LONDON, September 21.-The bank
ing world of this city has been startled
by the announcement that an I'm
portant bank robbery has taken place
in the city. The institution that has
suffered is the London and West
Minister bank Qimited) No Al Lathbury,
E. C, an important establishment, having
over fifteen branch houses In this city
The money stolen it would appear, con-
sisted OF large parcel Of bills, remit
ted from tho country banks TO the Lon
don and Westminster bank. The thlof
or thieves must have cleverly watched
for the proper opportunity to accom-
plish the robbery and 10 have gained
access TO an apartment near the main
entrance 10 the bank.
This apartment was easy OF access
from the street and the parcel OF bills is
supposed To have been stolen while the
bank officials were busily engaged In
another apartment In going over the
accounts Of last weeks settlements.
Both Mr.. William Astle, the town man
ager OF the bank, and Mr.. II. L. Billing
hurst, the country manager, decline 20
make any statement for puolica-
tion as TO the actual loss Incurred by
the bank, but IL is currently reported
that the amount stolen is not less than
$3.50, 900, and that IL may amount TO as
much as 81, $50, 600. The bank officers,

Proposition to Chicago Police Not Accept
ed-1Iember Of Indian Tribe.
CHICAGO, September 21.-The fact has
just developed here that Frank Tascott,
brother of VIM. Tascott, the allege mur-
derer Of millionaire Amos ]. Smell, had
extended negotiations with the police
authorities some six months ago, looking
to the surrender of his brother. The
terms on which the surrender was to be
made were that an indictment for bur-
glary against the noted fugitive was to
be nOlle prosecuted, and that he was to
be paid the reward of 5000 offered by
the relatives Of the dead man for
his capture, to be used in his defense
against the charge Of murder. The ne
gotlations, however, finally fell through,
Frank TascOtt becoming suspicious that
the police department would not give
his brother fair treatment. These facts
are admitted by Police Inspector Marsh,
who was at that time chief or police.
Mr.. Marsh never knew whore Tascott
was in hiding. Detective Duffy, who
was concerned in the negotiations, says
that in his opinion the evidence against
TaScOtt is not sufficient TO convict him.
The reportOrial queries which brought
out the above statements were started
by dispatch from st. Paul, MINI. The
dispatch said that the now notorious
fugitive, two days after Snell's murder,
arrived at st. Paul, where he remained
a week. Thence he went to Winnipeg,
thence to q farm fifty miles from that
point and eventually TO the Turtle
mountain reservation, where he joined
the Indians and is now member of
the Turtle mountain band, having
adopted the Indian costume and Gus
toms and married a sQuaw.
w. w Erwin, a st. Paul lawyer, tells
the following story in connection with
the case: Zone day last February or
March, man came into my office and
introduced himself as Samuel q. Gold
en-, of st. Johns, Rolette county, n. ID.
He startled me by declaring he knew
where TaScOtt was, and had seen him a
dozen times. He told Golden that he
would give himself up if he could have
the written assurance OF the States
Attorney Of Cook county, Illinois, that
he would move on his arraignment that
the sentence would be Imprisonment
for life instead of hanging. Mr.. Gold
en- said he had letter in his pocket
from a near relative of TaScott, IN
which the profTer of surrender was
made. Golden said TaScott was with
the Turtle mountain Indians"

egation Of West Virginians who are
interested in new patent mail box for
dwelling houses, are in the city tonight
and will go to see the Postmaster Cen
eral tomorrow. They want the depart
ment to adopt the mail box in which
they are interested, and expect to dem
opstrate to Mr.. Wanamaker that it Is
the best yet submitted to his con-
sideration. The inventor Of the box
is Mr.. William Fitzwater, West Vir-
ginian by birth, but now a resident
of Berryville, Virginia. After an ex-
animation of over one hundred boxes in
June last a committee Of department
officials selected another patent than
that OF Mr.. Fitzwater's, but after the
latter had shown how easily he could
rob the box selected, the decision of the
committee was reconsidered. Mr.. Fitz-
water is now confident his box will be
selected If it is, the gentleman's for
time will be made, as millions OF the
boxes will be used.
Among those in the delegation are
Messrs. IS. L. C. Moore, II. L. D. Lewis,
Marshall McCormlc, j. c. Kownster,

Some OF the afternoon papers on Fri

she saw her mother, fell at her moth

story made a very pretty one and ex-
cited much sympathy for Mrs. Fltzsim-
mons Indeed, some attorneys stated
that the incident would play very i'm
portant part 10 the trial OF tho
case, and would accrue TO the
great benefit OF Mrs. Fitzsimmons.
1t is a pity to spoil so pretty story.
but as a matter OF cold fact 1t was moth
ing more than o very pleasing fiction.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons saw her daughter
aud brother-in-law at the bars, just as
ell prisoners see their friends. There
was no praying, etc, and the time ex-
pended In the interview was not more
than five minutes, and was had In the
presence Of Mr.. Tom Pender, and with

took place was of very ordinary kind,
