that man wanted to see him outside. Kearns
went out and met three young men. They
induced him to walk with them until he was
opposite stairway leading down into a cellar.
Suddenly he was pitched headtoromost INTO
him and beat him about the face and body.
They then took 1862 from his pockets and ran
away. Ksarnss screams attracted the atten:
tlon OF a crowd of men and boys. who pursued
the thieves down Market street toward the
East River. The robbers were eornered on
the pier and jumped into the river. They ap-
peared to be expert swi m niers and soon dis
man in rowboat made a search for them. but
did not hnd them.
The robbery was reported to Capt. McClusky
and he detailed Detectives Cronin. Hennessey
and Mccarthy on the case. On FRIDAY night
thAv found Harrington and Hvman in a Chat

az the one who entced him out OF the saloon
and Harrington as one OF the assailants. Tho

The Laurel authorities are making efforts

alleged to be due the town for road pur-
poses. The commissioners have no care OF
the streets within the town limits and no
county road supervisor is appointed for
them, and the town authorities want the

ly terms with every one of them. He prob
ably has some friends whom he would like
to favor, but it Is obviously going to be
difficult for him to do so in any conspicu-
Gus way under the circumstances. All the
members being friendly Indians he can
not well set one man aside in favor of an
other without arousing a feeling of resent
ment where no such feeling now exists
Apparently about the only opportunity for
the distribution Of favors is such as is af-
forded by the retirement of republicans
from Congress The favors he can, as
Speaker, extend to the members on the
floor of the House are likely, however, to
count for more, in the long run, than the
mere matter of committee assignment.

1t is just about as hard to induce a
confirmed invalid, especially one suffer
ing with weakness of the lungs, to take
the first step to health. There is lack
OF confidence, and perhaps a crushing
experience of former failure which
depresses and discourages the sufferer.
In spite of doubts and fears YOU will
take the first step to health when YOU
take the first dose of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t never fails to
help. In finety-eight cases out of one
hundred it never fails to cure. Never
mind about the symptoms. Obstinate
cough, bleeding of the lungs, splitting of
blood, emaciation, night-sweats, condi-
tons which if neglected or unskillfully
treated terminate in consumption. have
all been perfectly and permanently cured
by Golden Medical Discovery.
