TWO DARING BANDITS I
THEY LOOT A NATIONAL BANK AT
ALLENTOWN, N. J.
Cashier Hutchinson ami a Dig Crowd of !
Citizens Pursue and Capture the High- |
way men While They Were Ku lining ;
Away with Two Thousand Dollars.
ALLENTOWN, NOV. 30.—TWO bold ban
dits, in true western style, held up the
cashier and bookkeeper in the Farmers'
National bank tit this place in broad day
light, but after leaving the bank with a
large sum of money they were run down
and captured. At about 12:30 p. 111. two
young men entered the bank ami walked
directly to the window, behind which stood ,
Cashier Elmer H. Hutchinson. One of the i
men had a mustache and the other was
smooth faced. The man with the mustache |
pointed a revolver at Cashier Hutchinson
and said, "We want a.l the money you
have."
At the same time the young robber with ■
the smooth face covered Bookkeeper Wil
liam I). Smith with his revolver. Smith i
was also behind the rail. There was no one
else in the bank at the time but the book
keeper, the cashier and the two robbers.
Run Down by u Mob.
The bank officials were powerless, and '
12,000 in greenbacks which lay on the coun- i
ter was shoved out to the robbers. One of j
them kept the cashier and his assistant
covered with his revolver; the other put the
money in his pockets and then started to
wards the door. The other robber com- I
manded Cashier Hutchinson and his assist
ant to walk backward toward the wall j
and then to stand there facing it.
They did so, and the robber who took the
money, finding the coast clear, walked out |
of the door. The other soon followed and
started on a run down the street. As soon
as the bank men found that the robbers j
were gone they started in pursuit, tiring at
the robbers as they ran.
Cashier Hutchinson, who is a last run- |
ner, gained on the two thieves, who, per- |
ceiving this, turned and fired several shots j
back at their pursuers. William Laird, a
farmer, and William H. Brewer, a hard- |
ware merchant, kept up with Cashier j
Hutchinson, and they assisted in overtak- j
taking and capturing the robbers after they
had run about 500 yards. The thieves, find
ing that they were hemmed in on all sides,
threw up their hands 011 being covered i
with shotguns and pistols in the hands of
the excited citizens.
Wild Threats Made.
During the chase Cashier Hutchinson i
emptied all the chambers of his revolver,
while the thieves tired three shots. None I
of the bullets took effect.
The crowd gathered around them, and
•mid many wild threats they were secured
and the money taken from them. They
gave the names of J. B. Morris and Fred
erick Smith. Later in the day they were
taken to Freehold jail. Upon being searched
a memorandum was found bearing the
words "Woodstown bank, Nov. 30." It is
supposed that they intended to pay this
place in Salem county a visit today.

HARTFORD, NOV. 24.—The official count

Briggs ii Trial.
NEW YORK, NOV. 30. —At the groat heresy
trial the defendant, Rev. I)r. Briggs, se
cured an order to strike from the indict
ment against him its two most essential
counts, Nos. 4 and 7. The fourth
charge, relating to the fulfillment of proph
ecy, was stricken out by a vote of 70 to 49,
and the seventh charge, relating to re
demption after death, by a vote of 74 to 59.
These were standing votes, and many qual
ified voters did not vote on either side. No
delegate called for a vive voce vote, so that
the opinion of each man was not recorded.
The prosecuting committee will complain
of these votes and carry the case to the gen
eral assembly, which meets in Washington
next May.
The case will proceed with reference to
the six remaining charges. The temper of
the presbytery is clearly seen by its action.
In all probability these charges will be de- j
lared insufficient and the case dismissed.

! At THE MONEY CONFERENCE.
American Proposals Coldly Received.
Rothschild's Scheme Favored.
j BRUSSELS, Nov. 26.—The proposals laid
before the international conference by the
American commissioners are as follows:
Firstly, the plan of Mr. Moritz Levy, pro
posed to the monetary conference of 1881; sec
ondly. the plan of the late Adolph Soetbeer
i (see Vienna Neue Freie Presse. Sept. 30, 1*92;
' Hamburgische Boersenhalle, Aug. 23, 1802;
Pioneer Mail, Allahabad. < >rt. la. IM'2>; lastly,
I we present the plan proposed by ourselves as
delegates of the United States: There-estab
lishment and maiuftineuce of a fixed parity
between gold and silver, and the continued use
(if both as coined money of full debt paying
power would bo productive of important bene
fit to the world.
These ends will be accomplished by the re
moval of the legal restrictions now existing
and the coinage of silver into full legal tender
money, restoring by international agreement
the parity of value between the metals which
| existed prior to 1871 at such a ratio as the con
ference may decide upon. The essentials of
such an international arrangement should bo
the unrestricted coinage of both gold and silver
into money of full debt puylng power, fixing a 1
ratio in the coinage between the metals, and
i the establishment of a uniform charge, if any,
to the public for mintiug gold and silver coins. I
The American proposals were coldly re- j
ceived. M. Tirard declined to consider
them without first consulting the French
government, and most of the other dele
| gates also declined to give consideration to j
j the American proposals without consult- J
ing their respective governments. There- j
| upon the American delegates decided to
I withdraw their proposals provisionally.
American Delegate* Satisfied.

gates to the monetary conference are said

i world were reported by the police.

m. Tuesday. The interment will take place

ltev. John W. Scott, the father-in-law of

a couple of years prior to his death. His
room there was the one formerly occupied
by Fannie Hayes and later by Nellie Ar
thur.
During his stay at the White House
everything possible was done for his com
fort. Dr. Scott

to the president of a" A-t jjl\(Bf

the west. He was a man, too, of the high- |
est moral character, and despite his heavy !
burden of years he was one of the most i
companionable as well as popular men in
Washington even before his son-in-law be
came president of the United States.
Rev. John Witherspoou Scott was born
in Beaver county, Pa., Jan. 22, 1800. He
was a son of Rev. George M. Scott, one of
the early pioneers of Scotch Presbyterian- j
ism in western Pennsylvania.
In 1828 he resigned his professorship at
Washington college and accepted a similar
appointment in the Miami university, in
Oxford, O. Here he remained until the
spring of 1845, when he removed to College
Hill, near Cincinnati, for the purpose of
founding the Farmers' college, and when
it became well established Dr. Scott was
invited back to Oxford to found a female
college there.
It was while Dr. Scott was in charge of
the Western Female seminary that Benja
min Harrison, a student who was taking a
course at Oxford, met and loved Carrie
Scott, the daughter of the venerable pro
fessor.
The young people were married Oct. 20,
1853, and together began the struggle of
life, which resulted eventually in their oc
cupancy of the White House.
VANDERBILT'S VILLA BURNED.
The Family Have a Narrow Escape at
Newport.
I NEWPORT, R. 1., Nov. 26.—"The Break
ers," the beautiful summer residence of
I Cornelius Vanderbilt, was burned to the
I ground between 4:30 and 6 p. in. It was
the greatest fire Newport ever knew and
j attracted thousands of spectators,
j Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt tried to save a
few personal relics, and in doing so nearly
; lost their lives. In five minutes the house
was a mass of flames, and in less than an
hour it was nearly consumed,
i The whole building was a roaring fur
nace from the roof to the ground and from
I end to end when the department arrived.
All the rich tapestries, rare paintings, val
-1 uable bric-a-brac and fine decorations and
i furnishings were beyond rescue. The
! house was built about a dozen or fifteen
years ago for Pierre Lorillnrd, of New
York, and was purchased, with the exten
sive grounds, by Mr. Vanderbilt in 1884 for
j $400,000. More than SIOO,OOO was expended
in additions and improvements to the
building.
' The character of the furniture and dec
j orations may be judged from the fact that
. in a single hall were hung tapestries esti
! mated to be worth $200,000 or more. Mem
; hers of the family and servants alike lost
all their clothing.

trated him; that he is up and dressed and
! at work in his library, or, on the other
hand, that he lies helpless in bed in raving
delirium, and thut his mind as well as his
body is affected by his illness.
1 The actual truth, as learned by care

has really been dangerously ill, but that
now he is improving, although he is still
, far from being out of danger.
