vvho Wnr s,ana enc Loss.

HURLEY, Wis, Sept. 26.-There is
little likelihood that the money taken
from the Iron Exchange bank last
Friday night will be recovered. The
crookmen left no clue to their identity
and burglars and money have disap-
peared as completely as if at the bot
tom of the river. This brings the par
ties interested in the robbery to the
question as to who will stand the loss
of the S39, 900. 1t is understood that
the United States Express company
will make an attempt to shift the
blame for the loss of the money on the
bank, and litigation in the courts seems
to be the inevitable result. From the fact
that no reward has been offered for the
capture of the men guilty of the burg
larry which is usually done in such
cases by the express company, the con :
clusion is drawn that it is to show that
they are not interested in bringing the
robbers TO conviction.

ed to free coinage. and outlined as 8
substitute, the proposition that the.
secretary of the treasury be required
to buy and coin four million dollars
worth Of silver bullion each month,
providing that not more than 99I cents
or 4l24 grains of silver be the amount
of silver to be contained in q silver
dollar, and that with the coinage of
silver the legal tender notes Of the
government be Withdrawn dollar for
dollar as the silver is issued and that
gold and silver certificates be made
legal tender. Mr.. st. John c0Rtended
that that plan solved the great ques-
ton Of retiring the legal tender notes
of the government rapidly and without
diminishing the sum of money in ciEcu-
lation. In careful argument he ex-
planned and defended the plan.
A motion to recommend to congress
such action as outlined In Mr.. st.
Johns paper was referred to the APP
propriate committee.
at this point the interstate COM
merce commissioners, who were hold
/ ing session in the city, entered the
convention hall by invitation. They
were escorted by Major VIM. Warner
and G.. III. Nettleton. Judge Cooley
was called upon to speak. and being
| introduced by President Pearson. he
said that ne and his colleagues wished
they -mighT attend all the sessions Of
| the convention, s.but we are entrusted
/ to ascertain the extent and manage
ment of abusinesS that we wish we
could bring under like rules and the
certain regularity of the banking bust
ness, which very much fear it will be
some time before we are able to do"
MesSrS. Morrison, VeaZley and
Bragg also responded with short
speeches to calls made upon them by
| the delegates.
In answer to loud calls for War
| ner, the ex-c0ngresSman was intro
duced by the president as a man who
didn't want an office. The major
thanked the delegates for their kind
ness in calling for him, but he pleaded
lack of experiences in public speaking
and asked to be excused from making
a speech.
Hon. Logan III. Boots, of Little Rock,
moved as the executive committee had
several amendments to the constitu-
ton to propose, the chairman of the
committee be heard and the amend
ments acted upon. The report was
made by John j. Knox, of New York
/ the president of the executive council
The principal changes recommended
| were for the provision of an article di-
/ Viding the executive council into three
parts so that one third of it might be
elected each year, the term of Office
being made three years and that the
different state bankers associations
be given one delegate each at the an
nual meeting of the national associa-
ton.
The amendments prevailed and the
state associations were instructed to re-
port their selections to the president
before 3 o'clock.
The convention adjourned to meet
tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock.
This afternoon the delegates were
given a ride over the various cable
lines of the city which pass most of the
points of general interest.
This evening banquet was rendered
to the delegates and visiting bankers
at the den of the Priests of Pallas
The banquet is believed to be the lar
gest ever served in the west, covers be

PARKERBURG, w. Va. Sept. 25.-
Six months ago, Eta Robinson, aged
Is, who was visiting her brother, a
farm hand for Thomas Handy, a
wealthy real estate owner of Putnam,
county, disappeared one morning with
fine horse belonging to Nathan Nc
Coy. After a search for some days
throughout the entire neighborhood,
including SO me of the toughest of
West Virginia's hills and thickest ra-
vines, the horse was found in the girls
possession near the Ohio river. While
her pursuers were debating what to do
with her, she dashed into the river,
still on horseback. and endeavored to
swim across, but was captured and
while being returned to jail, told how
| she had travelled alone through a
strange country after night. She was
placed in Jail, but broke out and re-
| turned to her brother, when Mccoy,
| from whom she had stolen the horse,
took pity on her youth, refused to pros
ecute her.
A short time later horse belonging
/ to farmer named Smith disappeared
with Eta Just at the time when the
/ low country was all flooded. The
horse was tracked through the waters
| to the other side of the Kanawha val
| ley where girl and animal we're found
4 in a hollow. The girl had swan a
stream mile wide on horseback. She
| had slept out at night, living on what
she could steal. For the second time
her youth protected her and she was
not prosecuted.
Six weeks later tie girl horse thief
stole horse from Lewis Lostri, was
pursued a the Ohio, captured and
brought back to the Putnam county
Jail. Her winning ways won the con
fldrnce of the jailer and he allowed bel
many privileges. Two weeks ago he
awoke to fiud that she had gone. hav'
ing made hor escape by cutting through
an old wall, 1t was afterWard fOun6
that she had stolen suit of mans
clothes and taken stable key and haC
| stolen fine horse and fed the coun
try. Fer ten days ALT Burnett, the de
tectiVe, and a posse secured the coun-
try in vain. but she was finally cap
tured with horse still in her possession
near her old home. During her esca-
pade she had lived on berries, corn o.
anything she could find. and alone wan
dered through the widest and most
dangerous territory.
This young adventures does moi
steal from any motive but simply the
love of excitement and adventure. Hel
face CLOVIS with youth and apparent In
noeence, and her every look and actor
deny that her peculiar conduct is from
evil motives. Physically she is beauti-
full, always full of life. and a general
favorite. Her education and manners
have not been neglected, neither is she
other than neat and comedy in her at
tire. Her youth, beauty and general
excellence in many ways have created
vast deal of sympathy in her favor
and some of the most prominent citi-
zens of Putnam county are interesting
themselves in securing her release.

CANTON, o., Sept. 26.-When the
great Deuber Watch Case works were
moving here from Cincinnati and the
Hampton works from Springfield, Mas
sachusetts with 5000 people, the S11,-
OO0, 000watch trust combined on the Deu
Der enterprise and expelled it from the
association. at that time this trust
controlled the jobbers of the country.
This compelled the establishment of
individual jobbing houses from Boston
and New York to Cincinnati. A dis
patch from New York says that four
of the largest jobbers in the country
from Boston, Chicago and New York
have gone out of the trust. The fight
has been the most bitter ever known,
and the Independent manufacturers
ana jobbers are coming out ahead.
