Irwin and Scott, charged with the
theft of $4,000 worth Of bonds from the
Registers office, arrived in St. Joseph on
the 18th and were placed in Jail. Irwin
made a statement that created profound
sensation. He claims that he was not di-
rectly implicated in the robbery, but agreed
to go to New York and assist in the DISPOSE
ton of the bonds some time after they had
been stolen. He says Scott one day ad-
dressed him on the street, took him one
side and stated that he had 800, 900 of the
st. Joseph bonds that he wished to dispose
of, and wanted him to assist. Scott told him
that Crowther and himself had taken the
bonds from the City Registers safe by means
Of a false key. The key they had obtained
by an impression taken from Mr.. Ringo's
key, which was upon bunch they had bor-
rowed one day, claiming that they wanted
to open a desk drawer. The combination
was opened by Crowther, then the inner
lock opened by the duplicate key. Irwin
further claimed that he was to receive only
a pro rata amount for his work in the mat
ter, Crowther, Scott and Cox to receive the
balance. Mayor Posegate has suspended
Register Ringo from office, and filed seven
teen counts against him, charging incom
potency, neglect and carelessness in the dis
charge of his duties as Register. Capt. Frank
M. Tufts filed his bond in the sum of $780,
600 as City Register pro tenn. On the Doth

go over to the next criminal term of the

Some of the European astrono>
mers remark upon the fact, as recently
observed by them, of the increased
twinkling of stars when there is dis
play of the aurora berealis the increased
scintillation is also seen all the more
clearly on winter than on summer
nights, and the phenomenon is more
apparent when stars in the northern
region are observed. It is thought that
the effect is not due to the direct infiu-
ence of the electromagnetic light of
the aurora on the scintillation itself, but
rather to disturbances-probably cool
ing-which coincide with the appear
ance of the aurora in the upper region
of the air traversed by the star rays.

BANDITS boarded Texas & Pacific
train at Ranger, Eastland County, Texas,
the other morning. The conductor noticed
some rough looking men climbing upon the
engine and ordered them off. AS he did so
a pistol was put to his face and he was told
to march out on the platform. The engineer
and fireman were similarly marched out and
corraled. The colored porter, however, es-
capped and aroused three rangers on the
train in anticipation of a robbery. They
came forward with their guns, but the rob-
bers placed the captive officials between
them and the rangers and opened fire on the
latter. The rangers fired sparingly, for fear
of killing the officials. In the midst of the
shooting one of the robbers bounded into
the Texas express car, installing it for
the Pacific express, in which the mail is
carried, and ordering the messenger to ele
vate his hands went through his package,
getting only $500. This done he jumped
out on the opposite side, firing a farewell
shot ut the rangers. As he did SO the men
who were standing off the rangers began to
retreat, covering the engineer, conductor
and fireman with their guns, making them
follow and stand between them and the
rangers until they were out Of reach. Forty
or fifty shots were fired, and the only per-
son hit was the telegraph operator, whose
hand was scratched. The robbers were five
in number, the oldest one not appearing to
be over IS years.

A Dizzy Business, Indeed.
AIR UPON TIE DOME OF THE Ma
TIONAL CAPITAL.

As you stand at the foot of the ter
iace below and look up at the immense
dome of the Capitol the workmen there
seem midgets, clinging by toes and fin
ger tips to the convex surface To
the nervous spectator the 81 ght is more
exciting than interesting. The narrow
landings surrounding the lower and up
per ends of the dome appear as threads
of white marble on which hardly fly
could obtain a secure foothold, much
less man. You shudder as you see
human form uproar itself from the in
terror of the cupola and with apparent
carelessness climb backward over the
narrow ledge to the ladder beneath.
That ladder seems fearfuly small and
unable to support the weight of or give
fuothold to several men who are upon
it, They lean forward at times until
only their feet and one hand are on the
ladder as they run their brushes over
that part of the dome within reach.
They seem suspended in md-air, and
you tremble lest the next blast of the
autumn wind, which, you know, blows
fearfully hard up at that dizzy eleva-
ton, should loosen their frail hold and
dash them, shapeless masses, against
the cold, cruel stones of the pavement,
two hundred feet below. Suddenly,
while you gaze, one of them rapidly
desccnds the ladder to the lower land
ing, which is in reality about eighteen
inches wide, but seems to you a mere
line, and lightly, recklessly even, Jumps
down upon the projecting edge of the
column Immediately below. You no.
ticc, however, that he climbs back with
much more care. And you watch with
a sort of fascinating interest till the
eye grows dim with its constant gaze,
ard you seek inside for further infor-
nation.
Dangerous as this work seems to be,
very dangerous as it is in fact, a more
gruesome job is that of painting the
pedestal on which the Goddess of Lib
erty stands, The statue is of bronze,
the pedestal Of iron, end the latter
must be frequently painted so as to cor
respond in hue with the goddess.
From the very top Of the dome the Gu
pola uprears its graceful proportions
without any interior means of access to
the statues pedestal. Ascent must be
made vertically from the outside.
When the pedestal is TO be painted, rig
gers from the Navy Yard are detailed
to erect a temporary structure by
which the workman asceuds TO the top
of the cupola, To climb over the out
side ledge of the latter either in COM
ing down or going up, is said to be the
most dangerous undertaking, So haz-
ardous is the entire job of painting the
pedestal that only one man on the force
will do it. He Is native of Capitol
Hill and said to be utterly indifferent
to danger apparently unconscious that
he runs any risk whateyer- WaShing
