A BOLD THEE.
he Succeeds in Stealing Five Bosses
Under Curious Circunstances.

He Succeeds in Stealing Five Boases
Under Curious circumstances.
One of the boldest aud most successful
attempts at horse thefts was made at
East junction. about three miles from
this city, on the B. & O. railroad, about
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The fast western freight with 9 load
of horses and cattle drew in on q siding
at that place, to let q passenger train
pass. When the train stopped a man
jumped from car and approaching the
conductor, represented himself to be the
owner of some of the horses in certain
car. and asked the conductor to open the
car that he might ascertain II the
condition of the horses was all right, as
he feared some of them might be sick
after the long ride. The conductor,
never for . moment suspecting the man
to be thief, did as he desired, and after
the fellow had taken good look at the
animals, he pointed out five which he
said were in bad condition, and as he
knew of veterinarian close by, he told
the conductor that he would take them
to him to be examined, and would re-
turn in short time.
The conductor suspected nothing until
tho tl1ho AOE sbaIblnB uhQ come ana Ino
man had not returned. There was moth
ing for him but to start on his journey
and leave the horse dealer behind
The railway authorities were notified
when the thief had had time to escape
and search was at once begun.
Between 8 and o'clock, the man was
seen driving through the city with the
five horses. He had found wagon and
a set of harness, ard hitching one of
the horses to the wagon gave the appear i.
ance Of gypsy as he led the others
along BE looked so much like a gypsy
that no one paid attention to him. He
crossed Brandywine bridge about 80
o'clock and proceeded along the Phila-
delphia turnpike A later report says
that the horses were found in a field at
the Practical Farmer about five miles
from this city, but that the thief had
escaped
Some difficulty exists among the
authorities about taking action on the
matter As yet there is no person to
claim the horses as his property, nor do
the officials of the B. & o. rail
road know to whom they belong.
No warrant can be issued for his arrest
on that account The report this morn
ing that the horses had been found at the
Practical Farmer is not substantiated by
later reports

as much respect from either Democrats

be at his best and everyone, no matter

With pleasure / thank my many
friends and the public for the liberal
patronage they have given my Carpet
Cleaning business. The past yea. :,
which has been a very successful
one considering the way our process
has been misrepresented, which is
exactly the same as used by the
principal carpet cleaners in this and
many other cities in the United
States.
From seven years experience in
laying carpets in this city, cleaned
by other carpet cleaners, gives me
the knowledge Of what is required
of first class carpet cleaning works.
We will give a few Of the reasons
why it would I've advantageous to
you for us to clean your carpets:
LIST. We clean as good, if not bet
ter, for less money than you have
been paying.
ID. Positively no carpet sent
home ripped (something that has
annoyed you often)
Sd. Will call for and return
promptly (something you are not
used to perhaps).
4th. We clean carpets thoroughly
and remove every particle Of insect
life, no matter how busy we are.
5th. If you employ us you are
not troubled to get carpet layer,
which is often very troublesome in
the midst of busy seasons.
Special attention given to Reno
waiting Hair Mattresses by steam,
and man of twenty years expert
ence in the business.
