ATTEMPTED Bank Robbery.

DENVER, Col. Sept. 2s.-Yesterday morning
the cashier of the first national bank of Los
Vegas, New Mexico, became convinced that rob-
bern were tunneling from an ADJOINING g build
ing to the vault of the bank. Guards wee i'm
mediately placed in and around the bank snd
those inside observed the masonry OF the vault
gradually sinking. The robbers beneath
worked on, ignorant of their danger and at
l O'Clock Mexican volunteered t. 60 down
into the cellar and investigate. he had taken
but few steps on the stairs when he saw come
one coming up; the. Mexican fred without
word and the man fell dead. James Pearson,
the dead robber, was we'll known
and respected and leaves consid-
erable property. He died before divulg-
ing his confederates. A close inspection OF the
tunnel late this evening by the police, failed to
find any other robbers. and the supposition is
that they were outside. The officers claim to
have possession of = clue and. hope to appre-
bend she remainder of the gang. A trip
through the tunnel shows long and patient
work on the part of the robbers. The tunnel
ia sixty feet in length and constructed on
scientific principles, containing provisions,
water and full outfit Of mining tools and
must have been three months in construction.

Miraculous Escape.

TORONTO, Sept. 25-Three Pullman cara and
the private car of Chief Engineer Hannaford,
of the Grand Trunk express for Montreal and
Blston, left the track near Pickering Station
last night, owing to a broken frog, and went
over an embankmenS twenty-five feet high. At
the time of the accident it was very dark, and
the rain was pouring in torrents. The crash
of the falling cars, the shrieks of women and
groans of the wounded, combined with the
darkness, made the scene horrible, and the
horror multiplied when Engineer Hannaford's g
coach took fire. The flames burned feroely,
despite the pouring rain, aud was quickly
communicated to the Pullman coach that came
next, though the flames we're here stayed. A
large number of town people quickly gathered
and assisted in rescuing passengers from
the burning Pullman as quickly as possible
The passengers collected together and the roll
was called, when it was found that about q
dozen were injured, but none seriously. How
all escaped is a'mystery as one of the coaches
was smashed into kindling wood and all were
whirled over and over several times; yet many
escaped absolutely unhurt, while most of the
wounds are of slight character. The injured
were taken to Whitby and medical aid secured.
The damage to the track and rolling stock is
estimated at 100000.

Washington News.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Judge w. y.
Gresham, postmaster general, received q tele-
gram from President Arthur at II o'clock last
night, informing HIM of his appointment TO
the secretaryship of the treasury. He imme-
diately qualified and sent the president his
resignation as postmaster general. At 10
o'clock this morning Gresham went to the
treasury with Secretary Chandler, and the two
assistant secretaries of the treasury. French and
Coon, who were present rendered their
congratulations. The new secretary will leave
here this afternoon to consult with the presi-
dent. Under the law, First Assistant Post
master General Hatton, becomes
acting postmaster general for ten
days. The president designated
Assistant Secretary Coon to act as secretary Of
the treasury during the absence or sickness at
any time of Secretary Gresham. Assistant
Secretary French has always heretofore acted in
this capacity. All bureau and division officers
of the department called on the new secretary
about noon and were presented by Mr.. Coon.
Judge Gresham accepted the position as an
accommodation to the president, and bis inti-
mate friends say it is only temporary aP-
pointment. The duration of the appointment
is commonly fixed till about October /, when it
is believed Gresham will resign, and perhaps
accept the judgeship of the Illinois circuit. 1t
is believed that either McCulloch or Boutwell,
will take the secretaryship 0upon, Judge
Gresham's retirement.
Acting Postmaster General Hatton will most
likely be placed at the head of the postofice de-
partment permanently.
Mr.. Neal, solicitor of the treasury, has been

It is stated the Indians we're willing to accept

pensate them in any way.

ternoon for visit to the president at Raritan.
