A. Potter.of Bedford street.Gays-port, the local collector and traveling salesman of the Atlantic Refining company, tells a remarkable story of being waylaid on the Turnpike road, near the Catfish tavern, on Friday night between the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock. Mr. Potter was returning in his conveyance from a collecting tour. Three men participated in this stand and deliver one stopping the horses, the second brandishing a revolver in Mr.

Potter's face, and the third mounting the wagon and relieving him of about $G7 in cash. The men were smooth shaven, and were only-disguised by having their hats pulled down tight over their eyes. After securing the money the thieves permitted Mr. Potter to go home unmolested and unhurt. The tales told by Mr.

Hale and Mr. Potter lead to the belief that a revival of the days of Claude Duval, Dick Turpin and the bold raiders along the King's Highway is imminent in Blair county.

They made their exit through a rear door in the store, -which was easily opened from the inside.

Burglars also paid a visit to the home of Alderman Banks Duncan, of Third avenue, between First and Second streets, on Saturday night, but were scared away before being able to effect an entrance. There were two of them and Mr. Duncan saw them working at a side window, which they were trying to open.

The Blair County Driving association has started a movement to revive meetsMn Altoona during the coming summer. It has been several years since there has been any racing in this vicinity other than at the county fair and the members of the association believe the time is ripe to revive the sport. They will likely be accorded all the assistance possible from those who love and are interested in horse racing. The old Altoona driving park, just south of the cily, has been leased by the new association and it is the intention to put it in first-class condition for racing and the holding of several meets during the summer.

The association, although new, liis a membership of thirty-five and it is expected that this will be doubled before warm weather sets in. At a recent meeting of the association the following officers were elected: President, C. H. Cassiday; secretary and treasurer, D. D.

Irvin stopped off in Altoona and exhibited to his friends here a fine head of a five-pronged buck. The animal weighed 160 pounds when dressed and was cut up and divided among the members of the party. Mr. Irvin says deer are beginning to increase rapidly in Huntingdon county, and if the season is closed for three years at the end of that time these noble animals, if also protected from dogs, will have become very plentiful.

He spoke of this as a great charitable age and said that before Christ came there was no charity in the world, although the ancients were a great and intellectual people. Before the dawn of Christianity there was no charity.

Charity, the great virtue, and civilization, go hand in hand. He spoke of the great charity among women and the resultant good, and told of the great benefit of charity as practiced by the Elks. At the close of the address the chorus sang "Magnificat" in flat, and an oration on "Charity" was delivered by Rev. Ernest Roedel McCauley, pastor of the Grace Reformed church. It was a most instructive and able address.

Rev.
