NEWARK, n. j., July 2y.-Oue Of the
most daring robbcries ever attempted In
Newark in broad daylight was frustrated
by the GOODNESS Of two employees OF tho
New Jersey Oil Company at its Office, 10
Liberty street.
While Bookkeepers Charles Clutches
ter, of Brooklyn, and William Parsons
were in che Office at 1880 o'clock a young
man wearing u check suit, tall, we'll
built, and with a broad-brimmed som
brero on the back of his head, walked up
to the desk. Parsons arose from % low
chair in which he was sitting aud walk.
ed to where the stranger stood. Sudden
ly the latter whipped out a pair Of re-
volvers and levelled one at Chichester
and the other at Parsons. At the same
time he made known his mission by say
ing in a commanding toue;
give Mo All Your Money"
Neither Chichester nor Parsons was
badly frightened by this unlocked for
demand of the bold highwiyman-in
fact they were u%ncommouly cool, bu
after it was over they could not tell Just
how they kept 50. The fellow moved
cautiously along the desk until he
reached u wire door leading into the pri-
vate office. The door closed behind him
with a spring latch, but he seemed not
to notice this. Walking up to Chichester,
with the rovolvers still elevated, he de-
munded in gruff tonesi
"Where's the moueyY'
There was, fortunately, but little In
the office, and Chichester replied, "Help
yourself" as he moved away from the
desk. The mar opened several drawers,
and, finding nothing, turned again to
Chichester and askedi
"How much have you in your peck
etsY"
Chichester drew some small change
from hts pockets, but the robber was not
satisfied and searched Chichestor's peck
cts himself, but took nothing.
The Robber Escapes.
While this was going on the book
keepers talked as loud as possible, In or
der to attract the attention of President
o. w. Young, who was in private apart
ment on the floor above. He heard the
unusual noise and conversation and
started down stairs. The robber heard
him and made a break for the door. The
spring latch made him a prisoner. Sud-
denly turning backward he cleared the
desk counter and sprang through an
open window into the street Just rs Mr..
Young got down stairs. Mr.. Young,
Parsons and several passers-by started in
pursuit of the fleeing highwayman, but
he escaped.
Meanwhile the Third Precinct police
had been notified, and six men went out
with Capt, DAILY. They found the place
where the robber had taken to the
swamps, and several times thought they
had him surrounded, but each time were
mistaken. Superintendent Of Police
Brown at once telephoned a description
of the fugitive to Elizabeth, Now Bruins
wick, New York and other places, calling
for his arrest in case he escapes across
the Newark meadows.

MagnItleent ponatIon
From IVfnc1ester's Friend Charles
Broadagay Rouss.
rFrom dc Winchester Times.l

The inhabitants of Winchester,
great and small, one and all, were
delighted and gratified beyond meas
ure and expression on Friday after
noon last when the announcement was
made that Winchester kind and
generous friend. Mr.. Charles Broad
way Rouss, had made the princely
and magnificent donation of 50 800
through our gallant and much beloved
citizen, ex-Gov. E. w. n. Holiday,
for the purpose Of erecting substan-
tiaI iron fence all around our Gem
etery grounds-which comprises
Mount Hebron. StonewaIl, the old
Luthern graveyard, and the several
additions purchased by the Cemetery
Company-in all comprising more
than mile around its confines. New
er has this princely gift been exceed
ed in our city's history and tits but
one more evidence of the kindly feel
ing that our generous benefactor has
for the historic old place in which his
early life was spent.
The name of G. B. Rouss will go
down to unborn generations of Win
chestrians as synonym of all that is
charitable, good and benevolent. This
last grand and splendid gift is fit
ting capstone for the many other benz
efactions, both public and private,
made by him in this city.
The thousands of dead that lie
buried within the sacred precincts of
Mt. Hebron comprise not only those
who have ttpassed over the river"
during the last century, but near five
thousand of those of 1S61-65 who wore
the gray and fell yalliantly fighting
for their principals on many battle
fields in and around Winchester. The
citizens of every Southern State, as
well as those of our beloved city, may
rest assured that their revered dead
will sleep on and on surrounded with
handsome iron fence that will for
ages stop the inroads of ruthless man
or depredating beast. The unosten-
tatious manner in which Mr.. Rouss
gives of his great wealth, acquired
by honest labor, backed by pluck and
enterprise, stamp him as one of Ma
ture's noblemen. Imbued with a
heart full of tenderness and charity,
this gift and the purpose for which it
is intended were of his own sugges-
tons and carried into effect with that
simplicity of manner and generosity
of heart that has characterized all of
his former charities.

What q MheeIIng EDITOR says.

The Wheeling lateHigencer has
issued a mammoth special State in
dustrial development edition, from
which we extract the following in
reference to this locality:
Twelve miles up the valley branch
is historic Charlestown, which is Just
now the scene of great Industrial
activity, due to the movement inau-
gurated by the Charlestown Mining,
Manufacturing and Improvement
Company. The company was or
ganized sometime since with capital
of $500, 600, and has laid off eight
hundred and fifty acres of land in
and adjoining the corporate limits
into streets. avenues, blocks and
reservations for manufacturing sites.
Few towns in West Virginia, or on
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, are so
faYorably located. Indeed, it is
called, by reason of its location and
railroad facilities, 6 the key to the
far-famed Shenandoah Valley and
the threshold of the New South. :"
Besides the Baltimore & Ohio, it is
on the Norfolk & Western through
line from New York to New Orleans,
and other roads are projected.
Beautifully situated in the centre
of the fertile and healthful valley,
and with the mountains on either side
rich in minerals and timber, Charles
town is sure to become one of the
largest manufacturing centres in the
country. The present population is
about {, 1000, but the activity referred
to above is bringing in many new
people, and the growth in the next
few years will undoubtedly be very
rapid. The attention of capitalists
and the owners of manufacturing
plants is being attracted to the adj
vantages offered, and large number
of new industries have located here,
while negotiations with others are
pending. As with Martinsbnrg and
other towns mentioned, an important
factor considered by these new
Corners is, in addition, the favorable
distributing base for their products,
the cheapness and contiguity of raw
materials. Vast deposits of brown
hematite and wash ores are within
five miles of the town, and by the
Baltimore G Ohio railroad, it is ac-
cessible to all the valuable iron beds
of southwest Virginia, to all the West
Virginia and Pennsylvania coal and
coke fields, and to the vast forests of
Virginia and West Virginia, the most
extensive hard wood area in the
United States.
The easy outlet to all the markets
has beenreferred to. Charlestown is
within two hours of Washington,
three hours of Baltimore, five hours
of Philadelphia, seven hours of New
York, and within from six to fen hours
of many other sea ports. It is within
sixteen hours of Cincinnati, twelve
hours of Pittsburgh and twenty-five
hours of Chicago.
The best evidence of the confidence
felt by business men in Charlestown's
future as an industrial centre is
found in the fact the stock of the
Improvement Company, when placed
on the market, was all taken without
the aid of ground floor. These
funds are being used for improvement
purposes, and to afford free sites and
other substantial inducements to
manufacturing enterprises.

White Waiter Girls.


Mr.. j. Watkins Lee, who has made
the Rawley Springs a success for
several seasons, was in Stanton Sat-
urday on his.way to open the water
ing place for the season. He said
the colored men as dining room
walters had given him so much
trouble in the past that for the COM
ing season he had engaged white
girls as walters. At the Hotel In
termont, the new and ffrst-class hotel
at CoVington, Allegheny, the pro-
prietor has employed white girl
walters. At the Hotel Elkton, the
new and handsome hotel at Elkton,
Rockingham, which has been open
about a month, the dining room is
also waited on by white waiter girls,
every one of whom are from Rock
ingham county. Before opening,
the proprietor brought on from New
York an expert white girl waiter, who
drilled the new girls in their duties.
A Staunton lady who stopped there
last week says their service is per-
feet. All the hotel keepers in this
section are beginning to agree that
the proximity of the great mountain
watering places of Virginia, which
are all open in the summer, makes it
very difficult to retain satisfactory
colored dining room help in the towns
or at the smaller watering places,
and there is a general feeling among
proprietors to end the struggle by
employing white girls. Wherever
the change has been -Coving-
ton and Elkton-both the travelling
public and the hotel proprietors
speak highly of the new service.

The Harrisonburg Register says of
the recently deceased mother of Hon.
Chas. T. O'FerraII: Mrs. O'FerraII
was in many respects remarkable
woman. She possessed great force
of character, untiring energy and an
iron will, but was withal the emodi-
ment of kindness and gentleness.-
When duty or the yearnings of af-
lection called, her will seemed uu-
conquerable and her endurance limit
less; in June 1868, hearing at home
of the probably mortal wounding of
her son, who was in the Confederate
army, she started Immediately and in
less than twenty-four hours was at
his bedside. having crossed rugged
mountains, forded swollen streams
and travelled rough roads a distance
of more than seventy miles. By care
full nursing she raised him from we'll
nigh mortal illness, and sent bin
forth again to battle in a cause for
which she cherished the intense de-
votion of the typical Southern woman
of that day. Her affection for her
step children was beautiful, indeed,
and their grief at her death will be
scarcely less than that of her own
children. Frequently her step-sons,
now old men, living in remote Sec
tions of the South and West, made
long pilgrimages to pay their homage
to her and to listen once again to a
voice whose music soothed them in
years long past.
AS wife, mother and friend she was
a model woman, May she rest in
peace,

HIS K1NpNEss CAUSED his DEAr1


HIS KINDNESS CAUSED Hrs DEATH.
Frequently man loses his life
while risking it in the performance of
a deed of bravery and daring, but it
is seldom that life is sacrificed in the
mere performance of a kind deed
But it is thought the death of John
N. Ames, formerly of Camden, which
occurred in Detroit recently, was
caused in this way. He took sick,
frtendless boy from the street into his
office, wrapped him in his own over
coat, and notified the authorities, who
took the boy to the hospital, where he
soon died of malignant diphtheria.
Mr.. Ames was soon taken with the
same disease and died.
