THE ROBBERS BouED HIM.

hODOLIlS IltNI
The most fendish attempt at rob
hery ever brought to public notice ct
Shamokin, Pa, was perpetrated early
Saturday morning at Luke Fiddler CO.
lery. Paul Osman was actually boiled
in steam by three masked men, and the
doctors say he cannot possibly recover.
The victim resides at Hickory Ridge,
and when on his wa, home from Sham
okin Saturday morning he was stopped
near Luke Fiddler by the masked rob-
ners. They asked for his money. Os
man said be had none. The highway
men seized and ran him to pipe close
by, which emitted steam ana boiling
water from the mine. They told him
that unless he gave up 500 which they
said he had when he left Shamokin
they would boil him over the pipe.
Osman begged his tormenters to re-
lease him, maintaining that he had no
money.
The captive struggled for liberty, but
was Knocked down and carried to the
pipe. The highwaymen then held
him over the escaping steam to torture
him into submission. Osmsn wss not
over the steam minute before large
strips of skin came off his back. He
shrieked in agony for help. but as the
place of torture is one hundred yards
from the public highway his cries were
unheard.
The tends laughed, and told him BE
was to be boiled alive. At this juno
ture he tainted from pain. END the
wretches thinking him to be dying laid
him upon pile of planks and fled.
Miners discovered the unfortunate man
senseless an hour later. DR.. Meek was
summoned and he revived Osman.
Then he gave the details of the awful
crime. He was removed to his home
and the physician found that one side
had been burned to the bono from the
knee to the neck. He cannot possibly
recover,

ROAD COMPLETED TO TROY.
First Trains Over the Aberdeen arc

First Trains Over the Aberdeen arc
West End 10 the County Seat Of
Montgomery.
Mr.. 4. II. Page, president Of the Aber-
deem and West End railroad, was here
yesterday. ,..a
He appeared before the Railroad
Commission and submitted tariff Tor
the transportation OF freight and pas
sengers to Troy, the road having been
completed TO that point.
He also consulted Col. Andrews. re"
oarding the extension of the railroad 20
another point
The train made the first trip through
with passengers Monday, carrying
Judge Hoke and a carload OF people 70
Montgomery county court. This Is the
first railroad that has ever penetrated
the county, and the people have been
much interested in its construction.
At Troy there are now 5000 or o,Oo9
barrels Of rosin awaiting shipment over
the new railroad
The extension to Troy is sixteen and
q half miles long, which completes
forty-two miles OF the Aberdeen and
West End road. The road is owned
entirely by the Pages, the lumber kings
of Moore county, and is purely home
enterprise. 1t shows that North Car
olinians can not only plan, build and
manage roads, but can make them
paving institutions.
