Hub Saloon, 294 West M Madison street,
where the arrests were made, and Jack
Hughes alias j. Smith an old counter
feiter connected with the notorious
Ben Boyd. These men have been
Swallowed since the attempt was made
to despoil the tomb, and their guilt is
said to be plainly proven The off,
GERS will take them to Springfield, this
evening, to await indictment and trial.

remains was to secure a large ransom
for them, and to obtain the release OF
Ben Boyd. the noted counterfeiter, in

him out In order to make more eoun-
terfelt money for them. They did
not expect arrest or detection, suppos-
ing the monument was not guarded.

DEATH OF EDWIN ADAMs.-A re
port of the death of Mr.. Edwin Adams
the tragedian, which appears to be
credited by his friends, comes from
Melbourne, Australia. Mr.. Adams
left New York under an engagement
to act iu Australia, early last summer !;
he first went to Sydney, and reached
Melbourne some months later. 1t is
not likely that he acted in Australia at
ALL Edwin Adams was born in Med
ford, Massachusetts,, in 1884, and had
been upon the stage since 1858. His
advance in his profession was rapid,
for he was in all respects fitted for the
stage. In figure he was tall and i'm
posing; his featuaes were expressive
and pleasing; his voice was strong aud
be was also gifted with dramatic in
stinct and insight into character.

Stormy Europe.

LONDON, Nov. l6.-The Globe this
afternoon announced that it hears from,
trustworthy but unofficial source that
Il battallions Of infantry, seven resi-
ments OF cavalry and 80 guns have al
ready been selected as the first British
force for the east, should the govern
ment consider their services necessary
for the protection of British interests.
The Pail Mall Gazette, this after
noon, states that up to this morning
the Porte's objections to the conference
had not been removed. The samr
journal, in leading editorial, says it
believes Russia intends war. She is
prepared to insist. upon the claims
which she believes the Porte will re-
fuse, and is getting ready to impose
them by force. The situation, it says.
is but little different from what it
would be if for the word "arpistice''
the words Russian demands OF re-
form" were submitted, and the igna-
tieff ultimatum thus modified were still
lying before the Porte.

The Minnesota Bank Robbers.

FAIRBAULT, Mimi, Nov. 14.--The
District Court met here to-day, Judge
Lond presiding. At this term the
guilt or innocence Of the Younger
Brothers, the Mortified Bank rob-
bers, will be passed upon. The pros
poets are that the trial will be long
one. This morning has been taken up
with the polling of the Grand Jury.
The prosecution will will be conducted
by County Attorney Gerge N. Baxter,
who was faithful leader in the chase
after the robbers, and Attorney Cen
eral George p Wilson. The Younger
boys have retained as counsel Thomas
Rutledge, of Matilda; and George W.
Batchelor and T. g. rnkham, of this
city, to conduct their defense. The
fight was commenced this morning in
the challenging Of the Grand Jurors
The defense will endeavor to throw
out of the jury all of the Mortified
men. and reduce the body as small as
possible. The District attorney will
present to the jury four indictments.
Some twenty witnesses will have a
hearing The first Indictment will be
for the murder Of Joseph L. Haywood,
the second for the murder of the
Swede, Nichols lGustavson, the third
for assault with intent to do great bod
lily harm to A. b, Bunker. and the
fourth for the robbery. Ali three will
be indicted jointly. 1t is probable that
the prisoners will plead not guilty.
Cole says he is willing to plead guilty
to robbery, but not murder. A wit
ness named as French is prepared to
testify that the shot which killed the
Sweee, Gustavson, was fired by Cole
Younger. The second bill of indict-
ment, already drawn, so charges. The
ball back of Coles eye is not apparent,
and does not trouble him. Bob under
went the operation of having the arm
which was stiff from the wound re-
ceived at Mortified and promised to
cripple him for life, broken and again
set. He is doing we'll now. The
prisoners will not plead until Saturday,
and the attorneys have agreed to pro-
ceed with the case on Monday. There
is no excitement here.

The Bronze Bust of Greeley.

CaverIy, the soul ptor, has completed
the bronze bust of Greeley to be erect
ed over his grave 1t will be unveiled
Dec. 4, the anniversary of his burial.
The veteran journalist, Mr.. Thurlow
Weed, who is chairman of the Memo
rial Association, is expected to preside,
and the address will be delivered by
Bayard Taylor. The Rev. DR.. Chap
in will conduct the religious ceremo.
nies, and Mr. E. G. Steadman will

Governor of New York, the Mayors of
New York and Brooklyn, the surviv-
ing relatives of Mr.. Greeley, the edi-
tors of the leading rapers of New York
and Brooklyn, and many prominent
citizens and editors in other States;
also to the officers of the International
Typographical Union, the President of
the New York Primers Union, and to
the printers generally of New York.
The bust is Of colossal size. and is
the work of Charles CaIverly, Of New
York: whose bust of John Brown at .
tracted so much attention at the Cen
tennial Exposition. 1t is pronounced
by those who have seen it, among them
members of Mr.. Greeley's family and
his most intimate friends, to be a
truthful and life-like reproduction of
the features of the great editor The
base which is already in position over
the grave, is of Maine granite. There
will be bronze tablets upon all sides of
the base. One side will be a plow
imbedded in the furrow, indicative of

agricultural pursuits. On the opposite
side will be representation of quill,
Illustrative Of his profession. Still
another tablet will represent Mr.. Gree
ley as a journeyman printer setting
type at an old-fashioned frame, while
a piece of copy on the hook bears the
date of his arrival in New York to look
tor work as journeyman printer. On
the front of the base will be a tablet
bearing the following inscription:
HORACE GREELEY
Born February 8, 1911.
Died November 20, 1872.
Founder of the
New York Tribune
All of these tablets are in bas relief
and are creditable to the artist.
The total cost Of the monumunt will
be between $4,000 and $4,000, all of
which has been subscribed by compos
itors throughout the country, few en-
ploying printers in New York, and a
few other admirers of Horace Gre ly.

"HOId the Fort"

Seeing by a paper that Moody and
Sankey, the great revivalists, are going
to your city, [ think history, as |
head it from General Sherman, OF
their famous hymn. "Hold the Fort, y
will be en- rcgze. During the terrible
march to Atlanta, in the course of
which the command was under fire for
one hundred days, portion of the ad-
vance guard under Colonel Tourtelotte
took possession of the Pass of Alatoona
and held it, while the rebels, like
grey-crested waves, surged III vain
against the little force arrayed behind
the breastworks hastily thrown up to
meet the emergency. Shot and smoke,
sword-fash and death, charge and
deadly grapple filed up the long hours
until it seemed that onr men must give
up from sheer exhaustion and reauc-
ton, for the earthworks had been
thickened by their dead. The wild
grey waves still rolled up the pass with
their crest of steel and fire, and ''no
help came out Of the west" Colonel
Tourtelotte saw the bitter need, and
here, there and everywhere encouraged
the soldiers to hold out. Suddenly a
courier dashed in among them with
the message from General Sherman,
"Hold the fort, for [ am coming"
The scorched and exhausted men stood
aud shouted The army came up, and
the dying in the bright morn of victo-
ry forgot their dread of the dark valley
toward which they were fastening; the
wounded hushed their means, and the
strong men hurrahed until the skies
were filled with the sound thereof.
Alatoona Pass, the gate of the sea, was
saved; they had fought the good fight,
kept the faith their General reposea in
them, and had finished their course.
Moody and Sankey have with great
skill wrested the fne incident to a
spiritual meaning, and the hymn is a
ringing, stirring, religious poem as well
as the celebration Of historical tact

Frank Moulton has stepped down
and out" of the Beecher case. The
change of venue to Delaware county,
secured by the defense, rendered the
expense too heavy for Moulton, it is
said; but the damage to Tilton's char
acter: in the late sleeping-car scandal,
and the probability of jury of plain,
honest people, who would scan Tilton
and Moulton's testimony very closely,
probably had their effect. The track
was little too fresh for Frank.
