Two daring train robberies were committed in Russian Poland Saturday, one of them resulting in a considerable loss of life. A train from the frontier station Herby, bound for Czenstoohowa, was carrying money received from the customs house to the branch of the Imperial bank under protection of srven frontier guardsmen. General Zjkat, ohlef of the frontier guard, General Weitenrlng, chief of the customs service of Warsaw, Col. Bzezlokl and Captain LaGuma were passengers. Fifteen perr' > sons boarded tbe train at a way station. They evidently had been waiting for it and made an attack on the , guardsmen, who were reinforced by ! the officers named. A regular skirmish followed in which the two generals, two officials, five soldiers and one robber were killed and Col. Bzez ickl and one robber wounded. All the wounded and dead were taken to Czenstoohowa. The robbers escaped, taking $3,000 and the arms of those who had attempted to defend the train against robbery. Deadly Stroke.

A few years ago & certain capable lawyer living in a well known Georgia town, might well have been selected as the one citizen most likely to distinguish himself and retkct honor upon his community. He was thirty tive years of age, happily married, and modestly boasted that he did not know the teste of whiskey nor tobacco. He owned his he me, and some good farms, made a good income from his practice, published a county paper, and discharged evidently the duties of county school commissioner. lUv ing b'-en a member of the State Sen Me, he had had his little ilicg in politics. As he had made a good record lo the legislature, and rettrod with unoorrupted hablta, one might have concluded him staunch and safe. Big of body, lie was otherwise big of brain and btg-hrarted. It. seemed to give hirn pleasure to help the needy; I.e. gave cordially to the support of his church. Today that, man is a fugitive from Justice.

Medals, j though struck by authority, are only ' historical records and have 110 currency value.

They bear symbols 1 of some god as a pledgo of good faith. The offerings, tithes and rents of tho worshipers were coined and circulated as money. Temples thus became both 1 mints and banks. Our word "money" j 1 Is said to have been derived from tho Roman shrine of Juno, Moneta, the earliest Latin mint. ; Tho first shape of these early coins . was that of an enlarged coffee berry, ; , punched 011 the rounded side with olll- t t clal letters or sinkings, us tliey are culled.
