EXPRESS KOBBERS IN INDIANA.

Robert A. PinkertoYs Reminiscences of the Operations of the Famous Reno Gansr. St. Lonis Globe-Pemocrat. Just about this time 11SG7 the Reno gane had been orcanized iu Southern Indiana, and outside of the Jaraea gang a more desperate eet of men never existed in this country. Their depredation had proved a perrect terror to the express companies in southern Indiana, and especially in the vicinity of Seymour, where the desper: adoes made their headquarters. They bad committed their train robberies with a spirit of daredeviltry and dash that defied detection. The citizens of southern Indiana became alarmed at the wanton robberies committed by the Reno gang, and steps were taken to annihilate them. Accordingly, the services of Allan Pinkerton were enjracad, and he at once determined to eet one of his most trusted operatives in with the pang. To effect this pnrDose he had his man open a saloon in Seymour, lad., and in the course of a very short time the detective became very intimate with the Renos and their confederates. In the summer of 18G3 an expresa messenger on the Ohio & Mississippi road, en route from St. Louis to Cincinnati, was robbed of a Urge sura of money by two masked men, who had entered his car somewhere along the road in Southern Indiana. Two days afterwards Mr. Pinkerton learned, through his secret operative at Seymour, Ind., that the men who had comitted this robbery were. Mike Collorain and Walter Ilammoud, two of the young members of the Rene party, who had worked on the railroad around Seymour. They were accordingly taken into custody and a large portion of the stolen money recovered. Although it was discovered soon afterwards that Collorain and Hammond were robbed of a considerable amount of the money they hat taken by John Reno and other cf his colleagues, this money was so secreted that it could not be unearthed, but the express company, through Pinkerton men, ascertained that John Reno was badly wanted for a safe burglary in Clinton county, Missouri, where he had robbed the county treasury, and they determined to punish him on this charge. The Missouri authorities were advised as to the whereabouts of John Reno, and he was soon afterward quietly arrested and returned to Mis- , lourl The detectives who arrested him did their work very neatly. Reno was decoyed lown to the train for the ostensible purpose of peeting a friend in Seymour. Just about the ttrae he arrived at the depot the St Louis train suited in on its way west Reno was spotted to the detectives, who had alighted from the train, and at a given signal they swoped down on him and in the course of a few seconds dragged him bodily aboard the train as it was moving from thedepot. He was safely landed in Missouri, aha the"Adam3 Express Company paid for a special guard to watch over him until he was convicted. He was sentenced at last to twenty-five years imprisonment in the ""Missouri penitentiary. Many of the Id residents of St. Louis will recall to mind the persistent efforts on the part of friends of the Renos to effect the pardon of John Reno, and for ten or twelve years all the influence in the world was brought to bear toward this end, but to no purpose; the express company was too much for them. However, after serving fifteen years, Reno succeeded in getting his pardon through Lieutenant-governor Charles P. Johnson, who, at the time it was granted, was actine Governor of the State. Mike Collorain and Walker Hammond were sentenced to five years each in the Indiana prison, both bavins pleaded guilty. Collorain, after coming out of prison, "squared" it, and is now a well to do and respectable citizen of Indiana. When Hammond shook off the sight of the black bars, he joined fortunes with Pete McCartney, the celebrated counterfeiter, and was subsequently arrested with Pete at Richmond, Ind., on a charge of counterfeitin?, and sentenced again to a long term in the Indiana penitentiary. The next robbery of any moment occurred in the summer of 18G3, on the Ohio & Mississippi, near Seymour, Ind., where the train was boarded by masked men. The messenger made a desperate resistance to protect the money safe in hie chare, bat hecwaa picked up bodily by tun-' tU'.wi.ddWTSruro- aeadlone from tne car down a precipitious embankment. The robbers wero paid well for their pains, as nearly $90,000, in money, Donas ana jewelry tell into their ravenous clntches. During all this time Allan Pinkerton had continued his secret operative in the saloon business at Seymour, and his place had become somewhat "of a resort, for the-., tough element of the town. Through this source of information Mr. Pinkerton soon learned that this heavy robbery was perpetrated by the three Reno brothers, riuuh, oim arm uni, assisieu uy unaries Anderson, a noted New York thief, who had been residing temporarily in Canada: Mike Rogers, a dangerous Western crook, and Miles Ogle, the notorious and adroit counterfeiter, who for years led 'the officers in the Secret Service Department such a merry chase. Allan -Pinkerton soon afterwards arrested Sim and Bill Reno in Indianapolis. Frank Reno and the others fled to Canada, but were shortly afterwards apprehended by the Pinkertons, and after a long litigation with the Canadian 'authorities, tbey were delivered up to the Governor of Indiana. Miles Ogle was arrested in Indiana, but the guard that was placed over him proved to be a Wxone. and he succeeded in making his escape, and was not arrested for years afterwards. progress in Canada another robbery was attempted in the vicinity of Seymour, Ind., by other members of the Reno gang, consisting of Frank Sparks, Henry Jerold, John Moore, eorge Clinton and others. This robbery was, however, anticipated by the express people, and when the gang attacked the car they were met with a volley of bullets and thrown into consternation, although they returned the guards' fire with a will. During the exchange of shots between the guards on the cars and the marauders one of the former, named Flanders, had his wholo leg shot away, and twoof the gang were captured by theguards. The shooting of Flanders worked up the people of southern Indiana to such an indignant pitch that a vigilance committee was at once organized. They succeeded in capturine two of the mob, and began their good worfc by hanging them to the limb of a tree. Frank Reno and manes Anaerson, wnen tney were given up to the Pinkertons by the Canadian authorities, were taken to New Albany, Ind., where Sim and Bill bad been placed in jail. A few niehts after their return to New Al bany the jail was stormed . by the vizilautes. .who beat down the heavy iron doors and overpowered the jailer. The wildest excitement en sued, and threats were made to burn the vail, but nerore any 01 inese couiu ue carried oat the three Renos were dragged from their cells, together with Charles Anderson, and all four hanged in the corriuors ot the jnll. the vigilantes succeeded in . .1 ' - . . ... marine ineir escape rrom tne law De:ore anv identification coull be got of them. Mike Rogers, me remaining memocr or the gang, remained in UauA for a loug time; but at last, thinking the whole matter had blown over, he ventured Into the united States, where he was captured by the Pinkertons in Illinois for a safe burglary and sent to Joliet for a number of years. After coming out of the penitentiary he joined a gang of counterfeiter, and was arrested with Pete McCartney, in St. Louis. He, however. made bis escape with. McCartney at the time of the memorable jail delivery in St. Louis. Rogers soon afterward fled to Texas, wnere all trace of him was lost. Miles Ogle was eventually captured at Pittsburg, and convicted for counterfeiting. Upon being liberated, he commenced his old business again, and was finally turned up at Memphis. Tenn.. where he was sentenced to tho penitentiary, which term he is now serving. A New WordvWanted. Jan' Francisco Chronicle. The government ought to offer a reward for ftHVoody who will invent a word that will pleas antly, picturesquely, agreeably define a happv veiling among friends. "Social" i3 one of the most horrible words in the language used as a tioun. "Party" means anything or nothing. It is aboluttdy unexpressive. "A good time" comes in for a big drunk, or a picnic, or a funeral, even, for there are people who enjoy, really enjoy, funerals. "A dinner party" seems to stop with the eating. New, if there is a time when people are unsociable, it is at a big dinner party. If yon are fond of eating, conversation's a nuisance, and you can't get up any reaf enable discussion that will not be broken nto by the courses. You've either to deVote yourself to the menu or to your

neighbor. If she's pretty you don't eat your dinner; if the dinner's good it requires a perfect self-abnegation to pay any attention to her. A dinner party is neither one thing nor the other. But after dinner! Well, that's different. "Soiree" is an abominable word. The man that coined it should have been killed. Now what can you call a happy, merry evening? You can't call it anything short and nice and pleasant. People talk about "spending the evening" just as if they had to put in the time somehow and that was all they wanted to do. "Calling" suggests a straightbacked chair; your hat in yonr hand and the hostess in discomfort wishing you'd go. And there's only one word in the English language that means comfort, and peace, and happiness, and enjoyment, and that word is ''home."

AN INTERESTING CRI3IINAI Absorbed in Fastidious Literary Work as the Time for Ills Execution Approaches. Richmond, Va., Special. Thomas J. Cluverius, the condemned murderer of his cousin, Lillian Madison, is the most interesting criminal from a psychological standpoint that- Virginia has ever seen. From the harmless "smiling Moses," as he was known at college, be developed into an emotionless, ironnerved man after he was accused of murder, and now that he is sentenced to death, and will die on the gallows in a few days, he has, to all appearances, forgotten his fate in absorbing literary work. A etndent of human nature would find a wide field for speculation in this criminal, who can forget the gibbet in turning a sentence atid giving his mind to choosing appropriate adjectives when a rope dangles above his head. Last Monday Cluverius began writing an account of his life, asbisted by a minister friend, and all of his waking hours have been given to the work. All at once he has developed the literary enthusiasm of a very young writer whose rosy future has not been marred by rejected manuscripts and financial troubles. He throws his whole soul into the task. He does not write his life for the purpose of gaining wider notoriety, for it is not to be published until after his death, but because pen-worthas a fascination for him. He rises as ealy as the prison rules allow, and sets to work long before breakfast He becomes so absorbed that he does not notice the guard coming in and going out of his cell. When his meager meal is brought in he generally complains of the interruption, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls his attention is again concentrated on his manuscript. At 10 o'clock, or thereabouts, the minister comes in, and during the two or three hours the two are reading over the manuscript, revising, making additions and consulting on the progress of the work. In a conversation yesterday the minister said to the writer: "Cluverius is as fastidious about his work as a young graduate is about hie commencement speech. He rewrites every page, and frequently makes a third or fourth copy. Indeed, he is as careful as if he were writing a book which ne hoped would bring him fame and fortune. Occasionally he has spells of despair when his sentences will not round and when the style will not become smooth. Whenever he writes anything which he thinks particularly good he points it out with great selfsatisfaction. It is a happy thing for the young man that he has taken to thi task for it saves him from brooding on his approaching execution. You might think that his describing his trial and conviction would have the effect of recalling his fate and disturbing his mind, but it is not so. He writes of it all as an outsider, and does not apparently identify himself with the Cluverius who is to die on Jan. 15. In fact he seems to wcrk under the impression that he is merely writing a piece of fiction in the first person, and that after it is written he will have no further concern with the fate of the hero. When the work is published it will undoubtedly have a large sale. It is written so far with considerable power of expression, and the narrative is deeply interesting. Cluverius has not yet indicated his intentions in regard to the proceeds, but I think they will go to his aunt, Mrs. Turnstall, who has spent her little fortune in' employiue counsel for him. You would be surprised at the number of offers he has received from publishers. The proprietor of aN ew York weekly story paper made him an offer of $1,000 for the'manuscript, and a Washington firm offered a large royalty. Cluveriue has taken no notice of the offers. He is so taken up with the literary part of tho venture that he cannot give any attention to business details. The book will not be a confession, as manv people expect. Cluverius defends himself throughout, and will assert his innocence to the last, I think. He has little hope that the Legis lature will do anything for him, and only wants to hmsh his work before the hour of execution arrives. Anti-Saloon Republicans. In reviewing the temperance work of 18S6, the New York Mail and Express says: "The great event of the year has been the growth and development of the anti-saloon movement. Regarded at first with contempt by . its natural enemies, with some jealousy and suspi cion by its natural friends, it has outgrown the one by its tremendous development and conciliated or silenced the other by the wisdom with which it has been guided and the size to which it has attained. Now its natural enemies the brewers and saloon-keepers are more afraid of it than of all the Prohibitionist movements or 'moral suasion' movements that ever . existed. With a platform broad enough for all men to stand upon who believe in temperance at all: with a body of principles comprehensive enough to admit of all varieties of temperance sentim'ent and with methods diverse enough to suit ali forms of temperance agitation; with a splendid organization: with the backing of nine-tenths of the best and strongest element of the old Republican party the party that owed its strength and youth to enthusiasm for 'great moral ideas,' and which must owe its future, if it has any, to the same sort of ideas that Drought it into being and nourished it into vigor and greatness; with all these things, this new movement is so equipped mat ne wouia ne.

NOT MUCH PROHIBITION. Plenty of Liquor Sold In Maine Nowadays 140 Open Bars in Bangor. ' Bangor Letter in New York Sun. The next session of the Maine Legislature will begin in a few days now, and the cold-water people are, as usual, speculating as to whether any further temperance laws will be enacted. It is not likely that they will be gratified, for the prohibitory idea is deader than ever, and nobody seems anxious to resurrect the corpse. While the majority of the people of the State are, of course, in favor of temperance, they also have too much good sense to advocate the spending of the .public money in a useless attempt to enforce an obnoxious statute. From all reports and the statements of General Dow and his friends it would appear that there are some people who believe that Maine is considerable of a prohibition State, after all, but the statistics of the Internal Revenue Office tell quite a different story. From the records it appear that there are in the State no fewer than 1,150 retail liquor dealers who pay a United States government tax of $25 each, and there are undoubtedly a great many who pay no tax

at all, notably the keepers of the dives and clubrooms which Sourish along the Kennebec, in Lewiston and in Portland, where the advocates of prohibition are most active, and where tbey pretend to hold the fort. There are also six wholesale liquor dealers who pay a government tax of $100 each, 101 malt dealers who paj? $20 each, nine wholesale malt dealers $50 each and three brewers. All these concerns, assisted by the druggists, manage to provide quite liberally for the thirsty down-easters. No attempt whatever is made to enforce the law in Bangor, nor do the people of any sect or party appear to want it enforced. Public opinion is, in fact, decidedly opposed to any disturbance of the present state of affairs, which is quite satisfactory. Occasionally a complaint is made and a saloon-keeper fined for selling to a minor. but that is all. To-day so a man long in the business states there are in Bangor 140 open bars, not counting hotels and various other city and suburban resorts. The police require the saloon-keepers to preserve order in their establishments and close at 10 o'clock p. m., and these regulations are very generally complied with, although between the hotels and other nlaces one can generally be accommodated with liquid refreshments at any time np to midnight And yet, with all this freedom of the liquor traffic, the nolice court records show that there are not nearlv as many arrests for drunkenness in Bangor, in proportion to population, as there are in Portland, the home of General Dow and the favorite hunting ground of the Prohibitionists. Let it not be supposed from this that drunkenness is winked at in Bangor, for it is not. The -police force is efficient, and the streets are always orderly, except when the woodsmen come down in the spring and start on a spree to break the thirst which they acquire by a long period of en forced sobriety. 1 he present condition of things is In marked contrast to that of eight or ten years ago. in the days of Sheriff Jerrard, a rampant Prohibition ist, when strennous exertions were made to enforce the law, with the poorest kind of success. That period was a perfect Bedlam in Bangor, beine characterized by street fights between the saloon-keepers and their numerous retainers and the sheriff and his deputies, the police often taking a hand in; by innumerable prosecutions in court; imprisonment for long periods of liquordealers, and marvelous displays of strategy and cunning to evade the officers. The first difficulty of the liquor-dealers was to get their supplies. coming from Boston, from the cars, steamers, or vessels bringing them to their stores in safety, and then came the problem . of how to effect nail v conceal the gooas from the crying eves of tho officere. who searched anywhere and everywhere for them, from a hole in the ground to a bedcham ber. To accomplish all this all sorts of devices were resorted to, with success in about nine cases out of ten. The liquor would be taken from trains at small stations just outside the city, and then concealed in suburban barns until such time as needed, when it was carted into town at dead of night. Confederates on the steamboats used to dump the barrels overboard town the harbor, where boats lay in wait to pick them np, and captains of sailing packets, for a consideration, would anchor below and send up the long-boat full of whisky and rum to the con signee, it would take a big book to tell all of the methods of concealment employed afterthe stuff was once received. It was buried half wav to China, hidden between false partitions and drawn thence through a small pipe running within a water pipe, coucealed in dusty attics, and brought thence in kerosene cans, and, when the officers became too hot on the trail nothing was kept in the bar-rooms at all, but bottles given to a little army of "runners" who stood about the door and sold drinks from their pockets. One neat scheme was to have a little trap cut in the floor behind the bar, on which was placed a pitcher of liquor. In the cellar beneath, and reaching to the ceiling, was a cistern full of water. Patrons were served regularly over the bar, and the instant the approach of an officer was signaled by the shrill whistle of a heeler stationed outside, the bartender touched a spring with his foot and pitcher, liquor and all went into the cistern. The sheriff was often fooled at one door with a barrel of water while a barrel of whisky for shipment into the country was being rolled out of another door. The hotel bars were kept in rooms, the location of which. constantly changing, was made known to desir able customers at the office. There were no mixed drinks then and no ale on draught noth ing but hard liquors and bottled lager beer. All of the stuff was of poor quality, and those who were not caught very often made money fast. But that is al) changed now; it was a disgraceful campaign for Banror, a costly one for Penobscot county, and nobody wants to see it enacted again. Hear This, Messrs. Coy & Co. Chicago "ews. The stuffed ballot-box dies bard, but it will have to go. Our State Educational Institutions. fo the Editor of tlie Indianapolis Journal: To the people' of Indiana their Stale educational institutions are justly a source of pride. Money voted for their support commands the approval of every large-minded citizen. It is, however, easily noticeable to any one who will look into the matter that some very marked changes have of late years been made in the general poiicy and ends of those institutions changes not unquestionably for the best, and of which the people of the State are not generally aware. It is generally supposed that Purdue University is a college of agriculture and of the mechanic arts. A very cursory examination of the course of study, however, reveals the fact that a large percentage of ,the studies pursued have not even a remote bearing upon agriculture and the mechanic arts. The work is largely literary and artistic, so largely, indeed, that young ladies find Purdue Uryiversty a good substitute for an ordinary college or a voung ladies' seminary. Before the General Assembly votes any more money to Purdue its function as a part of the educational system of the State should be more sharply defined. If the greater part ot the work now done in that institution is not essentially different from that done at the State University at Blooraington, it is questionable whether the former has a valid claim upon the State treasury. Indiana cannot afford to support two universities unless it can be clearly shown that the function ofeachisboth theoretically and practicallv distinct from the other. A charge somewhat different in character lies against the State Normal School It has not extended curriculum beyond its own legitimate held. On the coutrary, it has gone to the extreme of restriction. While in its catalogue it puts "a thorough and scientific knowledge of the com mon-school branches" first, and "a knowledge of the methods of teaching the common school branches" third, an examination of its published course of study reveals the fact that the 6tudy of the theory and methods of teaching ex; tends through nine terms, while the study of no one of trie common school studies extends through more than two. Knowledge of the subjects themselves is thus assigned to a subordinate position, while an immense premium is put upon the study of fine-spun theories and complicated methods of instruction. The inevitable consequence of such a policy must be to tnrow into the public school service of the State a class of teachers who imagine that because they have made a thorough study of somebody's theory of school-teaching and methods of instruction it is not particularly important that they should thoroughly know the subjects they are to teach. This absurd doctrine means mischief, to tho

schools. Let the educational committee of the Legislature recommend that as a condition for voting money to the Normal School its course of study be so modified as to insure sound scholarship in the cornnon-school subjects of study, and that much less time be devoted to the study of mere theories and doubtful methods of instruction. Thorough scholarship in tho teacher will find good mhods of instruction, but method without scholarship not only insures its own failure but does incalculable pjury to the schools. In the State University the curriculum is onesided and top-heavv with science studies. Tho

student graduating there can hardly fail to be tnorougniy imbued with the spint of scientific investigation, but he is not likely to be a scholar in the broad and deep sense of that word. The Indiana University owes it to the State to turn out men who not only know science but who can speak and write English as well; men who are intellectually equipped to be leaders in the political, educational and industrial movements of the State, and whose horizon of thought extends further than the laboratory. The institution has already given to the State plenty of that class of men who are willing to wade all day for a mussel or a fish, but when did it turn out a Statesman or great nublia teacher in anv sense? Science ig a good thins, a canital thine, bnfc there is too much of it at the State University. The true function of that institution in the school system of the State is such as to require a moaincation ot us curriculum that will meet the demand for a broader, deener and more humanitarian education. If faithfully used, Ayer's Sarsaparilla will remove the scrofulous taint in whatever form it exist THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1887. The Indianapolis Journal has long enjoyed the dis tinction of being the leading newspaper of Indiana, and occupies a position among the great journals of the country equalled by no other in the State. The experience of the past has clearly demonstrated the necessity for such a paper in this field. The Journal has spared no effort or expense to give to the publio a wide-awake, aggressive newspaper, and it now comes before its readers better equipped to serve them than ever before, and with the assurance that the high standard of excellence it now maintains shall not be lowered in the future. The sessions of the National Congress and the State Legislature, and the important questions to be considered by both bodies, make a firstclass newspaper indispensable to every person. The Journal's reports and reviews of the proceedings of each will be full and accurate, prepared by its own correspondents and reporters. The work before the Legislature will attract more attention than has been bestowed upon a like body in many years, and is of the most important character, involving, as it does, the election of a United States Senator, the government of the State institutions, and other matters of unusual interest. The Journal enjoys facilities for receiving and publishing the news of the day in every way superior to those enjoyed by any other paper in Indiana and equal to any in the country, being a member of both the great press associations, the reports of both the Western Associated and United Press being received at its own office, and- presented to its readers to the fullest extent The Journal is represented at Washington and New York, and other large cities, by tried and efficient correspondents of wide reputuation, who will furnish it with full and extensive accounts of all matters of public interest. The vigilance of these correspondents is a guarantee that the readers of the Journal will be kept fully informed in all that goes to constitute the history of the period. In every town in Indiana, and such portions of adjoining States as are in its patronizing field, the Journal is represented by a special correspondent, and great care is taken to see that the news of this section is givctffjfthe fullest extent possible, , The city news will be given much more fully than by any other paper in Indianapolis, and reports of all occurrences will be presented with impartiality and completeness, by competent writers and news-gatherers. In this department, as in all others, the Journal challenges comparison. Particular attention will be given to its market reports, financial and commercial, and the attention of bankers, merchants, brokers and all others interested in the markets is invited to the Journal's columns. The excellence of these reports has long been recognized; no other paper in Indiana bestows the attention upon this important department given by the Journal. The decisions of the Supreme and local courts will be carefully reviewed by special reporters, and will be accurate and comprehensive. No attorney can afford to be without these reports, as in no other way can he keep so fully informed and abreast of the times. In addition to its news features, the Journal has secured the services of some of the best known writers in the literary field, among them many of the favorite contributors to the leading magazines of the country, who will furnish regular features. Their writings will appear chiefly in the Sunday Journal, which, in point of excellence, has no rival in the State and no mporior in the country. No expense will be spared to make it retain its advanced position among the best journals of the period. 7r THE INDIANA STATE JOURNAL. The weekly edition of the Journal is a complete Compendium of the news of the week, with special features of literary and miscellaneous character, together with latest and most accurate market reports, and special departments devptedto agricultural, horticultural and household topics.
