THE WATCHMAN HELD PRISONER Surprised and Bound and Forced to Open Doors and Remain Silent 'at tne Point of Revolvers Clus to the Robbera Obtained. Ilctwecn 12 anil 1 o'clock this morning four burglars attacked tho watchman at tlio Cam bridge colliery and ransacked thu ollico lu true Western hold-up style, but secured nothing for their paint, anil tho only loss to tho operators is a small sale, Tho watchman is Thomas O Council. Ho was on duty at tho colliery ollico at about 12:30 o'clock this morning when ho saw at a dlstanco a man carrying away a board. In tho darkness ho was only able to discern tho form of a man, Ho left tho ollico and shoutod to tho party to drop tho board, and tho order was obeyed. The picking up of tho board, which was accom panied by considerable noise, was no doubt a ruso to get tho watchman out of tho ollico and ascortain if ho was alono. When tho board was dropped and tho man disappeared tho watchman started back to tho ollico. As he reached tho entrance a man suddenly stepped from tho south sido of tho ollico building and thrust tho muzzle of a revtdver Into the mouth of tho watchman with such force that threo of tho nmn's teeth wero knocked out. Almost at the saino instant tho robber sprang forward and grabbed the watchman at tho throat, forcing him to tho ground. I!y this tlnio tho first robber was joined by three others. They assisted tho watchman to Ins feet and hustled him into tho ollico. There they tied his hands together in front of his body and then forced him into a chair with his face to the wall and his back towards tho safe. Meantime tho robbers frequently warned tho watchman, at tho risk of his lifo, not to attempt to givo an alarm. The muzzle of a revolver was continually held at his head by one of tho robbers. While tho watchman was seated in tho ollico his captors commenced work on tho safe behind his back. They wero unable to work tho combination and took tho watchman to tho blacksmith shop, which is located about 100 feet distant from tho olllce, and compelled the watchman to open the door. Upon entering tho shop they asked the watchman to open tho tool box, but It whs locked and the captive didn't have the key. Tho robbers then broke open tho box and took from it somo chisels, punches aud a slcdgo hammer. While they weio in the shop footsteps wero heard outside. The dour of tho shop had already been closed and tho light carried was extinguished. Tho watch man was forced to sit on tho edgo of tho barrel containing tho water in which tho tools wero tempered and warned not to even murmur, or his life would pay for it. A rovolver was kept clo-.o to his head. Tho watchman obeyed. Thero is a small holo in tho sido of the blacksmith shop through which men working on the night shift at tho colliery put thoir tools when on tho way homo so that they may be sharpened tho next day. Some night men approached tho shop and threw their tools through tho hole with such momentum that somo of them barely missed striking tho flvo silent men, hurried homeward, and ugain tho robbers wero left free to pursue their work. Seeing that tho coast was clear the robbers left tho shop, taking tho watchman with them back to tho ollico. Work was resumed on the safe door. A hole was mado in it near tho combination with tho punches aud slcdgo hammer taken from tho blacksmith shop. When everything was in readiness to blow open tho safe tho watchman was placed In charge of ouo of tho men, who constantly kept a revolver at tho captive's head aud led him to tho Pennsylvania liailroad trestle, several hundred yards northeast of the colliery. It is supposed that tho object of this precaution was that if tho noiso of the explosion should attract any people to tho scene the captor would leavo his pris oner and have a good chance to get away from the scene unobsorved. Footsteps of jieuplo descending the hill towards tho trestle wero heard, ovidently tho footsteps of people on their way to Turkey Iiuu, and tho watch man was hustled over to a phico of seclusion between onaof tho Shenandoah City colliery dirt banks and tho trestlo, The watchman was forced down Into tho dirt so that his body made an impression of somo depth in tho surfaco of tho bank nnd ho was again warned not to attempt giving an alarm and tho cold muzzle of a revolver rubbing against his head and face made him obedient to tho latter. Meanwhile tho threo other robbers pro pared tho charge and fired it. Tho sufo door was blown clean from tho safe and com pletely shattered. Tho cement filling and three layers of steel wero scattered about tho ollico. Tho force of tho explosion was tremendous and it is surprising that the ollico building was not wrecked. One of tho steel layers of the safe door was buried into tho desk on tho opposito sido of tho olllce, a distance of ten feet. It stuck in such a posi tion as to from an extension in front of tho dosk that could bo used for writing upon. Notwithstanding tho force of the explosion no ono was attracted to tho scene. This is accounted for by tho fact that peoplo resid ing in tho vlciulty of tho colliery are used to loud reports of thu kind on account of drunken people frequently discharging io volversuud exploding dynamite when on their woy homo to Turkey Ilun nud Gllbertou late at night. After tho Bafo was ransacked the watchman was taken back to tho ollico and locked in It. Several small fires woro burning on tho lloor, plecos of paper having boen ignited by tho explosion, and as tho robbers were about to lonvo the watchman exclaimed, "You are not going to leave me hero to roast, aroyou? Leave mo tho keys, so that I will have a cliauco for my life." Tho robbera rollectcd a moment and then threw the keys Into tho olllce through a small opening and departod. Tho watchman's hands wero still tied, but as he was otherwise free, ho commenced to stamp out tho small fires. When tho robbers threw In tho keys, they warned the watch man not to leave tho olllce Inside of an hour, or he would bo a dead man. At about 1:30 o'clock, or a few mli'tites after tho robbers left, n Philadelphia & Head ing coal train conductor called at the olllce to get tickets lor lo-idcd coal cars that were to bo taken from tho Cambridge breaker to tho main lino. The watchman had succeeded in opening tho ollico door and explained tho condition of niliilrs to the astounded con ductor, who at once procccdod to untie tho rope that bound tho watchman's hands. At about thosamo tlmo George I.owrey,tlio actor, who is taking a few weeks of recreation at tho homo of his parents at Turkoy linn, hap pened along while on his way from town and ho assisted iu relieving tho watchman. I.owroy then hastened to tho homo of Coun cilman David it. James, tho lusido foreman of the colliery, and after notifying him of tho facts notified tho police, who hurried to tho sceno. Tho robbers had a good start, how ever, and a search was fruitless. Foreman James hurried to the colliory and Superin tendent J. C. McGlnnoss, who resides at Frackvlllo, arrived upon tho sccno at about 3:30 o'clock this morning. Tho robbers wero tracked as far as Malta noy Plane, having gone there on a coal train. All trace of them was lost nt that point and It is bclioved they left that phico on an early morning freight train. Telegrams have been sent east and uest along tho lino of tho P. & 11, railroad nnd tho Coal & Iron police havo every reason to believo that tho robbers will bo captured soon. Two of tho robbers are known, but tho authorities will not divulge their names or descriptions. Two very Im portant witnesses nro already under sur. vcllauco. Tho work of tho robbers was entirely fruitless, as tho safo contained nothing but tho books of tho colliory and a number of cancelled checks and otlicrt-piipcrs of no in trinsic value. Some of the books and papers were found this morning at tho bridge near tho colliery nnd at tho P. & it. crossing near tho limo kiln. A piece of ropp such as was used lu tieiug tho hands of tho watchman was found near tho kiln and this lends to tho supposition that tho robbers proceeded from town to attack the colliery. Thomas O'Conncll, the watchman, is n man 40 years of ago, small in stature and lightly built. Jlo resides nt 023 West I.loycl street. When K'en by a IIukalii reporter this morn ing hesaid another night's experience of tho samo kind would add forty years to his life Tho robbers did not beat him, but his neck is sore from the choking and it is covered with iluger nail scratches. O'Conncll was unablo to Identify any of tho robbers, as they had thtir faces masked with pieces of cloth that reached up to their eyes. Tho robbers said nothing duilng the operations except to ask him to open doors and warn him not to givo an nlatm. llo told them there was no money in tho safo and there was no usa spoiling It, but tbey answered in language of a very disagreeable character and told him to mind his own business, which he was very willing to do if they had given him a chance. It is believed tho robbers supposed that tho money to pay tho employes of tho colliery to-day was in the safo. Ilreiiluiti'H New ICeptnurnut.

According to tho Shamokiu papers, Wal dron, tho horso dealer, had a sale there on Thursday nnd nftcr tho salo politics was tho topic of conversation, when aldron ns tonlshed those near him by saying that ho would bet two thousand dollars that Mc Kinley would bo elected, or any part of it.

Four years ago yes terdny tho greatest pnnulo tho west had over seon passod throuuh tho streets ol ChlciiRO, ns n portion of the celebration ol tho dedication of tho buildings of tho Co lumbian exposition. That parndo mis, however, surpassed yesterday by tho purely partisan mnrch of tho men who uphold tho gold standard in questions of finance nnd In politics. Tho estimates of the dif ferent parties vary widely ns tn tho num ber of men lu Una, but 75,000 Is just hall way between tha number claimed by the Ilcpubllcuns and the count given out by tho national committee hendqunrtors ol tho Itopuhllcnn party.

Kvury street botweon Vnn Huron, on tho south, tho river on tho north, tho lake on tho oust nnd tho river on tho west was nb-olutely froo from nil Impediment to tho mnri'hlng column. Eighteen hundred policemen lined tho route of tho pnnulo nnd thodonsc throng of peoplo who packed tho wulk--WU8 kept firmly back to tho curb. The ontiro street belonged to tho marchers, from first to last. Forflvehoursthopnnuh swept tho streets from curb to curb, well closed up nnd marching rnpldlv. Tho reviewing stand was erected Just in front of tho building of tho Union League club, on Jackson street. Here Jlnrk Hnnna, Sonntor Culbini nnd vnrl ous members of tho committee took tho stand to review tho pantile. At 11 o'clock Jlr.

As tlio col umns cunio up thousands of hats e.uno oft In homago to tho venerable men, nnd nil through tho hours which the parade re quired to pass that point tho cheering was constant. Tho gold standard clubs of the great down town business houses were es pecially enthusiastic as they passed the hotel.

A string of cnrrlages bearing tho white haired members of the old Tlppecnnoo club, composed of men who voted for William Henry Harrison, ovoked loud cheers, ns did n number nl crippled veterans of the war, who bore nbovo their llrst carrlago: "Wo fought with Grant, nnd wo stand with McKin ley." A unique feature of tho parade was the tiso mado by tho long dlstanco telephone to carry tho sound of tho cheers ot the parade to other cities of tho country. Major MoKlnley in his library at Canton heard it, and Mr. Hobart at Hepubllcnn headquarters In New York received the assurances of thu shouts. Tho total number of people who saw the parndo, based upon tho statements ol railroads and street car companies regard ing tho fares collected, was 000,1X10.
