How a Bank Cots Its Money Back.

Bank officers have reasonable excuse for
being nervous after reading the accounts given
Of the robbery Of the First National Bank Of
dollars in notes and bonds were mysteriously
distracted. and while the officers and account
ants were pulling their wits to find clue to
the robbers note was received intimating that
the holder of the money would return the
officer was to be in certain street in
New York at a time named, when a person
would appear authorized to negotiate for the
thieves. Accordingly the officer went to New
York. and was standing at the corner of Broad
ed him and said; You are from Cortland. In
fifteen minutes man will come along wear
leg silk hat. a snutf-colored coat, and blue
necktie follow him, and you will hear of some-
thing to your advantage" And sure enough
the man appeared. and the officer followed him,
the person leading him to gambling house.
Here the negotiations were conducted Notes
and bills stolen from the bank were exhibited
to the bank officer. He was told the thieves had
spent forty thousand dollars already. and a
further sum must be allowed them. The nego-
tiations were not at once concluded, but while
pending the bank officer was made the guest of
the negotiator, who entertained him in princely
style. took him out driving behind spanking
pair of trotters that gave their heels to Wander
bilts famous pair in race from Harlem Bridge
into the city and gave him a chance to see all
the notable sights of the metropolis.
Finally the negotiation was effected. the bank
recovering all the notes and bonds beyond the
sum agreed upon as the spoil of the robbers.
The officer was cheered by the information that
the same gang had robbed the Canandaigua
the same fashion. The robbery was committed
in broad daylight and during business hours !;
and that was all the information the bank off,

Transportation Of Grain by River.
The Kansas Citv Times SAWS.

But for the river the sale aud shipment Of
Western corn would be at standstill for the
winter The Eastern railroad lines have fixed
their rates so as to rob the corn growers of the
West, and If they had no river outlet the latter
would be compelled to submit to the robbery or
hold their corn until lake navigation opens in
the spring The river opens way to market.
however and the st. Louis barge lines are max
ing money hand over fist" by taking corn to
New Orleans for 8 cents bushel. The
illinois Central, with. barge line from
Cairo to New Orleans. Is also carrying large
amounts of corn southwark, and the railway
magnates of the East are beginning to be
alarmed lest their exorbitant rates should es-
tablish river trade and a new route to Europe
which will forever deprive them of the power to
dictate terms to Western shippers. AS COM
bination is so fashionable among carriers. it is
about time the grain firms of Kansas City were
entering into combination to send out a few
tows of grain from the Missouri river Just
now the barge lines from st. Louis and Cairo
have about all they can do, with engagements
for weeks and perhaps months ahead. But an
accumulation of half a million bushels Of corn
in the Kansas City elevators would offer an
engagement that would bring the necessary
TRANSPORTATION to US. TowboHts can be picked
up anywhere and the barges would be found.
All that is needed is DISPOSE ion on the part of
our grain men to stand together in the matter,
and protect each other from any combinations
bv the railroads against the dealers who furnish
grain to the boats.

The Lega, Tender Law.

The New Yerk Bulletin contains letter from
Mr. Edward Atkinson, prominent lawyer Of
Boston, who announces thata suit is now pend
ing, and win presently come to trial in the Su-
preme Court of Massachusetts. in which the
question Of the legality of the reissue Of legal
tender notes will be raised and carried to the
Supreme Court Of the United States. The point
made by Mr.. Atkinson is, that there is now no
legal tender act in existence except such provi-
sions as are retained in the Revised Statutes
1874: that the statutes were adopted in period
of peace, and that the legal tender act is uncon-
stitutional because the excuse Of war necessity
did not then exist.
