THE NET RESULTS OF THE MAN.
HAITIAN BANK ROBBERY.


Mr.. John Hope, one of the principals
in the famous Manhattan Bank robbery,
was yesterday sentenced to twenty years
imprisonment. AT the same time Judge
Potter of the Supreme Court, denied the
application made to him to reduce the
bail of John Nugent, the police officer
who is held in the sum of $4,000, as an
accompliCe. The Manhattan bank bur-
glary was splendid enterprise, skilfully
planned and successfully executed. The
large amount of booty to be secured ap-
peared to promise great reward, and
fortune seemed to smile benignantly on
Mr.. Hope and his associates from the
moment they discovered that the conf.
ding Mr.. Schell had given away the com.
bination up to the hour of their safe de-.
parture from the bank with the stolen
millions in their possession. They had
no reason to doubt that all their fortunes
were made. They did not fear the po.
lice, and even when the bill was intro
duced in Congress, which threatened to
destroy the value of the great bulk of
the securities they held, they had conf.
dence in their ability to defeat it's pas.

able funds of their "pool." Encourag.

they have been sadly disappointed. A
police captain was found who had the
skill and energy to follow them up and
capture them. Their enormous capital
has melted away, until they probably
have scarcely enough left to enable them
to make hole large enough in their
prison walls to escape through. One Of
their brightest intellects goes to Sing

a BANK ROBBERY EXPLAINED,


Information from a reliable private
source has been received, as we 90 to
press this afternoon, regarding the First
National Bank robbery which occurred
in Conneautville, Pa, in the fall of 1875,
being no less than the confession of Jas.
Crockett of Lindsville, Pa, one of the
participants in the crime. 1t will be re-
membered that d. D. Williams, cashier
of the bank, was found one Monday
morning in the bank, bound and gagged,
and the safe rifed Of its contents. Will
liams, with two or three other men, were
arrested for the crime, Williams being
convicted and sentenced to the penitep-
tiary for term of years. Crockett was
shadowed by detective for several
months, and was finally arrested while
negotiating the sale of some of the sto-
len coupons, his trial being set for next
September, but was out on bail. Crock.
EFT claims the money was taken from
the bank during Sunday afternoon, and
was entrusted to the care Of a man nam
ed Foster Gear, who drove to Lindsville
that night with the money IN a satchel,
thence going to Canada, where Crockett
was afterward sent to recover and con-
ceal the money. Gear died last winter
and it was rumored at that time he had
made confession of the crime, but such
was not the case. During the June races
at Meadville, Crockett robbed P. Olson
of Conneautville ofover $50, and was ar.
rested, convicted and sentenced to jail in
Meadville Mr.. Olson is the man who
drove Crockett to Lindsville the night of
the robbery, not knowing his customer
was one Of the bank robbers, the robbery
not being discovered until next morn.

1t is now discovered that Mr.. Sherman
can't get silver enough to coin the two
million of silver dollars per month, which
is the minimum amount allowed by the
law. All the supporters Of Sherman are
terribly surprised at this fact, because
they have proceeded on the theory that
the price of silver would fall in proportion
as the demand increased. Instead of this
result being attained, it is discovered that
silver is steadily rising in price, and that
the democrats and "bourbons" are right
in their ideas as to the currency. 10 the
meantime, Sherman and the modern finan.
ciers look on in helpless confusion and i'm
becility, because they hardly get theory
constructed and we'll advertised before
some solid fact comes booming along and
knocks the fimsy structure to pieces. Just
by way of astonishing Sherman and his
cohorts, we will mention that the facts
which are now apparent to men of general
information, show that silver is now cheap
er than it will be again for many years,
and that in less than FIVE years, the silver
dollar of 4l23 grains will be so valuable
that it will disappear from circulation, and
the owners of silver bullion will refuse to
send it to the mint. Of course,uobody who
believes in '''regulatable" currency can
understand why this shoEld be SO, but il
will prove to be truth, nevertheless,
