READING. Jan. Coal and freight

Reading railroad, is not as brisk as it was
before the present labor troubles. 1t is

A Daring Robbery.

NEW BRIGHTON, Pa, Jan. 2.-Onc of
the most daring robberics in Beaver coun.
ty occurred this morning at the residence
of the Rev. Father Bigham, pastor of st,
Joseph's Catholic church of this place.
Mrs. Chrlsty, the housekeeper, has been
sick, and was occupying a room with Miss
Mary Mentally, who acted in the capacity
of nurse, and u niece about IA years of
age.
At the hour named Mrs. Christy awoke
and discovered Two masked men in the
room. The robbers then drew their re-
volvers and demanded her money. She
replied hat she had nonc. At this juno
ture Miss Gertic Clarke, the neice, awoke
and seeing the men began to scream, and
Mrs. Christy, taking advantage of the
confusion. pressed an electric button
which rang a bell in Father Bingham's
room,
The priest suddenly aroused, confused
anu hall asleep, rushed into the hallway,
thinking the women been taken
violently and that his services were re
gulsd One OF the robbers rushed to the
hall and forced the reverend gentleman
into his room, where he at once hid his
money, Vuluables aud watch. The burglar
then told him to open the door or he
would batter it down. Father Bigham
replied: Il will shoot you through the
door"
But the william had prepared for this
by taking the young lady out of bed and
holding her before him where she had
called to the well-nigh frantic priest not
to shoot, as she would surely receive the
shot. The priest then hid the revolver
and opened the door.
When the burglar made a search Of the
room but failed to find anything Of much
value, he became SO ~exasperated that he
dealt Father Bingham a blow with a re.
volver which felled him to the floor. He
then forced the four occupants of the
honsc to walk down stairs and at the
point of a revolver compelled the priest to
open the safe and give him the contents,
amounting to $ll5, which had been taken
in collections
The pair then departed. Several hours.
later detectives arrested three men, two of
whom were positively identified as the
men who committed the robbery.
