Heavy Bank Robbery.

LOUISVILLE, September SIT is now
ascertained that the total amount stolen
from +. B. Hancock's bank at Greenville,
KY, uccording to the COtlrier-JournaFS re-
port, is $34, AGO, us follows: U. s. bonds
$25, 900, legal tenders $4,000, fractional
currency $4,000, and gold 81 ,46O.
The Evening Ledger says the robbery
was effect ID on Sunday about midnight,
and Is believed to have been done by ex-
perts from the skillful way in which they
conducted 1t. Mr., Hancock entered the
bank on Monday morning, and had scarce.
" gone in before he noticed the doors Of
the safe standing open. On examining
further he found that the lock hadNbeen
sprung and the contents removed. In;
yestigation into the affair proved
that burglars had been around.
A transom door opening into the street
was found open. Two chairs were drawn
up In front OF the safe and left In that
position, showing that the thieves had
taken time in doing the work, Tracks
were found near the corner Of the house,
where It Is supposed one OF the party
stood while the others secured the funds
of the establishment. Facts 60 TO show
that three men were engaged in the rob
berry. Strong suspicion Is attached TO
three strangers who had been seen lolter-
Ing around the town few days before.
These parties were noticed especially at
that time by the son OF Mr.. Hancock, who
Ia Of the opinion that he would know
them again II he should see them. They
appeared to be an idling SeL Of wan
derers. Nothing, 30 far as We have been
able to learn, has been heard Of them
since that time, and It Is now believed
that when seen they were engaged in
connecting plan for the robbery, which
was afterwards effected. Mr.. Hancock
had been In the banking business for
several years, and was considered honOra'
bic and reliable. lie transacted the
greatest part Of his business himself, and
there could have been no possible
chance for any one connected with the In
slitution TO hrye committed the robbery,
as the deposits amounted to nothing Of
any consequence, and as Mr.. Hancock
has competency, the loss falls only on him
self lie Is still regarded as able to meet
the liabilities, and his bapker's here signi.
fed to him their willingness to fill any
check for him that he might present.
The event caused great excitement Id the
vincinity where, Il occurred, and steps
have been taken to secure the robbers.
II Is not believed as has been suggest
ed BY some that the James, or Younger
brothers had anything to do with the
Transaction.

Opening tho Exhibition.

CINICNNArf, September 'S.-The sixth
annual Industrial Exposition opened
this evening with great promise. The
formal exercises occurred at 8 p. NJ, but
for two hours previous, the buildings
were thronged with people. The general
display shows a marked advance In the
artistic arrangement Of wares, over
previous years, and the exhibitors have
been unusually active in their prepara-
tionS. As a consequence there are more
complete depar .Inents than at any previ-
OTIS exposition. The horticultural hall
Is much finer than ever before, and the
large extra premiums offered In this de
parlment are expected to prompt exhibit
tors to produce series Of very fine dis

Special Dispatch to tho Cincinnati Gazette.
HUNTINGTON, W. Va, September IL
OF those who went out after the daring
bank robbers, two have returned. The
rest Of the party, composed Of about it'
teen Of the best men in the county, con.
tinued the pursuit. When last heard
from they had crossed The Big Sandy at
Bears creek, with the robbers about half
an hour in advance. It's now very Ger.
tain that tho robbers have been perfect.
Ing their plans for six months or
more. They were more thoroughly &c.
quaintcd with the country over which
they Travelled than those who had
lived all their lives among the mountains,
passing over the mountains and through
cuts and creeks that were supposed by the
inhabitants to be utterly impassable.
They captured n man about ten miles out,
and compelled him to continue with them
for an hour. They expressed their deter.
minntion to die fighting, and left messages
Of defiance all along the route to those
following. They rode Kentucky thor.
oughbred horses, which were reported ap.
parently fresh after their thirty.mile ride
over tho mountains, during which no 70.
gard was paid to the regular road. II Is
evident they were hard pressed, but to
such reckless dare.devils such scrupeS are
very enjoyable.
They threw away $50 in nickels, and a
draft for $4,000. From the information
gathered, II Ia probable that two Of them
are the famous Underwoods, for whom
the State Of Kentucky offers $4,000, dead
or alive. The people here are utterly as.
founded, and can scarcely realize that
such a daring robbery could be commit
ted, right before their eyes, at MONDAY.

that itmight not consume, waste or rust

was unvarying in value, in order that it
might serve us true measure OF all 9TH
er values. And how does 1t come
to be Of unvarying value? Why,
in this way: Because the average

the earth does not change. Men dig for
days for a very small amount Of it-a
mere nothing in quantity, II this were
not the case, II it cost as little labor to
make gold dollar Us 1t does to make a
paper dollar, gold would lose its value as
a standard Of value for all other values
throughout the world,
AS showing that gold and paper are
vastly different in their relations, we will
take the case Of the Spanish American
States that are constantly in a state OF rev.
olution, always overthrowing and chang.
Ing their governments, Their gold dol.
lars are good the world over, while
their paper is worthless at home,
And when our own country was plunged

value of its gold coins never changed
