self as a tramp. Carpenter failed to get an
officer and returned home. He went to the
house of Mark Swain, on his way back, and
in the stable found horse which Hilliard
had been using, but which belonged to Hill
liard's sister, who was keeping house for Car
penter, and who had requested Carpenter to
take the horse and return it to her if he
could find it. He mounted the horse and
started for home. Swain and Hilliard pur-
sued him. Carpenter fired his revolver.
billiard then advanced towards Carpenter,
who commenced discharging his revolver.
Two shots took effect. Hilliard then siezed
him and held him until help arrived. Neither
of the bullets have been extracted and Hill
lard is in a critical condition This was the
result of an old feud. Hilliard has served
three terms in prison.

THE OSCEOLA BANK ROBBERY.
Capture of the DesperadOes After Live.
ly Running Fight.

ELMrRA. n. Y, Feb. Is.
The all-absorbing topic of conversation
here is the robbing of the Osceola
Penn, bank and the capture, after
the greatest efforts, of the five burglars
Contrary to the general view taken of the
bank crackers, it has been ascertained that
they are not what they sllege, amatures, but
old offenders. Harri 9, one of them, a ma
chinest by trade, undoubtedly made the set of
tools found under a failed tree, where they
had been dropped by one of the burglars, and
which were used in effectng an entrance
to the bank vaults The vault was
built of solid masonry, two feet
thick, but the concussion of the explosion of
the dynamite cartridge used in entering the
vault was so great that neghbor heard the
explosion and notified Morgan Seely, the
proprietor of the bank, who in turn notified
a constable. The latter gathered posse and
pursued the burglars, first having telegraphed
to this city and other places. When within
four miles of Elmira constable undertook
to capture the thieves, but Harris, referred
to, drew revolver and fred two shots,
one ball passing through the coat-sleeve
causing a slight flesh wound in the arm
of Constable Charles Blanchard of Pine City,
Other shots we're fired, none taking effect,
however. Blanchard, joined by others, gave
chase to the burglars across Mt Zoar, and a
running fire was kept up. The pursuers
were Joined by officers from this city, and
three of the desperadoes were captured, not,
however until one of them, Thos. Kirwip,
had been shot through the wrist. James ID.
Wells, VIM. Mcpherson and Harry Throp,
the other members of the gang, were chased
until evening, when they were captured and
jailed in this city. The robbery amounted to
only about $500. Five hundred dollars
being in silver coin, was mostly dropped by
the burglars in the chase. The rest of the
money was recovered. The gang had
been operating in the West for the past two
years, and this is the first attempt made by it
in this part of the country.

AN INFiDEL In CHURCH.

Time for Years, and Creates In.

Actions.

MATOMORES, u, FOB. 10.
Christian Dongel, an infidel of wealth and
influence in the community, attended church
for the first time, Friday night He preserved
a stoical indifference until the invitation for
the mourners to come to the altar was given,
when, with loud cry for mercy. he ran like
one possessed to the altar and knelt down.
The audience fell into frenzy of shouting
and yelling. Benches were pulled up. Men
picked up chairs and hurled them against the
walls, while crowds marched up and down
the aisles singing and shouting. number
of women tainted, and Miss Lewis went into
a trance in which she now lies. A faint
breath is perceptlble, but all efforts to arouse
her have proved unavailing About midnight
Dongel prOfessed conversion, springing up
suddenly, knocking the minister against the
pnlpit, cutting his head and face severely.
No heed was paid to this, and the preacher,
with the blood streaming down his face, led a
procession of men who carried Dongel on
their shoulders, followed by women waving
Eandkerchicts. All were shouting at the
top of their voices ,and the meeting continued
until all were exhausted. Yesterday Dongel
became possessed of IAN idea that he was
especially sent from heaven to provide for
the preacher. He took all his available
money and started for the minister's house.
On his way he met Jacob Meiser, whom he
compelled to return to the house, when he
locked him in the cellar. He then forced
Mrs. Meiser to give him all the money there
was in the house. just as Dongel was leav-
ing. Meiser escaped from the cellar and at
tempted to stab Dongel, who savagely re-
PEELED the attack, inficting dangerous
wounds.
When the hour for evening services arrived
I ...i
crown on his head and club in his
hand. Ascending to the pulpit, he declared
that he was Christ, and had come to judg e
the world. After desperate fight in which
several were severely wounded, Dongel was
secured and nlaced in confinement
