The tax on oleomargarine goes into the

The tax on tiuplatc was intended to go
into the poek. ts of tinplato makers; but
the inducement docs let appeal to lie

The theory thai the taxing jower of

London Hunt Robbery.
Ijoniion, September 21. The banking
world of this city has just lieen startled
by the announcement that an imjxirt
ant bank robleryhas taken place in this
city. The police and bank otlicials are
trying to keep the matter as quiet as
ossible. that the entire facts in the
case are not obtainable at present.
It is. known, however, that the insti
tution that has suffered is the Ixmdon
and Westminister Hank, an imyiortant
establishment having over fifteen branch
houses in this city.
The money stolen, it would appear,
consisted, of a large parcel of bills re
mitted from country banks to the Ixm
don and Westminister I'ank. Tlie thief
or thieves must have ' watched for a
projier opportunity to accomplish the
robliery and to have gained access to an
apartment near the main entrance to
the bank. This apartment was easv of
access from the street and the parcel of j
bills is supposed to have lieen stolen
while the bank oiTicials were busily en
gaged in another department in going
over the accounts of last week's settle
ment. The official decline to make any
statement for publication as to the actu
al loss incurred by the bank, hut it is
currently reported that the amount
stolen is not less than $7"0,000 and that
it niav amount to as much as $l,2o0.

Automatic Hanging.
Dfsvkr, Sept. 22. On some day this
week W. H. Davis, a colored man, will
suffer the death jH-nalty for the murder
of his motjier, Mrs. Carrie Armshy, and
a lodger at her home named James
Arnold. The douhle murder was com
mitted at Puehlo. In Colorado a crimi
nal when hanged is not launched to his
death through the agent of a human
hand. A small platform is constructed,
which is kept slightly ahove the level of
the door lv means of springs.
Con-j
nected with the platform is a rod, which
runs up nlonj? the side of the huilding
to u jmint where the weight which lifts
the condemned man from the lloor is
suspended. The rod kecj ch)sed a
valve and a vi-ssvl containing fifty pounds
of water. When the condemned steps
on the platform it sinks slightly, lorcing
the rod up, which opens the valve and
lormits th water to run. It take five
niiniites touiity the cask, during which
time the criioinal is Imund. tlie noo?
fastened alxiiit his neck, ami senicts; for
his spiritual welfare are commenced.
Wh i the vessel is omty and the weight
on the catch is lightened, the "H)-Toimd
weight hanging on the outside of the
huilding is tripped, and in the midst of
prayer the condemned man is dangling
in the air, at a time when he leasts ex
jiects it. This contrivance was arranged
I'V a former warden of the jienitenuarv,
who was loath to ass lined the n-sjoi ri

The Mexican Uattle.
IIuowNsviiJ-K, Tex., iSept. '22. It isre
jiortod from up-river points thatGarcia's
force of revolutionists in Mexico is re
ceiving daily reinforcements from this
side of the river. Small parties from
Texas frontier counties are crossing at
different jxiints between here and Lare
do. There is a large element of discon
tented Mexicans in these counties.
Hard times and lack of employment and
the inherent love of anything savoring
of revolution makes them ready recruits.
Garcia is still reported as making toward
the Itio Grande, closely pursued by Mex
ican troojs. The 1'nited States soldiers
stationed on the Texas frontier are all in
the field watching he river crossings.
Fort Urown is occuph-d by a iost sur
geon and a teamster. All others avail
able are out, and they number hardly
more than a corporal's guard.

years eld and the Ucuioni nations are from
