Last night a car. which was . ng down from Nuuann. was held up on Queen street. The driver to! ! one of Captain Bower’s patrolmen win- arrived on the seen-' a few minutes after the robbery, that a man h i boarded the car. hold a pistol to his h ad and go-ie through hi> pockets taking therefrom sundry enV) lopes of many colors which contain chang-. atu! a’so sundry coin

with which passengers had remunerj ated the fast and commodious car i service. Pain’s men with the discretion , usually th wn by his class let the man have his way When the man was through he ask d if that was all I the money the driver had to which i the driver answered "yes.” “I thought you always carried $25 with you." i said thfi would-be Pain-killer and . then he depart- d. The only descrip- ■ Don the driver gave of the robber was that he wore a beard. No information was obtained from i the tranu-ar office last night.
