ROBBERS The Edward Welch Residence at Brownsville Robbed, THE ROBBERS WERE BOLD They Overhauled livery Aptrtment In the IMacn With Apparent LHmith An Un Hiircepafiil Attempt Mario at the Home of )mmm Irulu. Unknown burglars made bold raid on the hotel and resldonco ot Edward Welch in Brownsville on Monday night and secured booty, but failed in an attempt on the homo of James Irwin, Inside foreman at Packer No. 3 colliery, or at least, failed to secure anything. In regard to tho Welch robbery it Is hard to say how successful tho burglars ncro. The prevailing report is that $2,000 in cash was taken, but when asked whit his loss was Mr. Welch dcelinod to say anything further than it only consisted of soruo loose chango that was lying ahout tho houso, so far as ho can tell at the present time. Mr. Welch says tho first dlscovory of tho robbery was made by his wife. When sho awoke at 5 o'clock yesterday morning she noticed that the small alarm clock was not where sho placed it the night before, ou a child's savings bank resting on a dressing cafe In the bedroom. Mrs. Welch's suspicions wero aroused and she awakened her husband. A briof Investi gation showed that the house hadbeon vldted by burglars during the night. The oxeite. mont at tho tlino sustained Mr. and Mre. Welsh, but shortly after they arose thev were seized with vomiting spells. At about tho sumo time the four children, two boys and two girls, wero attacked and for a while tho whole family was vomiting simul taneously, but tho sickness soon vanished and iu a few hours the members of tho house hold were enjoying their usual good health. Mr. Welch says that from tho odor in tho houso ho believes that when the burglars were ranaackiue the houso the whole family was stnpefied by sulphnrused in some form by the burglars. Ho does not think it was chloroform. When tho visitors left the house thev lefc nine doors open, so that there was ample draft through tho hnoso and that helped to clear away tho obnoxious furnes and revive the family. It looked as if the doors had nron lcrropen tor tint purpose., -cl Lvery drawer of the dressing case ifrthe sleeping apartment of Mr and Mrs Welch was found open and clothing was scattered over the Soar. The object of the burglars was clearly to obtain money onlv. Thev took what clinnm was in Mr. Wolch's trousers and tho child's saving bank. No clothing was mlsilng. All of the six drawers of a sewing machine in the liHsenient weie found open and tho money drawer of the bar room was found empty on the counter. Stumps of cigars were fouud standing on their ends in various parti of tho home, showing that the burglars indulged in a few luxuries during their rummaging. The building is a peculiarly constructed oneanu inerotoro lias many doors. Evory one of these wero onen. When tho family retired Monday night, the uoor ai win loot oi the stairway leading from the sitting room of tho dwelling to the iImk. iug apartment abovo was locked and the key inuru upstairs, inis uoor was opened with the aid of a screw driver. Tho burglars oiTectcd their first entrance to the place by forcing one of tho windows of tho sitting room at tho roar of tho bar room, inis window is twelve feet above the ground and was reached with the aid of a step-ladder. Mr. Welch says attempts were made twice In one night to rob bis place u short time sgo ana eacn lime ne nreu siiots at Heel tig men. Mr. Welch did not go to bed that night, but remained on guard until morning. At the houso of James Irwin the famllv was found In a more happy mood than tho teicn lamuy whs lounti, .Mrs. irwin said the burglars rut out a pane of glass from the kitchen window and then removed a stick on the inside that was holdingdown tho sash. mere were evidences that the burglars had been in the kitchon, hut they had not visited any other part of the houso and took nothing away wun mom, ThiB Is explained by tho statement of Mr. irwin'ssou, who says that when he entered the front door of the house at 12 o'clock Monday niuht he hoard the noise of u r.loslnir door at the rear, bur paid no attention to it anil went upstairs to bed. It is supposed the burelars were friirhlnned away by tho son's entrance and uroferred robbing the Welch house to revisiting the jrwin property. Notice.

A Vale i Ine. A cruel joke was played upone one of tho employes at the l.ohlgh Valley freight depot this morning, lne emp oye inquired wn..t tho two small kegs conta nid and tho owner told him that they wero filled with choico wine. At the same time he tajipcd onoof the kegs and gave the employes a good draught of it. Shortly aftor a gentleman, supposed to have been a co consolratur of tho other mm employed about the dojiot, told tho employ of hat tho liquid theageut had given was nothing less than embalming fluid rank poison. The young man turned pile when told this and apjiealed to his fi How workers for relief. They all suggcFtcd antidotes of various kinds, lint the luckless eniployo only adopted two Qj them. Ho swallowed 4 "quautit.- 0r 6ait water and chevml and swallow.d scvoral pieces of tobdcco. Ills stomach is not 11 weak one, by Hny means, and it was nectssary to reieat the violent doses several times before the desireii effect was produced. Hut when that poiut was reached there was an awful iek young man btandiug 011 tho rear platform of the freight depot. Alter ho had become so weak that he could baldly walk, after trying to eject the supposed jioison, his follow cm -plnyes assured him he was all right, tin tho liquid ho drank was really wine.
