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.

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.
