Wanted Money or Death.


sAs FRkscIsco. March "a man went
into branch Office Of the San Francisco
savings union, which is situated at the cor
ner Of Market and Polk streets, about $50
O'Clock this morning. He presented writ
ten demand for money to Cashier William
A. Herricx. The demanS was refused,
whereupon the desperate murdered the
cashier and fed, but was captured a few
blocks away. The note presented to the
murdered cashier read as follows:
"Mr. Cashier:
"SrR-After considering my deplorable
condition am convinced that this life is
not worth living without desperate means,
and therefore am resolved to make one
more effort to seek help to sustain my mis-
ereble existence. Should you not comply
with my demand am compelled to employ
my last remedy-a bottle of nitro-glycerine
and to bury myself under the ruins of the
building, blasted to everlasting nothingness.
Yours respectfully,
A DESPERATE MAN"
This note was penned with red ink, and
at the bottom was roughly sketched a skull
and cross bones.

returned it to the man with a shake OF the
head. The man quickly drew revolver
and fired, but his aim was bad. Herrick
seized his pistol. which lay beside the desk.
The cashier and desperate fired at each 9TH
er almost simultaneously. The former miss
ed, bnt the latter's second shot found its
mark. The bullet passed into Herrick's
heart.
As the murderer turned to flee Book-keep-
er C. s. Melvin drew pistol and sent a
number of bullets after him, two Of which,
il was afterward discovered, took effect. The
assassin was pursued from the scene by a
large crowd of people, among whom were
many police officers. The fugitive jumped
intoa wagon and drove several blocks FL
nally be turned into blind alley and was
forced TO abandon the wagon. He jumped
over fence into yard and crawled into a
vacant lot. There the officers located him
and, though the murderer had a pistol in
bis possession, he surrendered.
Upon the prisoner were found two 45-cali-
Der pistols, belt full of cartridges, dirk
knife, a razor and fuse, such as is used to
ignite dynamite. Upon being taken 10 the
city prison he gave his name as Fred Ben
nett, and said he came here from Denver
last week. He had been seriously wounded
by Melvin's bullets, one striking between
his temple and eye. the other lodging in his
left shoulder.

VIM some reserve, as might be ex-
pected, the Southern press has RETAINED
taking quite such big strips from the hide
Of Colonel Breckinridge as have fallen
before the knives Of their Northern con-
tempOraries. But the progress of the tri-
al has shown the South that the defend
ant has betrayed the faith and forfeited
the respect heretofore bestowed upon the
Congressional successor Of Clay, Mar
shall, Crittenden, and Beck. So, though
they do not rend the reereant knight,
they turn away in sadness, presumably
forever.

Change for Teachers.

The great offer being made by the Pitts
burgh Dispatch to take the sixty teachers Oi
tine public schools of Pittsburgh, Allegheny
and other points in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
West Virginia and Maryland to Atlantic
City in July is the talk Of the hour. The
additional inducement that the twelve teach
ers of the sixty who receive the largest
number OF votes will be taken on a supple
mentary trip TO Philadelphia, New York
and Boston after the Atlantic City trip is
over is indicative of the liberality which
governs the Pittsburgh Dispatch in every
thing it does. Give your favorite teacher
the benefit Of splendid summer outing.

\ CORRESPONDENT ofthe New Y ork San.
writing some political prognostications
from Albany, saws that on the basis of

the Republicans will carry the Novem-
Der elections by majority Of 100000.
The same authority reports the two
strongest gubernatOrial candidates in
sight 10 be ex-Yice President Morton and

ascribed for dresry Democratic outlook
are hard times, party divisions, and dis
satisfaction, owing to misplaced patron

next fall.
