OVER A IttlUIOSSTOUX
London, Sept. 21. Auoth
er heavy-bar's robbery, is re
ported today, but as -every
effort is being made to sup
press the facts, no fiiil.li.ori
tative story can be told. So
fur as known, however, it is
this: A large number -of bills
remitted from the London
iiml Westminister linnk. Lon. you' .see,
don, which is nn important
institution, having fifteen or
more branches in ihis city.
The amount lost is variously
estimated from $7."0,!H)0 to
$1,500,000. The mat tor has
become public through no
tices to banks an 1 to the po
lice centries of the country,
and through the espionage
oer departing vessels at ail
ports of the kingdom. Th
theory of the police is that
no attempt wiil be made to
use thotnoiioy in Great Brit
ain, but that it will be taken
nbmnd. niOHt likely to the
Continent, where a great deal
of English money circulates.
The actual method of the
robbery is to the public en
tirely conjectural, but the cir
cumstance recalls the clever
robbery last February of the
Clerk of the London '.ranch j
of the Hank of Scotland as j
he stood at the public coun
ter of the National Provin
cial Bank.
The thieves obtained $G0,.
000 by that haul, and noth
ing has been heard of them
or the money. Quite recent
ly it was reported that the
Bank of England had been
robbed of 250,000 pounds,
but that statement was. de
nied by the officers of the
bank.--News and Observer.

Told by a Ufcargift Editor.
Ai Ancient Prlntinif Press-
One of the objects of inter
est which will be on exhibi
tion daring the SDuthern Ex
position at Raleigli, which
begins next month, will be
the wooden fra me of the press
upon which the Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence
was printed.-.The old press
has a history and is a relic
to be preserved at the State
capital after the Exposition
is over. Jt is uitorcstjngniot
only for the use made of it
but to illustrate by contrast
.the great improvement made
in printing press machinery
since the days wnen it was
young. It is the property of
11. B. Drake. Esq., of this
place, and is 115 years old.
lb was "used by hirn in the pub
lication of the Ashebo" o Bul
letin, 185057, and later hi
the publication of the Iredell
Express, and was only taved
from destruction when Stone
- man's raiders burned the of-;
' fico of the Express in 1805,
- by reason of the precaution
taken .by Mr. Drake, who Ind
, removed it td his ba rn before
fie Federals came; and even
then only the frame was Bay
ed the platten and other
riaria of woo'L ha ving been
. burned." Instead of one ; pndl
to print one side of a newspa
per jin this old press, two had
. to;be'maaothe.ldstoue;;by
' running ttu. form still forward
" to receive ' t h e ira prcssibn,
thus making double press
work. Mr. DrgTce shipped the
old press, or what is left of
it, U lluleijjh last Friday.--
He walked in and put down
a dollar, a silver dollai that
clanked like a carriage wheel
in thestillncss of the sanctum.
Said he:
"There, take it and my sub
scription quick."
"What's the matter.?'' said
