AuIonoeeut Bank Cashier.

An old trick of bank robbers, but FOL
the merest accident, would recently
have proved successful at Portland
Maine. At eleven o'clock in the fore
noon a fashionably sttired young man
entered the counting room Of the Cum.
berlsnd National Bank, and presented
the cashier with . roll OF bills contain
ing, as be said, 1900, for the purpose,
as he also intimated, Of having the
same deposited to his account. The
cashier Immediately began the work OF
counting and while so occupied, having
heard a slight noise, looked up in time
to see that another fashionaoly
attired yomng man was Crawling
over the counter" on his way
to the vault. The cashier must have
become powerless from the shock at
the display OF 30 much audacity, for 1t
appears that instead OF instantly selz'
ing the intruder he merely demanded to
know his object, and allowed him to 60
on, being assured he was endeavorlpg
to discover the whereabouts of a mis-
sing dog" The counting process hav-
ing resulted in the discovery that the
roll only contained 1896, young man
number one, was also permitted to 60,
upon assuring this most trusting OF
cssbiers that "he would Immediately
proceed to the place at which he had
obtained the money, and have the mis-
take corrected" Innocence is cheap IN

cut. The accident occurred on Satur.
day, and on Friday Dr.. Hoys, an as
sistant teacher, and a man OF medical
attalnments, remarked to q fellow
teacher: II have dreamed two nights
in succession that three OF our
boys were drowned. 1t is very fool
ish to speak of it, but somehow it
haunts me, and please have a care to
the boys when on the water" Satur
day morning, he remarked to Mr..
Farnham, who was to head the party
to Peach Island, "Farnham look out
Tor the boys, for somehow cannot rid
myself OF that presentiment" When
Charles hite, the fret boy who reached
the house Saturday night, came in

ed "How bad is it? Who was drown

A Fight with Thieves.

CHICAGO, June 16.-An exciting en-
counter between the police and three
desperate burglars, took place at five
o'clock this morning. The thieves came
from Milwaukee, leaving the train be-
fore it reached the depot. The officers
had been telegrsphed to and not finc-
ing them at the depot as expected
made search and overlook them. The
thieves drew revolvers and fired several
times, the officers doing the same. One
OF the gang, John Allen, q notorious
desperate who was wounded some time
ago bv a citizen and afterwards escaped
from jail, was shot through the lungs,
and is now dying. Another. named
Raggilo, was wounded and the third
escaped. Valuable booty was found IN
their trunks.
A policeman fired three shots at an
other thief this morning before stop.

AHiut for the Grand Army.

At Mobile, the other day-Decoratlon
Day-.he soldier friends OF the Norsh>
srn dead were holding ceremonies over
their graves. During the services, an
EXQUISITE wreath OF blue and gray flow
ers was sent to the officer in charge,
with this simple comment: THE Mo-
bile Cadets OF the Confederate Army
honor the memory OF those who, though
their enemies in war. were men and
brave enough to do their duty" Then
the leader Of the Federal decorations
said felicitously:
1T is q graceful offering OF peace and
good will. and / proudly embrace the
opportunity for the speechless dead
around us, and in behalf Of their sur
viving comrades, to grasp the hand
that brought it 10 like token OF oul

their fallen comrades sleep the sweet
sleep of the heroic. Though our enc.
mics in war let the manhood and

AN OVERNIGHT.

The city council of Charleston see mi
TO have overlooked heretofore the 44tf
section OF the 9th article Of the new
constitution, and the discovery oi tha
fact may lead to some confusion. Th'
section in question provides that In
all elections to office which may here
after take place in any county or NUM-
oipal body, the vote shall be viva roes
and be entered on its journals" ln ig'
norsnce Of this requirement, the coun
Gil has heretofore elected by secret bal
lot q City Solicitor, Assessor, Overseel
of the Poor, and the entire number o
policemen thought necessary iol
the preservation Of the peace
These officers nave been dis
charging official duties ever since
their uncon nstitutional election. They
have had a sort of de facto authority
though, now that the error has been
discovered, their places will be declared
vacant and new elections will be held
in the manner prescribed in the constr
tuition.
. The circumstances which led the
city council OF Charleston to the discov-
a., of their former errors, were the elec-
ton Of a negro policeman a few days
ago and the prompt resignation OF the
City Sergeant and the entire police
force-except the negro. While dello-
Grating what to do in this emergency
the Mayor CHANGED to light upon the
constitutional provision quoted abov e
and astonished the council by
bringing it to the attention OF
the members. What will be done in
the police dilemma. whether the coun-
ell will hold on to the negro and try to
get other white men to fill the places
of the indignant "cops;" or whether
they will organize a force the color OF
whose skins as well as of their coats
shall be uniformed; we are not yet In
formed.
Happily, the constitutional provision
which was overlooked in Charleston
has been observed and obeyed here. All
OF the elections Of officers by the city
council have been vira voc:, and We be-
lieve that the County Boari Of
Commissioners has followed the same
rule. 1t is quite possible, hoW-
ever, that the matter has failed to re-
ceive notice in other counties, and, 1t so
this publication will probably lead to
correction of the error.

Tho Latest Royal Scandal

Notwithstanding the efforts OF the
late Prince Albert and his estimable
wife, Victoria, to rear their family in
moral courses, their boys have not
been proof against the temptations that
allure metropolitan youths from the
paths OF virtue. Wales has become
quite celebrated for bis little derelictions
and even the hopeful Arthur has had
some ugly stories told about him. 1t
how appears that the Queens son'in'law
Frederick William, has had his good
manners corrupted by the evil commu.
nications of bis fast brother-in.law,
Wales. Not long after his marriage
the Crown Prince attended a popular
ball and fell in love with "a dashing,
spirited beauty, a dark blonde,of slender,
graceful form, an expressive, vivacions
countenance and engaging man ners," "
aged twenty, by name Pauline Welgel
and by occupation a milliner. The
Crown Princess heard OF Pauline, and
thereupon there was row in the royal
household OF Prussia. Prince Albert,
then alive, hurried to Berlin and effect
ed a reconciliation on the strength OF a
promise from the Crown Prince to be-
have himself in the future. But the
high spirited Pauline would not let go
her hold, and 30 the gallant Prince, be-
fore whom the armies OF France were
to shake in their boots, found himself
still in the tolls of the pretty milliner
In the course OF time Pauline fonnd
herself the mother ofseveral little strays
who might have been princes il they
had had the full benefit of clergy.
After the death OF his son Sigismund,
the Crown Prince determined to reform,
and informed Pauline that they must
part. Pauline threatened to commit
suicide, and the tender hearted
prince again yielded, but visited
her more rarely. Last November,
however, the Crown Prince called on
Miss WeigeI and told her that one
Henry Pelzer, one Of his retainers,
would be ready 70 marry her at given
time, that he would set them upin bus
iness, and would donate to Henry the
little family he had bestowed upon her.
Miss Pauline invited the Prince 10 take
q parting cup Of tea, and when he
reached the royal palace in his hack be
was found to be seriously i'll with all
the symptoms Of poison. The doctor
was called 10, emetics were freely used
and fatal consequences were avoided
but some months elapsed before he en-
tirely recovered During his illness the
Prince told his father how it was, and
as the old Emperor bad once been

how It was himself At all events tht
