THE KEWAUNEE BANK ROBBERY
Confession of One of the Robbers
He ImPlIca ates Cashier Pratt.

CHICAGO, August 30.-Edward N. Welsh,
who was arrested three or four days ago at
McDonough, New York, for robbing the
First National Bank of Kewaunee, Illinois,
passed through this city this evening en-
route for Kewaunee, in charge OF the detec-
tlges who arrested him.
The reporters for the press were not al
lowed TO see him, but to detective agency
which has charge of this case It is said he
made confession which, in effect, is that
DR.. j. s. Scott, of st. Louis. but
formerly resident of Kewsunee, planned
the robbery, though he took no direct part
in It; that Pratt, the acting cashier of the
bank, was party TO Il; that instead of the
large sum in gold missing being carried
away il valise with the other
moneys, it was Pratt himself who
carried 1t off the previous day, when he
(Welsh) and bis companion locked Pratt
and Miss Harris in the vault and carried
away the remainder, mostly in paper money.
Welsh refuses to give the name of the men
who helped him IN the Job, but the detec
tives are confident they will get the right
man.
Welsh says DR.. Scott introduced him to
Pratt, and that some time after Pratt paid a
check drawn on the bank by Welsh. When
It was discovered it was thought to
he the result OF Pratt's Ignorance.
Welsh had no money in hank. Scott is
said to be chiefly known in Kewaunee as
poker player. The agency here received
9dvices to-day OF the arrest of Scott in st.
Louis. He is to be brought here.

RUMORED INDIAN RAID.
Twenty Wer, Women and Children
Murdered by Apaches.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 3O.-A dispatch
from Calabasas, Arizona, says a band of
unknown Apaches raided that valley early
this evening, and it is rumored have killed
men, women and children, numbering
twenty in all. They have taken all the
ranches from Calabasss to the Mexican line,
and people are coming into Calabasas for
safety.
Juh's band have crossed the line into
Arizona. 1t is believed that It is he who is
raiding the settlement. Captain Madden,
commanding at Fort Huschuaca, is in pur-
suit of the Indians who have been raiding
the Santa Cruz valley.
The killing Of Martinez and his family
yesterday occurred only fifteen miles south
OF the point where took place the tragedies
reported from Calabasas.
A dispatch from the Huachuaca CORE
| spondent Of the Tombstone (Arzona) EDi-
tdph states that courier from Santa Cruz
| gives an account Of the killing of three per
| sons by Indians, and of a general raid OF
hostiles in the valley.
A company Of cavalry was sent from that
| post to investigate the story.
The Apaches attacked a party of three
| American miners and two Mexicans
| twenty five miles south of Fropteras.
| Sonora, on Tuesday of last week.
| One man named George Riehenstahl was
| killed, Payson Barnes was wounded, and the
| others entrenched themselves behind q
wagon and held the savages in check for
| several hours. The hostiles retired at night,
/ and the miners returned to Fronteras. Col.
Flores and forty Mexican troops are pursu-
| ing the savages.

ENORMOUS RECEIPTS.
Uncle SAm's August Income $1,000
Minute.

A Washington letter states that the gov
ernment receipts for the present month bids
fair to be the heaviest for any August In the
past fifteen years, and to strengthen the
prediction that the years surplus will be
$500, QUO, 600. Already this month the receipts
are more than were those of the entire
month of August last year. Up to the 25th
instant they were in round numbers $37,-
600, 900. At this rate the receipts for the
month will be over $45, ,OO0,O 900, or an aver
age of a million and half per day, includ-
ing Sundays; or following it down further,
$50 600 per hour, or $1,000 minute, wax
ing and sleeping. A very prominent Con-
gresham from Massachusetts, said to your
correspondent, in speaking of the wonder
ful income of the government:
"No civilized country ever had such an
experience. Think of til Our money is
actually coming in so fast that 1t is be
coming dangerous to US, and we are unable
TO stop its coming. Other countries are at
loss to know how to increase their in.
come, we are troubled to know how to
lessen ours"
The expenditures of the government this
month has been unusually large because OF
the many calls under the appropriations OF
the late Congress. They have been coming
In at q rapid rate, and the officials in charge
OF the disbursement Of money say that the
number or vouchers and orders to be met
this month is greater than in any preceding
month, for many years at least. The crush, y
however, will soon be over. NotWithstand.
ing the fact, however, that the demands
have been unusually heavy the receipts fol-
the month will exceed the expenditures BY
about SIS, 900. 900. The expenditures up tc
date have been $22, SOC, 900, which is in
excess of the expenses for the entire month
Of August last year.
The surplus of this months receipts indi
Gates that the next bond call will be for al
least SIS, ,0OO,0 900. When that will take place
however, is difficult to say. / asked Secre
tarY Folger about it tO-day, and he replied
that he could not tell much about It Just
now.
'You see," he said, 81 can't tell whai
bonds to call now. Under this exchange
plan 1t is probable that many Of those which
l would have otherwise called have beer
offered for exchange, and l see no way now
but to wait until the numbers OF those offer,
ed are known, so that in making the call
may not include those. We have plenty ot
money on hand, but don't see how it will
be possible to make the call for some time
yet"
This leads to the further reflection that nc
limit has vet been fixed for the time IL
which bonds may be sent in for exchange
and 1t is not probable that by reason of this
fact that the call may be postponed until
the middle of September.

A Talk With Governor Sprague-
Why He Holds the Fort.

A reporter of the New York Sun had an
interview with Ex-Governor Sprague at
Canonchet Sunday. When asked why he
refused Trustee Chafee admission to the
premises, he said that the title 10 the
premises is in dispute, independent Of what
claims the Spragues have to 1t. The recent
sale was made by no Sheriff and on no exc
cution, and was simply private sale made
at the mere option Of trustee who is not
and never was in possession Of the pro-
perty. The trustees title Is denied, and
the case is still pending in the court. Mr..
Sprague declared that Trustee Chafee's at
tempts to sell the property under the great
disabilities, receiving ruinOus prices for it,
are outrageous, and II the sales are allowed
to stand the creditors Of the estate will not
get one-half of the amount offered for the
property at private sale. "Those who buy
this title to Canonchet'' he added, "will
suffer the loss of all their payments" Mr..
Sprague says he is in all respects acting
under the advice of his counsel. 'sMy rea-
son." said MIR. Sprsgue, "for defending Ca
nonchet was that because, when Mr.. ThOmD-
son and Mr.. Chsfee attempted to
get in here two or three years ago, they
threatened to come at any rate and drive me
out by force, and knowing that Mr.. Chafee
had sufficient force and disposition TO
effect their object, simply obstructed him
to deter him and prevent an alteration"
He added that II Mr.. Chafee had attempted
to come in the grounds he would have been
summarily dealt with. Mr. Sprague further
claims that the attachment and sale previ-
ouslY made by the United States Marshal
invalidates the sale OF Canonchet recently
made to Mr.. F. D. Moulton, and he pro-
poses to continue to defend the place, not
anticipating trouble from the court, as he
"does not see what the court has got to do
with the matter until other legal steps are
taken"

THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS.
Mr.. Wilson Concludes His Plea for
she Defendants.

WASHINGTON, August 9O.-Mr. Wilson, Of
counsel for the defense, continued his argu-
ment in the star route cases to-day. He
insisted that produciveness was not an
important consideration in the extern
sion of postal facilities. The devel-
opment Of the resources Of
the country was of far more
consequence. He quoted from the testimony
and repetitions of Secretary Teller, Gen.
Sherman and others to show that they had
asked and advised expedition on various
routes, and said that If Gen. Brady was q
robber and rogue for ordering such expe-
dition Sherman and Teller were robbers and
rogues for asking It.
Turning to the question OF direct fraud,
he said 1t must be presumed that every act
done within the law was done with proper
motive. Corruption must be proved, and the
prosecution had not attempted to prove it
except by the testimony of Walsh.
Mr.. Wilson then reviewed Walsh's state
ments at great length and endeavored to
show that thew were improbable and untrue.
He defended Brady from the charges made
against him, and replied to Mr.. MerrIck's
assertion, that Brady had on a small salary
grown suddenly wealthy, and In conclusion
SAID: 81 make no appeal for
mercy. That is not my mission
before this jury. My mission is to see that
the law is not violated. l make no appeal for
sympathy, but l do appeal to you to stand
by the law and be guided by the evidence.
II you 90 that, as l am sure you will,
have en- abiding faith that your verdict will
be for these defendants"
The court then adjourned Mr.. Henkle
will address the jury tomorrow.

HubbelI at Home.
NeI0 York Herald

Assessor Hubbell appears to be in even
worse odor among the people of his own
State than in other parts of the country
where he is not less notorious, but is
known at longer range. The Democrats
of Michigan, who have fused with the
Greenbackers, declared in their State
Convention on Wednesday that ''pOliti-
cal assessments or forced contributions
from public officers should be made
felony by law" This is a proposition to
make Hubbell's business the same grade
of crime as highway robbery. The con-
ventiOn also denounced, without dis
tinction of party, all who voted in Con-
gress for the iniquitous river and harb0r
blll"-of whom Hubbell, of course, is one.
AS the Democrats and Greenbackers
polled about forty-eight per cent. of the
total vote of Michigan in 1880 these
resolutions of the convention may be
taken as voicing the sentiments Of at
least nearly half the people of the State.
And yet Hubbell is spending the money
forced out of the needy janitors and
scrub women in the public service in try
ing to get himself elected to represent
that people in the United States Senate.

ton with this, 1 do not think any one of

sent him politically"
fDo you believe that under any circum-
stances Mr.. Tilden himself would accept the
nomination ?"
al do not. l am informed by those who
are in a position to know that his health is
such that it would be hazardous for him to
undertake the fatigue and excitement of the
canvass"
SsWbo do YOU think will secure the nomi-
nation on the part of the Republicansg'
With a smile, Mr.. Kelly replied that he
was not sufficiently familiar with the inside
workings of Republican politics to give his
opinion on that point any value.
81 do not think, though" he continued,
Chat it will be any Of the men who are
now mentioned"
"Neither Cornell, Folger, nor Wads-
wOrth;"
F'Neither Of them. They are all good
men. Mr.. Wadsworth is a high-minded,
honorable gentleman, and Governor Cornell
has, think, been a careful, conscientious
man in the discharge Of his Gubernatorial
duties. Judge Folger, too, has the good
opinion of his political friends, and is very
generally respected"
"Why do you think, Mr.. Kelly, that a
dark horse will secure the nomination."
Because the fight has now become so
bitter that L think the leading man OF both
factions will see the necessity for COM
they could nominate their candidate, would
meet with so much opposition from the half
breeds that they would be beaten at the
polls And the reverse is equally true. A
half breed candidate could not hope for the
support of the stalwarts. IL the fight were
simply political one it would be- possible
to harmoniZe and sOlidifY the entire party;
but it is now a personal fight Of so bitter q
character that IL seems to me that nothing
short OF 8 compromise candidate, unobjsc-
tiOnable to both sides, can bring the Repub-
lican party out IN its full strength at the
polls.n

leaps were imposed on him only. Lieuten-
ant MacMahon is no gambler, but is fond Of
winning eccentric bets. A few weeks back
a military chum laid small wager that Mac
would not smash, In the broad daylight, a
convent window with a bad egg. The
sacrilegious nature Of the prank staggered
him; nevertheless, he resolved to win the
bet He was to fling the egg as he was
riding by the convent with some brother
officers. When the foul missile went through
the pane Lieutenant Patrick dismounted,
rang the convent bell, asked to see the
reverend mother, told her what he had done
and begged her TO infiict a penance. She
refusing, he took his watch and chain and q
ring tnat was on his finger, and asked her Il
she would allow him to dedicate them to the
poor whom she habitually relieved. AS she
