Iigenees representative Saturday for an
expression In regard to the advantages

'I believe the refundIng plan will be
beneficial all around--to the taxpayer
as well as the workIngmen and the
city.
''The object OF the committee having
charge Of the matter was to create
loan that would consolidate several
loans at less rate of interest. The
next point was to relieve the taxpayers
OF any extra assessment that might be

THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY.

THE GREAT TRAIN Robbery
1t is but a few years ago when north
ern Texas. oklahoma and the Indian
Territory were the rendezvous of hun
dreds of criminals who had sought ref
uge there from officers of the law.
There were organized bands Of cattle
thieves and train robbers who made
frequent raids in adjacent states and
with their plumber quickly disappeared
again aud we're almost as safe from
pursuit as though In the pathIess wIids
of Africa. Murder was common. Kill
ings we're so frequent that they attract
ed but little attention. Often disap-
pointed "boomers," with a prediction
for crime swelIed the ranks of the out
laws, Vigorous action on the part of
the United States government and law
abiding citizens have done much TO
abate this nuisance Organized out
lawry Is practically broken up, crimes
are fewer and the country Is now COM
paratively safe. 1t Is this section that

West Point. While on q journey tt
Boston in 1855 he met this young
lady at the house of her brother-in
law, Colonel Beverly Robinson, who
lived in the same locality. After 8
few weeks acquaintance he proposed
to her. and was frankly informed that
she was engaged to marry another.
The successful suitor was Captain
Roger Morris, a companion in arms,
who, like Washington, was sn aid to
General Braddock in the fatal Irdian
campaign.
Miss Phillipse was two years older
than Washington, having been born
at Yonkers, July 8, 1870. Her hus-
band fought on the British side during
the Revolution, and her family were
all royalists. In ITS Mrs. Morris
and her sister, Mrs. Robinson, were
accused of acting as spies for the
British, were arrested and imprisoned,
and their property was confscated.
It was in the Phillipse house that
Benedict Arnold was residing when he
betrayed his country, and from their
grounds he took the boat which car
ried him into the British lines when
his treachery was discovered. Nine.
Jumel, the French woman who married
Aaron Burr, afterward purchased the
estate and lived upon it.
Two years after Washington was
Tilted by Miss Phillipse, and when he
had just returned from Fort du
Quesne, he went to Williamsburg N
military dress attended by an orderly.
While crossing WiIliams's Ferry over
the Pamunky River, branch Of the
York, he was accosted by venerable
gentleman named Chamberlain, who
had learned his identity, and invited

muscle In his body, in his efforts to sup
press 1t, and he was still laughing, when
the door opened, and Colonel Graham,
looking very pale and stately, walked in.
and said:
Il knocked, but you could not have
heard me-"
Heard you, Colonel? No, faith; I
have been laughing at as grim joke as
I ever played, replied Fox, pressing
the moisture of hiarity from his eyes.
Lam glad you enjoy it,"
"Oh. l do enjoy it immensely. But
am over it now. Sit down, Colonel, and
let us have a chat" said Fox, suddenly
becoming sober, If not stern.
There is no time for sitting, and less
for chatting"
Why not, Colonel?"
You have heard the rumors, and you
know them to be true?'
of course; and let me say, the ru-
mors delight me-.
Il fail to understand you," said the
Colonel, showing anger.
Faith, as I don t understand myself,
after eight t-and-thirty years Of ac-
quaintance, can hardly expect you,
who have only known me since my sew
enteenth year, to understand me. But
what do you say to going on board the
Wanderer? We can talk with more
privacy there"
Il am agreed. When do you start?"
AT once. Frenauld has the boat
ready. shall nave but little time to
give to hospitality, Tor I see before me
much work, which, to be done well,
must be done at once."
They left the inn, Don carrying the
leather bag. and Othello walking beside
him with the double valise.
On the way to the beach q man who,
having seen Captain Fox on his previ-
Gus visit, fancied that he knew him,
called out:
Been to New York, Captain Fox?"
Yes, SIR" replied the Captain, still
keeping on.
Heard anything about the pirate
Captain kidd?" asked the man, 30 much
encouraged by the reply that he fell in
behind the little procession.
"Oh, great deal. Every one in New
York is talking about Captain Kidd"
said Fox. with captivating graciousness.

Wanderer suddenly became objects OF
en- intenser interest than they had yet
attracted, for the people saw in them
the heroes who must soon be brought
face to face with Captain Kidd and de-
stroy him, or be destroyed. There was
enough doubt about the former con-
tingent to keep up the excitement-in-
deed, to add to it.
In the midst Of this hubbub three men
mounted on horses and followed by two
servants, one a white lad and the other
negro youth, came into the town.
One was Captain Fox, looking as
fresh and smiling as if he had been off
on most enjoyable picnic; by his side
rode Uncas, chief Of the Montauks, and
elightly to the rear was Colonel Gra-
ham, looking very pale, and Othello,
looking, If possible, blacker than ever.
This party dismounted before the inn
door and sent their horses to the stable.
Their appearance would ordinarily
have caused some excitement, but
they now entered the house nearly un-
noticed, excepting that some Of the
people whispered together about Uncas
and his warriors bearing hand in the
general defense, in the event Of Capt
kidd's making landing.
AS soon as Frenauld could do 80
without attracting attention, he drew
Capt. Fox to one side and whispered
nervously:
1T is known in New York that we are
In these waters.
Who told you so?" said Fox, show
Ing no sign of alarm.
Frenauld gave synopsis OF Sam
Tallmadge's report, and closed with
reference to the murdered post-rider.
Great was his surprise to hear Fox say:
Good! By all the powers OF sea
and sky, things could not have hap
pened better. Their very efforts to de-
feat me will but further my schemes.
Why, man, would have given this
sailor o thousand pounds for what he
has done for US for nothing. Now, I
shall to work, and when the cruisers
come after Capt. Kidd they will find he
has two Of their provincial ships under
his command. The Sea Hawk is ours
