DARING BANK ROBBERS.
Two DesperadoeS Almost Rival the
Exploits of the Younger Brothers.

Two DesperadoeS Almost Rival the
Exploits of the Younger Brothers.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. IA special to the
Republic from Efingham, H., says:
This city was the scene of bank robbery
to-day at noon that almost rivals the ex-
ploits of the YOUNGER brothers.
There was a soldiers 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, de-
maflded the cash. The cashier started as
if to comply with the demand, but hastily
| skipped behind the safe door and yelled
He was unarmed, but was brave
enough to stand his ground. Thus
| shielded from the robbers weapons he
knew he had them partly foiled at least.
At this unexpected 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.
;tAn this occupied but few seconds,
and pursuit was quickly made. Hun
dreds of people started in pursuit before
the robbers got out of sight, but as they
were armed they kept the pursuers at
bay with their own weapons. At last
they were completely surrounded, and,
seeing escape impossible, they threw up
| their hands and surrendered.
The excitement was at fever heat, and
had the robbers fired single shot they
would have been promptly lynched. The
money secured by them-S2 S200-was also
| recovered, 1t being found in the coat
| pocket of one of them.
The desperadoes gave their names as
William Mcclure and III. O'Neal. They
are strangers here. Had it not been for
the bravery of the cashier, and the fortu-
nate position of the bank door, they
would have succeeded in robbing the
bank, with hundreds of people passing
| to and fro in front of it.
The Cashier had a revolver in the
drawer, but could not get at it. At the
time the robbers entered he was b1sily
engaged cashing up, and saw the muzzles
of the two revelvers confronting him.
The Cashier, Joseph Partridge, Jr., is
only 20 years of age, and his bravery
saved big robbery.

TO AID HEBREW COLONIES.
The Jewish Colonization Associate,

The Jewish Colonization Association
Incorporated in London.
LONDON, Sept. 10.-The Jewish Coloni-
zation Association has been registered in
London under the Companies Act, with
permission to dispense with the use of
the word Limited" although it's liabil-
ity is limited. The capital is e2,0OO,0 600,
in e100 shares. Baron Hirsch has 1880
shares and Baron Rothschild, Ernest
Cassell, Julian Goldsmith, e. d. Macatta,
L. III. Goldschmidt of Paris, Solomon
Reinach of Paris and BENJAMIN Cohen of
London one share each.
The objects of the association, which
are set out at great length, may be briefly
stated as to promote past emigration of
Jews from Europe and Asia to any other
part of the world and to establish colonies
in North and South America and else
where for farming, commercial and
other purposes; the maintenance of pub
lie works of all kinds, roads, railway
bridges. water courses, telegraphs, facto-
rleS, and even forts are provided for, as
well as Synagogues, clubs and everything
conducive to the social and religious well
fare of the colonists.
The association also resolves the right
of great trading corporation. 1t may
produce mining concessions. loan colon
lists money and equipment for industries,
act as bankers and carry on any lawful
commerce, trade or business
The Times, referring to the above men
toned association, says: This colossal
scheme is the most remarkable one of the
kind ever launched by practical men. 1t
is impossible, however, not to entertain
misgivings as to it's future. The fitness
of Jews for the proposed career NAV be
doubted, while if is worked on large
scale the Gar might refuse to let his peo-
pie go. Finally the magnitude of the
scheme exposes it to innumerable risks.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
The Cruiser San Francisco Ordered to
Mare Island

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE cruiser
San Francisco has been ordered from the
Chilean coast to Mare Island, where she
will be docked, cleaned and painted. The
bottom has become very foul. Admiral
Brown will come north with her, and
will continue in command of the vessels
on the Pacific station. 1t is probable
that the San Francisco will remain al
Mare Island to be in readiness for any
emergency that may arise.
DIR. William Martin of the navy, after
three years. absence in San Francisco,
has returned to Washington to await or
ders from the department At the Ebbett
House last night he paid high tribute to
the hospitality of the people on the slope.
''San Francisco" he said, ''is one of the
great cities of the world. its climate is
fine. its citizens are the cleverest and its
opportunities for enjoyment and recrea-
ton are almost unlimited" ts
A railway mail service has been es-
tablished from Bay Junction to Mill
Valley, Cal, and back six times a week,
or as much oftener as trains may run.

Before she had reached the opposite

meant to use her money as she pleased.
Thereupon Father Kelly arose and said,
"This has gone far enough"
At that moment two men came in at a
side door and threw cloth over her face.
After that she knew nothing more until
she felt as if she was on lake. She thinks
that was last night, and that she has been
overdosed with chloroform, water being
applied as restorative. The next she
remembers was about o'clock this after
noon, when she was taken from the de-
pot in carriage to certain place in this
city, though she did not then know what
city it was. She denies that she is the
spook priestess and Odelia Diss Debar OF
New York, as has been asserted.
