found Archbishop Feehsn and Father
Kelly present. They presented her a
paper, which they told her to
sign. She refused, saying that,

meant to use her money as she pleased

This has gone far enough" AT that mo-

threw a cloth over her face After that

she was on lake. She thinks that was

ATHENS, Sept. ia collision has taken
place off Cape Colonna between the Italian
steamship Taormina, of the Italian
Messsgeries company, and The Greek
steamship Thessalia. The Taormina sank
soon after the accident, drowning her cap
tain and several of her crew and forty
cabin passengers. The second officer of
the Taormina and number of passengers
standing on the bridge at the time the
collision occurred were saved by the boats
of the Thessaia.
The damage done 10 the Taormina by her
collision with tho Thessalia was so great
she sank in few minutes after being
struck by the Greek steamship. Most of
the Taormina's passengers were in their
births at the time the vessels collided. and
the latest estimate is hundred persons
were drowned. The Thessalia is badly
damaged forward, but by keeping the

A BANK ROBBERY.
An Exploit That Rivals the
Younger Brothers.
During Soldiers Reunion at dillingham;.
Ill, Two Desperadoes Enter the First Ma
tiOnal and Hold up the Cashier.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. ia special to the
Republic from Effingham, H., says This
city was the scene of bank robbery to-
day at noon that almost rivals the exploits
OF the Younger brothers. There was sol
diers' reunion and while the street was
lined with people two desperadoes stepped
into the First National bank and presenting
revolvers at the head of Cashier Partridge.
demanding the cash. The cashier started
as If to comply with the demand but hastily
stepped behind the safe door and yelled
Tor help. He was unarmed but was
brave enough to stand his
ground as thus shielded from the
robbers weapon, he knew he had them
partially foiled at least. At that unex-
pected turn of affairs, one of the robbers
sprang over the private entrance, while
the cashier was covered with revolver
and, grabbing what money he could, sprang
out and the two escaped.
All this occupied but few seconds and
pursuit wac quickly made Hundreds Of
people started in pursuit before the robbers
got out of sight, but as they were armed
they kept their pursuers at bay with their
own weapons. At last they were completely
surrounded and seeing escape was
impossible, they threw up their hands and
surrendered. Excitement was at fever
heat aud had the robbers fired a single shot
they would have been promptly lynched.
The money secured by them, 5000, was
also recovered, it being found in the coat
pocket of one of them. The desperadoes
gave their names as William Mcclure and
H. O'Neal They are strangers here
Had it not been for the bravery of the
cashier and the fortunate position of the
bank door, they would have succeeded in
roObing the bank with hundreds of neonla
passing 10 and fro in front OF it, The cashier
had revolver in his drawer, but could not
get at it. At the time the robbers entered
he was busily engaged cashing up and saw
the muzzies of two revolvers confronting
him The cashier, Joseph Partridge, jr., is
only twenty years of age and his bravery
saved the bank being robbed.

Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1891-04-25

THE effect of the legislation of the
billion dollar congress is beginning to be
felt in the treasury department, and al
ready Secretary Foster has began to
scheme as to how he can get the $780,
600, 900 that must be paid on the 1st of
July for pensions. He has decided to
utilize the SIS, 100000 in silver half dol
lars now in the treasury by depositing
them in the national banks, thus making
them available for the government
current expenses. Another item aside
from the congressional appropriations
becoming payable after July 1, that is
taxing Mr. Fosters ingenuity to provide
for, is the $4,000, 900 of A. per cent
bonds that will mature in September.
Although it has for some weeks been
given out that all of these bonds would
be taken up at or before maturity, we
have it on good authority that it is
the present intention of MIR Foster to
allow those in the hands of the banks
to remain outstanding at a reduced rate
of interest, if the banks will consent to
it. Whether he can legally do this
without the passage of a special flu nding
act of congress is a debatable question.

NEW YoRK, April 25.-Frank Patrick
Slavin, tho Australian prize-hghter, or
''Pat" Slavin, as he is better known in
antipodes, has at last touched American
soil and is now fairly aching to get on a
match with any fighter in the country.
He arrived hero on the Germanic, and If

be q good man. He stands feet Ia
inches In height, measures AZ 1-2 inches
around the chest, weighs about 200
pounds and looks every inch q fighter.
youth and Irish blood on his side.
Slavin is accompanied by Charlie Mitch
ell and Pony Moore.
Slavin's statement that he will remain
in this country only 10 weeks is rather
disappointing. Kilrain, who would prob
ably be the first man to meet him, would
have considerable work to do before he
could fit himself for hard mill. By the
time he would be ready Slavin would be
about leaving the country or have already
gone, perhaps. Then the winner of the
Corbett-Jackson match, which does not
take place until the latter part OF May
would doubtless desire to meet Slavi n
also, but would not have time to prepare
for another hard battle. But IL Kilrain
is in any kind of shape at present, he
could be fit before very long.
Pony Moore and his son-in-law, Charley
Mitchell, visited Miners Eighth Avenue
Vaudeville Theatre and occupied a box.
During the performance Jake Kilrain,
who takes part, was ushered into the box
to be introduced to the party. Kilrain
pleasantly greeted Moore, but refused to
shake hands with Mitchell and made
things quite interesting to the audience
by loudly denouncing Mitchell as "no
gentleman" and refusing to shake the
hand of the English prize-fighter. Nit

sentimental, cried like baby when Kill

THE official estimate of the popula.
ton of Great Britain is given at over
$4,000, 900, which is proportionally de-
crease from the figures of previous
decades. Various causes are assigned
for this falling off, but principally it is
believed to be due to the low marriage
rate, the corresponding decrease in the
birth rate, and the large increase in
emigration to the distant English colo.
MES. 1t was disappointment when il
was found that our own census did not
bring the population up to the right
standard, and for different reasons the
English people are subjected to the
same check in their expectations.
