A bold attempt to rob the Trenton
Bank was made this evening. The
burglars entered the bank iu the rear it

watchman was in the bank at dusk aud

gagged the moment he entered the front,
and Bayles was tied and bliudfolded.
A lady passing saw Severn seized and
an unusual movement and gave the alarm
and people rushed into the bank. The
burglars escaped, but their tools were
captured. The greatest excitement pre-

five burglars, and they had with them
heavy timbers, two kegs of powoder and

The scoundrels got into the vault by
prying off the door. The private boxes
were in this vault. The funds of the

Col. A. X. MCCLURE is out as a re-
form candidate for State Senate in the
fourth district, against the regular Re-
publican nominee, Mr. Henry w Gray. If
the Democrats refrain from making a
nomination, the contest between the can,
didates-both professedly Republican
cannot fail of being interesting and warm.
Should the Democrats execute flank
movement and glide out of the dilemma,
by making a nomination, the result of
the election to be held next Tuesday can
easily be foretold. The Democrats of
this community, as far as heard from,
favor Col Mcclure, and, as a general
rule, the Republicans of this community
are cautious and quiet on the subject
1t is proper for Republicans at this
distance to pursue such course. As the
public understands it now, it is a ques-
