Death Of George W. shanL,,u.

Mr.. Geo. w. Shanklin an ACCOMPLISHED
journalist. and brother-in-law of Mr.. Jus-
tice Harlan. died at the Harlan residence
on l4th street, Saturday afternoon OF heart
disease, after a protracted Illness Mr.
Sharklin's home was at Evansville where
for nearly quarter of q century ne had
been associated with his brother John G.
Shanklin, in the editorshiD of the Courier
the leading democratic newspaper of south
err Indiana. He spent the winters of lSS2-s
in Washington as the correspondent of the
cincinnati News. and, although that ven
ture failed. his contributions to il We're ex-
ceptionally brilliant. and gave him a wider
reputation than he had before achieved.
His preference, however. well as his
best gift, was for editorial work and re-
turning home, after his short residence
here, he resumed his labors on the Courier,
and they were marked until the day ne
laid down his pen by a force and felicity
unexcelled. and but seldom equaled In the
history OF the Indiana press. His style
as a writer was smooth and direct, grace
full, but without needless ornament and the
range of his political information was very
wide.
In his social relations Mr.. Shanklin was
most enjoyable. His education had been
carefully directed. and his general reading
had carried him far into the fields of spec
ulation. His convictions were strong. and
he upheld them with vigor but he loved
his friends. and some Of those the most
closely sharing his confiderce and affection
differed radically with him about many
things. He was fond of a song and a good
story, and the fine strain OF Irish blood In
his veins made him an excellent judge OF
both articles.
In person Mr.. Shanklin was tall and
splendidly proportioned. So striking a fig
ure of a man, indeed that his friends are
no less surprised than gTieved that one
with every appearance OF having been
formed for a long life should have been cut
off at the comparatively early age of fifty
four. Mr. Shanklin never married. The

No. 121 North Washington ST.,


Alexandria, Va, February s, lS0
Hold up your hands! Your money or
your lifev' was the gruff remark that stop
ped Mr.. George w. Tyler in wild western
style as he was driving to his home in the
county yesterday morning-at least, so says
Mr.. Tyler. Tyler, who drives the city gar
bage cart, reported to the police that he
had been relieved of SIS and number of
packages by three unknown colored men,
who held him up near 'Smoot's barn." on
Mount Vernon avenue. Tyler claims that
as he approached the barn the three men
rushed out and demanded his money. He
at first refused; but was finally persuaded
to do SO at the point of a revolver, and
they Immediately made tracks-not before
he had gotten a good look at them, how
ever. Policemen Atkinson and Lyles were
assigned to the case. They started to
Washington in search of the men. When
they reached the Columbia road they over
took three colored men who answered TO
the description given by Tyler and arrest
ed them. When Tyler saw them he failed
the lookout for the men. Tyler had been
paid off Saturday night and he was re-
lieved of the balance Of his money and all
Of his possessions
These "hold-ups'' are frequently reported
to the police, but as a general thing the
report is not made until the guilty party
has had ample time to escape. The city
and neighborhoood has been infested with
tramps during the recent cold snap and it
is thought that the robberies have been
committed by them.

around a table on which a large lamp was

overturned the lamp, and the oil COM

smothered the flames with his overcoat,
