BOLD ROBBERS.
The Police Capture Them After an Ex-
citing Chase.

citing Chase.
CHICAGO. December 29th-One of the
most daring robberies known in Chicago
was perpetrated to-day by three stock-yard
toughs, undoubtedly the same parties who
recently robbed the cashier of Allertons
packing house.
few minutes past noon three men en-
tered the Merchants Exchange Bank, on
Commercial avenue, South Chicago.
Cashier Wilder and bookkeeper Willis had
gone to lunch, ard the only person left in
the bank was Frank Lynn, Assistant
Cashier.
Two of the men went to the windows of
the bank railing, pointed revolvers at Lynn
and ordered him to open the door at the
rear and let the third man in. Lynn did
this, when the robber knocked him down
and kicked him in the stomach until the
young man was completely helpless. Then
be entered the vault and took from the
safe three $4,000 packages of bills, some
change. and box containing deeds and
mortgages. Then he picked up Lynn and
threw him into the vault and locked the
door on him. The burglars then put their
spoil into sack, and, taking buggy,
drove down the street.
Book keeper Willis passed the men at
the entrance to the bank, aud on getting
inside was surprised to find the vault
locked and no one present. He hurriedlv
opened the vault, when young Lynn iell
out. bloody, and groaning that the bank
had been robbed.
Willis rushed outside and met Police
Lieutenant jenkins and Sergeant Powers.
The patrol wagon was called On and they
started in hot pursuit of the robbers, whom
they could gee mile ahead. The lash
was piled meicilessly ard the police were
gaming rapidly, when the horses begsn TO
give out. The Lieutenant ordered the
officers to use their shotguns as soon as
they could get within range, while he
jumped out in order to get another wagon.
At the corner of South Chicago and Cot
tage Grove avenues the robbers deserted
the buggy, getting into the covered meat
wagon of Charles Mullin, evidently with
the idea that they would thus elude the
vigilance of the police, but the pursuers
| were too close, and a volley from shot.
gun soon caused them to desert the wagon.
When it was caught up with Mullin was
placed under arrest, although protesting
that lie knew nothing about it, while the
officers continued the chase after the rob-
bers.
One of them, John Corbett surrendered,
and after long hunt the others were
found in barn. They opened fire on
being discovered, and Patrick O'Brien, a
Waterman with the police, was shot in the
thigh. The sight of shotguns was TOO
much for them, however, and they soon
gave up, surrendering all the spells.
They gave their names as Frank Bennett
and Henry Festherstone. The latter is
known to the police by several other
| names

THE PLOT rH1cKENs.
Particulars Relating to the Killing of
John Prentiss Matthew'S

WASHINGTON, December 29th.-The Star
says the killing OF John Prentiss Matthews,
postmaster at Carrolton, Miss, by young
Mcbride, will probable turn out to be a
cause eelebre. The Star reporter yesterday
saw ]. NJ. Matthews, of Mississippi, who
was the Republican candidate for Congress
against General Mocker at the last election,
and who is also a brother of the dead man
Matthews had just received the following
telegram from Carrolton:
John WAS murdered by mob He had
been notified by dozen men that mob
was going to kill him. That day he saw
men with their guns, and got his rife.
When he did this the Sheriff arrested him
and placed him under bonds. John point
ed three men out TO the Sheriff, and asked
him to arrest them and protect his life.
The Sheriff refused. 1t was plot, and all
were in it. When he went to the hotel for
dinner, Mcbride, who was still in the drug
store, shot him down with shot gun, kill
ing him instantly. Not satisfied with this,
Mcbride FREQ five shots at him from re-
volver after he was dead. The mob then
began dancing and shouting around the
body, with most vile abuse and curses.
John had received several ANONYMOUS let.
tiers telling him he had to leave town. The
murderer goes free, and all because they
must have the postoffice."
My brother, said Matthews, twas only
p years old. He was the first Republican
postmaster to take the Carrolton Office for
years. and it was freely said that no Repub-
hcan should hold the Office"

disclose the character of its contents, for
the reason that 1t applied solely to tae
Consular service, and did not reflect in the
slightest degree on The Treasury customs

Railroad for Alaska.
WASHINGTON, December 29th.-Senator
Stewart has introduced bill authorizing
the construction of a railroad and telegraph
line in Alaska. This proposed road and
telegraph line was organized by the
Alaska Coal Mining and Development
Company under the laws of California, to
run on the most eligible route from Port
age Bay, on the Pacific Ocean, to Hern-
endeen Boy, in the Behring Sea. The
company is to receive certain grants OF
| public lands, and is to survey and plant
| the line within one year and complete the
railroad within five years.
Commercial Relations With Canada.
WAsHIYGToH, December 29th.-Carlisle
| to day introduced a joint resolution, au-
| thorizing the President to appoint three
Commissioners: and invite Canada to ap-
point the same number, to consider all
questions affecting the commercial rela-
! tons under existing treaties, and to recon-
| mend to the respective Governments such
reciprocal legislation as will settle all diff.
ferences, and tend to promote the growth
of trade and commerce between the tWo
| Governments.

Act is not retroactive, and hence the limita

CIVIL SERVICE.
The Commissioners Deny Some of Wanna
makers Statements.

WASHINGTON, December Doth. = The
Civil Service Commission has addressed
lengthy letter to the President regarding
the annual report of Postmaster General
Wanamaker, in which the latter said the
civil service examination, particularly as
regards postoffice employees, ought to be
improved.
The Commissioners say they have many
times asked the high officials of the Post
Office Department for suggestions, but this
annual report is the first intimation they
received that the department had anything
to suggest. The statement that from one
fourth to ope-third of the mer furni shed
by the Commission through the Railway
Mail Service examination have not proved
satisfactory is denied by the Commission
in the letter, which shows that more than
nine-tenths of these men are still kept in
the service.
The Commissioners express surprise that
their work is not satisfactory. The
Commissioners say the figures of Wana-
makers own report contradict his assser-
tons. The figures also show that of the
Postoffice Inspectors furnished from the
Commissions list more than ninety per
cent. have been retained. There is no class
of employees, the Commissioners say which
it is more desirable to keep from political
patronage than Postofilcs Inspectors.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
Owens New Bill to be Withheld for the
Present.

WASHINGTON, December Doth. : Two
weeks ago Chairman Owen, of the House
Committee on immigration, was author.
lied by the majority of the members of his
committee to report comprehensive bill
TO the House amendatory of the present
contract labor and immigration laws. The
bill was thought to be conservative meas
ure, but it is now being hung up because of
objections raised by Lehlbach of New Jer-
sey, who at the time was absent on the Pa
cihc slope engaged in an investigation of
the methods BY which Cinnamon are snug
gled into the United States.
Lehlbach agrees in his views with those
of the German-American secret societies,
which are inclined to oppose any measure
which has for its object the erection of bar
riers to complete the freedom of immigra-
ton to the United States,
Lehlbach, as soon as he heard of the
action of the committee, protested against
anything being done in his absence. II
was in consequence of this protest that
Owen held off the report, which will not
be made to the House until Lehlbach re.
tQrQs.
