CRACKSMEN BIND
POLICEMAN AND
ROB P0ST0FF|CE
Band of Seven Blows Up Safe
With Nitroglycerine and
Escape.

ATHOL, Mass, Dec. 4.-Seven rob-
bers who blew open the safe of the
Athol postoffice early today, after over
powering and binding two men-one a
town policeman-seized about $500 in
cash and stamps worth from $500 to
5000. The burglars had evidently laid
their plans carefully, and that they
were desperate men was indicated by
the boldness with which they seized
and handcuffed Night Policeman Frank
". Bannon and locked him up in the
town police station, after having re-
lieved him Of his revolver. Harry King,
an express messenger, was also over
powered by the burglars, who held him
outside the postoffice while the work
of blowing open the safe was accom-
plished.
Two charges Of nitroglycerine Were
used ON the safe. The sound of h ex-
plosion awakened many people in the
neighborhood, and the first to arrive
on the scene saw the last of the sever
burglars running away.
Two banks are located in the same
block with the postoffice, but no at
tempt to enter them was made by the
burglars.

High Street and Central Avenue,
Where Man Was Killed, a
Constant Menace.

1t. Even when the automobilists try 10
go cautiously down the hill there Is
danger. Even with the brakes on the
Ears go faster than they should. An
other danger is added by the brick
house on the southwest corner of the
streets. It is impossible for any one
approaching from the west or south to
see what is going on in the cross street
until they are almost in the street
themselves. Then if the a is going
fast it is too late.
ST think when the commissioners
realize the conditions there they Will
let me have a man for the place.
Since Captain Brown has had charge
of the Second Precinct he has had men
placed permanently at the corner OF
Washington street and Central avenue,
at Broad and Bridge streets and under
the Lackawanna bridge or Broad
street, all danger points for pedestrians.
The guarding Of Central avenue and
High street will eliminate another spot
of danger in his territory.

GENERAL MURRAY
YIELDS SCEPTRE
ONCE LAID ASIDE
Abdication of Mercer County Re-
publican Leader of Short
Duration.
ESPECIAL to the newark start

TRENTON, Dec. 4.-The abdicatior
Of General C. Edward Murray from the
Republican leadership Of Mercer coun-
ty, which took place the day after cleo
ton, has already become Hon-effectiye
When the Regular Republican forces
had been routed at the polls the follow
Ing statement vas issued by the neao
of the party In the county:
"The result of yesterdays election
proves c~onclusively, to my mind, thai
the people want a change in municipal
affaIrs-not a change from Republican
ism to Democracy, but, | lake 1T, many
Republican voters desire q change in
the personnel Of the oficeholders.
IT now feel that the time has ar
rived when / cannot only serve ms
party's best interests, but my W per.
sonal comforts as well, by withdrawing
from active politics.
Many of the generals old followers
were not only surprised but disap-
pointed by his action. Some said thai
he was quitting under fire; others that
he had some scheme which he would
disclose later.
Thursday night the plan became APP
parent, the old leader getting back into
the ring by taking part in the caucus
of the newly-elected Republican coun-
cilmen, urging the candidacy of Harry
E.. Evans. for city treasurer, and Others
o. his choice for city positions. Will
lam Mutt was the only of the gen.
erals candidates who failed to win out,
AS a result political circles are talk
ing about little else than the reap
pearance of General Murray. The Re-
declare that he should have
stayed out as long as the people did
not appear to want him. The Demo-
say hat they will have no trouble
now in winning out in 1911. 1t Is
thought that the neglect of the Repub-
lican party to clean house when. it had
the chance will be q strong argument
against it at the next election.
