ADaxlight Robbery.

Joseph Newell, agent of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company at Birmingham,
left his Office for few minutes, on Wed.
nesday noon, and when he returned
he found that it had been broken into
and about $35 stolen.
Mr. Newell gave an alarm to some men
who were near and the party started after
fellow who had been hanging around
the station all the morning. He was seen
going down the road, and as his pursnrers
neared him he threw something away.
1t was 500 gold piece.
The fellow was caught and was taken
back to the station. Word was sent to
Pemberton for an officer, but both con-
stables were away from home. Officer
Thompson got back about six O'Clock and
went to Birmingham, where he found the
prisoner carefully guarded by about a
dozen men.
He gives the name of George Harris,
but would not state his residence. He
denied having any money about him, but
a search revealed some silver in his shoes,
and a roll of paper money in his stocking.
All of the stolen cash, save about ten
cents, was recovered.
Harris had two companions during the
day. They boarded a train at Mount Hol-
ly, and were put off at Smithville, where
they took another train and succeeded in
getting to Birmingham. Harris was
lodged in Jail, on Wednesday night, and
on Thursday the other two men were
also captured.

At about the close of the prayer meet
ing in the Baptist Tabernacle, Thursday
night man was discovered lying in the
top of the framework of the vestibule of
the Tabernacle by some of the members,
who kept it quiet until the service had
ended and most of the congregation had
retired, when some of the congregation
went to see who he was. He proved TO-
be man named Harrison Pope, who had
been born and raised in Bordentown, and
his father years ago had carried on the
boot and shoe business in this city. He
had lain there during the service, and
had entered the building during the alb
sence of the sexton, while he was away
ringing the bell for the evening service.
Pope had not been in this city for over
35 years. All of his relatives are dead.
Most of his past life had been spent on
the frontier as soldier, fighting Indians.
After he had been removed from his
perch he remarked to some of the con-
gregation that he had listened to one OF
the best sermons that he had ever heard,
and the singing reminded him of his Sun
day School days when boy in this city.

The Entertai nment.

The farces on Tuesday evening, for the
benefit of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION, were successfully rendered by
the company of "home talent" that has
given other pleasing entertainments. The
first was "The Mousetrap." in which Mr.
and Mrs. H. E. Elder were the leading
characters. Miss Laura Gaskill recited
For Loves Sake" after which the farce
1.-TWO Strings to Her Bow" was given by
Mr.. and Mrs. Elder, Miss Carrie j. King
don, Messrs. Elton ]. Buckley, Edgar A.
Alcott and Howard E. Alcott.
The last scene IN this play was very
pretty. 1t represented a garden. Over
head we're roses and flowers running on a
trelis, from which hung Chinese lanterns
with electric lights in them. This scene
was designed by Mr. Elder, who is entitled
to much credit for the interest he has
taken in several entertainments recently
given for public enterprises. The other
ladies and gentlemen are equally entitled
to credit. for they certainly have devoted
great amount of time and attention to
their work

to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

Catarrh being constitutional disease, re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the

A special meeting of the Riverton ball
club was held in Philadelphia, on We'd
nesday night, to consider plans for build
ing new bicycle track on the grounds oil
the association, at this place. Nothing was
done except to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of building the track, its size and length
Various plans were talked over. and it
was practically decided that if the track
was built it would be third of mile IN
circumference and of clay There is room
for a half-mile running track. but with
the big turns which a bicycle track re-
quires there is not sufficient room for a
half-mile track. The matter will be de-
cided at the next meeting of the associa-
ton, which is to be called at the option Of
the Board of Trustees. A surveyor will
survey the grounds this week and form
an estimate as to the size of the new rae
ing path. 1t is the intention of the as
ISOLATION to build a track that will be
second to none in this country, and if the
scheme is given the proper support Phil
adelphia wheelmen and others in this
vicinity will have record breaking track
which, though eight miles away, is very
accessible.
