WHITE CHRISTMAS
The six-inch snow catne as a sur
prise on Christmas. It imparted an
old-fashioned and seasonable aspect
and added not a little to the pleasure
of the day.
The trolley cars, although slightly
delayed, were able to handle traffic
without inconveniencing the public
very much.
It was not until Sunday that real
deprivation was experienced. This
section of the State seemed entirely
I isolated by the snow and while wait
j ing for the mail and newspapers that
came not people could only conjecture
as to tlio depth of snow and the ex
treme conditions which seemed to be
holding up traffic.
Casket and Corpse in Creek.
Coatcsville, Dec. Sit —Conveying the
remains of a young woman to the rail
road station in Christiana to be ship
ped to Baltimore, yesterday afternoon,
two horses attached to a hearse ran
away, the driver lost control of theui,
and the vehicle was thrown into a
stream near the Octorar creek. The
hearse and corpse were removed from
the creek and taken hack to an under
taker.
Orchard 011 Siita Reservation.
The Imiixti'i forestry commission is
making arrangements to plant a large
orchard on the state reservation, nine
miles south of Scottsburg. The com
mission heretofore lias Confined its at
tention to the cultivation and produc
tion of cu!.v the valuable woods for
use In cro:-s:ies. cabinet work and
buildlug. The new scheme will be a
means of testing the hardihood of the
various varieties of fruit trees, and It
will also show whether the knobs cau
be used to advantage in the production
of fruit.
Naw Cod Bank.
A new "cod bank" in the gulf of St
Lawrence, oil" the west coast of New
foundland. has been discovered by the
Canadian government survey ship 1311-
nor. The new batik is situated about
twenty-five miles northwest from Point
Ricbe (the uorthwest point of Ingor
nnchoix bay) and Is reported to be
about twenty-eight miles long and ten
to twelve miles wide. The least depth
of water over the bank is said to be
about eighteen fathoms. Cod are re
ported to be in abundance.
Paris Apaches' Trained Dogs.
The newest pest of the Paris subur
ban districts is the "Apache dog,"
which is taught by its masters to
jnmp at lonely pedestrians and bite
them while the hoollgah rifles the vic
tim's pockets. It appears that, taking
a hint from the police methods, the
Apaches have recently trniued several
animals of the same breed as the po
lice dogs to attack policemen and oth
ers.

CRACKSMEN
AT WORK
The office of the Welliver Hardware
company was the scene of a daring safe
robbery Thursday morning. Tlio cracks
men after successfully opening the
safe got away with booty representing
in cash checks and notes, over one
thousand dollars.
The offices are in the eastern end of
the big warehouse situated on Church
street at the D. L. & W. railroad. The
safe crackers showed considerable
familiarity with the premises. They
gained admittance by forcing open a
window on the second story at the
roar of the building. To reacli the
window they climbed to the roof of
the long ouo-story annex built at the
rear of the warehouse proper. Thurs
day morning a short ladder,brought to
the spot by the burglars, was found ly
ing under the platform at tlio door of
the annex, where goods are loaded and
unloaded. This ladder had been utiliz
ed by the robbers in getting to the top
of the building. Marks of their feet
on the tin roofing could be detected,
where they had made their way along
to tlio rear window of the warehouse
proper. On the window frame may be
seen the marks of a jimmy that had
been used to good elt'eet, the lower
sash having been forced upward un
til the patent fastening gave way.
The robbery was committed about
three o'clock Thursday morning. At
that hour people in the immediate vic
| iuity were aroused by a loud report.
Tim noise was attributed to an explo
siou of iron in the Danville rolling
mill and no alarm resulted. It remain
ed for George Gross to literally catch
j the robbers red-hamled and to report
| the affair in such good time that the
j officers were enabled to get on the
trail of the cracksmen before they had
escaped very long.
Mr. Gross, who was working on
night turn at the Danville rolling
mill, was returning to his home about
3:20 o'clock Thursday morning and
had reached a point on the D. L. &
\V. track just opposite the large ware
house when he was surprised to see
two men leap to the ground from the
large side door, which was wide open.
A third man suddenly materialized,
stepping between the two men and
Mr. Gross, not more than four feet
from the latter. Had there been any
doubt as to the character of the men
it would have been dispelled as they
jumped to the ground by the tell-tale
clink of coin, which came from the in
side of a box that one of them held
under his arm.
Mr. Gross believing that prudence
was the better part of valor did not
tarry to interview the men, but got
down town quickly as possible, where
lie related what had occurred to Night
Watchman Lewis Byerly and W. E.
Young,after which lie called upChief
of-Police Miucemoyer. Lewis Byerly
called out Officer Voris, while Night
Watchman Young aroused W. W. Wel
liver, member of the lirm that had
been robbed.
When Mr. Welliver entered the
offices of the company the rooms were
still full of smoke. The cracksmen had
done their work well, demonstrating
that they were no novices. One of the
double doors of the safe was shattered
to pieces, the interior being fully ex
posed to view. The plan adopted by
the cracksmen was to break off the
combination and also the knob or
handle of the door. Through the small
round aperture produced nitro-glycer
ine or some other high explosive was
poured,the joints having been careful
ly closed with soap.
The office presented a woeful ap
pearance. Fragments of the safe door,
lay scattered about. The walls ami
furniture were bespattered with soap,
which was shot 111 all directions when
the explosion occurred.
The safe was entirely rifled of its
contents. The drawers and the frame
that supported them are badly shatter
ed and splintered. Tlio covers of sev
eral of the books are mutilated al
though the leaves are intaot.
The money drawer contained less
than twenty-five dollars in cash and
this is all the safe blowers secured
that will be of any value to them. The
safe contained notes and checks
amounting to nearly or quite a thou
sand dollars, all of which were carri
ed off. That the robbers will be able
to realize anything 011 the notes and
checks stolen is not at all probable al
though the loss of the paper will be
felt by the Welliver Hardware com
pany, which will be put to endless
trouble in securing duplicates.
As described by George Gross the
three men were of unequal height,one
bieng a rather portly fellow. The tall
est wore a long overcoat.

effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled togo often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
immediate effect of Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest be
cause of its remarkable «
health restoring prop
