six or seven robbers wrecked the
Werssler & Ashbrooke bank at Alex
andria, in Licking county, about 1 a.

forts, and they overlooked a package
of $500 in the outer vault, which
they blew almost to pieces.
Tools were stolen from the Toledo
& Ohio Central, with which the front
door of the bank was opened, after
which four charges of dynamite were
exploded to open the vauld. The noise
aroused Cashier c. B. Buxton and 9th.
ers, who reside near, and they has
tened TO the scene. Although the cit.
liens surrounded the building, the
robbers remained in the bank for an
hour, making repeated attempts to
force the strong box, meanwhile
keeping up an exchange of shots with
the villagers. Finally the bandits fled
in two rigs, which had been previous.
ly stolen. Sheriff Anderson and c
posse are in pursuit.
There was only $4,000 in the strong
box, the package of $500 having been
received too late to be placed therein
last evening. The loss is covered by
insurance.

Mayor Harrison Tired of His Job.
Chicago Tribune.)

To be mayor of a city which
has an insufficient revenue is an
empty honor, according to Mayor
Harrison. He admits he is "tired
of his job"-tired of trying to
make ends meet, weary Of going
to the municipal cupboard and
finding it bare. Some man,
some day, the Mayor believes,
will come along and get the job
when there is money with which
to do things, and Mr.. Harrison
thinks this man should be the
happiest man on earth. The
Mayor has been looking for such
a day for two terms, and has
started out on a third term to
watch for it.

MishtsEmisrate.

An exchange aptly remarks
There is no reasonable excuse for
any man to live in a town if he
doesn't like it. If you have no
word of commendationl to say of
your town, emigrate. nYou won't
stop the town clock Shy going
away. The church bell'will have
the same musical ring, the dogs
will play just as briskly, fish in
the river will bite ass,well, and
the pure air, bright sunshine and
sparkling water willllhave'. the
same health-giving properties.
If you have been thoroughly sour
and disgruntled and a loss to
yourself, go down to the river,
tie rope around your neck with
a great big rock on the other end
and get off the earth; the little
birds will warble as your body
shoots through space: "There
goes nothing, going nowhere /;
would there were others going
enroute to the same place."

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 1.-THE Sec
ond strike day closed with the Anal
gamated officials in satisfied mood
and claiming to have made good every
promise as to results. On the other
tand, the manufacturers will not say
1 word concerning the strike and re-
fuse to be quoted in any way. Re
peated efforts TO secure statements
from President Corey, of the Ameri-
can Sheet Steel Co., and General Man
ager /. w. jerks, of the Hoop COM
pany, have been met with the re-
sponsc that there was no change and
nothing to be given out.
No Talk of Mediation.
The Amalgamated people say that
nothing has been said TO them of any
plan for mediation or arbitration, and
that they will continue to carry out
their programme as originally an
nounced.
The closing down of the Clark mill
and of the Monessen sheet mill are
looked upon as telling victories, MAX
ing an almost complete tie-up of the
three companies in the district. But
one tin mill, that at Monessen, and
one sheet mill, at Duncanyille, remain
at work. The fact that the National
Tube mill men tnon-union) received a
substantial advance in wages, Mon
day, has caused discomfort among the

An Important Telegram.
The following telegram was re-
ceived Tuesday night:
wells, July 1.-THE Wellsville roll
ing mill will be run, and il will run
non-union. 1t will start tomorrow. If
it can not be rur non-union it never
will be run at ALL
This statement was made by Perci-
fer II. Smith, Of Pittsburgh, district
manager for the American Sheet
Steel Co. He was here and made an
address to the striking mill men. He
told them they had no grievance;
that they had been well cared for in
the past and would be in the future.
The announcement that the mill will
be started non-union has given rise to
no little speculation and uneasiness
among the citizens. Many of the
strikers, expecting prolonged idleness,
have left the city for hunting and
fishing camps. No new men have been
brought in, and how Manager Smith
expects to start is matter for con-
lecture.
Developments AnxiOusIy Awaited.
The foregoing is the first indica.
ton as yet given by the manufactur.
ers that they were other than passive
participants in the big strike. What
the result may be of an attempt to
operate the Wellsville plant none of
the local Amalgamated people will
predict. All they will say is: st can
not be accomplished"
Wellsville is looked upon by both
sides as an important point, and de-
velopments are anXiously awaited by
all.
