A SENSATIONAL ROBBERY.
Thieves Walk on with EGO, 900 From a
London Bank

AAAosos "aiA OH with k6O,OOO from q
London Bank.
London, Jan. ga robbery of more
than 100000 from the Paris bank in this
CITY last Monday, which has been the SEN
sation of the week. took a dramatic turn
to-day when the chairman of the bank
announced at a meeting of the share
holders that $4,000 in the biggest notes
had been returned to the bank by post.
The robbery apparently was most dar-
ing crime. The thief is supposed to have
walked boldly behind the counter when
more than 100 clerks were at work, opened
a drawer from which he took a parcel of
notes and walked out of the bank unde-
tected. American thieves are suspected
of having been concerned in the theft and
II is said several Americans were recently
noticed lettering about the premises.
The police are again utterly helpless.
Six G1000 notes and % $500 notes figured
in the robbery Most of these have now
been returned and the remainder of the
notes are practically non-negotiable. The
chairman of the bank also announced that
the Bank of England had promised not
to pay these amounts, the f47000, Of
which $4,000 had been returned. The re-
mainder of the money was in notes of
smaller amounts which could easily be
passed and might, therefore, be consid-
cred lost. The shareholders greeted this
unexpected announcement with enthus-
asm especially as it was accompanied by
declaration of a dividend of 10 per
cent,

Indianapolis. Jan. 26.-The fight of the
women in behalf of the proposed consti-

frage has been begun in earnest in the
legislature. About 60 petitions from all
parts of the state have been presented
the aggregate said to represent nearly
1900 persons. The great majority of the
signers are women, but each petition
makes a fair showing for the opposite
sex. The agents of the womens organi-

Apop1exy.

Apoplexy.
Washington, Jan. 26.-Former Attor-
ney General Augustus H. Garland was
stricken with apoplexy while address,
ing the United States supreme court at
2:l5 O'Clock this afternoon, and died
within 10 minutes. Mr. Garland spoke
calmly and with no evidences of agita-
ton or effort. He had read from a
law volume and had followed with the
sentence: This, your honors, is our
contention
AS the last word was uttered, Mr..
Garland tottered and fell heavily to the
floor. Senator Gallinger, who is a ply
slclan, was near at hand. A single
glance told him that the attack would
be fatal. Within 10 minutes from the
time of the stroke, Mr.. Garland breath
ed his last. The court in the mean
time, had postponed the case in which
Mr. Garland was interested and had
proceeded with other business. Word
of the tragedy was soon noised through
the capitol and senators and repre-
sentatiVes hurried to the court ROOM
The two Arkansas senators, Messrs
Berry and Jones' were among the first
to view the body, and following them
was long line of persons high in leg
islative and legal circles, who had been
associated with Mr.. Garland at various
times in his long and notable public
service.

congress that met in Montgomery in
May, 1861. He was chosen a del
egate to the first confederate congress
and afterward served in the senate, in
which he held seat when the confed-
eracy fell. In 1865 he petitioned the
United States supreme court for the
right to practice without taking the
"ironclad" oath, presenting an ar.yu-
ment on which the question was decid-
ed in his favor.
He was elected United States sena-
tor for the term beginning March 4,
1867, but was not permitted to take his
seat. In 1874, after serving short

SENT TO STATE PRISON
Severe and Deserved Sentence
for John McGill.
ELASSAULT ON WOMEN
Eight Years in the Psnitentiary the r D..
suit of HIS Brutality-Hls Rsla-
tions Will Now Have
Little Peace.

Judge Clancy sent another man to
the state prison yesterday, and the sem
tence imposed was also severe The un-
fortunate was John McGill, whose brr-
tai impulses led him into vicious and
cruel assault upon three women The
women were Kate Miller, Bridget Nc
Gill and Mary Downey, his sister-in-
law, his wife and his mother-in-law
respectively. The assault was made on
Sept. g. 1899. On that day McGill took
a railroad coupling pin and beat the
three women with it, infiicting severe
wounds and bruises upon them. Three
charges of assault in the first degree
We're made against him. Yesterday
morning he was brought into court and
withdrew his plea of not guilty as to
the charges in two informations and
entered plea of guilty instead. The
third charge, the one accusing him of
beating his wife. was dismissed. Prob
ably he did not beat his wife very
hard or the beating of a wife does not
count. He was represented on one of
the informations that was permitted to
stand by Attorney Forestel! and on the
other by Lawyer Gaffney.
Stand up, William McGill. Now sir,
it has become my duty to sentence you.
Have you any lawful reason why SEN
tence should not be passed upon you?'
said the court after the prelimnaries
We're settled.
The prisoner had no reason to Of
fer.
The court then sentenced him to four
years in the state prison on each
charge, making an aggregate term Of
eight years. The maximum penalty for
assault in the second degree is five
years. The prisoner took his medicine
without much show of feeling.
McGill is the man who tried to escape
from Constable Lewis while the latter
was taking him to Jail. He took to his
heels when near the court house and
the constable opened fire upon him.
He disregarded the first shot, but was
halted by those that followed. Chances
are McGilrs relatives will now enjoy
peace and quietude for a while.
