PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 23-The excite
ment over the failures of the Lawrence
Bank, and Long & Co., an iron firm, is sub
siding. Cashier John Hoer of the defunct
bank is still among the missing, ,and his con-
tinued absence is creating considerable sur
prise. Rumors of all sorts regarding his
disappearance are in circulation, although
he still retains the confidence and esteem of
the bank officials, and every one who knew
him in Lawrenceville. There seems to be
no question about the depositors getting
dollar for dollar from the bank, and it is
also believed that the assets Of Long & Co.
will be ample to pay their creditors.

Assets Merely Nominal.

merely nominal. The firm expects an ex-
tension of time, and feels confident that if
settlement can be made allowing them six,
twelve and eighteen months, they will be
able to pay 100 cents on the dollar.

patent barrel factory, headquarters of
which are in Detroit The firm has dealt
principally in Java coffee. 1t is an old es-
tablishment. A quarter of a century ago
it was known as Sanger. Birds & Fisher.

to the Miner by Rocky Mountain tele.
graph. 1.-THE robbery Of Tooley & Hunts
place last night ia the topic of conversation
on the street tonight. There are no new
Developments in the case. The thief well
knew his ground and probably had been
watehing for this opportunity for some
time. The bartender placed the coin which
was in three sacks, in the safe about 15
miputss sfter II O'Clock last night.
There was but $50 OF the 81, ,092 stolen in
silver. The balance was gold except one
five dollar bill.
The proprietors have nothing to say re-
garding the robbery save that they haveno
suspicion whatever and are entirely at sea.
They have been running two faro tables
from 2 o'clock in the afternoon till mid
night, when the money on hand is turned
over to the bar tender who places it in
sacks and deposits it in the safe.
The inner vault OF the safe 10 kept locked
all the time and only the proprietors have
the combination. In this vault was agood
sum which would have heeled the robber,
as well as il he had robbed train or stage.
He. however, had not time to linger and
when the favorable opportunity came
stepped over the low railing, threw back
the combination, which had not been fully
thrown, opened tho door, grabbed the
sacks and made of, all in less than one
minutes time.
The city police have their eye on a num-
bef OF suspicious characters and we hope
tomorrow to be able to chronicle the cap
ture OF the william and the recovery of the
coin.

cline had expired and no recourse remained
him but to make the canvass. Not wish.
ing to be elected he absolutely refused to
do any electioneering, and still whom the

Democratic opponent, Mr.. Kennedy, had
tied. He proposed to the latter to draw
lots to decide, but was confronted by p
stern law which prohibits such proceeding.
He next asked for recounting but this
also was prohibited by the same law. His

and the other by himself, and to have the
votes OF those precil cts recounted to see il
some error in the count might be discov-
