Several days ago the Walnut Street Bank, at
Cincinnati, was robbed during the noon hour
while but one of the cashiers was in the bank.
The thieves were three in number. One of the
party remained in n buggy in the street,
another engaged the cashier in CONVEX
.ation, while a third party passed unnoticed
behind the counter and distracted funds, as it
was at the time 70 vrted, to the amount Of
81 900. On the 18th he bank closed its doors
and made an assignment to Judge P. j, Nal
on. Itnow appears that the thieves got away
with $40, 700, a fact of which the firm W e
cognizont, but kept tho matter a secret to
avoid a rush. They place their liabilities at
500, 900 and say their assets will enable them
to pay dollar for dollar.

An Associated Press dispatch from Quebec,
dated August Is, says: "A ship laborers' So
ciety of strocks two thousand strong marched
through the lower town to-day, intending to
proceed to the Coves. As they entered Cham
plair street, tho stronghold of the Ship La
borers Society, from which the strocksmen had
succeeded, a battle was begun. The French
men being repulsed, the old society men gath
cred in groups and expressed a determination
To keep them out of the streets. Two cannon
were in position at Kincheller's wharf, and ons
at Martins. The men were well armed with
revolver, boat hook, or ax. Blood on the side
walk showed where tho wounded fell. The
men were warned by the Chief Of the Water Po-
lice not to advance, but persisted. While re-
treating after their defeat they turned oc-
casionally to fire upon their nssailants."
When the procession people rallied they went
to Cape Blanc and sacked three houses occupied
by tho Irish. Hardware stores were robbed OF
firearms, and six or seven guns were taken
from n store on Fabrique street. All the shops
in the lower town and on mountain Hill have
their shutters. 1t has been remarked there
were not fifty ship laborer in the whole line Of
the procession. A war Of races seems to have
begun. Pierre Giroux is the only person re-
ported killed, but a dozen men arc known to
be wounded seriously by bullets.
A meeting Of French Canadians was held in
JACQUES Cartier Market Hall in the afternoon,
at the close of which they assembled on the
plains to the number of 800, and all around
with rife, shotgun, and revolver. A rush was
made for the city, and the principal streets OF
the st. Louis suburb were invaded, the crowd
bowling and firing as they ran.

esSO,OOO for A. T.. stewards Body.
Until recently the public have been under
the impression that the body OF A. I. stewart
had been recovered, at the cost Of 10000, as
has boon published. At all events, whether
the public put any credencs in the report or me-
Mrs. Stewart herself did. Present develop
ments, however, indicate that such has not
been tho case. On a Monday in January last
m attorney In New York received a letter con-
tanning 500 as q retainer from q person sign
ing themselves "Romaine with q view to
opening negotiations with Judge Hilton, and q
package Of material that was recognized as hav-
ing been taken from Stewards cofin. Hilton
spurned tho proposition and the matter dropped
for the time being. Later, q firm Of attorneys
in wall-street, Evarts, Southmayd g
Choate, was approached in a similar
manner by the body snatchcrs. They
laid the correspondence before MRS.
Stewart, who, Influenced by Judge Hilton, re-
piled in his language, that the sum Of $2o,ooo
and no more would be paid for the body, but a
larger amount for the arrest Of tho thieves.
The matter dropped again, and seeing the case
was a hopeless one, Judge Hilton has caused
the following to DO inserted in the Herald Of
that city " Canada Counsel desires to commu-
~nicate." 1t is presumed that Hilton will now
nay the amount demanded. 1t appears that
every effort to obtain a clew to the robbers il
bafled- possibly by too much money. After
the body snatchers had sent the attorney Jones
500, they sent him $3.50 more. They seem to
be prepared to buy of detectives. Evidently
$3.50, 900 is a high premium for crime.

Explosion Of n Coal OIL Tank.

A coal oil tank, with q capacity of $4,000
barrels, exploded at Parker, Pa, and for a time
threatened great damage to the town. Five
men were seriously injured.
LArER--The explosion of the first tank was
caused by Lightning striking it. The terrible
heat from it caused the explosion Of four others,
and the destruction of 81, 900 barrels Of oil be-
sides considerable property near the tanks, Tho
fire ragged for three days, the entire side of tho
hill upon which the tanks were located and the
ravine below appearing in one vast sheet oil
seething flames. The town just opposite on the
other bank of the river sustained considerable
damage from tho terrific explosion and for tho
three days of the burning, the heat was SO in
tense that it has been almost impossible for the
residents to withstand exposure to its glare.
The damage is estimated at $50 900.

The difficulty between ex-senator Sprague,
of Rhode Island, and Conkling, of New York,
in which II is reported tho former made tho
latter quit his house at Narragansett Pier, I'M
der shotgun persuasion, seems to grow in its
interest upon the public mind. Sprague has
long had great antipathy for Conkling for his
alleged interference in his family affairs, and
his recent %ill-luck in business, It Is said, has
tended greatly To increase tho animosity
between them. At Washington the widest
rumors prevail scandalizing Conkling
and Mrs. S~praguo, whose indesccnt associa-
tons in public places have long attracted at
tention. Mrs. Sprnguc, who was a daughter .
Salmon P. Chase, has always been regarded as
indiscroet in hor, perhaps, harmless hirtations
and Mr. Conkling, who seemed to possess q
congonial spirit for her, is said to have long
possessed tho same short coming, IL being a
we'll known fact that he and his family do not
lssimilate in any great degree Of Christian har-
mony. All advioes from the most reliable
sources record II as an undeniable fact that
when Sprague returned homo and found Conk-

Lebanon, Pa, has made a confession. 1t de-
tails the feeling among the mountain men for
speculation in life insurance and gives several
cases where old men were murdered in order to
obtain insurance effected on their lives.
Weiss duplicates three or four persons, who will,
no doubt, he brought to trial. Ho admits being
in the original plot to murder Raber by the
use Of chloroform, but says he withdrew from
it and supposed the matter had been dropped
as Drews promised him not to 60 on with tho
