OR MONEY
A CASE SIMILAR TO THE ATTEMPT
on THE LIFE Of RUSSELL.
SAGE.

Especial q Inn woar.D. |

Especial to TIM woRLDl
BERLIN, December 16.A case sim
liar to the recent attempt on the life Of
Russell Sage, in New York, occurred
in this city to-day. The imitator Of
Mr. Sage's assailant had apparently
followed closely the accounts published
here Of the Sage affair, as his
plan Of operation was exactly
the same as that Of the
New York dynamiter, although for
tunately at the critical moment he lost
his nerve and failed to carry out his
evil design. AS in the case Of Mr..
Sage the object was to extort money
under threat of instant death, and
the attempt, as in the Sage case, was
made upon wealthy man and one Of
some prominence. in the financial
world. The facts Of the case, as re-
ported to the police, are as follows:
During the business hours to-day a
young man entered the Offices in this
city occupied by Hermann q Co.,
bankers. The visitor was approached
BY an attendant, and when asked his
business in the Office he replied that he
wanted to have a personal and private
interview with the principal member of
| the firm on business Of most import
ant nature. The stranger was ushered
Unto waiting-room and Mr.. Hermann
soon joined him. When the two men
were alone the stranger handed the
banker letter and asked him to read
it. Mr.. Hermann did 50, and was
greatly surprised when he found that
|it contained demand TO pay over ten
thousand marks at once to the bearer,
with the threat that in case Of refusal
the premises would instantly be blown
up with dynamite.
Mr.. Hermann realized that he was
in critical position, but instead Of
parleying with the visitor he called out
loudly for help to arrest the man. The
fellow thereupon made dash from the
place, but number of persons had
been attracted by the cries Of Mr.. Her
mann and set out in pursuit Of the
fleeing stranger. He was captured
after sharp chase and was handed
over to the police, At the police sta
ton he was searched, Among the
various things taken from his pockets
were two packets Of gnnpowder and
two other packages containing white
powder, the nature Of which was not
known. The white powder has been
given to chemistfor examination and
is now being analvzed.

which attracted attention because Of
the subject 1t covers. The bill prohi-
bits employment, in any bureau or

GREENvrLLE, N. G., Dec. l5.-W. Z.
Grimsley, Of Snow Hill, who, on the
9Th instant, shot Rev. J. +. Alternately
for kissing his wife, made second as.
sault on Alternately on the streets Of
Snow Hill yesterday. Alternately was
on the streets for the first. time since
the shooting. Grimsley saw him, and,
with oaths, began firing at him with 4
pistol. Alternately drew a pistol and
returned the fire. Alternately was
struck on the left check with thirty
eight caliber ball, which passed through
and came out at the back Of his neck.
It is feared the wound win prove fatal.
Grimsley was struck ii the leg, but has
fed and cannot be found. The senti-
ment Of the community is strongly on
the side ofAbernathy, who alleges that
he only kissed Mrs. Grimsley goodbye
in fatherly manner as he was leaving
her. The people don't believe there
was the slightest criminalityA between
them Grfmsley's father so expresses
himself, and declares his belief ii the
entire innocence Of Alternately and
Mrs. Grimsley. There is a great ex-
citement in and around Snow Hill over
the affair, and indignation is 50 arous-
ed against Grimsley as to provoke
threats Of lynching if he is caught.
Warrants have been issued for Grims-
ley's arrest.

UNITED STATES COURT.
JUDGE JACKSON OPENS THE REGULAR
DECEMBER TERN IN
THIS CITY.
HE CALLS THE ATTENTION or THE
jury TO THE NECESSITY or
MORE STRICTLY ENfoRc-
ING THE LAW.


II was nearly three o'clock yesterday
afternoon when Judge jackson took
the bench and opened the December
term Of the United States Court. All
Of the court officers were present, and
there was quite a large pnpfber Of wit
nesses and attorneys present from var
ious sections Of the district, and the
court room was pretty well crowded.
The first business requiring the atten-
ton Of the court was the calling Of the
1 list Of Grand Jurors. The following
answered to their names
Thomas q. Smith, Gregory Rup-
penthol, ELIZA s. johnson, A. r. Nc
Mel, Hon. Chas. B. Smith, Decatur
Hedges. Hon. Columbus Sehon, M. D.
Neville, J. H. Keeling, J. B. Small, J.
B. Rees, D. NJ. Peulin, Isaac L. Enoch,
W. II. Mccullough, ]. II. Alexander,
G. T. Gosorn, N. q. Kline and Hon. g.
W. Atkinson.
After the Jurors had taken their
seats Judge jackson instructed them
at considerable length as to their
duties. His remarks occupied nearly
an hours time, and they were equally
as interesting and valuable to the menu
bers Of the bar and spectators present
MS to the Grand Jurors. His Honor
referred to the grand republic under
which the American people lived, and
tried to impress upon his listeners the
Importance Of preserving the institu-
tionsandlaws. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
vote, he said, was the corner stone Of
the political liberty Of the country and
much depended upon the strict enforce
ment Of the election laws.
He very much regretted to say that
the crimes Of bigamy and perjury were
ON the increase in this country, and
unless desperate remedies were RESORT
| ed to, the very principles on which
| the nation had been founded would be
undermined. Judge jackson also urged
the necessity Of enforcing the law pro-
hibiting the importation Of alien labor
ers, paupers, criminals and Cinnamon
from abroad. Mr.. T. W. B. Duclwall,
son Of Judge Duckwall, Of Berkeley
Springs, was admitted to practice be-
forcthe Court. Thefollowing petitjurors
were sworn in: G. Merreman, Marcel
| lus Baker, Adam Brenneman, .. s. G..
Pitzer, VIM. Widmyer, Abraham S.
Miller, s. N. Miller, James r. Clipp,

lW. B. Hill, A. j. Lemaster, w. X.
Light, H. M. Couchman, S. s. Slower,

Monroe.
The first case called up was that Of
the United States against Edward
Wells, charged with violation If the
Internal Revenue laws in having re-
tailed liquor without license. The de-
PENDANT plead guilty. and the District
Attorney asked that he be dealt with
leniently insomuch IS It was his first
offense.

HAND OVER HAND.
Psriious Journey OF Mon Imprisoned In
Coal Minc.

| Coal Minc.
| SHAMoKIS, Pa, Sept. IS For cigh,
hours Saturday sixteen men were
imprisoned In an old chamber In the Iiick
ory Ridge coal mine, not knowing what
second they would be crushed to death.
| When they entered the mine at Z o'clock
IN the morning Inside Foreman William
Reinhardt directed them To rob" the pill
lars This Is considered tho most danger
GUS Of inside work. A pillar divides one
breast, OF chamber, from another, aud
after all the coal Is taken from the cham
Der, then the pillar is usually removed. a
chain pillar divides the levels.
At the ridge the mon were working on
the first level, aud 100 feet OF rock and coal
lay between It and the second lift. which
had been well worked out. About an hour
otter the fret pick had been sunk the bot
tom Of the gangway cracked ip hundreds
Of places, while through the flssure. came
blasts Of air and dirt. A violent swaying
then ensued, mingled with a sudden roar
And crunching Of coal.
The imprisoned men were surrounded
on all sides by falling coal There was no
possible way Of exit other than by the
way they had entered. But there was an
impossible chasm between them and IL.
Suddenly they heard voices.
"Are you alivei" cried Foreman Rein.
Lardt, who, with Tom Llewellyn and
Davi9 Williams had gained the entrance
OF the gangway as soon as the fush oc-
Cured
The rescuin2 party were overjoyed on
learning that tho men were safe. How TO
get the miners across the abyss was next
in order a rope was procured, and for
four hours Reinhardt and his men tried TO
cast an end across.
Sometimes II would land on treacher-
Gus ledge almost within reach, and then IL
would go whistlin2 down In dark ness aud
dust Once it fell on rock which seemed
solid, but as Dan Oyster was about to
seize 1t the rock and rope went down.
Bat finally the rope was caught. Once
securely tied about "a post, the men con-
suited as 10 who would make the attempt
TO cross tue chasin, hand over hand, sus-
pended from the rope. II was perlous
undertaking, but. as the way led 20 lib
erty, II did not take long for Carson
DeLong to make up his mind TO try II.
Bidding his comrades good.by, the In
trepid fellow fung himself into space and
went hand over hand. The rope cracked
and swayed. Several times he thought he
would fall, but with strained muscles and
stout heart DeLong went on and on and
at last was safe. The others followed, and
when the last had crossed they first wept
like children and then cheered loud and
long.
On being hoisted to the surface 2OOO per-
sons cheered and danced with Joy.

DARING ROBBEkY.-Theh nrelarizirg
and robbery at Edgar Bar"ns~c's stone
Plaqu.mine Brnle, an Frid y night of
last week, was one Of the most daring
crimes ever committed in Acadia
Parish. On a bright moonlight five uu-
masked men break into the store, drill
and blow open an iron safe. take ST.
100 in cash and about 1900 worth OF
goods, drafts aud notes. The robbery
Mas well planned and the burglary
we'll executed. Tw" things are evi.

1t has been only about thrre months
since u safe was blown open and rob
bed in Crowley, and sm,n after another
store Was broken intn. While many
believe that Bsrouss-'s store was hur-
glarizrd 10y strangers, others think
that all of the recent rnbheries
were committed BY the sanne gang.
and they reside in or near Acadia
Parish. Up to this date there ia no
clew to the robbers. Doubtless our

rooms hereafter. X .hh r., are too
