ATreMpreo BANK RoBeE
Fifty Thousand Dollars Would Have RO
warded the Thieves IL Successful.


CHICAGO, Jan 3.-A daring attempt to
rob the Drovers' National bank, at the Union
stock yards, was made Saturday night That
the thieves were unsuccessful in obtaining
$4,000 cash locked in the vaults was the re-
suit only Of their lack of nerve at critical
moment. When an employe, Charles Tk0mp-
son, opened the bank yesterday he found the
interior in confusion It was evident at q
glance that an effort had been made to blow
open the vault, There is no watchm an at
the hank, the police station being but a block
distant
In company with police, Thompson SOON
found that three men, probably, had effected
an entrance through skylight in the rear OF
the building, while a fourth stood guard,
after having removed ladders which had
been obtained at paint shop near by. The
blinds were pulled down, a hole drilled IN the
iron door Of the vault, and just as the noisy
whistles in the packing houses and on loco
motives were blowing out the old year, q six
inch dynamite cartridge was inserted in thS
hole and touched off.
The explosion, which had been deadened
by horseblankets, attracted no nUtice.in ths
general din, but too much dynamite had
been used, and the knob indicator was do
stroyed. Afraid to try another explosion,
the thieves seem TO have worked on with
jimmies and drills, until disguised with the
slow progress made they gave it up as a bad
job, and quietly dropped out of the sky

A RAsCALLY BOOK AGENT.

Robert Raymond, Ministerial Looking
Cuss, Arrested upon Serious Charge.
Late yesterday afternoon an affida-
Wit was sworn out before Mayor Blake,
charging one Robert Raymond with as.
sault and battery, and warrant issued
| for his arrest was placed in the hands
of officer Slagel, who found his man
after short hunt. Raymond was
given nights entertainment in the
city prison, and arraigned before the
Mayor this morning.
The circumstances Of the case, which
appears to be aggravated one, are
about as follows:
Raymond, who is a typical book
agent, called at the residence of fam
lily named Stephens, in the northern
part of the city, and rang the door-bell.
Upon the door being opened bya four
t9en-year-old daughter, Ray m ond asked
her it her parents were in. Receiving
negative reply, Raymond grew bold,
and reaching out, grasped the girl
around her waist and kissed her several
times. He then attempted to draw her
toward him, acting, as the girl affirms,
in menacing manner.
Miss Stephens broke from the grasp
of the man, and ran, pale and scream
ing, to the kitchen, where she informed
her mother, who had Just returned to
the house. Mrs. Stephens rushed in
aud ordered the rascal out of the house
and then came down town and procured
warrant for his arrest.
Upon being arraigned this morning
Raymond, who is a ministerial looking
cuss, plead not guilty to a charge Of
assault and battery and:waived exami.
nation. His attorney asked Hizzoner
to place light bond upon the malefac-
tor, but Mayor Blake said that there
were circumstances in the case that
would prompt him to place the bond at
a high figure. The fellows attorney
then said that 800 would be a heavy
bond in this instance. Howeye, the
Mayor felt justified in imposing bond
of $500 for Raymond's appearance at
court.
Being unable to procure this bond
the genteel purveyor of books was
taken below to jail, where he languishes
at the present time. ~
While it is not probable that RAY
mond contemplated forcing the Girl
still his actions were disgraceful and
unlawful, and he has evidently gotten
into bad box.

PITTsBUEG, Pa, Jan. 4.--[Special. l.
Matters are beginning to assume ser

but in the manufacturing towns as well.
At Pottsville only four of the fifty
three of the Gompany's collieries are

2l,JO0 ton of coal are in the yards. 1t
looks like famine. Much depends on

Whatever uncertainty may be enter

OF remaining in Washington that he
has leased house for term of years
at $l5, 900 rental annually. In addition
to this he is daily visitor at the Post
office department, where he passes
his time familiarizing himself
with the routine department
work. Villas apparently entertains
no doubt as to his confirmation. There
are many indications that he expects
