Another 'Bond issue.
Yesterday Secretary Carlisle called
fer a second issue of fifty million more
U. S. Bonds, to runten years at five
per cent. Such action could not have
been taken during the agitation of a
political campaign, but since the elec-
tions are passed, and this obstacle has
been removed from the recovery of
business, a sale of bonds. will supply
just that impulse that Is needed to
quicken the revival that is already
manifest, and byincreasing-the strength
of the Treasury, will thus strengthen
confidence in the stability of our finan-
cial system.
In this country, where the govern.
ment not only supplies, in effect, the
currency used in trade, but is intimate-
ly associated with the whole system of
banking, general credit is to an ex-
tremedegree dependent on the na-
tional credit. This is a most propitious
' time-for such a loan. There are large
accumulations of money in‘the banks
just now, for which the recent indus-
trial conditions have offered no tempt-~
ing‘ investment. These five per cent.
bonds can be readily disposed of.
Their issue will at once give employ-
ment to idle money, and by putting it
into negotiable investments, will con-
tribute'much to quicken the machinery
of trade. On every account, therefore,
this bond issue will be welcome. There
cannot be a doubt of its success, and
the sale of the bonds should give a
stimulus to business by confirming
confidence in the. public credit.
Bury the Wires.
Manager Morris of the Norwalk Tel-
ephone system, assures us that his com-
pany intends in the near future, to put
their wires, now strung on unsightly
poles all over our city, under ground.
This has now become an absolute ne--
cess'ity for the satisfactory working of
their telephone system. ..
The multiplication of electric light
and trolley wires here, causes such in.
duction as to at times render our
“phones” almost useless and quite fre-
quently an exasperatingnuisance. . ~
We note too, that in nearly every
city in Connecticut, the question of
putting all electric wires under ground,
is being agitatedr’as a matter of" safety
to life and property, rather than of
convenience. Several deaths have al-
ready been caused in this state, by
electric light and trolley wires, and
also a number of fires.
or breaking of tree’limbs in a gale and
falling upon and parting these over-
head wires, are the fruitful cause of
accidents that may all be prevented by
a burial of the wires. Our fire alarm
system here in Norwalk, is made prac-
tically useless by their being in such
close contact with the net-works of
these electric wires overspreading the
city. The last two or three fires we have
had, have not been sounded, or sound-
ed erroneously.
The time is surely coming when all
these death and danger dealing neces—
sities of our modern civilization, will
be placed under ground in all .,thickly
settled places. All are agreed upon
the necessity of this protection and
improvement and may the day be has-
tened when this essential safety to our
citizens and their property shall be an
accomplished fact. '

mrssounr TRAIN _BOBBEBY.
Two of Bill Cook's Gang Get a Few Hum
dred Dollars of Express Money.
MONETTE, Mo.,' Nov. 14. —Frlsoo pas-
senger train No. 1 was held up four miles
east of Monetize by two masked men, and
the express car was robbed. The amount
hundred dollars, including all local mon-
ey between Springfield and this place.
The robbers boarded the front end of the
mail car at Verona, and after the train
started they crawled to the engine and
commanded the engineer to run to a cer-
tain point and stop.
After firing a pistol they got 011 the en-
gine and compelled the engineer to fol-
low them. Mistaking the mall car for the
express car, they demanded admittance
of the clerks, but on being informed of
their error they proceeded to the express
car.
~ By this time Messenger Chapman had
his gun in readiness and was about to
fire when Engineer Stevenson ordered
him to desist, as he was in front of the
robbers. The robbers then compelled
Chapman to give up the keys. The local
safe was opened and rifled of its contents.
They then demanded that Chapman open
the large safe, and onbeing informed that
it was impossible for him to do so, they
brandished a stick of dynamite and threaté
-ened to blow up the car. The messenger
finally prevailed upon them not to attempt
it, convincing them that even if they did
so it was not probable that the safe would
be blown open.
After securing their booty the robbers
started westward. - No horses were seen,
although it is quite certain they had ani-
mals at a convenient distance. The only
disguise worn was a white handkerchief
over the face with holes out for the eyes.
One robber was a large man, the other
small. The passengers were not disturb-
ed.
Messenger Chapman succeeded in bid-
ing all the money save $200 in currency,
which he handed over to the robbers. A
posse was formed, but for want of a lead-
er failed to pursue the bandits, who are
supposed to be a part of Bill Cook’s noto-
rious gang.

BROOKLYN, Nov. 14.—Rsv. Frederick
Brooklyn, who lives at 367 Greene avenue,
sad a desperate encounter with an armed
burglar in the“ dark at 1 o’clock this
morning.
The desperado stabbed him in the right
irm. and tho clergyman retaliated by
landing a bullet somewhere into the bur-
;lar’s body.
During the excitement that followad
the thief escaped, with $7 of the clergy-
.nan’s money. . ,
Mr. Seeker-son is a son of Rev. R. S.
Seckerson, commander cf Moses F. Odell
post, G. A. R. He has been connected
with the Clinton Avenue Congregational
church for about a year. When his family
gave up housekeeping a few weeks ago,
he went to live at the home of a friend,
5‘. C. Myles, on Greene avenue.
The minister is only 21 years old, but
ls robust and is considered quite an ath-
lete. His daily exercise with dumbbells‘
and Indian clubs has put him in fit con-
dition for such an encounter as ho had
this morning. He is fond of study and
frequently reads until after midnight.
Mr. Se'ckerson occupies the back parlor.
' A Fortunate Cat Yowl.
Several nights ago he was disturbed by
the wailing of a cat which sat directly
under his Window and kept up screeching
until he became so nervous that he was
unable to continue his work. He secured
a revolver and sent a bullet in the direc-
reading. The revolver lay around his
room until last night, when one of the
female members of the household advised
him to put it away. “I’ll just reload it
and lay it here on a table,” he sold. “and
if burglars call I’ll be prepared. I'll put
the pistol away in the morning.” '
He did not then suspect that he would
so soon be called upon to use It.
He retired shortly after 11 o‘clock, after
opening a Window a couple of inches at.
the top, and soon fell asleep. Two hours
later he was startled by the noise of a.
window shade rolling up, and upon sit-
ting up he saw that the bottom of the
window was Wide open.
Visions of burglars darted through his
mind, and grasping his revolver he jump-
.ed up.” He walked across the room to
within a couple of feet of the'window.
Then he turned and saw a man crouching
against a chair, close to the floor.
A Fight. For Life.
“What do you want here?” he demand-
ed. . ‘
Seckerson raised his weapon to fire.
The burglar, without uttering a'word,
jumped forward. and as he was about to
pull the trigger of the revolver a knife
gleamcd, and he received a stinging blow
on the rightiorm. ~ ' ‘ ~ * - ‘
The thief attempted to grapple with
him, but Seokerson sprang away, and be-
fore his antagonist could close in upon
him, he fired. The burglar uttered a cry
of pain. Seckerson attempted to capture
him, but the fellow threw him off, and,
darting through the Window, escaped.
The clergyman saw him . going along
the fence toward a vacant lot in the rear,
which fronts on Lexington avenue;
He sent another bullet after the fugi-
tive, but it missed. .
Meanwhile the wound in his arm he-
gan to hurt him, and he grew weak from
loss of blood. The other occupants of the
house had been aroused by the shots, and
they hurried down stairs to the minister’s
apartments. They found him tying up
his wound and trying to stop the flow of
blood. As soon as he could be dressed
he was taken to a doctor’s office a few
blocks away, where he received proper
treatment.
Policeman Finn of the De Kalb avenue
station met Mr. Seokerson while on his
way to the doctor’s. He telephoned to
the station house, and in ten minutes
Captain Eason, Detectives Delehanty and
vpatorl wagon and searched the yards and
doorways in the vicinity. The burglar,
however, had escaped.
The Minister's \Vonnd Not Dangerous.
Today the star detectives of the Brook-
lyn police department are at work on the
case under the personal direction of In-
spector MacKellar.
Mr. Seckerson was absent when a rc~
porter called. It was said, however, that
his wound was not considered to be dan-
gerous. The blade penetrated the mus-
cles of the arm just above the elbow. It
is dragged wound, about 2% inches in
length and three-quarters of an inch deep.
The detectives had very little to work
upon. They found the knife; a brand
new affair of the bowie pattern, and a
trail of blood leading from the window,
along the fence, half way down to the
end of the yard,~ where it stops, and there
is nothing to indicate which way the but-
glar went. Mr. Seckerson describes his
visitor as about 5 foot 8 inches in height,
smooth face. He wore a dark soft hat.
