which was found to fit and was put by
for use. This attempt also failed for
want of time, but an entrance to the
vault, containing the safes, was effect
ed. Eight months later negotiations
were again opened with the watchman
Slevin. Finally the job was put up for
Sunday morning the 9th of October,
and in it were Jimmy Hope, Kelly and
Dobbs, together with the night watch
man Slevin. 1t was thought Slevin
would have charge of the bank that
night but an accident frustrated it.
The gang resolved, however,
to carry out their plans after the night
watchman had left and day watchman
came on. How well it was carried out
every one knows and nearly $4,000, 900
were carried away. Kelly stood guard
over the manacled janitor. He gave
them the combination to the safe, being
in mortal terror of his life. The de-
tectives went hard to work and after a
long search John Dobbs and the young
er Hope were arrested. Watchman
Slevin was shadowed early and late and
was found drinking hard and spending
money lavishly. He was arrested a
few days ago and finally confessed the
plot to Capt. Byrnes, and Kelly was
arrested on his return from Jerome
Park.
Slevin says that each member of the
gang was assessed 5000 after getting
their money shared, which was sent to
Washington to defeat the bill intro
duced in congress, to duplicate stolen
bonds, as, if it passed, it would be
difficult to negotiate the originals.
Meanwhile the various town bonds
stolen were negotiated and Slevin got
50, 1000 as his share therefrom, and jim
my Hope went to Washington to have
the bill stopped. Kelly, when arrested,
denied his guilt, but when confronted
with Slevin he burst out into fit Of
swearing and said: "The bank had to
pay dividend on June 1st and to do it
it would have to come terms and settle
u.s." There are three more members
of the gang yet at large, but they are
known and will soon be arrested. The
trial of the younger Hope will begin
Wednesday.

panama Pandemonium.

Panama, June 2.-The sessions of
the house here have been characterized
by the most disgraceful disorder. The
people in the galleries openly expressed
their contempt and hatred of certain
members, whose hostility against the
executive has been most marked, and
those members increased the disorders
by making the most impassioned at
tacks against the president of the re-
public. The populace replied with vol
leys of stones, and the members used
their revolvers in turn. Things got to
such pass that Gen. Trujillo with a
battalion of Columbian guards cleared
the galleries, adjourned the session and
escorted the members home.

A Polygamist Sentenced.

Salt Lake, June 2.-Judge Emerson
to-day sentenced John Miles, ,polygamist,
to pay fine of 800, and to be confined
in the Nebraska penitentiary for five
years. During the proceedings Miles
impertinently requested not to be lec-
tured, and asked no mercy of the court.
This case has attracted unusual atten-
tion from the fact of its being the
second conviction under the laws of
the United States, and that Miles had
married three young women with the
advice and consent of John Taylor,
president of the Mormon church. An
appeal has been taken to the supreme
court of the territory. The bond has
been fixed at 5000.

CYCLONES CAPERS.
How Kansas Towns Were Destroyed
Destruction of Life and Property.

st. Louis, June 2.-No additional
particulars of Friday evenings cyclone
in Marshal county, Kansas, were re-
ceived to-day, but report comes from
Brookville, Kansas, at least rs miles
southwest of Irvine, the town where
the most destruction took place, that a
most terrific wind storm passed over
the country northwest of there on Fri
day afternoon, doing great damage to
property and killing several people. A
cyclone also struck the outer edge of
Kirksville,. Mo-, on Friday evening, de-
molished about u dozen houses, badly
damaged several others, and severely
injured several persons, one woman be-
ing reported killed. A very high wind
also prevailed north and northeast of
st. Joseph, Mo. A grain elevator at
Hopkins, Mo-, was destroyed, several
small dwellings, barns, ETC., were blown
down, and grain elevator at Craig,
station ON the X. c., st. 10. & c. b.
railroad, was destroyed. Considerable
damage was done to other buildings.
Trees were uprooted and fences and
barns blown down all along the line of
the storm. 1t is not unlikely that these
storms had common origin out on the
plains in western Kansas, that some
local cause broke the original cloud in
to fragments, and that the separate
storms were formed from them, one Of
which traversed the northern tier of
counties in Kansas, another Travelled
eastward, striking the earth in Jackson
county, Mo-, thence moved northeast
to Kirksville and beyond, and a third
and the weakest one of the three,
passed over the country in the neighbor-
hood of st. Joseph.
A heavy rain fell last night, and to-
day the temperature is quite cold, re-
quiring fires for comfort. Heavy rains
have prevailed all over the central,
southwestern and northwestern parts
of the state, greatly benefitting the
wheat, corn and other crops.

Repuhlican Caucus.

Washington, June 2.-The republic
can members of the senate assembled
in caucus this afternoon, in response to
a call issued at the request of few
senators who desired caucus action
concerning Bayard's bill to repeal Sec
tions 800 aud S21 Of the revised statutes.
The first of these sections prescribes
the jurors test oath. There was a
practical unanimity of opinion in the
caucus that this section should be re-
pealed. The other section authorizes
judges of United States courts to exer-
else their own discretion in regard to
the challenges of persons drawn as jur-
ors who have participated in the rebel
lion. The opinion of the caucus was
that this section had never been abused,
and is not likely to be, and therefore it
should stand.
No other question was brought before
the caucus,

colored Men Answered.

Richmond, June 2.-Judge Christian,
Of the Hastings county court, to-day
gave his answer to the petition Of the
committee of colored citizens asking
him to summon as jurors all persons en-
titled to serve, and whose names may
appear upon all poll books, without any
discrimination between white men and
black men on juries. Judge Christian,
in his answer, says he has given the
matter calm and deliberate considera-
ton. He concurs fully in the reasons
given by his predecessor, the late Judge
Guigon, for refusing to grant the petit
tion asking that in cases where colored
persons are accused of crime they be
tried by colored jurors who could read
and write.
