BANK ROBBERY.

WINTHROP, Me-, July 23.-The robbery Of
the Winthrop National Bank was a bold
operation. The safes were blown open by
nitro-glvcerine it is supposed, there being no
indication of powder. There We're three dis
tinct eXplosiops, all of which were heard by
several persons. The robbers left within ten
minutes of the last explosion, which was so
severe as to blow out all the windows in the
front part of the bank and cause general
smash up inside.
1t is thought the amount realized by the
robbers could not have been large. The
capital stock of the bank is 500, 000 The
safes of the National Bank and the Savings
Bank were rified of their contents. The
standing Of the bank, the directors say, will
not be impaired.
A dispatch says four men have been ar
rested on suspicion, near Bethel. As the dis
lance from here is about forty miles, it is
doubtful if they could have got so far in the
time they have had.

Cigar Manufacturers Protective
Association.

A meeting of cigar manufacturers was held
on Wednesday at the mandatory of Messrs
S. Hernsheim & Bro, u Graveir street.
Mr.. Isidore Hernsheim called the meeting
to order and stated the object of the same.
1t seems that in the North the manufac-
turers of cigars have always used twenty-five
pounds of tobacco fora thousand cigars, and
on this basis paid duty to the internal revenue.
In the South, where different grades of
cigars are manufactured, the manufacturers
always counted thirty pounds of tobacco for
one thousand cigars and paid duty accord
ingly.
Two years ago the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue at Washington issued an order fly
ing twenty-five pounds of tobacco as the
standard basis, of which, however, no notice
was given to Southern manufacturers.
A short time ago the Commissioner in
Washington issued an order that the manu-
facturers in New Orleans should pay special
tax for any excess over twenty-five pounds TO
the thousand cigars used during the last year,
payable in ten days. This would amount to
about $40, 900, or from $1,000 to $4,000 to the
single manufacturer
The object OF the meeting was to organize
and take some steps to contest this special
tax
Inc uee1nS organized INTO d OlSaI MaHu-
facturers Protective Convention by electing
the following officers:
Mr.. Isidore Hernsheim President; Mr.. j.
R Sarrazn, Secretary and MIR. NJ Requielmi,
Treasurer; and then adjourned to Thursday
afternoon at P. Nj.
Yesterday afternoon a resolution was passed
that committee of five should wait upon
Collector John Cockrem with q view of obtain
ing respite of thirty days, during which time
the case could be laid before the commissioner
in Washington, and his intention being ascer-
tanned if he will insist upon the payment OF
the special tax.
The committee consists of Messrs. Isidore
Hernsheim, F. Beling, NJ. Requielmi, J. M.
Villa and j. r. Sarrazin.

ton of membership will be open at MIR. ]. r.

GOLD FROM SWEEPINGS.
How it is Extracted.

Nothing more plainly indicates the wonder
full divisibility of matter than the remarkable
and almost impalpable fneness into which
gold is reduced. In jewelry manufactures it
floats in the air, swept out in the dust of the
shops, and some mixes even with the cinders.
For many years it was not considered worth
while to attempt the recovery of this waste,
but some years since large assay and refining
house was opened in New York to which
jewelers. sweepings and waste were sent, and
the gold reclaimed
1t was found to pay a handsome profit for
the labor REQ 1ired, and other establishments
soon sprung up. The jewellers of our city
York, but now, thanks to the industry of Mr..
John Henry, an assay and refining Office has
been opened here. A representative of the
BULLETIN made an inspection of his estab-
lishment, at No. 127 Gravier street, and was
amply repaid by the sight of the several
manipulations the refuse material goes
through before the glittering metal is OBJ
tanned.
On the lower floor are two large crushing
mills with huge revolving rollers, into which
the matter containing the gold, be it the
quartz rock or store sweepings, is put, with a
large quantity of quicksilver. The null is
then set in motion, and as fast as the gold is
exposed it is absorbed by the mercury After
some twenty-fou hours of grinding the mass
is washed, and only the quicksilver con-
tanning the gold remains. By a simple yet
beautiful process they are separated and the
gold turned out. A number of gold and
silver bars were exhibited, the product of
the litter about watchmakers' shops. From
the lower floor to upstairs all the arrange
ments are perfect, and this new industry here
promises to become an important one.
