Masked Robbers Compel Him to Give
Up His Money.

Tamaqua, Pa, April 24.-Jacob Copple, a
Lewiston farmer, aged sixty-five years,
was robbed OF S137 yesterday morning by
three masked men. The old man refused to
tell where his money was hidden, where
upon lie wasbeaten and bound hand and foot.
This means failed, SO they placed a lighted
lamp To his feet until the Old man was COM

After finding S137 the robbers again

Her TRIAL RUN WAS FAST
Battleship Massachusetts, May Win
Bonus for Her Builders.
Official Trial of the bought y Warrior
Will he Made TOday-Nearly 18
Knots Made Yesterday.

Boston. April 24.-The battleship Massa-
the builders over the official course yester-
day. The trial was SO satisfactory that
only two-iifths CT the distance was steamed
over.
The ship was speeded for u little less
than two hours, and in that time she
averaged 1889 knots an hour, which
is 0.59 of knot above her contract
speed. If the vessel carries out the ex-
pectations raised by the performance tC-
day she should make a full sixteen knots
on her official trial Saturday and earn
her buildres a bonus OF 100000.
Ii was as perfect spring morning as
the sun ever rose upon when the Massa-
chusetts beaded down the bay for the
open sea, but there was heavy swell
rolling in from the ocean. The Massa-
chusetts poked her nose into a roller and
a small sea broke over her bows. This
was followed an instant afterward by
a torrent Of white-crested Ioaming water.
which swept the men at work along the
deck like niEepins. All but one OF them
escaped with a good drencbing. but one
sailor was thrown against the anchor fluke
and his leg was badly cut.
The vessel plunged continually under
water. Two sailors were sent forward
to cover the forward ventilators with
tIrpaulins, as the lower deck was being
flooded out. While they were tying
the canvas around the yentilatOrs a par
ticularly big sea came over the bow.
As the wall OF water came at them both
men hung on for their lives. The
sea lifted them from their feet and swung
them into the air. Both had a good grip,
one on a ventilatOr and the other ON a
backstay, and both held on, but as the sea
dropped them lack OIL the deck, one OF
the men was dashed with such force
uon the pianks that his ankle wa S sprained.
After the Massachusetts got out TO sea
the swell was not SO heavy, but never
theiess the surge was big enough to ma
terially reduce the speed of the ship.
After the ship got to sea force draught
was put on AMI She was speedei up the
course. When the third buoy, IL 2-5
knots from the starting buoy, was passed
Edwin s. Cramp was SO well plea sed with
the vessels performance that he ordered
her put about and the return run TO the
first buoy was III ade.
Between the first and second buoy the
ship made 14.42 knots. between the sec
Ond and third 1921 knots. and on the
return between the third and second cans
she did l $50. and bet weeu the second and
first 1888, which gave her all average
for both ways OF 1863 knots.
