a we sone ROSAS TOS, LENE ETCETERA EES ORDD SUNDAY, NOV. 11. 1998 The Nigger Tent Robbery. The lone highwayman who stood up the Downieville staye while it Was coming to this city Thursday made a heavier haul than has heretofore been publicly reported: He-got-from the Express Company a gold bar from Downieville worth $2,209 and also some $800 besides, besides all the mail matter which he carried away with him. He went into the bushes 60 or 70 feet from the road und with a hatchet broke open the two wooden express boxes by smashing in the front ofthem. The mail sacks were cut in two just below the padlocks. The crime was doubtless committed by some one’ well acquainted. around ; there. : Ratification at You Bet. The You Bet Republicans on Friday evening fired a series of blasting powder salutes in honor of Harrison’s election. This was merely an informal demonstration indulged in, as B. F. Snell of that town told the reporter yesterday,’because thev were so full of joy that they could not hold themselyes longer. ‘‘But,”’ said. Mr. Snell, “we will have our big time Monday night. We propose to build a mammoth bonfiré on Chalk Bluff Mountain and shoot off all the powder we cin get.

In Sierra county heretufore a Democratic candidate for office has stood about as good a chance of getting what he wanted us did the historical ea\ without claws when it went to hades on a prospecting tour, But on Tuesdey last, according to a gantleman who arrived here Friday evening from Downieville, the vote on some of the candidates took a flop and quite an element of independent voters was unexpectedly developed. The gentleman says the returns as tar as received indicate the election of three Democrats. George Abbey of Sierra City defeats the present Republican Supervisor froni that district. For Assemblymaa from Sierra and Plumas counties Bert. Schlesinger, a rising young attorney of Sierra City who led the forlorn. hope of the Democracy, is believed.to have defeated H. K. Turner.of Sierra Valley who formerly was a well-known resident of Nevada county. Schlesinger is figured to be about 30 votes ahead. For County Treasurer, Martin Carroll of Sierra City, Democrat, has at last accounts 31 votes more than John Scott, an old-line Republican who has been Treasurer Yor ten years or so past and has proved faithful to his trust. ae Died From a Rattie-Suake’s Bite.

What the Late Election showed Plainly. : RE he —_ storm . as passed, it may be useful to reflect on the causes that have produced such results both in the nation and county. The natioal r2sult proclaimed to the world that the United States with their vast and diverse resouces and industries are content tu be self -ustaining, and: have forever renounced all dogmas that tend toward freer trade with outside dations. © The lesson in Nevada county is that no one can be.certian in advance of his elsction, and. that the appointment of deputies is not always a source of strength to a camidate. «In proof of this,note the fact that neither Morgan, Brady or Danster publicly be. Perhaps for this reason they recvived the support of that class of men who believe every man ought to run. on his own merits and not seek to bolster himself up by violating the law in regard to the selection of deputies. The dissatisfaction that resulted in the defeat of so much of the Republican county ticket was produced by numerous causes which it might be well for officials to observe hereafter. It goes without saying that Republicans caused the defeat of their own party nominees. The so-cul ed ‘‘too many terms” objection was not used so much by way of argument as. by way of excuse for changing votes. Not one of the successful candidates on either side can be classed as a politivian. Except Brady, they might be called green hands at the business. Does this show that_the old _ political methods are play it? Not one of the elected wag rich enough to make a costly fight. Does this prove that money has ceased to be a power in elections? It proves at least that a clean social deportment and visitation from house to house are excellent substitutes for spending so much money in bar rooms. Surely this is an improvement. A man’s friends often elect him to office.by working for him “like beavers,” only to find themrelves ignored by. him when he is successful. In Buch cases the office hold-r is. fool enough to think he can get along without his old friends and goes to work in the delusive hope of making ‘‘friends” among’ his political foes. The next time he rnns he finda himself all alone without his old ‘warriors,’ .and_ perishes in the hour of battle. . Sxuan. _ A “Knifer.” The New York Evening Post gives the following detiuition of the term “«knifer,”’ which has come into American politica with a specific application to the New York Sun and Mr. Dana, in this campaign: The ‘‘knifer” must profess outward good will to the candidate whom he is ‘knifing,’”’ so as to injure him more effectively by spreading stories or predictions, or muking ‘‘admis-ions,” whieh, coming trom an open enemy, woulddo little harm, but coming from & professed friend make more or less impression.

HUMORS OF THE ELECTION. TRANS OIVINS: DAY. 1s: LESSON. re PERSONAL MENTION. HERE — THERE. ds Walnapi ol USES we ts tiated . do . parang bt oft st Buca : in a Few Months—No More Safe Crackers—Bank Burgiars Go “ -st. “The last remnant of the grex': «. band ofbank robbera that thecountry ~~ ever produced will be at large in «few months,” said Police Inspector i.omas Byrnes to-day during a chat over the remarkable decrease in tig crimein New York city. Itisa fact that New York is getting to bea highly moral city. Tho Manhattan Bank robbery was the last great steal. It isalsomany years since any professional cracksmen’ have dared to venture into the precincts sacred to financial interests about Wall strect. The arrests mado this year. number more than they did ten years ago, but tho crimes committed are by a large percentage of a petty nature, From 1872 to 1876 many banking institutions in all partsof the country wero robbed by the most daring methods, During these four years the gang headed by Jim Dunlap, to whom Inspector Byrnes referred above, stole nearly $4,000,000 in cash and? marketable bonds, Detective Sergeant Phil Reilly, of the Central Office, who has taken no small share in putting down crime, remembers Dunlap and his pals well. In the latter part of 1807 a smart young man was convicted of grand larceny in Hlinols and sent to the penitentiary, Me was handsome and well educated, and because of his ability to swindle people he wascalled “Hustling Bob.” His right namo was Robert Scott. Whilein prison he camo in contact with an old and hardened crim” inal who was known to the police of Europe as well as those of this country. This man was the notorious Tom Reilly or “Scar-faced Tom." He it was who headed the great gang of bank burglars. Taking a fancy to Scott, he met him in Chicago after his term expired and introduced him to Dunlap. Reilly was not a bank robber, but be always declared that he could tell just what line of crime a man was best suited for,and he advised Scott and Dunlap to become partners in the business of bank burglary. Dunlap was young and bright. Ho brought Scott to this city and made him acquainted with one Connors, a promising crook alway# on the lookout for big stakes, .This trio formed the nucleus of tho celebrated band of professional eafe crackers. Soon after they robbed the Falls City Bank in Louisville of . $200,000. _Because—of the shrewdness of the gang tho detectives were baffled, George, Milvs, Edson and others becamo members ‘of the firm of Dunlap & Co., and they robbed right and left. Tho Pitteton (Mass) bank lost $400,000 through the efforts of Dunlap and Scott, and then the great Northampton bank robbery occurred, Arrests followed, and Edson save his. associates away. Connow walked out of Ludlow Street Jail, and has never beeu scen in these parts since. Billy Porter is in Paris living like a sybarite, Red Leary is dead, aud the others have either reformed or gone to parts unknown, Scott and Dunlap were convicted and sent to imprisonment for twenty years each. Scott died of consumption five years ago, and now Dunlap ~ ts about to enter {nto the world again. He is supposed to have hid several bun: dred thousand dollars worth of bonds before he was arrested, and he laugh. ingly informs his keepers that he intends to lead the life of a gentleman when he comes out, Among the other bank robbers who bave found New York too hot for their comfort, aro Frank Buck, alias ‘ Buckey'’ Taylor; Jim Burnes, Dilly Burke, John Curtin, William Coleman, Rufe Minor, Emanuel Marks, slias Minnie Marks; Charles ams, Willirm Robinson, Frank McCoy Marsh, been at the head of the detective force, heard of. They have quietly disappeared. Inspector Byrnes believes that the day of organized professional cracksmen is at an end so far as New York is concerned, Of course there is alwiys danger of a move in that direction by the younger genera tion of crooks, This is attested to by such prominent citizens as the Itev. Dr Howarll B. Crosby and Elbridge T, Gerry. These gentlemen have paid considerablé attention to the subject. The detective force is so conducted that a professional criminul cunnot walkthe streets of thia city for five hours before every member of the force is on the look out for him, !¢ is not that such people aro deterred from committing crime because they have grown better. They are simly watched so closely that they know Fatt well the moment they attempt any “business” they will be arreated. Some gears ago the financial quarter of the city was 80 pony protected! that bank burglars and bank sneaks found it au easy matter to walk off with largesums of cash andsecurities, In ten years, however, not one dollar has been stolen in that quurter by professional criminals, all the robbery that has been done in that time may be laid at the doors of bank cashiers and other attaches of the institutions flveced. ‘The detective bureau in Wall street avd the system in which the quarter is patrolled night and day kes it almost im ible for any one But the trusted ‘officlals of the bauks at banking institutions to do any atenling, It is the sume in other sections of the city. The drygoods district is almost burglar proof. ‘The famous forgers who formerly mada millions of dollars by their skilful penmansbip have either died or ceased operations. A few have ‘gone West, as have some of the bank burglars. A” Very few have reformed. At any rate they do not dare attempt their former means of obtaining wealth inthis city. The. notorious William E. Brockway is the last of the fraternity of professional forgers. Anything done in that line in these days is generally traced to either aclerk ora partuer of the person whose pame is forged, It is.true that the records show that the number of sneak thieves and pickpockets is atill very large, but the Ba vag ta par with whic they are arrested is materially lessening thelr pumber, Several are sent to Sing Sing or tre penitentiary every day. They are for the most part burglars, the smart sneaks and the pickpockets having emigrated tothe West. ~_-* The Length of Human Life, Reasoning from ana!ogy, men onght to live a century, a8 it sevms to be a g-neral law in the aniwal creation that life should be five times the periol required for growth.
