strange apectaele, Mr.. Snby called down,
"Why don't You gst ont OF there ~ la a

replied, al can't get ont"
Mr. Soby then took oil his outer cloth
ing, waded into the creek and pulled the
man ont OF tue mud, discovering that he
was in sitting position. In half an
hour at the furtherst the tide would have
risen over his head. lie appeared com
pletely exhsusted, said nothing and WAS
incapable of taking care of himself. He
proved to he William II. Hamilton, resi-
dent OF No. 344l Lancaster avenue. Phila-
delphia, and eX- receiver of the Heeton-
vile, Mantua Il Fairmount RAILROAD.
lie bad on neither coat nor hat, was
covered with mud, unshaven and un-
kempt, and WAS altogether n most pitiable
object. lie was placed on passing
freight train and taken to Atlantic City,
where he received medical attendance.
His watch had stopped at 1l.5S, indicat-
ing that he must have fallen into the
water at some time before that hour on
the previous night.
Mr.. Hamilton disappeared from his
hotel, at Atlantic City, ON Wednesday
morning week. Ills wife said he had never
been a dissipsted man, but that he had
been overworked that for year or two
past his duties as receiver of the road
above named had kept him at work long
hours, and that he had suffered some five
weeks ago from a severe attack OF nervous
prostration. This had made his mind a
little weak. She said that it WAS by the
advice of physicians that they had come
to Atlantic City to seek the rest and quiet
necessary for his restoration to health.
She thought he had done the worst possi-
bic thing for himself in going to the re-
cent artillery practice, as the noise had
still further shattered his nerves and un-
settled his mind.

John NJ. Carlin and his brother James of
Troy, N. Y, were awakened by two
masked burglars in their room. John
asked what was wanted. "We want
your money" was the reply. John took
$25 from his trousers pocket and gave 1t
to the burglars. They found $75 more
In 8 trunk, with gold watch and chain.
The leader then helped himself TO a
couple of cigars from box in the trunk.
"Where's the rest Of the money ?"
asked the thief who was doing the
searching.
"You've got it all, l guess" replied
John.
"Didn't the Delaware & Hudson
company pay off yesterday ~ was the
next inquiry.
"Yes."
"Well, there ought to be more money
than this" WAS the burglars rei"inder.
| Then tue burglar saw the clothes rack
affixed to the wall at the foot of the bed.
| The thief ooolly took one article after
another from the hooks, and after search
| ing the pockets threw the clothing on the
floor. az guess I've got all that ia worth
taking" said he to the other thief, and
then, turning to the Carlins, he said
"If You fellows give any alarm we'll
shoot you dead, and you had better keeI
dog in future. This ia as good as going

There was $500 in another part Of the
