THE GREAT NORTHAMPTON BANK ROBBERY.
STORIES FROM THE ARCHIVES OF THE FINKERTO/sT DETEC-
TIVE AGENCY -
About midnight on Tuesday, Janu-
ary 25, 1876, five =tasked men entered
the house of John Whittelsey in North-
ampton, Massachusetts. M. Wiaittel-
sey was the cashier of the Northampton
National Bank-, and was. known to have
in lois possession the keys of the bank
building and the oorabination to the
bauk vault. The five nien entered the
hones, with the aid a the false
keys, previously prepared,. Passing up-
stairs to the sleeping apartments, tatty
overpowered seven inmates a the house,
gagging and binding theni eo that re-
stet:rave or alarmwas impossible. These
were caeitier Witittelsee and Ids wife,
Ur. and Mrs. T. R. Cutler, Miss Mat-
tie White. Miss Penton, and a ser -

volvers at Aix. Nt hittelsey's head, de-
claring they would blow Ms ferains out
unieses he yielded. Finally he did yield;
the eulfering was too great; the su-
preme intanct of sell -preservation as-
serted itself. Towards four o'clock in
the morning, bruised trom bead to foot,
and worn beyond further resistance,
he surrendered the keys, and revealed
the true combinalion of the vault.
'ahen the, robaere went away, leaving
two of their associates to watch over
the prieotiers. line ut tae band, before
his oepareure, did not disdain to search
Mr. le Littehey's clothes, and take his
weeed ae.d chain and fourteen dollars
in money. The last of the band xe-
mained in the hothee until six o'clock;
and it was an hour later before Mr.
Whittehey succeeded in freeing him-
self from his bonds.„
He hurried at once to the bank, ar-
riving there soon o.tter seven o'clook.
He fou.nd the vault door iocked and it,s
dials broken off, so that it was irapos-
eible at the raoment to determine the
extent of the robeery, or, indeed, whe-
ther there had beexi any robbery. It
wa.s necessary to send to New York
for an expert 'before the vault could
be opened, which was not accoraplWhed
uutii late that night, twenty houraf-
ter the attack hau been made. 'Then it
was found that the robbers had been
only too successful, having secured
money and. securities estimated at a
million and. a quarter dollars. Much of
tilts maxi was safe deposits, and the loss
fell on the depositors; and to some it
wee the loss of their whole property.
At this time the authorities had no
clue to the identity of the robbers,
though they had left behind them nu-
merous evidences of their prepence,
such as dark lanterns, masks, sledge-
hammers, overshoes, and the like. Thar
escape had been managed as skilfully
as the robbery itself. Sheriff's officers
and detectives did their best during
subsequent days and weeks, but their
efforts were in Vain. The preeident of
'the bank offered 's, reward of twenty-
five thousand dell.are for the apprehen-
sion of the robbers and the return of
the property • but there were no dise
eoveries. .
When several months had. elapsed
the Pinkertons were called into the

ing the certain communieatious that
had been received by. the bank direc-
tors from persons claiming to have in
their possession the missing securities.
The first of these commumeations was
dated. New York, February 27, 1876,
about a month a,fter tate robbery. It
ran as follows, the letters of each word
being carefully printed. with a. Pen, BO
that there was little chance et identi-
fication through the bandwriting:
"Dear atm. -When you. are satisfied
with detective skill, you can make a

LONDON SMOKE.
Reasons Why it Has neen. E.:leering Away
ot Late VelleS•
A new aand unexpected. agency is
baying a most beneficial effect in con-
tributing to the o.batexnent of the
smoke nuisance in London. The re-
lative clearness of the London atmos-
phere within the last twelve months
has been plainly apparent, and the
&smoke cloutt which obscures the Lon-
don atmosphere appears to be progres-
sively lightening. Mr. Earnest Ilart,
Cheirman (a the Smuke Abatement .Ex -
Lannon itt London, irequently pointed
out that the greatest contributors to
the smoke eloud at Land= were the
small grates of the enormous number
oi kouees of the poor, and a eereit deal
of ingenuity has been exnausted with
relatively little suoce.se in endeavoring
to abate this nuesanoe. the use of gas
lime was Urgently recommended, but
had hitherto been difficult, owing to
les owe and the want of suitable ap-
paratus. The rapid and very exten-
:axe growth of the use of gas for cook-
ing a.a. well as lighting parpsaes by the
working* classes, due tu the introduc-
tion ot the "penny in the slot" system,
is working a great revolution in the
London atmosphere. During the last
four years the South London Gas Com-
pany alone has fixed. 50,000 slot meters,
and nearly 38,000 small gas cooking
stoves in the houses of the working
men. This movement is still making
great progress, and we hope means may
be found to extend it to the houses
of the more corafortable classes. The
enormous improvement in the London
atmosphere, and the clearing away of
a. smoke pall whith hangs over Lon-
don, may then be anticipated. Great
progress has already been made and
still may be hoped in the clearing of
the London alas
THE DEFIANT TURK
The Powers wilt Not Co-operate with
Great Eritain-The London Tittles Ad-
vises Caution.
An editorial in the London Times,
after remarking that "for the present
the indignation against the Turks is
oonfined to England and the United
States, which abstains from all inter-
vention in European affairs," calls at-
tention to the remarkable letter of
Lord Hugh Cecil, the Marquis of Salis-
bury's SOn, as an indication of the views
of Lord Salisbury and the Cabinet.
Lord Hugh Cecil said in this letter that
it would be dangerously misleading the
Armenians for England to make them
believe that she alone °mild save them.
The Tixae.s also c.alls attention to "the
netorions fact that Russia will not tol-
erate any coercion of the Turk," and
appeals to the country to consider well
the risk it will run en an agitation foe
action on the part of England. The
Times concludes by saying- :"The
Government may be relied upon to do
all that prudence and the means at
their coramand will allow, but it le
useless to spar a willing horse, ansi it
may be fatal to both horse and rider to
spur him at an impossible fence."
Despatches from Berlin, Vienna, and
St. Petersburg to the Times reproduce
semi-official articles given out at those
capitals, showing that the powers are
not disposed to assist in any coercion
of Turkey.
A despatch from Constantinople to
• the Times emphasises the fact of par-
alysis of trade there, and the jeopardy
ot £400,000,000•eterling of European cap-
ital engaged in enterprises in Turkey.

THE Raft,.
Mr. Craig moved that the Speaker
be requested to issue an order pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors
within the preeincte or this House.
He had been asked, he said, why he
did not move this resolution in the last
Parliament, since nis friends were
Uteri in power. His reply was tbat
in that Parliament he was a compar-
atively young member, and he thought
such a duty should rather have been
undertaken by some older member.
Now the circernetances were •altered,
and now there were a great many
new members ba the House. The im-
pression had gone forth that the is-
suance of the Speaker's order closing
the bar meant prohibiting the sale of
liquor in tbe House. Every member
knew such was not the case, because
althaigh the bar had been closed it was
quite possible to obtain liquor at meals
or by ordering refreshments.
Mx. \lateen seconded the raotion.
Mr. Laurier -I do not know that
agree altogether with every word. that
bee benn said upon this subject by my
hon. friend, but neither personally nor
as the head of the Government have
any objections at all to the motion
being carried. The order was given in
a, way which the Speaker supposed
would meet the different views held on
this questioe by different members of
this House. I quite agree with the
hon. gentleman that the sale of liquor
over the counter in the House of Com-
mons is altogethez improper. I am
not ready to say that the sale of
liquor as it would. have been carried.
on under the order of the Speaker, as
it is done in a. olub, is of that charac-
ter, that is to say, it is not properly
sale of liquor, for the order which was
given by the Speaker is to the effect
that it man could have liquor with his
meals, as is done in all clubs. Rata the
tens of the House is to be the contrary
effect, as it seems to be, indeed, that
thee% should be no liquor at all sold
within the precincts of the House, no
matter in what farm or way, neither
over the counter nor with meals, the
Governraent have no objection at all
to the motion being carried.
Sir Charles Tupper -I will not at-
tempt to prolong the discussion, but I
was very strorigly impressed with the
importaxtee of some such etep as is
now proposed, because the fact that
liquor could be obtained within the
peecinots of the House last session era
abled parties to publish very strong
and very unjustifiable censure with re-
ference to the character and, conduct
of the =embus of the House of Com-
mons. In order to avoid the possi-
bility of such censures in future I
think it is almost necessary to take the
measure proposed by my hon. friend,
and I shall certainly support the mo-
tion. I understand that the same con-
dition of things existecl under the late
Speaker as would exist under your
order. I understand that Mr. White
when he occupied the position of
speaker in this House gave the same
instruction that no liquor should. be
sold over the bar, and yet that was not
sufficient, allowing as it did the pur-
chase and use of liquor in connection
with meats or with xrefreshmeras,
which makes it an extremely difficult
thing to enforce. The regutation that
woula promote the strict temperance
•which both the lake Speaker and your-
self have aimed at produoing seems
to have accomplished that effect, at all
events, so far as protecting the House
from very severe animadversions on
the emit of the press and parties on
public platforms, end elsewheia, bi re-
gard to the conduct of members. • In
my own judgment, I do not believe it
would be possible to collect an equal
nranber of gentlemen in any legislative
body in tine or any other country
where temperance is more uniformly
the rule. I do not believe it would be
possible to find a Parliament atywhere
where greater self-restraint is exercised
on the part of ahno.ost every member of
the House.
Tbe motion was then put and eareied
without a dissenting voice.

"SALE. OP LIQUOR STOPPED.
Mr. Speaker made. the following an-
nouncemente-"1 aeish to ixtention to•
the House that, itt accordance with the
resolution unanimously passed by the
House witb: refereace to the, abolition
ot the supply of liquor in the precincts
a the House of Commons, I have giv-
en the mast stringent and absolute di -
realms that that suggestion or order
shall be carried. out." (Some applause.)
THE EXPERLIEENTAL HARMS.
On the item of $75,000 for the Ex-
perimental farms,
Mr. Doinville urged that there should
be, it reduction in the amount of the
vote. He complained that the em-
ployes at the Central foam were living
m a mansion. "I think," he said, 'it
is a perfect disgrace to see the money
eXperide& in the way it has been in
budding what we may term mansions
for the eraployes. (Laughter.) I do
not know the name ,of the bead of the
farm., but how, on the salary granted
by Parliament, he eon live in such a
mansion is beyond toy compaehension.
Mr. Fisher said no one appreciated
more thoroughly than he did the work
done by the experimental farms in
this country, and he reminded the
House. that he was a member of the
committee on the strength of whose
report the establishment of the farms
was decided upon. The farm at Ot-
tawa was af the greatest value to ag-
riculturists. By its means a largo
amount ot valuable information bad
been collected ansi placed at the dis-
posal Qf practical farmers in the coun-
try. He was pleased. to be able to say

AID TO BUTTER -MAKING.
On the item of 825,000 for edvances
for making cheese and butter within

formation that no loss to the country
had resulted from the advances made
last season, chiefly in Prince Edward's
island, for this purpose, the manta'
having all been repaid out of the pro-
ceeds of the sales, in addition to the
extra profit scoured by ,the producers.
