A Reporter of tho Williamsport
'legistcr visited Cook and Cosgrove, two
flhe Welsboro bank robbers, in jail,
and writes of them as follows: Cook
looks to be 25 or SO years old. He is a
finely built man, has mild blue eyes,
light hair and a light moustache. lie
wears his hat on in his cell, and smokes
-ilmnst. nnnRtitnttv. Rp.ini nn tha oust

mrt coiniori to oim. as mere is no dos-
lity of a prisoner's escaping from
that iron-lined dungeon. Cosgrove,
who is about 49 years old, has a cell on
the west side at the main entrance.
His cell is large but dark and gloomy.
The morning was cool, and the
sheriff had a wood fire built in a
mall stove in tho cell at which the
prisioner beguiled himself. Tho light
t from the entry and tbe lire gave one a
good view ot mm as ne steppea to me
door of his cell; Cosgrove an "old
bird." He has a protruding under jaw,
and is restless and wary. He was
asked whether he was from York State,
nod he replied that he was. From
wbat part? and be deolined, saying that
he did not wish to be uncivil; but he
could not answer that. This is sup
posed to be the ring-leader. He has
' employed tho great scoundrel's advo
cate John Graham of New York to
k defend him. This L taken as a signi
ficant fact by those who are "up to
snuff.1' The bank parties have Messrs
Elliott c"; Bosard the leading firm of
Wellsbo'O lawyers and the Hon .
Henry Sherwood. The trial of the
burglars will come off at the November

deposits. $5,000 in money $8,000 in
bonds, and Eugene Robinson's gold
watch has been recovered.
A Valuable Picturj.
We have been presented, at the hands
of Rev. I. Breoneman, with an excel
lent picture copyrighted by S. A. Rote,
of this plaee, and of which the follow
ing, copied from The Lutheran, ii a
faithful description:
Here are nineteen capital likenesses
of the General Council of tho Evangeli
cal Lutheran Church in America,
grouped around a larger centra! figure,
Martin Luther. Tbe outer circle con
tains fourteen, and the inner fife pic
tures. The four at the top are the
Presidents, past and present, of the
General Council. Tho first is a cor
rect likeness of our lamented brother
Rnsslor, first President ot the body,
The second represents the present
President of the New York Ministerium
whom tho printed list nnd number on
the cards calls the second President.
Now as I happened to he present when
that brother was elected, although I
did not vote for him, I am perfectly
sure (he was not tho tecond but tho
third President. Rev. Dr. C. W.
Schaeffcr was the immediate successor
of Rro. Bassler, at tho Pti eburgh con
vention, and the brother who is called
second was really third, and was called
to the chair in Chicago. I think his
friends will prooounce it a good like
ness. Dr. C. W. Scbaeffer looks "as
natural as life," and Dr. Krauth, as it
in the act of observing some brother
trying to state a point of order, or to
point out a nice theological distinction
Dr. Grcenwald comes next, iijthe. outer
circle, and looks like himself. He is
the first, in the circle, that appears in
gown and bands. The well-known, in
tellectual, amiable aud soulful counten
ance of Prof, A. Spaeth, formerly Ger
man Secretary of the L. C coms next,
and under it you find an excellent pic
ture of that earnest worker; Pastor
Khngman, President of the Michigan
Synod. Bro- Wenzel, Cist German Cor
respondent Secretary, comes next, and
this too will give you an excellent idea
of a brother who is to well known on
both sides of tho mountains. Bro.
Mechling stands next, at the bottom of
the sheet, and makes a fine picture,
lie looks as if be was determined to
fight it through on that line, il it takes
all the rest of tho days of his minis
try. President It. Jacggli, ol the
Texas Synod, stands by his side, and
most of the brethern now first make his
acquaintance. Hi looks like an ear
nest worker, and his head seems to
have an ample endowment of brain.
The next, on the left side of tbe circle,
is President J. II. Hunton, of the In.
diana Synod, who also presents himself
in gown and bunds. Above biui stands
President I. Swenson, of the Augustana
Synod, with the clerical bands. Then
wo rise to Bro. Fishburn, Prssident of
Canada Synod, who makes & very good
picture, aud then to Bro. Roth, Presi
dent ol the Pittsburg Synod, the life
of whoee eyes is not brought out in
this picture; and so we have completed
the outer circle. We turn to
the inner circle, or rather part
of a circle, consisting of five, who have
the privilege of standing or hanging
around Luther.
Let us begin on the right, which how
ever is to the left of Luther, and look
ut Bro. Laird, the efficient English
Recording Secretary of tlis 8- C. The
likeness is very satisfactory. Below
him we have Dr. B. M. Schiuucker,
English Corresponding Secretary, who
looks as wo have saeu him, hundreds of
times, when standing io Synod, with
imfiertuiballo composure and watchlul
ness, pausing for a reply, or waiting,
until the gentleman on the other side is
through, to overwhelm in the most
polite, complete and parliamentary way.
We next come to S Gross Fry, the
Treasurer of the S. C. He is the only
layman in the party, but seems perfectly
at home. The easy and pleasant ex
pression on his countenance epcaks en
couragingly ol the financial condition of
the body whose treasury he manages so
well. Rising, to the left, we have Bro.
E. Carlson, Swedi.vh Corresponding Sec
retary who also wears the bauds. We
have often seen a more cheerful expres
sion on his face, but must say that tbe
picture looks like him- The next is a
very good pioture of the Rev. G. W.
Drees, the present Geruiau Recording
Secretary, whose expression is some,
what sterner than usual-
Dr. Martin Luther, in the centre, has
an open book in bis left hand, wtile
his right rests upon his bosom. His
eyes look calmly and trustingly to
heaven, and be seems to say. "Here I
stand; I cannot do otherwise, God help
mo.
Now you know all ubout it, and ii
you want the picture, and to help a
weak Lutheran congregation, send on
the stamps to Bro. Brcnnuman, and he
will send you tho 19 Lutherans, with
the old original Lutheran thrown into
the bargain. A few dollars mor e, and
you can put them all in a good frame of
wood, and you are prepared to treat
them according to their deserts; by
hanging them, in some good place in
your houso.
COAL STRIKE.
New York, October G. A special
dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pa., says
disturbance have occurred at the Hoosao
mines, fifteen miles from the city caused
by the refusal of the Hillside Coal Com
pany to discharge tbe "Boss" of the
colliery, who is a Welshman. Abont
eighty men struck work, and threaten
violence to any parties who take their
places. One man was almost fatally
beaten by the strikers yesterday.
Further troubles are feared to-day.
It is reported that a Boston merchant
who has been in business forty-seven
years never spent a cent in advertising.
He began on a capital of eight hundred
dollars, and by frugality has increased
it to eight hundred and five. He
thinks advertising isn't what it's cracked
op to be.
