STORY OF A $1,000 BILL,
A Creat Bank Robbery by Which a Car
Conductor Profited.
The recent attempt of yonng King
to get away with $30,000 from tho
Boylston Bank has drawn forth some
incidents connected with that inaiitu-
tion’s previouR.expcrienc.es. The fol-
lowing one given ns by a New Haven
man is connected with the robbery of
about 1869, when some $400,00p was
lifted from the hank’s vaults by an
elaborately "they worked plan. The method
by which worked, hiring a barber
shop next the hank and rnnniug it for
several nights, while drilling through
the division wall, is familiar to the
press; hut a little incident, which is
not On generally known is this:
the night of tho robbery the
late Conductor “Hez” McKinney of
this city took charge of his “owl” train
ho at Springfield. Among his passengers
noticed particularly three or four
well-dressed men, though they did
not evidence any connection between
them and were not seated together,
One of these men had no ticket, and
saying he was going to Now Haven,
produced a bill in a casual way to pay
the faro. McKinney was pleased at
tho size of the bill—a crisp $1,000
bank note and said ho would have to
hand him tho change after the next
stop, Hartford. At Hartford he got
the money, nnd as tbo train started,
his went through the car to the scat that
man had occupied to square ac-
counts. He identified tho passenger
carefully, nnd started to hand out the
money. The occupant of tho seat,
however, appeared not to recognize
him, gave a blank Blare of amazement
at the mass of money, nnd professed to
have no knowledge of it, haring just
got on at Hartford. Though McKinney
insisted on the identity and urged tho
man to taka tho money, he stoutly ro-
fused. When collection of tickets
■was made this passenger produced
Borne small change and paid faro to
Meriden, where ho got off tho train,
The other men left tho train at differ-
ent stations.
At the ond of tho trip MoKinny re-
ported the occurrence at headquarters
and while refusing to hand over tho i
money, suggested that it bo put in a j
bank and advertised, which ho himself
did. No claim was over made for it.
After a long wait tho railroad com-
pany undertook to claim the money, !
but MoKinny couldn’t see it in that ;
light. He paid over tho fare from
Springfield to New Haven and re- I
tained tho tho rest, being supported
in his action by legal opinion. When
he had allowed a considerable further j
time for any psssihle claim, MoKinny j
used the money in nicely furnishing
his home ,
No cine could ever ho
found as to the source of the money, :
but of course the conjecture was that
the bill was probably a part of the
bank s funds; that he passenger
handed it out by mistake ami dtscov-
ermg it when too late, decided to let
it all go rather than leave a trad.- ;

betrayal of trust was heard of from
the 1’otomne to the Itio Grande; nnd
General Henry 1!. Jackson eloquently
said of them, “they deserve a monu

the cause of this alarming degeneracy
of the negro? I heard a prea-her say

crime or any other was tho evidence of
a depraved aud lawless public aenti-
meat. Ho is mistaken It is rather
the evidence of minds charged,perhaps
overcharged, with love and respect for

has neither is a lit juror to try the
case, lie is incapable of understand-
inn or appreciating the common peril

is the majesty of tlie law worth to a

to time apprehending a similar visitn-
tioii? What does a young man, whoth-
cr preacher or editor or lawyer, know
about it? Jean Ingelow (God bless
her sweet memory!) makes the old
fisherman to say: “I feel for mariners
of stormy nights am] f,> e l for wives
that watch ashore.” Who knows the
perils of the deep like fishermen?
Some of those learned judges and law
yers and preachers of Atlanta have
and given malignant vent to language that is bitter
against lyuehiugs for
any crime, but it is to bo noted dial
they have long lived in call of tho po¬
lice by night and by day, and within

It is
taneous outburst of emotions long felt
and long smothered, and those emo-
tions are based upon love—love for
home ami wife and children, love and
respect for the wives and daughters of
the neighbors. Lynching negroes for
'hi® or ' u| e i R ho evidence of lawless-
stands h«* r among our people. The crime
for out by itself as nu atroe
!t . v which no law is adequate and
no d should remedy has yet been found. Why
be ou the increase, in deli
11100 of lynching* we cannot tell. It
may be that since the war northern
{hitavhropy, supplemented by south¬
ern office-seekers, have so exalted his
consequence and bis desire for social
has equality that liis fear of punishment
been allayed. But certain it is
•hat the race has not yet been greatly
intimidated by lynching*, and they
are considered martyrs by most of their
preachers and tea hers and editors.
How many more outrages there would
ho if lynching* should stop we can
only conjecture. Bishop Turner pro¬
posed a day of fasting and prayer for
the deliverance of his people from
these horrible lynching*, bit not a
shall hear and fear?” What a horrible
death was that! And yet it was a com-
mon and a frequent punishment. If
I mn a preacher f wouldn't go to the
Old Testament for a text against lynch¬
ing. I wouldn’t even quote Cain,
whom the Lord marked, for it seem s
very certain that if the Lord had not
interfered the people would have
lynched him. Josephus says that the
Lord protected him because of his
offering and because lie entreated and
said: “I my sin too great-to he foi
given?”
To my mind the sum of the whole
matter is that neither the law’s delay
nor its uncertainty has anything to do
"i'h Ihc impulses and emotions that
control men when they pursue and
overtake and identify and execute a
negro for his crime against helpless
innocence. Every parent and bus-
hand and brother in the neighborhood
immediately becomes an avenger of
blood. If the brute has already been
caught by the officers of the law and
securely placed irr prison, then let him
stay there and meet his doom accord¬
ing to law. I would not take any
prisoner away from an honest and
faithful sheriff-—unless, perhaps, the
victim was one of my family, nor even
then unless it could lie done without
shedding the blood of officers or
friends.
For all other c/iraes the laws we
have are good enough for all good citi¬
zens, and I feel no great concern for
word about the outrages that provoke
them.
But it is curious and somewhat
amusing to read the different counts in
this general bill of indictment against
the people who resort to violence.
Some assert vehemently that there is
a defect in the law ’s machinery, and
some say not. One preacher says that
98 p r cent of those indited escape.
One more would come square up to
Judgo Dooly’s estimate when he su d:
“Gentlemen of the jury, I charge yon
that the ninety-nine guilty ones have
already escaped.” One learned lawyer
says that. Ryder would certainly have
been tried and convicted in Septem¬
ber, and doubtless been speedily ex¬
ecuted. Another says he would have
been sent to the asylum as a lunatic.
Judgo Bleckley says the law- needs no
reforming—-that. it. is right now. Tho
Bar association have resolved that it
does need reforming. One preacher
quotes scripture that says “The
land must not he defiled with blood,”
but does not give the context that
says “innocent blood,” and tho fur¬
ther context that says “Deliver him
unto the hand of the avenger of blood
that he, may die, and thine eyes shall
not pity him.” Life for life, hand for
hand, etc. “Let them stone him with
atones,” etc. It. seems like a burlesque
for any preacher to go to the old Mosiac
law tor a text against summary pun¬
ishment of heinous crimes. The
avenger of blood was on the warpath
all tlio time and even the mail who un¬
wittingly killed Ins neighbor, not hat¬
ing him before hand, had to fly for his
life to the city of refuge lest tho a von-
ger of blood overtake him, and being
hot shall slay him. Yes, being hot
shall slay him Those avengers of blood
must have been blood-thirsty ft'I lows
indeed. It. was an awful code of Jaw,
but the children of Israel were an aw-
fnit race to deal with, I wonder what
tho hoys of this generation would
say to a law like this: “If
a man have a stubborn and re¬
bellions son who will not obey the
\oi<v of hts lather or his mother, then
shall liis father lay hold on him and
bring him to the elders and say, this,
our son, will not. obey our voice, And
all ith the stones men of lho eiiy shall stone him
w that he die. And Israel
the bad. I suppose that at least half
the lawyers carry concealed weapons,
but they don’t carry them for me.
Certain it is I want no advice on this
subject from press or pub it, from
judges or lawyers, aud especially from
young unmarried men or those who
live iu rook-built cities. I hud rather
hear and heed the voice of the women
of this southern land, tho mothers and
daughters who alone are the victims

JURY WAS OUT SEVENTEEN HOURS
Convicted Murderer’s Attorney Moves
Htrafghttvuy for a New Trial—Argu¬
ment W ill he Heard on the I4th.
LdwardC. Flanagan was pronounced
guilty of murder by tho jury at Deca¬
tur, Ga., Saturday morning.
He was at once sentenced by the
judge, Hon. John S. Candler, to die
on the gallows on Wednesday, August
25th.
Colonel Glenn, the prisoner’s lead¬
ing counsel, straightway filed a motion
for a new trial. It will he argued on
Saturday, August 14th.
The jury was out seventeen hours
before reaching a verdict.
At 8:45 Saturday morning Flanagan
was led, handcuffed, to the court¬
house.
“Let the jury come out," said the
judge.
The 12 men who for six days had
patiently this struggled with all the facts
of remarkable case, tiled into the
room.
“Gentlemen, have yon agreed upon
a verdict?” asked liis honor.
“We have,” said the foreman.
Solicitor Kimsey took the paper on
which was written the prisoner’s fate
and read in clear tones:
“We, the jury find the defendant
guilty.”
< i I ask that the jury be polled,” said
Colonel Glenn.
j he judge called the name of each
juror and asked: “Is that your verdict?
Do you agree to it?” Every man re-
sponded promptly, “yes.”
downcast During this time Flanagan sat with
eyes as if meditating the fate
that was in store for him.
Mr. Flanagan, stand up!” said
Judge Candler.
The man slowly rose, and sentence
was pronounced as follows:
“It is ordered by the court that the
defendant, Edward C. Flanagan, he
taken from the bar of this court to the
common jail of DeKalb county and
bo there safely and securely kept until
Wednesday, the 25th day of August,
1897, when, between the hours of 11
o’clock a. m. and 1 o’clock p. m., he
shall be taken from there by the sheriff
of DeKalb county aud in private in
the jail yard of DeKalb county, be
lmng by the neck until he is dead,aud
may God have mercy on his soul.”
“It is further ordered that in the
execution of the sentence said sheriff
have such guard as in his discretion is
necessary, and that he procure the at¬
tendance of two physicians to ascer¬
tain when life is extinct.
“It is further ordered that tho de¬
fendant lie allowed at the time of the
execution of this sentence to have us
many as two ministers of the gospel
present, and such of his immediate
family as he may desire, to he limited
by the discretion of the sheriff,”
After sentence had been passed the
judge discharged the jury, after thank¬
ing them fur their attendance and good
deportment.
INSURGENTS CAPTURE A TOWN.
They Got #40,000 In Gold, Besides a Big
Lot. of Supplies.
The story telegraphed from Havana
last about an attack by insurgents on
Mariano, a suburban town, is fully
confirmed by passengers who left Ha¬
vana on the riant line steamer Mns-
cotte Saturday noon and arrived at
Tampa, Fla., Saturday night.
The engagement was short and des¬
perate. Forty-nine Spaniards were
killed and 120 wounded; two Cubans
were killed and twenty wounded.
The inhabitants of the town lied for.
their lives, leaving the insurgents in
complete possession. They sacked the
place and secured $40,000 in gold
besides a lot of supplies that they
could carry away.

IN PAMPHLET FORM.
The Nsw Tariff Ait Makes a Document of
Seventy Pages,
A Washington special says: The
first copies of the tariff act in law form
for circulation have been received at
the document rooms of the senate and
house.
The law makes a pamphlet of 70
pages. The members of tho house
will have 25,0 0, the senators 10,000
and the senate committee on finance
l i.OOO copies for distribution, making
50,000 in all to be circulated.
TARIFF ACT CAUSES HOWL.
Protestations Pouring In From All Farts
Of the World.
A Washington speccial says: In a
late number of the Congressional Rec¬
ord containing speeches on the tariff
Conference report is a speech by M. N.
Johnson, of North Dakota, in which
he makes a compilation of the protests
received by the state department
from tho representatives of foreign
governments against certain duties
imposed in the Dingley tariff hill
while that measure was pending.
Some of these protests have been
made public, others have been re¬
ferred to the committees having the
tariff bill in charge, and little or no
attention has been paid to them.
Nearly all these communications
revert to the commerce between the
several countries and the United
States. They insist that the new
tariff bill will retard that commerce
and some of them intimate that it will
result in decreasing the demand for
American goods; some of the ministers
disclaim any intention to interfere in
the internal affairs of the United
States, but make the representations
of the bonelit of the commerce between
the countries. Some suggestions are
made that the injury to be done the
treasury of the United States on ac¬
count of the imposition of the pro¬
posed duties will be considerable.
Minister Brim, of Denmark,calls at¬
tention to the fact that the tariff on
American goods going into Denmark
is very favorable and that his govern¬
ment views with a great deal of ap¬
prehension the pending tariff bill and
the rates especially.
Sir Julian Paunceforte sent two very
brief communication, one in Decem¬
ber, 1896, informing the state depart¬
ment that the fishery board of Scot-
laud protested against tho high rate
1 cured herrings and at the request
on
of marquis of Salisbury he represents
to the United States government that
the high rates which the Dingley bill
imposes on salt mackerel and other
cured fish would cause grave injury to
the fishermen on the west coast of Ire¬
land. This note is dated June 18,1897.
The protest of Argentine agaiust the
duty on hides and wool and of Japan
against a number of duties has already
been published. China made a pro¬
test on lines similar to those of Japan.
SMALLPOX IN ALABAMA.
Over Three Hundred Cases Developed But
No Deaths Desalt.
The physicians of Montgomery,
Ala., have practically all agreed that
the twelve cases of sickness now- in
the city’s pesthouse are smallpox, al¬
though of a mild form. Compulsoi y
vaccination has been ordered and the
police are goiug from house to house
insisting on compliance with the law.
The smallpox situation in tho state
is now somewhat alarming, The dis¬
ease is of the mildest type ever known
to the physicians, but it is spreading
too much for the public safely.
The very mild form of the disease is
shown by the fact that out of the 500
cases developed in Alabama within a
