ROBBERY AS A FINE Aer.

Robbery as fine art seems to have
had another illustration at Lima, Ohio,
in which $4,000 were taken from a
bank without evidence OF violeuc9 such
as breaking doors by sledges or wedges
or dynamite. Detectives as yet do not
SEEM to have found clue or come to q
conclusion. The safe doors were all
right, bat standing open in the morn
ing, as though they had been 80 left the
evening before. or course the protes.
sional detectives are studying the case.
No doubt more than one person had a
hand In the performance, and as like as
not the directing angel let others do the
work and take the risks attending the
immediate danger.
The Lima case is an individual isolat-
ed affair. The favorite mode these days
for robbing as dne art in this country
is through trusts aud combines in some
shape. BY these arrangements prices
are advanced, and cost Of production
curtailed, one or both. In all such i'm
stances work people are thrown out, as
rule, by some establishment being
shut down. All this scheming is in tie
interest Of gam, and humanity is not
considered. When did covetousness
feel or care for others2 sordld selfish
ness and grasping sreed rule, and others
woes are Of little or no account, so far
as op portunity Is concerned.i d, -

1885. On July IL, 1886, the secretary
Of the treasury, under Jackson, issued a
circular ordering government agents to
receive only gold and silver in payment
of land sales. This is known as the
specie circular" In May, 1887, a
general suspension Of specie payments
took place., producing business disaster
all over the country. Bank paper
money had been for some years freely
issued regardless Of consequences and
President Jackson determined to pro.
tect the )vernment II possible against
loss, and also protect the people from
the land grabbers.
After this, and previous experience
with bank paper money, the Democrats
resolved to establish the independent
or sub-treasury, and the Congress which
met in December, 1889, enacted such &
law, President Van Buren, signing the
bill July A, 1910. The government there
ter had its own repositories at New
York, Boston, Charleston and st. Louis
and at Philadelphia and the branch
mint at New Orleans. The wings get

the government neither received mo-

clerk as to where a marriage license
could be obtained. He was Informed
that the court house was convenient but
that the Office at which he must apply
was closed for the day. The young man
was naturally some what disconnected.
His intended bride lived at Middlebranch
and he was due to leave Canton on the
o. 9. g. s. railroad but an hour herce.
He stated his case openly and enlisted
the aid Of the genial clerk In his behalf.
The telephone was brought into use and

WANTS A TRlkLr
Mary Malunsy Claims Nonsuli Was
Enormously Granted.
Sued for $4,000 for Injuries Sustained
Through Defect IN Street.

Whether Judge Dubois was justified
or not in granting a non suit in the case
of Mary Maloney vs.. Samuel p. Cook.
citv treasurer of Woonsocket, was the
question that was argued at the hear
ing of the case before the appellate
court today.
The plaintiff was injured by a defect
in a highway in Woonsocset, known as
Church street, and brought suit TO re-
cover $4,000. When the plaintiff had put
her case before the jury a non suit was
Granted by Judge Dubois on the ground
that the claim presented to the city
council of Woonsocket did not state
uvitb detail enough the place where the

WENT To MEET THEM AT BARGE OFFICE

New York, Oct. 3O.-It was crushing
news that David Kreisel, of 144 Eldridge
street, heard yesterday at the Barge
office. Kreisel came to this country only
short time ago from Podolosh, Rus
STA, leaving his wife and four children
behind. He engaged in business here
and prospered. He soon found himself
able 10 send his wife money enough to
pay the passage of the entire family to
New York
Kreisel expected TO meet them all
yesterday on the arrival Of the Holland
American liner Rotterdam. Only the
three elder children arrived on the ship.
The story OF the tragedy that ended the
lives of mother and babe almost broke
the fathers h-art.
1t was told by other peasants from
Podolosh who travted with the three
surviving children.
Under the iron laws Of the cars en-
pire no one can leave the country with
out a passport. To obtain a passport
the traveller must secure certificates of
good character from the police, from
the mayor and other officials. All this
requires as much as twenty rubles.
Mrs. Kreisel could NOT afford TO pay
that much money. so, following the
custom of great many peasants who
emigrate from Russia, she dealt with
an agent who smuggles people out OF
that country. She paid the smuggler
OF human packages ten rubles, saving
ten.
1t was on a dark night when the
agent rushed his company OF peasants
through the frontier guard and across
the boundary.
All were safely over the danger line
except Mrs Kreisel who was carrying
her infant in her arms.
A rifle cracked suddenly A sleepy sem
tinel had been aroused. He had dis
charged his piece at random. Mrs. Krei-
sci fell dead. When her friends went
back TO pick her up they found the babe
dead also. The same bullet had pierced
the hearts OF both. The woman's COM
