BANK BURGLARS AT ELKT0N,
An Attempt Upon the Second
National Bank This Morning.


Three burglars Started to Effect an
Entrance But We're Fired at by the
Waterman and Scared Away.
Special correspondence OF Gazette and journal
ELKToN, Mp, Feb. 26.-About 9
O'Clock, this morning, while George
Homer, Waterman at the Second Ma
tional Bank of Elkton, was eating his
morning lunch, with lights turned out,
at the foot Of the steps leading to the
directors room in the roar of the bank
he was suddenly startled by noise nj
the lock of the rear door. about six feet
from him.
Rising to his feet and going to the
door he detected the voices Of three
mon, who were making a bold effort to
unlock the door with false keys. They
failed to turn the bolt in the lock, which
Homer held intact with key in the
inside, and one Of the men exclaimed /:
" Take OIL the keeper of the lock, as this
is tho only place to enter this building.n
At this remark Homer J." 'nned IN
stairs in the dark, with his CIV YER in
band, and fired three shots il. .pid sue.
cession from the rear window at the
men below, who took TO their heels, and
made their escape by the side entrance.
Owing to the darkness he was unable to
see them.
The shots were plainly heard and not
q lew townsmen We're aroused from
their slumbers by the reports from the
revolver. This morning the keeper of
the door lock was found removed from
It's place and the marks of two pistol
balls were found on the pavement at the
door. IL is thought the men were the
gang OF burglars who operated here
successfully about two weeks ago on
the sale OF the Scott Fertilizer Company
and Keys 81 Miller Had they gained
an entrace to the bank building, they
would doubtless have attempted to gag
the Waterman and tap the large vault,
which is locked with a Marvin lock.

Relieved to be ohnlrant,s Painting.

The oil painting in imitation of one
dollar treasury note, which has been
seized by the secret service officials in
Chicago as q violation of law, is sup
posed TO be the one painted by Artist j..
ID. Chalfant Of this city, who is now
studying in Paris. The picture, it will
be remembered was on exhibition at the
iewelry store of c. +. Rudolph in this
city about three years ago, and created
nuch interest by reason OF its striking
similarity to one dollar treasury note.
Mr.. Rudolph stated this morning that
the painting was sold to u New York
firm who in turn forwarded it 10 some
western city which he thought al
together likely was Chicago.

COMING TO WILMINGTON.
Positive Statement That Eorepaugh,s
Winter Headquarters WIN Soon be
Located in This CITY,

Winter Headquarters WIN Soon be
Located in This City.
An aitachc OF Forepaushs circus is
authority for the statement that the show
will eventually have its winter head
quarters in this city. Should the aggre
CATION not so TO Europe meanwhile, he
says, it will be quartercd hero next
winter.
Tho owners of tue combination have
two sites in yiew--Sehuctzen Park and
the Elliott property, the latter the circus
grounds in the Ninth ward-and will
purchase one of them. The park is the
showman's favorite site, because il is
near four lines Of railway, the Delaware
avenue line and the Front, Fourth and
Eighth street routes, and because, il is
asserted, they have been promised that
if they utilize the park the railway lines
will be extended to the park gates.
Another reason why the park is favored
is because of its nearness to the Balti-
more 81 Ohio railroad, with which con-
nection could be made by a siding. The
selection of the park for winter head
quarters would be of great benefit TO
Wilmington city railway company.
since performances would be given
there almost daily, except when the
show is on the road.
The proposed new winter head
quarters will cover considerable space
and will be as vast as those of the
Barnum circus at Bridgeport, Conn.
They will include an exhibition build
ing, buildings for the animals, chariots,
&c., and shops at which cars and
wagons will be built and repaired.
Locating the headquarters here would
benefit the city in many ways. Hay
for the horses and food for the wild
beasts would be bought here, the cree
ton of the buildings would cost CON
siderable, many men would be given
temporary work and the regular en-
ploycs Of the place would reside here.
The winter headquarters are now near
the centre Of Philadelphia and the chr
and wagon shops at Port Richmond.
The buildings now used are leased for
terms OF two years each. The owners OF
the show are of the opinion that II
would be cheaper in the long run to
own winter headquarters here than TO
rent them in Philadelphia.
