BANK ROBBERS CAUGHT.

.Jk Pair of Desperadoes Ron Down at AL. leotowa, N. J., and Captured. Allentown, N. J., Not. 30.—Two faring robbers entered the Farmers’ national bank here Tuesday aftensoon. and covering the cashier and teller 'with revolvers relieved them of nearly >2,000. Later the robbers were captured and the money recovered. It was just before 3 o’clock and the cashier was preparing to close the bank when the robbers entered. In the bank at the time were Cashier Hutchinson and Teller Smith. Within easy reach of the cashier was $1,894 in bills. The men stepped up to the desk, and when Mr. Hutchinson looked up his eyes lighted on the barrels of two revolvers held close to his face. “Turn your face to the wall,” sternly cried the •Ider of the men. The taller glanced up at the remark and the other revolver was instantly pointed at him. He understood the situation and followed his chiefs example. “Now, then,” said the speaker of the robbers, “is this all the money you have?” “Yes,” replied the cashier, “that is aIL” “That’s all,” said the robber who was conducting the scheme. “Just keep your face to the wall for five minutes and you’ll not be harmed.” Leaving the bank they started on a swift rus toward the Imlaystown road. They had hardly reached the walk when Mr. Hutchinson started after them, followed by the teller. Once in the street the men cried “Stop thief!” as loudly as they could. Hearing the cries several persons ran into the street with their revolvers and joined in the chase. In a short time they were joined by several farmers armedwith shotguns. The thieves, who were almost floundering in the mud, realizing that their pursuers had gained on them, attempted to jump a fence, but the rails were wet and they slipped back. Before they could rise Cashier Hutchinson was upon them and cried out: “Throw up your hands.” Turning around the thieves found themselves confronted by more than a score of revolvers and shotguns and they yielded. The elder of the robbers said his name was Frederick S. Smith and that his age was 25. His companion gave the name of J. B. Morris, aged 20. They were committed by a justice to await the action of the January grand jury.

DEATH OF DR. SCOTT.

President Harrison's Venerable Father-In-Law Succumbs to Old Age., Washington, Nov. 30.—Death has again visited the white house. At 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon the venerable Dr. Scott, the father-in-law of President Harrison, passed away. The end was not unexpected, as he has been hovering between life and death for several days. His demise was almost confidently expected during the day. President Harrison spent most of the day in the room of the venerable invalid ana was with him at the last moment. The death of Dr. Scott adds one more name to the already long list of deaths within the administration circle. This makes the fifteenth. Of this number three of the deaths have occurred in the Scott' family. It is a record of gloom unprecedented in the history of the white house. The aged invalid passed away without a struggle as quietly and as peacefully as a child falls asleep. He had been unconscious for hours, and was unable to recognize the weeping friends at his bedside. Stimulants were administered hypodermically, but only served to defer the inevitable. The president and family are very much prostrated at their bereavement. [Rev. John Witherspoon Scott, D. D., was born In Beaver county, Pa, June 22, 1800, and was therefore in the 93d year of his age. He was a son of George McElroy Scott, a native of Bucks county. Dr. Scott graduated from a college at Washington, Pa., and subsequently took a post-graduate course at Yale. After-, ward he accepted a professorship in the college from which he graduated, which position he held for two years. About this time he married Mary Neal, and, going west, he accepted a professorship in Miami university at Miami, 0., in 1826. While there three children were born to him—Elizabeth, after ward Mrs. Lord; Caroline, afterward Mrs. Harrison, and John Neal Scott A number of years later Dr. Scott founded the Oxford (Ohio) female college, and in 1850 became its president As he advanced in years Dr. Scott gave uj. the college work and coming to W ashington was appointed to a clerkship in the interior department, which position he held up to the time of the advent in Washington of President Harrison, when he resigned at the instance oi the president and took up his abode at the white house. He was engaged for mont.br prior to his death on a voluminous genealogy of the Scott family, but was unable To finish it]

Galveston, Tex., Nov. 80.—Tuesday morning’s 4:30 train from Houston, bringing to Galveston eastern mails and expressage received from the Southern Pacific at New Orleans, brought also Wells, Fargo & Co.’s Express Messenger Harris, who had in charge a package addressed to the Island City savings bank, Galveston, valued at SIO,OOO. This package had been received from the WellsFargo express messenger on the New Orleans-Houston run and had been shipped out by Kountz Bros., of New York city. The valuable parcel was taken to the consignees and received and signed for by the bank’s teller, John T. McCarthy. When Mr. McCarthy opened the bundle it was found to contain nothing but brown paper cut in slips about the size of a bank note and neatly made up into bundles, fastened with rubber bands.

FOUGHT WITH ROBBERS.

A Sheriff Killed In a Conflict with Desperate Thieves—The Leader of the Gang Lynched. Rome, Ga., Nov. 28.—The little town of Plainville, Ga., 16 miles north of this city, was in a state of excitement Saturday over a serious shooting affray that took place there Friday night Sheriff McGinnis, of Gordon county, with a posse of men went to arrest Jester Scott and William Morrow, who were said to be implicated in a bold robbery at Little Bow several nights ago. It was learned that the two men were in a house together, and when the sheriff and his posse approached the house the men came out with revolvers and opened fire on the sheriff and his posse. Sheriff McGinnis was shot in the stomach and died in a short time. The men who accompanied Sheriff McGinnis returned the fire and a general fight ensued, in which Scott was captured and one of the sheriff’s deputies was shot. Scott was taken at once to Calhoun for safe keeping, as there was no place at Plainville where he could be safely kept When the' prisoner reached Calhoun a large number of people had congregated around the jail and it was feared that he would be lynched. He was placed in jail, however, without being molested. Information received from Calhoun Saturday stated that an immense crowd was around the jail, and was making threats of lynching Scott A special from Rome later says an armed mob had left that place, and, upon reaching Calhoun, had entered the jail and hanged Scott and released a number of prisoners. it is claimed that it was this gang who held r.p the East Tennessee express near here a year ago and robbed the messenger of S6O. Two months ago they held up a train at Piedmont Ala., 20 miles from here, and secured $750 from the Southern Express "Company and SSOO from the United States mails. Two weeks ago three of them attempted to hold up a train on the Western & Atlantic road at Adairsville, 20 miles from Rome. This attempt was foiled by the strategy of a brave flagman. The store and post office robbery at Little Row Tuesday night was the last and most daring venture of the gang.

ENDED BY DEATH.

The Career of Cardinal Archbishop LaviKerle Closed—Demise of the Famous “Black Cardinal'* in Algiers—Brief Account of His Great Work. Algiers, Nov. 28.—Charles Martial Allemand-Lavigerie, cardinal archbishop of Carthage and Algiers, died here at 1 o’clock a. m. Saturday. [Charles Martial AUemand Lavigerie was born at Bayonne, France, October 31, 1825. He was educated for the church and soon became noted for his learning on theological subjects. He became professor of ecclesiastical history in the faculty of Paris. His abilities early attracted attention beyond the bounds of France and he was summoned to various honorable .functions at the papal court, all of which he discharged to the eminent satisfaction of his ecclesiastical superiors. By decree of March. 1863, he was designated as bishop of Nancy, and by a later, decree of January 12, 1867, he was transferred to the see of Algiers, which was erected into on archbishopric. Ho was afterward promoted to the rank of cardinal and has gained world-wide fame not only as one of the most distinguished prelates of the Roman church, but more especially on account of his successful efforts to reconcile the papacy to the French republic. It was through Cardinal Lavigerie that the present pope was led to issue his famous statement to the effect that the Catholics of France should recognize and obey the republic, and substantially that there was no cause for difference between the church and the republican institutions. This position of the pope was a deathblow to the monarchist movement in France, and many who had faithfully adhered to the royalist cause, because the church was supposed to be in sympathy with royalty, now gave in their adhesion to the republic. Cardinal Lavigerie’s influence is believed also to have had something to do with shaping the pope’s favorable attitude toward republican institutions in the United States and throughout the world. Mgr. Lavigerie was known all over christendom as the “Black Cardinal” on account of his long and remarkable crusade against slavery in the Dark Continent Six months ago he was at the point of death, as he had been three years previously, but he recovered, and notwithstanding his advanced age and delicacy of health it was hoped that he might still be spared for a number of years to carry on his great work.]

AN EARTHQUAKE.

It Almost Destroys a City In San SalT*. dor—Many Killed and Injured. San Francisco, Nov. 28. Advices from La Union. San Salvador, by the steamer City of Sydney, are that an earthquake has laid low nearly all the houses in the city and that those left standing had their walls so cracked that it was not safe to remain in them. The people are living in tents, and are in fear of further disturbances. A passenger on the steamer City of Panama, which called at La Uniot on the way up, and which was subsequently passed by the City of Sydney, writes that he went ashore and viewed the ruins. The desolatiot was complete. Residents of the city were almost driven to frenzy and processions were parading the streets ringing bells, headed by priests praying for an abatement of the disturbances. Many persons were killed and many seriously injured.
