A Stage-COach Robbed Near Boston,
Mass.

BOSTON, Mass, Sept. 5.
The annual illumination at Nantasket
Beach Monday night drew together about
twenty thousand people. The display and
festivities continued until late hour. The
facilities for transporting so large crowd
was altogether inadequate, and it was mid
night before many of the spectators could
leave the beach. A party of ten ladies and
gentlemen from East Weymouth char
tered the large stage Minnie Of that
place and left the Hotel Nantaslxet at about
one o'clock. They had proceeded as far as
the foot of the Old Colony House hill, where
there Isl thickly-wooded and very lonesome
spot, and where the road runs for mile
and half through dense forest. There
they came upon a gang of twenty-five or
thirty desperate characters, some of whom
were in an express wagon and others on
foot. AS the stage drove up these men made
rush for it, Two of them seized the horses
by the heads, while the others surrounded
the stage, cursing and threatening to shoot
the driver when he attempted to whip up
his horses
EDWARD HdWley, VINO was STANDING on the
steps in the rear, was seized by two of the
ruffians, who threw him down upon the
ground and beat him severely, tearing off
most of his clothing and kicking him bru-
tally about the head and body. His nose
was broken and he was otherwise terribly
injured. During the scutfle the men secured
his watch and chain and pocket book, con-
tanning a large sum.
In the meantime the rest of the gang had
set upon other gentlemen in the STAGE who,
boing altogether unarmed, could make no
resistance. James Burke, Thomas McFawn
and David Queen were brutally beaten, and
suffered serious injuries. One of them was
robbed of valuable pin and three lost their
watches and other jewelry, and what money
they had. The ladies were very roughly
handled, and robbed of their jewelry,
watches and purses. The robbers only
laughed at their pleas and swore louder.
The men at the heads of the horses pres
emily relaxed their vigilence and their grip
on the brides and the driver of the stage,
taking instant advantage of this, whipped
up his horses and ratified off down the road
at full gallop. The robbers jumped into
their express wagon and drove swiftly after
the flying stage for over a mile, but on
nearing the town of bingham they stopped
the pursuit. Many of the ladies were seri-
ously Frustrated by fright.
