Dock Temps RaIded.

The most successful rCund-dp Of Wan
dering Willies that the New York police
force ever made was effected Saturday
night. For several weeks people in the
vicinity of the dock yards had been way
laid by skirmishers sent out by the dock
tramps. On the first warm night when
the haunts were sure to be full, Capt Pet
ty, with four detectives and 10 policemen,
made raid upon and nabbed II hoboes
and panhandles. The tramps were at first
mutinous but an application of the night
stick brought them around to the proper
frame of mind. Then they attempted TO
Jolly the magistrates and gave their names,
among others, as "Billy" Bryan, "Billy"
Mckinley, Bourke Cochran, Chauncey NJ.
Depew, ETC., etc. They were fined IS
each and being penniless were sentenced to
work out their fines.

A Bold Robbery.

The stock yards branch of the American
National bank, which is on the second
floor of the Live Stock Exchange at Kan
sas City, was robbed of $4,000 in cash Fri
day. The money was all in bills, and 5000
in silver in the same drawer was left un-
disturbed. Cashier Boswell had secured
the money from the main institution and
when he went out for a few minutes he
placed the cash in a drawer under the
counter, leaving the door to the banking
room open. A commission firm occupies
the room directly opposite, and one of the
commission men sat facing the open door.
He distinctly remembers some one enter
ing the banking room, but he paid no at
tention to him. There were hundreds of
men on the floor below when the robbery
occurred, but the Railways on the second
floor were practically deserted. A jimmy
was used in opening the drawer.

Rich Gold strike.

Hundreds of miners are focking to the
new gold district in Madison county, Mon
tana. The strike is the richest ever made
in the state. The surface ore, of which
several carloads have been shipped, has
yielded from $500 to 500 per ton, and the
returns from II carloads closely ap-
proaches 100000. Another carload of
select rock which is about ready for ship
ment, is expected to net not less than $685.
600. This has all been taken from the
surface cut, and, as the locaters have only
been at work since July l, it remains yet
to be seen whether it comes from a true
vein or is only deposit in the lime forma-
ton. The mine is guarded by men armed
with rifles.

side of the state. The insurance commits
siouer enjoined the company from doing
further business early in 1895, but no eff

Hilton, Hughes IL Co., of New York,
one of the largest dry goods firms in this
country, assigned Wednesday. This is the
concern founded by A. T. Stewart, one of
the most noted of New York millionaires.
After his death it became Z. j. Denning

IL Co. The members of the firm are eX-

Claims were pressing against the concern
and the only way to secure equal justice
for the creditors and preserve the property
from sacrifice was to close the business.

Bicycle COurIers Acre So the Continent.
The most remarkable race in the history
of cycling was inaugurated at noon Tues
day, when the first relay of riders started
on trans-continentaf race, bearing from
Col. Shafter, of the United States army, a
morocco pouch containing the craven
golden plate addressed to the commanding
general of the department of the East, and
letter from Postmaster McCoppin of San
Francisco to Postmaster Dayton of New
York. The pouch also contains parch-
ment prepared for the signatures of the
various governors through whose states
the cohrlers will pass. This undertaking
is under the patronage of the United States
authorities and the couriers enjoy their
protection. The war department is espec-
tally interested in the experiment. The
post-oflice department has instructed its
officers to assist the couriers in every way
possible and carefully note the dis
tances covered and the time occupied.
The route selected is commonly called the
northern route and follows the line of the
railroad through Nevada, Utah. Wyoming,

A Noted Hotel and GsmbIIng-House
Proprietor.

John F. Chamberlin, who died Sunday
night at Saratoga, had wider acquain-
lance with distinguished public men than
almost any other man in the country. He
kept not only hotels but gambling houses,
but always enjoyed the friendship of many
of the most eminent men in many profess
sions. He spent his money entertaining
lavishly and elegantly. He began his ca
reer as a publican by securing the saloon
privileges on Mississippi steamboats, which
were then in the days of their glory real
floating palaces. Here he accumulated the
means to set up business in st, Louis,
where he made fortune, Then returning
to New York he opened club house where
gambling was the chief attraction, and here
he won both riches and popularity. But
losses on the race track compelled him to
sell and he removed to Washington. His
'pull' was shown by his securing the pass
ing of an act by Congress permitting him
to build hotel on the government reserva-
ton at Fort Monroe, which was opened last
spring, at a cost of 81, 100000.
