A rournrrr. BASDIT S WORK. MOIWR STEIU.INO, 111., Sept. 25.— This city was the scene of a real and thrilling western style bank hold-up nt 10:80 o'clock Monday morning. Ralph Conlclin, aged 18. was the bold desperado. He is a native of Brown county, his pareuts residing a mile and a half northeast of Mount Sterling. Conklin, who is given to poring over such literature as "The Life of Jesse James," "Peadwood l)ick's Last Shot," etc., loft home with an old-fashioned muzzle-loading dou-ble-barreled shotgun Monday morning' and started lor Mount Sterling. On hia way h« met Mac Dunbar riding a horse. The boy bandit leveled his gun at Dunbar and commanded him to dismount. Uiinbar slid off his horse and Conlcling mounted and rode into Mount Stcrliug.

Seared the Caahier..

Going to tlie rear of the Bloorufleld 8kiles bank Conklin dismounted, and leaving a boy to hold the horse he en* tered the bank by tlie rear door, wearing a mask. Approaching the cashier, J. ft. Minstead, he ordered him to put up his hands. MUstead refused to oomply at first and said? "What are you doing? What's the matter with you?'* "Hold up your hands or Fll show you what's the matter with me, spoke up Conklin. at the same time placing the fctock of his gun to his shoulder.

Cashier Miistead took to his heelfl and left the bank by the rear door. Conklin los»t no time audin a moment gathered up all the money in sight, fcMll. Edward Allison, who was la the bank at the time Conklin entered, ran out upon the street and gave the alarm. After pocketing the money Conkl'n went out of the bank through the] re:ir door and was just mounting hia! horse when A1 Snodgrass, a constable, arrived upc»n the scene. The constable ran up.to Conklin and pulled him off his horse. (.otiklln jerked away from him. however, and ran down the street in the dir'. rtion of tlie courthouse.

Ilamlit Opens Fire.

John Xighswonder tried to catch Conklin. who opened fire on him, shooting through his coat, but inflicting no bodily lnjui*3'. Nighswonder stumbled back blinded with smoke and powder and tlie daring robber kept on running in the direction of the courthouse. By this time he was being followed by a number of citizens, who had heard the alarm given from the bank, and the pursuit was a hot one. Men and teams dashed in tlie direction taken by the robber and guns and pistols were brandished in the air by all classes of citizens. 'V

Reaching- the courthouse Conklin tried to steal a horse and enrt, but was kn oked oil the curt by well-directed 1 riekbat. A few blocks north of the courthouse the masked man was held up at the muzzle of a gun by Jule Co* and compelled to surrender. The mask was torn from ills faoe and It was then found that the Jesse James was none other than Ualph Conklin, whose days and nlg-hts have been spent in reading- dime novels and yellow covered tales of outlaws and bandits. The money taken was all recovered when Conklin was oaptured.

In jail Conklin said that four men came to his house Sunday nig-ht and drawing- their pistols made him promise that ho would rob tlie bauk. lie further stated that if (riven his liberty he would (five the names of the men. The affair created much excitement in Mount Sterling- and the officers are now at work trying to learn if Conklin had any pals to help him plan the ibiiery.

Whatever Mr. Wideuiann's errand is, *.U departure from Honolulu was kept a profound secret until almost the moment of sailing. Within a few days he will go to Washington, where he does not deny he has bueinesB of Importance to transact.

who has just tiuished an examination of the La Plata gold district near Durango for an eastern syndicate, say* the Baker contact, which is about to be worked on a large scale, is a body of gold-bearing ore 700 feetthick and fi,000 feet Ion#, with every indication of extending* downward to a great depth. Mr. Pender says at a low estimate there are in night T,000,000 or 8,000,000 tons* of ore that will averugo at least $5 a ton. It 1H a free milling ore, and the estimated cost of milling and milling \H SI.40 a ton. This contact was discovered la*t fall by 6. H. Baker, a lawyer, and is controlled by a company of which 1). H. Moffat is president. Mr. Baker regards the La Plata region as the greatest mining district of the state. The mineralised territory is 10 miles wide and 20 miles long. Much df the ore, however, is refractory. Mr. Pender leaves at once for New York to submit his report on the district.

That there were at least two ami probably three twisters responsible for the work of destruction and denth Friday niyht seems conclusive upon examination. While several points were struck at about 10 o'olock, Burr Oak, a villag-e near Osage and to the southwest of I.eroy, was visited at 11 o'clock, and it doe* not seem likely one cyclone would make such a complete circle and last from 9:48 to 11 o'olock In a radius of 8 miles. Furthermore, Lerov was struok at 9:45 o'olock and Lresco, la., on the southeast, at almost, if not preolsely the snme moment, so that it is quite olear that these were BO para to uyclones.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25 —Five laborers were buried under a mass of earth almoBt as oompact &8 stone while at work Monday afternoon making* an excavation fur tlie foundation of a rotaining wall just below the Oermautown avenue crossing of the Richmond branch of the Heading- ruilroad. Andrew Ivovats was fatally injured and died a few minutes after his body was recovered. Kuur others were seriouftly injured.

None of the workmen thought there was any danger. Fur a month pust they huve been employed at- the (lorinantown avenue bridge building* a itone wall to prevent, juM. such an H«J cideni as befell them Monday. The laborers had finished their noon luncheon and were a^ain at work when a heavy iee-wagon was driven along tlie cdg*e of the ground In the shadow of which they stood. Nothing una a no a in it is supposed that it was then that the gTound was cracked. A few minutes later, at 1:*25 o'clock, a mass of several tons of earth fell on the live men named as they were bending* over their shovels. Kovates and Kirtz were hidden from sight, but portions of the forms of Fitzgerald. Teskel and Dendine oould be seen as they struggled to extricate themselves.

Thirteen men, all told, wore at work along the wall, and those who had escaped rushed to the assistance of the unfortunates. Kovate was found to be loubled up unconscious, but still breathing. Although Kirtz had been l*iried out of sight the ground fell iu such a way as to give him a breathing space about his bead. Ambulances from th* Germautown and Samaritan hospitals were sent for, but Kovats died before he oould receive medical attendance.
