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

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
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

the other companies to do business
here. 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.

Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat

o! milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it is already cured, arid in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s 'flour far above other
brands.
