CovrgyviLLB, Kan,, November 12.
Two of the Cook gang plundered the
town of Lenapah, I. T., and left a bloody
trail behind them to-day. They entered
the town in the character of bold ban
dits without any attempt at conceal
ment, and terrorized the citizens until
they had carried out their plan of rob
bery. E. E. Mellon, a brave young man
who attempted to stop them with his
gun while they were riding away, was
shot and killed. Another man, whose
name cannot be learned, is said to have
lieen seriously wounded. Both of the
victims were with a small force of citi
zens, who hastily armed themselves and
attempted to prevent the escape of the
bandits. Ihe robbers were mounted on
fast horses, and were heavily armed.
Some of the citizens claim to have recog
nized them as Uherokee Bui and Jim
French, well known as Lieutenants of
Bill Uook, the leader ol the gang. The
robbers held np the proprietors of two
stores, and looted both places. They
also robbed the poBtoflice. John Shuf-
leldt, the proprietor ol one store, lost
fiuuin money ana a gold watch. Mr.
Shufleldt proclaimed his loss to the town
before the robbers -had finished their
work, and the band of citizens was al
most between them and their horses
when the robbers were ready to mount.
An effort was mode to stop them, but
they were on Horseback with drawn DlS'
tols and were flying awav before their
would-be captors could make a concen
trated move. A report savs the bandits
are headed for Perryville, which is only
fifteen miles from Lenapah. That place
is the scene ot many tragic robberies.
and the police with volunteers are pre
pared to meet them in the same way
they met the ualtons two years ago,
when the entire band was wiped out.

ISrotherhood Hen Denied.
Philadelphia, November 11. The
controversy between the receivers of
the Heading Company and such em
ployes as are members of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen has prompted
an expression of opinion from Attorney'
General Olney in the form of a letter to
Judge Dallas of the United States Cir
cult Court, before whom the case is
pending. The difficulty between th
two organizations reached a crisis Au
gust 15 last, when General Superintend
ent Sweigard summoned before him
eleven employes and notified them to
disband as a condition of retaining thei
places. Various protests were made
against this alternative, and the brother
hood urged the receivers to withdraw it,
but in answer the receivers September
17 answered :
"The Dollcvof this com Dan v Is well
known to be that it will not consent that
persons in its service shall owe allegi
ance to other organizations which may
make claims upon them which are in
compatible with their duties to their
employers. This position was taken ad
visedly, and we have no intention of de
parting Irom it."
Attornev-General Olnev's letter is an
exhaustive discussion of the questions
presented, and he reviews the various
problems and the consistent solutions to
be applied in every respect. In substance
lie holds that labor unorganized is prac
tically powerless : that in combination
such as this, lies the only safeguard of
the workman in his dealings with organ
ized capital, and tliut his right to belong
to Buch a nnion beneficial in intent and
purpose is a legal right of which he
cannot be deprived.

Extracte Taken From the Reporta of the
first and Seoond Aaalatant Poatinaa-tera-Uoneral
Keooniniendatlona for
Improvement of the Service.
Washington, November 13. First As
Bistant PoBtmaBter-Ueneral Frank Jones
has submitted his annual report to the
Postmaster-General. It is a review of
the work in the department under his
churge for the year ended June 30, 18:14,
and contains his recommendations for
improvement of the service. Mr. Jones
recommends legislation to protect the
post-marking stamp in use at postofflces,
as the stamp is now being used for tin'
lawful purposes. He reviews his recom
mendations for legislation to prevent the
boycotting of postmasters by mailing of
letters at places other than the office,
which results In reducing the salaries of
the postmasters boycotted. He calls
especial attention to the' misuse of the
franking privilege. lie says:
" There seems to be some misappre
hension among members of Congress as
to the scope of the franking privilege,
which lias resulted in some postmasters
declining to send speeches or other
matter presented for mailing. This de
partment has been called upon to give
xpecial instructions in such matters.
Instead of the name being written or
placed on the envelope by tiie hand
stamp it has been in some instances im
properly printed thereon ; the speeches
therein contained have borne advertise
ments of the printer, which formed no
part of the congressional record, and
therefore are subject to postage as third
class matter. In addition to this some
of the packages Bent bv mail under the
frank of the member have been found
after delivery to contain printed matter I
. . : 1 - - . 1 . 1 1 1 1
uuieiue ui me cuii grass luuai recuru arju
public documents and therefore not
frankable nnder the laws above Quoted
The literature being sent under seal, the
department is of course unable to detect
every violation. There is no penalty at
tached to the misuse of the franking
privilege; hence no action ran be taken
by me further than to call the attention
of the member to the matter.- As this
department is required to carry without
one cent of revenue hundreds of tons of
franked matter, additional limitations
should be placed on the use of the frank
or a penalty of some kind imposed for
its unlawful use, and I respectfully sug
gest that the attention of Congress be
called to this matter for such action as
it chould deem proper."
Mr. Jones recommends legislation al
lowing the suspension without pay, not
to exceed ten days, of empioves violating
the postal rules ; aim that disabled em
ployes may be granted leaves of absence
with continued pay; also some changes
in the classifications of salaries which
were heretofore commended. The report

Boston, Mass., November 10. Mike
Kelly, the baseball player, died here to

came here Monday morning to join the
London Gayety Girls' Theatrical Com
pany, and was taken sick that morning
with pneumonia. He rallied Monday
evening, bnt since then has been falling
until death came to-night.
Mike Kelly was undoubtedly the best
known ball player In the country. He
was a native of Paterson, N. J., and first
came into prominence when he was the
receiving end ol Chicago's famous "Jer
sey battery." Jim McCormick was the
pitcher. After McCormick retired Kelly
caught John Clarkson, and was later
sold to Boston for $10,000. Clarkson
brought the same figure, and the two
became Known as .Boston's "twenty-thousand-dollar
battery." After Kelly
secured his release from Boston he went
to New York, and from there to Allen
town in the Pennsylvania State League.
Toward the last of the season he trans
ferred his club to Yonkers, and finished
last season in the Eastern League. Sev
eral years ago Kelly developed into a
song-and-dance artist, and during the
winter months appeared in the large
Eastern cities. It was his reputation as
a ball player rather than his ability as
an olio performer that made him a draw
ing card. Kelly led the National
League in batting in 1886 with a percent
age of .388.

Washington, November 12. Briga
dier-General Alexander McDowell Mc-

of the United States army, vice General

Forsyth of the Seventh Cavalry has been
promoted to Brigadier-General, to sue
ceed McCook. General McCook has been

the President's selection is promoted

omen win nave a cbance to reach the
highest grade now in the service.
The race for the Dlace vacated bv Ma-
lor-General Howard's retirement was
between General McCook and General
Ruger, the latter commanding the de
partment of California. The former was
peculiarly fortunate in receiving the ap
pointment over General Ruirer. who
stanife at the head of the list of Briga-
dier-fcenerals, because he would other
wise retire in a few months with the
rank bf Brigadier-General. As it is, Gen
eral Ruber's promotion will probably
only be delayed a short time. Colonel
James ForBVth. who will become a Krica-
dier-General, is one of the most distin-
f;uisbed cavalry officers in the army and
ias behind him a notable record of serv
ice in the Indian campaigns. At present
he is Colonel of the Seventh Cavalry and

Cook will transfer his command to New
York, succeeding Maior-General How

the East. In the natural order General
Forsyth would take his command as

Chicago, November 10. Another ef

continental Passenger Association, and
the meeting for that purpose may be
held In Chicago November 16, although
the dcte is not certain. The Southern
Pacific is, as before, the principal mover
in the scheme, and it is understood that
it will make considerable concessions to
the direct California lines to Induce
them to enter the association. These
concessions must be of a verv tangible
sort to induce Atchison and To' nek a into
any plan for the reorganization of the
association. This road is not at the
present time in a position to enter anv
association obligations, nor will it be
until the present troubles between the
stockholders are adjusted. The Union
Pacifio took objections, and they will
take some time to remove. Altogether
the prospects for the revival of the as
sociation are not brighter than at the
time when the Southern Pacific tried to
warm it into life two months ago.

Important Decision Made In the
State of Michigan.
AFFECTS METHOD OF VOTING
The Supreme Court of That Stat Holds
That One Mark la Sufficient, and That
a Second Dlstlngulehlng One Is II
legal Under the Law.
Lamsino, Mich., November 10. The
Supreme Court to-day banded down a
most important decision affecting the
present method of voting. On the ques
tion of what constitutes a distinguishing
mark on a ballot, which mark is pro
hibited by law, the court unanimously
held that any mark other than the tin
gle one appropriate to designate the in
tention of a voter is a distinguishing
mark. The case was brought in the con'
testing of the rights to office of two local
candidates at Bay City, who were osten
siDiy eiectea at a spring election a year
and a half ago. By the decision both
are ousted from office. The effect of
this decision will be far-reaching.
The court holds that if. two tickets
on an official ballot are identical, the
marking of a cross over each is illegal.
Also that to mark a cross over any ticket
and then before each name on such ticket
or placing a cross before the name of a
candidate and then erasing the name of
his opponent on another ticket is illegal.
In substance the ODinion holds that a
single marie in a vote la sufficient to in

Waa the Cauae.
San Bebnabdino, Cal., November 11.

closed its doors shortly after 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. The bank has been
in a safe condition for ordinary business,
but a quiet run was organized that went
on all Friday. Nothing was thought of
it, but on opening yesterday morning a
rush commenced, and Cashier Kohl
closed the doors and posted a notice to
protect all depositors. The bank was
doing the largest business in the city,
ft is understood the cause of the failure
originated in personal quarrels among
the officers of the bank. President Jo
seph Brown, when interviewed, stated
that tne bank would not resume busi
ness, but would go into liquidation. The
securities of the bank and its assets are
sufficient to pay all depositors in full and
leave something to be distributed among
the stockholders. The banV has a paid-
up capital ol 1100,000, and when closed
had deports of about $200,000. Other
banks in the citv are not in the least af
fected by the failure of the First Na

pel the Kaiser's illusion that a modern
