Desporadoes on the B. & o.

PITTsBURG, March Sat Finleyville,
25 miles south of this city, on the Baltl>
more and Ohio Railroad, a gang of four
highwaymen assaulted j. j. McMillen, a
shifting conductor After they had
bound and gagged him he was carried
some distance away and tied to a post.
The desperadoes then relieved him OF
his watch and money, and, after threat
ening to kill him if he tried to make a
noise, they left him. They then went
to the telegraph tower, and at the point
of revolvers forced Albert Mcneil, the
operator. to surrender He was taken
downstairs and bound and gagged, after
which he was also relieved of his valua-
bles.
The robbers next turned their atten-
ton to the safe in the office. 1t was
locked, but they placed a charge OF
powder in the keyhole and blew it open
The explosion wrecked the Office. The
report attracted the attention of trains
men in the vicinity, and the desperadoes
were frightened off before they could Sc.
| cure the contents of the safe, which were
scattered over the room. Mcneil ano
McMilen were released from their un
comfortable positions and were not
much the worse for the experience.
The entire detective force of the Balti
more and Ohio road were at once sent
out in pursuit of the perpetrators Of the
outrage, but up to noon they had moi
been captured. 1t is thought they were
members of the gang that has terrorizec
the residents of the Beaver Valley fol
several months past. 70

The People Want It.

The people of the United States, broad
and large, gave a generous welcome to
the Reciprocity scheme from the mo-
ment that it appeared in Congress, and
no measure of the present administra
ton has received more hearty public
support than this Influences ephemer-
ally potential in the Republican party
were arrayed against it, but all this dis
appeared when expressions in its favor
came pouring in during the summer and
early fall of 1890 from boards OF trade
and commerce, from district and State
conventions, and indeed from all the
places where the people gathered to-
gether to discuss and commend the
Reciprocity plan.
Attempts were made in certain quar-
tiers to show that the Reciprocity plan
was opposed to and interfersd with the
great doctrine of Protection to American
labor to which the Republican party is
fully committed; but all this disappeared
when it was seen by the people that
/ what was comprehended in the scheme
was an increased trade with countries
that produce articles which we can not
produce, which articles we can purchase
with the products of our farms and
mines and manufactures, which our
southern sister nations need and which
Uhey can not produce. ReclpfOClty vi
this kind is in fact an aid to Protection
and broadens the field of the American
! laborer by opening new markets for his
products to be paid for in articles which
can never compete with his labor. The
people all understand this, and they
made their voice heard and their wishes
known here and in the Chamber at the
other end Of the Capitol, and, except in
the Democratic party, open opposition
was downed and no further hostile note
was heard National Bulletin.

Our National Statue of Liberty :.

The bronze statue of Liberty which
has crowned the dome of the Capitol
building at Washington for the past
twenty nine years is 10 feet inches high
and weighs 1895 pounds. The figure
was cast in five sections. the heaviest
being of 4,74O pounds weight. The
statute was all completed, except the
headpiece, prior to December 2, 1868,
the finishing being reserved for that day.
Crawford, who designed the figure, sub
mitted his model adorned with " liber-
ty cap,'' but Jefferson Davis, then secre-
tary of war, objected to such head
covering, saying that the old Phrygian
emblem was relic of a degraded people.
The secretary's objections were sustain
ed and the we'll known Indian head
dress was substituted for the cap. Craw-
ford got $4,000 for the plaster model Of
Liberty; Clark Mills got $4,000 for cast
ing her in bronze money expended fol

$23, 796. S2. st. Louis Republic.

Bankers Indicted.


'to'tHuOH F1HulCaUOf.
A large number of Augusta county
people are interested, as depositors in
the Waynesboro Bank and the Iron
Cross bank at-Basic City, in the prosecu
tlon which has been undertaken in
Fauquier county of the proprietors OF
the broken bank at Warrenton. The
Grand Jury, of Fauquier, on the Ssd
ultimo, brought in one Indictment
against A. r. Rosenberger, S. p Shirley,
IL. III. Spindle, G. F. Myers and G. W.
kosenberger charging them with the
embezzlement of $12. 1850; a second in
dictment against the same parties
charges them with defrauding certain
deposito's by representing the Warren
ton bank 10 oe a safe place OF deposit;
third lnlicrment is against y. w.
Rosenberger individually and charges
him with making d false entry with the
intent to enable A. II. Rosenberger, S.
z. Shirley and H. FL. Spindle to obtain
money the $12, 750) to which they were
not entitled, and two more indictments
against G. w. Rosenberger individually
charging him with false entry and mis-
representation.
All the parties were arraigned before
the court, Judge Spilman presiding, the
defense being represented by eX Attor>
Icy OCAGId1 L ltItA dllo GPRd 1IuntOA3
.lF. while the prosecution was repre-
senbed by Commemorative Attorney,
Jelfries and Jas. V. Brooke, Sr. In ar>
guing the demurrer to the Indictment,
the counsel for the defense admitted
that all five Of the parties charged wree
members of the firm of Rosenberger,
Spindle & Co., bankers, at Warrenton
up to the closing of the bank on the 10Th
of December, 1891 This is in conflict
with the claim made by Rosenberger &
Shirley in their assignment recorded in
the Augusta county court December 22d,
1891, in which they disclaiIn any respon-
siblity for the debts of the Warrenton
and GordonsviIle banks.
After three days spent in arguing the
demurrer, the court decided against the
counsel for the defense. The defendants
counsel then asked for change of venue
on the ground that the feeling in War
renton was SO hostile that Justice could
not be done by jury brought within it's
influence. The prosecution urged that
a change of We lire should be resorted to
before change of venue could be asked.
The court decided that a change of
venue was proper and ordered that the
case be removed to Loudoun county
court. The defendants then gave bail
to appear at the next term of the Lou
doun county court for trial, G. r. Myers
in the sum of $500, and the other four
in the sum of $4,000 each.
