yesterday that the National Bank at
Vineland, N. j., had been robbed on

two other men slipped behind the coun-
ter and going to the safe began to help
themselves to the contents.
The ca hier seeing the movement, ceas-

the cheek, and started for the two men
that were at the safe.
They seeing him coming hastily grabbe

bank. One of tho men secured a package
| containing about $500, but as he was
about to leave the bank, the cashier sue
ceeded in wrestling the package from the
robber, thereby saving the bank that
! much. The other man succeeded in OBJ

500 in So bank notes issued by tho bank.
After getting out of the bank the three
men jumped into falling top carriage,

A HEAVY JOKE.

The Republican reporter went to the
city baihff, yesterday mOrning,to inquire
the result of the caucus held the previous
City Council. The result of the report
er's confab with the bailiff was most
astonishing item in last nights paper to
the effect that the caucus had decided to
oust City Solicitor Macallister, without
allowing him to serve three years, to
which time the Republican Council
kindly extended his term OF Office, and
had selected Henry G. Turner, Esq, 9s
the nominee for the position. The sell
was complete, and 1t is said the present
City Solicitor was considerably worried
until he learned there was no truth
whatever In the Item.

ANNOYING 10 his Wife.

Last evening, VIM. Baldwin, who it
seems has nothing else to do but get
drunk and annoy people especially his
wife, was arraigned before the Mayer
on the charge Of being drunk and dis
orderly.
His wife testified that she had been
separated from her husband for over two
years, but he would frequently get drunk
and visit her house and become very
annoying aid threatening. AS this was
his third appearance in the dock within
two weeks, the Mayor required him to
pay a penalty of IS and costs.

The bids for the Bonds.

Messrs. Guthrie and Jones, of the City
Council Finance Committee, met in the
City Treasurer's Office, yesterday after
noon, and opened the bids for taking the
new city a per cent loan of $145, 900.
The bids were four in number, as fol-
lows:
X. X. Robinson & Co., Wilmington,
$07 OH the 800 for the whole amount.
Elliott, johnson s. Co., $96.50 for the
entire loan or any part thereof.
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Compa-
ny, of Philadelphia, per Samuel g. Huey
President, $95.06 for the entire loan.
Geo. Cordingly, No. 1874 Wistar street,
Philadelphia, $4, 900 of the 1884 loan at
$97.60 or $4, 900 of the 1885 loan at $07,
|25.
In view of the low rate of interest and
the short time some OF tho bonds run, the
bids are considered very fair.
This loan is redeemable as follows :
S. 900 on the first day of n ovember 1884,
and $1,000 each year thereafter. The
interest Is papable semi-annually, on the
first days of May and November. Taking
the bid of X. X. Robinson q Co., as a
basis, the discount for disposing Of the
loan would amount to $4,350. The saw
ing effected by the lower rate of interest
will Offset this discount in less than three
years, after which there will be clear
| saving of IL per cent. in interest, COM
pared with the rate paid on all previous
| loans.
THE AWARD MADE.
This morning the Finance Committee
held another meeting, and decided to
award the disposal of the bonds to r. r.
Robinson & Co., whose bid was $87.
The committee will report to this effect
10 the City Council, this evening, and
the report will doubtless be sustained.
