MANASSAS, Va, September Is. 1885,
Burglars attempted to rob the First Ma
tforal Bark of this place at $50 O'Clock
this morning They bored holes in the
large outside doors and then pried the
bolt of the lock back. AS the door opened
the electric bells began ringing. The alarm
connects with the bed room of MIR. c. l..
Hyrson, one Of the directors of the bank,
and when 1t sounded he quickly dressed
and hurried to the building. He found
every thing quiet, but evidences of the at
tempt at burglary were plain. Mr.. Clap
ham, the teller of the bank, is clearly of
the opinion that 1t would have been i'm
possible FOR the burglars to have gained
entrance to the vault of the bank. The
alarm frightened the burglars away. No
doubt they were 'cracks" attracted here
by the crowds attending the Prince Will
liam County Hcrsemans Association show.

Fusion With the POpulists.
BUFFALO,. N. Y, September 16.-Fusion
of the populistie and democratic parties in
New York state Is the important result Ct
conference between representatives Of
the two parties.
For active support of the ticket to be
named by the democratic state convention
the populists will be given five representa-
tives upon the electoral ticket and two
Congressman. The conference today was
not long one, as the matter had been
fully discussed previously, as reported ex-
clusively by the Associated Press. The
populists claim that they can swing the
electoral vote of this state either way, and
are sure that their union with the demo-
cratic party will result in Bryan and Sew
all carrying New York state by large ma
jority.
Elliot Danforth. who was present at the
conference, says that the agreement, which
the populists claim has been practically
settled, would have to be referred to full
state committee before it becomes effective,
and that body may or may not agree to the
terms demanded by the populists. He said
further that there would be a further con-
ference this afternoon
John c. Sheehan, in speaking of the SUBJ
fect, said that the populists must have mis-
understood the outcome of the conference.
as it was not definitely decided that there
would be fusion in the terms specified.
He however tacitly admitted that fusion
with the populists was quite possible.
