Carbines for Cavalry.

A proposition to convert the new Springfield rife into a carbine for the use of the counted service is being considered by the ordnance officers of the army. The plan is to shorten the barrel of the rife four inches, and by so doing to reduce it's weight by two pounds, thus making it much easier to handle by the mounted troops. The sights also are to be adjusted to meet the shortening of the barrel.
 The decrease in the muzzle veloc. ity, it is claimed, will not be so great as to interfere with it's effectiveness up to a range of 1,500 yards. The ordnance department had been asked to make a report on the proposition, and the cavalry board will take it up and include it in it's report on the re- organization of the cavalry and on the new equipment

 Fulton.--A party of bandits, believed to have been the same that robbed the First State Bank of Dardanelie earlier in the week, attempted to blow the safe of the Bank of Fulton. while 9 large number of citizens looked on, nowerless to interfere.
 The robbers used the same tactics employed al Dardanelle and there was apparently the same number of men Hi the party
 The bandits entered Fulton about 1:30 o'clock in the morning. While four of them stood guard, two entered the bank. News soon spread and with in short time a posse of citizens, led by Marshal Thomas J. Logan, adyanc ed upon the yeggmen. The robbers had taken the precaution to shoot out the arc light in front of the bank and could be seen but dimly. Every at tempt to approach them was answered by warning shot and to further as- sure their protection, one of the rob bers seized Henry Wilson, a young n:an of Fulton, who had advanced too near. After knocking him down with revolver, they assisted him to his feet and used him as a shield against the bullets of the citizens. When a shot was fired, Wilson was forced to call to his friends not to shoot, as they might kill him.
 Marshal Thomas J Logan managed to creep within a short distance of one of the bandits, but was discovered and shot in the shoulder with load of buckshot
 It is said that the yeggs secured only about $75 in pennies and about $20 in gold which had been left on the counter. Only the outer vault was blown.
 The store of William Temple also was entered and eight shotguns and a supply of ammunition stolen.
