OVERPOWERED AND ROBBED.
An Aged Couple of This County Relieved
of IL Large sum.

An Aged Couple of This County Relieved
of IL Large sum.
The report reaches this city of bold
robbery committed last week in the
eastern end of the county in which two
men held up an old couple in their
home and took in the neighborhood of
So, 600 from them at the point of a
revolver,
From what can be learned of the rob-
berry says the Tyler Gazette, of Sisters
vile, it seems that early in the evening
two men came to the home of DR.. and
Mrs. j. D. Cox, who live near Bloom
field, back of New Matamoras, and after
getting something to eat, sat around
and talked awhile.
They had been in the house probably
half an hour, when suddenly one of the
men jumped up and drawing revolver
told the doctor and his wife to keep
still, and warned them, as well as the
hired girl, that a movement to call aid
would cost them their lives
Despite the warning of death made
by the robbers, who demanded all the
money in the house, the doctor made
an effort to fight, but as he is very
aged man, he could not do great deal,
| and was soon overpowered.
The robbers went TIN ough the house
and in a short time found hidden away
about $4,000, good part of which was
in gold, and the rest was in silver and
greenbacks. They took all the money
they could find and tried to make the
old couple tell them if there was any
more in the house, but they would not
tell.
The bandits tied the doctor and his
wife and the hired girl to chairs and
left them bound, and then made their
escape. They came in to Cochransville,
stole sl;if there, and crossed the Ohio
river and the last known of them they
were going toward Sistersville.
The old couple who were robbed are
lifelong residents of that section, and
the money taken was their savings for
number of years They are prostrat-
ed by the loss of the money and the
shock they have sustained
No trace of the fellows who did the
deed has been discovered and there is
every reason to believe that they have
made good their escape.

Spokane REVIEW, august Z.
Among the passengers arriving
from the east on the Northern Pa
cific train, which was delayed and
did not reach Spokane until about
2 O'Clock yesterday morning, was
young lady, apparently a stran-
ger in the city. AS she stepped
from the train IA tall, good looking
young man eagerly pressed his way
to the crowd where she was.
After a warm and affectionate
greeting he conducted her to a
carriage he had in waiting and di-
rected the surprised Jehu to drive
to the residence of Rev. j. Lewis
Smith on the north side. The
driver whipped up his horses and
started for his destination at top
speed. The witnesses of the little
scene at once jumped to the con-
clusion that romantic elopment
was being enacted. The story
soon spread among those on the
| streets and aroused much curiosity.
When the carriage arrived at
the minister's residence the young
couple alighted and entered and a
few moments later Rev. Smith pro-
nounced them man and wife.
Mrs. Smith acted as bridesmaid
while the groom's father served az
best man. None others but the
contracting parties were present.
The groom is Charles Z. Rich
ardson, mining man, who resides
at Newsome, Idaho. The bride
was Miss Fannie q. Crosby, OF
Battle Creek, Mich. Mr.. Richard.
son came to the city Saturday, Sc.
cured the necessary license and
made arrangements with Rev
Smith to have the ceremony per.
formed at the latter's residence
When arrangements were made il
was expected to have the ceremon,
take place about 9o'clock. Tn,
delay necessitated complete
change in program.

CHANGES IN OUR COLLEGES.
Tho Rigidity Of Discipline Has Been Re-
Taxed.

III we look over the period covered by
these memoirs Dives of Presidents lar
nard and McCosh)we can see what
changes have come to pass, says tl,t
Atlantic. Briefly stated they are these.
1t is most remarkable that pecuniary
resources have increased enormously
and this has made possible better
buildings, larger libraries, more teach
ers. Private gifts, land grants and leg
islative appropriations have all con-
tributed to this result. With more lib
eral expenditures, there has been
greater freedom in every detail. The
rigidity of discipline has been relaxed,
manners are not SO stiff, there is far L IS
of petty regulation, the teaching is not
so severe, the methods of living are
much more civilizing. THE curric-
ulum" has gone.
Either absolute election or very
large amount of choice is now permit
ted. With the abandonment of one
fixed course the required amount of
Greek and Latin has been greatly dimin-
ishod and it is demonstrated that class
icai studies have gained more than Ii, y
have lost by this change. History,
English, French and German receive an
amount of attention that was not given
to 1hese subjects 30 years ago. On the
other hand, there is less attention to
public speaking. Of great importance
is the wide introduction of laboratory
! methods in the study of science, espe-
cia!iy in physics, chemistry, physicl
1N,kp lot, ae
have made marvellous advances. il.
/ nally, the admission of women to tht
advantages of higher education, either
by coAducation, or by ''anneyes," or b.
separate foundations, is one of hit
greatest gains of the period under re
| view.
