We trust that the effort to induce
Congress to pass a Civil Pension bill
will utterly fail. This to our mind is
the most fragrant piece of injustice
ever attempted to be fastened upon
the people OF any free government.
The idea of giving a man a position
In the service OF the government for
life at a salary, often far in excess
OF what he could earn. or what his
fellow men are earning in other walk
of life at shorter hours and then
compelling his fellow men through
the National government to pay him
"A pension when he is too old TO
work, would seem 10 be injustice per-
sonified. When this matter was first
talked of we thought 1t was simply
q joke. Why not pension all ex-mem-
bers OF Congress, and all other Off
Gers for the matter of that. Where

Lewistown, Pa, Sept IA lone
robber stopped a westbound express
train on the Pennsylvania railroad at
The Narrows, eight miles east of here,
robbed the express car of $1,000 in
gold and escaped into the mountains.
Conductor Poffenberger of Harris
burg was shot through the hand in a
fight with the robber.
The train was stopped by signal
cap at one Ct the most inaccessible
points on the railroad and a masked
man stepped out of the bushes along
the tracks and covered the engineer
and fireman with revolver.
The highwayman moved along to
the baggage car, but could not open
It.. He then went to the next car.
which was the express car, and or
dered the messenger to open the door.
The messenger obeyed.
The safe in the car contained $685.
900 in money and bullion. Realizing
the need of assistance in getting
away with the money the robber
called to the fireman of the train for
help and, still wearing his mask, gath
cred up some bags of money and with
the fireman in the lead, also carrying
bags of coin, started up the mountain
side.
At point about 300 yards up the
incline the two men laid down their
burden and the fireman was ordered
back to his train. At this juncture
two or three of the passengers, who
had been aroused by the unusual stop,
came on the scene and their presence
encouraged the trainmen to offer re-
sistance.
The robber opend fire, but the only
damage he inflicted was to send bull
let through the hand of Conductor
Isaac r. Pcffenberger, one of the old
est and best known conductors in
the service of the company. The high
wayman then grabbed bag of money
and fled up the mountain, leaving
practically all of his booty where the
fireman had deposited it for him.
