This community was startled Saturday
morning last to learn that daring and sue.
cessful robbery had been perpetrated right in
their midst. Sometime during the previous
night robbers had effected an entrance through
the rear door Of the extensive ship chandlery
establishment Of The De Jean 4 Mitchell Co..
and carried of a lot Of valuable firearms,
cl"thing, etc. The goods stolen amount in
vsl"e to about $500, and a reward for that
amount has been offered By the firm for the
arrest and conviction Of the thieves. They
seemed to have proceeded deliberately, using
tallow candles to furnish light for their opera
tions, and selecting only valuable and porta-
BILE articles to carly away. Strenuous efforts
are being made BY our efficient and worthy
sheriff, Mr.. c. D. Moore, to ferret out the rob.
bsrs, and II apprshsnded they will doubtless
get the iull limit uf punishment.
Later.-As we hare predicted the robbers
have been apprehsnded, and will M doubt serve
a long term in the State prison. The thieves
proved 10 be two negroes from Whistler, Ala.
They were arrested in New Orleans while en-.
deavoring to dispose Of the stolen property.
The evidence against them is most conclusive.
They were brought back to Scranton by
Sheriff Moore and will face trial and certain
cnnviction At the next term OF circuit court.

them the application OF !, 500 employees

how the scheme has worked, and IL it
can be applied to other industries
