egar, George Robertson and Ike King
were taken from the Jail here this
morning at l O'Clock by n crowd of Wig
ilants and hanged from the bridge.
Robinson plead for his life and fell on
his knees three times. King said as he
was about to drop, boys, let me down
easy" The men behind him said did
you let Bansom down easy" and gave
him a shove. The neck of Robinson
broke, while that of King did not.
There is talk of revenge on the part of
the colored people, though some of them

st. Louis, June 1e.-A special to the
Republican says: Marshall Macarthur,
OF Brooksfield, with a posse of men
started after the robbers within an hour
after the robbery was committed, and
tracked them to a log house on the
Harper farm In the woods, about three
miles from k~irksville. The house was
fortified to some extent, and had loop
holes made by knocking plaster out
from between the logs. The posse on
searching the house found sixty revolv-
ers and over 1000 pounds OF cartridges.
Masks and explosives were also found
and the house had every appearance of
a small armory. One of the robbers
told where the stolen money was hid
den, eight miles from Brooksfeld, and
an officer went to get it accompanied by
Frank Wards wife. Gov. Crittenden
has telegraphed the authorities of Kan
sas City to ascertain if any Of the rob-
6ers are members of the old James
gang. This evening prosecuting Attor-
ney Wallace, County Marshal Murphy,
and Dick Little left for Brooksfeld for
the purpose of identifying them II they
can.

Modern Men of Great Wealth.

The ancient historians have a great deal
to say about the wealth of various old
Greeks and Romans but none ofthem were
70 rich, in all probability, as are many liv-
ing Americans. Cr9sus, king of Lydia,
five hundred years before the Christian era,
had 30 much gold, with other kinds of prop
erty, that " ricE as Cresus' has been for
ages n thread bare smile. He was the
great p%lutocrat of antiquity, and it is diff
cult to judge of the value of his possessions;
but it is not at all likely that it ever reach
ed more than S10,000,000 to S12,000,000 OF
our money. There are, no doubt, forty New
Workers at least worth more than he, and
some six or seven may have four-fold his
wealth. The richest Roman in Julius Ce-
sar's time, and one of the triumvirate, was
Marcus Lucinius Crassus, an astute specula-
tor, noted for a~varice. His fortune has oft
en- been estimated. and never above So
100000 to $10,000,000 in United States cur
rency. An Athenian or Roman who could
count his estate at what would be 100000
of our dollars was considered immensely
wealthy, but residents of Manhattan who
nave no more than 81, 600, 900 are not now
considered particularly well off, and are
unknown among the opulent members of
the community. Mere m~illionaires are so
common here as to merit little distinction
financially. There were no such estates in
ancient times as those of the Astors and
Vanderbllts, and no such private fortunes
as are held not only here, but in Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, San
Francisco, and other cities of the republic.
The growth of wealth has been prodigious
IN this country within this generation.
Some of the largest accumulations in the
land I've been made within forty or fifty
years. Half a century ago only one man
in the metropolis was worth 81, 100000 and
his name was John Jacob Aston. Now hum
dreds of our fellow-citizens can go beyond
those figures, and they feel rather poor than
otherwise. When Stephen Girard died, in
1881, he was considered by all odds the
richest man on this continent-nobody ap-
preached or began to approach him none
tarily-and yet his property was not valu-
ed at more han S9,O00,000. Men who do
not regard themselves as very old can cas-
lily remember when 100000 was thought
TO be n fortune, even in our largest cities,
and when$lO,000 in the small towns was
deemed an independence. At present $780,
900 is hardly reckoned sufficient to make
= man comfortable, and 100000 would not
be deserving of mention, unless'in n rural
village of New England, where general
poverty lends 4 magniiying power to any
eye that contemplates any kind of coin.
Within the next fifty years it is likely that
private fortunes will be increased beyond
what they nave been in the same period in
the past. In 1890 and 1910 it is probable
enough that We shall hear of plain Amer
| lean citizens who are worth from $780,
100000 to S15O,OOO,0O0, and who will be
grunbling that they have no moro.

WARRINGTON NOTES.

Washington, June 10.-The house
committee on Judiciary have authorized
Representative Humphreys, of Wiscon-
sin, to report the national bankruptcy
bill and have it made the special order
for an early day in December. The bill
provides that in cases of involuntary
bankruptcy, where the petition of cred
itors shall give security the suit shall

The senate committee on post offices
have addressed a letter to Postmaster
General Howe, requesting him to not
ify them whether, in view of the prob
able wen of the department for the
current fiscal year and the approximate
revenue for the next fiscal year the
proposed reduction of the rate Of post
age on letters to 2 cents and on news
paper and other printed matter to one
half the present rate can be adopted
with safety and propriety. The mem
bers of the committee are said to favor
the reduction, provided it would not
result in any material decrease of the
postal revenue.
According to Commissioner McFar-
land, of the general land office, a larger
amount of public lands will have been
disposed of during the year ending June
80, 1882, than during any other year
since the establishment Of the general
land office.
