ROBBERY AT EDGEWORTH.
Two Allegheny Youths Use a Tomahawk in their Vain Search for
Valuables.
Gharles Foster, of 320 Robinson
street, and Gharles Grumley, of 12
"Post Alley," Allegheny, were arrested by Ghief of Police Foulks
and Officer Golden on Thursday
evening for house-breaking.
They were found inside the residence of Mrs. Patterson, in Nursery lane, Edgeworth, by some
neighbor who notified the police,
who immediately went to the house
and found everything in confusion,
the house being ransacked from
top to cellar.
The young robbers gained entrance by a window in the side of
the house; but they were unable to
get anything from the inside. It
seems their chief object was silverware, and with this object in view
completely demolished an expansive
chiffonier by chopping the locks of
the drawers with an old Indian
tomahawk, (a relic of the "house)
also throwing all the linen and
papers they found on the floor and
demolishing several trunks containing wearing apparel, on the
second floor of the dwelling. Upon
a search of the entire house the
young robbers were found in the
cellar and promptly gave themselves up to the police.
Both of the young culprits are
eighteen years of age, and are
members of very respectable families. They received their sentence
before Squire Buckley on Thursday evening.

ALMOST SUFFOCATED.
A Prominent Citizen of Sewickley
Has a Peculiar Mishap   !

ON THE BRIDGE AT THE STATION.
A prominent citizen of this place who
makes daily trips to the city on business,
met with a peculiar mishap early this
week while crossing the "overhead tunnel" at the station. The fact that he is a
strong, vigorous man is all that saved him
from suffocation.
The gentleman referred to was about
the center of the bridge when a freight
engine, moving very slowly, and puffing
very vigorously, shot such a volume of
sulphur and smoke up into the structure
that'he was completely enveloped, and
strangled. Being momentarily dazed,
and unable so see, as the windows were
all closed and the sulphur and smoke
could not escape, but hung in a heavy
pall, it was indeed a fortunate escape.
The reader Gan draw his-own conclusions as to the result had the pedestrian
been a woman or child.
They Excused Him.
On Tuesday afternoon of- this
week, Mr. Samuel Perry of the
grocery firm of Watson, Perry &
.Co., was noticed to be somewhat
flurried and confused. He is accused of dumping a scoop of sugar
in the salt barrel, and mixing the
lima beans and almonds, and it was
only when he was in the act of
running table syrup into an oil can
that Mr. Watson and the attaches
of the store decided it was time to
make an investigatidn. The investigation followed, but ended suddenly as it developed the fact that
the great white stork had been
hovering over .the Perry home and
that his estimable wife had presented him with a little daughter,
and that mother and baby were doing nicely. Congratulations followed and they are still coming in.
