11 M- 8 ANU'• SUBURBAN. 1 Highway Robbery-,An Old Man Accosted by Three Villains, Knocked Down and 'Robbed—Escape of the Perpetrators:_ 'The:Police Force Insufficient. One of the most infamous' and dastardly highway robberies occurred last night that we have ever been required to chronicle in this city. William. Wilson,man sixty years of age, clerk and - book-keeper for the firm of 'HartnPee & Co., machinists and lxfiler makers;; was detained at the office of the. Company last night to a later hour than usual, and about 'eight o'clock he closed the office and started home. At the corner of First , street and. Redoubt alley he was ac-1 eosted by three men, one of whom;struck him with a heavy, blunt instrument,' felling him to • the, ground. He_ called for the polide, when he received.! another blow, which rendered him insensible. The villains then., "went went through" him; taking from his pocketd a silver watch and chain, twenty-five dollars in greenbacks, and -a cheek drawn in his favor by Hartnpee & Company,. for one hundred. dollars. • A gentleman residing ' near wherethe robbery occurred, hearing "his cry for help, came to see what was wrong, When he'diScovered three Men run ning away from wherethetioiseproceeded in a hurried manner, and - on going to the spot found Mr Wilscin lying on the ground insensible and bleeding:- profusely. • He summoned assistance and removed him to his residence, and a physician.wa.s sent for Who attended to' his injuries, which are ._.. said tcibe very severe. - - We are only snrprisecl that such occur- rences as thelabove are not more frequent, and unless the authorities take the proper steps to Prevent them, highway robberies , will become as common as assault and batter ies 'are now. There is but one remedy we am see, and that is to increase the number• of policemen. Willi ,the present' limited force therenre but' two allotted to the First ward, and somp.other wards we are inforna ed are still. more meagrely provided for. The object of a city government, like that of all other governments,. is the protection of its inhabitants in all their, rights, both acquired and natural, and When the author ities, having it within their power, fail to do this, the object of the government fails. if they use all the means within their power the fault is not theirs; but if, on the other hand, anything has been left undone that would be a protection to the lives and prop " _erty of the citizens, and by this neglect a citizen suffers either in person or property, those having the power'o protect them and neglecting to do so are certainly censura ble. Fatal,Accidiont on Smitplield greet. about half-past one o'cloCk 'yesterday af , ternoon an accident occui7ed resulting fa tally to 'Nicholas Miller, a young German, who was em' Ployed by Mr. B. Audi as a stone mason. An excavation• for a cellar had been made in rear of 'Acr:Auth's beer _saloon, 'l'Er2 • Smithfield - street, with the in tendon, of building an addition to the house. At the time of the. accident Miller 1 was engaged at 'work on the wall,•when the, I earth from above caved in, burying the un fortunate man beneath it. - Some fifteen minutes elapsed before, he could be taken out, and when removed life was entirely ex _ tinct. - peath apparently resulted from suf focation, as a hasty examination of the body did. not 'reveal bruises serious enough to produce filth effects. Coroner Clawson was summoned and held an inquest, and a verdict of accidental death was rendered. Thea deceased was about twenty-two y-irs of age, unmarried, and came to this county, • 'last 11, from Butler county, since when he has resided with a cousin in Birming haul. He, only went to Work yesterday a.f .ternoon at the place where he met his death. He had applied urgently for the, situation, stating that he had- no money, and should - starve unless he' , got Ixork.• • tt 4 icrother per son was injured. I • Eiplaslon at Freeport. An explosion occurred at an Oil Refinery, at Freeport, Isionday, by which two men were sligh'tly injured; and the works een siderably damaged. The building is of stone, with walls two feet-thick. The crude oil tank stands at a distance of about two htindred feet from the building, and has been: for some, time past kept filled with oil. A pipe lead from it to the re ceiving tank„ just within the building. On Monday evening two'men went into the receiving tank to do'sonae - work to fit the tank for use, preparatory to the speedy get ting of the establishment into operation, taking, with them , a lighted candle. No sooner had they entered than the gas which had accuinulated from the crude ° oil in the other tank ignited, and a tremen dous explosion occurred. The receiving tank was titerally.blown to fragments, and the atone building very considerably -shattered. A largehole was brown through the wall. nearest the exploded tank, and a fragment - of the tank carried some distance through:. it. , The two ..,rnen, strangely enough, not only escaped instant death. bnt were not danuerously injured.' It wil re quire fully a thousand dollars to repair the, I=l - nage. done to the building and apparatus.

Re member the place No. 104 Wood street: • The Russellville, Ky„ flank Rene Ty.. The Naghtille Banner of the 22d contains full details of the daring robbery of Long's bank, at Russellville, Ky. About ten days ago a man calling himself ColbUrn, and claiming to be a cattle dealer, offered to sell to Mr. Long a 730 note of the -denornina- tion of $5OO. As none of the coupons had been cut off, and the stranger, who pretend- eu to be from Louisville, where the notes are worth a premium, offered it at par and allowed,, interest, Mr. Long ' became suss picious and refused to take it. -- On the 18th he returned . again and asked Mr. Long -to, change him a $lOO bill. He was accompa nied by a man of forbidding aspect, and sus pecting the note to be counterfeit, . Mr. Ding •deelined changing . it. On the 20th f about 2 P. Is., as Mr. Long, Mr. Barelay, . clerk in-the bank,.-and Mr. T. H. Shit- - mons, ' a ifarmet. living near . Russellville, were sitting behind the counter; Colburn. andanother man rode up to the docq,. hitched their horses, and entered the bank,' three coinpanions•remaining outside. They , asked for'ehann for a $5O note. -• -Mr. Long pronounced ecounterfeit, .but was, about making a more careful examination, when Colburn drew a revolver, placed its 'muzzle against •his head, and cried out, "Surren der." Mr. Long wheeled around and sprang, toward the door leading into.a rootnin the rear. of the banking office. He hoped thus to make his.exit frgm the building and.give the alarm. He was, however, anticipated by one- of . the robbers, who intercepted him ' at the door mentioned, placed a pistol within: six or eight inches of his head, and fired, without having uttered a word.:- The: ball did no greater Injury than grazing •Mr. Long's scalp about two inches, tearing away the , hair and flesh, but not fractur ing the skull. Mr. Long seized hold of the weappn, and made an effort to wrench ' it from-ifts•• assailant, but the robber. suc ceeded- in regaining possession of his pistol. He immediately commenced to. beat fir.. Long over the head with the butt, and;: I I after a few furiously dealt blows, felled him to the floor. - The latter, however, sprang , to his feet and again get hold of tho pistol, just as the robber was.about to cock it for the purpose of giving .hitn" the finishing touch'. During the scuffle whieh now took. place, Mr. Long managed to reach, the back door of the rear: room. Here lie concentrat ed his almost exhausted strength into a final effort, freed himself from the clutches of the robber, sprang through ( the door and closed it after him.• He then rail around toward the front - part of the building, Shouting for. assistance: - When he reached the street:he found two men sitting on their homes before the entrance of the bank. They were: arm-. ed with Spencer. rifles and pistols, and. were shooting up and down the.street at all chi-, zens who came within range. kA.s .Mr.: Long ran by, .they also, fired. twelve or fifteen slks at hint, but, fortUnately l without Inside the bank, while Mr. Long was struggling with the fellow above mentioned, and before Messrs, Btu-cloy and Simmons could rise from their seats, the latter were confronted by Colburn and his companion• with cocked, revolvers and threats of instant death in case the least showof resistance was made. Neither of the gentlemen were armed and had to accept the situation:with the best grace they could command. • As soon as . Mr. Long made his retreat by the back door his antagonist returned to• the banking office and assisted in the work of plunder. One of the robbers stood guard over Messrs. Bareley and:Simmons, • while Colburn and the • others proceeded to clean out I the establiskffient. They appeared to have an'exact imowledge of its resources. In the cash drawer they found over, nine thousand dollars in currency. From the :vault, the door of which was standing.open, they took several bap of gold' and silver.: This specie consisted principally of dollars, half dollars and quarters, •and , had. been placed in the bank on, special deposit by sev eral of the neighboring farmers. The amount hag not yet been definitely ascer tained; but it will not we understand exceed five thousand dollars. Two robbers kept guard outside while the work of pillaging was going on, and though the alarm had spread, kept the citizens at bay until a Mr. Owens had the coinage to begintring upon them with a f pistol. lie was-seriously but not dangerously Wounded.. Finally, the sentinels became alarmed, and called for their accomplices inside to come out. They quickly complied, bringing With them, sad dlebags crammed with gold and greenbacks. They • were greeted:- with a very ' heavy Volley by . a squad of citizens who were advancing up the street. All were soon in their saddles;: and, 4t a signal from Colburn, the party ashed at full speed out of town by the! Gallatin Pike. Many a leaden missile was sent after 'them, but beyond the report. that one had his arni broken',-there is no ground for sup posing that any - Of the shots took effect, Ten minutes later, some forty citizens mounted on-such animals as they could collect from-, buggies, wagons tind'bitching posts, started'. in hot pursuit. All the advantage, except in point 'of numbers; was with the robbers. They rode splendid - horses, and , were com pletely aimed and equipped , as the most der. mg and itecompliahed'highwayrnan could de sire.
