Fight with Bank Robbers,

SAN FRANCISCO, July IL At Marys-
vile to-day bold attempt was made to
rob the bank of Decker & Jewett. Frank
Whipple, one OF the robbers, entered the
bank and presented a pistol at Jewett's
head. Jewett fell down and made his
way to the desk where Mr. Bingham, the
chief clerk, was writing. Whipple leaped
over the counter followed by Bingham,
who instantly shot Whipple in the neck.
A desperate and general fight ensued.
Several shots were fired when the com
batants dubbed their pistols. Finally
Whipple turned to run out of the bank
when Bingham and Jewett Simultaneous
ly fired upon him with double barreled
shot guns, and he fell MORALLY wounded
upon the sidewalk. Whipple says he had
two confederates, named John Tory and
w. P. Winkley. They escaped, and of
fcers and citizens are pursuing them.
Whipple is shot through the body in many

A Horrible Death.

N. Y, IA. The finding of Miss Willet's
rat eaten body in 87th street, occasions no
little excitement in the neighborhood.
The intolerable stencil coming from the
house first led the neighbors to institute a
search. She owned considerable real es-
tate, and had lived entirely alone, being
occasionally visited by her nephew and a
few other persons.
Byron A. Slief, nephew of Miss Char
lotte Willets, whose body was found in
the house in 87th street last night in a
horrible state of decomposition, appeared
at the coroner's Office to-day and said that
he first heard of her death this a. M The
deceased had brought him up from child
hood. She was executrix of his fathers
estate. She was of eccentric habits, never
left her home during the day time, and
refused to have any servants or any one
else reside in the house with her.

prettily. She used to 90 to work every

weeks ago, when she did her work at
home, and took it over in parcels when
finished. She never had friend call or
received letter. We never saw her as
soeiate with any one. She spoke of her
relations, but her story was false, as we
have learned since. She said her father
lived at Trenton, N. j., and that she in
tended to visit him on the 4th of July,
and we expected her to go, but she didn't.
She used to bring her meals to her rooms
and eat there. Some bread, pickles, ETC.,
were found by the police yesterday.

down for hot water or anything, we
would ask her to eat with us which she
did. | should Judge she is from twenty

Disastrous Fire.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July 10.
At three O'Clock to-day fire was dis
covered in an alley near the Bridge Street
House, in a barn located on Kent street
and it being very dry and high wind
blowing within very few minutes the
entire structure was sheet OF flame
Notwithstanding the tiremen were early
on the ground the flames soon got beyond
their control and spread in all directions,
consuming everything in its way from
Bridge street up to Trowbridge, and from
Canal to Division streets, except the
buildings fronting the south on Bridge
street and west on Canal street, A Gays
furniture warehouse, Rice & Teanee's
Touring mill and two or three adjoining
buildings on the south. A quantity OF
lumber on lot next to the Ohio House
was all that was burned on Canal street
About 20 acres of ground was burned
over, and 200 buildings consumed. The
loss cannot be less than $300,0OO 1t is
impossible as yet to give the amount OF
insurance, but it will approximate 5000, =
900. The fire is entirely under control
and no further damage is possible.

The Lewiston Journal declines to ex-
plain in regard to Mr.. Dingley's position
on the capital punishment question. We
are sorry for this, because the candidate
tor such position as that of Governor of
Maine, should have no concealment to
make of his opinion in respect to any line
of public policy. There surely can be
nothing which touches the interests of
the people more than the protection OF
their lives from the midnight assassin.
Other losses may be recovered. The
dwelling which the torch of the incendiary
has laid low, may be rebuilt The ship
which piracy has sunk may be replaced.
The reputation which SANDER and malice
have blasted, may be revived by living
down the falsehood. But for the lives of
the loving wife and the helpless little
ones which the murderer has quenched,
there is no other earthly existence. Only
the mounds in the churchyard, the nod
ding flowers in summer, and the snowy
shroud Of winter, tell that innocent hui
man lives have gone out in blood for the
base and pitiful motive of revenge or
gain. As the crime of the murderer is
awful, so has the law made his punish
ment.
The Portland Press announces that Mr..
Dingley is an opponent of capital punish
date wlthholds any explanation, the pub
lie will accept the statement of the Press
AS the correct one. Let it be understood,
therefore, that if Mr.. Dingley shall be
elected, the reddest handed murderer will
not suffer the penalty of the law.

An extraordinary income must be de-
rived by intormers and officials about the
New York custom house, to Judge by the
number of cases OF alleged fraud on the
revenue that have been compromised of
late. The New York Evening Post men
tlons three heavily importing sugar houses
caught in the tolls, from one of which the
Government claimed $75, 900 and accepted
$25, 900; from another $45 900 and took
$7 900, and from the third, of which it
demanded 1926, 0OO it received $50 900
and was satisfied. Another, dry goods
house, was prosecuted for an alleged
fraud OF $4,000, and escaped by paying
$4,000. In all these cases, custom Off
Gals, who go UNPUBLISHED, are charged
with having aided in the fraud. But it
may reasonably be questioned whether
connlvance at a false invoice is worse than
compromising crime; and it is difficult
to see in what other light we can consider
the action of these government officers
Ii the importers have been guilty of fraud
on the customs, the law provides the
penalty, and by allowing them exemption
on payment of sum sufficient to cover
fees and moieties, premium is set on
crime. If, on the other hand, the import
ers are innocent, as the action of the Gus
tom house would seem to imply, it is
simply extortion to compel them to pay
for the privilege of being let alone. There
is another case. of lace importing house,
where the fraud is estimated at So SOC, 900,
which will afford an admirable opportun-
ity for profit OF plumber, under the same
system. 1t is not strange that the customs
officers prefer to keep these doings quiet,
smothering them in the hands of special
agents.
