however, be has been in correspondence
with the American consul at Cairo. The
result was the transfer of good deal Of
money and the shipment of two mummies
Several days ago Mr.. Frank received notice
from the New York custom house that a
box billed as containing two mummies was
there, and that a duty of 800 had been
assessed upon them. Mr.. Frank cheerfully
paid the duty. He would not trust the box
to the express company, but brought it out
here himself. One mummy he wanted for
himself, and the other he intended to give
60 the public museum.
Yesterday afternoon he invited President

Director John l. Mitchell and Others inter
estod in the museum TO lunch with him.
After luncheon he led his guests into one of
his chambers OF antiquity and showed them

than the pyramids themselves The cover
was removed, the packing taken out of the
box, and two small objects completely

unwound. AS the last fold was taken away
they saw the semblauce of head

but tablespoonful Of imPalpable dust met
their gaze. The covering of the rest of the
body was then taken away, and the same

he paid $4,000 for the two mummies. He
intends to collect the duty Ne paid at the
custom house. There is no duty on dust, ne
says. and if the mummies were dust when
they reached here, they were certainly in
the same condition when they were taken off
the steamer at New York. He says that he
will consult the best lawyers in the country.

The Fall term of College is now in full session,
with an attendance little less than 300. Thus
far. there have been an unusual number of enter
tainments, among the most prominent of which,
was an ElOcutionary entertainment by Prof
Scorer. who has charge of the department of Elo-
cution in the College. Later, Miss Bacon. of
Painesville. gave public exhibition of her skill
and proficiency in the same science. Both of
these entertainments. though differing in style
and selections. were of the highest order and
well appreciated by the large audiences present.
Prof. Ellinwood. who has charge of the vocal
department of music, gave a vocal concert un-
assisted by other voices, a few evenings ago, to a
full house. His selections were from oratorios.
cantatas. sentimental and comic songs. and were
executed in the very highest degree of musical
science. eliciting unfeigned and hearty applause.
Prof. Ellinwood stands at the head of his pro-

RANDOLPH,

Two daring burglaries here last week have
thrown the whole town into fever of excitement.
On Wednesday night burglars broke into the
house of Chas. Delenbarger and without awak-
ening either him or his wife, relieved him of his
gold watch. and also took from his pants pocket
the keys to the store. which they coolly entered.
and opening the combination lock, rifed the safe
of its contents. including about 5000 worth of
| stamps belonging to Postmaster N. D. Hoskins
after which they took their departure. leaving no
clue or trace of their identity. nobody having
| either seen or heard them. Mr.. Dellenbarger's
| loss is from $500 to 5000.
| On the following night the house of W. E.
Merriman was entered by four masked men. who
| forced Mr.. Merriman. at the point of revoIyers
to open his safe. and then proceeded to ransack
the house. keeping Mr.. NJ, his mother and hired
girl closely guarded. They secured about 500
and fine gold watch and chain valued at 800 at
least from Mrs. Merriman. and large amount,
variously estimated at $500 to 5000. from Mr.
Merriman. but leaving about $12 belonging to
Miss Guthier, the hired girl. They then securely
bound all three of their victims and left having
horses at the Disciple Church sheds. So quietly
was it all done and so coolly. that one knew of
| it until Mr.. Merriman finally got loose. some two
| or three hours later and aroused the people.
There is but little hope of finding the villains, as
they did their work thoroughly and left no clues
behind. and. being we'll masked. it would be al
most impossible to identify any of them. They
| took plenty of time and did all their work thor
oughly and seemed to be old hands at the bust
ness. Detectives are at work on the case and
reward of $3.50 is offered for their capture. but
faint hopes entertained ofsuecess in this line.
| A Singing School of over 70 members is being
conducted by Prof. Jaeger. of Windham.
| A stormy session of the members of the Agri-
cultural Board was held at the Town Hall, last
Saturday night. A dissolution seems probable
and new society may be then formed, on a
| better foundation.
An entertainment by Prof. Scorer held the
boards at the Disciple Church last Friday eve
