MEDIA, Pa, Oct. 16--By sheer grit and
pluck Miss Adele Robinson, a young wo-
man OF this place, Sunday night after a
trying encounter put to fight burglar
whom she had discovered prowling around
her home. The young woman fought
braveIy until she heard the intruder's
receding footsteps and then she tainted.
Miss Robinson, who is the daughter of
United States Marshal John B. Robinson,
was sitting in the rear room of the house
when she heard footsteps on the rear
porch. She Immediately went out the
back door to investigate, but seeing no
one went down a flight of steps leading
to the lawn.
At this point man emerged from un-
der the steps and came toward her She
asked him what he wanted, and in answer
the fellow sprang at her. and grasping
her by the throat, to stifle her cries,
forced her out toward the darkness of the
lawn. Miss Robinson was unable to cry
out, but she made good use of her hands.
scratching the mans face.
In order to protect his eyes the fellow
was compelled to release the hold on her
throat, and then Miss Robinson uttered
a piercing scream which aroused the
household. The assailant released her
and ran, and the girl swooned away, in
which condition she was discovered by
the family few seconds later When
found her hands were covered with blood
and it was evident that the man had not
escaped unmarked. Miss Robinson's iniu-
ries are not serious.
For some time past there have been pc
riodical attempts to enter the marshaPs
mansion. Two weeks ago Mr.. Robinson
came home late. and after he had entered
the house heard footsteps on the porch
Looking out the window he saw a man ap-
parently intoxicated. The fellow sobered
up instantly, however, when Mr. Robin
son told him to- leave or he would shoot
him, and ran away. Last Tuesday night
footsteps were again heard, but the ma
raudeF was scared away.

William Golfers new comedy. ION the
| Quiet presented at the Columbia Thea
ire last night before a very delnonstrative
| gathering is one of the best pieces that
the quaint comedian has ever offered
| amusement patrons, and certainly no fun
nier piece has been seen on a local stage
for many day. Augustus Thomas new
est product affords Mr.. Collier plenty of
opportunities for the display of the quiet
style of humoT for which he is famed, and
there was nc time during the comedians
presence on the stage last night when the
audience was not convulsed.
The Thomas play tells interesting
| story of the trials OF a young Yale stu
dent TO win the hand of a New York heir
ess. The son of Elihu Yale is represented
| by Mr.. Collier SO il is almost superfuous
| to mention that he succeeds in marrying g
