A Leading Democratic Journal AsksHim to Step Into Private

Life.

Louisville, Kw, April16.— The Post(Democrat) commenting on the downfallof Colonel Breckinridge says: "Itis not astory to which the people of Kentucky canbe in the least indifferent. His name hasbeen an lonored one in the annals of Ken-tucky. Men who have borne Itin everyperiod of its history have borne itproudlyand nave rendered signal service to theState and to the people.

"With his confession still on his lips,

with the plea of Colonel Thompson arous-ing indignant protest in the heart of every

honest man, Colonel Breckinridce pro-poses to return to Kentucky »nd ask thepeople of his district to return him to Con-gress. He owes some consideration to thefriends who bare been true to him; to hisdistrict which has honored him; to theparty which has needed and called 10 him.

The one service he can now render to allthese, the one recompense it Is in hispower to offer, is to accept ihe verdict ofthe Washington jury as a verdict of eter-nal banishment from the public serviceand act accordingly. He should retire nowand leave the Democrats of the Ashlanddistrict free to choose a representative

who will bring new and better influenceinto politics. They should go to someman of worth and character in private sta-

tion whose career ha§ exhibited those vir-tues and devotions on which Anglo-Saxoncivilization rest?, and s«nd him to Wash-ington a*Kentucky's reply to the accusa-tions hroueht against her own son."

Brighton wrote Marshal Gard that hewould send a letter to SbuJter, who wasthen in this city,and if the effifers wouldwatch the postrfliee closely on the daymei'tinneri by Brighton they could see theman whom Bnehton knew to be Impli-cated in the first robbery at Rnacoe.

An ifficer was delegated to k*ep watchon the postoffice, and inn vigil was re-warded by Shultcr, who called for theBrighton letter, and wag shadowed tliere-af er.

The robbery of the house, for whichShulter was sent-nced to-day occurred afew days later.

DARING HOLD=UP

Of the Angels Camp andMilton Stage.

ONE MAN DID THE JOB.

Wells, Fargo & Co.'s TreasureBox Broken Open.

AND ALL THE MONEY TAKEN.

Express Officials in This City Saythe Amount Secured Was

Very small.

Miltox,April16.—The stage from An-gels to this placu was stopped by a singlehighwayman this morning about threemiles this side of Altaville,near the Cros-sett ranch.

He cut the band of the iron stage safe ofWelly-Fargo &Co.'s Express, and brokethe lid witii a cold chisel, securing twosacks of sliver coin estimated to containabout $2000.

The passengers were all stood up in linewith their backs to the stage, but were notmolested.

One of them would try to look arounduntil the robler threatened to blow hishead off; then he attended to business.

The other passengers were all fright-

ened, fearing bis foolishness would getthem into trouble.

The robber worked very coolly andseemed to be well acquainted with thenames of parties and locations, as be tolaFred Wesson, the driver, to tell the agentat Milton that he had iaken the sliver andto have tne box fixed at his expense.

Jupt as the stage was leaving he said,"Fred, Iwiil see you in Angels in a dayor -o and we will take a driuK on this."

The officers have a good description ofthe robber and are on his trail. Itis gen-erally believed that there was more thanone man in this robbery, and that the manwho did the work is one of the lame menwho were in the holdup of March 7.

At the offices of the Well?-Fareo Com-pany in this city but little infor-mation was obtainable last evening inaddition to that contained in the fore-going dispatch. Itwas learned, however,

that the amount secured by the robber wastr fling, as the superintendent of the com-pany stated that a rule is rigidlyenforced'.n at not over $300 at the outside limitshallbe placed in one of the iron Doxes forshipment unless a guard accompanies it.As there was no guard on the atage this istaken as satisfactory evidence by tbeofficials that the logs is small.

POLICE CHANGES.

Clerk Hall and Four Offi-cers Dismissed.

The Only Reason Given Is TheyWere Not Wanted

—Captain

There was a bigsurprise in police circlesafter the meeting of (be Commissionerstdjnuined. For about an hour prior toihe adjournment the board was In execu-tive session, and then Chiei Crowley madeho important announcement.

He said the boaid had dismissed ClerkW. E. Hall from the depatt'iient. and thet blowingpatrolmen :William J. Shi«ld«,Patrick J. Jones, George Rtismg and W.A.

Among me changes were the transfer ofCaptain Dimleavy from the harbordistnctto the southern distrt. t during the absence

\u25a0if Captain Stone through illness and theappointment of Sergeant Helms to taketemporary charge ,ofithe harbor district.Sergeant Mahony was appointed In thenight patrol, vice Helms.

The charge against Policeman ErnestBode tor nrglect of duty was dismissed,

\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0(I Policeman Thomas liourke was linedHO on a similar charge.

The most astonishing piece of news wasthedismMal of Clerk Hall. The Chief saidnil the dismissals were made on his m\u25a0 \u25a0-

tion.' On being pressed togive reasons fortils recommendation ic would say: "Wedon't want <h»»m. That is the only reasonIwillgive.": Hh« as reminded that thedischarged offi ers should have the rightHi knowing what hud ;led to their sum-mary dismissal, but he only said the boardacted with.n their rights in dropping themfrom the roll as had been done, in numerousinstances before. ;.. : /

\u25a0Itis conceded ;that there must be some-thing radically. wrong or a man like ClerkHall, who has held such a responsibleI'Osiiion for several years, or a patrolman

like \V. J. Shields, who was specially com-plimented In the presence of tue watch atthe (Vntr \u25a0! police station for his pluck incapturing the murderer Fredericks, wouldnot be accorded -ucb summary treatment.

"Can you ninif of any reason whyyoushould be disuiUaeti?"B'Mdon't kin.w," he replied, "unless it» as because 1 have been lo the habit ofexpressing nity opinions too strongly in re-gard tn certain point*.

"•'What were these points?""That Idecline to say at present. I

'will cure, per-

fectly and permanently, the worstcase of Chronic Catarrh in the

but all the troubles that come fromit, and every thing catarrhal in itsnature, are cured by the mild,sooth-ing, cleansing and healing propertiesof their remedy. . :, They can'tisay any more. Prob-ably every medicine for *: Catarrhclaims as much. But it's one thingto promise a cure

—it's a very differ-

ent thing to perform it. :The propri-etors of Dr. Sage's Remedy want toprove that they mean what they say.So they make this offer: If theycan't cure your Catarrh, no matterhow bad your case or of how longstanding, they'll pay you $500 incash.
