Campbell took tbe check and hurried away to the office of Robert Warren in the Royal Insurance building, where be received its full face value in cash. Mr. Carrntbers hastened to the bank to stop the payment of the check, taking two officers with him, expecting to find Campbell there. The robber was too shrewd for that, and escaped arrest until last night.

Ofllca in Matson's ofllcc, Matuon building, oppoaite the Court House*  The charges against the school proprietors who had profited by the abuse were also made the subject of consultation, but it is said that Superintendent Higbee was regarded as the one who was chiefly re - sponsible to the public for the wrongs that grow up under his administration, and that proceedings against the school proprietors would await the desposition of the proceedings against Higbee. Tbe consultation 1*8ted three lionra. Tho recent report of General Wagner, who, a* State Ii.- or of the schools, has made » close examination into their condition and management, was incidentally referred to, and is expected to constitute an important, fator in the criminal proceedings to lie instituted. It is understood that liOspecitioations of wrong doing have been formulated against Superintendent lligbee. It was inated at the conference that Mr. Higbeo had gene to Michigan and would not return until October. In view of this fact it is likely that a warrant for his arrest will not be issued until his return, and therefore the ense cannot bo brought to trial until the November term of the Dauphin county court. Hamusbukg, August 25.—In the Eneatin Department to-day the remits at the investigation into the Soldiers' Orphans' schools were under with m riew to tbe preparation of Indictments against persons whoseoonreejnstified saoh a procedure. Those present were Governor Pattison, Deputy Attorney General Suodgrass, District Attorney McCarrell, of Danphin county, and J. Howard Gendell, Esq., of Philadelphia, who baa been retained as special counsel for tbe Commonwealth.Failed In lilvo Relief. NRveil Fifteen Live*. Neither of tbe contracting parties shall be bound to deliver up its own citizens under the stipulotion of this treaty. This provision wm held by Secretary of State Fiah, when, in 1884, the Mexicans demanded the extradition of Alexander Trimble, an American citizen, for alleged crimes committed in Mexico, to be mandatory, and that nnder it an American citisen is aot subject to surrender. He said, however, in a second dispatch, that if evidence sufficient to warrant extradition, aside .from the question of citizenship, were fonnd, the matter would be left to the local authorities, the President requiring that, before any actual snrrender, the accused person should have an opportuni ty for a bearing befor the Supreme Court of the United States. In the meantime the prisoner had been discharged by the Texan authorities upon receipt of the first dispatch, and the opportunity for a ruling by the Supreme Court was loit. More than three years ago the agents of the two Governments, after due discnssion, concluded a supplemental extradition treaty, the purpose of which was to remedy this defect, and to make it possible to mete out justice iu cases where the guilt was notorious. The pivotal feature of the new treaty is a provision conferring, in express terms, the power to surrender a criminal citizen of either country to the authorities of the other at the option of the Executive. This treaty was sent to the American 8en»te in 1885, but remained unacted upon until the third of Juue last, when it was amended and ratified. It is now presumed to be before the Mexican Senate for concurrence in tbe amendments. between tbe two complications with Mexico recall attention to a defect in oar own extradition laws which baa for some years been a anb- r, Angnt 87.—Onr present oountries. Tbe existing extradition treaty contain* the following: ject of II N D E R W E A R ST. ELMO STORE, Ejected n Bnt After Seven Yrars. He trained "Billy" Burke, alias "Kid" Burke, and "Kid" O'Brien, two of the most successful bank robbers of the decade. Kid O'Brien was killed by a Chicago policeman seven years ago, and after 10 years of uninterrupted success, Bil ly Burke is now doing a long term in Auburn, N. Y. After the Galesburg job Carroll fled to Canada, but Ouerin and Matches were caught. Both were settled for 12 years in Joliet, and Carroll will now be takeu back to Gelesburg for trial. He states that be has just returned from the Pacific coast, where he weut to rob the members ot the G. A. K. Twentyeight thieves left Milwaukee in a Pullman car for San Francisco on July 28, and those who were uot arrested are now returning. Sr. Lotus, August 26.—"Jimmy" Carroll, one of the most expert bank sneaks in the Uuited States, was arrested here today while planning to rob the Merchants' Bank. Auother crook who gave the name of R. A. 8impson, and who is not known to tbe police, was arrested with him. Carroll is well kuowu in Chicago, and five years ago was arrested with Paddy Gnerin and "Mollie" Matches. He robbed the Galesburg, Ills., bank of $12,000, a Cleveland bank of $10,000, and in 1676 was the principal in the robbery of tbe Indianapolis National Bank, in which tbe thieves seemed $25,000. A little playmate came to see him yesterday, and Walter snapped him slightly in the face. The physicians fear that this boy has also been iuoculated with the poison. Last evening the sutt'erer became quiet for a while and slept for a few moments.;Ile awoke with a trainer and barked like a dog, bent himself nearly double,, gnashed his teeth, blood and foam gashed from his mouth, and h» was dead. Fokt Worth, August "27.—On the lat in of W. K- Gandy, near this city, on August 8, a rabid dog bit Walter Gundy, I years old, in the face. The parents at ouco took him to Deutou, where a madstone was applied. It. would not adhere, and it was said that no virus had entered the system. Not satit-fled, the father took the boy to Mansfield, where a second madstone was applied. It also refused to adhere. On Saturday the little fellow said his throat was sore, and he refused to eat. He cried when water was brought near him, and soon became frantic. Physicians went out from Fort Worth and exhausted their skill, but the boy grew worse, and greenish foam issued from his moath. Hi# piteous cries aud contortions were simply horrible. I>niiK<'roii« Dynamite. H O S I i E R Y Shortly after the day shift left flames went up the shaft way rapidly. Egress by that avenue was cut oif. Some one on Madison street yelled fire. Six policemen from the Armory were just going on dnty, and heard the cry. They saw the flames, and, rushing to the building, found the place a roaring furnace. Men, women •nd children had their beads out of the windows and ready to jump. They were implored to wait, as death would only resalt. Six officers broke open the door and carried the children to the sidewalk. Then they returned for the others and brought them safely to the street. Then the department arrived, and after a hard fight of tw o hours flooded the building. The loss is about $50,000. The building was occupied by W. A. Shaw, Jacobs & Ferguson, John McConville and Veils & Oppenheimer. Great praise is due Officers Ward, Cormick and Laughlin for their heroic work. They surely saved 15 souls. Chicago, August 2?.—A great firo broke out at 7 o'clock this evening in tbe fourstory building 116aod 118 Franklin street. Fifteen persons were in the building at the time, and a terrible holocaust was only averted by the efforts of six policemen- Those iu the building consisted of six men, 4 women and 5 children. The children were suffocated, hue regained consciousness on being treated at a drug store. The occupants were working over-time. The door leading to the street was locked and effectually barred. When work was done the employes wero to leave the building on tbe elevator. G U F F S Reading, August 25.—The town of Stouubsburg, this county, is greatly excit ed at present. Recently several of the citizens came to Reading and complained that Harry "W. Stump, a dynamite manufacturer, and resident of the town, had large quantities of the dynamite stored in residence, sufficient to blow up the town. A warrant was sworn out and this morning it was served on Stump. He gave bail. Several years ago a dynamite factory blew up near Stouchsburg, and killed three men and shattered a church, Stump entered bail and immediately employed an attorney and entered suit for conspiracy against the complainant. He says that they spread false reports merely to annoy him and that he has been compelled to remove bis factory several times because they circulated reports of its dangerous character among the near by residents. Boston, August 25.—Mrs. Mary Powers, a respectable married woman, 45 years old, liviug at No. 21 Grant street, Cambridge, told to-day the following story, and her daughter, neighbors and many acquaintances believe her statement: She said, in substance, that she lived in Arlington seven years ago, that, one night after drinking water from the pump, in the dark, she began to feel pains in her stomach. For some timo after she was under the care of a physician, and could obtain no relief from her terrible pains. After the lapse of more than a year, she went to Massachusetts General Hospital, and remained there sometime without finding relief, and was ultimately sent to her home. Last Saturday, Snnday and Monday she experieucad intense pains—worse, if possible, tl.au any she had felt before— and during the night of Monday she discharged something a bat, having the wings of a bar, a head resembling a lizard and the whole bring about three inches long. It is alive, and tht> action of the resiratory organs is plainly visible. Mrs. Poweis says that after the thing was ejected she beouuie, for the tirst time in nearly seven years, free from pain, and has continued well s|nce. It is a matter of fact that her case has puzzlad all the physicians she has consulted. Bond Agent* Operating. A Bloodies* Duel. Washington, August 27.—The vexed question as to the successor of Public Printer Rounds has been settled. As stated in these dispatches some time ago, the lucky man is one not prominently mentioned in connection with the place. While it was confidentially known here that Mr. Thomas E. Benedict, of New York, was to be the man, news of the aotual appointment came first from Middletown by Associated Press last night. There has been a long and exasperating contest for this particular office, and no less than 10 applicants were after it at one time. It seems to have been a favorite with country printers, whose ambition had outgrown their native towns. The position is a very responsible and trying one, as Mr. Benedict will soon ascertain. DUBQQUE, August 27.—The  isti to-day served 40 mora saloon keepers with notice to quit or incur the penuities of the Clark law. Thore are now on the docket over 200 injuction suits against saloon keepers. The case will come before Judge Couch, of the Distriot Court, in September term. It is the general belief that, the saloons will be closed, but it is h'sd firmly believed that there will bo b.o id shed. The saloon men are determined t.o to Iheond.aud the Shariff H ho will have to comply with the law. The Flint l.iuly toNwiin Xlajrarn. A C K E T S Buffalo, August 25.—Miss Jeauuelto Larke, a handsome young lady of Youngstown, swam the Niagara river below the rapids near her home this afternoon. She was accompanied by William Wilkiuson, and the distance was about a mile and a half. Miss Larke re»ch6d the Cauada shore with very little exhaustion, and seemed perfeotly fiesh, although heroompanion was very tired. This is the lirst time a lady has aooorn|>lUhe<l the feat of swimming fit* rivtr at this point. Calgary, Man., August 25.—Yesterday at a quarter to one the Edmonton stage was stopped by two masked men on the road eighteen miles from Calgary. There were in the stage, besides Peter Campbell, the stage-driver, J. Burns, a traveler for Mr. Ashdown, of Winnipee, a Masey Company's traveler, and a Frenchman, name unknown. The masked men wore stripes from the Union jack over their faces and Petkrtbubg. Atgust 27.—From Scot- carried oarbines and revolvers. They wcre land Neck, N. C., comes news of a duel on foot and jumped out of the long grass fought near that place between Charles and stopped the horses. They ordered the Cnrrie and Sam Covington, which had its party to descend. They then marched the origin in a dispute about drinking hard prisoners into Coulee, where they went, cider. The two men had previously been through their pockets. Burns lost $70,but on friendly terms, but when they began to another $70 he had on him was overlooked. "u " ,' . ' , . .. * , ..
