Odell, Ills., July 21. —-William Van Buskirk, cashier of the McWilliams bank, saved the bank' 5 cash from a pair of hold ups, and, after chasing the two thieves out of town on a bicycle, cap- tured them by the aid of some energetic citizens and locked them up. The would be robbers, who afterward gave their names as Frank W. Jackson and Harry Howard of New York, came into the bank when there was no one about but the cashier. Dropping a pair of 1evolvers on him, they grufliy o1der- ed him to hold up his hands. Instead of obeying, the adrolt cashier disappea1ed behind the counter like a jack- --in the- box. The first intimation the robbe1s had of his exact location was when, six sec- onds later, a lusty brace of six shooters appeared over the bulwark of mahog- any, and the cashier opened fire in a general direction, advising his visitors at the same time to “chase themselves." The thieves accepted the invitation with alacrity, but they had no sooner cleared the building than Van Buskirk was after them, shaking the loads out of his six shooters like balls out of a ro- man candle. The population of Odell unanimously appeared on the streets, and, headed by the bank cashier on a bicycle, sco1ch- ed down the main st1eet after the flee- ing robbers. The thieves had a buggy in charge of a small boy waiting on the edge of the town, and they made a swift start down the road as the pursuing crowd of cy- clists and riders hove in sight around the corner. One robber stood up in the buggy and “pumped lead” at the posse, while the other encouraged the horse. The wheelmen were too swift for the stable,hack, and the robbers were soon forced to abandon their rig and take refuge in a cornfield. Here they were surrounded and captured after a short, sharp fight, in which several shots were exchanged. No casualties were occasioned beyond one bicycle tire being punctured by a bullet. It is supposed the robbers are the same who made two attempts to wreck the Wabash pay car between Fairbury and Forest last Saturday. DEATH OF JEAN INGELOW.

A HALL or SUICIDES. PRECAUTIONS TAKEN WITH THOSE WHO HAVE SUICIDAL MANIA. Blomniugdale has a Corridor Especially for Guests of this Character. Care of‘ the Inmates, a. great Strain on the Attendants. In the Bloomingdale asylum at White Plains there is a ward, 01' ball, as it is called, in both the male and female divisions, set apart especially for the safekeeping of patients at flicted with suicidal mania. Not a movement of the patients confined there goes unobserved. At” 1 o clock in the morning they are obliged to vacate their rooms in a body, and the doors are locked behind them, while they dress in the coriidor outside. ' They then repair to the wash room in companies of three or four, accompanied by an attendant, who keeps them under surveillance. The meals are served in a light and airy dining room overlooking the asy- lum grounds. As the patients pass through the door and take thr 11 seats at the tables they are counted, and if one is found missing an immediate 'ch is begun. They have the same food that is provided for every other hall in the asylum, but are deprived of many articles of table service. Knives and forks are never seen in this hall. The patients are obliged to eat with spoons. Glassware is also pro— hibited, and they drink from heavy china cups. While eating they am watched by attendants, whose duty it is to see that they do not take away anything from the table when the meals are over. In order to be doubly sure of this every spoon and piece of crockery is counted before and after each meal. Between meals these arti- cles are kept under lock and key. About an hour a ter breakfast and dinner the patients are taken f01 their daily exercise in the asylum g1ounds, accompanied by attendants. During these walks they have to be most care- fully watched, in order to prevent them f1om picking up any aiticle which might be used to commit sui- hall. On one occasion a man who was known to have made several attempts at self—destruction before being sent to the asylum, came very near eluding the vigilance of his keepers. While walking with the other patients in the grounds his eye chanced to light upon the path. He was cunning enough to know that if he stopped to pick it up, he would be observed; so he feigned to stumble, and fell in a heap on the ground, securing the coveted article and seeieting it in his pocket. I-Ils 11c- nately aroused the suspicious of the attendant. He was searched and the glass was found. ' ' From the moment they lay their heads on the pillows until it is time to rise in the morning, two attendants, one at each end of the hall, watch them. If one should move in bed in a manner to excite the suspicion of the watchers they are at his bedside in a moment to see what he is about. The strain placed upon the attendants in the hall of suicides is so great that some of them are unable to Stand it for more than a fe3v.w%eeks at a time. Then they ask for a transfer to an- other hali, or else resign—New York Sun. They Were All Twins. The tramp who “lost everything in the Mississippi floods” is now abroad in the land. One of them approached a 111. nevolcnt old gentleman in Atlanta Sun lay. “And you say,” said the old gentleman, “that your children were drowned in the flood?” “lies, sir,” re- plied the tram-p, wiping his eyes with his coat sleeve; “seventeen of ’em, sir!” “God bless me!” exclaimed the old gentleman, “you are a young man, scarcely 30, and— “I-know it, sir,” interrupted the weeping tramp, “but I T H E EVEN IN C. c.
