Willyms, the Sacristan of the Homitn Cathollo church of St, Benedict the Moor, died lately In New York, The sacristan was known throughout tho United States for his learning and literary attainments. It was tho great object of fW life to become a priest, His father was a slave and lived on a plantation at Mount Vernon, adjoining tho home of General Washington. Voiing Willyms was in Washington lor a few years, and then, through the Influences of friends who were impressed by tho aptitude which he showed in study, was bent to Home, lie was about 20 years old, In when he arrived at Homo. He studied in tho propaganda for several years. Mr.

Willyms was In tho same class with Archbishop Corrlgan. When the latter visited the church of St. Bene-diet the Moor, ho always met the sacristan and talked to him In Italian of the days in Home. Mr. Willyms was in Homo In tho days of Pope Plus IX.

Ho was known as "The Pope's Ulttle Black." The outbreak of tho civil war made It Impossible for him to return to this country as a priest, llu was never ordained. He saw that It wotihf he a mistake for him to attempt lo take orders. He decided to devote his llfo to teaching ami to literary pursuits.

THE YOUNGER BROTHERS' RAIDS Crimes of the Outlaws Whom Minnesota la About to Set Free The Ground on Which Petitions for Clemency, to These Notorious Criminals Have Been Made and Listened to. St.

Paul dispatch of recent ilato says: Tho exploits of the Younger brothers and Frank and Jessie James and their dating raids upon towns and railroad trains which extended over a period of twenty years, art recalled because the legislature of Minnesota has decided to give Bob and Colo Younger their fivodoni. It Is nearly twenty-six years since that memorable raid upon the Bank of Xorthtleldrf when tho united forces of the James ami Younger gangs were engaged in battle for six days anil the outlays were almost wiped out. There were six Younger brothers, one of whom died In boyhood. They were tho of Col. Henry AV.

Younger, a Southern man who moved to Cass county, in The live boys who lived to attain their majority were Hlcbard, Thomas, Coleman, Hob-ert, Kwlntf and John Younger. During tlio war they, like the two brothers, were irregular, or guerilla troops, who stole as often from one side as the othe. After the war they became bandits. The first robbery of the kind with which the Youngers were later idon-tiilqd was that of the Continental) Hank of IJborty, on Feb. 14, 1S6G.

when $70,000 was secured. The Youngers took 1:0 part In this exploit. The robbers followed the same tactics which were employed af terward tinio and again and which. always succeeded until the North-Held robbery. The party, well mounted and heavily armed, rode into town, liring and yelling In the streols and terrorized the citizens, while two of the gang dis mounted and with cocked revolvers forced the cashier to hand over the bank's funds.

Tho Younger boys were first known to be with tho James brothers in the bank robbery at Columbia, Ky. The cashier, refusing to give up the money, was killed. The scene of tlio next raid was in Iowa. At Corydon, they succeeded in robing a. bank of $10,000.

On May 27. the St. Gen-ovivo Bank was robbed of Tn 1S70 they began to rob railway trains. The Chicago, Hoelc Tsland and Pacillc llrst east of Council Bluffs. Xext the cash box of the Kansas City Fair Association was robbed of Its day's receipts.

This was followed by tho holding up of tho Malvern and Hot stages in January, 1871. Then tlio band attempted another train robbery at Gad's Hill, on the Iron Mountain Hallway. The Youngers and the Jameses then scperated for a while, as heavy re-wards wore offered for their arrest. Many attempts were made to capture them. Tn one of them John Younger was killed.

At times tho detectives were hunters, and then again they would bo hunted. In December, two parties were organized for robbery. One, consisting of Jessie James, Bob Younger and James Younger, stopped a train at Muncie, and robbed tlio express safe of Another party, consisting of Cole Younger, Frank James and tho Millers, robbed a bank at Corinth, Miss. Later, tho James brothers, the three Youngers, Charles Pitts and Clell Miller robbed a Missouri Pacific train at otkrvllle, seeming In lfc7 they decided to rob the bank at Northlleld, on Sept. 7.

The band consisted of Bob, Cole and James Younger, Bill Caldwell, Clem Miller, Frank and Jessie James and Charley Pitts. They rode directly to tho bank, where Frank and Jessie James tnd Colo Younger dismounted and entered. Once inside they ordered J. P. Haywood, the cashier, to open the safe or die.

He refused and was shot. AVIille this was going on there was wild sceno In front of tho bank. A. W. Wheeler, who occupied a second-story room opposite, got a rlllo and shot Charles Pitts and Hill Chadwell.

Then other citizens began llrhig. Tho robbers lied and woro pursued for six days by hundreds of men. Finally, tho bandits scperated. Cole, Hob and Jim Younger and Clell Miller kupt to. gelher.

The James boys escaped after being repeatedly wounded and suffering untold hadships. On Sep. 2t tho four others were surrounded In tho swamps of tho AVoton-wan Hirer nearly famished nud exhausted, Miller was killed and tho three Ynungors were all wounded he-foro they surrendered. The Youngers were arraigned In court early in October at Falrhault, where being advised that they could not be sentenced to death If they pleaded guilty they did so. and woro sentenced to penal servitude at Stillwater for their natural lives, Jim Younger died in confinement.

For a number of year past the friends of the Imprisoned men have Fought their pardon. Petitions signed by every member at tho legislature of Missouri and by men of jut tonal reputation liavd been presorted 1 1 tho Governor and Stale Legislature. Two years ago th? State Senate passed a bill granting, them a parole, and it would have passed in tlio House had not the friends of the dead cashier r.totosted against tlio clemency. There appears to be a sentiment In Minnesota favoring tho pardon of tho men. It -was never established that any of tho Younger brothers was responsl-ble for the death of any of the victims ot thn Northlleld raid.

They are old men now and over since their Incarceration they have been model THE MARKETS. Wall 8trt RstIbw.
