Attempted I.ank Robbery.

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 9.-An attempt
was made this morning to rob the vault
of the Baltimore savings bank. Four
men entered the treasurer's room where
several customers of the bank
were, and one engaged the
attention of the treasurer bv
asking about investments, holding in his
hand several L. S. bonds. Another
walked back towards the vault in the
rear apartment, but his movement was
observed by one of the clerks who fol.
lowed and arrested him in front Uf the

DB4RoIT Michigan, September o.
Latest information from the forest fires
in Tuscola, Sanilac and Huron counties
proves that the towns of Bad Axe, For.
est Bay, Richmondville, Charleston,
Anderson, Drcckcrsviile, Harrisonville
and Sundusky have been totally destroy
ed and Minden partly so. The present
estimate of lives lost is placed at 500
Near Minden, in Sanilac county, over
200 persons are known to have been
burned TO death. The dead bodies for the
most part unacceptable, are being
brought into Sandusky from all direc-
lions.
1t is impossible this early 10 secure
anything like complete list of the
dead. Rev. z. Grevell, pastor of the
First Baptist church in this city, who
was IN Sanilac county at the time of
the fire, saw fourteen dead bodies
brought into Sand Beach. They were
simply blackened and shapeless mass
and in only Il few cases could the age or
sex be determined. In some places he
saw entire families reduced 10 indistin-
guishable heaps of roasted and blacken-
ed blocks of flesh. Near Dicko rsonville
Rev. W. f. Arlington found sixteen
dead bodies. Around Lexington those
known To have persisted arc Hum
phrcy, the stage driver, Mrs. Frank Den
nison, child and sister, Paul Welzel,
wife and five children, James Gibson
and two sisters. In Paris township,
John Flywager and wife with their sew
en- children, and fifteen unknown per
sons. Fuller details and most appall-
ing reports are expected as soon as the
roads are passable and messengers can
arrive.
DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 9.-SpeciaIs to
the Evening News show that the crisis
in Huron and Sanilac counties has ar
rived, but sickening details are coming
in. A despatch from Marlett reports
125 families burnt out at the lowest esti-
mate in the towns of Marlctt. Flyn,
Argyle, Evergreen, Moore, Lamotte and
Elmer, and 81 persons are known to be
dead. Fires on burnt district are mostly
subsiding and the Inhabitants are sitting
about the ruins of their homes, many
with their eyes burnt out and otherwise
horribly distigured. They are disconso-
late and almost hereft of their senses.
Many persons are still missing in the
burned district, and the exact loss of
life cannot be known for some days. 1t
is said that - dead have been found in

There is nothing in the history of
Missouri to indicate that there is any
Legislative provision in that state against
train robberies and general outlawry,
but it is stated, we believe, upon COM
petent authority, that there is law
in existence there which contemplates
the regulation of such indulgences. Be
that as it may, it is quite apparent that
public sentiment in that state is strong
ly against the enforcement of such a
measure, and it is therefore the obvious
duty of the people of Missouri to de-
mand the immediate repeal of law
which seems to be dead letter on the
statute books, and therefore excites in
vi1iOus comment at the hands of the
press outside of the state. to say nothing
of its possible effect upon the important
interest of immigration. Mean
while, as some considerable length
of time most necessarily elspse before
the legislature can take action in this
matter, it might not be bad scheme for
Governor Crittenden to ''catch on" TO the
unique suggestion of Father Baker, of
the Topeka Commonwealth, who, by a
process of logic for which he has taken
out letters of patent. assumes that the
most effective manner of securing the
repeal of an obnoxious law is by its rig

New York Tribune: The Virginia

New York Tribune: The Virginia
Bourbons are Growing very loudly, hut
there are evidences that they do not feel
half as confident OF success as they pre-
tend TO. They have been boasting of
their ability to sweep the state by a
large majority, yet now they admit
frankly that they are in danger of los
ing the legislature. Their great trouble
is the same as their brethren in Missis-
sippi are harrassed with, namely, that all
the negroes are going to vote, and. what
is more to the purpose, are going to have
their votes counted. There is little talk
about negroes voting the Democratic
ticket either. They are all going TO
vote for the party which is in favor of
having their votes counted. This is why
the Southern elections of this year are so
extremely interesting. There is likely
to be full vote, free ballot and fair
count" for the first time in many years.

Mr., Hendricks, of Indiana, still broOds
over his disaster of 1876. His sOErow
over his failure of that year is perhaps
augmented by his heartless slaughter
in the house of his friends in the sum-
mer of 1880. In a recent interview he
is accredited with petulently remarking,
during conversation upon the situation
in 1876: 81 waited, expecting Tilden
would confer with me. but he never did
so. l think Governor Tilden, on that
day when Chandler sent his defiant mes
sage that Tilden and Hendricks had not
been elected, ought to have expressed

self as elected and meant to maintain
the authority of the majority. Had 1
been the candidate at the head of the
ticket should have done just that and
there would have been no contention
either"

Curious Phenomena.

Boston, Sept. 6.-From early this
morning to sunset the atsmosphere has
been in the most curious condition, ex-
citing much comment, and IN some in

up into the sky has appeared TO be free
from fog or moisture, the sun has been
totally obscured. The atmosphere is
prevailed with a yeliowish light, which
lends strange appearance 10 every

most unnatural appearance, its Iivid

Authentic Account OF Ger. Custer's
lsaath.

The Milwaukee SentiI.eFs special cores.
pondentat Miles City, Montana Territory,
telegraphs sensational story in the shape
of statement by Rain in.the- Face, the
Indian chief who killed Gen. Custer in
the memorable Indian fight of June, 1876.
From that tlay to this there has been mys.
terry hanging about the affair, from the
| fact that not q man Of Gen. Custers little
band escaped death to tell the story Of
their fate, and the historian has no other
source form which to fill the page than
the Horrible imagination which clustered
around the dead and mutilated bodies of
the gallant commander and his troops,
heightened by the memories of the
amouldering ruins ofthe Indian village,
to capture which they paid the penalty of
their recklessness with their lives.
While the correspondent was in the
merchandising house of Mr.. j. J. Graham
at Fort Keogh, three Indian chiefs, Rain.
in-the-Face, Two. Roads and Spotted
Eagle, who surrendered to Gen. Miles
last spring, came in as their custom, be-
ing encamped only two miles away, On
the Tongue River, for the purpose of
conversation with Mr.. William NJ. Courte-
nay, the clerk. and interpreter nf
:he establishment, in whom .he
Indians religiously believe. MI. Cour,e-
nay was reading Whittaker's life of
Custer, and in turning the leaves
of the book, one of the Indians caught
sight of his own picture, which he eimme-
diately recognized. They then took the
book from Mr.. Courtenay and found all
their portraits. but exhibited very little
emotion of pleasure or otherwise until
one of Gen. Custer WAS revealed.
At this Rain in.the.Face became
greatly excited, going through with all
the gyrations of the war-dance, aud Civ
ing the Sioux waT.hoop at the top of his
voice. After he had got through with
his Wild demonstration, but still exhibits
ing the greatest anger, he struck the
| picture with his f.ld, and. with a domo.
MAC sneer on his tace, exclaimed ia ..le
Sioux tongue: 81 killed him. I made
many holes in him. He once took my
liberty. took his life. am glad /
did" On being told by bystander
that Gen. Custer was still living, Rein-in-
| the.Face became very violent, aud hlssed
between his teeth: "Yonr tongue is
forked,s which is the Sioux figure for
"you lie"
Continuing he said; ~ visited his
body after the battle. cut him open.
I ate q part of his liver. 1 am glad I
