going through the cut. They summoned
Officer DevliD, who sent her to the station
charged with drunkenness. After the doc
tor had made an examination and prescribed
for her, the woman was sent to her home.
INVESTIGATING THE CASE.
Inspector McAleese and Detective Sol
Coulson visited the scene also, and found
nothing more than the woman told. The
neighbors who live near Mrs. Cronnin, on
Vickroy street, say she occasionally takes
hts, and suppose she fell in a swooD. They
cannot account for the money being missing.
II the woman's story be true. she must have
lad In the cut sometime, as she was found
about o15, and the bank closes at o'clock.
The description given by Mrs. Cron-
MN OF her assailants and the case was
placed IN the hands of Lieutenant Lewis
last night, but up until a late hour ne had
not made any arrests. Although the place
is within stones throw of "Hardscrab-
Bile, the people say it is hard to believe
that such thing could occur in daylight
without some persons in the neighborhood
hearing the woman's screams. DR.. Mover
says she could have been frightened into
swoon and been robbed without a struggle
taking place for the money. On August 18
Mrs. Cronnin deposited $40 in the bank. A
theory is advanced that the robbers. know
ing her husband had been paid on Thurs
day, knew she would go to the bank with the
deposit on Friday.

DRUGGEDlNDROBBED
Mrs. John Cronnin Says She Was
Chloroformed by Three Men.
THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS STOLEN.
Police officials Inclined to Disbelieve the
Woman's Story.
NO MARKS TO SHOW ROUGH HANDLING

A case shrouded in considerable mystery
and one which the police department is try
ing to unravel turned up at Central station
yesterday afternoon. A woman was brought
in in a semi-unconscious condition and
claimed she had been chloroformed and
robbed of some money she was taking to the
bank. Some of the officials are inclined to
disbelieve the story, as the circumstances are
against it. 1t is possible there will be some
DEVELOPMENTS to-day.
About 315 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the patrol wagon brought to the station
Mrs. John Cronnin, wife OF foreman en-
ployed by Booth & Finn. She said she
was walking through the cut at the head of
Shingiss street, on her way to the Dollar
Savings Bank with $35, when she was set
upon by three men, who chloroformed,
knocked her down, and then robbed her of
her money. She said she had the money
rolled up in handkerchief, which she put
in her breast. She also claimed to have had
a wedding ring torn from her finger, and
was in weak condition from exhaustion
and fright.
A MEDICAL EXAMINATION.
When she was brought to the station
Police Surgeon Meyer was called and the
physician made an examination. There
were no marks on the woman showing that
she had been roughly handled, nor was
there any evidence that she had been chloro-
formed. Her dress also did not bear any
marks as if the woman had been thrown
down. and was only slightly torn at the

THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH WILL HOLD 1T
HERE,

Bishops From Various States md Dis.
tlnguished Laymen Will be Present
Mass Meetings In Carnegie Hall-some
of the Local Arrangements.
The Missionary Council of the Episcopal
Church will convene in this city October p
and remain in session three DAYS. In at
tendance will be 30 of the 20 Bishops from
the various dioceses in the United States
and an equal number OF prominent clergy

sionary meetings during the session.

Trinity Episcopal Church, Monday evening,
October q, and Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings meetings will be conducted in

ness meetings will be held during the day at
Trinity Church.
The Missionary Council'' is an interme-
diate body in the church, being between
the Board of Missions, which meets trien-
nially, and the Board of Managers, which
meets monthly, ana is OF recent creation,
the first annual meeting being held in ST.

HARD TO REACH.
CHARTERS AND M'kEE'S ROCKS RESI-
DENTS HAVE A GRIEVANCE.

They Want More Rapid Transit Between
the City and Their Homes-Tired oI
Waiting on Trains and Bonts That Do
Not Start on Schedule Time.
Considering that they enjoy the benefit ol
three lines of communication, steam rail-
way, horse-car line and a boat line. the
people of CHARTERS might be supposed to be
practically in the city, as they are but a
mile from the limits, and but little over
three miles from the postofise, and yet
practically, they are during two hours
in the afternoon and nearly four
hours in the evening As minutes
distance from it. At night the boats
cease running; the horse cars are insuffer-
ably slow, and charge two fares, and of late
the 9 o'clock train on the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie Railway usually starts down
nearer 10 than 9 o'clock, and no other train
stops at CHARTERS until the jerk-water at
Ills.
In view of the demand for more rapid
transit, some people think it strange that an
electric railway is not organized at once.
1t would seem that it would not only DO
good business, but that the majority of the
people in and about McKee's Rocks
would take stock promptly to In
sure its speedy start. At present,
notwithstanding the horse car line and the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad, two
steamboats, manage to make dividends for
their owners, though the boats are appar-
emily run more to suit the convenience of
the operators than the public. On Sunday
mornings the first boat is said to leave the
wharf, at the foot of Wood street, at $50.
but it will not do to gamble on
it. Two or three Sundays since
considerable number of passengers sat
on the upper deck for well on to
an hour after advertised starting time, and
then becoming impatient, started in a body
TO search for some other mode of convey
ance. Just as the head of the column
reached the gang plank the announcement
was made that the boat was ready to start
and the passengers returned. Last Sunday
some people waited for time, and then,
seeing that there was no fire under the
boiler, asked when the boat would start and
were told it would go at 9:25 o'clock. They
hurried ashore and Skinned it across to the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie station and got
aboard with wilted collars and ruffled tenn
pers.
The above is the burden of complaint that
comes from many people about Charities
who say that, though at the very door of the
city. they are practically as far away DUR
ing considerable portion of the day as are
the people of Coraopolis and several other
river points.

SCARED BY CHIEF BROWN.
The Allegheny County Light Company Forced
to Care for n Wire on Fifth Avenue.

The Allegheny County Light Company Forced
to Care for Wire on Fifth Avenue.
An electric light wire of the Allegheny
County Light Company, on Fifth avenue,
in front of the postofice, was borne down by
the weight of the water during the rain last
evening and came in contact with guy wire
to the big supporting pole on the corner. A
bright light was caused at the point of con-
tact and attracted the attention of Henry
Angloch, OF the Bureau of Electricity, who
realized that if the wires were in contact
long enough they would burn through and
the ends falling to the street would be ex-
ceediugly dangerous. He notified the COM
pany at once, but as they did not act on the
matter, Chief Brown was notified.
Mr.. Brown called up the company's office
by telephone and notified them that if the
wire was not corrected Immediately he would
have the circuit cut at their expense. In
few moments the wires were fixed and the
danger was over.

A Penn Avenue Citizen Travelling Around ON
His Muscle.
About 9 o'clock last night considerable
commotion was raised on Eleventh street
near Penn avenue by lively fight. Pat
rick Christy had been in Mulvihill's saloon
on Eleventh street and endeavored to start
a hight, declaring that he would take the
principal part against any number of men
who wished to have set-to. He was
promptly elected from the saloon by the
proprietor, but made an effort to again force
his way in.
Officer Bumbaugh was called and at
tempted to place the man under arrest.
Christy is large, powerful man, and
offered such resistance that the officer found
it impossible to arrest him without aid. Off
GERS White and Conway we're called, and
Christy was arrested. He fought desper-
ately for over Is minutes, succeeding in
throwing Bumbaugh several times and tear
ing his clothes. Christy was at last over
come and sent to the Twelfth ward police
station.

LOCKED OUT AT NIGHT.
REMARKABLE PREDIcAMENT OF A QUIET
COUPLE.

An Allegheny Citizen Finds Himself on the
street Attired Only In n Sleeping Robe
His Faithful Spouse With Him-Tale of
nm Awning.
A prominent citizen living on Lincoln
avenue, Allegheny, was awakened the other
night by a peculiar noise in front of his
house. The thought of burglars flashed
through his mind, and he was out of bed at
once ready to defend his earthly possessions
at all hazards. Arrayed in his night cloak,
he cautiously stole down stairs, and the
racket continuing, he soon discovered the
cause. During the night the wind had
blown down an awning, and its loud flap
pings were keeping time with the gentle
zephyrs.
The time was toward morning, and the
thinly clad citizen peered up and down the
street and seeing no one in sight he went
out on the sidewalk, and undertook to pull
up the awning. His wife, who was SINH
larly attired, followed him down stairs to
see what was the matter, and she, too, went
out on the street to lend her husband some
assistance.
Now the funny part of the story
the door shut and being supplied
and they couldn't get in. The only persons
in the house were daughter who was deaf
and servant who slept in the rear. Man
and wife now commenced fearful fusilade
on the door, but the daughter and servant
slept on peacefully. A few persons passed
by smiled, and wondered what was the
matter. The neighbors were aroused
with the loud knocks, and seeing the
ghost-like apparitions on the pavement,
were badly scared. The situation was
becoming more interesting every moment
for the two benighted people on the street,
and the husband was at his wits end to know
what to do. His hands were sore from
pounding the door, but finally the servant
got it into her head that somebody was try
ing to get into the house. She aroused the
daughter and the latter went to her parents
room. Both were missing, and this ratified
the girls. Their teeth chartered, and after
holding long consultation. the servant
agreed to 60 down and open the door. Her
surprise was great when she saw her master
and mistress suddenly dart into the house
clad in their night clothes. Explanations
followed, but that citizen now VOWS that he
will have no more awnings in front of his
house. He prefers the torrid rays to the
damp night air and public exhibition.

the approach to the Tenth street bridge at 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon. A west-bound

track when freight engine 610 ran into the
rear end of it. The engine was wrecked,
and six or sight cars loaded with hay de-
collision. and no one was injured.
The wreck delayed travel about two and
a half hours. The collision was caused, it
was stated, by the fagman of the first train
not doing his duty.
