A HOT PURSUIT.
Chasing SOME Bank. BarsIsrs Over Hill aud
Daie-AlI five Captured.


Daie-AlI Five Captured.
An Elmira IN. " special Of the 18th.
says The fifth of the cracksmen who
performed such an expert job on the
vault of the bank at 0sceola, Pa, this
morning, was lodged in the Chemung
county jail at 8 o'clock tonight. The
bank is conducted by Morgan Scely and
his two sons, John f. and Edward M.
1t is located in the general store Of DIR.
Bosworth. Across the streetliyes Quincy
Cilly, whose wife, being sick and awake.
heard at halfpast 8 this morning the
sound of muffied explosion. She called
her husband, who went to Mr.. Seely's
house and related his suspicious. A
visit to the bank found the front and
rear double street doors OF the vault
open and broken and large hole
through the two great concrete walls of
the vault. A spherical safe in the
vault. supposed to have been burglar
proof. was also found blown open. The
amount of money obtained, however,
amounted TO only about 1880. .Tbr
fresh snow made the following OF tse
cracksmen easy, and officers were after
them less than an hour behind. The
thieves walked mile and half to
Elkland and stole two horses and a
sleigh, continuing their flight toward Ell
mira. forty miles distant. Dispatches
did not intercept them until they were
within six miles Of the city, when
Charles Blanchard, a constable, stop
ped them. They fired two shots at
him. one Of which went through his
sleeve. and they whipped up their
horses and lett him. Blanchard and
Lew Fenton, plucky officer from Elk
land who had followed them all the
way, holly pursued them.
TAKING TO THE WOODS.
When near Elmira the fugitiyes drove
into a farmers yard, left the horses,
and started for the woods of Mount
Zoar. west of this city. They found a
boy drawing water, with a team and
sled. and at the point of revolver they
took the team aud drove rapidly away.
They met on a narrow road doctor
named Darling, who had gone around
to head them off. They drew their re-
yolyers and made him turn around
then taking his horse and cutter and
leaving him in the road, they went on.
Finally they abandoned the rig for
the woods. Then they all parted COM
pany. One came to the city and was
captured in saloon. Another re-
ceiyed rihe-ball through his wrist be-
fore surrendering. A third man was
taken in a barn, and fourth at Big
Flats. ten miles away. where some
farmers had driven him into barn.
The fifth was pursued unsuccessfully
about the woods, but WAS caught IN
this city after dark. Full kits OF fine
burglars tools were found with dyna-
mite cartridges and articles for disguise.
Many shots were exchanged before the
men gave up.
LOCKED UP
They gave the names of William Nc
Pherson, William Harris, Harry Thorne,
Thomas Kerwn, and James g. Wells.
The articles found on them indicate th@.
they are fresh from Buffalo or Canada.
They are extremely slick and dan
gerous and expert gang. They refuse
utterly to say a word. One Of them
secured a razor in Jail and shaved of his
whiskers and moustache. About 800
of the stolen money was recovered.

Especial telegram TO the Dispatch.l
RALEIGH. N. c., February a.
To-day in the House the committee
made an unfavorable report upon the
bill providing for the sale Of the States
stock in the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima railroad. II was thought by many
people that the scheme was big job.
In the House resolution was adopt
ed urging our representatives in Con-
gress to secure distribution of the
surplus in the Treasury for educational
purposes. II Is really the endorsement
Of the Blair bill. A resolution virtually
endorsing that bill has also passed the
Senate. The temper Of the people Of
the State is very strongly in favor Of
the bill. A bill was introduced in the
Senate to establish the county Of Ran
som, named after Senator Matt. Ran
som. II is not at all probable that
any new counties will be established.
The weather here is remarkably in
element. Snow has fallen all day, and
is now from three to six inches in
depth. The trees are breaking with
loads of sleet. Reports from western
parts Of the State show that the mer-
curry has fallen as low as IL degrees
below zero. The depth Of snow there
varies from five to twelve inches. The
weather here is the worst since the win
ter of 1881.
News has been received here Of two
saDguinary affairs in Randolph county.
Two women quarrelled and fought. and
one killed the other with a shovel. A
tobacco-peddler, who was driving along
the road, was confronted by two ne
grocs, who demanded his money or his
life. He replied with pistol-shot, which
brought down one of the negroes, when
the other fled; but the peddler sprang
from the wagon and shot the fleeing
darby before he had gone far. Both
negroes were killed.

LOCKED UP.
4 VERY CLEVER TRICK.
A Unique Device TO Defrnud the Govern
ment- MutIIated Notes.

ment-MutIIated Notes.
A Washington special says The
Acting Treasurer of the United States
has received package of mutilated le-
pal-tcnder notes and silver certificates
of the denominations of go and $40,
amounting to 1910, the appearance of
which bear evidence of All attempt to
defraud the Government. The notes
were presented at the Sub-TreaSury
at New York for redemption. and
as there was some question as
to their value, they were forwarded
to Washington, where they are now
being examined. Only one quarter OF
each note is missing, and therefore Will
probably be redeemed at their full
value under the law which provides
for the redemption of notes in full
where less than tgo lifths of the notes
are missing. In this case it was with
the missing portions of the notes that
the fraud was perpetrated. An examI-
nation shows that the notes were torn
in such way that the fragment from
each of four notes could be used i'll
making an entirely new and com
plete note. The notes manulac-
tured in this way were put into
circulation, and the notes from
which they had been made were sent to
the Treasury for redemption. While
the patched notes would, perhaps, cs-
cape detection by the general public
there are numerous ways of recognizing
the fraud. 1t is impossible to secure
the right numbers on the made notes,
while the silk thread running through
the paper, being of different colors and
in different places, furnishes unmistasa-
bic proof. One corner Of patched
note in circulation was found to belong,
without doubt, to one of the mutilated
notes. A Secret-Service officer has been
detailed to look the h.atter up.

that he left Khartoum six days after

Khartoum. The Government officials
do not believe the messengers story,
and state that no official information
conHrmatory of it has been received.
Another dispatch from Korti states
that messengers who have arrived from
Khartoum profess ignorance regarding
the fall of Khartoum or Of the death OF
Gordon. The Mudir Of Dongola re-
fuses to credit the report concerning
the capture Of Khartoum by the Mahdi
and the massacre Of Gordon and the
garrison under his command.
The authorities here announce this
afternoon that they do not believe the
messengers statements rest on q salts
factory basis.
KoRTI. February l4.-Messengers

They were six days on the journey.
The news they bring Of recent events
at Khartoum has not yet been made
known.

that General Gordon is alive. 1t thinks

venting the British advance upon Khar-
toum by making it appear that it was
then too late to rescue Gordon.
The Times asks: "If Gordon has
been killed and Khartoum captured,
why did not the Mahdi let Colonel Will
son land and then massacre him and
his party?"
ANOTHER COUNCIL OF WAR.
At council of war held to-day at
at the War Office it was resolved to in
crease the Indian contingent to be dis
patched to the Soudan for General
Wolseley's relief to $500 in order to
raise the total effective force which
General Graham is to have for his Sua-
kim expedition to IL 800 men. The
council also reconsidered aprevious de-
cision of the War Office declining the
colonial offers of military assistance.
Both the Earl Of Northbrook and the
Marquis of Harrington urged the War
Office to assent to the requests to en-
body the colonial contingents in the ex-
petition.
A GLOOMY VIEW.
The Army and Nary Gazette takes a
gloomy view Of the position occupied at
present at Gubat. According to the
Gazette. the troops can neither retreat
across the desert nor down the Nile.
They are compelled from the very ne
cessities of their situation, it is con-
tended, to entrench themselves where
they are, and there hoard their ammu-
milton. live on camel meat, and remain
ON the defensive until relieved. Con-
tinuing, the Gazette says that the
masses Of hostile Arabs from Khar-
toum will soon throw themselves in
line between Gubat and the Gakdul
Wells. and capture the latter place, and
perhaps even push northward and at
tack korti itself.
