A Daring Bank Robbery.

Villains are becoming bold and sharp.
The Philadelphia Bulletin, of Friday week,
gives detailed account of the successful
robbery of the Kensington Bank, in that
city, the previous night. 1t appears that
on Thursday afternoon, a man dressed in
the uniform of policeman, called at the
bank and asked to see The cashier Mr.. VIM.
Mcconnell He was shown into the cash
ier's room, and there he informed Mr..
Mcconnell that the police had received in
formation that the bank would be robbed
during the night, and he had been detailed
by Lieut. Clarke, of the Tenth District Po-
lice, to caution the officers, and he suggested
that the watchmen should be instructed to
exercise great vigilance. The man then
left. Mr.. Mcconnell then sent for the
watchmen, John Holmes and Thomas Muir
ply. When they appeared, he stated the
case to them, told them to be en- their
guard against everybody, and to shoot down
any person who made any attempt to break
into the premises. The officers and clerks
left the institution when they had settled
up their business for the day, and the watch
men took charge of the building
About hall past seven clock in the eve
ming there was a rap at the door of the
bank. One of the watchmen peeped out
and saw two men dressed as policemen.
They remarked that they had been sent by
Lieut.. Clarke to keep them company
The watchmen, supposing them to be reg
ular policemen, admitted them Shortly
after they had entered. they asked for a
drink of water, and while one watchman
went for the water they gagged and bound
the other, when the other returned they
served him likewise.
Operations were then commenced on the
vaults. The vault containing bonds and
money left on deposit, at owners risk was
opened, and the contents, amounting to
100000 or more, carried away The safe
in which the money of the bank, amounting
TO 81 900, 900 or over, was deposited, resisted
all their efforts to open, consequently the
bank loses nothing.

Michigan has abolished Grand Juries.
The District Attorney almost supplies the
place Of Grand Jury, and when he does not
deem the evidence sufficient on which to
draw the preliminary information, he is re-
qulred TO report the case, with the evidence
to the Circuit Judge. There is one feature
OF this law, no matter what opinion may be
entertained with reference to the abolition
OF Grand JurieS, that will commend itself
to the mind of every man Under cur State
law, prisoner arrested after the aaiour,.

ANOTHER RAILROAD HoRRoR-A most
horrible accident occurred on the Hudson
River Railroad, at New Hamburg, n. Y,
on Monday night, February 9th, under the
| following circumstances As an eastern
bound freight train, consisting of twenty
five cars. containing oil tanks, reached the
bridge, over the creek, at Hamburg, an
ankle broke, and part of the train ran on
to the bridge. Almost at the same moment.
and before signal could be given, the ex-
press train from New York came along at a
speed Of about thirty miles an hour, and
struck the wrecked freight cars with terri
bic force, scattering them in every direction,
and setting them on fire. The engine, two
baggage cars, and several sleeping cars, full
OF passengers, were precipitated from the
bridge into the creek, and soon all were on
fire from the burning oil. a number of the
passengers were burned to death, while
others were drowned, and some perished
from the intense cold. How many persons
were killed in this horrible disaster is not as
yet known, but it will exceed twenty-five.
The scene presented after the occurrence is
described as one of the most heart rending
on record. The disaster is attributed to an
accident, but that there is some one re-
sponsible for the reckless speed of the ex-
press train on its approach to the bridge,
there is no question, and the company
should be held responsible.

equals.

We desire to keep the subject of the
proposed railroad subscription before
our Ohio county readers a few days
longer. The vote will be taken next
Saturday, and it is important that every
taxpayer in this county should on that
day express his opinion at the polls
Ifthe proposition be defeated and the
voters refuse 10 authorize the Board Of
Supervisors to make the subscription
it Is not likely that another chance Of
building a railroad on this side Of the
river, between Wheeling and Pitts
burgh, will be offered during many
years. We want to see full vote on
the question and fair expression OF
public opinion. From all we can learn
at present, the probabilities are that the
proposition will succeed. There is a
strong desire to have the road built, and
a disposition to authorize the Super
visors to subscribe, prOvided they can do
SO in such a manner as to make the in
terests of the county secure. To this
there can be no serious objection urged.
If the subscription is authorized, the
Board Of Supervisors may be safely en-
trusted with the duty of making such a
contract as shall prevent the other par
~ from obtaining any undue advantage
or, in the event of failure to accomplish
this, Withholding the contribution.
With this understanding, the project
will probably receive more than the
necessary three-fifths vote.
