Robbery Of a Baltimore Bank.
Several Thousand Dollars Stolen.


BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug 19.-The Third Ma
tional Bank on South street in the heart of the
city, was entered and robbed by burglars last
night. The loss of the bank and individuals
who had private boxes deposited in the vault
has not been ascertained.
-Ldter-The officers of the Sd National Bank
set forth their losses by burglary as follows:
ST. 900 in greenbacks and national bank notes,
of which eight notes are of 500 each and "a
of $50 each, of the Sd national bank and the
following bonds held as collateral securities
Northern Central R. r. bonds S26,O00 North
Carolina State bonds SILL 800; Marietta and
Cincinnati r. r. bonds 81 900; United States
$40 bonds 81 800; Western Midland r. r.
bonds $4,000.
The bank offers $40, 900 reward for the recov-
cry of the above, or pro rata sum for partial
recovery. The individual losses of depositors
having boxes in the vault, cannot be ascertain
ed as many of them are out of town. The to-
tallosses will probably amount to several hun
bred thousand dollars as it is known that GER
tain boxes contained bonds and other securities
amounting to $4,000. The first floor of Get
ting's building, from which entrance was made
into the bank vault, was rented on the first of
June and man giving the name of E. Wash
burne who paid quarters rent in advance.

A Crash in the Wheat Market
"A Corner Broken.

CHICAGO, Aug. 19-The greatest excitement
prevailed this p NJ in the wheat market,
caused by the apparent or real collapse of the
corner which opened on change his morning at
1863 cash, or seller august but owing to large
receipts IN the past As hours declined to 14S 1t
rallied again and closed at $50. At half Ipast 3,
BOARD sales were made low as 1495. There was
feeling OF weakness and soon almost panic
and amid intense excitement prices srapidy de-
clined until II. Cash or seller august was
tonched. The decline in September options
was less marked opening at III "a and the last
sales on the street was ia.
There appears difference of opinion whether
the corner really is broken or not, some hold
nat the drop was made to stop the influx Of
wheat and that the clique will again advance
prices Others assert thatth corner is effectually
broken and that the clique found it impossible
to hold up against the heavy receipts which are
beginning to pour in from every direction.
Five hundred and fifty-fve cars were inspected
to-day and SO, 900 bushels arrived by water. 1t
is claimed that the rates are steadily increasing
day by day. 1t is reported that a large firm
has failed but nothing is publicly known. To-

Charles O'COnOr ON the Political Sifua-

NEW York, Aug. 19-Charles O'Conor was
interviewed yesterday, but refused to state
whether he would accept the nomination of the
Louisville Convention if rendered. He said he
should vote for iS nominees. He said, relative
to the political status, that it is curious how
little pretence there is to having any principles
on either side, but then L cannot very seriously
blame them. There is no great question upper
most now to excite enthusiasm or the spirit of
sacrifice. The country is in most prosperous
condition, teeming with plenty. In fact, there
is no cause for any kind of apprehension as far
as Grant and Greeley are concerned. do not
see what they can fight for except the posses
sion of the Office. But why the Democratic
party should interest itself in Mr.. Greeley's for
tunes is what never could comprehend, espec-
tally when one remembers that Greeley would
never say he would run if he was not endorsed
at Baltimore 1t was devilish thing to think
of his getting Democratic nomination under
those circumstances. He would not say he
would run without the Baltimore nomination.

WASHINGTON.
Favorable Reports from Geneva.


WASHINGTON, Aug 19.-Thcrc is informa-
ton from Geneva which warrants the assertion
that since the exclusion of claims for indirect
damages, the business before the tribunal of
arbitrator has been favorable to this govern
ment, and that several awards for direct dam
ages have been agreed upon, the indications
being that on the conclusion of the adjudica-
ton gross sum will be awarded to the United
States, thereby avoiding the reference of the
subject to board of commissioners. 1t should
not be expected that the particulars can now be
officially given as the proceedings of the tribu-
nal are conducted in secret, and as the informa-
ton furnished to our government is of the same
character.
Liberal Lying.
On enquiry to-day at the Department of
State, it was ascertained that there is no truth
whatever in the widely published statement
that President Grant recently requested Acting
Secretary Hunter to furnish the Union Con-
gressional Committee with a complete copy of
all the scandalous reports made to the depart
ment against Casius NJ. Clay while Minister to
Russia, and Gen. Fitzpatrick, Minister to Chill.
1t is not known that there are any reports of
that character in the department and certainly
the President made no such request of Hunter
Tine Howard-CIark affair. FL
Gen. Howard having denied that he ever had
any such conversation with the Secretary of
War as that from which David Clark protested
to quote his language, and insisted that he
would not therefore have made so untrue re-
port. Mr.. Clark calls upon the Secretary to
publish the letter written by him to Gen. How
ard, copies of which he was informed, as he
alleges, by that officer, were placed in the hands
of the President and Secretary of War.
Both the President and Secretary of war deny
that such copies were ever received by them and
assert that the idea of their having desired the
dismissal of the colored cadet was presented to
them for the first time in a letter FROM Clark
published in the Tribune of July 31st the alb
surdlty OF which they conceived to be fully de-
monstrated by the fact of the record that when
the cadet was subsequently actually sentenced
to be dismissed upon ample legal proof, his sem
tence was mitgated by the substitution of ex-
tremely light punishment.
Naval Contracts.
Contracts for naval supplies for the present
fiscal year, bids for which were opened in the
Bureau of Constitution and Repair several
weeks since, were awarded to-day.

The Belfast RiOus.
LONDON, Aug 18.-The riots in Belfast are
not yet thoroughly suppressed. The mayor and
magistrates of the city have issued proclama-
tion warning the rioters to disperse under the
severest penalties for continuance of the dis
orders. The arrests thus far in proportion to
the number engaged and casualties have been
remarkably few. In the hospitals are many
victims of the riots, quite large number of
them with sword cuts and bullet wounds.

THERE is difference of opinion between the
City Council and School Committee in refer
ence to the authority of the former over school
houses. The City Council have voted to build
ward room and school house on Vaughan
street, and have accepted iplans and put the
building under contract without any confer
ence with the School Committee The old
school house has been sold by order of the
Council and no provision made for the
Vaughl IN street school, which is to begin on
Monday next, and the Committee are forced TO
find accommodations where they can The
statutes gives the latter the power of decision
on the plans of new buildings and as the
Council cut down the school appropriations,
thus hampering the ability of the school Off

conferences and little going back on the

AN UNsoLvED MYsTERY.-The Times says
that last week the workmen engaged in clean
ing out the rubbish and fire wrecks from what
is left of Shaw's block, preparatory to rebuild
ing, found among the ruins the charred bones
of a human skeleton. 1t was evidently the
skeleton of an adult, and, as well as could be
judged from the pelvis bones and the general
conformation, that of female. The greatest
excitement exists among those cognizant of
the discovery, and many coniectures are indulg-
ed in relative to the unfortunate being, who,
apparently, suffered so horrible death. Old
stories relative to the ''goings-on' in the build
ing are brought to mind, and many ingenious
hypothesis built thereon. But as yet there is
no clew to the mystery, and public curiosity is
strained to the utmost. We are not aware that
the police have taken the matter in hand yet,
though it is said that private detectives are
working it up. The Times intimates that the
mystery will soon be cleared up, but its lips are
now closad
