The Lone Train Robber.

MAN WHO HAS LIVED DOUBLE LIFE TO PER-
FICTION.
Two weeks ago Saturday an express car on
the Northeastern railroad was robbed so miles
from New Orleans by a lone bandit who under
cover of his pistol, compelled the express
messenger to unlock his safe, pack up his
money in bag, then draw a bag
over his own head, which the robber
tied with string, pulled the bell-cord,
slowed the car and jumped off, carrying several
thousand dollars with him. The detectives
later became aware that the robbers name was
Ernest f. Bunch, that he had put up at the
house of pine-woods farmer named Pounds.
and that he had lady friend in New Orleans.
Both Pounds and the woman were arrested, and
under police persuasion the latter gave up over
81, 900 of the stolen money she had received
from Bunch. She was held in custody several
days, but on Friday was released. She had
given information that, it is expected, will lead
to the recovery of the greater portion of the
proceeds of the robbery.
Bunch has career that entities him to a
place in history alongside of Jack Sheppard or
Jesse James. He was a confederate soldier,
and later sergeant of his regiment, during the
war. Since he has been a merchants, lawyer,
school teacher, and editor in Mississippi. Louis
lana, and Texas. The United States marshal of
the latter state says, he thinks Bunch was at
the bottom of all the train robberies in that
state in the past two years. He has played a
double life to perfection, and served on the
United States grand jury in Texas that indicted
several train robbers there few months ago.
He Is an inordinate gambler, and lost the
school he was teaching in Tangipahoa, in
Louisiana state, some Years ago for teaching
his pupils to play poker.

A METHODIST HOME.
How It is Proposed to Provide for Aged
and Dependent Members of the Church.

For several years past some of the Methodist
Episcopal preachers stationed here have dis
cussed the feasibility of founding home for
aged and dependent Methodsts whose resi-
dence is in this city. The necessity for such
home has been frequently felt, and on more
than one occasion Washington Methodists have
had to so outside Of their own denomination
before they could find a roof which would shell
ter, as long as life lasted, those members of the
church who were without home. and who had
not the means to secure one. After the matter
had been talked over very carefully it was
brought up in the preachers meeting, and
there every member Of that body gave his opin-
ion. The discussion resulted in the appoint
ment Of committee, whose duty it was
would set forth their unified views on
the subject. The committee was COM
posed of Revs. J. A. Price, H. R. Naylor,
c. W. Baldwin, NJ. F. B. Rice, and George
Elliott, and a week after those divines were so
instructed they made their report. They
stated that home for aged Methodists was
really necessary; that the need was urgent and
should be attended to at once. The report
recommended that the several pastors lay the
matter before the official boards Of their
churches, and ask those bodies to each appoint
from their respective churches three persons,
who should consult with the pastors as one
large committee. The report was unanimously
adopted and the names of Revs. J. III. Dashiel
and c. H. Richardson were added to the origi-
nal committee. 1t is the present intention
Of the committee to commence in a small way,
renting house instead of attempting to build.
The amount of money they require before
they start will be a sum sufficient to pay the
running expenses of the institution for at least
one year, and this it is thought, will not be
difficult to collect

HOPE AND HELP MISSION,
A Statement Of its Work Presented to
the Commissioners.

The Commissioners, as stated in THE SrAR.
gave hearing Saturday to a delegation of
women representing the trustees Of the Hope
and Help. mission. A paper was read oy Mrs.
Mary E. Catln, the secretary Of the mission,
stating what the Home" has accomplised. and
the need Of assistance from the District of CO.
lumbia. The Mission" she said, grew out of
the work of the Woman's Christian Temperance
union, and was opened for the rescue of
women from the drink habit and from lives of
shame. The managers have made a practice
of sending lady visitors to houses freouepted
by Incorporate and fallen women. to become
acquainted with those who are in a condition
of mind to reform. Such women have been
brought to the home, put under influences cal
cuiated to produce reformation and taught
habits OF industry and purity. When possible
young girls have been returned to parental
homes. In other cases employment has been
secured, and they have thus been permanently
rescued from hayward lives. These women
have been permitted to regard this house as
tnelr nome In intervals when unemployed. One
hundred ana nfty women and girls have been
thus cared for during the last TWENTY-FIVE
month. The paper continues: ION January
10, 1885. we moved from 18th street to more
commodlous quarters. Our present home, con-
slstlng OF thirteen rooms, is at 305 Missouri
avenue northwest. The house is seriously out
OF repair, and greatly needs new plumbing
throughout, new heating arrangements, &c.
Our average expenses, though using the most
rl8id economy, amount to 800 per month. Our
daily average number of inmates for the past
year has been eight. The home has been, SO
far, supported wholly by voluntary contribu-
tons. We have proven our claim to your con-
slderation by nearly two years of labor without
asking for aid. When about a year ago aid
was asked from Congress for a similar home
Tor men the appropriation committee of the
House OF Representatives expressed the opinion
that such a home for women was even more
important than one for men. In view Of this
expressed opinion we have reason to believe
that Congress will be willing to aid this home if
the honorable District Commissioners are sat
lstied Of the substantial and reliable character
OF Its managers. We pray your careful
consideration of the details of this paper, and
most earnestly beg your kindly assistance and
interest In securing an appropriation from
Congress of $4,000 for the year 1SS9-'9O, in
order that we may be enabled to have the
house thoroughly repaired, and that we may
also carry out our plan for industries
established at the home, for the help of these
unfortunates."
The paper was signed by Mrs. Sarah d.
LaFetra (president), Mrs. Mary E. Catlin
Secretary, Mrs. Anna c. Mcdowell
(treasurer), Mrs. L. Knowles, Mrs Annie r.
MoultOn, Mrs. Helen NJ. Wood, Mrs. Maria Z.

SERIOUS CUTTING CASE.
The Frightful Cash Across Jerry Da-
cey's Face Made by John Brown.

Jeremiah Dacey, who sells fruit from push
cart, was cut across the face last evening by
carpenter named John Brown, and was seriously
of Mrs. Annie Revell, q widow, No. 724 5th
street. The widow has the rooms on the lower
floor and Brown occupies the second floor.
Dacey, who was under the influence of liquor,
was visiting the widow when the trouble took
place. When Dacey was cut he ran from the
house with blood streaming from the ugly
wound across his face. He was met by Officer
Montgomery, who took him to the Emergency
Hospital, where the cut was Dire ssed by DIR.
Sohn. The cash extended from the left temple
under the eye. across the face, and under the
bridge OF the nose. Had it started one-eighth
of an inch from where it did the
doctor said it would have proved fatal
Dacey's trousers were also cut near the waist
band. Thirteen stitches were put in the
wound in the face, and the injured man was
sent to his home. Meanwhile Officer Work had
gone to the house and arrested Brown. He
made no denial of the charge, but was only
sorry, he said, that he had not accomplished
his purpose and killed Dacey. Brown is an
Englishman and Dacey is an Irishman, but be-
cause he sells bananas Brown thought he was
an italian and referred to him as such. Brown
claimed that Dacey had insulted and assaulted
his (Brown's) wife, and for that reason he made
the attack on him. He stated that he attempt
ed to cut his bowels open. but did not succeed
because the knife was dull, and he then cut
him across the face. 1t is claimedby those not
connected with the Brown family that
Brown had some trouble with his wife
and threw dishes at her; that she ran
down stairs where Dacey was; that Brown fol-
lowed her, and then the trouble occurred. Mrs.
Revell is a good-looking widow. about thirty
five years old. Saturday night she purchased
gallon of whisky for 81, and Jerry Dacey
and another man named Jerry" were visiting
her when the murderous assault was made on
Dacey. The latter denies that he assaulted
Browns wife. To-day, in the Police Court, the
case was continued because Dacey was not able
to appear.

A Victory for POwderly.
T. B. BARRYs APPEAL IS NOT SUSTAINED BY THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

T. B. BARRY's APPEAL IS NOT SUSTAINED BY THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The committee of the knights of labor gen.
eral assembly to which the case of Barry, the ex-
PEELED member of the general executive board,
was referred, reported adversely to Barry's
appeal at indianapolis Saturday afternoon.
When the report was handed in Geo. Schilling
of Chicago, took the floor in Barry's behalf
and made a strong speech in favor of the ex-
PEELED member. General Master Workman
POwderly resigned his chair to Secretary Elliott
OF the grievance committee, and made a state
ment of his side of the case. He had stated at
the start of the debate that no applause would
be allowed, SO that the delegates expressed
their approval of what was said by their votes
At the end of the debate the roll was called
and the general executive board was sustained
by a vote of 122 to "a.
BARRY MAKES ANOTHER STATEMENT
Thomas b. Barry, the expelled member of
the general executive board of the knights of
labor, yesterday gave to the press a long arti-
Gle explaining his position and repeating his
former statements against the Powderly admin
istration. He says: The general assembly of
the knights OF labor is not fair representa-
tive gathering OF the industrial classes of the
order. The most INSCRIPTIONS methods have
been resorted to in order to prevent men who
were known to be in any degree opposed to the
administration from being elected as repre-
sentatives to this convention. Records were
manipulated and changed in the general offices
and membership credited to administration
districts, and representatives seated in the con-
ventiOn who have no legal right to a seat
therein, and representatives who were lawfully
elected denied a seat in the convention" He
reiterates his former charges against Powderly
and other members of the order, and proclaims
his own innocence of the accusations brought
against him.

ROCKVILLE, Nd, Nov. 10, 1885,
Mrs. s. A. Earhart, wife of Mr.. Sam1 Ear
hart, who was sent from here short time ago
to the Maryland insane asylum, died yesterday
at her home in Jamestown, in the ffty-thrd
year of her age. Mrs. Earhart was a native of
Pennsylvania, a graduate of one of the best
female schools of that state, and lady Of ac-
compiishments.
The circuit court was engaged yesterday in the
consideration of unimportant cases, and the
weeks work, outside of few left to the dis
erection OF the judges. consisted of the trial of
the case of Atwood Blunt agt. Harry Blunt in
regard to the settlement of a long-standing ac-
count. The jury returned verdict Of 1923 in
favor of plaintiff.
1t is reported that the grand jury has already
found thirty indictments against various per-
sons in the county for violation of the local OPP
ton law. The enforcement of this law each
term of court leads to excitement and bad
feeling in the community, and many persons of
strong temperance proclivities now declare
that the law should be repealed and high
license law enacted, as by it the sale of liquor
is not prevented and many make it means of
venting their private spite against those who
are competitors in business. At the meeting
of the next legislature an effort will be made
to have the law repealed, and high-license
law enacted.
