The Northampton
Bank Robbery
Copyright, 1905, by c. W. Dillingham; Coz

II r NDIsTURBED by the failure of
the plot TO rob the Second Ma
tjoual Bank of Elmira, n. Y,
Scott and Dunlap proceeded to
scour the country again in search
OF another bank suited TO their opera
lions. and in February, 1874, notified the
gang. which now contained some new
members. that they had found some
thing TO go to work at" in Quincy, Ill.
The attack on the Quincy bank was
made in very much the same way as the
attack on the bank at Elmira. The Bal
timore woman again rented house which
afforded shelter and concealment to the
men; access was obtained to rooms over
the vault by false keys as before; the
flooring was taken UP and put down every
night without exciting suspicion; the
masonry was removed, the iron plates of
the vault were penetrated, and, finally, one
night Scott and Dunlap were able TO lower
themselves through jagged hole into the
money room beneath.
J., now remained 10 force open the safes
inside the vault; and to accomplish this
1he robbers used, for the first time in the
history of safe wreck!ng in America, what
is known as the air pump method, when
had been devised by Evans, and carefully
explained by him to Scott and Dunlap
Evans employers were at this time intro
dUcing a padding designed to make safes
more secure, and Evans had hit upon the
tdea of introducing powder into the seams
or a safe door by an air pump, in the pres
encc Of possible customer, in order to
Impress him with his need of the new pad
ding Evans himself was not present at
the breaking open of the Quincy bank and
he had nothing TO do with the robbery be-
yond furnishing instruction and the air
pump Scott and Dunlap did the work
As first step. all the seams of the safes
formed by the doors We're carefully puttied
up, save two small holes. one at the top
and one at the bottom. Then, at the upper
! hole. Scott held a funnel filed with fine
powder while Dunlap applied the air pump
at the hole below. BY the draft thus
created, the powder was drawn into ali
the intcrstices between the heavy doors
and the frames of the safes. Then little
pistol loaded simply with powder was at
tached near the upper hole, and by string
lied 10 the trigger, discharged from a safe
distance above. There were several at
tempts made before complete explosion was
efected but finally the safes were blown
open and their contents secured the rob-
bers making their escape with $4,000 in
money and about 100000 in bonds No
part OF this money was ever recovered by
the bank. nor were any OF the gang cap
tured at this time. The securities were,
however afterward sold back to the bank
Indeed, so cleverly mad the whole affair

CHINA HAS MANY PARTIES
AT Least Seven Prominent Political
Organizations in the Country

FROM Public Opinion.
Doubtless the majority of people consider
that there is only one dominating oninton
IN China-that is hatred of the foreigner
And yet 1t seems from recent fuvesti,a-
uon made by the Japanese paper Shirnkoron
that China is not lacking in variety of
views. The Shimkoron notes no less than
seven different parties all of which have
large membership. First, there are the
extreme conservatives represented by the
feklh court and the majority of the off,
Gals To live from day 10 day; to move
with every wind. be it toward Russia or
toward England; not to touch the worm
eaten state edifice except for the most nee
essary repairs; to make no plans with ref
erence to the future and to move with the
tide of events; these are the dominant
traits The next party is the one in favor
of Carbohydrates alliance This party
in nowise desires to overthrow the imperial
government, but wishes resolutely to take
up the question of reforms. The japanese.
brothers OF the Chinese IN race and tradi-
tons, are clearly the ones TO bring both
the educational and military reforms to a
successful issue.
The next party is the republican party,
winch dreams of remodeling China into a
republic similar to the United States The
program OF this party is: China for the Chi
nese, away with the foreigners. away with
the Manchus. The constitutional party rep
resents peaceful evolution. This party does
not wish revolution which would disturb
the country and furnish foreigners with a
pretext to get foothold in China; ii de-
slres to keep at the head of the empire the
Manchu dynasty, but IL also demands that
delegates, elected by the people, Shall have
voice in the affairs of the empire
Another party, the party of the great
man." thinks that only some great man can
save China from her present predcament
and they are daily expecting the appearance
of this delivery.
This idea, 1t appears, has a much larger
following than might suppose. The
dismem berment party, which is the most
remarkable of all, demands that in tho
same way the city of Shanghai was divided
between the French ana English China it
self should be divided into concessions to
the different nations. Thus Shantung
should be given to Germany, Yuman should
be given France, and so on If this be done,
the partisans Of the movement contend,
the people will live happily and In short
time ali necessary reforms will be granted.
Tho least party Is the educational party.
This camp thinks that before considering
the people must be educated, for
nothing can be done with an ignorant peo-
pie. The Shimkoron observes that the lat-
ter party, like the one in favor of q Chino
Japanese alliance, represents tha lnteiloc-
tual elits of China.

take the witness stand against him and
convict him. but that if he did turn over
the necessary securities they would refuse
10 take the stand This resulted in the
recovery of the Northampton bank of
nearly all the securities stolen from the
bank and its depostors, this not inciud-
ing, however, the government bonds and
currency stolen at the time Some OF
these securities had deprecated in value
upward of $4,000 since they were stolen.
The amount of the securities recovered
represented S700, 0C0; they had been in the
hands Of the thieves upward Of two years
After the securities were returned, Scott
and Dunlap refusing to take the stand
against Leary and Doty, the authorities
were eventually obliged to release them, as
Evans had also refused to take the stand
against them. Conroy. who had simply
been go-between. and not an actual par
tfcipant in the robbery, was released at
the same time by order of the court.
The trial of Scott and Dunlap took place
at Northampton in July, 1871 year and
a half after the robbery. Evans took the
stand against them, his evidence making
the case of the prosecution overwhelming
ly strong. After three hours elaboration
the jury brought in verdict of guilty, and
the prisoners were sentenced to twenty
years in the state prison. Scott died in
ed several years later, removed to a west
ern city, reformed man, and earned an
honest living until his death. AS far as is
known, since leaving the penitentiary he
never returned to his evil ways. Conroy
also took to new ways, became honest and
generally respected by all who knew him
Red" Leary came to his death in GU
rious way. One night in April 1888, he
had been drinking with some friends at
well-known sporting resort in New York.
In the party was BILLY" Train an old
bunko man. They were all somewhat in
toxicated and inclined to be uproarious.
As they came out on the street BILLY
Train picked up brick and threw it up
in the air, yelling: Look out for your
heads, boys" To this warning Leary paid
no attention, and the brick came down
on his head with full force, fracturing his
skull. He was taken to the New York
Hospital and died there, after much suf-
ferng, on April %.
As for the safe expert, Evans, he en-
gagged in legitimate business, and pros
pered. In compiling this chapter from the
records, the writer has, by request, changed
some of the names of the parties, who
since that time have reformed and become
respected members in the communities
where they reside, and the author has no
desire to injure them.

red hot, blows them together. gives them a twist, and there is a pretty al- ley with red and white threads of glass twisted through it in the form of the letter s. Large twisted glass alleys and plain glass alleys with the figure of a dog or cat inside are made for very small children to play with.
 But the marble best loved by boys is the real agate. Oh, how beautiful they are to the collector! No diamond or pearl in after years will ever appear as clear and bright as that treasure of boyhood days. They are seal-brown and black in color, and many of them have large round ''eyes" that are a special mark for beauty. And then the translucent burning ''cloudie"-no gem could surpass it in value to the sensi- ble small boy. >..
 American marbles are not valued much by youthful collectors; they are called ''commies,' and one can buy a handful for a penny. The choice mar bles come high, and at this time of the year you can get almost any kind of work out of a boy by the promise oi some real cloudies or agates, and the pockets of mothers and sisters are kept empty by the constant demand fol small change to buy the popular toy Marble time does not last long. Il comes suddenly. One day the streets swarm with small boys intent on the game; another day will see tops whirl, ing about on the pavement and hart ground, and the marble will disappear Kite season is near, and anon the game of ball will attract the lively boy. Btu just now it is marble time. I hear th' cry of fen keeps!"-''knuckle down back to taw''-and see the excited winners as they swap for cloudies, ant loudly crow over their less fortunat' friends.-E.

IN MARBLE TIME

You can always tell when spring has come for then it is marble time. On bright afternoons you may see groups of boys in excited converse-they sud- denly gather around pot" or ring. and then the fun begins. At first a calm, then startled cries, Come to taW' fen dubs, ''knuekIe down. loud and mysterious words-grave ex- plantations. A sympathetic crowd draws near: one would think the fate of nations at stake. It is the ancient the classic game, played by Greek boys hundreds of years ago, as fresh and de- hghtful as when first invented, Just now the pockets of the small boy bulge out in hard and knobby punches, and their contents are the joy of his heart Alleys and Jaws and fints and chinies and agates, and cloudies-ah, what a delightful list of treasuries!
 Nearly all the agates that rattle a. round and wear holes in the pockets of the small boy are made in Germany. On winter days the poor people of the villages collect small square stones put them in moulds something like large coffee mills, and grind them until they are round. These marbles are called common china, painted china, glazed china, imitation agates, and black and white ballots. They are very cheap. ranging in price according to size from ten to sixty for five cents. Imi- tation agates are made from white stone, and are painted to represent the prize marble of all--the real agate. The painted china marbles are of plain white stone, with lines crossing each other at right angles painted upon them. The ballots are little black and white marbles that look as if they would roll forever if once started.
 Glass alleys are blown by glass; blowers in Germany. The expert workman takes a piece of plain glass and another of red glass, heats them

CARMEN sYLvA,s BUSY YOUTH.

CARMEN SYLVA'S BUSY YOUTH.
 I belong to a generation whose elders thought they could not sufficiently in- stil into us the merits and advantages of the habit of early rising. In my youthful days our lessons began at o'clock, with an hours religious instruc- tion from my mother, followed by prac- tising of the piano till breakfast time at S:3O. From o'clock lessons went on again till midday, and then after a pause of a couple of hours we set to work once more till bedtime. And sometimes, after studying until quite late into the night, we still had to be up the next morning by 4, so as to finish writing some specially difficult composition or preparing some hard passage of Ovid or Horace which we had not sufficiently mastered before we fell asleep. Nor did it once occur to any one to inquire if our brains or our strength were being over taxed by work The word "overpressure" had not been invented in those days. Yes I have been accustomed from my ear- Hest youth to make good use of my < tinne-so much so that directly I was ef1lancipated from the sehoolroom- that is to say, when was in my eigh- teenth year-I at once set about find ing extra occupation to fill up my leis- rre, and this I accomplished partly in giving lessons to other girls little younger than myself. And I managed so well that, while spending several hours d day in teaching, and several others at the piano, I still had several to spend in the society of my beloved father.-Nineteenth Century.
