Robbed u Bank.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 49,
Three masked men entered the Mark
ct Street Bank, small institution in
the Spreckles building, shortly after
ten o'clock this morning and ordered
Cashier Hopkins and bookkeeper
Payhurst to throw up their hands.
Hopkins, who was at the counter, re.
fused, and one of the robbers fired a
bullet passing his head but striking
neither of the officials. The three
robbers then climbed through the hole
In the wire screen at the Cashiers
window and seized the two bank Of
ticials and hustled them into the
vault. A piece of carpet caught the
door of the vault and the robbers did
not take time to fasten the vault
door. Hastily dumping pile of gold
on the Cashiers counter into a sack
they escaped. Although Market
street was crowded with passing peo-
pie the robbers made good their es
cape. is supposed they secured on
ly eight hundred dollars.
After the disappearance of the rob-
bers telephone was sent to the DO
lice and several detectives we're quick
ly on the scene. No clew was found
which might lead to the identilica-
ton of the robbers. They did not
even throw away their masks, and the
detectives had no clew to work on. No
one in the vicinity of the bank heard
the shot. The face of Cashier Hop
kins was powdermarked, but the bull
let could not be found in the walls of
the Office. The Market Street Bank
was formerly the Bank of KING sbury,
incorporated in 1891, and the total re-
sources are $4,000. S. G. Lillis. is
President Of the bank. He was for.
merly President of the bank at Lillis,
and is proprietor of the Rancho La
guna de Tache, Fresno county.

Morgan Questions Huntington.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The hear
ing on the refunding of the Pacific
railroads debt by the Senate Com
mittee on Pacific Roads was contin-
ued to-day. Senator Morgan con-
tinued his inquiries concerning the
destruction of the papers of the Fl.
nance and Contract Company, the
examination resulting IN sharp pas.
sages between Morgan and Hunting
ton. Morgan intimated that he
believed that the papers were burned
for the purpose of destroying the
proof of the individual liability of the
stockholders. Huntington insisted
that they had been destroyed in clean
ing out room, because the business
for which the company had been or.
ganized was closed. He said that he
suggested to Mark Hopkins that the
books be destroyed, but did not re.
member that there had been ny ref.
erence in his conversation with Hop
kins to the clause in the California
constitution regarding the personal
liability Of the stock holders. Such
matter would, he said, have been re
ferred to the legal department of the
road.
Senator Morgan said: aDid any
lawyer advise you to destroy these pa
pers?"
Huntington said; Il think not.
1t was mere casual matter. We did
not regard it as serious"
Morgan said: at becomes serious
here. I should like very much to
have the books here now"
Huntington said: II should like
very much for you to have them but
in view Of the fact that they are not
in existence, don't see how in the
world you are going to get them"
Huntington said that these people
who were fighting him in California
we're @about as uncanny a crowd as
a farmer ever found in his hen
roost.
The examin alton was then turned
into an inquiry as to the payment of
the Contract and Finance Company
in the construction OF the Central
Pacific and of the organization and
operation of the Western Develop.
ment Company and the Pacific I'm.
provement Company, composed
largely Of Central Pacific. men, en-
gagged in building other roads in Cal
ifornia.
At one time during this branch of
the inquiry Morgan sought to confine
Huntington's replies to definite lines.
Frye interfered to say that the wit
ness should be allowed to answer in
his own way.
Il want him to answer" replied
Morgan. @That is what l am trying
to get him to do, but 1 am going to
conduct this examination exactly to
my taste until the committee stops
me-"
Questioning in this connection de.
veloped that the Central Pacific or.
ganizers had built three other roads
in California, connected with the
Genital Pacific, and had bought
about twelve which failed. Hunting
ton said that the roads built cost
about 100000 mile. The Construc.

The wisdom of calling the republican
ward caucuses on the primary election plan
was emphatically demonstrated In the first
three wards of the city on Friday evening
last The vote cast was several times larger
than usual and far more interest was mani
tested by the voters In general.
In the first ward 200 votes were polled,
the Bliss ticket receiving 100 and the Pin
gree workingman ticket 81; scattering.
The delegates elected were: N. McBain,

S. A. Crane, A. Ii. Northway, G. I. Camp
bell, Charles Paris, DIR. A. l.. Arnold. G.P.
jenkins, w. II. Halstead.
The second ward polled 200 votes and
the result was great surprise to the Bliss
leaders who had claimed the ward as certain
to elect their ticket. The opposition ticket
was put in the field to defeat The election OF
Geo. w. Loring and Odell Chapman as dele
gates and received support from the friends
of Jas. O'Donnell, III. S. Pingree and A. L.
Bliss. The voters of the ward decided by a
