DODOK HAKES H IB) KE- PORT OF INSPECTION. Extracts Taken From the Maine concerning: the I.'tle Encamp. ment at wrlithisvllle Fourth Rciclmeiit Complimented. Tlic rank nnd file of the State Guard ot North Carolina is composed of the very iH-st material of the State, mostly young gentlemen of Rood family and established social niisition. one company tunc oi the oldest in the United States) is so ex elusive as to select its recruits by ballot ns in n club, one or more black balls to rcicct: vet. in spite ol tins most op- jcctionnblc method of recruiting, it is in drill and discipline one ol the Pest, it not the liest. cimioanv in the State. Hut ns- sured faniilv and social position arc not always accompanied by pecuniary inde pendence. 1 IK' CltilLC Ul illllLII VMlwi.ii.i not onlv does not pay her troops, but she does not feed them. Transportation alone is provided by the State, uniform equipments and tcntnge lieiug furnished bv the United States. A company is called on lor a ten days sojourn in the encampment. Some of the memliers of the comnauv mav be clerks in stores or tobacco warehouses. Their employers refuse permission fur them to attend the encampment unless they furnish other persons capable of performing their 4luties. iiicmemner 01 uic company is obliged not only to lose his own salary during the time of his absence, but to hire an acceptable substitute at his own e.Kiise, and from the time he leaves his home until his return, he is obliged ( though under orders of his eonimander iiwliii.f the irovernor of the State) to sumlv his own subsistence. I doubt if there lie a community ouisidcof the Slate of North Carolina which could furnish voting men of such military zeal nnd 'fervor as to stick to their colors under such advantages. The discipline was exceedingly lax. The commanding general seemed to think that the colonels were responsible for, and should maintain, discipline in their regiments, while the colonels ( with the exception of Col. J. T. Anthony, of the Fourth Regiment) apenrcd to think that no discipline was necessary except that enforced by authority superior to theirs. " The change ill the hours ol morning drill necessarily modi fied paragraph VII of General Orders No. 3, and from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m., the the troops not on guard or other special dutv were alsolutcly free Irom all re straint, going and coming as they pleased. This was a supposed camp ofinstruction, and the heat of which much complaint was made was not more unendurable than that to which the troops of any State are subjected in summer, yet here were seven good hours of each day ab solutely thrown away. At night there was the same absentee ism. Immediately after evening parade, crowds flocked to" the Island Beach hotel and other places of amusement and resort, and spend the night in dancing and flirt ing with the charming ladies there as sembled. In strong contrast to this general laxity was the firm and excellent discipline maintained in the Fourth Regiment by Colonel J. T. Anthony. His camp, which wtts a model of good order, wits sur rounded by u chain of sentinels, and his officers niid men lelt camp only by his permission. The last few days of the encampment were almost entirely given up to reviews, receptions, and ceremonies, while well enough in their way, ought nut to take up the very limited time which should be devoted to instruction. I regret to be obliged to add that, from the laxity of discipline, the very little time of each day devoted to the work of instruction, the presence of crowds ol ad miring friends and ladies, who required snow rather than work, and the general disposition of all concerned to have a good time, the encampment of the North Carolina State Guard was thisyearmore of a seaside frolic thun a field ol instruc tion. And it must remain so until the North Carolina Legislature recognizes that men will not work without com pensation. Every member of the North Carolina State Guard who attends the encampment must do so at considerable personal expense. He seeks comjicnsa tion in the sea-shore frolic, the ladies, the music, the dancing, surf bathing, &c. These are good and loyal men; if paid to work and required to work they will work; but men rurelv work for the sake of work, and these can scarcely be ex pected to work without compensation ol some kind. Under the present condition their only compensation is the pleasure they can extract from their surroundings. The amount of instruction now re ceived is not worth the money ex jieudcd ; yet these encampments, if prjierly con ducted, ure of the very greatest licnefit to the wholecuimtry in providing.-! thor oughly instructed and disciplined nrmv in Cits of danger. . Whether lor instruction or for service in the field troops should never be forced to leave their homes at their own expense. If the State will not pay the expense ol these encampments that expense should be assumed by the general government. Ill'AKll IHTY. There was no brigade guard. Bach colonel was jiermitted to order such guard dutv us he pleased. The result was that in three regiments the guard duty wus a mere form or rather farce. I did not see a sentinel on post in either of the First, Second or Third Regiments, . and was informed that they were only posted from between 0 to 12 o'clock at night until daylight. Kaeh regiment had guard mounting each morning, which, owing to the lack ofinstruction of the officers, was gener ally Iwdlv rjcrformed. After this cere mony the guards were marched back to their regimental grounds, and, except in t he Fourth Reeiinent. were then virtually dismissed. Officers and membersof these v.iprds being, of course, excused from all oilier duties, were tree to absent tnem selves from the camp, with absolute cer tainty of not being called on for any duly until late at night. As underGeneral Or ders No. 3. these men were excused from all duty until 4 p. m. next day, it can be readily seen that a detail for guard was "welcomed as an invitation to a picnic. This was by no means the case in the Fourth Regiment. Colonel Anthony kept his guard rigidly to its work. His camp urua constantly, d.iv and night, sur rounded by a chain of sentinels, and in all the camp his men alone had any proper instruction or experience in their duty as guurds, the most important and responsible tliat a soiuter can penorra, GENKRAL CONmXT. i .ltp of the extreme lack of discipline nlurTu commented on. it would be scarcely possible to find an equal body of men more umiormiy tuuntuu. w other, or more perfectly well behaved This, of course, came from the high character nnd individual standing ol the men themselves. During the whole en campment, 1 saw not a single ease of drunkenness nor of disorderly cmduct of anv kind. One man dirt get drunK and disgrace himself bv flourishing a pistol in the faces of women and children at a hotel. He was promptly arrested, dis armed, taken to camp, and confined in the guard-tent. His conduct was a sub ject of comment of the whole camp. I wns informed that it was the intention of the authorities to try him by a general court-martial, with a view to his dishonorable discharge from the service, which sentence in North Carolina carries with it deprivation of civil rights. TIIK KNCAMI'MENT. While. Irom a military point of view the encampment can hurdle be considered a pronounced success, it vet had its value, enabling the least instructed com panics to see their deficiencies, nnd each organization to gain some knowledge by comparison with others, The company may be regarded as the primary school of military instruction; the encampment is the college, which rounds out nnd makes useful the elementary principles previously mastered. The North Carolina encampment had too -little disci)liiie, too little drill, too little earnest work, too much military show and ceremony ; but the troops im- Iiroved rapidly, "and gained much tnowledge that will serve as ground work for future nnd bctterencnmpnicnts. As before remarked, troops should never be called into the field, whether for service or for instruction, when any part ofthe expense has to lie borne by the men themselves. Pay, food, clothing, and transportation should invariably he furnished, and if the States will not defray these expenses, some arrangement ought to be made by which they can lie paid by the United Mates. With magnificent material and excellent regulations, the State of North Carolina owes her State Guard to the innate pride and military spirit ofthe men themselves. She is like a" vain but miserlv mun who sets up his carriage without providing food for his horses. The State Guard is either valuable or not. If valuable, it should lie proerly cared for at the ex pense of the Stnte. II not, it snotuii c disbanded. A MAN FOUND DEAD, , B. Holmes Was II In Name and He Died of Appoplexy. Hot Springs, N. C, September 21. Special. This peaceful village was thrown into a fever of excitement last evening over the report of the finding of a dead body on tlie precipitous moun tain side above "Lover's Leap." "Who was he? and "How did he die.' were the questions on everybody's tongue. A mysterious death within a tew hundred cards of the centre of the town was enough to startle the citizens from the even tenor of their way and take prompt steps for the investigation as to the cause of the unknown's decease. The first step was to secure the remains which were high up the mountain side, the out stretched hands clutching in their death grasp tufts of grass which helped sustain the body in position. This was no easv task. The descent of the mountain at the point where the body wns found is so steep that an able bodied man finds difficulty in picking his way along the very narrow footpath n tiie rocky sloiic. l ne nuty oi carry ing a corpse down this place in the dusk I the evening was lar irom pleasant. I'wo sturdy mountain climbers performed the task, however, and brought the body across the ferry to the mayor's office. Here, under the dim rays ol a lantern it lay, exposed to the view of the mor bidly disposed onlookers as the Hon. Beverlv W. Hill, took charge of the pro ceedings and swore in a jury of the good citizens to sit over the remains. Lawyer Rumbough took the testimony and Dr. Montgomery was the medical examiner. In solemn and dignified manner the mayor called for "John Saunders!" A flutter of expectancy ran through the crowd of spectators. "Hold up yonr right hand, said his honor "Do you solemnly swear that you will tell the trutn, tne wnoic trtitn ana noiiung out the truth, so help you God ?" '1 do, answered the witness. 'Now tell what vou know of finding this body," remurked the mayor. iMv wife said thut Uus man came to my house shortly after nine o'clock in the morning and solicited pictures to en large. A picture was given to him. but my wife told him he must make the terms with me, which wus agreed to. The stranger expressed a desire to climb "Lover's Leap." My little boy guided urn to the pathway up tlie mountain side. Ilefore starting the man left his pictures at the house, saying he would relnrn for thcin. He did not come ouch. My wile told me of the circumstance and I secured the assistance of Mr. Robert son. Wcclimbed the mountain nnd nearly at the summit we found the man's body. He had fallen on his face and was in that position with his hands clutching the grass and his spectacles pushed up on his forehead." Mr. Robertson confirmed Mr. Saun ders' testimony. Another citizen said he saw the man knocking nt the Episcopal church door a few days ago. The man appeared "queer." He visited a number of people in town and made a favorable impression. At a late Hour last nigni tne jury ren dered a verdict of death from natural causes probably exhaustion and heart laiiure, owing iu mc viguious uiuiu. On the man's person were found a watch, thirty-six dollars in money and papers showing him to be J. B. Holmes, travel ing for a Fairfield, Ills., photograph firm. Mayor Hill telegraphed to Illinois but has not received an answer. The body was buried this afternoon. M. Y. B. Arrested for Diamond Theft. I-oiiisvillk. Kv.. Septemler21. Thos. Green, an express messenger on the New port News ana Mississippi vancy rail road, was arrested here last night by Detective Fnrrell. charged with having stolen $800 worth of diamonds from a trunk about ten days ago. The baggage muster, whose name is White, was ar rested at Lexington yesterday. When Green was captured he was at the races, and was just cashing a couple of pool tickets on which he had made a big win ning. To Support a Missionary. Siiklhv, N. C, September 21. Spe cial. The King's Mountain Buptist Association pledged itself to support the Rev. G. P. Bostic as missionary in China with the assistance of the Green River Association. This asssocintion gives seven hundred dollars for this cause, an increase of five hundred and fifty dollars over last year. TIIK EMPEROR'S RETURN. HIHMARCK WII.I. CAI.I. THE CABINET TOIiKTHER, (.eadliiK RuHHlan Papers Much Pleused at the Friendly Treat ment Accorded the Czarewltch During- IIlH Recent Tour. Copyrighted 1HHU bv N. Y. Associated I'rcsH. Bhri.in, September 21. The Emperor will return to rotsnam to-morrow i'rince Bismarck will come to Berlin Wednesday. Count Herbert Bismarck -ill the cabinet ministers, and (Jen. Von chweinitz, German embassador to Rus sia, arc summoned lo u meeting Thurs day. The assembling ol these pohlica potencies is due lo thcCzar'scomiiig visit for which definitive arrangements are to be made. The Kieler Zeilung announces that the Russian yachts Pergnva and Cznrevna and the ironclad General Admiral, con veying the Czar, are timed to reach Keil on the morning of the 27lh instant. Al though the Czar has expressed an earn est wish that his reception lie as quiet as possible, and that no international sull ied be pressed upon his attention during his stay, I'rince Bismarck up tears to be determined to invest the interview with all possible importance. If his plans are effected, instead ot a short and uncere monious visit, the Czar will 1h treated to a nuiiilicr of court banquets and a diplo matic dinner. The absence of Giers, the Russian for eign minister, indicates that the Czar is determined to rcluse I'rince Bismarck a political coulerenee. in order to em phasize his desire to avoid the discussion f foreign affairs, the Czar has ordered tilers to leave fit. retcrshitrg on I uesdaj ibr a fortnight's holiday, which is to be silent in Die provinces. Throughout his sojourn here, the Czar will ostentatiously refrain from transac tions of all foreign office business. The Novo Vremya, Grashdanin, and all Russian pnjicrs agree that the excep tionally friendly trcutmcnt of the Czare wltch during his visit to licrmany, and the courtesies offered to the Czur do not affect the relations between the two countries. The Czar's personal feelings towards the Emperor have re cently hcen excited Uy tin incident arising from his conferring the order of St. Stan islaus on the Bulgarian Major Grueff, who kidnaped I'rince Alexander of Bat lenbcrg, and who now is a Russian tien- sinner. The linqicrnr at a military dinner in tlie course ot conversation expressed wonder that the decoration should have been given to a traitorous soldier. Three Prussian officers, who wore the decora tion of the order of St. Stanislaus, were present ut the dinner and heard the lim- lieror's words. They forthwith returned tlie insignia to St. Petersburg, with a collectively signed protest, stating that they could not wear an order which had been given to a mutineer. The Czar's exasperation was so intense that he demanded through Count Sehuuvuloft, the Russian embassador here, the pun ishment of the officers. The limpcror placed lliein under arrest lor unauthor ized correspondence with u foreign gov ernment : but after two days he ordered their r''lease. Thebelicfoftheforeignoffice here is that the Czar designs to stay only a few hours at Potsdam, and not to come to Berlin, proceeding straight to Moscow after an interchange of formal civilities with Emperor Willian. The maneuvers at Hanover terminated to-day; the Emperor, commanding the tenth corps, assumed a defensive position behind Elze on the Alfcld railway. His corps used the smokeless powder. Eight Schunian iron clad towers, armed with machine guns, figured in the fight, the plan of which involved the retreat of the seventh corps firing ordinary powder. The Post publishes a military report on the maneuvers which is conclusive as to the necessity of smokeless powder hence forth for both artillery and infantry. The corps using smokeless powder that without the latter being able to deter mine the distance. The latter were often taken on the flank, and weie unable to guess whence the fire came. If it had been a real battle they would have been annihilated. The report dilates upon the demoraliz ing nnd bewildering effect of the smoke less fire of the infnntry upon their oppo nents and also refers to increased cer tainty of aim arising from the absence of smoke, esiiecially in case of artillery. The war office is preparing to supply the smokeless powder to all troops, in cluding the second class lundwehr. The latest perfected smokeless powder leaves no sign after tiring by infantry, und only a slight gray mist after tiring by nrtil lery. - General Van Blumcnthal, who was stii posed to lie under the displeasure of limpcror William, was present at the maneuvers to-day, and was cordially received by the limpcror. The popular demonstration so gratified the linqieror that he told the Burgamastcr of Hanover that he hoicd to pass several daysycarly among the Hanoverians. Iron Hhlpments. Makotkttk, Mich., September 21. The shipments of iron ore by lake to date have passed the 5,000,000 mark this week's work carrying the total up to 503,191 gross toils which is 1,5)4-1,001) tons above the quantity that had been forwarded at the corresponding date last year; and the shipment for the week footed up 242,(583 tons, of which amount 42,138 tons went from Mar quette, 86,110 from Escanaba, 73,343 from Ashlund, 23,790 from Two Har bors, 2,042 from St. Ignace, and 4660 from Gladstone. Last week's shipments were fully up to the average for the sea son ; and the indications now are that the output of the mines for 1889 will easily reach 7,000,000 tons, and may somewhat exceed that figure.

Although the rain fell incessantly last night, the work if digging out the victims of the land slide was carried on throughout the en tire night. The efforts of workers were concentrated on the spot where a man named Kemp was supposed to e burned. At 4 o'clock this morning the work was far enough advanced to allow him to be seen it a distance of nbout fifteen feet from the base of operations. Kemp . would sing a couple of popular songs and then would snout, "police, ponce. Ihe poor man is either insane or in delirium. A man named Beauchamp, who, with his two brothers had worked ut the wreck without sleep ever since the land slide crawled into a small oieii ing to get at Kemp who way lying about fifteen feet awav under an immense pile of stones, but had notgone six feet under the pile when the whole mass came down on his back. Beauchamp, however, be ing a strong, courageous an managed to crawl back a couple of feet, but could not move an inch further, his progress being blocked by the corpse of a woman. A Redemptorist Father who passed the night on the scene, encouraging the workers, kneeled down and began to re cite a prayer. The men, although almost exhausted by their constant hard strug gles, and weakened by the pouring rain winch inundated all about them, seeing IScauchump apparently doomed to cer tain death, rushed to his rescue with all the energy of despair, and after great effort, their comrade wns pulled out alive and without serious nyurv though some whnt stunned nnd bruised. John Nolan, who was thought to have been killed nt the beginning of the catastrophe, was found still alive, though he had lieen im prisoned under a mass ot ruins twenty feet deep for thirty-six hours. It will lie several hours vet before he can be got nit. The men of "B," battery and Roval school of Cavalry are still at work. The Current Did Not Fall. Chattanooiia, Tenn., September 21. It has Ix'cn found bv the coroner's in quest on the body of Mrs. Adams, of Casey, Illinois, who wns killed yesterday bv jumping from an electric car on Mis sion Ridge, that the current of electricity did not lull, but that the cause of the ac cident was a lack of appliance on the car lor preventing tne wheels from slipping on a slick track. The electric current did its duty, as it was proved on trial that the wheels were turning in the right di rection to carry up the truck, but the car lieing heavily loaded and the track being covered with a heavy dew, the wheels re fused to take hold of the rails and slid lown the lull. No farther deal hs have occurred, but Capt. Owen Wiley, of Casey, is not so well, and tears are entertained that ne will not recover. George H.

AN ELECTRIC LINE CAR HI NN OVER A MAN On Bouthslde Avenue, KIIIIiik Him Almost Instantly A Coro ner's Jury Acquits the Motor Man of all Rlanie, Etc Passengercar No. 1 of the electric street railway line, conductor Williams and motor man William Mitchell in charge, ran over and killed an unknown white man, apparently about forty-five years of age, last night about 7.45 o'clock. The accident occurred about three hun dred yards this side of the last curve on the Southside avenue line of the rail way, near the long bridge. The car was thrown from the track by the collision its headlight smushed and the passen gers, of whom there was nearly u car full, severely shaken up ns the car lelt the rails and struck the earth. Munv ol the inmates of the coach thought it had run off of the bridge, and in a lew minutes quite n panic ensued, some en deavoring to jump through the windows, and others leaping out on either side of the track from the rear and front encis ol the car. In a moment or two, however, they discovered the body of a man lying at nearly full length in the center of the track where the car had left the rails, groaning, and apparently suffering the tortures of death. Detective W. II. Deaver, with the assistance of one ortwo others, picked up the almost lifeless body, broken and mangled in a horrible manner, and removed it to a spot about thirty yards to the right ofthe track and nearly opposite the place where the vic tim had met his fate, and motor man Mitchell came up town for a physician. Dr. J. Ii. Rogers, of Alexander, who was near the place when the accident oc curred, responded, but before he could render any assistance whatsoever, the man had breathed his last. Coroner Ilil liard was next notified, and from that time until his urrival with a jury, large numbers of people, mostly laborers com ing from and going to their homes in the western section of the city, stoped and viewed the remains of the unknown. Many of these pronounced the body to lie that of Andy Boyd, a carenter, who resides on Hildebrand street, and even Dr. Rogers, who said he knew Boyd well, wus satisfied that the corpse was none other. Upon the arrival ofthe coroner und his jury, composed ot Messrs. K A. Hull, R. Loudon, F. L. Saunders, T. J. Wool-1 dridge, J. F. Grant and C. F. Penniman, the body was stripjied, and by the aid of .1 torch-fire, which lent additional weird ncss to the scene, an examination was made. About the bend there were several ghastly wounds, one behind each ear, nnd one over the left eye being the most serious. Both legs had received coin- pound comminuted fractures from the thighs to the ankle on the left, and several contusions about the body were found. In the trousers pocket of the deceased a lime was found, nnd from the outside breast pocket of his coat pieces of glass, forming when whole a whiskey flask, were taken. No letters, books or papers were found upon the body which might in any way lead to the identification of the re mains by the jury or any one of the 300 sjwetators gathered around. The body wns then turned oyer to un- lertaker J. V. Brown for preparation for lurial, and the coroner and his jury came up town to continue the inquest by the examination of witnesses at the coroner's office. Several witnesses weresuinmoned, j sworn ana testinen. Police officer McDowell said that he j hud seen the deceased on the streets be tween 5 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon ; he wns partly drunk, and had been told to get out of town or he would In-placed under urrest. He saw nothing more of leceased until he lieheld his dead bodv. Mr. McDowell identified the body, also, as that of Andy Boyd. Dr. J. E. Rogers testified that the body- was that ot noyd; tne deceased nnd married one of his cousins; deceased was nearly dead when he reached him. He was sure it was Boyd's body he saw. Mr. W. C. Arsell testified that the body- was lying in the railway track when he reached the scene of the accident ; the car was off the track ; a piece of glass caused the wound over the eye ; he protested against the removal of the body liefore I the arrival ofthe coroner; deceased lived about twenty minutes after arrival of ! witness; deceased did not speak at all; deceased's coat was wrapped around his head when witness first saw body, and broken glass, parts of a 1 Kittle, were found on the track where he wns lying, and also in his coat pocket. C. E. Everett and Bob Connelly swore that motor man on car reversed his machine and did all that he could to pre vent the accident ; each smelted fumes of whiskey upon breath of deceased. Motor man William Mitchell, testified that he wus running car No. 1 which ran over the deceased ; headlight was burn ing and he could see the track about twenty-five or thirty feet ahead of him; he saw a man walking towards the car which was coming up Southside avenue, near a curve this side ot the passenger depot ; the man was within six feet of the track, and when the car was within 1 1 Li t i- .1 .1 1 ai Douicigni ivvi 01 me uevcuscu, Liicnoid nn election in Uklahoma City to- deceased throw up one hand and fall di - .iivnnn. h ru,-V- ix-ii nn immpHi. .1. h.i,h li : nis power 10 siup mc car, um in me short distance it was utterly impossible to stop tne car. . ne revcrsa. o. cur- rent threw witness over the front of the car; reversed the current hve notches which caused the car to leave the rails was running ut three notches when first saw the deceased ; I saw the deceas ed lying on the track when I got upon my feet, and at once started for a doctor.

Policeman Bradley found Andy Boyd nt home with his family on Hilde brand street. He was surprised that a eoroner'sjiiry should lie holding an in quest over his supposed dead body, and immediately came to the city to prove to the aforesaid inquest, that he wasn't dead. The proof was satisfactory, and Mr. Boyd was congratulated by coroner Hilliard and each of the jurymen upon his escajie from a verdict of death at their hands. Mr Boyd's daughter, how ever, who lives in another part of the city rode up town on undertaker Brown's wagon, weeping nnd sobbing over the supposed remains of her father inside. When the real Andy Boyd made his ap- liearance matters hecmne fearfully mixed, and the coroner was compelled to again empanel his jury, which he did. Then amc statements from athrongof jieople. some of whom claimed that in the de ceased they recognized n friend named Graham. Another crowd swore that the remains were, when living, one Mr. Pat terson, and so on.

A HEAVY ROBBERY. Bt'RULARS BREAK OPEN A VAII.T DOOR And tleal Fifty-Mine Thousand Dollars, Which Was to Have Been I'sed In fay Iiik OIT Hands The Buriclars Escape. Minneapolis, Minn., September 21. A Secial from Hurley, Wis., says: Every month about this time the Ashland and Germania Iron Mining Company pay off their large forces of employes, and for this purpose Cashier Willey, of the Ash land National Bank, shipied an immense sum of money to Hurley lust night viu the United States Express Company. I'pon the arrival of the money at Hurley, the express company sent it to the Iron Exchange Bank in a wheelbarrow. Be tween the hours of 10.30 and 11.30 last night the bank was entered and the en tire amount of the shipment carried away by robbers. Only minor coin wns left behind. According to Cashier Wiley's state nent, $41,700 was shipped from Ash lund to Hurley. Of this $225,190 was in bank notes, $13,980 in gold, and $2,540 in silver. The roblicrs had their plans laid most lierfectly. Like nearly every bank, the Hurley depositary has a vault and safe inside of it with a time lock. As the money arrived in town at 9.15 p. m., ifter the closing of the bank, it could not be put in the safe. It was placed inside the vault, however, and Cashier Rey nolds remained in the bank, taking care of the large treasure, until 10.15 o'clock, when a friend came along and he went out to the theatre with him. When the cashier returned at 1 1 .30, he noticed that the vault door had been oiened. Look ing inside he was thunderstruck to see that the money was gone. A large num ber of small silver coins were scattered over the floor of the vault and all was confusion. Sheriff Mattson was hurriedly tele graphed to, but did not receive any notice ofthe robliery untill too lute to catch the train for Hurley. Not even the faintest clue was left by the burglars. The door it the vault had not been moved and it was opened bv someone who had learned the combination. There were only two men supposed to lie in possession of it, cashier Reynolds and assistant cashier Leonard rcrring. I lie exact amount stolen was $59,895. The robbers were evidently in too much t a hurry to take the small silver, and $1,805 was left behind. The United States Express Company is the loser of the money. They did not deposit it in the bank, but merely left it there for safe keeping over night, when it would be delivered to consignee, manager M. M, Lyon, of the Ashland nnd Germama mines. It is likely that the express com pany will announce a heavy reward for the apprehension of the burglars. OAKLAND INSTITVTE. Miss Craham, the Principal Ar rives In the City.
