Daring Attempt at Highway Robbery Near
the Harvester Works.
daring attempt at highway robbery took
place on the Saltwater road night before last,
which demonstrates that the work of the vii.
famous tramp element, whose depredations
have beoome notorious of late, will not stop
short of murder. The attack was made on Mr..
Keifer, brother of Clerk Keifer, and proprietor
Of the half way house between, this city and
Saltwater.
MIR. Kiefer was driving home about o'clock
in the evening, and had reached a point short
distance beyond the harvester works, when he
was suddenly attacked by three tramps.
One Of the villains seized the horse by the
bride, and his companions attempted to get
into the buggy.
Mr.. Kiefer was armed with a heavy whip,
and, realizing his perilous situation, he dealt
the men several sturdy blows on the head.
They relied back from the shock, and whip
ping his horse, the animal plunged forward ana
broke away from his captor. The men were
soon distanced, and Mr.. Kiefer luckily escaped
without injury.
The men are supposed to be the ones whom
the police have been after for several DAYS, and
it is understood that Capt Clark will take a
posse of men out this morning to look for
them. They are dangerous characters aud no
expense should be spared to collar them.

CHILL AND PERU.

A Chilian Transport Blown Up by Dyna-
mite Launch-Reported Outrages by the
PeruviaDs.
New YORK, Aug. S.-The Star and Herald of
July 22d has story of the loss of the Chiiian
transport Los, in Calloa Bay. Peruvian
officer procuring suitable launch put tor
pedo into it and over this he placed a false
bottom resting on springs kept down by the
weight of the cargo. He then loaded it with a
very choice assortment of fruits. vegetables
and fowls, and towing it towards the block
aiding squadron before daylight, set it adrift.
All day long that launch floated about, but to-
wards o'clock in the evening fearing it would
fall into neutral hands, boat was sent out to
bring it back. The Loa seeing the boat from
shore making towards the neutral line caught
sight of the launch mel and turn;
two boats to fetch in the prize and it was
brought alongside and discharging commenced
As the weight on the launch was diminished
the machinery in connection with the torpedo
was set free and in moment three hundred
pounds of dynamite weie exploded. The Loa
was almost lifted out of the water and appeared
enveloped in mass of flame which resolved
itself into dense clouds of smoke. When
this cleared away the vessel seemed not to
the stern and disappeared. The Chilian block
aiding vessels were too far away to give as
sistance, but ships of war of non-combatanss
quickly lowered boats and picked up about
forty persons struggling in the water, of whom
it is probable many will die. At least $50
men perished. The only officers saved are the
second commander, wounded, the doctor and
one engineer. Every house in Gala was
shaken to its foundation by the explosion and
every ship in the bay shivered as if by a fear
ful earthquake.

ness which preceded dawn on the tenth of last
April, sent in a torpedo launch with the inten-
tion Of blowing up the Union, whose officers
and men were ignorant of the enemy being
within hundreds of miles of them. Had the
Union gone down her two hundred men would
have perished, as those of the Loa, by the secret
blow.
A Lima correspondent says there is an ugly
rumor going about that some men entered Mo-
quegua where the Chil;sns left their sick in
care of the natives and murdered every Gillian

LONDON, Aug. 3.-The World says a mar.

The recent statement to the same effect, which

baroness Will lose a very large portion of her
income-to the extent, it is said, of over one
hundred thousand pounds yearly. THIS is in
accordance with the will of the duchess of st.
Albans, who bequcathed her vast property
to Miss Angela, now Baroness Burdett-Coutts
providing if she married an alien or naturaliz-
ed subject, her interest in Coutts' bank and
other properties shall cease. Bartlett is an
American naturalzed short time since. 1t is
asserted remonstrances against the marriage
engagement from the best friends of the baron
ness and from the highest quarters failed to
have any effect, and the marriage will shortly
take place. The baroness is 66, while Bart
let has not yet completed his 29th year.

The War on the s,gns.

1t is recorded that "a wicked and per-
verse generation seeketh after q sign," and the
saying has all the sanctity of inspiration and
all the merit of antiquity. With very slight
change of phraseology it would be applicable
to the condition of things in st. Paul yester-
day. The wicked and perverse" police, act
ing under the authority of the city council,
were seeking after signs by the hundred, and
found them. Many old familiar, squeaking
and dilapidated specimens Of art that have
met the gaze, and at times excited the fears of
those who have perambulated the streets Of St..
Paul, will be seen no more. Though "lost to
sight," they will remain "to memory dear"
Many of them have done duty for quarter of
a century past, but their day of usefulness is
past. and they have been consigned to back
yards and taken their places among the debris
Of past age. Relics of the olden times, you
will be missed, but it cannot be denied that
you will be more conspicuous by your sb.ence
than you ever were while singing your mourn
full and discordant notes above the heads of
passers-by. The GLOBE bids you loug good
bye, and although it may sound heartless, it
trusts it will never look upon your like again.

THE BENDERs.
STARTLING CONFESSION

FREMONT, Neb., Aug. 3.-There were impor-
tant developments in the Bender matter to-day.
Mrs. Bender made full confession Of all
heinous murders committed on the John Bend
er farm during '72 and '7s. She was widow
when she married MoGregor, alias Bender. who
was widower with four children. They mi
grated from Missouri to Labelle county. Kan,
when under the leadership of Kate. old Johns
daughter, the murders and robberies began.
Mrs. Bender declares she had no personal hand
in these crimes. The first man killed by them
was man named Brown. Very soon after the
first murder two more strangers were killed.
The woman was asked whether
she remembered about a whole FAM
lily being killed, and she said: "Yes do. There
was man and wife and two little girls who
drove up to the house one afternoon and want
ed to spend the night That night while the
man and his wife were at supper they were
dropped through the hole. Kate and the old
man were below. The man fought pretty hard,
but they fixed him. Next day the two children
were buried alive. Old John took one and
Kate the other. They hollered awful, but fin
ally stopped and Kate came IN and said, the
damned brats are all right now" Soon after
this, according to the woman's story, they be-
came frightened and joined the Cherokee or
Choctaw nation. Many further details were
obtained from this woman, and IL these are not
the original Benders the fact can easily be es-
tablished.

LONDON, Aug. S.-The Times says q telegram

harmony with the statement that Gen. Bur-

telligence together We are inclined to believe
the Afghans tried to get into rear of our forces.
The fact that most of the losses are said to
have occurred during what is termed a retreat,
is strong proof the action ended in the utter
route of the force. Though the brigade If not
literally annihilated, it will, owing to wounds,
exhaustion and Decentralization, for the present
add little to Gen. Primrose's strength. The
news that preparations are making for a siege
