RAPE OF THE LOCKS.
Young Lady Drugged and Shorn of Her
Flowing Hair.


darcy, Pa, Jan 20.-A mysterious
outrage is related by Lizzie Savidge, a
young married woman living with her
mother on Serrill street, this place. She
states that last night while lying asleep
upon lounge she was awakened by
some one asking: Are you there"
With the exception of her young broth
ers and sisters, who were in bed, She
was alone in the house. Hastily con-
cluding that the inquiry came from her
elder brother George, whom she was ex-
pecting home, she answered.: "Yes, l
am here" and arose to meet him.
There was no light in the room, and she
had not taken a dozen steps when man
seized her by the shoulders, and, before
she could make an outcry, blew pow
der in her face which filled her eyes,
nose and mouth. She then became un-
conscious, as she remembers nothing
that took place afterward. She was found
stretched out on the floor by her mother,
who had been marketing in the city. Her
cries brought the neighbors to the house.
When the young woman recovered her
senses it was found that her long, black
hair had been cut off close to the head.
The drawers and closet doors were stand
ing wide open. There were no marks of
violence on the girl, and IT is not known
that she was otherwise assaulted. She
can not describe her assailant, and it Is
mystery how he got in and out Of tho
house, as the doors and windows we're
found locked as usual. The victim is
only eighteen, and is the wife Of Albert
Buchanan, Of Darby, to whom she was
married year ago, but with whom she
has not been living for some months.

blacks, drunk with illicit liquor, met on
the streets, when knives and pistols
were drawn. The officers rushed in to

Deputy Burdette, was stabbed in the
back by Mary Sheriff., colored. The
wound isquite serious. From that time

fired by the opposing parties, and when
the encounter was over it was found
that Nolan Sheriff., colored, was killed
by shot through the heart Alexander

SHOWED IN.
An Immense Blockade of the Beau
tiful in the West.
Trains Covered by Drifts to the Depth OF
Thirty Feet-Men Frozen to Death.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 21.-The snow
blockade on the Central Pacific railway,
in the vicinity of Truckee and Emigrant
Gap, has become very serious Since
Tuesday last no eastern outland trains
have been able to reach a point further
west than Colfax. At present the east
bound trains are at Sacramento, Colfax
and Shady Run, while those coming
west are at Emigrant Gap, Truckee
and Reno. At Truckee the depth
of snow ranges from eight feet to
drifts of twenty feet. The railroad
company has several hundred men
at work shoveling east of the town.
The plow was only enabled to go milo
out when it stuck, with ten engines.
The shovelers were called tothe rescue,
who, after several hours WORK. dug them
out they couid return. On the weso
the road is filled with fifteen to thirty
foot drifts in large cuts. plow with
five engines was on the road thirty-six
hours trying to reach the tunnel, eight
miles from town. The whole crew re-
turned on foot having abandoned the
train, as they became ravenous
with hunger. Another plow with
twelve locomotives started out to
clear the road to Summit, but before
they had run two miles they were Sc
curely blocked, and the snow falling
back on them they were fast in both
directions. The passengers are quar-
tered at the hotels by the railroad COM
pany. Yesterday afternoon it began
showing again heavily, and reports from
the blockaded trains at Emigrant Gap
showed that the cleared portions of the
track were again filing fast. The rail
road officials declare that the present
blockade is the heaviest and longest
they have experienced for over ten
years.
TACOMA, Wash. Jan. 21.-No Eastern
mails have reached here for eight days.
The Okanegan country is covered with
from two to five feet of snow, and the
blizzard which began with the year and
lasted five days, caused large amount
of damage to property, killing much live
stock and caused the death of at least
ten men. VIM. Jewett, who keeps stage
station about twelve miles from Alma,
on the Colville Reservation, started out
to cross the prairie and was frozen to
death. The mail carrier from WILDER
went out the same day to go to Wild
Goose Hill Ferry and was lost Cattle
are dying by hundreds on the reserva-
tion. The ranchmen calculate that
they will lose one-half their stock this
season. but Is per cent would be nearer
the true estimate.

NO SHAVE FOR HIM.
An Afro American Has the Palmer Hous,
Barber Shop All to Himself.


CHICAGO, Jan. 1s.-The color line is
drawn pretty sharply in the Palmer
house barber-shop. One of the colored
delegates to the Afro American congress
went in to get shaved. When one of
the BARRIERS shouted next he took tho
vacant chair, but he did not get his
shave. The barber walked quietly away
and did not re-appear. The colored
delegate said nothing and awaited an-
other chance. When that came he sat

TWO HIGHwAYMEN
Rob a California Train Of Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars.

Thousand Dollars.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22-From Tu-
lare, Cal, on the line of the Southern
daring and carefully planned train rob
berry in the history of the State, all ac-
complished by two men. At 4o'clock in
the morning a well-filled passenger train,
bound south, passed through Tulare. 1t
was raining and, of course, as dark as the
proverbial Egyptian night. Reaching
points seven miles north of Tulare, the
robbers, two in number, their faces COW
cred with black masks, their heads en-
casedin black slouch hats, began crawl
ing oyer the coal bunker, and with
cooked revolvers compelled the engineer
to stop his train. The robbers then
marched the engineer and fireman back
to the express car. Tell that fellow
inside to open the door," commanded
one Of the robbers, ''or we will make
shoai work Of both Of you" The engt-
neer pbeyed, and after short parley
The express messenger threw open the
door. He was ordered outof the car and
told to stand alongside the track with
the engineer and fireman. While one
of the men kept the captured train
hands covered with a revolver, the other
sprang into the car and ransacked the
express pouches. 1t is not exactly
known how much he obtained, but it is
now placed at $4,000 by railroad OIL
cials. The robbery was so quietly per-
formed thatmany of the passengers knew
nothing ofituntil after the train reached
here After securing all the booty in sight
the robber left the car and joined his pal,
who was holding the trainmen under
cover. The robbers invited the fireman
and engineer to take walk with them.
The invitation was not declined, for the
cooked weapons in the hands Of the rob-
bers had very persuasive effect. An
unfortunate tramp who had been steal
ing ride on the beams crawled out
from under the car just as e robbers
were leaving. He wanted to see what
was the matter, and his curiosity
cost him his life. The robbers
mistook him for one of the train
ands and shot him in the head, and he
died about two hours later. They left
him writhing alongside the train, and
forced the engineer and fireman to ac-
company them several hundred yards
from the train. "You can walk back
slowly" then said one of the masked
desperadoes, ''but don't try any tricks.
If YOU do" The robber did not finish
his sentence, but the CLEAN in his
eye and the revolver in his hand spoke
more plainly and convincing than any

DR.. TAlMAGE'S MOTHER.
The Famous Preachers Beautiful Pen
Portrait of Her Death.

The Famous Preachers Beautiful Pen
Portrait of Her Death.
! never write or speak TO woman hut
my mind wanders of 10 one model-the
aged one. who twenty-four years ago We
put away for the resurrection.
About eighty years ago, and just be-
fore their marriage day my father and
mother stood up in the old meeting
house at Somerville, n. j., and took
upon them the VOWS of the Christian.
Through long life of vicissitude my
mother lived harmlessly and uSefully,
and came to her end in peace. No child
of want ever came to her door and was
turned away empty. No one in sorrow
came to her but was comforted. No one
asked her the way to be saved but she
pointed him to the cross. When the
angel Of life came to ueighbor's dwell
ing she was there TO rejoice at the start
ing Of another immortal spirit When
the angel of death came to that dwell
ing she was there to robe the departed
for the burial
We had often heard her, when leading
family prayers in the absence of my
father. say: 80 Lord, ask not for my
children wealth or honor, but l do ask
that they may all be the subjects of Thy
comforting gracer' Her eleven children
brought into the kingdom of God. she
had but one more wish, and that was
that she might see her long-absent mis-
sionary son, and when the ship from
China anchored in New York harbor,
| and the long g-absent one passed over the
threshold of his paternal home, she said:
Now, Lord, lettest thou Thy servant
depart in peace, for my eyes have seen
Thy salvation"
The prayer was soon answered.
II was an autumnal day when we
gathered from afar. and found only the
house from which the soul had fed
forever. She looked very natural. the
hands very much as when they were
employed in kindness for the children.
Whatever else we forget we never for
get the look OF mothers hands As we
stood by the casket we could not help
but say; Doesn't she look beautiful?"
1t was cloudless day when. with heavy
hearts, we carried her out to the last
resting-place. The withered leaves
crumbled under hoof and wheel as we
passed, and the sun shone on the Rari-
tan river until 1t looked like fire: but
more calm and beautiful and radiant
was the setting sun Of that aged pill
yrims life No more toll, no more
tears, no more sickness, no more death.
Dear mother! Beautiful mother!
