The Great Burglary.

The robbery Of the Manhattan Savings
Bank was, of course, the principal subject
of conversation in the city yesterday. That
SO daring a crime should have been COM
mitted almost under the shadow of Police
Headquarters, and on the most frequented of
all our streets, sent, very naturally, thrill
through the entire community and created
an exceedingly uncomfortable feeling. We
are, unfortunately, somewhat accustomed
to crime in its various phases; but burglary
of the magnitude of that described in our
columns yesterday morning does not occur
many times in generation, and it is not sur
prising that it should have caused some
thing like panic among timid people.
The developments yesterday throw no new
bank and the police appear to be entirely
in the dark as to the identity of the thieves.
The police, it is to be presumed, are en-
deavoring to come up to public expectation
in the fulilment Of their duty. AS to the
bank officers, they sufficiently recovered
their senses yesterday to avail themselves Of
the sixty day act, and, in all probability, to
change the combination Of their vault
and intrust the secret to somebody besides
a janitor whom they have just discovered to
be fool. This, to be sure, is only the
wisdom that locks the stable door after the
visit Of the horse thief; but 1t is something,
and the depositors have the satisfaction of
knowing that the present available property
of the bank-the FIVE hundred dollars worth
of burglars tools which the robbers failed
to carry offs entirely safe. Owing to the
non-negotiable character of the great bulk
Of the securities, and the sound condition
Of the bank, the depositors will suffer no
loss They may have to submit to some in
convenience; but in the nature Of things it
cannot be very great, as the bank ought
to find little or no difficulty in obtaining
whatever moneys may be needed to meet
pressing demands. The lesson of the burg
larry is an obvious one to bank officials and
others having the custody Of valuable prop
erty. The keys Of vaults must be given to
some one, but it is very certain that weak
witted janitors will hardly be their Gus
todians in future. As to the police. we beg
to remind them that the public expects at
their hands the detection of the thieves.
The men who planned and so successfully
carried ont so daring crime are not ordi-
nary criminals, and our detective system
must be bad indeed if they escape arrest.

CHERRY CREEK ITEMS.
A Few NOfas of Interest.

We clip from the Independent of Satur-
day the following items Of interest:
Affairs at the Star mine are generally
looking better. The lower drift on tn
460-foot level, going west, has attained a
distance of 1873 feet, the face showing over
four feet of fine milling ore. The Wine
on the 360-foot level is down G2 feet and
shows a fine vein of rich ore about four feet
wide. The east drift on the 360-foot level
shows streaks of mineral, and the prospect
is good for a body of pay ore in that por-
ton Of the mine. The Star Company's
mill is temporarily shut down for a few
small repairs, but will start tomorrow.
1t is supposed by some that a regular Or
ganized band of horse thieves exist in this
country, and operate between Utah and
Nevada. Suspicious characters have been
seen bringing horses from the East, and
at other times returning with different
ones. Several have been stolen in this dis
trict within the last six months, and us
yet no trace Of them has been found.
The Lookout mine at Ruby Hill has re-
verted to the owners, Messrs. Bird Il Fitz-
hugh, through the failure of Miekie q Co.
to pay the $1,000 for which it was origi-
nally bonded. One year ago Messrs. Bird
Il Fitzhugh were willing to take So, 600 for
the mine, but o placs a value upon it
of $50. 900, the result of developments in
the meantime.
John Blick and family, together with
his son-in-law, has disposed of his property
on Duck Greek to A.. J. Guilford, and will
nov to the State of California.
l. Il. Hand will be out for the County
Assessorship before the Democratic Con
| vention.

The Heated Term.

All old sagebrushers agree that nothing
like the present heated term was ever
known before in Nevada. We have re-
sided in this State continuously for eighteen
years, and to the best of our recollection
we never knew the atmosphere to be so
close as it has been during the last fifteen
days. We have occasionally experienced
warm, sultry days, but there was always a
speedy reaction, the cool, ~invigorating
mountain air supplant ng the furnace-like
blasts from the valleys. The present,
however, is an exception to every rule,
being so far at variance with our usual
delightful Nevada weather that all of us
are put to our trumps to divine a cause.
1t is noticeable that We lave not had
our usual quota of rain this season,
and this may possibly account for the
sweltering heat of the past two weeks.
The most disagreeable and oppressive
thing Of the whole business is the Excess
| sive heat at night. There was never a
| time in Nevada before that n or more
| pairs of blankets were not comfortable
| Not so now a mosquito bar is too niue.
| for ordinary larders. Let us hope that ne
| permanent climatic change has o~vertaken
| our mountain homes, and while so hoping,
| let us all sweat and bear our present roast
| ing as best we may.

MINING NOTES.

The case of Phillipo Print, charged with
murder, occupied the attention of the Dis
trict Court again yesterday. Most of the
day was consumed in the argument Of
counsel. The District Attorney and Messrs.
Bishop & Sabin appeared for the prosecu-
ton, and Messrs. Beatty * Laspeyre for
the prisoner. The case has ELECTED much
interest on the part Of the countrymen Of
the accused, and during the two days Of
the trial the Courthouse has been densely
packed with our Italian population. The
circumstances Of the killing were given in
detail in these columns some months since.
But few il any new facts have been deyel-
oped during the trial. The gist of the
story is that the prisoner had been abused
and maltreated by the deceased until,
reaching a pitch Of mortal fear Of him, he
took his life. Therenpon Print came to
town and surrendered himself to the Off
GERS. The speeches of the attorneys were
all able and we'll directed to the points in
issue. Judge Coles charge was elaborate,
covering all the different phases OF muir
der, and applying the cold law to the case
in hand. At s O'Clock p. NJ. the jury re-
tired TO deliberate upon their verdict, but
up to 2 o'clock this morning they had no
agreed. We were unable TO learn how
they stood. The general impression, how
ever, seemed to be that they would dis
agree until the last.
