rsPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
LIMA, O., Jan. 2.-On February 81, 1882,
the United States express Office in this city
was robbed of package of money contain
ing s. 800. The money was sent here by
the Treasurer of the Lake Erie and Western
Railroad Company from Lafayette, Ind,
and was directed to the paymaster of the
company to be used in making the usual
monthly payments to employees. AT this
time the United States Office was located,
together with the Adams Office, in the cor
ner room of the old frame depot of the Pitts
burg, Ft Wayne and Chicago Railroad.
George w. Myers was at the time joint
agent and James II. Coons was night agent.
The money arrived here at 10 o'clock at
night and was receipted for by Coons.
About 81 900 of the money was in coin; the
rest in currency. The coin was in sack
and was placed on top of the safe. After
receiving the money and placing it in the
office, Night Agent Coons went out to receive
his run from the train on the Ft, Wayne
Railroad. When he returned he found the
door of the Office had been forced open by
small crowbar, the safe unlocked and the
package of money gone. The safe was an
old-fashioned one that opened with a kew.
An alarm was given and the company had
detectives and officials here to investigate,
but no clew was discovered and the matter
was dropped and had almost been forgotten
until to-day
Suits were filed to-day by Thomas G.
Platt, as President of the company, through
James L. Price, against ex-Chiet of Police
William R. Colvin and his son, Harmon NJ.
Colvin. asking for judgement against them
tor $1,000, with per cent interest from Feb
ruary q, 1882, the time when the money was
taken. The petition charees that the de-
PENDANTS chad previous knowledge that the
money would arrive there on the date
given, and that they did wrongfully COM
bine and confederate to take the money; and
that they planned and devised ways and
means to carry their purpose into execution;
and that they did unlawfully, wrongfully
and fraudulently seize and take and carry
away the money"
The filing of the suit has caused tremen-
dous sensation. William R. Colvin was City
Marshal at the time of the robbery and
served the city in that capacity for many
years thereafter, and when the police force
was created he was made Chief of Police.
He owns valuable real estate, and his son,
Ii. NJ. Colvin, owns several business blocks,
and is a director in the Ohio National Bank.

me the greatest trouble. During a greater
part of that time I was compelled to live on
liquid food entirely, as solids caused great
distress, nausea, vomiting, fatulence ana
the most eXcruciating cramps. Vomiting
was my only relief from such attacks.
"ln addition to my stomach trouble had

A Physicians Circular Letter and How Drs.
Copeland, Hall and Byers Reply to 1t
Action More Forc;ble Than Words-A
Bit Of History.
The fve-dolIar rate which Drs. Copeland,
Hall and Byers introduced for stated
period created genuine surprise, not only
among doctors and druggists, but among
newspaper readers generally. 1t was such
a radical departure from the big fees usually
charged by persons claiming to be special
lists that at first it could hardly be u"der-
stood by the public OF course ihe rate was
not exceedingly prof table TO the physicians
themselves and in some cases, especinlly
those of patients out of The city, needing
special preparations or apparatus to supply
the place of office treatment, it entalleu IL
positive loss In spite Of tins; however,
the terms of their offer. and in no case was IL
patient charged more than s. Il month for
medicines and treatment during the period
the offer covered.
EnviOuS and less successful doctors looked
on ut first with incredulity.
"There is some trick about it, they said
"They are going to get mo money some
way. Thcv cannot treat patients and fur
nish medicines at S5 month"
But in spite OF this warning, intelligent
newspaper renders who had carefully
watched the ca! eer OF DR.. Copeland and his
associates during the many veals that they
have practiced medicine in Pittsburg know
that there was no trick about it. They knew
that Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers re-
ligiously kept their promises to the public,
and the offer met with a cordial and almost
overwhelming response. Drs. Copeland.
Hall and ByerS did what their enemies said
could not be done. They did it, not only Tor
one month, but for three consecutive
months. Then incredulity gave place to
anger. Envious doctors realized that tell
ing blow had been struck at the unreason-
able system of heavy fees and expensive
prescriptions. After that a remark fire.
quently made by discounted physicians
was:
"Oh, true they are simply doing that to

the patients they want they will raise their
rates and make a lot of money"

Well, we are prepared to show. the weak
ness of this method of attack just as clearly
as we have shown the weakness of other at
tacks from similar source. We are going
to renew that offer to all patients who can
come to the Office for treatment or medi-
cines-in fact for all cases wherein the rate
does not entail a positive loss to us. Out-of-
town patients will be charged only, in addi-
tion to this rate, the actual wholesale cost of
they may need. To local patients we will
maintain the rate OF So month
for all medicines and treatment
for the remainder of tho winter
months, january and February We believe
this thoroughly demonstrates what we have
been attempting to show, that patients can
be skillfully, thoroughly and successfully
treated at one-fourth. yes, one-tenth the
cost charged by many who claim to be
specialists.
