THE SCBANTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY MORNINGK MARCH 8, 1895. OUTRAGE BTWHIIE CAPS The family of George Wagner Shame fully Abused by Masked Men. BURNED NR. WAGXER'S FEET Six Cowardly Robbcra Armed with Re volver Terrorize a Family While in Search of Plunder-Other News from Pittston. Epaelal to the Snranton Tribune. PIttston, March, 7. One of the most dastardly outrages upon record wus perpetrated lust evenlntr on the family of George Wagner, of Hxeter borough. Mr. Wagner Is a respected farmer, Somewhat advanced In years. His fam ily consists of himself, wife, a grand daughter about 1,6 years of age, und a a hired man whose name could not be learned. All four were at home last evening, after supper. Mr. Wagner was reading, while the others were whlllng itlie evening away with a game of domi noes. Suddenly, at about 7.40 o'clock, they (were startled by the noise of a number of men outside of the house. Hefore they had time to Investigate, the door was opened without ceremony, and live nen entered all with revolvers In their hands and -all having white clothes cov ering their faces. A sixth man, sim ilarly armed and disguised, remained outside the door, guarding the same, after having closed the window blinds from the outside on the front of the house. Inside, without much ado, the des peradoes took possession of the house. .The hired man was tied, being the one jnost likely to cause them trouble, while the others were guarded. Without doubt, the object of the band was rob l.ery. At any rate they ransacked every room in the house. Not a drawer or a box was left untouched, and the ar ticles were scattered about in wild confusion. All that rewarded the rob bers were a few dollars In change. Finally, the robbers, discovering no money, turned upon the aged husband and wife and threatened them with ven geance If they refused to reveal where their money was hid. They protested that there was no money In the house, but this did not satisfy the gang. In a final desperate effort to extract some thing from Mr. Wagner, they removed his boots, and, with a shovel heated at the stove, scorched his feet pain fully. Even this torture failed to re sult in anything satisfactory, and finally, when they had threatened Mrs. Wagner with the same treatment, and received from her further protestations that there was no money In the house, the gang gave up the Job, and made fod their escape. Before doing so, however, they com manded the now thoroughly terrorized Inmates of the house not to follow them, or even go outside of the house, on pain of being shot. The people were so badly frightened that they obeyed the injunc tion to the letter, and It was not until 7 o'clock this morning, when they saw a neighbor passing, that they ventured cut to tell the thrilling story. The older members of tht family were not seriously affected by their exciting experience. The young girl of the house hold was the most seriously affected. She was terribly frightened by the operations of the desperadoes and her nervous system sustained a severe shock. For a time her condition was serious. X)r. Johnson was called this morning to attend her. Mr. McCabe, who lives but a short 'distance away from the Wagners, heard the men both going to the place and coming away, but no suspicions were aroused in his mind, sines men pass along the road to and from work at all hours of the night. He visited the Wagner house this morning and says he never saw a house so badly ran sacked. He found footprints in the snow around the house and followed them down the road quite a distance. The authorities have been notified, and although there Is scarcely any cluo on which to work, efforts will be made to ferret out the desperate gang. This morning Mrs. Wagner picked up on the floor of the house a 22-callber cartridge, which evidently had been dropped by one of the robbers. Lively Cocking Main. Our local sports had quite deserteil our city last night at 9 o'clock. Murmers of a rooster fight could be heard oc casionally in the afternoon, but few out Fide the ring were a-warp as to the whereabouts of the fight. At midnight last night a lot of sports from Wllkes Uarre, Ashley, Kingston, this city and all the towns Intervening, gathered at Cray's hotel at the mountainside back of Maltby. The battles were very ex citing and the East Side birds won an easy victory. The birds werp owned by 3umes Reed, of Kingston, and Mr. Ol 111 pan, of Afhley, and the battle was fur tGOO a side, with a number of heavy bets on the side.. The IMttston boys knew where to place their dough nnd are wearing an expression of satisfac tion today as a result of the exchange of money last night. In the first battle Kingston pitted a black red, weighing six pounds, against a bird of the same specious, In which Iteed's bird won. In the second battle two' black-reds were pitted, weighing five pounds, and twelve ounces. In which Jteed's bird ' was again victorious. In' the third battle Ollllgan pitied a white bird, which was easy done by Reed's gray at five pounds each. The Kingston bird, a Domintck, won the fourth fight. Kach bird weighed five pounds. Heed's blue bird won the fifth and lust battle against Ullllgan's 2N viS -vnw - Beware of imitation!. The gin- xSi r " must have tho iignaturo:t?ifitfM!Srlli Beware of imitation!.

Further evidence that the Reading railroad Is in the market after all the coal business It can secure is found In the weekly statement of Its tonnage, showing shipments last week of 3411,541 tons, an increase over the same week last year of no less fhan 140,799 tons. Compared with the week ended Feb. Hi. this is an Increase of 4.1.4SI tons, and an Increase over the week before of 10:!.521 tons. Concerning the Reading company's notification to the Jersey Central and Lehigh Valley railways that after March 11 the through rate tariff on coal betweenllertilehem, Allentown and -Philadelphia will be discontinued, aiid In stead the Reading company will make an arbitrary rate on all coal shipped over Its lines by foreign companies. President Harris has made the follow ing official statement: "The receivers of the Reading companies, In pursuance of their endeavor to decrease tho ex penses and Increase the earnings of the properties In their charge, have, after careful consideration, decided that the proportion of the rate on anthracite coal coming Into Reading territory from the Wyoming and Lehigh regions by way of Allentown and Bethlehem Is less than they are entltlod to cl.flni for the work of hauling and distributing the coal. They have, therefore, given notice to the Lehigh Valley und Jersey Central Railroad companies after March 11 they will take us their share a larger proportion of the freight rate from the mines to various points within their territory. This action makes no change In tho through freight rate from the mines to the consumer, but changes the division of the rate ns be- twten the different railroads which carry the coal. The Reading company has for many years admitted freely Into Its local territory tho coal com ing from these 'railroads, while the Reading's coal Is excluded from their loe.il territory, and the receivers have ilt elded that they will no longer con tli. ue to promote this discrimination against their own coal by taking an In adequate compensation for the service n 'idered by them." Philadelphia Inquirer: Fifteen years ago the Reading produced nnd hauled over 60 per cent, of the anthracite coul consumed In .this city; now Its propor tion Is less than t per cent. It has admitted other producers upon even terms ns to freight rates and these com petitors ' have taken away Its trade either by furnishing a more popular article or by cutting prices. That tha Rending controls the market cannot be doubted, and It has always remalne'd a disputed question whether the company made anything by allowing the out side roads to secure nrcess to all the dealers In the city for practically no consideration. It has now served no tice that It wants Its business back or It wants mora pay for allowing John Drew SAYS: FIND the genuine mm 00 m a jonann nou s man Extract very beneficial for brain workers.

Mr. Harris Is very slow to make up his mind, but when once his con clusion has "been reached he sticks to it. A year ago he set out to get a fair share of the coal business, and he has held to his original purpose with great tenacity. Now he wai-aV more money out of tho local coal busi ness and he will get It, cither through the other companies acceding to his demands or through enlarged sales by his own company. The next thing In order will be a radical reduction in coul prices to a level that will make produc ers sick. STOCKS AM) BONDS. New York. March 7.

Hovinluo is not a medicine, but a life-maintainlug, flesh, bone, and blood making preparation that contains the greatest amount of nourishment in the least possible bulk. 4 ' Oivo it to the little otitis while there is still hope.
