New York, January 11.—A smal! boy, about 15 years of age, entered Daniel Bings’ cigar store at No. 64 West Forty-second street, and asked for a five-cent cigar. The clerk, M. W. Loeb, an qjd man 51 years old, was at his lunch in the rear of the store at the time. He gave the boy a cigar, which was paid for with a _ fifty- cent piece. The lad started for the door, when he apparentiy dropped some- thing on the flour, and when Mr. Loeb red over the counter the boy was on bis nees, looking fur the lost article. After waiting five or ten minutes, Mr. Loeb aban- doned his lunch, and went to the front of the counter to assist the boy in his search. The old man adjusted his spectaci-s, and assum- ing a stooping position looked carefully over the flour, his back being toward the door, At this moment two rougti-looking men, who had been watching from the outside, UIETLY OPENED TH OR and stealithily entered. Old Mr. Loeb feel- ing the cvid draught, partially raised bim- self, when he was ielied by a heavy blow on or help, and, with the bleud streaming over his face, arose to his feet. The ruffian, who was armed with a short piece of leaden pipe, again siruck the old mandown. ‘The blow, powerful as it was, did not render the old man unc.n- scivus, and engi his feet he struggled with the ruffians. fe was quickly vover- come, hawever, and was repeatedly beaten over the head with the pipe. During the struggle he succeeded in biting his assail- ant’s hand. His shouts apparently frigut- ened the ruffians, for they hurriedly left the store without securing the money till, which . was evidently their design. With his face and cwwthes covered with blood the old man followed them to the street, where he sank upon the pavement from exhaustion. In the meantime a crowd gathered and several mep gave Chase te the thieves. The ruffians separated, one run- ning along Forty-second street ad the other taking the opposite route. The boy disap- peared as 800n as THE STRUGG!.E BEGAN. He was apparenutiy the O.iver ‘Twist of the affray. The men succeeded in eluding their standing under the elevated ra:iroad station, beard the old man’s cries and saw him standing inthe door covered with bia pointing toward Sixth avenue. A mantra around the corner just then and the cabwan followed. He caught sight of him balf way to Furty-third street and pursued him into that street and toward Fifth avenue. On the corner a crowd was gathered at the Tempie Enanuel, where Dr. La>k.r’s funeral was in progress. The rubver ran into the cruwd, after looking around to see if he was followed, and the cabman LOST SIGHT OF HIM. The cigar stvre is situated In the most prominent part of Furty-second street. It is the third dvor east of Sixtu avenue and is almost at the fovt of the stairs of the Elevated Railroad stauion. There was the usual num- ber of citizens on the street at the time of the outrage, aud passengers coming down the Elevated Railroad stairs could obtain a view of the interior of the store. A physi- cian who was descending the stairs as the ruffians burst through the doorway saw the old man stagger to the street and sink down in a pool of bivod. He assisted to carry him into the stwre aud washed the bluod from his wounds. He had one hurribie gash extendi:g from thg right eye to the center of the skull and theré were several other wounds upon his head. The leaden pipe which the burglars left behind them was about a fuet jong and was bent in a half circle as though caused BY STRIKING MR. LOEB’S HEAD. An ambulance was summvuned and Mr. Loeb was removed to St. Luke’s Hospital. He Was subsequentiy sent to his home. His condition is critical. Mr. Bings, the propri- etor of the store, said that nothing had been stolen. The police of the Nineteenth Precinct had been advisea of the outrage, and a telegraphic report was sent to headquarters frum the station in Fifty- first street. Ili founda Inspector Byrnes there, aud he sent two of the detectives to look into the maiter. They obtained from the cabman a partial description of the rob- ber who escaped on Fifth avenue, but it is nut probable that he can be identified if ar- rested.

The Jesse James of Arkansas Shot and Killed by a Companion, By Telegraph w the Post. Dispatch. FAYETTEVILLE, ARK., January 11.—Last evening, on their way home from Fayette-’ ville, where they had been during the great- er part of the day, Jeff Gilliland and John Malone quarreied and Jeff fired on Maione without effect. Malone returned the tire and killed Jefferson instantiy. The shot “took effect intie head, going in over the right eye and coming out behind the left ear. Your correspondent learns that it was a justifiable case. The shooting occurred three miles south of Fayetteville. Jeff Gil- liland, it will be remembered by the readers of the Post-DisPatcu,- was noted as a desperate charac- ter, and the only: surprising thing in his existence is that he had been able to live as long as he has. It was at his house that a United States Marshal -and a posse of thirty-six men were repulsed by Gilliland, assisted by his brother and the two Webbs, while endeavoring to serve a warrant on some horse thieves harbored there in Sep- tember, 1882. Gilliland was a boon com- panion of the notea JOHN AND GEORGE REED, = who were killed within the past f our ycars in Fayetteville. He was at times publicly charged, bat with what toundation it is not known, of complicity in the assassi- ination of Patten, the City Marshal of Fay- eteville, and of Mormet, the Deputy Sheriff of Washington County, both of whom lost their lives on the 2d day of July, 1881, on the principa! corner of the business portion of Fayetteville at the hands of two unknown murderers. Gilliland was also in company with Jim Webb, when within a few yards of Where Gilliland lost his life. The latter in October, 1853, killed a poor and INOFFENSIVE OLD IMMIGRANT, just in order, as he expressed it at the time, “to see the old man kick.” The deceased Was known as a coward in the ordinary sense, but dangerous asa foe, from the fact that he would resort to despotic measures for vengeance or retaliation. He was a great talker and had about bim usually the worst characters in the country of late years. He has been recognized as the Jesse James of Arkansas aud the leader of the gang. MISSUURIL MATTERS.

How Wall Street Operators Amused Themselves Yesterday. Vanderbilt’s “Call” on Russeli Sage While the Latter was Attending a Funeral—The Denver & Rio Grande’s Big Mortgage. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, New York, January 11.—Russel!l Sage was badly squeezed yesterday on a sudden call by Wm.-H. Vanderbilt for 200 shares of Michigan Central stock. Russeli’s excuse is that he was attendinga funerai, and thus neglected to make the delivery. If so, that funeral cost him the enormous suin of $150, and only those who were present on his re- turn to his office can appreciate the state uf his feelings when acquainted Of this loss. Just before the close of business on the Stock Exchange yesterday, Chairman James Mitchell rapped for order and read a notice from W. S. Webb & Co, of No. 37 Wall street. Mr. Webb is oné of Vander- bilt’s namerous sons-in-law, andis a member of the Exchange and acts as one of the ‘“‘old man’s’ brokers. The notice was to the ef- fect that RUSSELL SAGE HAD FAILED to make a delivery of 200 shares of Michigan Central, and in defauit of delivery a request that the chairman Duy in 200 shares on Mr. Sage’s account. The scene on the Exchangé alter the reading of the notice was exciting for a moment, The reading having been indistinct, the members were in doubt a3 to the amount of the undelivered stock and the horrible suspicion of Sage’s failure and its consequences crossed their minds. This for a mument only. and then the bu- mor of the situation flashed across the Board-room and there was one prolonged yell of delight. The brokers’ could scarcely restrain themselves, and they pulled themselves nearly to pieces in their efforts to express their feelings. Finally, as the chairman called for offers of Michigan Central stock fur “cash” delivery, “Billy” Hendriques, brother of Alexander Hen- driques, the vice-chairman, and A POPULAR MEMBER, climbed upon the top of a bench and shanted at the top of his voice, “Make yours high, boys. Make tne old man pay for this.” The “old man” referred to was Russell Sage, and the proposition was to wake the heavy capitalist pay for this transaction. Mr. Heudriques’ rewarks only increased the merriment, and, as he was out of order, Mr. Mitchell, with difficulty suppressing the laughter, fined Mr. Hendriques $1. The 200 shares were then bought in for Russeli Sage at 92%. The last revious sale had been at 92, sv that Mr. age’s non-delivery cost him $150. At his office it was said that Mr. Sage had gone toa funeral, so his version could not be obtained, but it is said that the non-de.ivery may have been not accidental, but intentional, as Vanderbilt is cailing io the stock very fast, and, asitis very scarce, r cent for burrowing to make a delivery. wee W.s. Webb & Co, it was paid the 200 shares had been borrowed by . Sage, that DEMAND HAD BEEN MADE for it on Weduesday, and yesterday morning they notified Mr. Sage that unless he made the delivery the chairwan wouid be notitied. Mr. Sage is one of the oldest, as he is un- doubtedly the richest, member of the Stoek Exchauge. Premium At the Covers the Whole Indebtedness.
