NATH'L RANDALL.

In these days of distress and
financial panic much is required of
parties in positions to set good exam
pies. The wealthy should refrain
from making an undue parade of their
wealth. The human race is an imita.
tive one, and much of the misery and
crime that shook society is caused by
the overweening ambition of one fam
lily to appear as well as another. There
is another class to which our sugges.
ton applies, the class who have held
position in society, and who have
not the present means to support it I;
the temptation to be extravagant is
greater with this class than the really
wealthy, and when they fall, public
sympathy is measured out in the pro
portion with which they have ap.
peared in true or false colors. ANY
attempt at parade or notoriety in the
extravaganza Of dress, the giving of
parties, etc, is, under existing circum-
stances reprehcnslble in the extreme.
The necessity exists now if ever it
did for people to return to simple hab.
its. The late Mr.. Beebee remarked
three years ago, II foresee difficulty
that Is to grow out Of this lndiscrim-
mate extravaganza, this emulation on
the part Of one class to appear az well
rs another, and also toresee that the
only remedy that can be applied, when
the crisis comes, as it surely will, is to
return to that simplicity which pre-
vailed when parties who are now
wealthy wer" laying the foundations
ior their fortunes "

CENTENNIAL The centennial cele-

CENTENNIAL The centennial cele-
bration and exposition, to come off
the coming season in Philadelphia, is
an event in which every American
cannot fail to feel both an interest and
pride. Its great success is already
assured. Every state i'll the Union
will be generously represented there
by the products of its skill and labor.
Every foreign nation, having any sta
tus in the family Of states, will exhibit
its handiwork in no meagre measure.
We are pleased to see that Vermont
is arousing to the Importance of the
occasion, and that her towns, both
large and small, are already, in many
sections, making active efforts to Sc
cure for her respectable standing by
the side of her sister states in this
great national exposition The ladies
of the state, for the present are the
prime movers in the work. Mrs. j.
Gregory Smith, of Saint Adams, IS
the state manager for Vermont, and
the county manager for this county is
Mrs Charles p. Marsh of this town.
Some time during the present month,
probably during the last week of the
month, an entertainment will be held
at the Town Hall in this village, un-
der the auspices of the ladies here, to
raise funds to contribute to this ma
tional enterprise. Success to it.
Mrs. Mary Francis Card to her
creditors and the public may be found

OF Roselle. The detached cars stopped,
and second oil train, ran into them, in
n fog, near tie depot. The locomotive
was disabled, and the caboose and three
oil ears were thrown off the track, took
fire, and four cars, the caboosc and
wooden tank were consumed. The oil in
three other cars burned so iierccly that
trains could not pass. One train, in the
attempt to run by, was blisterel and
nearly fired by the intense heat. Wreck
ing trains were endeavoring 10 throw the
blazing oil cars down the embankment.

TIE TRAIN ROBBERY.
Tie Coniesslon Of Kemy.

'Sr. LOUIS, August l2.-Chief OF Police
McDonough, at a late hour tonight, gave
out the confession oil Hobbs Kerry, the
Otteryille train robber, and II will be pub.
lished tomorrow. II is quite lengthy
document, hnt the essential facts are that
Kerry, Frank and Jessie James, Cole and
Bud Younger, Gale Miller, Charles Pitts
and William Chadwell constituted the
gang that robbed the train, and that
Kerry got 81 200 OF the swag.
1t appears that the train was not
robbed In accordance with previously
concerted plan, but the party had been
riding over u large extent OF country
without finding anything particular to
do, and finally concluded 10 attack this
train, acting apparently more from. im-
pulse than anything else. Kerry was not
u regular member Of the gang. but had
been with them during their raid through
the country, was present at the robbing OF
the train, and shared the spoils. Il also
appears the police authorities here had
information early in June last, that the
Youngers, Jameses, and other members
Of the band contemplated robbing bank
al CRANKY, in Southwest Missouri, and
officers were sent there from here. This
project was abandoned, however, and the
officers returned. AS soon as the robbery
OF the train occurred, Chief McDonough
felt certain il was done by this gang, and
he Immediately sent officers 10 Cranky,
Joplin and other places, and the arrest
OF Kerry and Bruce Younger was the re-
suit. McDonough had intercepted let
ter written by Kerry to one Of the band,
and 1t was through this letter that he ex.
tracted the confession from him.
All the parties mentioned above have
been indicted dbY the grand jury OF Cooper
county, but whether any vigorous meas.
ures will>be taken 10 arrest them is not
known. There is no official advices ol
the capture Of Chadwell and Pitts, and
the officers here do not put much reliance
in the reports to that effect.
The confession gives description OF
the robbery Of the train, which is essen
TALLY the same as heretofore published:
Also, the movements Of the robbers for
some time previous to the attack on the
train, and their course TO where the
booty was divided, making quite a cir
account Of all their proceed
ings.
