"Of course ; but t icir winnings were so large and continuous that the losings cut. scarcely any figure in the game." “I know of one losing you don’t seem to recall.” chimed in the ex city oliicial "What was thâ€"t," all asked. “You know that Dowling and McDon- ald had a game ovcr the way from their roost, and one day Jack Bathelor took an hour off and went. out to stretch his logs.

Continuing, the speaker said he never saw Dowling flinch in his life. “One night George Cruinmey visited his room on Madison strut-t and was playing 8400 open. Dowling came in during the name and took the chair. Pretty soon (,‘rummey called hold, and asked John if he would turn for $1,000. John told him he would. Then Cruinmcy pulled out a Sl,000 note and plaCed it. on the card. but before the turn was made bantered Dowling to allow him to press the bet $2,500 ‘Go ahead,’ replied the latter. but just- ss Dowling was about to draw the card from the box, Crumniey’s sand gave out, and he ‘ pinchod’the but off the bible. The turn was made, and revealed the fact that Cruminey would have won." “Didn't Cruiiimey make a big winning here some time ago i" asked the Herald man, “Yes. Along in 1875 he commenced on $12, I believe, and after playing for two or three days on Randolph and Clark streets pulled out. between $25,000 and $30,000. He lost. it all.

Then there was George Lostir. known all over as ‘Engiish George.’ He went in to ‘2 Theatre alley one afternoon in the summer of1876 and reduced the bank capital to the amount of $18,000. He’s the luckiest man in the business, though. and has made many a big win- ning oil‘ of a shoestring." “Didn't I’st Sheedy go broke here once i" “lcaii't say he ever went broke, but he dropped $40,000 st125 Clark street.

The thieves devoted a great deal of time to the express company s safe, but, fail- ing to open it, they decided that in would be a go id idea to go through the train and make sure of something, at any rate. Armed with an ordinary flour such, they were ushered into the cars by a man with a big Voice. and astheyextracted watches, rings. chains, and money they placed them indiscriminately in the bag. When the last. man in the last. car had been vxsited, three-quarters of an hour had elapsed from the time when the train had been side-tracked, and during that period not one of the seventy-five passengers had s'in‘cd from their seats. Some of them mere almost. helpless with fright, and many others were in :\ dazed condition and did not appear to appriciate fully all that was going on. linvmggone through the train, the robbers rcturied to the baggage car, warning the inmates of each coich that they must. keep their hands up. Thus they left. them, firing a few silola in the air to terrify them still fur- thor. After the robbers had been gone some little time the express messenger crawled cut and explored. He found the pas- sengers still sitting like wax figures with their hands up, and as he entered the cars the people started as if fearful that their hands wine not high enough. He remarked to thcm that they might as well put down their hands and make them- selves comfortable; the desperadoes had gone. In the course of timethe trainmen got the cars back on the main track, and the run intotlie city was made slowly. Caused intense excitement,and everybody who had been present was made a hero of immediately. Allhad stories of the most. thrilling descripticn to tell. According to the narrative of some of the victims the robbery was the work of a regiment of desperadoos just from the plains, all armed to the teeth, and in every case is was money or life. The unexpected succoss of the author- ities in promptly running down the thieves put a good many of the victims in an awkward predicament. Three of me robbers were found right here in town, and, according to the confession of one of them, the robbery was the work of thiee men and a boy, none cf them vury well armed, with no previous ex- perience in the business and no well can certcd plan of action. They went about their busiin as as if it was perfectly legiti- mate, and had no fear of resistance, and were pleased to notice that. none was offered. ’I‘hey countel on scaring the people lialf to death and were not. disap- pointed. Cook, the one who makes the confess- ion, says the whole thing was arranged and carried out in less than a week's time, and, though he appreciates the gravity of the situation, he nukes merry over the foolish fears of the passengers. “Why,” said be, “there wasn't a man from the engineer to the rear brakcnnui that you couldn't have km cked down With a feather, and half of them had shouting irons, ton.

Not long ago we heard a clergyman re- late this story : The deceased had been a young man and a wild one at that. He died as the result of n spree. Still he had many redeeming qualities. He was a nobleosouled, big-hearted fellow, who would do anything for a friend, and who was generally popular, despite his fail- ing. The church was crowded to hear what the clergyman wculd have to say. His numerous friends even threatened an unpleasant demonstration if a lack of liberalitv led the minister into very pro- nouncedly “improving the occasion." There was an expectant hush as the min- ister announced his text : “Died Abner as the fool dieth’i" The sermon was a tribute, eloquentand evidently cincsre, to the character of the deceased. His generous nature was ex- patistod upon at lengthâ€"and then the clcvgymansimplyrepented histext: “Died Alner at the fool dieth?" His goodness in a brother, son and friend were done full justice toâ€"and in conclusion the clergy inen again said over the text: “Died Abner as the fool dieth?" His public spirit, the gap his removal made the com- munin were not omittedâ€"only to close with the inevitable words of the text: “D.od Abner as the fool dieth?" The mourners tiled out. One of the “boys” nudged another and liquired what he - thought of the sermon : “The sermon," the other answered: “the s;i'.iimi was first-rate; but what a text 3" The Savings Bank Insignia.
