THREE ROBBERS CAPTURED.
Only Two of the Men Remain at Large
 Pinkerton's Opiniou

Only TWO or the Men Remain at Large Pinkerton's Opinion.
 ST. PAUL, MIN, August l9.- Three of the men who participated in the robbery of the $5000 gold bag from the Merchants Bank from the messenger last Monday, are now under arrest. They ex- pect soon to capture the other two. Fleury and Howard are now in St. Paul, the third is in Chicago, where he was captured last evening Wm. Pinkerton reached St. Paul early this morning with Fleury, alias George Harvey, who is supposed to be the principal in the robbery. The third under arrest is John, alias Charles Meigs, on whose person $250 was found. Mr. Pinkerton says he believes the gang are English crooks who stole the 5000 from Messenger Lares, of the Merchants National Bank, and are same men who eight or nine days ago robbed the bank at Marietta, Wis. of $5000. The rob bery was committed in the same manner.

l The Sheriff of Boone County Has a Skir- mish With the Alleged Outlaws.
 WINsLow, ARK, August l9.-- For the last two months there has been a crowd of six men twelve miles east of here, supposed to be robbers, as they were all heavily armed and at times would leave for parts unknown for week or more, leaving no trace behind them. Yes terday D. A. Eof, Sheriff from Boone county, arrived with war rants for the arrest of the men. He collected a pc SC of six men and went to the house of George Terry, where two of tbe men were. George Terry, the owner of the house, and one of the robbers, John Boyd, had started out in field for something when Mir. Burkett, one of the posse, covered them with his Winchester and demanded their surrender Terry threw up his hands, but the robber ran around the house and went in and got his rife and told his partner to run for 1t as they were surrounded. They ran for the woods, and ran nearly into Sheriff Eof and five men whom they supposed were behind them with Burkett. The men then tried another route. In the meantime Boyd had raised his rife with the intention of killing Burkett when he received wound in the right arm aud side and three others which are considered fatal Dr. Page, the attending physician states that he will die. Middleton then surren- dered, seeing there was no avenue of escape, but not until he had re. ceived a flesh wound in the leg. Tbe men are supposed to have made the attempt few weeks ago to rob John Poole at Thompson i; also to have had hand in the Bentonville Rank robbery. The leader and three of his men have escaped.

scamps are coming stealthily on. Two others are just appearing around the next bend beyond.
 "Ready, boysi They're near enough now. Cover the two leaders Drop the first two anyhow !"
 Breathless silence, humping hearts enc instant longer, then the chasm bellows with the loud reports. The four guns are fired almost at once. One half-naked wretch leaps high in the air and falls, face downward, dead as nail Another whirls about, bounds a few yards along the brook side and then goes splashing into a shallow pool, where he lies writhing The two furthest down the canon have slipped back behind the rocky shoul der. The other two, close at hand have rolled behind the closest shel. ter, and thence send harmless bul lets whizzing overhead. Costigap lets drive a wild Irish yell of tri umph and delight.
 "Now, then, run for 1t, boy Well done, you two, if ye are blaekguards," he calls to Moreno and his mate. "They won't dis. turb ye again for ten minutes, any how. Hold your post, though, till we call you back. We're going to block the mouth of the cave" 7"
 Twenty minutes later, and work ing like beavers, Costigan and his two men have lugged rocks, logs, bales of blankets, everything, any

Drummond hesitates. He sees a half pleading look in Walsh's hon est face. The Irishman would willingly tackle the whole tribe in open fight, but what he doesn't like is the idea of being potted like a caged tiger, never knowing whence came the shot that laid him low.
 Then the lieutenant peers about him. Yes, it is exposed to fire from d point in the cliffs to the west, and there are rocks over there to the north that seem to command it; but # abandoned there will be no way of preventing a bold advance on the part of the Apaches up the rugged eastward slope. It would then stand between the defenders and the assailapts, giving to the latter iucalculable advantage. Hold 1t he must for a few minutes at least, until, recalling McGuffy, he can set him and cue or two others to work piling up d rock barricade in front of the cave. Then, if driven out and no longer able to stand the In dians off, they can retire into the caves themselves, hide their precious

MASKED ROBBERS.
Alfred Allen Assaulted and Robbed at
 His Home
IN CLAY COUNTY.
His wife Forced to Disclose the Hiding
 Place of the Money.

PIGGoTT, ARK, August 21.-- [ Special. News has just been re- ceiyed here of an assault and rob bery committed twenty miles south of here last Friday night by band of masked men.
 Robbers have been operating in this (Clay) county for several weeks with much success. Last Friday night six of those robbers, wearing masks, visited the home of Alfred Allen, we'll to-do farmer, a and respected by the entire community.
 One of the robbers remained on the outside to watch the horses while five entered the house, first going into Allen s sleeping apartment. Allen was awakened by the light from the lan- terms carried by the robbers. He was immediately set upon and se- verely beaten with pistols and left in an unconscious condition.
 In the next room the burglars met Aliens wife, who had been awaken by the disturbance. They demanded of her the money which they claimed they knew was in the house. The woman refused at first, but after being tortured she disclosed the hid ing place of the coin, which amounted to several hundred dollars.
 The thieves then left. Mrs. Al len reported the affair to neighbors, who started in pursuit of the rob bers, but whether or not they sue ceeded in capturing them is not known yet.

Toff or Toff,s DsubIe?-That is the Ques-
 ton Which the Examiner is Try,
 ing to Solve.
 RAILWAY, N. J., August 19.- Pension Examiner Charles E. Jenk- ins is trying to solve the problem whether James Toff is dead CT alive. The story is as follows !: A Mir. Jarpes Toff enlisted in the civil war, Sixty Ninth New York regiment, and was afterward with the Sixty-Third New York and Company X, First Connecticut Cavalry. After receiving his dis charge he came to Railway and mar ried Miss Julia Duffy, whom he abandoned in 1873, saying he was going 10 South America to work on railroad. The vessel on which he is supposed to have gone was lost off Cape Matters, and all on board were lost. The woman made appli- cation for a pension about three years ago, and from the min ute description in the pension department discovered James Toff in the soldiers home in Bath, N. Y., whose description as to height, weight, etc., tallies exactly. The Toff in the soldiers home has a part of the thumb of the left hand missing and the little finger of the same hand lost, while the original Toff has the fore-part of his right hand thumb missing and the little finger lost. Pension Ex- aminer Jenkins said to-day it was the most peculiar case he had ever been called upon to solve and he is at loss to know whether it is Toff or Toff's double.

ST. LOUIS FAILURE.
A Large Grocery Firm Embarrassed- Due
 to Bad Collections.

Large Grocery Firm Embarrassed Due
 to Bad Collections.
 ST. LOUIS, August 19.-The Greedy Burnham Grocery Company, whose business some months ago was merged with that of E. c. Scudder & Co.,, into the Scudder- Galt Grocery Company, a consolidation of two old firms, has become em- barrassed.
 Liabilities aggregate about $500, : 900, with assets about the same. The embarrassment is of the old company, the eely-Burnham Gro cery Company, and concerns only that portion of their affairs which is not made part of the consolidated firms, and which has been in process of liquidation since the consolidation of active business interests. The embarrass- ment is ascribed to the prevailing financial situation, which prevented collections, and therefore a ready liquidation of the firms affairs was the result.

 FoRT GIBSON, 1. T., August 19. -SpeciaI. THE DEMOCRAT core, spondent has just returned from the national convention, held twelve miles north of Tahlequah, I. T. Ii was one of the most pleasant occa- siens, where there were so many peo. pie assembled I ever attended. Not drunk man on the grounds, nc whooping, but all seemed to be happy. Fiddling and dancing, and flying jenny riding was the past time of the occasion. No speeches. As one of the leading men said when asked when the speaking would com. mence: We have already done our speaking, which resulted in the glorious victory of the National Party. Every district CD went al- most solid. This party told the people from the stump if they would elect them they would sell the bonds. They therefore assume con. trol at next council with heavy re. responsibilities.

peal of the silver purchase law, he said he would not hold that act as a hostage for free coinage. He said {: "L,et free coinage stand on it's own merits, but this is not the time for the United States to adopt free coin age. The only path which led to the free coinage of silver was an inter national agreement, and the only way to reach that agreement was to repeal the purchasing clause"

 Two o'clock. Kissing flames and scorching heat block the cavern entrance. The rocky barrier grows hotter and hotter 1; the air within denser and more stiHing. The water in the canteens and pails is no longer cool. It is hardly even cooling. The few men who remain with Drummond in the front of the cave are lying full length upon the floor. The pain in Drummond's battered head has be- come intense; it is almost madden ing. Wing is moaning and uncon- scious. Walsh is incoherent and raving. All are panting and well nigh exhausted The front of the cave is like an oven. Overcome by the heat, one or two of the men aie edging toward the inner cave, but Drummond orders them back. To the very last the lives of those fair girls must be protected and cher ished. In silence, almost in des- peration, the men obey and lie down again, face downward, their heads at the rear wall of the cave.
 And then Costigan comes crawl ing to the lieutenants side.
 Have you heard any more logs thrown down lately, sirf"
 "No, corporal. 1 have heard nothing. 7
 "They were yellin' and shoutin' out there in the gulch half an hour ago. Have ye heard no more of 1t, sirfn
 "No; no sound but the flames. !"
 "Glory be to God, thin Dye know what it manes, siri"
 "I know what hope,o is Drum mond's faint answer. "Our fellows are close at hand, for the Indisns are clearing out.
 "Close at hand, is itf' cries Costigan, in wild excitement, leap ing to his feet. Listen, sir. Listen, all of ye'sl Dye hear thatf-and thati And there now Oh Holy Mother of God isn't that nusicY Tnim's the thrumpets of K throopl'
 Ay. Out along the crests of the winding canon the rifles are ringing again. The cheers of troopers, bounding like goats up the rocky sides, are answered by chatter of hoof and snort of excited steeds in the rocky depths below. ''Here we are, lads Dismount Lively now!n well known voice is order ing, and Costigan fairly screams in ecstacy of joy. "Tear away the fire, captain, an then we'll heave over the rocks"
 Stalwart forms, brawny arms, are already at the work. The wagon tongues are prying under the heavy, hissing, sputtering logs. Daring hands scatter the embers. Buckets of water are dashed over the live coals Up wid ye now, boys" shouts Costigan. "Heave over thim rocks !" Down with crash goes the barricade. A cloud of steam rushes into the cave. A dozen sturdy troopers come leaping in, lifting from the ground the helpless and bearing them to the blessed coolness of the outer air, and the last thing Jim Drummond sees, ere he swoons away, is the pale, sense less face of little Ruth close to his at the waters brink; her father, with Fanny clinging about his neck, kneeling by her side, his eyes up lifted in thanks to the God who even through such peril and distress has restored his loved ones, unharmed, unstained, to his rejoicing heart.

 No. down with you, Costigan, !" be answers. "Gat McGuffy and Fritz, block up the front of the cave with rocks, move in those Moreno women, carry Sergeant Wing back b the further cave, Miss Harvey will show you where. Stand fast Ehe rest of you. Don't let an h. iian close in on us. !"
 Look, Lieutenant, ;" whispers " alsh, "they are coming up down beyant you there" ]"
 And, peeping through the mar ow slit left in his parapet, Drum nond can just see bobbing among he ooulders far down toward the willow copse two or three Apache rests-Apache unmistakably, be- ause of the dirty, white, turban- Ike bandages about the matted ooks. At distance they advance Fith comparative security. It is vhen they come closer to the de enders that they will be lost to Jew.
 Obedient to his orders Costigan lips out of his shelter and "takes a neak" for the edge of the cliff. In b instant, from half a dozen oinrs above, below and on both ides, there come the flash and rack of rifles. The dust is kicked p under his nimble feet, but he eaches urharmed the cleft in hich some rude steps have been aeked, aud goes, nalf sliding, half sraping, down into the cooler depths elow.
 "MJrher of Moses l' he groans, but we'll never get the lieut. nant 1t alive. Shure they're all around m now" !"
 Then bounding down the gorge
 finds MeGuffey kneeling at c point.
 fIney're coming, Barney" hispers the boy, all eager and smulous with excitement and |inting down between the vertical |alls. "Look r he says.
 siazing ahead to the next bend, ,stigan can see Moreno and his aukee Compadre crouchine behind eir shelter, their carbines levelied, 6r attitude betokening intense ex- emsnt and suspense. It is egi- Et that the enemy is in view.
 Eg'n have one shot at 'em, bedad, pay for the dozen their brother ckguards let drive at me" nut E Costigan. "Come on, you it's
 a step." And, forgetful for the ment of his orders in his eager s for fight, the Irishman runs Fn the canon, leaps the swirling ok just as he reaches the point, obedient tO the warning hand out by their bandit ally, drops his knees at the bend, MeGuffy Be at his heels. Of go their hats. pse broad brims would catch an ian eye even in that gloom.
 How many are there comingf' whispers.
 Moreno puts his fingers on his then throws out his hand, four Eers extended.
 One apiece then, be jabbers |F, Little Mac, you're to take the Dnd one from the right--their lt, 1 mean-and doan't you miss CT I'll break every bone in your Histl"
 Down they go on their faces, then, |ian like, they crawl a few feet her, where there is little ledge

 another, then from sheer force Indian habit shading their eyes b their brown hands as they peer Ehe front; exchanging noiseless hals creeping like cats from rock rock; leaping without the faintest md of the mocassined feet across
