Robbery at Inkerman.
Special to tlic Scranton Trihune.
1'lttston, April 20. At nil cully hour
this inmnlnp; four masked men. nour
ishing revolvers and blazing: torches,
entered the house of Michael Hrown, at
Smlthvllle, assaulted hlin. tied him
and robbed the pluce.
Mr. Ktnlth keeps a saloon on the
inuln load at Snilthvlllo, between the
Delaware and Hudson and Lehigh Val
ley trucks. He has no family, and
lives alone, sleeping In a room on tho
second lloor of the building. About 1
ii'clouk this morning he was awakened
by a racket downstairs, like the forc
ing of a door. Arising and hastily
iltesslng. be grabbed a shotgun, In his
room, and stalled to investigate the
dlsttu bance. Upon leaching the head
of the stair, ho was surprised to And
the stairway ablaze with light. At
the foot of the Htalrs, just about to as
cend, weio four men, with handker
chiefs over their faces for masks.
Kach curried a blazing torch in one
hand and a revolver In tho other. In
bis half-awakened condition the sight
almost staggered him. Dazed by the
flaming torches ho failed to instantly
use the shotgun In his hands, nnd the
Intruders, In a noisy manner, quickly
mounted the stairs, and covering their
victim with revolvers, had him com
pletely at their mercy.
Two of the gang stood guard over
lb-own, while tho other two, carrying
lit torches, ransacked the bouse. The
men who remained with Blown asked
for his money and he told them all he
had was $5, which was In the pockets
of his trousers. The men disbelieved
lilm, however, and In hopes of getting
morr money, they beat him with hard
pieces of rubber hose about two feet
long, evidently cut from tho air brakes
of railroad cars. He was also struck
on the head with the butt of a revol
ver, receiving a patnful cut. which bled
profusely.
When the highwaymen were ready to
depart I hey 'led Brown's hands and
feet -with twine found In a closet, and
wire, taken from the pictures on the
walls. The men then departed, talcing
with them o In cash, a gold watch, a
new pair of trousers, and a shot gun.
After the Invaders h,ul disappeared,
Jtrown succeeded in untying the bind
ing about Ills feet and made his way
to a neighbor's house, wheie bis hands
were quickly cut loote.
"Who the robbers were there Is not
the slightest Idea. They spoke good
English, and evld'iitly took care In se
lecting their victim. The torches used
Y-ero made by tyinv? oily pieces of
jiasto nnd lags to the end of sticks.
J hat the building did not take lire Is
surprising. This morning the charred
.remnants of tho touhes weie found on
the bci'room floor and the stairs show
ed sevcsal places where the blazing
torches came in contact with them.
ANOTHKIl HOHBHIiY.
This morning nbout 10 o'clock, while
walking along a roadway through a
woods, leading from Inkerman to the
Vilkes-Barro Traction line, Michael
I ynotl, n traveling salesman in the
employ of M. A. Kolley, the Scranton
cracker dealer, was seized from behind
by tnree men. They searched his cloth
ing and found but J." In cash and sev
" oral checks. They kept tho cash, but
jeplaced the checks.
I,yr.rtt pleaded tho poverty act, say
ing bo cairn' all the way fiom Se: an

got-bak, whereupon the nun returned
"lilnr2.50 and allowed him to depart.

New York. April 20. -The hlock mark't con
tinued unsettled and hesitating today under the
Influence of the uncertaintj surrounding the lion
and bteel Isaues. The undertone was distinctly
firm and the carl.v period of weakness gave way
to a slow and insular upward movement doubt
less due In larjto part to the demand fiom the
short interest to cover. The rates for loans on
stocks this morning on tho floor indicated tint
the spot was laipe. Comparatively quiet of the
iron nnd steel stocks and positive strength at a
number of points piompied the coveriui; ot
(.lwrt-s and encouraged what slight buying for
Ktnial account there was. Uagcr attention was
fired upon Vmerlcan Steel and Wire all today in
view of the session of the companj's executive
committee. The movement of the stock was
feverish, the common nnd preferred even movlmr
in toi'trir) clliections as though to couse a feel
ing of uncertainty over developments in the
(ompin.v. Aside Irom litis confusing manipula
tion dealings in the stock wire apparently late
ly in the hands of the room trailers, who cit cil
iated inanv rumors concerning the executive
committee meeting The ct'ininittce'h action was
kept bcciet until alter tho close of the mail ft.
Willi this disturbing factor kept in the back
gorund, a mimbci of favorable influences were
allowed to have plaj. The Coalers were all
notably sticiig on favorable trade reports, the
lltumluoiis coal as well as the anthracite roids
iliarlng in the movement. The local tmetlnn
stocks and Sugar moved upward-, in a decidedly
iircgular manner and Tin. is and 1 'ail fit, Canada
Southern, New Yoik Central and renns.vlvania
were also points of strength. Thtt good tlop
weather was a sustaining influence with the grain
curving mads, 'lotal sales, JU.S,200 chares. The
bend market was less attive toda and prices
