The man whose Intrepidity Saved the
Chambersburg Bank S5OO.OOO.
In Chambersburg George X. Messer-
smith died suddenly at $40 on Saturday
evening. He was the cashier of the
Chambersburg bank on March 25. 1876,
when the dariug forger and confidence
man, Ralph Rollins, otherwise Lewis C..
Clermon, and his accomplice, his brother
in. law, A. B. Wicks, alias Johnson, made
their desperate and well.nigh successful
attempt to bind and gag the old gentle
man and plunder the bank vaults Of over
half million dollars. Rollins went to
Chambersburg months before the enter
prise was ripe, representing himself as an
ex-C Confederate general from New Orleans.
He was accompanied by a beautiful lady.
Rollins pretended to be an invalid travel
ing for his health. The couple, by their
refined, sociable ways, captivated many
families, including Cashier Messersmith's, S,
and Rollins was frequent visitor. John
son appeared ON the scene the day before
the attempted robbery. On the evening
of March Is, Rollins and johnson visited
Mr.. Messersmith's house, Rollins repre-
senting that he had $40, 600 which he was
about to invest by purchasing the cash
10I . A0A IA s1AA n0ACO w uOPOSbV Az AAA GAS
bank safe for security. The unsuspecting
cashier opened the vault doors and at that
instant Rollins and johnson pinioncd him
and attempted to bind and gag him and
thrust him into the vault. Rollins flour
ished pistol, but neither rogue had cour-
age enough to silence the old man by vio
lence. He freed himself and called fol-
help. Rollings seeing that the scheme to
secure half million dollarShad failed on
the very brink of success, snatchcd up a
CSC, 900 roll of money and fled, but Wa
soon overtaken, as was johnson. Dis.
guises, weapons, etc., Indicating deep
laid plot, were found. The accused, after
various adventures and two escapes by
Rollins, got to the penitentiary. Rollins
died there over year ago aud johnson
alias Wicks, has just had his application
for pardon refused by the pardon board
Perhaps he may have better success mex
time, now that one obstacle has been re
moved in the death of Mr.. Messcrsmith
Deceased was member Of the well known
family of his name in this section, aud wa
a cousin of DR.. John r. Messersmith ant
George Messersmith Kline, esq, of thi
city. He had long been cashier of tn
bank and was highly esteemed in all tn
Cumberland valley for his many goo'
| qualities.

Another Immense Attendance SATURDAY.
Night.
The tremendous thrOng present at the
Barnum-Bailey- Hutchinson circus Satur
day afternoon was repeated in the evening
when the great canvas was densely
crowded by an eager, excited multitude.
The performance did not vary materially
from the former exhibition. Three rings
were occupied almost continually from
half past seven until after nine, and the
spectator could not help longing for three
pairs of eyes in the consciousness that he
might be missing something. 1t required
keen vision indeed to take in all the
brilliant performances constantly being
enacted. and it is almost impossible to
point out any distinctive feature Of the
varied and lengthy programme as present.

many deserving Of the highest praise.
Madame Elise Dockrill, tho champion

wire walking deserves to be placed in the
catalogue of notable features, as did GER
tainly also the trapeze act of the Davene
family, which has not been surpassed by
any similar performance witnessed here.
The leaping was very fine, especially
Frank Gardner's double somersauit
over the backs of seven elephants,
one of which was elevated upon a
pedestal. The Juggling, balancing, tumb-
ling, wrestling, and in fact the hundreds
of acts that succeeded each other with
such rapidity, were all of the highest order
of merit, and maintained a continued ten
sion upon the interest of the thousands of
lookers-on. When at length the final act
