| Manhattan Savings Bank building, at the
| corner of Broadway and Beecher streets,
and after Handwriting the %janitor, made
| him, under threats Of instant death, reveal
the combination Of the safe to them, and
deliver up the keys Of the bank. They
ritied the bank of a presumably large
amount Of money, as twenty tin boxes,
| known to have contained bills, were found
on the floor empty. The doors, windows,
and all means Of access from without, were
| found intact, and it was evident that the
| thieves had entered by means of keys.
Dan Kelly, the night Waterman, said he
| left his post at q A. NJ, and aroused the
| ianitor as was his custom, and left the
| building, locking the hall door after him.
The ianltor, Werlel, crea ed an unfavorable
impression on his cross-examination.
LArER.-Tne robbery Of the Manhattan
Savings Dank is the sensation in banking
circles. A notice has been posted in the
bank saying, that for the purpose of pre-
venting loss to depositors, it is ordered
that no payments snail be made without
sixty days notice The surplus of the
bank is more than sufficient to cover any
probable loss that may be sustained by
reason Of the robbery. A great number of
d positors have given the necessary notice.
| TIE Directors were in secret session to-day
1t is said to be the rule for the ~janitors of
bank buildings in this city to have a COM
| binatiof Of the vaults. Every available de-
tective in this city has been assigned to
tae case. The evening Post says: So far
a. can be ascertained, no arrest has BEEN
made yet. Superintendent Walling said
this morning that he could give
no information about the case, and denied
that he protested last night to have a clue
to the robbers, and if he had one he would

man are at the bank to-day helping to
s%traighten out matters. Augustus Sehell,
Democratic candidate for Mayor, and
brother Of the President, says that the
bank will have a surplus OF $50 900 if all
in coupon bonds stolen were counted as
lost. Great crowds continued all the
morning around the bank. The robbers
left behind a skeleton key, and three pairs
Of handouts. OF the forty or fifty boxes
stored away, about twenty had been opened
and their contents r.fied. 1t IS possible
that the mount taken may be more than
three million dollars, since the contents Of
a number of tin boxes containing gold coin
and Government bonds, with which the
sides of the vault were lined, have disap-
peared.
Limitation of the Coinage of silver
Dollars.
New YORK, October %.
The Times Washington special says |
1t is authoritatively stated that Sherman
will, in his next annual report. recommend
the limitation of the coinage of silver dol
lars. TIT statement was confirmed by the
Secretary in his speech at the Cumberland
Fair, upon which occasion he said: The
coinage of So. eea. 900 monthly OF silver
dollars of full legal tender is a disturbing
element which we can now compute. We
can only hone that before its issue is
greatly increased Congress will either limit
its amount or make it contain enough sill
yer to be equal in value to gold" Sher-
man attitude on this question Is lmpor-
tant, in view Of the report that a combina-
ton Of silver bullion holders is nov form
ing. having for its object the agitation OF a
free coinage act during the next session.
As Sherm4n's views are doubtless shared
by the President, q veto of any such scheme
is certain.
