RUSSIAN POLE ROBBED
ON A B. Z 0. TRAIN.
THREE MEN BOARDED THE CAR AT
ATHENS, OHIO, AND TOOK
HIS MONEY.
TOO QUICK FOR INTERFERENCE
THE VICTIM HAD SAVED 800 AND
WAS GOING TO BRING WIFE
AND FAMILY.

Special to the Register.
ATHENS, O., October 15.-To-nighi
about eight o'clock one of the boldest
robberies on record was committed on
Baltimore & Ohio passenger train No. 4,
just after it left this city on it's way
east.
At Corning a Russian Pole, named
John Kopte, got on board, en- route for
New York, where he intended to sail
for Bremen for the purpose of bringing
his wife and family to this country.
He had escaped from the terrors of
the Russian officials two years ago,
and having only money enough to pay
passage for to this country, came
alone, leaving his wife and family in
Germany till he could carr enough to
bring them here.
At Corning he got work in the mines,
but not being an experienced miner
he made but little wages. After a years
work he had accumulated $100, and
with that he last night started for Bre-
men.
Evidently someone knew that he had
the money and had planned to get it.
When the train started out from this
station three men boarded the smoker,
where Kopte was riding, second class.
Instantly n of them seized Kopte
about the neck and threw his hand
over his mouth, sc he could not scream.
The other two tore open his coat, ana
not finding the money in his coat pock-
cts, ripped off his vest, then tore his
shirt bosom in two and got the money,
which was in a bag tied about his
neck.
The instant the robbers boarded the
car attention was drawn to them by
their rapid movements, but they fin
ished their work and leaped from the
train before it had hardly gotten under
full Roadway. Several passengers tried
to detain them when they discovered
their plan, but they all escaped into
the darkness.
Kopte is ~inconsolable over his loss,
for it meant a great deal to him, and
he will have to go back to Corning
and work for perhaps another year be-
fore he can bring his family.
Kopte did not leave the train until
Marietta was reached.

another EXAMPLE Of
OFFICIAL NEGLIGENCE.
GOVERNOR ATKINSON FAILED TO
ISSUE AN ELECTION PRO-
CLAMATION
FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.
DESPERATE ATTEMPTS MADE TO
COVER UP A DANGEROUS
OVERSIGHT.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, October Is.
Whether it was a deliberate plan OF
the Republicans to deprive Mr.. Bryan
of the six electoral votes of West Vir-
ginia, or whether it was mere negli-
gence of his duty required under the
law, 1t is a fact that Governor Atkin-
son has failed to issue his proclama-
ton for the election of Presidential
electors as required by law, sixty days
prior to the election.
The law requires that the Governor
shall give notice sixty days prior to a
Presidential election of the holding Of
the election and the number Of electors
to be chosen. This Governor Atkinson
failed to do, but about the first of Oc-
tober he caused his proclamation to be
issued and printed in a number Of
papers, dating the proclamation back
to the 4th of September, which was
more than sixty days prior to the cleo
ton.
On his recent visit to Charleston it
is said that Senator Elkins discovered
the Governors negligence and was
very much alarmed over the situation,
protesting to believe that the electoral
vote of the State might be lost, in the
event of the Mckinley electors being
elected in the State. The Senator was
so worked up over the case that an eff
fort was made to have the official rec
ords show that the proclamation was
made earlier than it really was. The
matter Of getting it inserted in the Ex-
ecutive Journal was considered and it
was suggested that all the entries after
the 4th of September might be erased
with acids and the proclamation in
serted in the proper place. That was
considered impossible to do without de-
lection and the plan of getting a new
book and copying the whole book over
SO that the proclamation might come
in the right place was considered. SO
far, it is understood that the Execu-
tive Journal does not show that the
proclamation was issued at the proper
time, and indeed it was not, and the
Republicans are alarmed over the re-
suit of the Governors negligence.
1t looks as though it may have been
a scheme to deprive Bryan of the vote
of this State, If it were cast for him.
and that Senator Elkins saw that it
would work Doth ways, and had the
proclamation issued and dated back IN
the hope that it would not be noticed.
This is only another example of Of
fetal negligence by the Republican Of
ficials of the State, who are giving the
time for which they are paid by the
people of the State to campaigning for
the Republican party and are neglect
ing the public business.
