Night.

The Town Was Lett In Darkness Last
Night.
The snow, hail and wind storm of yester-
day was most severe one and it is surpris.
ing that great damage was not done, es
pecially last night. when the gales swept over
the town with fury that threatened to
sweep everything before it, recapitula-
ton to-day, however, showed that compare
lively little damage resulted.
The borough presented weird aspect last
night and few people ventured upon the
streets. Snow, ice and slush covered the
pavements to depth of several inches, the
sleet swept by the gales fell with cutting
| force. and not street light burned. So
| many of the Citizens Electric Light Com
pany's wires were blown down during the
day and early evening the entire system was
put out of service Workmen were busy to-
day gathering up the lines and getting the
lights in condition for tonight.
| One of the stacks at the gas house was
blown down last night. 1t was replaced to-
day.
Two women who arrived at the Pennsyl-
vania depot at six o'clock last evening had
an experience. The depot is in very much
exposed place and the gales sweep around
that quarter furiously. A handsome and ex-
| peHSlNo udJ WOIn ny OnS VI lhS was
torn from her head and, when last seen, was
sailing high in the air, in the direction OF
Turkey Run The other woman gained en-.
trance to the waiting room without loss
She left her hat and wrap at the station and
went home clothed in an overcoat and hat
loaned by one of the employees at the station.
A gentleman who arrived at the depot at
the same time lost a valuable gold ring by
stumbling and falling while fighting the
elements in making his way along the plat
form.
The "Pennsy" waiting shed at Gilberton
was carried several feet from its location yes
terday and tumbled over. Conductor Mar
shal lost his hat in leaning out from the plat
form to see what had become of the shed,
Several planks were blown from the tip OF

DESPERATE
BURGLARS
Conduct a Safe Blowing Job at Lost
Creek.
BOUND AND GAGGED THREE MEN
The watchman Was Among Them-Two o
the Victims Were Sandbagged--J. c.
Bright and Company Are About
S7Oo Poorer-No Arrests.

Safe blowers paid visit to the store Of J.
c. Bright & Co. at Lost Creek and handled
job in genuine professional style but failed
to secure sufficient booty for the risk they
undertook The proprietors of the store
claim to have sustained practically no loss
aside from the damage done to the safe.
At 6:15 o'clock last night the watchman in
the store, B. K. Jones, heard raps upon the
front door. Supposng the bookkeeper en-
poyed at the place desired admittance, the
watchman went to the door As soon as he
unlatched the door three or four men forced
their way in, seized the watchman and ran
him backwards against radiator There
the robbers bound and blindfOlded him Not
content with this however they sandbagged
| the unfortunate man and left him unconscious
upon the floor.
simultaneously with the events transpring
! in the store others of the gang were Operat-
ing outside. There were six or seven men in
the gang. Two young men happened to pass
the store. One is named Whalen and the
other Carlin. The former lives at Lost
Creek and the latter at RappahannOck. One
of the robbers halted them and aimed a re-
volver at them. Whalen took the matter as
joke and shouted, Put that down. We
know you" At the same instant he was
! lclle0 10 Jne RrOunu Dy II DlOW Oh Iue hodN
from sandbag and rendered unconscious
Carlin was also seized, but was not struck
Both young men were then carried into tn
store, bound and gagged, and left upon tn
hoor beside the watchmau.
The road was now clear for the burglars I
pursue their plans, and they proceeded with
out delay. They first broke the handle o
the safe, then drilled hole close to the com
bination inserted small pipe, injected tn,
? explosion and then-boom But the charge
failed to do the work expected and the
burglars took another tack. After removing
the rivets from the bottom of the safe they
put charge in the opening. This time the
explosion was effective and the contents Of
the safe were reached. The burglars found q
small amount of money in a tin box, mum
Der of checks and some cheap watches. They
left the checks behind. In leaving the place
the burglars carried away sixteen-shot Coll
rifle
No arrests have been made, and the de
scriptions given of the burglars are so meage
that some difficulty will be experienced il
tracing them.
Although the proprietors of the store den!
that the burglars secured much money, /
was learned from a reliable source this after
noon that they carried away about 500 il
, cash.

1t is impossible to say what mat

During the closing days of the last

will redeem this promise, and would
