TELLS A STRANGE STORY.
B. E. Osbournc, of Auburn, N. Y. Says He
Was Held Up and Robbed Thurs.
day Night on Spruce Street.
B. F Osbourne, a commercial travel
ler, who resides nt Auburn, N. Y says
that he was held up at Penn avenue
and Spruce street Thursday night at 9
o'clock and relieved of $45.
That's the substance of his story.
There were two men: one of them
placed a revolver at his ear and de
manded money. The other went
through his pockets and extracted
therefrom $45 In bills. Mr. Osbourne
made no outcry, ho said, because he
has a family at Auburn and there- was
a probability at least of the hammer
of that revolver falling and separating
him from those who depend on him
for support. So he did not resist.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Osbourne
says he went to Chief of Police Bob
ling and in answer to his request that
the matter be Investigated Chief Bob
ling, he suyh, refused and said some
things to him that were not nice.
Mr. Osbuurns gives his statement of
the "hold up" about as follows: Ho
works as falesman for Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Boot establishment In Blng
hamton. He arrived In this city Thurs
day morning and alter visiting the
trade on the. West Side returned to his
hotel the St. Dennis. About 9 o'clock
he wont out to get a lunch and being a
stranger here, he says, entered the!
White house, a place conducted by Kd
wnrd JIfklns. Mr. Osbourne called for
a hot lunch and for a. few minutes he
sat at a table between two men. These
men, sayu Mrf. Osbourne, expressed
themselves as desirous of eating and
the three were directed by the bar
tender to a rear room. Mr. Osbourne
went back there and found not a hot
lunch but a number of women of ques
tionable appearance. He left the place
and the two acquaintances of the table
accompanied him.
When they reached the corner of Penn
and Spruce, Just a few yards down
Spruce one of the men pushed a revol
ver before his face. The other took
the money. They then ran away.
A Tribune reporter went to the
"White" houc-e last evening to inquire
Into the case. "Bob" Davis, of police
fame, was seated at one table. In that
same back room there were four or five
women with partially filled glasses be
fore them. The bartender was ques
tioned concerning the case. He said:
"Don't know anything about It there's
a lot of people getting too fresh iround
here. These newspaper.-; are too gay:
some one will gat 'soaked' yet, If they
don't be careful."
The White hous? was granted a li
cense last week but in handing down
the license Judge Arohbald warned Pro
prietor Jlfklns that he would have to
conduct a better place.
FAVOR ISSUING BONDS.
Itemed!' Suggested by Finance Com
mittee of Board of Control.
If the present school tax rate of 12
mills Isn't Increased the board of con
trol will be confronted with a trouble
some question of finance. About $90,
000 Is involved in the contractors' pro
posals to erect three new buildings and
one addition, now before the building
committee.
Last night tho building and financs
committees met, the former to consider
the bids and the latter to ponder over
the low elib of finances and suggest a
remedy. Neither committee readied a
conclusion.
Nearly all members ndmlt the neces
sity of the proposed new No.C building
lu the Eighth ward, No. 15 In the Twen
tieth, No. 2S In the Thirteenth und the
addition to No. 2S In the .First. The
schools are now overcrowded.
Bather than Increase the 12-mlll rate,
the finance committee favor an Issue
of bonds to the extent of $100,000. They
argue that the Intel est on the bonds
will, at the present Increase In attend
ance, amount to no more than rent and
that now Is no time to burden tax
payers with an Increased tax.
On Monday the committees will meet
again and probably prepare a report
for that night's stated meeting of the
board.

Read the Really Wonderful Experience of
Rev. Dr. Bailey and His Good Wife, and the
Indorsements of Other Eminent Divines.
Here Is a letter from the castor of
the most Influential church In South
Baltimore, that every truth-seeker
should read carefully.
Every disheartened sick person and
every man or woman who has lost
fnlth In the remedies he or she has
tried because none of them has done
any good every one who is sick
ought to be cheered up and filled with
new hope and determination by the
letter written by Bev. William T. Bail
ey, pastor of the Curtis Bay church,
the most Inlluentlal church in South
Baltimore.
On March 31, 1S90, the Baltimore Sun,
under display headlines, published the
following news of Bev. Mr. Bailey's
aillictlon:
"Bev. Wm. T. Bailey, pastor of the
Curtis Bay Baptist church, was par
alyzed In the tongue while preaching
Sunday night, and lost the power of
speech. The congregation was ut once
dismissed, and Dr. was called. He
said Mr. Bailey was suffering from a
severe attack of nervous prostration
caused by hard study and overwork,
nnd that he must have rest and quiet."
The whole city was shocked. The
papers soon began to record an Im
provement.
On April 13, 189C, tho following open
letter was addressed to the proprie
tors of Palne's celery compound:
South Baltimore, Md., April 13, 1S90.
Messrs. Wells, Blchardson Co.,
Gentleman: I was taken very 111
preaching Easter Sunday night. My
doctor could not help me, so I dis
charged him and began to use Palne's
celery compound with crushing effect.
I will not hesitate to say that It Is the
best medicine In the world. I am,
Fraternally,
William T. Bailey.
Later in the year the proprietors of
this wonderful remedy received still
another letter from Dr Bailey, as fol
lows: Gentlemen: I propose to do what I
can to let people know of your Palne's
celery compound, the medicine that has
done me so much good. I shall In my
own way, In speaking of my rapid and

Baltimore, May IS, 1S90.
Wells, Blchardson & Co.,
Gentlemen: It. Is Impossible for me
to express the emotions of my heart
on the great good Mrs. Bailey and I
have derived from the use of Palne's

We have taken together eight bottles,

Pastor Curtis Bay Baptist Church.
A few weeks ago there was published
a testimonial of the great virtue of
Palne's celery compound from Bev.
Charles L. Thompson, D. D LL.D.,
(ho eminent Presbyterian preacher of
New York City. Bev. D. Meek, editor
of the Central Methodist , recently
wrote an open letter, telling that
Palne's celery compound had worked
a remarkable cure lu his case. And
last month the great temperance evan
gelist, Fiancls Murphy, told the public
how Pulne's celery compound had been
a blessing In his family.
These are u few among thousands.
Every one knows conscientious, char
Ituble persons who are too busy, more
often too procrastinating, to save their
health from going to pieces, nnd find It
easier to help others, than themselves.
Such persons fill up the army of
broken down business men und sickly
woman.
Every one In this spring time needs
to purify the blood and regulate the
nerves. Carry home today not by
and by a bottle of Pulne's celery com
pound. Cure nervousness, neuralgia,
and rhumatlsm this spring. You can
npw put your health on a sound basis
by means of Palne'a celery compound.
Charity should now begin at home.
Attend to your own health and thut of
your family.
Palne's celery compound Is now with
in the reueh of every family where
there Is a member alllleted by any
stomach, liver or kidney trouble.
It cures permanently nnud rapidly.
It must be distinguished from all
other lemedles.
COLLECTOR OF POSTMARKS.
Odd I'nd Taken L'p by n MinneiipolU
Young Woman.
There Is a young lady out In Minne
apolis, Minn., who is engaged In col
lecting the postmarks of ull the uost
ofllces In the United States, and as
there are 70,000 of them, It can be
seen tlint she has a good sized under
taking on hand.
About three months ago she wrote
to Postmaster Vandllng, requesting
him to send her the postmarks of all
the letters that came to him during
the succeeding quarter. Scranton is a
repository for the surplus receipts of
about 1,000 lesser olllces In this part
of the state, the greater number of
which make returns to the Scranton
postmaster every quarter. These re
turns, of course, have the olllce post
marks on the envelopes.
These envelopes were saved for the
last three mouths, and yesterduy Depu
ty Postmaster Ostiums expressed a
package containing envelopes which
bear over COO different postmarks to
the enthusiastic collector In Minne
apolis. Notice.
We are still doing business at the
same old stand whore we have been for
twenty-two years past and most re
spectfully solicit the patronage of the
public as heretofore In awnings, tents,
Hags and all kinds of society goods
nnd decorations.

D1SP0SINQ.0P MAIL BOXES.
Several ARontu Aro Xmv nt Work lu
This City.
For severnl days agents have been
golntr from house to house In this city
disposing of mall Bnrtes, or at least
purporting to do so. They told those
they called on that they were employed
by the United States Standard Letter
Box Supply company, mid agreed for
25 cents to lease a inall box to them
for live years.
They reinforced their argument as
to the necessity of a mall box at ev
ery house by presenting a 'circular
which contained excerpts from tho
postal laws that seem to make It com
pulsory on housekeepers to provide
boxes for the reception of mall mat
ter. The clrcularafso 'contained some
statements about the regulations with
reference to carriers leaving mall mat
ter where .boxes re not provided,
which nre wide of. the truth.
The agents, wherever possible, col
lected 23 cents, the rent for five years,
and promised to btlng the box oround
later. Non'e of the boxes, It appears,
have yet arrived, a'hd some of those
who paid tho L'f cents have been mak
ing Inquiries at the postolllce with
reference to the standing of tho agentu.
They are not known at the nostof
flce. Usually when ngents begin to
canvass a city for the purpose of sell
ing or renting mail boxes they first
endeavor to secure the co-uneintloi of
the local postolllce olllcluls, In the
uresent Instance tho agents, for some
reason or other, did not even ncquutnt
the postolllce oillclals with the fact
that they were In the city.
