Of Glasgow Bank, namely, the secretary
managing director and six directors

had known they were wanted.
SOME of the bodies Of the drowned
in the Princess Alice disaster were
taken from the water, robbed and thrown
back again, and in more than. one case
drowning passengers were passed BY
boatmen with the remark, "Oh, never
mind him, he's alive; look out for the dead
ones" This is owing to the regulation
which provides that a reward of five
shillings be paid for the recovery Of
dead body, but fails to reward. the
rescuer of the living.
LITTLE Hattie EDgcl, eight years ol
age, did justice good turn in Jersey
City on Tuesday by recognizing Edward
Burns in court as one of the men who
robbed her fathers house some weeks
ago. The entire family, except the girl
were bucked and gagged at the time by
burglars, all of whom wore masks. One
of the williams took off his mask to wipe
his face, and Il moments glance at II
made such a vivid impression OH the
little girls mind that she easily picked
out the fellow from party Of three.

THE GRATEFUL SoUTu.-Tbe people
of the North still continue to send us
food, clothing and money. They have
noe wearied of we'll doing. Their com.
mittees are still at work and their great
dailies are still urging collections fol
our sick and destitute people. With g
generosity unbouuded they are piling
up measure after measure, each ono
larger than the other, and all overflow
ipg, even after We have said, "Thanks
we have enough and to spare" What
can we say? Words will not tell the
sense of gratitude we feel at an exhibit
of manly perseverance in good work
surprising anything the world has known
before.-Memphis appeal.
ADvIcEs from the West received By
the Kansas Pacific Railroad Company
say that the sheriffs of Saline, Rice and
HAYS Counties, Kansas, with strong
posse, attacked the rendezvous Of o gang
of train robbers west of Brookfeld on
the eastern border Of the Great Ameri.
can Desert, some two hundred miles
west of Kansas City, on the 18th inst.
Among the captured was Mike Rouke,
leader of tho gang and notorious des-
perado. They wounded Dan Dement,,
who, however, escaped, and three others
of the gang also got away, but the posse
started in pursuit at once, going south
towards Fort Dodge. Mike Rouke was
the leader of the band that robbed the
Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe trains
ut Kingsley, and the Kansas City, St.
Joseph and Council Bluff train at
Winthrop somo months ago. 1t is be,
lieycd that his capture will break up
one of the strongest and most desperate
bands of thieves and >robbors ever or
ganizcd.
ONE hundred aud Fifty 'possums, con-
fined in box car, were received at the
Greenville and Columbia Railroad depot
from Nalhalla. They were consigned
to o we'll known colored caterer Of Col
umbia, who proposes to put them up,
fatten them, and deal them out to bis
customers, where they would do the
most good. The shipper has evidently
made a mistake in this business ven-
ture; he surely forgets the fact that
Mr.. Chamberlain and his followers are
institutions of the past, and that "'pos'
sum meat" will not be as popular in tie
future as it used to was, and the 'possum
trade, as q natural consequence, will be
dull in Columbia this fall. There waf
