the Robbers. III
BALTIMORE, August l9.-The most
bold, daring and well executed bank
robbery ever perpetrated in Baltimore
took place in this city between the close
of business on Saturday and daylight,
at the Third National Bank, located on
South street near Second. The dis.
covery Of the robbery caused great ex>
citement in the vicinity ofthe bank, and
it was crowded with people anxious to
find out the particulars, which are as
follows After the bank had been
opened at the usual hour this morning,
the teller tried to open the door OF the
vault, but tailed. He sent for . lock
smith aod after an hours b ard
! work the locks were cut off and an
entrance effected, when it was
discovered that the vault had
been completely ransacked, an en-
trance having been gained through q
hole eighteen inches square, irom the
adjoining building, through which the
burglars passed their plunder. The
loss to the bank is about $15, 900 in
sreenbacks aud other available funds.
The lossto depositors OF valuables, ETC.,
cannot be estimated at present, az many
OF the owners are absent from the city.
Suspicion points to Stabier Il Co., the
men who occupied the adjoining build
ing, and who are now among the miss
ing. Detectives have the matter in
hand, and will no doubt use every exer
ton to gain the large reward offered by
the bank, namely, $4,000. Among the
missing bonds are SIS, 900 of the Louis.
vile coupon Water Loan bonds, and
5000 Northern Central ~railroad gold

very enthusiastic audience assembled
here this afternoon to listen to Hon.

candidate for Governor of Indiana, and

Hendricks delivered a very eloquent
speech, which lasted one hour: During
his speech he was frequently interrupted
by loud, hearty cheers from the euthu-
siastie crowd Of over twenty thousand.
He is very sanguine Of carrying the

Atthe conclusion OF Mr.. Hendricks

Cassius NJ. Clay, who also spoke about

,iasm was manifested throughout.

deceased came to his death from the
rupture OF an artery OF the brain, pro-
duced by conclusion, by a fall on the

of a push given deceased by Charles
Richard Walsh, the owner of the sa'

this attempt SO angered the latter that
he gave the fatal push.
Corner" Broken.
CHICAGO, August l9.-The grain buy.
ers are all greatly excited this evening
over what is considered the breaking
up OF the great corner in wheat, which
has existed for some weeks. Wheat
dropped from sl.56 in the morning to
$l.3O. At the open Board, at P. NJ,
the amount held by the corners was
some four million bushels, 30 that q loss
has been sustained during the day OF 8
million dollars. Thirty FIVE thousand
bushels were received today by water
and five hundred and fifty cars by rail:
Wheat is being shipped from St. Paul
10 large quantities, and a cargo OF 25,.
900 bushel is expected from Buffalo,
a most extraordinary state OF things,
caused by the eagerness OF dealers to
break the ring. The corner has COM
uletely paralyzed the milling interest
OF the northwest by the raising Of prices,
30 that farmers were eager TO ship to
Chicago. The ring consists OF only
about half q dozen men, who, 1t is
thought, will be ruined il the ring has
broken.
