The operator looked up and nearly lest his breath, when be saw standing before him the mea described In the dispatch. He did net reveal the fact of the recogni tion, but merely agreed with the stranger that he waa a "allele 'un." The stranger Inquired the time of the next tram for Atchison, and asked where he could put up for the night The operator directed him te a hotel, where the man took a room without registering, requesting that he be csljed at 6 o'clock In the morning, In time ier uia Aicnisen train. Lecal Police Officers Smith and Summer field, who had also received Instructions from Valley Fall te arrest any suspect, were Informed by the operator or the firesence of the stranger at the hotel. Arm ng themselvea with Winchester rifles they went te the hotel, waited under the " slick un'a" window until 12 o'clock, and then going te the office acquainted the proprie tor with their Intention of arresting his guest A bell boy waa sent te the stranger's room with a message that It waa time te get up te catch the Atchison train. When the stranger descended te the office he waa confronted with the police officers with Winchester rifles pointed squarely at hla breast He never quivered, but looked inquiringly around. "Threw up your hands," Officer Smith said. The stranger seemed te realise his situation then, out Instead of obeying be thrust a hand In clther aide pocket of his overcoat te draw the revolvers which only a few hours before had Intimidated Cashier Cehn, of the Valley Falls bank.

Convicts. The county commissioners te-day re ceived the account of the county of Lan caster with the Eastern penitentiary for the maintenance of convicts kept there during 1889. The account shows that Lan caster county had in that year 42 convicts there, nearly all of whom were there the whole year. The cost te the county for maintenance of theae convicts la 20 cente per day and the bill aa rendered shows that cost of maintenance was $2,538.52. Aa an offset te that the county is credited with the labor of the convicts amounting te fl,413.U, leaving the county te pay $1,125.41, a very small sura, considering, the number of men In that institution. Theso of the convicts who nearly earned their maintenance were: Geerge Heuck, $03.15; Jehn Frankford, $60.00; Richard McNally, $07.22; Ellwood Kurtz. $00.60; Frank Boyd, $03.37 ; Samuel Crulkshank, $02.75, and Israel Northeimer, $60.60. Abe Buzzard earned only'$30.38. A great contrast te the penitentiary bill Is that of the Huntingdon reformatory. That institution charges the county 65 cents per day, for the maintenance of prisoners. In 1889 Lancaster county had nine boys eight months; one, one month; one, six months ; ene, two months, and two, three months, and the bill against the county waa $1,445.95, with an offset of $93.57 earned by the prisenera, leaving the county's bill $1,352.38, or ever two hundred dollars mere than the cost of maintaining 42 prisenera in the Eastern penitentiary. The commissioners have net paid the bill of the reformatory officers, and will net unless compelled, because they believe it te be exorbitant They held that the cost of maintenance should net be any mere than at the Eastern penitentiary.
