TO ROB MAIL WAGON.
Three Highwaymen Made Daring Eff
fort in Chicago Street.

CHICAGO, May 17.-Three highwaymen
attempted to rob United States registered
mail wagon early today near the Chicago
and Northwestern railway station. The ac-
cjdental discharge of a revolver frustrat-
ed their plans and they escaped after a
street duel with the police.
1t was this wagon that Marks, van DINE
and NeiGermeyer, the car barn panoits'
planned to rob during their brief career as
desperadoes Their plans miscarried, how
ever. The police believe today's highway
men were inspired to attempt the daring
crime by the story of the men hanged on
April %.
The contents of the wagon were valued
at several thousand dollars.
When the driver of the wagon, E. J. Gran,
was driving past an alley three men ran
out into the street in front or ms team.
Two of them tried to stop the horses ny
grabbing the brides and the third unoer-
took to climb on the seat The one VINO
was making the effort to get on the wagon
flred a shot, which was apparently accloeh-
tal. and the horses jumped Gran pIieo the
whip at the same time, and the team lung
ed ahead Shots were fired after the wagon,
hut the driver would not stop.
TWO nolicemer saw the third man anu
Aired at MIN. The highwayman returned
the shots and ran, making good ms escape
The other men slipped away during the re-
volver fight.

Feuds Of Reformers.

From the Atlantic.
Internal feuds among philanthropists are,
alas, no new story, and few bodies OF re-
formers have escaped this peril. When we
consider the bitter contest fought by
Charles Sumner and his opponents in the
Prison Discipline Society; the conflicts In
the early temperance meetings between to-
tat ahstainers and teetotalers; those in the
woman suffrage movement between Mrs.
woodruff and her opponents, and In the
antf-slayery movement itself between the
voting and nonvoting abolitionists, we must
not censure the warning negro reformer too
severely Nay consider the subdivisions OF
the Garrison abolitionists themselves, after
slavery itself was abolished, at a period
when l myself saw Edmund Quincy walk
half way I'D a stairway, and turn suddenly
round to descend, merely to avoid Wendell
Phillips, who was coming downstairs. Hav-
ing worked side by side together through
storm and through calm, denounced. threat
ened even mobbed side by side, the two
men vet separated in bitterness on the mere
INTERPRETATION of a will bequeathed by a
fellow laborer Francis Jackson. When we
look moreover, beyond the circle of moral
reformers and consider merely the feuds of
science, we see the same thing; DR.. Gould,
the eminent astronomer, locking his own
observatory against his own trustees to
avoid interference; and Agassiz, in the
height of the Darwinian controversy, deny
ing that there was any division on the sub
ject among scientific men, on the ground
that any man who accepted the doctrine of
evolution ceased thereby to be man of
science If questions merely intellectual
thus divide the leaders of thought, how can
we expect points dividing men on the basis
of conscience and moral service to be less
potent in their influence!

oFFENsEs IN THE NAVY.
Fun1shments Proposed With View o
IMPROVING the Service

Lieut.. b. b. Bierer of the navy has pre-
pared Tor the Secretary of the Navy a new
table OF punishments for naval offenses with
view 10 improving the discipline of the
enlisted service. For the offense of over
time from liberty of various periods from
TWO hours and less to forty-eight hours
he proposed loss of pay equal to one day
Tor the minimum offense and to twenty
days for the maximum period absent, the
commanding officer to determine guilt and
award punishment. For the offense of
overtime from forty-eight hours to ten
days, for leaving ship or yard without
authority, for being under the influence of
liquor, for having alcoholic liquor in the
possession and for smuggling liquor he pro-
poses series of punishments-that for the
first onense to be loss of one months paw
for the second offense two months pay and
the third offense three months pay, the
guilt to be determined and punishment
awarded by court of three officers
In support of his plan, Lieut.. Bierer says:
When men are deprived of liberty for
any length of time at a place where their

less and dissatisfied. 1t leads to miscon-
duct-serious sometimes-and, in many
cases, to desertion For the offense of

liquor in possession; and smuggling, or at

pay for each additional offense. stops, as

cerned and 1 feel that the punishment for

think all, or nearly all, who have a
thorough knowledge of the subject will
agree that system with loss OF pay as
the punishment for the offenses above tab
ulated is far superior to any other; just as
a fine is considered the adequate punish
ment for a violation of city ordinances of
a similar nature The loss of pay for an
offense is a question that requires careful
consideration, for there are two objects to
be attained, viz, and adequate enlistment
of desirable men and their retention in the
service until retired, and the maintenance
of discipline. All other objects are com
