solsefs At His Head tho Clerk Opens the

Alarm.

A most audacious robbery was committed
on Tuesday night at Bass Lake, . station
some twelve miles distant from St. Paul on
the st. Paul, Saltwater & Taylor's Falls rail
road. About nine o'clock of the evening
named, two men entered the store of j. 81.
Lehman Bros, there situated, at q time
when no one was in the place except youth
full clerk. Drawing their revolvers, the men
demanded the clerks money, who replied he
had none. They then riled the till OF some
800, and compelled the clerk to open tho
safe. The bold villains were in the very oct
of laying their predatory digits upon
pocket-book in the safe containing some
500, when the door of the store opened,
and in walked John Lehman. His entrance
SO completely alarmed the thieves that they
incontinently left the well-lined wallet and
started away preGpitately. Ono Of thsm
made a clean jump through the rear win
dow of the store, carrying the sash with
him in his flight. The other, with greater
presence of mind and infinitely greater dar-
ing, calmly drew his revolver, covering the
retreat of his companion, and, seeing no
sign of resistance, quietly put up his weapon
and walked forth. All this time John Lob
man stood dazed and irresolute. He had
revolver upon his person, and yet neither
attempted to use it nor offered to seize tho
robber after he had pocketed his pistol. Az
far as heard, too, no effort was made
to arouse the neighborhood, although there
were nearly twenty men residing in various
directions within radius of quarter of a
mile from the store. The robbers, there
fore, got clear away. Nor were the authori-
ties informed of the circumstances until
past eight o'clock yesterday morning, after
the morning train had departed for st. Paul
from Saltwater, when the chief Of police of
the latter city was given . very imperfect
description of the facts and of the robbers.
By about one o'clock, Sheriff johnson, of
Washington county, became cognizant Of tho
case, and started after the thieves under tho
disadvantages of long stern chase, and
very incomplete means of identifying tho
thieves.
Both men were between Is and 80 years
of age. One of them was fair in complex
ion, was dressed in light clothes, weighed
about 14O pounds, was from five feet eight
inches to five feet ten inches in height, and
had red moustache closely trimmed. Tho
other was dark in complexion, wore dark
clothes, weighed about l6O pounds, was five
feet ten inches to six feet in height, and had
dark, full beard. Both were armed with
small revolvers. The men may yet be iden-
titled by the money they purloined, as some
of the coins were peculiarly marked. Tho
police of this city have been notified by
Sheriff johnson, who came over last even

The chair appointed Senators Window, Dor

the bill for temporary clerks in the treasury
department.
At expiration of the morning hour consider
alton was resumed of the unfinished business
being the railroad funding bill, and Senator
Booth spoke in favor of the bill of the judici-
airy committee.
Before Senator Booth took the floor, Senator
Thurman proposed an amendment to be offered
at the proper time, providing that the bonds
purchased for the sinking fund shall be 80
stamped as not to be transferable.
At the conclusion of Senator Booths re-
marks, Senator Thurman said, owing to the
sickness of some and the absence of other
Senators, he would not insist on vote to-day
but would ask the Senate to dispose of this bill
tomorrow. He was willing, however, to have
a vote taken the substitute reported by
Senator Matthews, without another word from
his side.
Senators Paddock and Chaffee urged delay
until the substitute offered by the latter could
be printed and laid before the Senate.
Senator Thurman said he had looked into the
bill enough to know that he could never accept
it as substitute for the bill, for it sought to
tie the pro rata proposition Of Senators to this
bill. He thought the question should stand
alone and he should not consent to coupling
the two in one bill. The substitute also con-
tanned the provisions of the railroad COMMITTEES
bill providing that the government should pay
the reads compound interest on its own money.
The debate was continued by Senators
Dawes Edmunds and Sargent.
Senator Matthews was recognized az entitled
to the floor tomorrow, and the Senate adj
