Outrage by Harvest Hands in Washing
ton County, Ill.

From the Springfield Ql.) Register, Juiy7.
1t now appears that the harvest hands
have formed union, got up rules, and
are proceeding to take part IN the strife of
labor against capital. Yesterday FIVE of
these tramps entered harvest field near
Nashville, Washington county, drove out
the hands at work, broke the implements
and trampled down the grain. The cause
of this outrage was shat the men at work
were charging only 81 per day, which is
less than the union men" had agreed to

san Francisco, September 2. The election re-
turns from the interior are coming in very slowly.

Nothing is yet known as to the election in this
city, though manJ consider the Clayton ring ahead

No money has been spent on the election. It
will be impossible to speculate on the result before

The city election returns indicate close fight
for mayor, between Clayton and Bryant It may
require an official count to decide. The State Is
conceded to Irwin and the dem. ticket By . large
plurality. Later indications are that Wigginton
leads Houghton for congress, in the 4th district.

Louisville, September 2. The Planters Nation
al Bank OF this city was robbed of large amount
of money this morning, about daybreak. The
teller of the bank, Louis Ream, was discovered
near the bank on his way to the police station. He
could hardly speak at first, but after while in
formed the detectives that three men had taken
him from bed during the night, proceeded to the
bank and forced him to deliver the keys with
which they opened the safe and distracted the
money. Rehm alleges that he chloroformed
and stabbed in the side, where there is slight
wound.
The bank officials refuse to give any infornia-
ton regarding the affair, further than that the de-
postors will will lose nothing The amount stol-
en- is believed to be nearly 100000.
LATER.
Detective Bligh was notified and took charge of
Rehm. The preceding story was related to Bligh
who regarded it as very weak and had him locked
up at the hotel. The directors of the bank met
and after consultation came to the conclusion that
Rehm's story was fraud and he the robber. The
President so informed him, but Rehm asserted his
innocence time and again. Being told that they
regarded him as the robber, he asked for an hours
sleep. He retired for that space of time and on
awakening confessed to the detectives that he had
robbed the safe before II o'clock the preceding
night, carrying its contents home and buroing
them under the house. An examination by the
detectives revealed all the money tied in a small
sheet under the gymnazum in the rear of Rehm's
residence.
Rehm was arrested and is now in jail. Previous
to the robbery Rehm was regarded as honest as
any one in the bank Why he took the money in
the manner described is unaccountable, as he
well knew no one would believe the story: lie
says himself he does not know why he TOOK the
money, and now realizes the improbabty OF
being taken from bed as was related
Parade.
The trade parade this morning was the largest
ever held in this city. The procession was six
miles long and occupied two hours in passing
given point. The fire department, military socie-
ties and the manufacturing interests Of the city
were represented.
