Cashier.
DEs MONIES. TO-, July 25.-A we'll
laid plan to kill the cashier of the
AmericanSavingS bank and rob the vault
OF s5OO,OOO was discovered and frus-
trated to-day. The robbery was arranged
to take place next Monday at $50
a. M, the hour at which the vault is
opened by cashier Elliot. The scheme
was for one man to engage the cashier
in conversation, another to enter by a
side door, slip up behind and sandbag
or stab him if necessary, while a third
fellow took the rolls of money from the
vault. Two Of the accused, James
Dimmitt, colOred tough, and
Sam Cooper, a real estate dealer, were
from DeS MOines, and the third is pro-
feSsonal thief from Kansas City. Cooper
and Dimmitt are under arrest. A local
newspaper man got into the scheme by
pretending to be tough from Missouri.
Dimmitt has confessed his part in the
conspiracy and intended robbery. Coop
er is playing the insane dodge. A hear
ing has been set for next Thursday.

A HEROIC STRUGGLE.
One Life Lost by a Capsized Boat
Near Chicago.


CHICAGO, July 25.-A scene Of most
thrilling and narrowing description was
the drowning yesterday of private SOL
der of the Fifteenth United States in
fantry of Fort Sheridan while bravely
attempting to swim ashore, after the
capsiZing of sail boat, and the heroic
struggle which captain of the same
regiment maintained for three hours to
save himself and young lad until help
could reach them. 1t was in full view
of 1000 people, who were pOwerleSs to
aid because of the absence Of boats at
the fort
Capt. Hedberg, of the Fifteenth in
fantry, procured a small salboat and,
taking a twelve-year- lad vino was
visiting him, and Private Meyer, of his
company, started out on the lake. The
boat skipped rapidly over the waves un-
tithalf a mile out. when it capSlzed. A
cry of horror went up from the loiterers
along the shore. The camp was alarmed,
and the beach was quickly lined with
1000 excited people. All three were
|" seen clinging desperately to the little
boat. Soldiers hurriedly dragged out
two rubber boats. These were inflated
and launched, but the waves beat them
back TO shore.
suddenly PrlVate meyer parted 1r0n
his companions and started swimming
toward shore. A wild shout arose from
shore. Cheers of the men and women's
cries encouraged him. Desperate efforts
were made in vain to pull toward him
in the rubber boats. On, on, toward
shore he came till but 200 feet remained,
when be dropped from sight and was
seen no more. The waves carried the
brave captain, who held the boy in one
arm and clung to the boat with the
. other. farther and farther from shore.
When two miles out in the lake the
boats overlook the wreck. With the
greatest difficulty the two were taken
aboard. for all were exhausted. For
three hours the powerful captain had
clung by one arm to the boat and held
the ninetY-pound boy in his other.
Meyers body was not recovered.

Very Badly.


PORT AU PRINCE. July 25.-Hippolyte
needs money badly. Yesterday the
government asked the merchants of
Port au Prince for loan of s1,600,000 in
paper. The promise was made that the
sum would be repaid in gold, with inter-
est at X per centper month. Merchants,
Including those of all foreign nations
doing business in the city, held meet
ing and decided that it would be unwise
to advance the money unless the Hay
tian government would promise to re-
deem the $500, 900 in paper issued by the
government of Legitime. Hippolyte
was unwilling to do this, and the ques-
ton Will probably be submitted for set
tlement of the national chamber.
The San Domingo government Off
cially announced Yesterday that it will
never cede or sell Samana bay to the

The next was selling race, mile and

proud nameSake proved a revelation,
and the alderman himself witnessed the
feat with gratifying pleasure. And no
one blamed him for eXulting. 1t was a
graceful victory, and it marks Pat.
Conley as a coming favOrite. The
time, 1:4S14, was great. 1t is only three
seconds behind the record, and he was
not pushed to his utmost performance,
either. Lemoine II was a hot favorite.
She had won the handicap stakes at
Latonia, carrying next to top weight,
and she needed nothing more to recon-
mend her capacity to the talent. They
plunged recl1lessly at odds of s to 5
straight, and 8 to 3 for place. But she
was clearly "off'' color, although she
came in third. And there was DOllikins
She has many brilliant achievements to
her credit, but she did not do herself
proud, for she was never heard from in
the hunt. Happiness was another
likely candidate that could not get po-
SitiOn throughout the entire dash. Pat
COnley proved second choice in the
bOOkies' estimation, for they chalked
him up 215 to ! and even money for
place. They felt no apprehension for
Cloverhouse. They wrote 100 to l after
his name on the little blackboards.
They got off with Matte Allen in the
lead, POlemus second, TOpstone third,
and the balance of the field beautifully
punched. At the quarter CloverhOuse,
the Minnesota horse, rushed to the
front, but the effort appeared to exhaust
him, and at the half LemOlne Fl made
rush and her colors in the front, with
Pat Conley second and coming fast. At
the three-quarters Pat Conley had won
the race, and he come to the wire hands
down, Matte Allen struggling past
Lemoine Fl. 1t was Conley by two
lengths, and Matte Allen led the favor

AN AWFUL SCENE.
FrightfuI Mixture of Wreckage
and Injured Humanity.

DAYTON, O., July 25.-While the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton excursion
train of fourteen cars was returning
with the. National Cash Register en-
ployes from picnic at WoOdsdale park,
a freight train crashed into it at
Middletown station, and it is reported
that five are killed and fifty wounded.
The excursion train broke a draw bar
while pulling into siding, and In the
delay of recOupling freight train came
along, and running into the next to the
rear coach caused an awful wreck and
disaster. The car was packed full of
people, and they were ploWed into
mass of broken cars.
Some passengers who were on the
train came home at midnight by the
Big -Four. express, and they say that five
to seven were killed. Scores of others
had legs or arms broken and were hor
ribly injured. The wrecked train and
people cannot reach here until l a. m.
News of the disaster spread all
over the city like wildfire, and the
depot is filled with families whose
friends are on the train. The city am
balances and patrol wagons have been
ordered to the scene of the disaster to
transport the injured to the hospital or
to their homes. Two coaches filled with
people were wrecked. A boy aged
eleven, named Patterson, was cut In
three pieces. Woman named Fry was
killed, and little girl died after being
taken from the debris. The wreck is
thirty miles south of here, half way to
Cincinnati, and now. at 1880, passeng-
ers are being transferred to the relief
train, which will bring them here in an
hour. Nearly all the people in the
wreck were injured. Some are fright
fully mangled.
How 1t Happened.
CINCINNATI, July e5.-General Pas
senger Agent w. D. Mccormick, of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton road,
| as soon as he was notified of the acci
dent came down from his Walnut Hills
residence to the depot and dispatched
special with surgeons to Middle
town. Through Mr.. Mccormick 1t
has been learned that after leaving
Woodsdale island the coupling of some
| of the cars became damaged, and the
train was DELAYED in order to patch this
up. Again at Middletown the train was
| stopped to further repair the damage.
| There is curve at Middletown which
hides a train standing at, the depot
from the view of a train approaching
| from the south. A lagman was sent
back to stop the oncoming freight,
which was moving at high rate Of
speed and was heavily loaded. The
engineer of the freight saw the fiagman.
| He put on brakes, reversed his engine
and apparently did all in his power to
stop his train, but the impetus was too
great and a moment later the awful
| crash sounded.

THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC,
An Abstract Of Its Financial Budget 70
1892

1892.
The bureau of American republics has re-
ceived an abstract of the budget for 1892 sub
mitted by the minister of finance OF the Argen-
tine Republic. The estimated receipts are
544, 740 900 gold and SIG, 900 currency. The
estimated expenditure is S27,G40000 gold and
$50, 800 900 currency, leaving a surplus of
ST. 100 600 gold and deficit of 37, ,27O O0G cur
rency. Estimating $3.50 currency equal to 500
gold there will be 4 net surplus of 1880. 600.
The minister includes in expenditures az item
of Sl5, 100000 currency to be burnt in case
| there is any surplus. Omittin9 this item and
estimating the currency at $3.50 equal to slCO
gold, the present rate and the surplus would
be S1l 100000. The minister predicts that the
exports for the two years 1891 and 1859 will
reach s24O, ,O00. 900 gold, and that the value of
imports will not exceed SI45. .003. 900. saving
balance OF @95. .0JO 900 in favor of the republic.
The imports for 1890 were Sl42, ,050, 900 as COM
pared with sl6i, 100000 i'll 1883. and the
exports for 1890 were S1O0350 00O an
increase of about 40 per cent over 1889.
! In estimating the value of imports the minister
does not include material for Railways which
form about 70 or 50 per cent OF the articles
! imported free of duty, on the ground that they
are paid for by European capitalists The
minister proposes the following reductions in
import duties: kerosene, from cents to 8
cents q quart; coffee. from cents to cents
per kilo GO ponnds); tea, from 30 cents to 2o
cents per kilo; verba, from IS to 40 per cent nd
valorem: iron and steel, from 10 to per cent
ad vaiorem. The total reductions from this
source are estimated at S56S. 600, of which the
greatest sum. S333, 500. comes from the reduc-
ton of duties on kerosene. An increase in
duties, amounting in all to $500, is proposed
| on the following articles: Tobacco. from So Per
cent ad valorem to 60; matches from 45 per
cent ad valorem to 50; perfumery, from 50 per
| cent nd vaiorem to 60. The expenses Of ad-
ministration are set down at s35, SIC, ,249 cur
rency.
