An Attempt to Rob a Bank.
Frustrated by Officers.
Brownsville, Sept. 27.—The
Steam boat, John Scott, with
the balance of her cargo, return-
ed safe to the American side last
night. The owners of the prop-
erty seized by tlie revolutionist
are negotiating for raiisorn.
It is reported that the federals
askeu Cortina for arms and mu-
nition. Cortina declined to fur-
nish them, and in turn dictated
terms of surrender, which were
also declined, and the revolu-
tionists closed their lines nearer
to the fortifications of Matamo
ITS.
The Cherohees Object to the
teibux Removal to Their
Territory-
Yinita. I, T., Sept. 27.—The
Cherokee and other civilized In-
dians of this Territory are
greatly excited fiver the pro-
posed removal of the Sioux into
this country. They say the gov-
ernment is again proposing to
violate the treaty stipulations
by removing rhese Indians to
their country without their con
sent. They characterize the ac
tiou ot the comm ssion in agree
ing to give the Sioux homes in
the territory of the Oklamaha
as being similar to the one made
by^Satan on the mountain-,
eighteen hundred years ago.
There will be a united and sol-
emn protest against the eon sum
matron of this alleged outrage
against the rights of the civilized
as well as the Sioux Indians.

Belgrade, Sept. 27.--At the
council of ministers held yester-
day,- over which Prince Milan
presided, it was unanimously
agreed to accept the conditions
of peace recently elaborated by
the powers and the Ports. The
council also resolved that Ser-
via should not submit, except in
the event of foreign o6'cupafion,
and to fight until the independ-
ence of Servia and Bosnia was
secured. The Servians yester-
day burned two bridges, which
had been thrown over the Mora-
via by the Turks. There were
also some engagements between
the outposts of the Servians and
the Turks’.

ed, states that in the engag-e-
1 meut on the 2nd inst. at Las
i Chaneo, in Canac, between the

Pittsburg-, Sept. 2G.—An at-
tempt was made to rob the Sec-
ond National bank of this city
this evening, by three men, as
yet unk n o wn. W hen the watch-
man, Samuel Lewis, called at
the bank about nine o’clock, he
was seized, gagged, hand-culled
and placed in a rear room on a
bed. A short time after, a young
brother of the watchman came
to the bank by Appointment,
having arranged to spend the
night there. His coming alarm-
ed the burglars,, aud they es-
caped by leaping outside of the
window. The alarm was imme-
diately given and the men pur-
sued, Lieutenant Cronin, of the
police, encountered them, when
they fired upon him, wounding
him seriously in two places.
The men then crossed the riv-
er to Alleghany City, and the
police kept in hot pursuit, but
failed to capture them. It ap-
pears that the entrance was
gained to the bank by cutting
through the hallway partition
early in the evening, and prepa-
rations had been made to go to
work on the safe after disposing
of the watchman, whose arrival
they seemed to have awaited.
Philadelphia, Sept. 2G.—
The Centennial Commission are
in executive session to-day, ex-
amining the last list of awards.
Bain fell heavily here during
the early pdrt of the day, but
this afternoon is clear and pleas
ant. Notwithstanding the bad
weather of this morning, the at-
tendance at the exposition is
very largo. The utmost interest
is taken by all classes In prepa-
rations for Pennsylvania day,
Thursday, and the indications
are that the crowds in attend-
ance at the exposition will far
surpass those of any other day.
The day will be generally ob-
served as a- holiday, business
places will close, uewspipers

The largest political meeting
ever held in Chicago assembled
at Market Square, on Tuesday
night. Speeches were made by
Bayard and McDonald, ex-Sena-
tor Doolittle, General Earns
worth, and a number of other
prominent Democrats, The
square was densely packed and
speeches were made from three
separate stands. The whole
street was brightly illuminated
by calcium lights. The torch-
lights numbered soine eighteen
hundred, every Democratic ward
club in the city being represent-
ed, but no regular procession
was formed. The speakers Com-
manded respectful attention, and
were often heartily applauded.

Russian Consul Kicks.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 27.—
The Russian Consul at Belgrade
has been instructed to declare
that Russia- can in no case sup-
port the proclamation of Prince
Milan as King.
He Wouldn’t Lie for a Mule.
“Speaking abbuf mules,” re-
marked a six-footer from Har-
nett county, as he cracked his
whip at the market yesterday
morning, “I have got a mule at
home that knows as much as I
do, and I want to hear somebody
say that I’m half fool.”
Nobody said so, and he went
on.
“I’ve stood around here and
, , heard me# blow about kicking

This morning the body of an i,,g’ 1 waut to b(!t, on mn,e-
unknown man, supposed to be a
tramp, was found on the Read-
ing railroad, near the Columbia
bridge. The man was quite dead,
was covered with blood and bore
knife wounds aud ether marks
of violence, that left no'doubt
but what he had been murdered.
The deceased was a young man
of apparently about twenty-
three years of age. Three
tramps are in custody on suspi-
cion of being implicated in the
murder, but there seems to be
little evidence' against them.
—A gentleman told us a cir-
cumstance to-day, from which
many might profit. In the ear-
ly days of Texas, among others,
a gentleman emigrated here and
embarked in cattle raising, and
among the first stock here was a
motherless calf, which lie gave
to his daughter then five year#
old. That daughter was mar
ried’in fifteen years, and he cat-
tle numbered two hundred and
fifty head. Just think of it; be-
come rich without an effort.—

A preacher came along and took
dinner with me the other day; as
he seemed a little down-hearted,
I took him out to see Thomas1
Jefferson, my champion mule.
I was telling the good mau how
the mule would flop his hind
feet around, and he said he’d
like to see a little fun. He’d
passed his whole life in the
South, but had never seen a mule
lay his soul into a big time kick-
ing.”
“Well,” he continued, after
borrowing some tobacco, “I took
Thomas out of the stable, back-
ed him up agin a hill, gin him a
cuff on the ear, and we stood
back to see the amusement. It
was a good place to kick his
darnedest,- and vTbat d’ye ’spose
he did? In ten minutes by thd
watch he was out of sight. In
five more we couldn’t feel him
with a twelve foot pole, and—•
and—”
The crowd began to' yell and
cheer, and the old man looked
around and added:
“Does anybody think I’m ly-
ing ? Would I lie for one mule?”
