door Of his Allenhurst cottage by a

Anderson they drew three revolvers
and threatened to shoot II she made
noise. Then at the point OF the revol-
vers the men tied the Andersons hand
and foot and placed gags In their
mouths.

the burglars ransacked the house
from top to bottom. They found some
silyerware and jewelry, but no money,
although they tore down pictures and
paintings from the walls in the search.

back to the Andersons, and, releasing
them for a few minutes, demanded
that Mr.. Anderson open safe that
stood in the hallway. The burglars
discovered that the safe was open and
empty Then they demanded that Mrs.
Anderson write her check. payable to
James Leonard. for 500. Mrs. Ander-
son said she had only $40 In the bank.
and she was compelled to sign check
for that amount.

were left Mrs. Anderson succeeded in
freeing herself after an hours work
and she cut the cords that bound her
husband. The check for $40, 1t was
learned, was afterwards cashed by an

the railroads workmen were able to
clear the tracks. Tickets TO points be-

Tacony, waiting for the southbound
train, were swept from their feet and
an instant later the station building
was torn from its foundations and
crushed into a mass OF wreckage One
man met instant death by being bur
led beneath the wreckage.
A short distance down the track
signal tower was snapped from Its
concrete foundation and carried some
distance.
A wrecking train which is stationed
at Tacony was completely pocketed by
the storm. One OF its cars was blown
from the tracks and telegraph poles
