MONEY -sNATcHERs FoILED.
A Daring Attempt ut Daylight Rob
berry in Philadelphia.


Philadelphia, July 2S-An attempt to
hold up the ticket seller in charge at the
Reading Atlantic City Ferry. at the foot
of Chestnut Street, was made by two men
this morning with a holiness that rivals
the daring OF the gang which committed
the Fairmount Park car barn outrage
One Of them, George Wallace, aged thirty
two years, was captured in blind alley,
after an exciting chase. The other, after
wrenching a valise from passenger, made
his escape and the police are searching for
him. The ferry at the foot of Market
Street is always crowded at this time OF
year by Atlantic City passengers. The
early morning passengers had just left on
the boat when a number Of people in the
ferry house who were waiting for a sub
urban train were startled by hearing Harry
Hudson, the clerk in charge, cry for help.
The ticket agent is a muscular man. but he
Was no match for the two, and they sue
ceeded in breaking away from him. They
dashed through the crowd and one OF
them, snatching yalise from a young
countryman who was on his way to a
Jersey resort, daTted into a building in
Delaware Avenue. and nobody having
presence OF mind thought to pursue him
Wallace was the man who attempted to
seize the money, and Hudson, leaving the
Office in charge Of a thoroughly scared
woman. gave him chase. He was joined
by Policeman Alexander. and presently by
a crowd of wharfmea. The thief ran up a
blind alley at Delaware Avenue and Chest
nut Street ard was captured. How the
two men got into the ticket ciRce is a
mystery. The first Hudson saw of them
was when Wallace attempted TO seize the
money, which Hudson was in the act of
counting. Turning, the second man was in
the act OF striking him, when he dodgad
and swung a chair at the two and at the
same time called for help There was no
money in the grip which WaIlace's ac-
complice stole

WO0DARD ANSWERS.
An Accounting in the Dries Estate
Matter Filed.

Attorney Henry F. Woodland yesterday
made full and complste accounting Of his
stewardship in connection with the manage
ment of the estate of John F. Dries, who
in March. 1897, was adiudged a lunatic and
committed TO the asylum. The accounting
is an answer to petition filed few days
ago by Augustus Achstetter through his
attorneys. F. Edward Mitchell and Edward
G. Niles. asking for settlement by Mr..
Woodard and his CO trustee Mason n.
Richardson. 1t was charged In the petition
that Dries was not being treated properly
by the committee and that his property was
being neglected
Mr.. Richardson is at present out of the
city. but on hearing of the petition being
filed Immediately wrote to Mr. Woodard
concerning the matter, and among other
things said: II have heard by mail OF the
attack Niles made upon us in the Dries
case. l believe Niles object is to sell the
real estate through trustees. he TO be one.
and in this way realize large commissions
for himself That is the sole inspiration
of this attack"
In answer to the charge made by Ach-
stetter that Dries had not been furnished
shoes and clothing while in the asylum, Mr.
Richardson. in his letter to Mr.. Woodard.
says: There is an order in my letter file
with note that as Dries was away on
visit, the order for shoes and clothing would
be returned for the present"
Regarding the management of the fnan-
cial affairs of Dries, Mr. Woodland states
that before he was adjudged insane his
property. houses 1211, 1911. and 1913 Florida
Avenue northeast, was in charge of R. O.
Hoffman. and that 1t was deemed adyisa-
BILE to leave 1t in the hands Of the real
estate agent then in charge. The statement
that be and his co-trustse, Mason y. Rich
ardson. were called upon by anyone for an
accounting other than by Dries wife, Mr.
Woodland characterizes as wilfuIly and ma,
lciously false.
1t is also false. he says, that Dries has
been maintained while in the asylum at tbs
expense Of the Government. and in sub
sanitation OF this statement Mr.. Woodard
files the account for board paid for Dries
Vouchers showing amounts paid Saks &
Co. and Lansburgh for clothing, and Mar
ceron for shoes. are also fled as exhibits
The statement Of his management OF tn.
finances of Dries flied by Mr. Woodland
shows that S6S5.1S was received from all
sources and that S640.27 was expended
which would leave balance now on hand
of s44.91.

HEROIC HOME TREATMENT

why, in their Health Hints for the
Helpless they say that the reaction
and after-gIow OF cold morning baths

without any warm water at allT cried
Mrs Shivvers.

COCOON! l couldn't" shuddered
Mrs. Shiyvers.
Mr.. Shlvvers smiled superior smile.
"Of course, IL is rather heroic treat
ment and requires considerable moral
as well as physical courage, but to a
man convinced OF sts efficacy that Is
of no consequence" he said. colnplac-
emily, land | certainly shall give u

tifying his sudden resolution. lit Is not

gradual immersion while you very
slowly count six. Like this: One, ana
you put in one foot; two. and you put
in the other; three, you sink upon one
knee: four, you kneel on both; i've,
you plunge in your arms. and six, you
immerse your body. So, after all II is
not SO very dreadful Yes. ! shall eer-
tainly try ii tomorrow morning.
However. Mr.. Shivvers did not
seem so enthusiastic in the morning.
His wife let the cold water run. ac-
cording to his instructions, until the
tub was full to overlooking. but in
spite of reiterated information TO that
effect he still fingered in bed.
Jeremiah cried Mrs. Shivvers. mt

doing up her hair, this is the eleventh
time I've called you. and you just must
get up. You'll he late for breakfast
as ii is. You needn't try that bath If
you are afraid of it, she added, with
laugh.
Slowly and reluctantly Mr.. Shivyers
crept out from under the warm covers.
silently casting look OF reproach up
on his smiling spouse. and into the
bathroom. with the laggard step of one
who has something weighing upon his
mind. Then there was IA long, very
long wait. Nor was IL until his wife
had several times eXhorted him to

him say:
"O-o-o-one. Ouch! GOSH
Then there was another wait. and
another eXhortation.
"T-t.tt-twoooo. Ow-ow-ow-wow!"
Another wait and exhortation.
"To- th-th-th-th -three-e-e-e-e-e." next
came chattering from the bathroom.
Immediately followed by blood-curd-
ling shout and Il tremendous splash.
Then there was succession of agon-
lied yells, and what Mrs. Shivvers at
first took for streak of lightning
flashed out of the bathroom. plunged
into bed and rolled itself tightly up in
the covers.
"Why. jeremiah" gasped Mrs. Shiv-
