something in the road with his whip.
Something in the motion fixed my glance

but the driver told how he had climbed
up the rear car instead of riding in the
caboose, as this train would not carry pas
sengers. He described his ride on the
ladder until the steep grade was passed
and then how he had climbed on top and
enjoyed his pipe and the terrific ride from
his elevated seat.

A Friendly oner Of Burglary.
New York Letter in Baltimore Sun.

New York Letter in Baltimore Sun.
John T. Butler, who lives at 280 WesA

had an unusual experience this morning
with a stranger, who offered 70 help him
rob his own house. Mr.. Butler was Out
late last night at his club. He did noe
reach the vicinity of his home until abouk
3 40 o'clock in the morning. He thendis>
covered that he did not have his latch-
key with him. Not wanting TO disturb
his family he took ladder from near
by building and proceeded to climb by 10
into a second-story window. He had been
in his room but a moment when the win
dow was darkened by the figure of another
man. He demanded to know the erran6
of his strange visitor, and husky voice
said

just thought I'd come up and help you
TO do the job It's an easy job TO crack"
Butler tried to convince the maker OF
this friendly offer that he was not burg
lar bent on booty, but the stranger knew
better, and tried to Chamber into the win
dow, whereat Butler tackled him. Thera
was brief struggle and then the would

sons Conviction.
Detective Basch returned yesterday
morning from Millen, where's he appeared
as prosecutor in the case against Henry
Johnson, the negro charged with attempt
ing to wreck a Central railroad train on
Monday night. The reason johnson was
placed under such a small bond, only $500,
the detective says, was that the court be-
lieved that his intention was not to
wreck the train, but merely to secure a
reward by pretending to prevent a wreck
which other parties We're endeavoring to
cause.
Justice Wallis, of Millen, presided at
the trial, and U. 2. Wade, Esq, of Syl-
vania, appeared as attorney for the Cen
trial. The evidence against Johnson,
though largely circumstantial, was con-
elusive. He told many conflicting stories
of how he came to play the part of life
saver by preventing wreck. He was
sharply questioned as to who the parties
were whom he had seen piling crosstieS
on the track and who had ordered him
away from the place on the first
occasion when he waved down the
train, and declared several times that
they were strangers to him. On being
further pressed, however, he stated
that two men named Newton
living near Millen were the parties who
endeavOred to wreck the train. The
Newtons were sent for and came at once.
They had no difficulty in proving their
wherea bouts on the night in question
and were very indignant, as were also
their friends, at the charge brought
against them. If they could have gotten
at Johnson they would have handled him
roughly.
This convinced everyone that Johnson
was lying in his statements about hay
ing seen other parties pile the crossties
on the track and draw the spikes from
the rails. Detective Basch thinks there
is no doubt of Johnson's conviction.

RIDING ON A TREASURE TRAIN.
A Drummer's Experience Travelling
with a Freight Worth $40, 900 900.

From the St. Louis Globe Demobrat
It was back in the 7Os when Denver's
great smelter at Argo was pouring out its
trains of auriferous wealth, that l found
myself, one September morning, standing
on the platform of the little station at
Box Elder, a few miles out of Denver.
Myhve trunks were all checked, and as
the agent tore the excess baggage from
my mileage, my eye caught sight of an
object Swimming lightly over the buffalo
grass at a point far down the track, where
the rails were merged into the simmer
ing lines of mirage-created lake. 1t was
vet an hour till train time. | walked
briskly down the track, and had almost
reached the top of a heavy
grade and the spot where should
have been my phantom lake, when the
rumblng of a heavy freight train APP
preaching from the west caused me TO
look back. 1t had already reached the
foot of the grade and was now toiling
slowly up the ascent. Il stood upon the
embankment of the cut which marked it's
highest point, and as the engine passed
me began counting the cars. All were
closed box cars save the last, a Slated
stock car, and as It slowly passed in re-
view something in the bottom attracted
my attention ! swung easily on to the
with silver ingots. | Immediately began
a mental calculation of the value of the
contents of the car, which | roughly com
puted at 1850 900. Then | remembered
that there were twenty-one cars, repre-
senting over 100000 900.
Absorbed in the contemplation of this,
to me, almost incomprehensible wealth, l
had almost forgotten my position. l was
rudely awakened by a sudden lurch of
~ tho t,sa in and iucfoptlu | tUac alive n
the fact that the train, now descending
the otheriside, was going at terrific rate
of speed Faster and fa~ter it sped,
swaying like a storm tossed ship, Some
times it careened until il seemed to me
it would never right itself, and / began
TO imagine that my weight would be the
incubus that would drag it over. Des-
perately chung to the rungs as / climbed
the ladder. just as my head reached the
level Of the roof l saw glOved hand
grasping the top bar opposite and what
seemed to be the protruding barrel
of Winchester. That is a guard, -
thought | as | ducked down | remem-
bered that Eastern Colorado was infested
with horse thieves and highwaymen, and
that the railroad companies were partic-
ularly alert for train robbers. If found
clinging TO the side of this great treasure
train, what explanation could ] give of
my suspicious conduct ! imagined that
this guard, discovering me, had climbed
down the opposite side to get good look
perhaps a good shot-at me. Between
the prospect of being crushed to death
and shot for highwayman, there was
little choice, and the outlook for coyote
meat seemed bright.
My mental anguish was, for the instant,
relieved by the scream of the locomotive
as we dashed through "a station, only 10

that it was limited special and made no
stops Telegraph poles few past like
pickets on a garden fence. With that

assailants exclaim to the eOther:
Drag him into the lane and
go through his pockets" They
were endeavoring to do this when the po-
liceman ran up. The men were too
drunk to think Of running, and the ap-
pearance of the policeman only appeared
to enrage them. jackson and Stoney
were the two assailants and Golphin was
the party that was being beaten and
robbed. There was another man also en-
gagged in the melee, who escaped.
Jennigan seized hold of Dolphin, who is

NEW YoRK's SAVINGS BANKS.
The ACCESSIBILITY Of Requiring Notice
Still Under Discussion

held to-day at tho Emigrants' Industrial
Savings Bank. The institutions repre-
scented We're: The Emigraut Industrial.

Citizens, East River, Franklin, German,
Harlem, Seamau's, Dry Dock, all OF
New York city, South Brooklyn,
Brooklyn Dime, Albany Savings Bank,
OF Albany; Utica Savings Bank of Utica,
and Williamsburg OF WILLIAMSBURG
These banks represent total deposit Of

After the meeting the following letter
was sent 10 the presidents of all the saw
lngs banks in the state of New York.
New York, July 10. ls03.-Dcar Sir: At a
meatlng held this day at the Emigrunt Indus
flal savings Bank numerOusly attended by
representative officers of savings banks ~
this city and Brooklyn. N was their unan-
lmous opinion that in view OF the recent do
Veioped manifestation of depOsitOrs 10 with
draw their funds, as learned in many
instances to hoard the same, and also in view
OF the exceptional difficulty Of obtaining cur
renCY, as well as the serious loss which must
arise IN the effort TO sell securities at the
present time 10 satisfy the demand the best
interests OF depositors require prompt action
on our part here and throughout the state.
Therefore, be II
fNeSOlNed,S'lhat II is the Judgment OF this
meeting that the time has arrived when. in
the interests of their important trusts, il is
eXpedient that the trustees OF the savings
banks OF New York Brooklyn, and elsewhere
throughout the state should require from
their depositors the notice Of the withdrawal
OF deposits provided In their respective by
laws and in accordance with the agreement
under which all deposits are received
This action is variously received but is
in the main approved. Several bankers
who are trustees of savings banks are OPP
posed to the recommendation and will in
sist that their banks continue to pay de
posits on demand. The principal OBJ
lection urged against it by them is that it
may intensity the lack Of confidence
which causes Withdrawals. Bankers
tayoring the requirement of notice
point out that the savings banks will be
able tOlend their cash through the banks
and relieve the situation to that extent.
The withdrawal of deposits from the city
savings banks were considerably larger
to-day than on any previous Saturday,
but at none of the banks was there any
thing approaching a run. Owing TO the
scarcity of currency, considerable was
paid over savings banks counters.
