Robbers Plot Defeated.

facytc Railroad Employees Implicated.
AT Omaha, Neb., Henry CLAYTON. a
noted swindler and burglar, just out of
the penitentiaiy, was threatened with ar
rest for some crime, when he confessed
That he was the leader of gang of rob-
Ders who had assembled there to rob the
paymaster's safe of the Pacific Railroad.
some OF the gang hadalready tried skele-
Ton key on the safe without success,
denry hoe, an employee of the railroad
company; Joe Bradley an expert sneak
thief from the East; X. Smyth. a profess
slonal craftsman from Chicago; Thomas
roster, an Omaha thief, and one Pender-
gast are concerned. All but Bradley
are now under arrest. Roe had accom-
plices among the railroad employees who
are yet unknown, and he learned the
amount in the safe one night and what
was supposed to be the safe lock combi-
nation. He confessed, confirming Clay-
IONS statement and revealing an attempt
TO rob the Omaha Elevator Company of
an immense amount. Roe was formerly
an express messenger, but lost his posi-
ton by gambling. The Union Pacific
oinclals were surprised at the amount of
correct and valuable information. suppos-
ed to be entirely secret from all but the
leading employees, which the gang had
secured. The men are held on the charge
OF the elevator burglary, owing to de-
iect in the State laws-no punishment
being provided for conspiracy, which is
the only offence which can probably be
attached to the scheme to rob the railroad
company.

Deserted Villages.

ONCE PROSPEROUS TOWNS IN PENNsYL-
VANIA NOW ABANDONED.
Crawford, Pa, Journal.
While roaming through the oil country
our interest was excited by having GER
tain localities pointed out to us, as the
place where once steod small city. Per-
haps no part of the oil region shows this
as much as that situated between Oil
City and Titusville, and no place as much
as Petroleum Centre. Westand amazed
and almost doubt the truth of our in
formant, when we are told that this is
the Petroleum Centre We saw ten years
ago. AT that time, as the name implies,
IT was the centre of the land of grease.
Surrounded as 1t was by the best oil
producing country, 1t could not be other
wise. Vast numbers of houses, stores,
machine shops, etc, were erected in a
short time, and in 1868 1t was a city of
5000 or 1900 inhabitants. Everybody in
oildom knew the Petroleum Centre. The
city had banks, immense hotels, large
business houses and could boast of three
or four fine churches. The whole coun-
try around the place was a city. At
night 1t was almost impossible to get
through the crowd of people collected for
all kinds of pleasure. What q change |!
Nothing can be compared to it except
the destruction of war. Instead of fine
residences the ground is now used for
potato patches, "a road marks the place
where the principal street was the
churches yet stand, but nobody renal ms
to attend them. Perhaps there are 100
inhabitants in the town now. North of
Petroleum Centre we were shown the
place where IN '65 and '67 was the famou,
Bennington run. There remains not q
sign of anything having been there.
As many will remember, this was one
OF the best oil territories in the country
at that time. On the northern part of
this farm was small town of the name
of Dublin. 1t had 200 inhabitants, and
was the terminus of the BenninghoffRun
| railroad. Not single house remains
In fact, one would think, not knowing
any better, that it had never b.en clear
ed. Many towns like this have gone the
same way. But perhaps the next in i'm
portance is Plthole. Like Petroleum
Centre, 1t is nearly gone. When G. b.
Duncan, who died in Glasgow some
years ago, made his will, he left church
at Pithole 5000. During the litigation
which followed committee was sent to
find the church. They returned and
stated that no such building existed, nor
could they find any one who ever knew
Of it. The facts are, when Mr. Duncan
was in Pithole the church existed in a
fiourishing condition. But it had disap-
peared long before the committee went
there. On account of this more than any
thing else Mr.. Duncan was thought to be
crazy when he made his will.

all along, is the guilty person. Ludlam
denies all knowledge OF the act, but
twenty-three out of thi,ty witnesses

INDIAN SUMMER.

Waen the hunter's moon is waning
And hangs like a crimson bow
And the frosty fields of morning
are white with phautom snow.
Who then is the beautiful spirit
That wandering sn lies and grieves
Along the desolate hillsides,
And over the drlfted leaves
she mas s'rayed ON the far Off dwelIips 9
VI forgotten Indian braves,
And stolen wistfu,ly earthward
over the path OF graves;
she has left the cloudy gateway
VI The hunting grounds aJar,
10 follow the trail OF the Summer
Toward the morningi
There's rustic OF soft, slow footsteps
The toss OF a purple plume,
And the glimmer OF golden arrows
Athwart the hazy gloom.
'Tis the smoke OF the happv w,owaus
That reddens our wintry sky,
The scent Of un fading forests
That is dreamily floating by.
o, shadow sister OF Summer
Astray from the world of dreams.
Thou wrath Of the bloom departed,
Thou echo OF springtide streams,
Thou moonlight and starlight vi. ION
of day that will come no more.
Would that our love might win thee
To dwell on this stormy shore!
But the roaming Indian goddess
Stays not for our tender sighs-
She has heard the call OF her hunters
Beyond the sunset skies!
BY her beaming arrows stricken,
The last leaves fiuttering fall,
With a sigh and smile she has vanished
And darkness is over ALL

How Indians Marry.
WIVES OBTAINED BY BARGAIN, AND NC
BY MARRIAGE CEREMONIES.

WIVES OBTAINED BY BARGAIN, AND NOT
BY MARRIAGE CEREMONIES.
WAsHINaToN, November 2.-An in
terestiDg account OF how Indians marry
and given in marriage is given by
Commissioner Hoyt. He says that at
present there are valid marriages among
the Indians. except where, in few in
stances, marriage ceremony perform
ed by the agent. The custom among the
Osages is about the same as among all
other tribes not fully civilized, and Is
somewhat as follows: A man who desire
to marry goes to the lodge of the woman
he proposes to take and sits down out
side of the door, awaiting an invitation
to go in. At first sends "a present of one
pony, and If in response to the gift hsre
is no invitation to come within the lodge,
he sends another pony as a present; if
the second does rot answer the purpose,
| third, fourth, fifth or even tenth Is
sent. When the number of ponies is sat
| lsfactory to the father of the woman the
doner is invitedinto the lodge and the
bargain is completed. If it so happens
| that he takes the Oldest girl in the famil y
he is entitled toj AXE all her younger sis
ters TO himself, or if he does not take
them for himself he bargains with any
after applicant for their possession. The
whole proceeding is mere matter OF
bargain and sale, in which women are
disposed OF without their consent and
very much like cattle in the market.
There is nowhere any limit to the num-
ber of wives, as they are called, which
an Indian may have, and by their custom
he can change tha occupants of his lodge
as often as he chooses. Gas our civiliza-
ton is opposed to polygamy," says the
Commissioner, "some decisive action
should be taken regulating and establish
ing marriage in all Indian communities
An act of Congress should provide
, wholesome and proper marriages laws
for Indian tribes. The agent should be
required to marry all the Indians cohab-
iting together upon the various reserva-
tions, giving them certihcate OF sucn
marriage; and after the beginglne OF tne
next wear no Indian should be permitted
to marry more than one wife,"
