. There Ii
no doubt but this Is the same party
that robbed Mr.. Woodward on Poplar
street above Tenth, last Tuesday night,
as the method of operating Is the
same as was pursued at bis house.

The Results of
Our Policy.

Sound principles tell. We
stick 10 the rule, 1.-THE best
clothing bargain at Oak Hall'
under all circumstances, Re-
suit, the cleanest sort Of a
stock. The bargain prices
remain on the few remaining
lots and there is an excess at
only one point-Pantaloons.
We lose too much at the
prices to advertise them
much, but real halfpricesdon't
need much talk.
You can buy Mems Panta-
looms at $3.50 and $3.oo,and
Boys at $500, $3.50 and
$2.oo. Some foreign goods,
some domestic-all good.
The last buyer will get a
good bargain, but the first a
better one. Better come first.

Before you look for the
lowest priced food, you had
better stop and count the
cost. The lowest is not al
ways the cheapest by any
means. A hungry man will
relish bread made from indii-

be because he is hungry. The
very article he eats may not
have the nutritious quality to
give him strength and health.
The nearer flour can be got
Invested Of every ingredient
that is deleterious to health
the nearer a person will come

PORT PENN, Del, Aug. IA, 1885
Here tradition, ever ready to lay claims
to that feeling of pride ever dominant
where ancestry dates TWO centuries
back, assert without fear OF contrauic'
ton that the old weaiher-beaten bricks
that form the walls where | write this
were brought from England and sui
are as perfect as those which were made
by the Israelires when they struck
against their employers because they
could not make them without straw.
William Penn sought and found SAFE
haven, when, after weary days tempest
tost he found shelter within the muudy
walls of the Delaware shore between z
piece of land he called Reedy Island
and another piece he named Port Penn
and had it not been for the feud between
Fort Elsinboro and Fort Christiana,
Penn would have remained here and
built upon this stable land the famous
city, as it now is, which the Schuylkill
and Delaware river holds SO closely to-
gether.
In former years, say several, for
cannot get the exact date, huge ice piers
were built by the Government for TIT
protection Of the then growing com
merce ofthe country, and vessels from
all parts of the world would moor al
these piers. Thus this present old man
sion, which has outlved the piers them
selves, was called the Pier House by
all the captains Of ships who made II
their safe harbor.
Stories of olten times are written
upon the memory Of each old inhabi
tant, and the writer, with visions OF thu
old habitues, who then were wont tt
visit the place, casting glance around
feels lonesome, for they are gone to tht
land of the dead. The pleasure still
exists, for as fast as one of the old ones
drop of others take their places, anl
the Pier House still retains its old pres
tage, under the careful care of Mr.
Lord, that should make 1t one of thu
