airy fasting day. But when other
Nigils were abolished. that OF
Christmas was still preserved. and
to this day. according TO ancient
custom. the people went IN tho
church to assist at the singing of
tho divine office and at the sacri-
flee OF the mnss.
on Christmas Day. against the
rule which prevails on every other
day in the year, priests are allowed
TO celebrate three masses.
The Roman Ordines prove that
the Popes used on Christmas Day
70 say three masses-the first in
the Liberian Basilica; the second in
the Church OF st. Anastasia. whose
memory Is celebrated on Decem-
ber 25; the third in the Vatican
Church.
A. mystical explanation OF the
three MASSES Is given. and they
are supposed TO figure the three
births Of our Lord--viz: OF His
Father before all ages. of the Bless
ed Virgin. and In the hearts Of the
faithful.

italians to the Rescue.

Nearly every italian was armed. and.
Seeing the posse approaching. the high
waymen made a dash. From time 20 time
they stopped TO sho0t back at the band
Of Italians which was doing plenty of
shooting but whose bullets were going
wide of the mark. The only words spoken
by the men who had made the attack
were that the operator had q telephone in
his tower and that he would notify the
police.
While the ItaAans were chasing fhe men
down the railroad tracks hurry messages
had been sent to .rhe headquarters here
by .he operutor who had been shooting,
and a force Of police under command OF
lCap1ain c. r.. Evans was fastened aboard
the Colonial express. which leaves here at
S O'Clock.
Most Of the men who were summoned
were off duty at the time. bu. they were
quickly gotten together and heavily arm
ed. A portion of the men were put of at
the tower ana the others were put of at
Linwood. Tho parues worked toward each
other and secured The country for some
distance around. but were unable to find
amy trace Of the men. In the meantime
the Chester police had also been notified
and We're put at work on the chase. About
the headquarters in this city there was
an opinion that am effort hal previously
been made 10 tamper with the wires OF
the railroad company, as one of them
WAS IN trouble just before the report Of
the attempted hoid-up was received. The
tower where the affair occurred is practi-
caily on tho State line below Linwood.
and IS known as one Of the most lonely
towers on the entire division.
Intended to Hold-up Train.
Cosiett. the operator. had been ON duty
but short time when the attempted
hold-up occurred. The time was only a
few minutes before several important
trains passed and while the railroad Of
hcais are silent on that point fl Is be-
ieved that the men not only intended TO
hold up the operator but also to hold up a
itrain. All that saved the operator from
surprise was uhe appearance Of the Ltal-
ian trackwaiker who had been there 60
report. Had he not been there at the time
the entrance 30 the tower would have been
clear, and there would have been nothing
to interfere with the hold-up.
Both prisoners were arruisned before
Magistrate Smith in Chester this morning
and held under $500 bail each for a further
hearing. They admitted being at the tow
er last night, but deny the assault.

Attaeked lraekwalker.

II was about 7.3o o'clock when an

10 make report, as required by the rules
OF the company. and was set upon by two
men who were just about TO go up tn,
stairs where Operator A. G.. Coslctt wai
stationed. Tho urackwalker showed fight
but he was easily handled by the two
men, but the noise attricted the atten-
ton of Coslott. who appeared on thu
