THE END DRAWN NEAR.
The armistice, Kir three weeks which has
been signed by:the Geiman and French lenders
at Paris Marks the near approach of the end of
the European war. The beginning of that
Cud was the surrender of ISlneMahon's army
and of Louis Napoleon at Sedan, and what a
world of suffering and loss of life would have
been escaped. had France been able and will-.
Ing to,see In that surrender a sure indication
fif what must inevitably follow the continuance
of the war. The loss of men upon both sides
since the war commenced will amount to fully
half a million, and neither France. nor Ger
many will recover from the effects of carrying
on a struggle which has strained every nerve
to the utmost until after the lapse of several
years. War Is a terribly destructive agent,
and when two great nations concentrate their
every energy In'crippling and weakening one
another all the employments and arts of pence
suffer, and debts are piled up whose payment
will tax the productive energies of generations.
The capitulation of Parts will be received
everywhere with feelings of congratulation
and joy, not because it marks the complete
humiliation of so brave and determined a peo
ple ns the French have proved themselves
to be within the past few months,
but rather because it is the forerunner
of peace. We can imagine semething of the
delight with which Emperor brief
and concise 'dispatch to the Empress of Ger
many was received at Berlin on Sunday, .and
the whole world will fervently 'join with the
Emperor in his wish that peace may soon fol
low. Says the dispatch : Last night MI
armistice for three weeks was signed. The
Regulars and Mobiles are to be kr pt in Paris
as prisoners of war. The National Guard
will undertake the maintenance of order. We
occupy all the forts. Paris remains invested,
but will be allowed to revictual ns soon as
arms are surrendered. The National Assem
bly Is to be summoned to meet at Bordeaux
In a fortnight.• All the armies In "the field
will retails their respective positions, the
ground between opposing lines to be neutral.
This is the reward of patriotism, heroism, and
great' sacrifices. Munk God for this fresh
mercy ! !tiny peace soon follow." This dis.
patch Is deserving of commendntion for its
freedom front any offensive boasting, and we
can . but fed that France will be much more
kindly and mercifully treated by the victorious
William titan Germany would have been by
Louis Napoleon led the French armies prose-
cuted their march to Berlin and secured
the capitulation of the Prussian capital.
-- trermany call afford to he generous in the
final settlement of the terms of pence, nod WO
believe that that generosity will he shown in
making security for the future the main fen
lure of the negotiations. The war has been a
fearfully expensive one to Germany, and It
is due to the German . people, whose patri.
otism and self-sacrifice have prosecuted the
war to a successful issue, that there should be
full guarantees for it peaceful future. The
reflections of the ex-Emperor of Primer, the
man whose reckWss ambition precipitated the.
War which has resulted sn disastrously to the
country which he professed to love so well,
can hardly be very pleasant as he learns that
Paris has capitulated, for the war which was
started to uphold and perpetuate the Napo
leonic dynasty has resulted in its complete
downfall. The Prance of the future will be
freed from the crushing nod demoralizing tyr
anny of the Napoleons, anti although the war
has humilated.France almest to the last de
gree there will yet he hope and promise for
her in her freedom front the Imperial Napol
eonic rule.

The bill which has been passed by the 'louse
of Representatives at Washingtott to enable
honorably discharged soldiers and sailors, or
their widows and orphan children, to acquire
homesteads on the public lands ()I' the United
States is a very important measure, end serves
as a practical and direct refutation of the oft
repeated saying that republics are ungrateful.
The bill provides for homesteads of no hun
dred and sixty acres for any one who received
au honorable discharge from the army or navy
after nimly dap) of actual service during the
late wur, and in cases of the death ,if the per
sons who would thus be entitled to the land
their widows or minor orphan children are to
receive the full benefit of the net. The bill
scents to have conmended itself especially to
the members of the llouse,hir there woe only
two votes against it to one hundred and eighty
four in its favor. The negative votes were
cast by Messrs. Gibson of Virginia and Smith
of Oregon, both of them Democrats. It was
urged in. opposition to the bill while its pas
sags was pending that the idled of it would be
to benefit land speculators rather than the sol
diers, but Gen. Stoughton of Wisconsin, Who
introduced the bill, defended it from that Ito-
potation, and if the bill really serves as a ben

and to their heirs there can he no valid olijec.

bill seem to have been either convinced or

Is certainly to be deprecated, for, vast as is
our public domain, we have no land to waste.
lint the Government can ulford to begenerous

of civilization in settling hitherto unoccupied
regions, and certainly no plass of men has' a

defending the existence of the nation from the
attacks of red handed traitors.
MINORITY REPRESENTATipN.
The State Secatc has passed Mr. Buckalew's
bill for allowing cumulative voting, or minor
ity representation, in the election of school
directors. The bill provides that whenever
two or more directors are to be chosen in a
district for the attune term of service each voter
may give all his votes to any one of the candi
dates, or distribute them among the different
candidates as he pleases. In case three direc
tors are to he chosen for one, two or three
years each, each voter is entitled to three votes,
of course, and he may give those three votes
to one candidate, give two to one and one to
another, or one to each of the three. Mr.
Buckalew'S Idea in introducing this measure
Is to familiarize the people with the practical
workings of the minority representation prin
ciple, and it argues well for the confidence the
friends of the system Lave in it that they are
so active in endeavoring to have it practically
tried. There is no so good test for any theory
as actual practice, and we Lope that the House
will concur with the Senate in the passage of
this WI. The vote on the final passage of the
bill in the Senate was twenty-three yeas to
four nays. Of those voting in the affirmative
twelve were Republican's and eleven were
Democrats, and the fonr negative votes were
all from the Democratic side, one of them be
ing thrown by Mr. Albright of this city.
To an address from the Bristol climber of
Commerce, Mr. Gladstone lately replied that
Her Majesty's Government had done every-.
thing it could to hasten a setthment of the
Alabama Claims, and that it was disposed to
continttatos6 efforts In the future, believing
,that the'long and unsettled controversy nese
source of disadvantage to both the United
ittatei and England.

TINE COAL SUSPENSION.
The suspension of labor In the Annuli Cite
coal regions of this State still continues, and
there is not a business interest in' the whole
Commonwealth which is not today more or
Ices directly affected by the stoppage of the col
lieries. Particularly is this so lathe Lehigh-Val.
ley,and the longer the suspension continues the
more serious and disastrous will be Its effects
fcctsThe Iron Companies are severely crippled
in their operations at the different Blast Fur.
noses in the Valley by thesscarcity of coahand
should there not be a tolerably speedy resump
lion sonic of the Furnaces will be compelled
to "bloiv out" and suspend work altogether.
Indeed,the work of " blowing out" has already
been commenced in several cases, and if the
-stispenshiiiVnitiuties two or three weeks longer
in the Lehigh coal region there will be but few
Furnaces in operation throughout the Valley.
And when once the Furnaces in thIS resion
are blown out they will be likely to remain
quiet for sonic time, fur there is not at present
margin enough for profit in the manufacture
of pig iron to cause the iron masters to care
much whether they continue in blast or not.
The profits of the pig iron manufacturers in
this county were small in 1870, and as is well
known, the tatiff is less favorable to them now
by two dollars per ton than it was last year.
When there is added to the disadvantages of
a low tariff and sharp British competition the
further trouble arising from the frequent and
long continued suspensions in the coal regions,
it will readily be seen that the iron manufac
turers have serious difficulties to contend with.
We fear that these difficulties are destined to
materially cripple the iron business in the Le.
high Valley, and with the crippling of the
iron business there would be a prostration of
every other industrial and business interest in
this vicinity, which is very unpleasant to con
template. We already know from personal
conversation with some of our best informed
and most successful iron masters that the com
parative advantages of other localities for
carrying on the manufacture of iron ace being
carefully and earnestly canvassed, and we
very much fear that the inevitable result of a
ow tariff and the frequent and prolonged sus
pensions of labor at the coal mines will be to
drive the iron business sway j from the Lehigh
Should this be the result the cool
operators and miners will seriously suffer in
turn,, for there arelmo better customers of the
coal operators in the Lehigh nod Hazleton
regions than the several Iron Companies In
the Lehigh Valley. They use hundreds of
thousands of tons of coal annually, and the
cash monthly payment of the bills contracted
for supplying the numerous Blast Furnaces , is
no small advantage to the coal oporaii.irs.
Should that source of constant demand and
reliable income lie cut off it would make
great difference with those %rho mine coal, and
hope that the coal miners will exercise a
little rrason and common sense in this [natter
and not persist in "killing the goose that lays
the golden eggs." It. is useless for the men
who mine coal by the ear to undertake do
tyrannize over every industrial interest in a
State like Pennsylvania, and the more they
try to practice their tactics of forc:, and rio•
;mice the mire they arc damaging their own
future. There are ups and downs in every
business, and the coal miners must be willing
to take things as they are, and not expect that
they can make everything else bend to their
wishes. One consequence of the periodical
difficulties with labor in the anthracite regions
has been to greatly increase the production in
the hittuninons regions, and the thud result
❑ill he that every interest which can emanci
i pate itself from a dependence upon the anthra
cite coal regions will proceed to do g.O. the

right way, lint we should be glad to have them
open their eyes to the natural effect of their
action before thud result has lien reached.
We do not want to see the business interests

or forced into suspension and prostration, and
we are sorry to see men so blind to their own
hest interests as to pursue (It' course which
the coal miners in this State are now pursu

NATIONAL ECONOM V
The continued decrease of the principal of
the white debt is enll of the most convincing
practical arguments s‘hich could be advanced
In Myer of the Grant administration. The
people cid thinly appreciate economy in the
management or the ulfairs of the nation, and
that economy i, one of the cardinal principles
hich govern the policy of the present ndmiit
idration is shown by the monthly statements
in regard to the public debt. The decrease
of debt daring January was $4,040,9E34, and
the total decrease, since March last has been
$110,301,6;0. This is a very handsome re•
duction, and it is especially so when it is con
sidered In connection with the fact that tux.
Mimi has been very materially reduced during
the past year. It requires careful manage
ment to reduce the debt principal and at the
same time diminish the burdens of taxation,
and we count it as one of the special popular
features of the policy of the present adthinla-.
(ration that this bits been done. From theday
of President Grant's Inauguration there has
been a gradual wearing away of the debt bur
den which was forced upon the country by
the trailers who sought to destroy the Gov
ernment, and the people will be sure to re
on tnber this and to give the Republican party
credit tor this action on the purl of the Repub•
Dean administration, No administration since
the formation of the Government has had a
better ri c ird upon the matter of national econ.
omy than the administration now in power,
and an administration which carefully . consults
the heat interests of the people of the whole
country will not. fail to receive from that Iwo.

MISTAKEN POLICY
' , Vile General Council of the Miners' Union
held a meeting at Pittston last week to con
sider the question of resuming work. The
meeting was a private one, but it is under
stood that no steps were taken pointing to
-speedy resumption of labor. It Is also stated
that a motion made at this meeting to allow
the Blast Furnaces along the Lehigh to obtain
front the mines the coal necessary to keep
their Works in operation was voted down by
something more than a majority vote. This
Is an important practical matter, and if the
Iron Companies in the Lehigh Valley arc to
be subject to the rule of tile Miners' Union
there is a tiew aspect givendo the iron trade
which cannot fail to affect it adversely. We
have already alluded to the importance to the
coal operators of the custom of the Iron Com
panies, and have expressed our fears that the
persistent carrying out of the policy which has
been inaugurated in the coal regions will
prove seriously detrimental to the material
and business interests of this Valley. The
members of the Miners' Union are not obliged
to mine coal unless they ehoose to, but when
I they take the position that they will not mine
coal themselves, that they will not allow others
• to sell it, and that they will not allow coal al
-1 ready mined and ready for shipment at the
I breakers to he used in smelting iron they cer
tainly assume a position which they cannot
rightfully maintain, and which In the end will
injure themselves. Our readers know the hn
portance to this Valley of the iron business,
and they know that thd blowing out of the
Furnaces along the Lehigh would be a serious
blow at the prosperity of this whole commu
nity. The articles which we have published
fromdime to time in regard to the Works of
the various Iron Companies in this county
have given sonic idea of the local importance
of this business, and a general suspension of
operations at the-Furnaces would seriously
affect every business Interest in this section of
the State. Since, therefore, the business pros
perity of this region dependsoso directly upon
the iron and coal trades everything which
deither favorably or unfavorably affects either
one of these two great interests is a matter
which directly concerns the people of this
vicinity.
With the increased annual production of an
thracite coal in this State one of the necessities
of the trade would seem to be to increase the
demand for it and enlarge the market. The
manifest effect, however, of the position
which has been taken by the leaders of the
Miners' Union in the Lehigh and Schuylkill
regions is to diminish the demand and restrict
the market,becnuse all who can in any way tree
themselves from a close dependence upon the
anthracite regions will be sure to do so. The
use of semi-bituminous coal is already taking
the place of anthracite in some of the rolling
mills and iron manufitctwies in this immediate
vicinity, and those who arc interested in the
development or the semi•biturninons and bitu
minous regions are making every possible use
of the periodical labor disturbances which so
seriously affect the anthracite trade. In per
sistently pursuing a policy which Im, a tend
etry in this direction the men are evidently
taking ivmlstak, n and unwise course, and it
seems to us that all concerned in the coal trade
who are endeavoring to accomplish by force
what cannot lie accomplished by the ordinary
course of business are working against their '
own interests. It is reported that the men in
the Lackawanna and Wyoming, regions ire
ready to resume work at One dollar per car,
which is a reduction of thirty-one cents from
the prier paid by the large Companies there
' prim to December last. The aggregate redne•
thin in the price paid for mining at that time
NVIIS forty-six cents per car, and if the men are
•
w ini ng t o go to work nt it reduction ninthly
: one cents they have gons considerably more
item half way to meet the Coinpanies. The
Companies, it is reported, intend to have the
whole reduction accepted or nothing, rind it is
understood that they are willing to have the
suspension continue until the men are starved
into compliance. This is not 'the right posi
' lion for the employing Companies to take,
nnd the present phase of this whole question
athirds one of the most convincing profit's that
it is a mistake for labor to try to coerce capital
and an Neal mistake for capital to try to op
press labor. Each needs the other, and their
proper relations are to mutually help each other
rather than to assume a position of sharp an
tagonism.

The State Senate eased to its third reading
on Thursday a bill providing . fir Ike transfer
of the Soldiers' orphaffit' Sell - n.l , in this
State to the care of the Stipt-rieffindent of
Common Schools. These School,; are now
under the care of Col. McFarland, and dissat
isfaction with his management in some re.

which have led to the introduction and pas

sorry to see anything done which will in any

was inaugurated under Guy. CUrtin and has
been successfully carried out since that time.
We know nothing of the merits of the objec

Department, but if Col. MdFarland's admin

is no reason why there should be a radical

CONGRES!iIONAL
In the Senate, on Tuesday, the Vice Presi
dent announced the return from the House of
the income-tax repeal bill, with an accompa
nying suggestion on the part of the House
that under section 7 of article 4 of the Consti
tution the House had sole power to originate
such measures. After some discussion, par
ticipated In by MeSsrs. Scott, Sherman, Wil
liams, and Saulsbury, It was resolved to re
turn the bill to the llouse, and a Committee
of conference was appointed.
In the House. Mr, Maynard, Irons the Com
mittee of Ways and Means, reported the bill
authorizing the Secretary of the Navy, after
consultation with the Attorney 'General, to
institute proceedings at law., or otherwise, to
obtain full damages and indemnification for
the destruction aid loss of the sloop-of-war
Oneida in the Bay of Japan, In January,lB7o,
by collision with the steamship Bombay,
Passed. House resumed, in the morning
hour, the bill reported from the Committee
on Military Affairs to extend the bounty-land
system to soldiers and sailors of the late war,
their widows and orphans. A long time:was
spent in discussing the bill, which was finally
passed. Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, from
the Committee on Reconstruction, reported
back, with the recomendation that it do pass
the Senate bill prescribing an oath of office to
be taken by persons who had participated in
the late] rebellion, but who aro not disquali
fied from holding °nice by the fourteenth
amendment of the Constitution. Without
disposing of the question, the House, at .1.30,
adjourned.
In the Senate on Wednesday Mr. Bucking
ham presented a remonstrance from the wo
men.of Ness • England against female suffrage,
protesting against the imposition upon them
of burdens pelonging to the sterner sex. Mr.
Pomeroy offered a substitute for his resolution
of yesterday, preceded by a preamble express
ing the sympathy of the American people
with the suffering people of France and Ger
many, &c. After striking out the preamble
and 'amending it to make it a concurrent re
solution it was passed. The unfinished busi
ness, being the resolution for the admission
of Joshua 11111 as Senator from Georgia, was
taken up. After some objection it was
adopted. Mr. Williams moved to proceed
with the steamship subsidy bills. A discus
sion ensued as to which should have prece
dence, the appropriation bills or the steamship
subsidy bills, after which Mr. Williams with
drew his motion, but again renewed it.
Without voting on the pending motion the
Senate, at 3.15, went into executive session,
and anon after adjourned.
The Ilouse resumed the consideration of
the
! Senate bill passed on the 22d of April last,
prescribing an oath of office to be taken by
persons who participated in the late rebellion,
'but who arc not disqualified from holding
office by the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States. The bill
provides that such persons shall take the oath
prescribed in the act of 11th July, 1808, pre
scribing an oath of office to be taken by
persons from whom legal disabilities shall
have been removed. After a great deal of
discussion the bill was passed, and it now
goes to the President for approval. Mr.
Loughridge presented the minority report on
the memorial of Victoria C. Woodhull for
woman suffrage. Mr. Bingham asked 'to
have the subject made the spee'al order for
the second Wednesday Ire February. Mr.
Kelsey, of New York, objected. The report
was ordered to he printed and recommitted.
In the Senate on Thursday Mr. Saulsbury,
addressing the Chair, said he rose for the first
time in his life to a question of privilege. Ile
moved to reconsider the vote by which Mr.
Pomeroy's resolution of sympathy with the
people of France and Germany was adopted
yesterday, so that Senators mightace whether
it read better backwards than forwards, or
whether there was any sense in it. Mr. Pome
roy announced himself as the author of the
resolution, and he knew of nothing wrong
shout it. After some discussiori a motion
wits made that a vote be taken, and the ques
i tion being put, Mr. Saulsbury alone responded
in the affirmative, to the great amusement of
the galleries. The motion to reconsider was
therefore lost. At 1.30 the Senate agreed—
yeas 33, nays I.l—upon the pending motion
of Mr. Williams, to proceed with the bill
subsidizing a steamship 'line in the Gulf of
Mexico. Mr. Kellogg urged the claims of
the Gulf States, in a lengthy speech, upon
the liberality of the Government. Without
d ii-posing of it, the Senate at 3.30 p. m. ad—
journed.
In the House, Mr. Kellogg, of Connecticut
from the Judiciary Committee, reported the
bill authorizing the issues of duplicate bonds
of the United States under certain conditions
in lieu of bonds lost or destroyed.
In the Senate, on Friday, a Conference
Committee was appointed on the bill abolish
ing the offices of Admiral and Vice-Admiral.
The bill granting pensions of the Veterans of
1812 was passed.
In the House, the concurrent resolution for
the relief of the sufferers by the war in Europe
wits passed. The Naval Appropriation bill
was discussed, without result.
P 1111,13111 ACADEMY at Andover, Mass., has
long had the reputation of being the best pre
paratory school for college In the country, and
that • reputation has been largely due to the
rare scholarship and careful instruction of Its
principal, Dr.l.3tunuel 11. Taylor. The recent
sudden death of Dr. Taylor removes one of
the foremost educators in the country, and his
decease will be sincerely lamented by thous
ands of men who were under his care during
the nearly forty years of his connection with
Phillips Academy. Dr. Taylor was a native
of Derry, N. 11., and a graduate of Dartmouth
College, and he combined In an unusual de
gree all the elements and qualifications which
go to make up nn eminently successful and
faithful teacher.
Anton a quiet of some weeks the reports of
forthcoming Cabinet changes at Washington
aro revived. This time it is stated that Messrs
Fish, Boutwell and Robeson will shortly re
sign their respective places, and it is also inti
mated that Mr. Akerman will not'much longer
occupy the place of Attorney' General. Mr.
Fish's resignation has so often been predicted
that it is no novelty, and it is probable that
so far as he is concerned the present reports
will prove true. Senator Morton of Indiana
is confidently mentioned as Mr. Fish's
successor, and Gen Pleasanton and Ex-Gov.
Morgan of ew York are mentioned as can
didates for the guardianship of the Treasury
in case Mr. Boutwell leaves it.
ONE of the six gentlemen claiming to be
United States Senators from Georgia has at
last been admitted to a seat. This gentle
man, Mr. Joshua Dill, was elected by the loyal
Legislature of Georgia before the colored mem
hers were expelled by the Democratic mem
bers, and his claim upon a seat was stronger
than that of any of the other applicants for the
place. The other gentleman who wtis elected
at the same time with Mr. Dill, Mr. Miller, has
not been admitted yet, it being urged against
his admission that he served as a surgeon in
the rebel army. .

Tun House of Representatives at Washinghn
has refused to act on the bill lately passed bythe
Senate for the abolition of the income tax, on
the ground that all bilis relating to raising
revenue must have their origin in the House,

Catholic Church have been promised by the
Italian Ministry and guarentced by the Sen•
ate, and the Pope will probably remain at
Rome. There is no reason why he should
not do so at any rate, for the taking away of
his temporal pciwer and authority will not in
the least affect his headship of the Catholic
Church or infringe upon his authority as
Pope.
GEN. SCHENCK seems to have reconsidered
the determination which he expressed some
time agO to partake of ho complimentary ban

Claims and return from the English mission.
At any rate he was banqueted at New York
last week by 'William M. Everts; end among
the guests were Edwards Pierrepont, Horace
Greeley, William B. Astor, Geo. McDowell,
Ex-Gov. Morgan and other prominent gen

THE foreign policy of the new Spanish

A DARING BANK ROBBERY
The Watchman Gagged by Burglars
Dressed In Pollee Garb.
From The Philadelphia Star
Thursday evening about five o'clock a man
dressed in police uniform went to the Ken
sington bank, at 969 Bench street, and notified
the cashier that there were some suspicious
persons about the neighborhood, and that they
should caution the watchman to be vigilant.
The cashier told the wa' I men to be careful,
and on no account to i. t nay eneinto the bunk
—this being a standing rote of tile institution.
About 7 o'clock in the evening, after all but
the two w;:tehmen had left, two men In the
garb of policemen caine to the door and called
to one of the watchmen by name, John
Holmes.
The watchthan went to the' door and the
"policeman" told him that two of them had
been sent by the lieutenant to give their assis
tance in case of need.
One of them then asked for a drink of wa
ter. The watchman, Holmes, turned Into the
bank again, to get it, they accompanying him.
Just as Mr. Holmes was in the act of get
ting the water they seized and handcuffed
him, at the same limo drawing a rope
tightly over his mouth.
On complaining of
. the severity of "the
gag" they replaced it with a handkerchiefoind
tied his legs together. They then leit him in
this helpless condition, and seizing the othei
watchman namel Morris Murphy, handcuffed
and gagged him.
They then opened the dorir ; and admitted
a number of confederates, the watchman Can
not say how many, and placing one of their
gang on guard over the two watchmen, they
commenced operations.
They first broke open the outside lire•proof
safe with cold chisels and other implements
of burglary. Here they secured all the boxes
of valuables and other securities which had
been left on deposit for safe keeping.
They then tried to open the large safe, one
of the Lillie make, which was inside. It con
tained all the property of the bank. It resisted
all their efforts to force it open, and atter
working from about eight o'clock in the even
ing until about three In the morning they
gave up the job lo disgust, and left hastily,
leaving the watchmen still bound.
After they were gone the two captives edged
up towards each other, and managed to re
lease each other's legs. Running down to a
foundry in the vicinity, where men were
at work, they were relieved of their fetters,
and narrated all that lied occurred.
As the depositors of the valuables had the
keys of their boxes, the bank officers can form
no idea of the individual losses. The bank
loses nothing.
We are indebted to Mr. ' Win. Wolbert,
commission merchant, 1131 Marlborough
street, for information of the above remark
able robbery.
PROM ANOTIIER REPORTER
The statement subjoined is that given to an
other Star reporter by one of the bank officers,
the chief portion of which was to him related
by the watchman of the bank :
Towards live o'clock yesterday afternoon a
man of medium build, and apparently In his
85th year, called at the residence of Wm. Mc-
Connell, cashier of the bank, and said that he
bad overheard a conversation between a party
of suspicious characters, which led him to
believe that they contemplated robbing the
bank.
TO give his statement a stronger semblance
of truth ho assured Mr. McConnell that Lieu
tenant Clark of the Police Wee had been
made acquainted with the facts,.nud that he
had been deputed by
. him to call and warn
him of the danger.
Mr. McConnell despatched word to John
Holmes and Thomas Murphy, the watchmen,
with instructions that they should both go ou
duty nt dark, and remain in the bank all night.
He also called their particular attention to
the rules, which set forth that no person, ex
cepting certain officers of the institution and
the watchmen, shall he permitted to enter the
bank'ng house alter 6 o'clock, P. M.
About 7 o'clock last evening a couple of
men m police uniform rapped nt the bank
door on Bench street. The watchmen called
out " who's there ?" The fellow responded,
"policemen sent here by Lieutenant Cleric,
to assist In guarding against the contemplated
robbery."
Without hesitating, the inside guardians
opened the door and permitted the supposed
policemen to enter. The strangers walked to
the rear of the room and took seats. They
engaged in conversation with both Holmes
and Murphy.
They talked of the contemplated robbery
and of the officers who were outside watch
ing the movements of the cracks:nen, and so
completely did they hoodwink the watchmen
that in carrying out their designs they experi
enced but little trouble.
Between 0 and 10 o'clock one of the stran
gers asked Murphy to get him a glass of water.
The hydrant, is in the back part of the build
ing. While Murphy was temporarilly away,
the fellow seized Hohnes, and quickly apply
ing a buck and rendered him speechless, and
then pinioning his arms and legs, ran him in
to the President's room.
Murphy crime hurrying to the apartment,
one or the outlaws drew a revolver and bade
bins keep still. He was 'treated as llohhes
had been, and was also senterin the Presi
dent's room.
'While one of the pair stood guard over
their helpless victims, the other opened the
iron door and permitted some four or five
confederates to enter. The latter came fully
prepared with burglarious implements. With
out further ceremony the iron door or the
vault was attacked and soon yielded to the
blows.
Some fifty tin boxes containing bonds,
mortgages, private papers and loonies belong
ing to depositors were emptied of their con
tents, and what the thieves deemed 01 no value
to them was scattered over the floor.
All of the unregistered bonds, bank notes
and coin that the boxes held were stowed In
the pockets of the operators. While sonic of
-the gang were thus employed others were
hammering away at the safe in the vault.
They succeeded in breaking a clever sized
hole in the door, but failed to open it.
At 3 o'clock this morning they left the
bank. The watchmen, alter their departure,
managed to loosen the ropes about their legs,
and with handcuffed wrists walked to the
rolling mill close by and had their shackles
and gags removed.
The bonds and cash stolen will amount, it is
sald,to between ten and twenty thousand dol.
Jars. The bank will not lose anything as the
boxes were simply placed there for safe keep-
BURIIf.D ALIVE AND I Ut:SI:ItItECTED.-liir.
John Andrews, in the neighborhood of Poplar
Grove, Missouri, dug a well, which, at the
depth of forty feet, caved in while he was at
the bottom. The neighbors who gathered,
supposing him dead entirely, did nothing, but
arranged to dig the body out next tiny. But
his w:fe and children did not leave. So, late
in the evening as they were watching, all nt
once they saw Mr. Andrews emerging from
the well, covered with clay, and coming to
ward them ! The children all ran, screaming,
to the house, bolted the doors and fastened
the windows, believing It to be their father's
ghost. But Mrs. Andrews ran to meet hint,
screaming at the top of her voice : " Oh,
John ! Oh, John ! is that you l" When she
reached him she fell fainting at his feet. It
seems that when he got to the bottom of the
well he looked up and saw the top giving way,
and believing he had not time to make his es
cape, he slipped under the boards which Ile
had laid across the well, when the whole
thing fell in upon him. All hope, at first,
gave way, and he was about to let himself
drop into the water below and end at once
his miserable feelings. But, feeling above,
he found the clay easily crumbled, and hope
revived. The pole ladder; it seems; was still
standing, and getting hold of it with one hand,
he with the other, scratched away for dear life,
the dirt falling into the water below as he
dragged his body slowly upwards. It seems
he did not suffer much in breathing, as fresh
air came down the pole, around which the dirt
was loosely packed. In the incredible short
time of seven hours he scratched a bole some
forty feet long, through which he made his es
cape. The moral has a direct bearing, and
and Is as good as a sermon on the text,
" Scratch gravel."
THE Sruixo Tit:am—Beth wholesale and
retail deniers In this line in New York believe
there is a ,favorable prospect for an active
trade. Thus far in 1871 the trade from first
hands has been considerably In excess of 1870,
especially in staple cotton goods, which have
sold freely, because of limited production
later in the season, anticipated on account of
the drouth, which limits the , production of
the New England mills to :10 percent, of their
maximum capacity. Manufacturers, however,
are making staple instead of other fabrics,
considerable amounts of which were carried
over from last season, so that "the fears of
exhausting the supply are, at least, premature,
and agents need not advance prices.
In woolen fabrics, too, the current trade
has been greater than for sonic years at this
season, and he supply, as that of cotton
fabrics, will be limited. Manufacturers gen
erally seem desiroua of keeping up the market
and preventing any accumulations of stock
above trade requirements. One or two mills
have already stopped work in spring goods,
to start on heavy fabrics. Importers and Job
bers are, apparently, well satisfied with the
prospects for the season's trade in foreign
goods, which will, it is thought, be a profitable
one. The stocks ordered in European mar
kets are not above the ordinary requirements
of the trade. With the coming of peace and
Opening of French markets, values are expec
ted to improve abrcad, and this cannot but be
beneficial to the holders of foreign goods in
this country•. The stocks of nll classes of
goods held by retailers are, almost universally,
light, and, in, view of the easy financial con
ditiou of consumers generally, this class of
dealers are expecting a busy season.
THE CENBUS.—The agricultural statistics of
the census returns will be ready for publica
tion nt an early day, and will show many in
' teresting facts now not generally known.
They will prove that there has been consider
hie decrease in thdamount of live stock rrlsed
in New England since 1800, while the business
of market gardening, in the vicinity of the
cities and villages, has grown very rapidly.
One consequence of this Is a marked Improve
ment In the style of living afforded by the
Middle classes, as shown in the greater variety
found on the tables of mechanics and Improved
modes of cooking. It Is thought that this will
result in a noticeable improvement in the
health of the people. The mortallity statistics
will be very much more complete than those
of any previous census, and though the death
rate of 1870 may appear greater, than that of
1800, which was reported at 1 in 80, it is sup
posed that this will show rather a more faithful
record than adincreaso of mortaillty. Thu
bane of all vital slidiAties is the "unknown"
Column. and this Creii. Walker expects to re
duce from 50 to 00 per eent,below'that oflBl3o.
