STARR GANG RUN DOWN.
Three of the Train Robbers Captured in
Indian Territory.

TAHLEoUAH, l. T., July 22.-Bud
Smith, Charles Plotner and "Shorty"
Wills, pals of the notorious Henry
Starr, were captured at point
near Cherokee City late last night.
After the bank robbery at Bentonville,
Ark, the parties travelled together until
they crossed the state line, when they
separated. The three named arraved
themselves as day laborers and secured
employment within few miles of Cher
okee City, on the Nation side. A few
days ago l.. Harper, young man of this
city, met Smith, and learning his iden
tity, proceeded to get him drunk.
While in this condition Smith was in
duced to give up the whereabouts of
his two pals. A deputy marshal
was Immediately notified, and
he, securing achievements, soon
had the bandits in jail About
$500 in greenbacks was found on
the three men. 1t is thought the arrest
of these men will finally lead to the
capture of the remainder Of the notori-
Gus Starr gang, whose leader is now in
Jail III Arkansas. Large rewards were
out for the arrest of the bandits.

CHEAP EXCURSIONS TO THE FAIR.

First Two of the Trunk Line Associa-
toms Trains Leave New York.
New York, July 24.-The first two Of
the Trunk Line Associations cheap ex-
cursion trains left this city for Chicago
to-day. They were not crowded, but
the officials of the road said they were
quite agreeably surprised at the
number of passengers who ayailed
themselves OF the reduced rates. It
was arranged by the passenger agents,
committee of the association that two
trains should leave on each of three
days of every week, beginning to-day
and that hereafter all the roads should
continue the series in pairs. When this
action was taken there were many
doubts among railway men, both of the
expediency and practicability of this
plan.
1t was long deferred in the hope that
the Chicago passenger traffic would i'm
prove and make the reduction unneces-
sary. But while ordinary passenger
orally good on most of the roads,
the Chicago traffic has not in
creased in any proportion with
the expectations Of the railroad officials.
Thus trains, which began journey for
about 345 people to-day, started an ex-
pertinent in which railroad men are TAX
ing no small interest.
AS the people gathered on the plat
form the officials showed their pleas
ure at the class who made the in
itial experiment. It was feared
that immigrants would take advant-
tage of the low rates and I'M
usual privileges. But none applied on
the Erie road and the Baltimore
O. Ohio trainmen have orders not
to let them aboard and tickets will not
knowingly be sold to them. The pur-
pose, of course, of these trains is to call
out new business and every effort is
to be made not to cut into this class Of
traffic on any other trains, first or emf
gxant class.
The Erie train had nine cars, eight
passenger cars and baggage car. Ex-
actly 2l5 people were aboard, but many
more aye to join it before it
gets to Chicago. Of the 215
people about $50 were women.
The men aboard seemed to be clerks.
All seemed to realize that they were of
party and made acquaintances as soon
as possible. An excursion agent was in
charge. His passengers, he said, were
IN small groups or family parties and not
in large parties. There were no lunch
baskets, although they were not pro-
hibited.
Stops are to be made at Port Jervis,
Hornellsville and Marion Junction and
a big dinner is to be had at Huntington,
Ind. The stops will be from twenty to
twenty-five minutes according to the
importance of the meal.

BANKERS MORE HOPEFUL.
The Financial Situation Believed to BE
Assuming Favorable Phase.

Assuming Favorable Phase.
New YORK, July pa tour of the
banks and principal brokers' Offices in
Wall Street yesterday showed that the
bankers are waiting and watching
the financial developments all over
the country Special attention is being
paid to St. Louis, Cincinnati and New
England. The Western National Bank
shipped $4,000 to Chicago, and
it is said that the Fourth
National sent about $l00,0 to st. Louis,
Cincinnati and Chicago; the Chemical
Bank almost as large an amount
to Western points, and there
are runners. unconfirmed at the
shipments. The inflow of currency to
several banks thus far to-day aggregat-
ed about $4,000. A number of
banks are charging from to l
per cent. on check collections
on Philadelphia banks, owing to
the slowness in renting on the part of
the latter. Notice has been given of a
proposed retirement Of $l5 200 certifi-
cate next week. Leading and conser-
yative bank presidents are inclined
to regard the situation generally
speaking as little better than it was a
week ago. A leading banker of Fall
River, who was in the street this morn
ing, said that while the mills in his
town were turning out far less
goods than they were six months
ago, he did not believe MANY
of them would shut down. One of the
largest New York banks has been hand
ling nearly all the bills of lading, drafts,
etc, on cotton for Fall River, and
the vice-president of this bank
said to day that judging from this source
there has been a great falling off of pur-
chases in the last month or two in this
respect. The sub-treasury has paid
out $500, 900 in small bills in exchange
for large notes to-day.
At the Continental Bank it is stated
that the Commercial Bank of Milwau-
kee has small balance to it's credit.

OUTLOOK IS BRIGHTER.
Financial PROSPECTS Greatly Improved in the
Eyes of Treasury Officials.

Eyes Of Treasury Officials.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July "a. - AS
viewed at the Treasury Department the
week begins with brighter financial
prospects. A number of the recently
failed banks are taking the nee.
essay steps to resume and Comp
troller Eckels is lending them all
the aid possible. He was notified this
morning that the failed First National
Bank of kendalIviile, Ind, and the
failed Northern National Bank of
Big Rapids, Mich, would prob
ably resume this week. The
First National Bank of Santa
Anna, Cal, which resumed business on
Saturday after short suspensions, re-
ceived in deposits $1,000 while the
Withdrawals amount to only 5000.
This is regarded here as an evidence
that confidence is being practically re-
stored on the Pacific Coast.
DENVER, Col, July 24.-Bank Examin-
er Lazar in an interview states that he
is convinced that all of the six suspend
ed national banks in this city have
more than sufficient assets and
Will resume in time. at is
very hard matter at this
time to realize on securities and the de-
positors will have to be a little patient.
There will be meeting this evening of
representatives Of the banks and de-
positors with view to arrange plans
whereby the depositors will accept
certificates of deposits of the amounts
to which the banks are indebted
to them, these certificates to bear in
terest from their date until paid at a
reasonable rate. These certificates can
be used as collateral by the holders
and on them money can be
raised. l would suggest that the
certificates be made to run
for four, eight and twelve months, as
was done in the suspended California
banks that resumed. This will give the
banks time to realize on their assets and
prevent them from going into an en-
forced liquidation

Natural Sanitary Agents.

There is no more effective sanitary agent
than fire. The ancient who made his nap
kin of asbestus had but to throw it into the
fire when sOiled, and it could not be made
cleaner. And could we but build our
houses of incombustible materials the
spring cleaning might be efficiently accom-
plished by incendiarism. London indeed
was purified from plague by a general
confiagration. And almost the one thing
which that nearly indestructible disease
germ, the bacillus, cannot stand is heat.
But if heat is n great purifier cold is no
less a preserver from decay. Amid the
eternal SHOWS of the arctic regions the I'M
buried carcass may lie fresh and uncor-
rupt for months. The flesh of the mann
moth, buried in the frozen soil of Siberia,
has resisted decay for untold centuries,
and here perhaps we have one of natures
hints to inventors" for meat is now largely
preserved by freezing.
Electricity is also sanitary agent. When
Professor Tyndall was experimenting with
atmospheric dust in his classical researches
on the origin of the lowest forms of life,
he found that an electric discharge passed
through a dusty atmosphere purified it by
causing the minute PARTICLES to settle. And
long before thea researches 1t was COM
monty said and believed that thunder
storm purified the air. Thus scientific
foundation is found for the popular belief,
and the lightning flash takes its place as
an accredited sanitary agency.-Chambers'

His Honor Convinced.

It has not been so very long since the old
English court rules passed out of observ-
ance, and when they were in vogue no
where were they observed more strictly
than in South Carolina. A rule provided
that lawyer when he spoke in court must
wear black gown and coat, and that the
sheriff must wear a cooked hat and sword.
On one occasion lawyer named Pettigrue
arose to speak in n case on trial.
Mr.. Pettigrue," said the judge, you
have on n light coat. You cannot speak,
sir"
"Oh, your honor" Pettigrue replied,
may it please the court, L conform to the

speak, sir"
But, your honor" insisted the lawyer,
''you misinterpret. Allow me to illustrate
The law says that the barrister must wear
black gown and coat, does it not?"
YES" replied the judge.
''And does your honor hold that it means
that both gown and coat must be black?"
Certainly, Mr.. Pettigrue; certainly, sir, !"
answered his honor.
''And the law further says" continued
Mr.. Pettigrue, that the sheriff must wear
a cooked hat and sword, does it not2"
''Yes, yes, Mr.. Pettigrue," the court an
swered somewhat impatiently.
''And do you mean TO say, your honor"
questioned Pettigrue, THAT the sword must
be cooked as well rs the hat?"
"Eh?-er-h'm," unused his honor. You
