fV Richard MADDEN, who was shot by
McLane at Wheeling, Va, died from the Of
fects Of his wounds on Wednesday. Before
bis death he was informed that McLane had
committed suicide, and expressed his deep
regret, as the utmost good feeling, he said,
had always existed between them. Both Of
the unfortunate young men were buried on
Thursday. In connection with this affair,
the Wheeling lntelligencer relates the fol-
lowing circumstances:
- ssSome months ago the city was startled
with the announcement OF the death OF Louis
Thompkins, q most estimable young man, 10
many respects. He fell from an unmanage.
able horse, and vas so severely injured that
death resulted several hours afterward.--
Yong McLane was an intimate associate Of
Thompkins, and was with him Ut the time of
the accident. Being extremely sensitive,
McLane could not persuade bimself that be
was altogether blameless 10 tho affair, and
consequently declined into = melancholy
state Of mind, once or twice intimating that
he vas almost tempted to shoot himself. We
mention this because it evidently bad not Q
little to do in determining self. destruction
after shooting MADDEN. The two circum-
ssances together, and the Respondent reaec-
tions which necessarily followed in one oil
MoLane's nature, doubtless deranged biz
mindO

Hold Astempt NJ hank Robbery.
A bold and daring attempt to rob the New
York Exchange Bank came to light on Mon
day, the 25th ult. The cashier being unable
to open the door OF the bank that morning
for the usual transaction Of the business for
the day, had to Gall the assistance OF look
smith. Efectirg an entrance, they found
large hole in the floor, which, on exsmina.
ton, wss found to be the exit Of subserra-
mean passage 10 feet long and 2 feet high,
which led into the basement store Of the ad.
joining house.
The burglars, it appears, about six weeks
ago, bought the stock and good will Of this
basement store, then occupied by rag car
pet weaver, at an expense Of @llO0, and since
had been actively engaged 10 digging shrosgh
the foundation Of the bank building, and
thus gained access to the inside. The safe,
which contained $500, 900 10 money and
bonds, they were unsuccessful 10 opening,
but they carried away . tin cash boz con
tanning $1,000, belonging to depositor, and
which had usually been Left outside owing to
its size.
The following is list Of the burglarious
and other implements found in the vault, the
passage way and the carpet basement:
l large jackscrew, l small DO. l large
cro~bar, small DO, compound driver,
jimmies, ! iron bar, l large slsdgshammer,
braces, ! hatohet, / fore. plane, nallss,
! hand vice, 3 fles, CLAW hammer. screw-
driver, chisel, 8 saws, / pivot, Sc drills, 2
cold chssls, 2 oil cans, large iron poker,
spades, shovels, ! carpenters square, !
demijohn OF whisky.
The estimated value OF the above imple-
ments IL given as 5000 or $500. They are
said, by mechanics, to be the finest and bes,
finished articles OF the kind.
The burglars' outlay, it will be seen, ha,
been about $4,000, not estimating the tim.
and labor employed in the excavation OF ths
underground passage.
II supposed that English burglars wer,
engaged in this affair, and several have beer
arrested by the New York authorities on sus
picion.
