Captured Burglars Escape.

On Friday night of last week, a
gun shop, bakery and saloon were
burglarized at Milan. Three valu.
able guns, several gallons of whiskey,
100 cigars and numerous small arti-
cles from the bakers shop, were mis-
sed, also a barrel of whiskey, con-
tanning twenty gallons, was emptled
upon the floor. The next morning,
a. thorough search was instituted,
but no clue could be found. A de-
scription of suspicious characters,
who were in Milan on the day of the
robbery, was sent over the Illinois
Central road. Friday morning Con-
stable Barham's attention was called
to three strange men, who passed
through Toone, one of whom offer
ed a gun for sale. Mounting a
horse, the constable came quickly
to Bolivar, and secured the assist
ance of Marshal Warren. Together
they went in search of the supposed
burglars, and about one mile from
town, captured two of the trio, the
third with a gun, escaping. The
supposed thieves "a negro and white
many we're brought to Bolivar and
placed in the lookup. Six dollars
in money and several pairs of dice
were found upon their persons.
The officers, having landed two of
tLeir game, went in search of the
third member of the gang. About
twilight they returned, but not
with the man with the gun. Mar
shall Warren, soon after his arrival,
went down to the lookup to carry
supper to the two "birds" he had
already captured. There never was
a more surprised man on earth than
the faithful and efficient Marshal
when he found that no one was pres
ent to partake of his repast. The
prisoners confined had made their
escape, by means of unscrewing GER
tain nuts or taps, which were in
tended to hold and secure the him
ges upon the door. The hinges re-
moved, of course the door was east
ly opened.
The whereabouts of the Milan
burglars is now a mystery. In the
mean time, Marshal Warren has had
the lookup repaired.

Patchen Beaten by Robert j., Who
Smashes a Worlds Record.
Chicago, Aug 24.-Joe Patchen, 2:06,
has at last tasted the bitter dregs of de-
feat. At the match race at Washington
Park to-day, the great PAGER was beaten
by Robert j., 2:0414, his hated rival, in
straight heats; but the latter was forced
to hang up a worlds record to snatch the
victory from the Missouri horse. The
three heats PAGES are the fastest ever
made by a PAGER in race -
2:O5, 2:O616 and 2:O614, the average being
2:06, and in that fact may the Patchen
people find some little consolation. But
the gelding won so easily in the last two
heats as to encourage the belief that had
he been forced out by Geers he might
have made a still more wonderful per
formance. The match was for purse of
$1,000, and was by long oddss the event of

A Struggle Between Baron Erlanger
and American interests.

and American interests.
New York, Aug. 24.-It is said that the
action of the London stockholders of the
Alabama Great Southern railway in re-
moving from the board of directors
Thomas GreenouGh and Brice is simply
an incident in the struggle between Baron
Erlanger and the American holders of
the per cent Cincinnati extension
bonds. The real issue at stake is the
demand of the American holders that the
stock controlling the Alabama Great
Southern, now deposited with the Cen
tral Trust Company, shall be sold This
was brought before the United States
court at Knoxville two weeks ago, and the
court stated unequiyocally that the bond
holders were entitled to the foreclosure
and it would give a hearing at earliest
convenience 10 determine the particulars
relating to the question. Whoever buys
the stock from the Central Trust Com
pany will control the Alabama Great
Southern, and it is said on good author
ity that the interests allied with the
Richmond Terminal reorganization are
prepared to make the purchase.

A DENIAL IN TOTO.
Rumor as to the Nebraska Military
Department Gets a Quietus.

. Washington, Aug. A.-Both Secretary
Lamont and General Vincent deny in toto
the report sent from Omaha that the de-
partment of the Platte, located in that
city, aud the oficer9 were to be removed
to Savannah.
Gen. Vincent said ~ do not know how
the story was circulated. 1 have received
telegrams from the posts mentioned
making inquiry into the truth of the
rumorn
Secretary lamont said "There is no
such thing contemplated as the abolition
OF the department of the Platte. | do not
know how the rumor started. There is
no change contemplated that could even
be distorted into such a story"
If this change had been made it would
have put to an end the hopes entertained
that a department would be established
in Atlanta. Gen. VINCENT said that moth
ing had been done in regard to the estab-
lishment of the department in Atlanta,
and the matter was in statu quo.
