FOUR MEN HELD UP
ROBBED AND BEATEN
A Brutal Happening in Mayfleld.
The Highway Men Uss a Coupling
Pin as a Weapon One, Thomas
Ruddy, Arrested The Others Skip.
A daring ami successful hold-up Is re
liortc'd from the usually (inlet borough
of Muyfk'Id.
The story Unit Is told by the victim Is
Hint four young- jnen of that place were
nut on a lark on Friday afternoon.
While they were in a restaurant four
Italians entered and In buying drinks
exhibited good-slued bunches of green
backs. The eyes of the four young
men -whose money was played out grew
covetous and as of one thought,
left the house of refreshments and
walking to the vicinity of the Catho
lic cemetcrv awaited the coming of the
quartette of foreigners as they were
aware that the route the flitter would
take led by this lonely spot. An hour
or so of waiting anil their victims were
sighted. The four young men called in
to use a railroad coupling pin. They
soon hart their purpose accomplished
as the foreigners were scared and beat
en into submission. OUe man slylled
out to tile tune of forty-seven dollars
and the aggregate amount secured was
1M10 hundred and twenty dollars.
The robbers then made their escape
and prepared to finish liquidating their
thlist. Tlic foreigners came back to
Mayfleld and laid Information before
Chief of Police Thomas Holleran who
nt once telephoned to this city and ,Ier
wyn notifying the police to keep a
lookout for the four men who were
identified by their victims. One of the
latter came to this city and swore out
warrants for the arrest of the four and
the warrants were placed in the hands
of Constable K. .1. Xeury who went
at once to the scene. He succeeded
in capturing one of the four. Thomas
Ruddy, who was taken to the jail In
this city, The other three made their
escape leaving no clue as to their
whereabouts.
r The men who were held up gave the
names of their assailants as Dennis and
Brian Brady, Thames Jlurtily and
James .Sullivan,
: Buddy was given a hearing before
Alderman .Tones and held in ball Tor
his appearance at court. The ball was
not forthcoming and he was taken to
the county jail yesterday afternoon.
The four Italians presented a bat-
; tered appearance In Alderman Jones'
office, One had suffered a fracture of
.three ribs and Injuries on the head, lie
.wns taken to Emergency hospital, Au
. other had- his face terribly battered.
RQth e.ves were discolored, and the side
(Of his face, around the ear, was badly
gashed. The other escaped with but
.minor bruises as they hurt ran for
safety when lhe chance was offered
them,
The four young men Implicated In the
,un'l'ortunate affair are well known In
. this city. Ituddy, who was taken, has
always enjoyed a good reputation.

WANTS SECRET SESSION.
Estimates Committee Excludes Re
porters from Its Meetings.
Jn the language or Fra Klbertus,
here Is 11 pyschologlcal study .
Tho joint estimates committee of tho
councils of the city of Carbondnle mot
last night to dispose of a task that Is
nf the mosl vital Importance to tho
taxpayers of Carbondale, namely, the
apportioning of the money which they,
the taxpayers, will turn Into the city's
coffers to meet the expenses of run
ning tho city government for another
year, to make necessary improvements
and to meet other matters for the
town's welfare.
Among those present In select coun
cil chninber before the meeting begnn
were the representatives of tho press,
Tho Tribune representative modestly
lining one of tho seats occupied by the
newsgatherers. hike the others, ho
was there to discharge what he re
garded as his duty, to Inform the
leaders of his paper, namely, the tax
payers of Carbondale, on .11 matter of
vital Importance to them, namely, the
manner In which their servants, name
ly, the councilmen, the members of the
estimates committee, proposed to dis
tribute their tlie tax-payers' money,
among the different accounts. It wns
no idle curiosity, no desire to pry Into
business that was no concern of theirs,
that brought the newspaper men there;
It was, as plainly stated before, that
they regarded as their simple duty the
Informing of the public on a subject of
vital Importance.
When the meeting was about to open
a member of the committee quietly,
hut audible enough to reach the re
porters' cars, protested against the
pi f since of the newspaper pion. The
(h.alrman of the meeting then called
the. committee to order, saying, as he
turned to the reporters, "As tills is an
executive session, those who have no
business before the committee may re
tire." The newspaper men, however, dirt not
retire that is not just then. They
had a conviction, whether. a mistaken
one or not, that the chairman's slgnl
l.cant remarks had no significance for
them. They felt that they had some
inisiness' there, but not mat their pres
ence was due to any sblllsh interest.
"When they showed'no heed, the choir
man told them, without any frills.) that
they were not wanted and that' they
m'shU leave as soon as. they could, the
"ooner 'the better.
Then ensued a colloquy hi which the
Tribune man said with equal plainness
and politeness thai he had business
there; that lie was doing what he be
lieved was Ills duty; that he believed it
was the right of the taxpayers to know
what took place at the meeting: it was
their money that was being disposed of
and it was their right to Know of the
process of the disposition. The meet-,
lug was a part of council meeting and
there was no apparent reason for hold
ing a star climber .session. The report
of the committee would be presented
al right, but it was only fair that the
taxpayers be posted beforehand of the
standing of the ordinance, if the com
mittee insisted on the exclusion of the
newspapermen, then the bitter could
leave, but under protest.
There was no answer to the argu
ments of the reporters, which were
cut short by Select Councilman Thomp
son making u motion, seconded by Mr.
Fletcher, that the reporters be exclud
ed. The motion was carried, that is
Thompson and Fletcher voting In Its
favor, the chair, Pugllano and Davis
remimng silent. Tlie uowspuper men
left after protesting and asking that
their protest be made a part of the
record, If such grace be extended them,
if therefore the readers of The Tribune
learn nothing as to the doings of the
estimates committee, they may he sat
isfied that It Is because the members
of the committee saw fit to exclude tho
press, thereby shutting off the publicity
of their transclions,
The committee may or may not bo
within Its rights, but It seems that
It Is a matter for the taxpayers to know
not only how their money is to be dis
posed of, but also to be posted as to the
different processes.
EFFECTS OF THE FLOOD.
The Water IIos Receded, hut the
Signs of Devastation Remain.
The danger of overflowing creeks In
this vicinity Is passed, but tho signs of

It Is not bcenUsc Pyramid Pile Cute
Is ho expensive that many people de
cline to give It it trial, but because they
find It too great it tax on their credulity
to believe that the published letters
bearing testimony to tho merit of this
remedy arc genuine nnd bona fldo; es
pecially to those Who have realized tho
suffering Incident to piles Is It Incredi
ble that anyone who has been uitllcted
twenty-flVo and thirty years with tho
worst forms of protruding and bleeding
lilies should bo cured by the application
of a simple remedy, when their physi
cian has "assured them that tho only
relief Is In a surgical operation, This
Is rightfully viewed with dread by all
those mulcted, ns It meuns at the least
a great shock to tho nervous system,
with more than a possibility of utter
collapse and death; In the majority of
cases, too, there Is a return of the com
plaint, owing to the fact that tho cause
Is not removed.
The proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure
agree to forfeit one thousand dollars to
anyone who will show a single publish
ed testimonial to be not genuine und
unsolicited; this latter feature is most
gratifying, Inasmuch us those letters
are written solely out of gratitude, and
with tho hope that those who are af
flicted as the writers have been may
learn that relief Is at hand, at a com
paratively trifling expense. Pyramid
Pile Cure Is for sale by druggists at
fifty cents a package, or "will be mailed
by the makers to nny address upon re
ceipt of price.
lIr. Wm. LIcktenwnlter, head of the
largest printing house In Canton, Ohio,
says: "It Is with the utmost pleasure
aiui satisfaction that I can say I be
lieve I am cured of protruding und
bleeding piles, after suffering more than
twentyrIIve years. I have been in bed
for two weeks at a time. I have not
suffered in the least for over a year,
and I, used only three fifty cent boxes
of Pyramid Pile Cure. I advise every
person suffering with this distressing
and painful complaint to give this
remedy a trial. I have every conlldonce
in it." Write the Pyramid Drug Co.,

causes and cure of piles.
this morning, travel will be resumed

ELIAS DAY'S TROUBLES.
The Impersonator Gets Lost in the
Small Town of Syracuse.
Sometimes the men who stand bo
fore audiences and amuse them by re
lating the experiences of others figure
in happenings that are even more fun
ny than those with which they con
vulse their listeners. Ellas Day, the
clever Impersonator, who made such a
decided hit in Carbondale a few weeks'
ago, when he appeared in the Smith
Singer course, is in just such a fix now.
Last Thursday he was the star actor
in a comedy of errors that seems as
amusing as any of the good stories thai
he tells so well.
Mr. Day was lost in tlie town of
Syracuse, N. V., on that day, while his
audience waited in vain for htm. Now
if he would onlr tell -the story; in his
own inlinltablo'-way, It would lie well
worth listening to. The Pqst-StnnUnrd,
of Syracuse, makes a wholelot.lot the
happening, 'dressing it up 'under a
double 'column display head. f The
story reads:
it irn'l very often that a full-fledged
entertainment, given by a reputable
organisation, gets lost in Syracuse.
Such, however, was tlie case last night
and Ellas Day, a good-looking young
impersonator, who was to have been
the star performer, tired his legs and
strained his eyes in a live hours'
search for his hull and his audience.
Then he left the city on the' 10,10 train
for Allentown, Pa., where he hopes to
have better luck tonight.
This .Utile comedy of unfortunate
events was not the least bit pleasing
to Mr. Day, at least he declared so
before he departed from the clly.
Neither was It very pleasing to the or
ganization which had billed Mr. Day
to appear, nor to the liiO or :!00 per
sons who had gathered to witness tlie
performance.
Day said last night that he was un
der contract with tlie Brockway Ly
ceum Bureau, of Pittsburg, Pa a
concern which furnishes performers
ffir amateur entertainments, particu
larly entertainments for the benefit of
hospitals and charitable institutions,
He was engaged lo appear In Syracuse
through his bureau.
A mouth ago, Day said, the bureau
received a letter from II. 11. Hancock,
who arranges entertainments in dif
ferent cities on a percentage basis,
asking that Day be assigned to Syra
cuse on tho evening of February 27
last night. The impersonator's fee was
enclosed In the letter.
Afterward Day received a personal
lotter from Mr. Hancock, for whom he
has done considerable work, giving the
address of the hall at which he was to
appear and advising that while he was
In tho city he stop at the Hotel Mowry.
Day came on here yesterday from
Youngstown, Ohio, When he arrived,
e-trly in the afternoon, ho wont to tho
hotel, and later, when he searched his
card case for tlie location of tho hall
and tho name of the organization for
which he wns to appear, he discovered
ho had lost them,
Then tho trouble began, He couldn't
remember tho hall and he couldn't re
member tho organization. Ho searched
through tho city directory and he
went on a wild goose chase up North
Sallua street to a hall, the name of
which ho thought sounded familiar.
When he got there tho place was In
darkness.
Day was told at the Mowry that Mr.
Hancock, who had engaged him, had
left Hi city, probably for Pennsylva
nia. Ho Bent a telegram under "rush"
orders to tho lirockway Lyceum Bu
reau, at Pittsburg, but no reply came.
Then he tried the long distance tele
phone, thinking perhaps ho might be
nblo lo locate Mr. Hancock In Pitts
burg. This fulled and then Mr. Day gave
up tho search. After Mr. Day hud left
the city. It transpired that tho enter
tainment was to have been glvou nt
the AsK-mbly hall In tho University
block, under the auspices of tho Wo
man's Auxiliary of tho V. M, C. A.
No Council Meeting.
There was no meeting of select coun
cil last night. The session guye way
to the inciting of the joint committee
which will fix the estimates of the
city's needs for the coming fiscal year.
