apparatus, is understood and appre-
clated by very few persons. Their
cash market value today is estimated
at nearly ten and half million dol
lars, When the annual product of
the farm is taken into consideration
with the added resources of the or
chard, the dairy, and live stock, some
idea can be formed of the immense
wealth of the farming classes in Sum-

the exception Of a few acres of garden,
and some live stock enumerated by
the county clerk and put under the
head of farm resources.

BURGLARS USE ETHER.
Then They Make on with All the
Money in the Trousers Pocket of
Their Unconscious Victim.

Wilkes Barre, July 20.--A new rec
ord for burglarious nerve was made
here this morning when robbers ef-
fected an entrance into the residence
of Charles Tammany, the well-known
furniture dealer, at PIC Northampton
street, stupefed the family by use Of
ether, and made off with nearly $400
which Mr. Tammany had in his trous-
ers pocket.
The robbery was not discovered un-
til 630 o'clock this morning, when Mr.
Tammany arose and missed the money.
His collectors had been out yesterday
and returned with over $400 and the
merchant took all the bills home with
him, not caring to leave that amount
in the office safe. The pocket book
was in his trousers pocket on a chair
in his bed room. Mr.. Tammanys vest,
which contained his diamond ring, val
ued at $3.50, gold watch, locket and
chain worth over $100 and II cents in
change, lay under the trousers, but
was not molested.
When Mr.. Tammany awoke he no.
ticed peculiar odor in the room and
on arising found his trousers mussed
and he realized at once that he had
been robbed The trousers, together
with those of his son, Stanley, and his
wifes dress, were found downstairs in
the back paror. The pockets of these
garments We're turned inside out and
the money they had contained was
gone.
A bottle with a small amount of
ether was found on a window ledge
near Mr.. Tammany's room and a lin
en cloth, well saturated with the drug
was found lying near the house dog,
telling the story of how the burglars
made sure of their work.
Mr. Tammany desires the burglars
to return and take the seventeen cents
and his ieWelry

HELD UP ON THE MOUNTAIN.
Four Men Attempt to Rob a Miners
Mills Merchant.

Wilkes Barre, July 20.-Samuel Smol-
avich, a merchant residing at Miners
Mills, had an exciting experience with
robbers on the Wilkes-B Barre mountain
last night and thanked his good fortune
that he was not robbed and murdered
Smolavich was returning from the
quarries on the mountain at Jumpers,
where he had been making collections,
and had over $500 on his person. Go
ing down the mountain at $50 O'Clock
last night, driving his horse, he was
stopped by four men who stood In the
middle of the road. 1t was near the
locality where Red Nose Mike and his
gang shot Mcclure and Flanagan, and
fearing violence Smolavich drew a re-
volver and ordered the men to let him
pass on or he would shoot. They re-
fused, ordered him to get down from
his wagon and told him to drop his gun
or they would kill him.
At this point gang of Hungarians
going towards Jumpers rounded turn
in the road and the four men made
their escape in the woods. The timely
arrival of the Hungarians in all prob
ability saved Mr.. Smolavich's life. He
will be well armed and have an escort
the next time he ventures that road
after dark.

VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
Little Girl Wheels Into n Delivery ri 9
and Gets Under Horses Heels.

Wilkes Barre, July 2O.-Just before
noon today a little girl, aged about
ten years, while wheeling on West
Market street, lost control of her mount
and rode directly, side on. into a de-
livery rig. She passed fairly between
the front wheels of the wagon and
the horse and fell on the asphalt un-
der the wagon and almost under the
heels Of the horse.
The vehicle was travelling at a walk
and the driver stopped quickly, and
the horse being very quiet and gentle,
the little one was eXtricated without
damage to herself or her wheel. But
1t was a narrow escape.
