THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM-FIELD, PA., SEPTEMBER 13, 1881.
A Strango Story.
' Are you Dr. Lump, lr 1'
'I am."
The question was asked ami the answer
received by a Mail man one dny lant week.
The reporter had Journeyed over tbe hilts
and date of Wyandotte county to sue Dr.
Lane, and bad fouud bin) at tils residence,
not far from the little trading point known
ai Braman Hilt, seven miles from Wyan
dotte. Dr. Lane bid beeu seen in order
ibat biB personal testimony might be secur
ed In regard to a oertalu case in which be
was nn actor, the details of which are al
most of a supernatural order.
Iu tbe summer of 1HG0 a inau named
Hitch Cbony lived iu Labette county,
near to a little town called Elatou. Elston
was fouuded by a mini bo r of persons wbo,
for the greater part, came from Olatbe.
Tbe new town was settled by Judgo Buris.
Elston is now deserted. The site has been
turned into fields. Soon after the settle
ment a dispute arose us to who possessed
a title to tbe land on which Llstou wag
laid out. The town company claimed that
they owned tbe property, wbile certaiu
persons wbo claimed to be or were con
nected witb tbe original owners opposed
tbe town company. Finally tbo caso was
brought into court. There it was acrimo
niously carried. Mitch Cherry was inter
ested on one aido of the case. Among the
witnesses, whose testimony was of extreme
sruportauca to one sido, was the county sur
veyor, a man named- Davidson.
Davidson was a bachelor. He lived about
two miles ami a balf from Elston. Um
afternoon in summer Davidson was In bis
. field. He saw Cherry approaching. Cherry
came up and called Davidson o the fence.
Davidson obeyed the summons. After
ome conversation Davidson made an ap
pointmeut to meet Cherry in bis (Cherry's)
house on that evening. About tbe hour of
-dusk Davidson entered the bouse. It was
a rough primitive structure. After David
sou had crossed the threshold and bad tbe
door closed on bim all consciousness of
what bad passed vanished from blnu The
next lucid moment that came upon bim
was five mouths afterward on tbo wharf at
San Fiaucisco. IIow be came there be
knows not. lie came to bis senses while
being brought to a police station by a
policeman. Tbe officer bad found David
son sitting or lying on a pile of goods.
Accosting Davidsou to know what be did
there, tbe policeman was surprised to find
that tho man was waudoring, discouuected
replies, indicative of a disordered mental
condition. Then the policeman took tbe
surveyor in charge. It was tbe shock of
arrest that aroused all the latent mental
energy of tbe man. At tho station bouse
Davidson told bis unaccountable story. He
- was supposed to be mentally deranged.
When found Davidson bad no money ou
bis person, and bis clotbes were worn. Ho
communicated witb bis friends iu Labette
county, received money, and returned to
bis old home, where be now is. Mr. David
son' bealtb was permanently impaired by
the experience through which be bad pass
ed, lie converses freely on the matter,
but does not attempt to explain it. Of the
period of time, tbe live months intervening
between the evening ou which be entered
Cherry's bouse aud the day when be was
arrested ia Sau Francisco, be remembers
nothing.
Train Robbery.
Kew Youk, Septembor 0. A daring
iand well planned traiu robbery was per
petrated at daylight this morning on the
Pennsylvania railroad near Hackensack
bridgo, three miles from Jersey City. A
western bound freight train, in chargo of
Conductor James Dochcrty, was boarded
by five tramps at the eastern approach of
the bridge. .The train had stopped at tbe
signal switch before reaching the bridge,
when the robbers sprang into tbe caboose.
A desperate encounter took place. Docb
orty realized tbe situation and resisted the
Attack. He was alone at the time, the two
brakemcn being in the forward part of the
train. The tramps knocked him down aud
slemauded the keys. Tbeso be refused to
give up. He shouted for help, when the
men threatened to kill bim. His son, who
was acting as brakeman, board bis father's
all and went to bis assistance. As the
young man neared the caboose one of tbe
j, robbers told him to stand off, at the same
time iiriug a revolver at the son. Tbe
noise of the fhot brought the other brake
man aud the fireman of tho engine to the
scone. Conductor Docherty was all this
time struggling with the thieves. When
assistance arrived the robbors became
frigbteued and tied. Word was sent to
Jersey City for help, aud a suad of police
men were detailed' ta oapture tho robbers.
At 8 o'clock two of them were arrested iu a
shanty at East Newaik by Policemau
Speer and Detective Christraan of the rail
.way company. Their names are Charles
Hendricks and James McGuhe, of 213
East Eighteenth street, this city. Youug
Docherty was dangerously wounded in the
Iiip joint. He was taken on tbe train to St.
Kiohael's hospital, Kewask, where be is
now lying in a very low condition. Doteo
tives and policeman are scouring tbe mead
ows in search of tbe other robbers.
EMTk gentleman, bis wire and son left
their borne iu a carriage, in Michigan, on
the 10th day of May to visit friends in Pat
terson, N. J. Tbey were twenty-oue days
in reaching Dorgen County, stopping at
hotels over night after each day's journey.
They will soon start homeward,' changing
their route, however, so as to get all tbe
variety possible.
RTEdgar ,T. Page, Eq., Druggist,
writes us from Chlcopee Fails, that Mr.
Albert (Juenther, nndor Wilds Hotel lias
used that remarkable remedy, St. Jacobs
Oil, for a severe case of rheumatism and it
cured him, as if by magic. He also used It
with great success among bis horses, iu

The Cyclopaedia War.
Knowledge, large type edition, In 15 larKe octavo volumes, containing 10 per cent more
matter than Ap,,lcton's Cyclopedia, at less than one-fifth Its cost, and ao per cent more
than lohnson s Cyclopa:dia, at a little more than one-fourth its cost.
Chambers s Encyclopaedia, which forms !the basis of the Library of Universal Knowl
edKe (the last London edition of 1880 being reprinted verbatim as a portion of Us con
tents), is he laborious product f ' . of the ripest British and Euro
pean scholarship. It has devel- f QT Q f opcd thr h a centu "J"
clopBdia making; Its various " WfcVl J editionshavingbeenmany imes
revised In successive years, t.Il It has come to be universally recognized, by those com
petent to judge u standing at the very front of great aggregations of knowledge, and
better adapted than any other CycIopa;dia for popular use. It contains such full and
important information as the ordinary reader, or the careful student, Is likely to seek
upon about 25,000 subjects In every department of human knowledge. Chambers'
Encyclopedia, however, is a foreign production, edited and published for a foreign
market and could not be ex- p m , pccted to give as much promi
nence to American topics s hAJ I "J f American readers might de
sire. To supply these and Wl MW other deficiencies a large corps
of American editors and writers have added Important articles upon about 15,000 topics
covering the entire field of human knowledge, bringing the whole number of titles under
onealphabeticalarrangcmenttonbout4o,ooo. Thusthe workis thoroughly Americanized
nnd the Library of Universal Knowledge becomes at once the latest and most complete
Encyclop.-edia in the field, at a mere fraction of the coot cf any similar Work which has
preceded it.
P!aa of the J5 volumes, complete, In extra cloth binding, 15.00. In half
I 1 1 C? Russia, sprinkled edges, $20.00. In half Russia, gilt top, $22.50. In full
library sheep, marbled edges, $25.00.
t .I!ile,SJlP1Cru tive ,Valu? ,a.nU i,mPorta'1ce of this great Encyclopedia lies especially In the
fact that it s brought within the reach of every one who aspires after knowledge and
i re,TM y a,I.'bra; .wfl . ry of universal knowl
edge It brings a liberal N?eVOlLltBOH! Nation easily within
the reach even of every IKVVyiUUUIl plowboy of the country
and apprentice boy of the city. Every farmer and ever mechanic In the land owes It to
himjclf and to his children that such a Cyclopedia shall henceforward form a part of the
outtit of his home. To the professional man, and every person of intelligence in everv '
walk of life, a Cyclopedia is a nrcefsily. '
Of course the old and wealthy publishers who have grown rich (it Is said that the
Appletons have made a profit of nearly two million dollars on their Cyclopedia) from the
sale of their high-priced publications are not pleased that their monopolies are broken and
their power overthrown. Of course the book agents and booksellers who have been used
to gelling from 40 to 60 per cent commission for selling these high-priced books are

though those who are not short-sighted discover that their own Interests, after all are
dentical with the interests of the people, and their real profits, in the end, are increased,
by the immense sales which result from meeting the people's wants. The majority of
booksellers, however, are better pleased to slamler than to sell this and our numerous other
standard and incomparably low-priced publications. But the Literary Revolution has
always looked to the people, in whose Interests it is, for its patronage, and it has never
