The firemen Of Caribou, Me-, were
called upon to perform feat rather out
Of the usual line Of duty. The bridge
across the Aroostook river connecting
the two sections Of the village burned,
and although the adjacent buildings in
the main village were saved those on
the opposite side Of the river, near the
end Of the bridge. took fire and were
threatened with destruction. All of the
fire apparatus was in the main village,
the bridge was destroyed and there
were no boats at hand. Accordingly
the best swimmers in the fire company
were selected to swim the river with
line Of hose. They accomplished the
feat and got across just in time to pre-
vent the destruction Of $4,000 worth Of
property, Philadelphia Ledger

held by one individual since the time Of
Newton, are now. after the lapse Of up

A Missouri man left his wife and went
to Australia forty-one years ago, where
1t was reported he died. A few days
ago, however, he unexpectedly returned
home with large fortune. There was
joyous meeting between husband and
wife so long separated, but once more
happily reunited. Strange TO say, his
wife had lived single all these many
years with the dim hope Of once more
seeing her husband. They are both quite
aged now, being upward of seventy

A curious phenomenon occurred in
6imla recently on two successive nights.
This was nothing less than dust storm
in the midst of downpour Of rain, or
rather, to speak more correctly, a shower
OF mud. "A column Of dust seems to
have been carried up into the higher at
mosphere from the plains and to have
been caught and forced down by the
heavy rain. In the morning, as a result,
all the plants and flowers in Simla were
found TO have received thick coating
Of mud. There could be no doubt that
the mud had been rained down, for it
was freely sprinkled on plants away
from the hillside and at great height
from the ground. Moreover a deposit
Of mud was found in the rain gauges in
various parts Of the station. 1t is a
common thing to see the atmosphere in
the hills during the hot season thick with
dust from the plains, carried aloft 10y q

rain and dust Is an accident Of which,

EXPENSIVE ECONOMY.

Some people begrudge the little money
that an ALLoocK's Porous PLASTER costs,
and then when they are racked with pain
from lame back, or from the soreness
arising from cold, they will spend any
amount Of money to relieve the pain. If
they only had one of these world renowned
plasters on hand, they would be saved a
vast amount of suffering and be consider
ably richer. AT the first sign Of stiffness
of the joints apply one of these plasters
without any delay. The soreness will be
greatly relieved at once and soon disappear
entirely. II will be money saved to have
them on hand, to say nothing of the COM
fort they bring.

WASHINGTON, June 2-Having decid-
ed by a vote of $50 to l16 that it had a
hereto on its hands in the person OF
DIR. Charles A. Briggs, the first thing
for the Presbyterian general assembly
to do when it met yesterday was to con-
slider what should be done with him.
Accordingly committee was appointed
to bring a verdict, and its members
were requested to get to work at once.
After long session the committee
brought in this recommendation: ''Sus-
pension from the ministry" and the as
sembly adopted the report.
During the session of the committee
a motion was made by DIR. Stewart to
adopt resolution admOnishing DIR.
Briggs for his delivery of the inaugural.
and requesting him to refrain from
further spread of his teachings, against
which the church has spoken. 1t was
suggested. however, by another mem
Der, that possibly admonition would be
of no avail. and it was decided that
subcommittee should wait on DR..
Briggs and ascertain what position he
would take in the case. AS had been eX
pected from his speeches. they found
that DR.. Briggs was not disposed tc
take back or modify anything which
he had said. Upon making this report tc
the full committee it was decided that
the only thing to do was to suspend him
from the further practice OF the offices
of Presbyterian minister. and this
was agreed to by an unanimous vote.
DIR, Briggs is suspended indefinitely and
can only be reinstated on his recanta.

writings to which objection has been
made. 1t is unlikely that he will ever

THE GOLD RESERVE.

1t Has Been Reduced to the Lowest Point
Reached for Years.
WASHINGTON. June Sat no time
since specie payments were resumed, on
January 1, 1879, has the net gold in the
treasury of the United States been as
low as it is to-day. The amount is $780,
939.217.
While no uneasiness is felt at the
treasury department because of the
continued loss of gold from the treas
ury. still Secretary Carlisle is not un
mindful of the fact that a limit may be
reached where the confidence reposed
in the treasury by the people may be
shaken. How to replete the treasury
with gold has been a problem seri-
ously considered by the administration
for some time, The issue of bonds is
the usual remedy suggested. but it is
known that the president is not in favor
of this alternative except as the last re-
source, and even if they are issued
treasury officials are not by any means
confident that the treasury gold replet-
ed in this way will long continue.
1t is contended that to obtain gold in
this way. with the presen3 laws in
force, simply means the government
borrowing gold at interest for the pur-
chase of silver. with no assurance that
gold SO obtained will remain in the
treasury longer than the time neces-
Sarv to take it out.

The Body Of Jefferson Davis Given a Final
Resting Place at Richmond.
RICHMOND, Va, June 1.-The Jeffer-
son Davis funeral train arrived here
yesterday morning and was saluted
by artillery, the firing continuing until
the body rested in the capitol. From
the depot the casket was escorted by
the R. E. Lee camp of the First Vir-
ginia regiment, the march up the hill
and through the capitol grounds in the
early morning hour being most impress
sive.
AS was expected would be the case,
flowers were strewn along the route in
front of the catafalque and the sight
indeed was pretty one. Women and
little children performed large part
of this feature of the parade. The bells
of the town were tolled while the pro
cession was in progress.
The display of veterans was un'
doubtedly much greater than at the
unwilling of the Lee monument, and
never since the war have so many con
federate soldiers been seen in one body
in Richmond.
Many distinguished men were in the
procession, and after the ceremonies OF
laying the body in the tomb at Holly
wood cemetery, the column moved to
Gettysburg hill and decorated the
graves of the confederate dead.

MILWAUKEE, June 1.-The P!ankinton
bank closed its doors yesterday morn
ing when the following notice was
tackled to the front door of the institu-
ton:
Owing to the failure Of our efforts to reorgan-
ize the bank and to the continual withdrawal Of
deposits we have thought it best for the inter.
est of all depositors and stockholders to close
the bank. PLANkINToN BANK
The suspension is largely due to the
failure of F. A. Lappen & Co. and the
Lappen Furniture Co. two weeks ago.
with liabilities that will proba bly,
amount to $3.50. 900 when the worst is
known The Lappen firms. so far as
claims have been recorded, owe the
Plankinton bank between 5000, 900 and
$3.50. 900 and this sum is due on Lappen's
personal notes, which are considered
practically valueless. The Lappen in
ventory shows that the estimated value
of the latter's stock is s2Os, SsS, but it
will not bring a sum anywhere ap-
preaching this figure, and ahead of the
Plankinton bank claims are others
amounting to over 100000. The out
look for the Plankinton is therefore
not favorable.

son. the bold bandit who all alone held
Up Missouri Pacific train near Pacific
while Gov. Stone, State Treasurer
Stephens and scores of other persons
we're on board. was given up by his
:ather here last night and is now in ISL
aere.
The prisoner confessed his crime
.ully. He said that he bought his re-
solvers, two cheap pistols, for $3.50
zach, and his dynamite in st. Louis and
planned and executed the robbery
alone. He boarded the Missouri Pacific
train at Pacific and proceeded to do the
work with neatness and dispatch &C
cording to the published accounts.
When taken into custody, Wilson
surrendered about $500 of the stolen
money.
For several days it had been known
that Wilson was the robber. and ex.
Sheriff Goodell and Railroad Agent
Sheehan have been shadowing him.
His father, who is regarded as re-
spectacle citizen, was in their conf
dence and had promised to assist them
in getting possession of the criminal,
but Yesterday evening the father viola
ted the agreement entered into with
the two and turned the prodigal son
over to Sheriff Jones. Rumor says that
Jones and the father are to share the
5000 reward.
Sam Wilson was raised in. this coun-
ty, is about % years old and is tele-
graph operator. He formerly worked
for the Frisco road and was agent at
Richland, Pulaski county. In 1892 he
planned train robbery near that place,
but his confederate gave the scheme
away and he was arrested and bound
over to court, his father going bail to
keep him out of Jail.
The daring and boldness displayed In
the Missouri Pacific robbery, one man
holding up and robbing whole train,
marks him as desperate of the worst
type.
Wilson will be taken to st. Louis.
He will plead guilty when arraigned
and ask for clemency.
