There is ne lodging the new law

the discretion Of a jury. Whoever is
convicted Of carrying concealed weapons

There is no way of paying oat or dodg.
ing the penalty. Money will not suffice,
but the rich as well as the poor must
suffer the punishment. After one years
trial Of this measure we are satisfied il
will show good results. There will be
fewer brawls in which the pistol or kRiie

the blood record of Kentucky will be
much lighter during the next twelve
months than It has been for years. Few
persons will be willing to take the risk
of being caught with concealed weapons,
and many disturbances that grow out
of passion and intemperancs will be
averted.

Last Day OF the Musical FiativaI-
rae Nest sncesssful eVer Held IA
CINCINNATI, May l7,-With to-day's
concerts will terminate the most success
full musical festival that has ever been
held in America, alike in musical exc
cution and in attendance. In spite of
the rain yesterday afternoon and evening
the hall showed the same f%ullness, while
outside the multitude of carriages re-
quired skilful aud energetic manage
meut by the police to prevent an ~inextri.
cable tangle. The musical spirit seems
to have risen 10 the audience in each
successive concert At times they are
hushed, to a remarkable degree, for such
q vast multitude, ard this evident ap.
probation Of the efforts Of the singers
upon the part of tie audience has its
effect upon the former. as is shown in
the remarkably fine execution Of the
chorus in various numbers, especially in
The Messiah, on Wednesday, and last
nights chorus in the third act Of Wag-
ner's Meisteringer.
The scene upon the street to-day are
but a repetition Of those Of the past few
days as regards the coming and going of
throngs of visitors, notwithstanding the
unauspieious weather. 1t seems evident
that the festival has a strong bold upon
the public, The rain has ceased, but we
have in place Of it cool northeast winds
and a cloudy sky. Miss Rollwagon. the
Cincinnati singer, who was to render
the aria Nssci il Bosca, by Handel, this
evening, is suffering from inhamed
throat, and Miss Craneh has been substi'
tuted.
Tonight will be givsn, for the FIRST
tinein America, Liszt's hisa Solemn
composed for the dedication Of the Ba'
silica, in Grau. The difficulties in the
way Of rendering the Misa for chorus
and orchestra are very great, and it is
to the praise Of all those taking par
that the work will be performed daring
this festival. Berlioz's symphony Of
Romeo and Juliet, which will be per
formed after the intermission, is looked
forward to with great interest. The
s%olUists are Miss Cary, Mr.. Adams and
Mr.. Remmertz. The piece consists o.
instrumental movements, illustrating q
scene from the tragedy, united into a
whole by a prologue and songs, which
we're written by Berlioz himself.

The bank Of South Pueblo was robbed
last night. The building is a one'storY

Pueblo, and owed aud occupied by the
Messrs. Banks. IL contains two rooms,
one used for carrying on the business,
and tke other Rs a sleeping room. Mt.
H N. Banks, the father. was seriously
Injured. requiring one OF the brothers 10
attend him, aud Mr.. II. n. BANKS slept
alone in the building.
Mr. Banks retired to bed at about
1880 o'clock, and was awakened between
l aud ? o'clock, and on opening his eyes
saw from the light Of q dark lantern two
disguised men on either side Of his bed.
Both had white cloth over their faces.
Oae held a cooked six.shooter at Mr..
Banks heaa. and the other pointed a
formidable bowie-knife at his heart.
The large mar said, Make no noise
aud then the two gagged MI. Banks,
They jammed q kuotted handkerchief
saturated With ether into his mouth,
nearly strangiing him, and bound it 10
place with another handkerchief, The
small man then went into the front room
and pulled down the window curtains.
0s the return of the small man from
the front room be said, looking at Mr..
Banks, Hes asleep" This the other
denied, and shaking the prisoner roughly
by tie shoulder said, BE quiet. Don't
speak a word. II you do I'll kill you"
The two then took Mr. Banks between
them and marched him to the safe, or.
dering him to open It. The safe is
locked with three combination locks, ell
locked on different combinations. He
opened two Of them, and when he came
to the cssh.chest be hesitated whether TO
open it or take the chances Of being shot.
The big man said, open that chest"
Mr.. Banks took another look at the
cooked revolver, and then obeyed.
The robbers helped themselves to all
the bank notes in the cash-box, aud then
examined the large pocket-books con.
tanning valuable papers. In Q small box
in the safe they found q gold watch aud
ch-ia, but they deemed it prudent not to
take it. They stole altogether about
$4,000 in money.
After the examination Of tie safe they
escorted Mr.. Banks back to bis bed and
tied him hand and foot. They crossed
bis hands behiad his back and securely
bound them with a leather strap half an
inch wide, and then tied his feet together
and to the bedstead with q stout cord.
On their departure one said, Don't
utter a n%oise; if you loTll come back
