About 2 o'clock Saturday morning
Miss Sarah A. Whipple,' an unmarried
lady who keeps the toll house at the
river bridge, was awakened out of a
sound sleep by the bursting In of her
door. Jumping out of bed, ahe was
confronted by a masked man, who pre
sented a revolver and gruffly told her
to climb back Into bed again. Another
lady, Miss Electa Harding, was sleep
ing with Miss Whipple, the only occu
pants of the house, while the robber
was reinforced by two pals, each wear
ing a mask. The terrified screams of
the ladles were cut short by the men,
who' told them that they would not be
harmed If they kept their mouths Mhut.
"It's money we're after," explained one
of them, "and we're going to have It."
The quaking mistress of the house told
them that there was not much money
In the house, but what there was, was
in the kitchen. One man stood guard
while the others searched the house,
ransacking bureau drawers, emptying
cheBts, and even raking out the ashes
from the stove and shaking out the pil
low cases on the bed in which the wo
men were lying. They secured from
$30 to $36 belonging to th bridge com
pany which had been collected as toll
during the week, and $53 of Miss Whip
ple's own money, a gold watch, chain,
and other articles, amounting to wbout
$100 in all. Then bringing In ropes,
they began preparing to bind and gag
the defenseless women, but the latter
plead so hard that they were Anally let
off with a promise not to give any
alarm under two hours. The women
lay still until daylight before ventur
ing out .to awaken anyone. A pick,
file, railway torch and a heavy pole
used In battering in the door were
found lying about. There was nothing
to give any clue to the Identity of the
robbers, but H Is not Improbable that
they are the same gang that has been
operating In Bradford and Sullivan
counties, supplemented possibly by lo
cal .talent, for they evidently knew the
ground they were working. The brldgo
tolls are allowed to accumulate during
the week and taken m charge by li.

If You Are Suffering from a Sub-Muouous
Flbrod or Ovarian Tumor, and Want
to Be Cured Without Taking Chloro
form or the Use of a Knlfs, Consult Dr.
F. B. Smith at His Parlors, 813 Wyo
mlng Avenue.
He will positively and permanently
cure you without confining you to the
bed or even to the house. If you are
atlllcted with a cancer he will cure you
and without the use of a knife or the
torture of an eating plaster. The cure
Is safe, sure, and speedy. If you are
annoyed with a blrthmbVt, superfluous
hair, pimples, or any diseases of tho
akin, he will positively and permanent
ly accomplish a speedy cure. Dr. Smith,
by his powerful magnetic treatment,
can and does effect more) permanent
cures of diseases of a chronic tendency
than the use of all the drugs and medl
clnes ever used could accomplish. For
the past centuries and almost untold
ages, since the days of Hypocrates, the
people have been obliged to depend
upon the Hat of one school and method
fur the alleviation, of all pains and Ills
that flesh Is heir to. Is It any wonder
then that the terrible death record
brought on by diseases and ravaging
epidemics has been swelling and grow
ing to an almost frightful degree. But
as the mists of the morn fade before
the beams of the rising sun, so does
the mists of popular prejudice, Ignor
ance and superstition fade before the
light of truth, and today the magnetic
physician Is recognized us the supreme
authority in all cases In his depart
ment. Dr. Smith, the magnetic phy
slclan, will give a free lecture to ladles
only at Music Hall, Lackawanna ave
nue, Baturdny afternoon. May 2G, at 2
o'clock. Commencing Monday, May 27,
Dr. Smith will hold free clinics at his
parlors, 312- Wyoming avenue, from
to 2 p. m. Consultation free. Office
hours, 9 a. m, to 5 p. m., dally ex.
