TEE cen, secession movement inauug.
rated By Councilman HlLDRErH, the other
night, seems to have been but the applica.
ton of the match to the slumbering dyna-
mite of secession that has been lying around
in big chunks and permeating the public
mind. Now comes a voice from Marshall
brim full Of the wish to secede, and the
daughter Of the mother, cast her lot with
Pennsylvania. He tells of the good old
times the people have across the border,
how the merchant aud farmer pay little or
no tax and altogether it is the Canaan Of
modern times.
No doubt it would be a nice place to live
IN if one could get there. But there's the
rub. As a prominent citizen said: "Do
you suppose the State is going to give away
his best milch cow" Not this year, sure.
There was once upon a time, that the JOB
might have been done with ease, and that
was when the new State was being formed.
IF the four Panhandle counties were to
raise two or three millions of money to buy
their way into Pennsylvania, West Virginia
might consider it. But it is hardly likely,
even then, that she would consider for mo-
ment the sequestration Of her eminent do

DEAD,
The Wounded Man Dies-HistorY OF the
Crime,

Anu "OuhuOA NAe@- ~%SS -
Crime. &
LINCOLN, NEB February 2S.-The robber
wounded at the State capital this afternoon
is dead. His name was Joe Griffin, noted
criminal. He has been engaged in mum.
ber of small thieving affairs. The captured
man is Alvin Mcguire, another notorious
thief. The third man who escaped was in
collusion with the detectives, and de-
coyed the other two into the daring crime.
Following are the details
About 2 o'clock this afternoon three
men walked quietly into the State Treas
urer's office, drew their revolvers and said
to Deputy Treasurer Bartlett, who stood
behind the railing Hold up your hands. "
The muzzles of the pistols almost
touched his head through the rail.
ing. Bartlett answered, what does
that mean, men2 Is it fooling or
business?' But his hands went up all the
same.
mo tall" retorted a man who appeared
to be the leader, lust hand out the money
and be quick about it.
Bartlett passed out through the railing
about $500, saying in loud voice; "here it
is help yourselves
The two men then turned to the door, the
third backing out covering their retreat
with pistol drawn on Bartlett The loud
tone employed by Bartlett was the signal to
Detectives Pond and Davis who were con.
cealed in an adjoining room. Hearing it
they stepped into the hall just as the two
robbers passed out of the treas
urer's public door. The detec-
tives shonted Halt" but no attention
was paid by the fleeing men, who afterwards
proved to be Griffin and Mcguire. Griffin
being one legged, was behind. A moment
later the report of shotgun was heard.
Griffin fell on the porch with ten or twelve
buckshot in his back and right shoulder. A
chase took in Mcguire before he could
mount horse tied about forty feet from the
door. The moment the gun was fred in
the hall the third man, who is unknown, I'M
less to the detectives, stopped, closed the
door instead Of passing through
the door behind the railing, ran
across the room, jumped out of the open
window and made his escape. No pursuit
seems to have been made of this mysterious
person. The money was recovered by
Pound, who returned it to the treasurer.
Mcguire was taken to Jail. 1t appears that
the detectives knew the attempt was to be
made, and had an understanding with Bart
lett that he should talk loud enough
with the robbers to be heard in the
place of fconcealment The descent had been
ooked for any day during the past week.
The robbers had visited the capitol several
tires, but some hitch in the arrangements
had deferred them from actual robbery un.
Ill to-day. There is mystery about the af
fair especially the part taken by the detec
lives that has created almost as much Gu
riosity as the excitement. This may be
cleared up when the escaped robber is ar
rested if he ever is.

general feeling that all was not right has

AN IMPORTANT CHANGE
Proposed in the Time for Holding the Ohio
Election.

Election.
CoLUNBUS, February 2S-In the House
to-day a joint resolution was adopted to
submit to the people a constitutional amend.
ment to change the State elections from Oc-
tober to November. The necessity for the
change forced itself on men of all parties by
the conduct of the last October campaign,
when the State was overrun By politicians
from all over the country; when voters were
imported and voted from Kentucky and
West Virginia, and when Federal Office
holders, By their presence and the use Of
large sums of money, perverted the will Of
the people. Nearly every Democratic news
paper in the State, the Cincinnati Enquirer
being one of the exceptions, lhas advocated
the change. Men of sn parties are in favor
fit. The proposition passed the House
by q vote of IS to 5.
