ing his desperate character, got an ad-
vantage of him and shot him down, no
Jury would have convicted them. Des-
perate diseases require desperate reme-
dies. The reward was offered publicly.
1t was for any one whe had the hardl-
hood to capture or kill the bandit. The
Ford boys undertook the desperate
game and won. They have been par
doned so far as that crime Is concerned,
but not of their former crimes. They
were not allowed to escape from the
hands of the officers of the law, and one
is held for murder in another instance
while the other is held for train. rob-
bing. Justice TO the state and to the
community at large, will place them
both in the penitentiary where they
can explate their crimes and it will be
good riddanee all around. rhe reo-
pie should rejoice.
These bandits have had friends and
abettors in this state, men who nave
shielded and protected them IN til cir
lawless acts for years: men too, who
have evidently occupied positions that
placed them above suspicion, thus Civ
ing them the better opportunity to aid
the robbers. They are no better than
the bandits themselves.
The howlings and vaporings of the
lew over the loss OF the chief Of the
Missouri mnrderers and cut throais, is
simply ridiculous And when papers
like the Sedalia Democrat indulge in
such an array of adiectives IS it has
called into use, to denounce the Cover
nor of Missouri, and praise the bandit
chief, winding up by threat of yen-
geance upon all concerned in the killing
of the great robber and murderer. one
can but naturally suppose there were
very close ties between the writer of
such stuff and the dead bandit. 1t is a
disgrace to the state, and certainly no
credit to the pait ties to publish or utter
such sentiments. 1t would be well for
this state if tine work were continued
until every bandit or defender of them
were made to teel the full penalty of
the law.

Scent STAMPS. 1t was Vanderbilt's
package that exploded, probably caused
by the jolt of the cars when rounding
curve out of Dowery into Third ave

packages might have reached their des
tination and exploded in the hands of
the parties to whom they were add ess
ed The contents of the mail bags were
scorched by the explosion. Posto.iice
Officials are making vigorous Efforts to
trace the packages to the parties who
sent them and no stone will be left un
turned. Postmaster Pearson says he
will hunt down the rutlians who made
the attempt.
New York, April 30.-Postm ster
Pearson has no clue to the seaders of
the explosive packages to Vandrbilt
and Field. He will examine the col
lectors tomorrow. A little glass globe
Of fluid was taken out of the machine
intended for Vanderbilt. He sent it
to Prof. Ogden Daremus, who declared
the fluid to be sulphuric acid. which,
If brought in contact with gun powder
and chloride of potash, even in small
quantities it will cause it to explode.
The Tribune, in reviewing the recent
attempt says: If large body of con,
spirators, or any persons Of intelligence
had been at the bottom of it they
would, at least, have taken care that
the packages were correctly addressed.
Moreover, man with correspondence
so large as Vanderbilt or Field has
cannot take the trouble to open many
of his letters, let alone packages.

injected. The heart of the still living

A Show Eagle With n History.

The large golden eagle placed ON exhibit
ton in front of the curiosity store in the
Windsor block, has received much attention /;
but the many who have gazed at it in Won
derment have little thought that the bird
had a history quite tragic in detail. Last
February ranchman living near North
Platte, Nebraska, was preparing to take his
family to town to spend Sunday. His child,
one year Of age, was left alone in the wagon
which was to serve as a means of convey
ance, while the father went back. While he
was in the house he heard the shrielss of the
baby outside, and rushing to the door found
the little one in the cruel talOns of huge
bird, which was slowly ascending, striving
to escape with its precious prize. Before
the eagle could get out of reach the farmer
secured his gun and fired. The bird came
down slowly, and it was thought the child
would be saved, but when within about ten
feet of the ground the child was dropped, the
eagle landing near it. The baby was killed
instantly by the fall. The eagle was riddled
with shot and was supposed to be dead. lie
was placed in a box and sent to a taxider-
mist in this city, who, upon opening the box
found the bird still alive. He was carefully
nursed, and is now as we'll as ever DeHce,

an instant. lie was dazed his brain was

man, and gazed wildly around him. lie did
not even respond to the embrace of his young
wife
Meanwhile the spectators continued TO
murmur, and the miserable men who still
awaited their doom scowled enviously and
savagely upon him.
"Why is he pardoned, while the other
poor wretohes are left TO meet their doom ~
some Of the spectators asked. The people
were getting accustomed to such spectaclos.
Still there were some among the female on
lockers who sympathized with the young fish
erman and his pretty wife, and wept tears Of
delight when Madeleine embraced her hus-
band, as they would have done had they
beheld such scene in n theatre.
AT length Il soldier on furlough stepped
forth from among the crowd and laid his
hand upon Antoine's shoulder.
Come, mon brdrc come away" said he,
"unless thou preferrest to remain TO be
shot" And he led the young fisherman away
from the tosSc, Antoine walking like one in
sleep.
Scarcely had they gone twenty PAGES be-
yond the mound i'm the rear of the toSSe,
when the sharp stern word Of command was
heard, instantly followed by the olang OF
