4 Western Union Telegraph Messenger
Knocked Down in the street and
Robbed Of Dispatches.

= Western Union Telegraph Messenger
Knocked Down in the street and
Robbed Of Dispatches.
Among the cases before the grand jury
Of tile Superior Court is that Of white
man charged with assaulting and knock
ing down "a messenger Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company while on duty,
and r0b5ing him Of three messages.
A MORNING NEWS reporter made in
quirles Of Manager Dillon concerning the
matter, but failed TO secure any further
information than that the affair bad oc-
CURED. and the company had identified
the author OF the assault, and would
bring the matter before the grand jury.
He stated that the case was in the hands
Of a detective.
Itappears from facts obtained that one
Of the cOmpauy's messengers was on West
Broad street. having three messages IN
his possession, which he was about 70
deliver. While going out towards the
Central Railroad depot be was met by a
stronger. who seized him roughly by the
collar. ana. throwing him TO the ground,
took from him the messages. The messen-
ger. being one ~ the small lads employed
in the service, was unable to offer any re-
sistduce. and the messages were easily
taken. The stranger Immediately disap-
pedred and was lost sight Of. The affair
was witnessed by "a lady from the window
Of a house in the locality. and who went to
the bows rescue. The-matter was report
ed 70 Manager Dillon, who took steps 10
recover the messages, and after search
they were found in the street near where
thev were taken from the messenger
two OF them having been opened and one
left intact. The purpose Of the assault
was, IL is thought, not so much to secure
possession OF the messages as to vent the
assailauts' righteousness.
The company is determined 10 protect
It's messengers and the public from the
loss OF dispatches, and the author Of the
assault win doubtless be dealt with
severely iu consideration of the nature Of
the Oifeuze.

Two friends 1--WE will call them John
and Dick met casually and both had new
suits on. John bought his at the
''Fdnous" and was very much pleased.
Dick bought his elsewhere, andsnot being
a Judge of clothing thought his suit just
as good. The Famous says, put the two
suits to the test, wait three months, and
we wager that the Famous" suit, for less
money, wear better and look better than
any clothes bought elsewhere. We have
often seen it and know it for fact. Our
goods are all manufactured by Us for our
trade: nothing Is too good for our trade,
and there is as much difference between
our clothing and the ready-msde goods
made for appearance to sell to retailers
as between day and night. We can free
ly guarantee our goods, and we agree to
refund the money for any unsatisfactory
purchase made. Famous New York
