Local Crooks-People Eduoat-
to Noise of Explosions.
Last Monday morning about .
o'clock people living in the vicinity
of the postofllce were aroused by two
'Nplosious. Upon investigation lat
~ in the morning, it was found that
robbers had entered the postoiice
by force, blown open the safe con.
tanning cash on hand, stamps and
many valuable papers and books,
ana carried away all the stamps
amounting to about $500; aud cash
amounting TO about 5000.
The frst explosion is supposed to
haye been that of bomb TO throw
the people off their guard, is the
general opinion. The force OF the
second explosion was so strong that
the door was wrenched from the safe
and hurled agaisst the wall. The
velocity of the door was checked by
coming in contact with table,
the corner OF which was shattered.
The glass in the rear windows were
broken, aud indentions were made
IN different places in tho wall by
pieces of fire proof clay, which were
thrown from the safe door 10y the ex-
plosion.
Deputy-Sherifr r.. S. Gillespie, who
lives just across the street from the
pos;-ollice, heard the explosion, but
thought it the explosion OF bombs.
For several nights previous large
bombs had been exploded on the
streets, and was thought to be the
work Of boys. (whO were doing it 60
aggrayate extra policeman Caudin,
who is trying to do his duty in main
tanning order on the streets at night
but later developments tend to show
that the exploding OF these bombs
was done either by the safe-blowers
themselves or byIheir Accomplices,
to keep tho public mind ~ff0m- being
alarmed Mt the final explosion The
game" worked well and the ras-
calls went on with their dirty work
unmolested. They gained entrance
to the Office 10y prizing open the front
door and entered the inner door
likewise. The robbers must have
been acquainted i'm tho community
from the fact that the dynamite was
taken from the Tazewell White Lime
Works and the tools from tho black
smith shop at North Tazewell.
ENTER STORE AT NORTH TAzEwELL.
1t is supposed that tho gang who
blew the safe in the postoiiice are the
same ones who entered the Tazewell
Supply Company's large store at this
place. They entered by a rear win
dow and were, no doubt, preparing
20 blow the safe in this store, but
were frustrated by depot agent e. J.
Miles, who passed by the store on
his way home about 1890. Nothing
was taken.
The store of NJ. L. Peery, about a
mile west of the depot was broken
into the Same night, bat nothing was
missing.

he was clothing and caring for the

DR.. Foss, Methodist, Philadelphia, Pa.
Far the most appalling feature Of
the fact that 312,O 900 arrests for drunk

is the knowledge that the 312, 900 rep

Patron Saint of Lawyers.

Who is the patron saint of law
yers? is a question that might per-
tinently be asked on a day when
both bench and bar attend their de-
votions prior to the opening of the
law courts. According to one old
story-not least liked by lawyers,
who always enjoy a joke against
their professional famous Brittany
lawyer once appealed to Rome for
the appointment of a saint The
pope proposed that he should go
round certain church blindfolded,
and lay hold of the saint nearest to
hand. Following this suggestion he
stopped and grasped a certain figure
crying: This be our patron saint"
When the bandage was removed
from his eyes he found that though
he had stopped before the altar of
St. Michael, to his horror he had laid
hold, not of St. Michael, but of the
figure under st. Michaels feet-the
devil! Hence, of course, the nick
name of the Inns of Court Volun-
teers, the Devils Own."-London
Chronicle.
