John Robinson's Circus Company Fired into at
Crttendcn, ky.-Jamcs Robinson killed.
Shortly after | o'clock this morning, a
messenger arrived from Crittenden, Ky,
which is - miles back Of Covington, ON the
Lexington pike, with the information that
James Robinson, the managing man Of the
concern, had been killed, and that two or
three others had been, il is supposed, NOR
tally wounced. The particulars of the af-
fair, as obtained from the messenger, are as
follows:
About s o'clock party Of seven men rode
mp 10 the entrauce Of the canvass, and after
dismounting, demanded admittance. The
doorkeeper refused 10 allow them the priv
ilege of passing in, stating that they must
first procure tickets. They refused to COM
ply with the request, and each pulling a
seven-shootcr fired promiscuously into the
interior, through the canvass. II is estimat-
ed that forty-nine shots were fired. James
Robinson, OF this city, the business manager
Of the concern. was killed, and two Of the
performers, whose names were unknown to
our informant, were badly wounded. Some
persons in the audience were also wounded.
The murderers, after committing their work
Of destruction, jumped on their horses and
made off.

TREASURE BENEATH THE SEA.

The English Western Morning Ncus says:
Upward of eighty years ago, in the winter
Of IVA, a vessel bound from Spain was to-
tally lost, with her entire crew, by being
driven, IN n stormy night, on the rocks at
Gunwallee, in Mounts Bay. The vessel was
known TO have a large amount Of specie on
board in Spanish pillar dollars, and ever
since, after violent gales, dollars have been
picked up in the neighborhood Of the wreck.
Two or three companies have been formed
for recovering the bulk of the silver, which
is known 10 lie deposited within a very cir
cumscribed area but the undertakings were
not vigorously pursued, and after a time
were abandoned. One of these parties, many
years since, attempted 30 recover the treasure
by means Of sinking a shaft in the rock in
shore, and driving an edit fran its bottom
seward, to get under the spot where it was
supposed the hull Of the vessel lay imbedded
in sand, single, dc, but this was abandoned
without result Lately company has been
formed, and they have decided on making
another attempt They have communicated
with the Admiralty, and received formal
permission 10 prosecute the work, and this
summer they hope TO secure the long-coveted
silver.
Mr.. John Toy went last week with two
men 10 the place, which ever since the
wreck has borne the name Of Dollar Cove,
and the tide being low, they proceeded 10
clear up the mouth Of the old shaft. 1t was
filled in 10 a depth of about six feet with
large powders and shingles, and they had
not worked long before they picked up
eight dollars Two or three were bright
ly secured by the sand, while others have
sand SO firmly attached 10 them that it
would be difficult TO separate the coins from
IT. Some bear the dates of 1882 and 1893,
and others are older, while the dates on
some are quite eligible. The presumption
Is, that this winter these have all been thrown
up, with probably thousands of others which
had not had their way into the little open
ing Of the shaft While Mr.. Toy was en-
gagged in the clearing operation, Il boy, who
has picked up some dollars since Christmas
was on the rocks and saw n dollar thrown
mp by wave, but before he could reach the
rocks a receding wave washed IL out again.
After heavy weather from the South and
West dollars are often found on the beach
and rocks; very likely box or package
which contained portion is disturbed and
knocked TO pieces, and its contents scattered
about. The shaft is about five hundred
yards west Of Gunwallee Church, from which
it is separated by towan and ledge of rocks.
Apart from the financial success Of the spec
ulation the progress of the new company
will oc watched with interest.

RORRERIES RY RAILROAD CON-
s.f-.. .-.. DVCEORS. ltt.st Ut

1t will be recollected that, some six or
seven years ago, the fast style Of living in
vogue with certain conductors on The Penn
sylvania Railroad attracted the attention
Of the officials of the company. l. puzzled
their arithmetic to understand how an en-
ployee Of the road, at q salary Of $50 per
month, could live at the rate of S., COO or
SO. 000 per year; how they could board at
first class hotels, or keep up an establish
ment in Pittsburgh or Philsdelphia both, to
say nothing of fast horses, fast women, the
destinations of cards, and the luxury of
choice wines. An investigation by shrewd
detectives solved the mystery to the salts
faction of the officers Of the road, that the
difference between salary aud expenditure
came out of the treasury of the company,
he delinquent employees running on the
compsny's trains, it appeared, an oppo-
sition, carry ing passengers lower than the
regular tariff en- the road, and strange
enough neglectipg to, make returns, Of their
receipts. There were great many funny
stories at the time, current, as to the cool
ness with which the, detected conductors
took the exposure. They were all dis
charged from the service of the company,
but no criminal prosecutions Instituted.
Some months ago the officers of the same
company had their suspicious aroused by
the falling off in receipts, that this system
Of depicting the treasury Of the company
Sad been reinaugurated by conductors
whose fast manner Of living demonstrated
that their financial resources must be far
beyond the limits of tie not very extrava
CANT salary of one hundred dollars per
month. AS usual, in all SUCH eases, con-
tinued success made the fast ones less
cautious in their mode of operations and led
them into all sorts of expenditures beyond
the limits Of their salaries-thus Jafousing
suspicion against themselves. The matter
was placed in the hands Of Pinkerton, the
noted Chicago detective, to "wolk up"
and tmake out case" against the suspect.
ed parties. Accordingly, Pinkerton. aided
by q shrewd corps Of subordinatss,. set to
work to solve the mystery. They were the
6: shadows" of the fast conductors at all
places and at all times-on the road aud off
the road 1t took some time to DO it, but
finally the detectives obtained indisputable
evidence that. eight Of the conductors were
netting handsome dividends by the coIlec-
tion Cof way fares, (neglecting, Of course,
TO pay the. same over.) and by other means
