Bank ROBBERY OF ROCHESTER.
Safe Blown open and $4,000 stolen.

From Winona Republican, Thursday.
On Wednesday evening, the 18th instant.
the First National Bank at Rochester was
broken into, the safe blown open, and 90, 600
mostly in Minnesota currency, distracted
therefrom. The work of opening the safe was
done In such manner as to indicate that pro-
fessi0nal burglars had performed it. There
was also taken out of the safe q package of
$25, 900 in National currency and $15, 900 of
United States bonds, but by some oversight
the robbers left that and decamped with the
$4,000 and bag choppers. Probably they
supposed the sack contained gold.
No clue was had as to the perpetrators IN til
Thursday evening. It appears that early on
that morning three men arrived at EyOta Sta
ton, about twelve miles east Of Rochester,
place. Their actions were suspicious, and at
tracted the attention of Mr.. Dill, q former resi-.
dent of this city. At that time, however, nei-
Their he nor his fellow passengers knew Of the
robbery. The three men stopped In town
most of the day, but before the arrival Of
the evening train with the news, they de-.
camped. A dispatch was sent to Lacrosse for
the Sheriff there to intercept the described par
ties If they should be on any Of the down
boats.
The Favorite received two passengers at Ho-
mer, who were suspected Of having been en-.
gagged In the affair. Upon her arrival at La
Crosse the Sheriff went aboard and arrested
the two suspicious passengers, and had them
their persons. They were then secured. The
third person hired horse and buggy from Mr..
Warren Of this city, giving notice that he
would return it the same evening, but up to
the present time has not reappeared. Sheriff
King Is after him.

The San Francisco Ecenisg BuRsdn OF
July 18th says:
Our regular seni-annual treasure state

an increase of 1925, 007, while the in

1858 is $685., 1889. The receipts by pri-
vate hands from the interior, sometimes

less than $50, 900. The figures for
the past three years show growing ratio

assertions previously made in this paper
on that score. This fact is the more inte-

The Manchester Murder.


The Hartford Couramt Gives these fur
ther particulars in regard to the murderer
Starkweather:
The murderer, Albert L. Starkwsather,
who is now awaiting his trial in the county
Jail, has throughout, from the Preparation
of the murder to the end of his examina-
ton, exhibited the most obdurate sullen-
ness and hsrdhearted indifference. He has
seemed to care little a. to what the end
would be, and when he told Mr.. Campbell,
in his interview with him at the Jail, that
he committed the murder and expected ITO
be hung and 90 to hell" he expressed in
words what be thought would be justice
towards himsslf That he perpetrated the
inhuman butchery tor the sake of gain is
but too evident for he was well aware, -
he afterwards confessed, that the young
lady to whom he was engaged would not
consent to marry him while his pecuniary
affairs were in bad situation, and he was
deeply in debt.
He tried every possible means to accum-
ulate wealth. he attempted to borrow
money, and represented that others owed
him sums with which he would be able
to replace the borrowed capital, when,
in fact, he actually owed those persons
whom he had shown as being indebted to
him. He saw no other way to complete
bis object but by the murder of his mother
and sister; to this he stopped, and he now
lies in prison, the perpetrator of double
murder, exhibiting the hardness of cold
blooded brute. That the plea of insanity
| is expected to be brought forward in his
defence is already evident, both from the
manner in which his counsel at the trial
Objected to questions put by the prosecut-
ing attorney bearing upon this point, and
the statement of Mr.. Campbell, who told
Starkweather at the time of his visit to
his cell that if he was not proved to be in
sane he must expect to meet the extreme
penalty of the law.

struggle for the constitution and government.
and honor the living who have periled life and
fortune in the same great cause
The third asserts that with the cessation of
war, its bloody and barbarous spirit ahould be
geance should yield to Christian charity and
magnanimity.
The fourth asserts that it is the dut,6bf the
federal government TO re-establish, at yhe ear
LEST moment, with the least possible interfer-
ence. the true constitutional relations between
itself and the late revolted States, and exert all
its legitimate power to promote and maintain
that fraternity and universal harmony which ia
necessary for the happiness and glory of the
Republic destined to be one and indivisible for.
ever.
The fifth resolves that the Democrats of
Maine reassert the fundamental principles of
equal and exact justice to all men and all ma.
tons, with entangling alliances with none.
the support of State governments in their
constitutional rights and the preservation of
the general government in its whole constitu.
tonal vigor, jealous care of the rights of
electors, absolute acquiescence in the win of
the majority, a well disciplined militia and the
supremacy of the civil over the military au-

only as the public safety demands, and that
each State possesses the constitutional recog-
nized right of prescribing the qualifications of

find him returning to the first principles of
our government in refusing to accept gratu-
tiles.
The eleventh resolves that the assassination
of President Lincoln was an act of unmitigated
barbarian.

Mr.. seward During His Illness.
Mr.. George Woke, who attended Mr..
Seward, gives the following account,
which is translated from the Illinois Stats
Zsitusag: 49, ra
On the morning after the assassination
he said to his nurses his sensations imme-
diately after the assault had by no means
been of an unpleasant nature. He had
experienced no extraordinary pains, but
while the blood had been gushing from his
arteries, he supposed that his last end was
nigh, and thought at the same time what q
pleasant thing it was to die thus without
pain.
The attending physicians had pro-
hibited speaking before the attempt
ed assassination, but to express his
thoughts in writing, was also i'm.
practicable, as bis right arm was broken.
But as soon as the condition of his frac-
tured bones would allow, the medical gen.
temen had to bandage and fasten the up
per third of the arm (where the fracture
existed so as to enable him to use the
lower part and the hand for writing. In
this manner he conversed with the Presi-
dent during the last days Of that lamented
functionary's life. The President would
sit at his bedside and express himself on
the exciting questions..of the day, when
Seward would write his views on slate.
In the same manner he conducted his
interviews, before and after the assassin
alton, with Mr.. Hunter, the Assistant Sec
Rotary of State, and thus actually conduct
ed the affairs ofthe Department of State,
the papers, dispatches, documents, &C.,
of which had to be carried to his bedside,
even during the critical periods of his ill.,

end of the hall, some thirty feet distant
from where he fell Immediately after he
was shot the word passed quickly through
the crowd that Mulligan was beyond the
power of doing harm, and the crowd then
pressed towards the hotel, with the hope
of getting sight at the dead body.
APPEARANCE OF rHB BODY.
Stretched out in the hall on his back,
with his feet just inside the door OF tne
room, lay the earthly remains OF Billy Null
ligan. The blood was flowing from his
mouth. his eyes protruding from their
sockets. and the brains oozing out on the
floor and mingling with his blood. Firmly
grasped in his right hand, and lying by his
side was the weapon with which he had
been dealing death about him. The pistol
ia q large seven-barrel French revolver,
carrying half-ounce ball, or one of the
same size as those used in Colts new army
pistols. There still remained three loads
in the pistol, and another Cartridge was
found in his pocket. The walls were be-
spattered with blood and brains, and on
line with the fatal bullet were the same in
dications Of death, even to the further end
of the hall. Some twenty feet from where
the body lay was picked up piece of the
skull the size of silver dollar, showing the
terrible character of the Mimic ball, and
its deadly effect where it strikes. The
body was arrsyed in q fashionable suit of
black, which, with the neatly fitting boots
and other portions Of the dress which 30
characterized him when alive, were all
that could be recognized Of the exquisitely
dressed desperate who had 50 many times

OF s. II. WHIfsIrr by JAMES F. TORRRY:

Inc memphis commercial OF Aug. 1lth
gives the following account of the killing
OF s. b. WHrTs1rr by JAMES F. ToRRE1:
The fact is clear that Torrey entered Nc.
Cullough's drinking saloon in the alley in the
rear Of Capt. Larry Harmsteadb Office, and
walking up to Whitsitt, who was leaning upon
the counter, deliberately shot him, the ball
entering the upper part Of the right arm !;
that he then re-cocked his pistol and presented
it. but was prevented from firing by bystand-
er, "a stranger to both) who sprang towards
Torrey, and striking his hand up, at great per-
sonal risk, for the time being saved Whitsitt
from further assault from the enraged murder
er; and that Whitsitt then making his way
staggeringly from the drinking house into the
alley, fell exhausted, his fall being accelerated
by blow with the pistol still in the hands of
Torrey, who then stopped down and with ten
or dozen blows beat the fallen man on the
head until his skull was broken to atoms and
his brains protruded, when, rising from his
work Of blood, he coolly told those composing
the crowd to get out Of the way, and walked
of, all the while swinging his pistol, a long,
ten.inch navy repeater.
He had not, however, gone far, ere he was
arrested by squad of the Provost Guard and
two policemen, who conducted him to the sta
ton house, in tho cellar of which, in irons, he
awaits q preliminary examination into the
cause and the crime.
The man Torrey, whose condition to-day
must be Of the most unenviable sort is widely
known as the person who nine or ten years
ago shot and killed q man in the Office of the
late Esquire Horn, corner of Jefferson and
Main streets, from the consequences of which
crime he fled to California, where in duel, re-
markable for the desperate ferocity with which
it was fought, he killed his man, being tied to
tree by his left arm all the while. Leaving
California ahOnt the time of the historic Vipi.
lance Committee, he returned to this State, it
is said killing man on the way, remaining
here unmolested until the breaking out of the
war, when he entered the service of the late
C0nfederacy as Wagonmaster, serving taith.
Southern Government until its close, killing
meanwhile another man somewhere in Geor-
gia. He returned home last Saturday, after
four years service in the field in the capacity
named, and now lies in prison awaiting an in
vestigation into this we hope, his last, as it is
his most atrocious crime.
