ROBBED BY A SYNDICATE {
Systematic Audacity of the New
Orleans National Bank
Wreckers.
Seven Persons Were in the Deal am
They Lived Like Princes Until
the Collapse.

NEW YORK, N. Y. Sept IA Sun
special from New Orleans says:
There is only one more secret to come
out in the wrecking of the Union National
Bank and the bank panic which ragged
here last wesk, and it is announced that il
will be disclosed within the next twenty
four hours; that is, the names of the con-
federates-the men on the outside who
drew out and appropriated the $602, 600 OF
the banks money. The bookkeepers
cooked the accounts, so as to keep the
bank always in debt to these confederates.
The bank was robbed by syndicate
composed of seven persons, two on the in
side of the bank and five on the outside.
The whole transaction was business-Iike
and systematical, including the division
OF the funds. Colomb, one of the book
keepers, whose lack of nerve was shown
by his suicide the moment suspicion
pointed to him, was the organizer of the
PROJECT and its director. It is reported
that a conhscation has been made, that
three members of the syndicate have been
arrested and that the only reason names
are not now made public is to prevent any
escape, as some of them are out of town.
The money went mainly in riotous living,
the balance in speculation, with the hope
OF recovering the amount stolen.
In the big cotton speculation last year,
when cotton went up so high, the syndi-
cate was ahead of the game. The sudden
collapse of the market prevented it from
making good the banks money and rem
dered new raid necessary. The bank
has been plundered more heavily than
ever since.
The outside men are said to be high
llvers. Not SO the bookkeepers, who were
kept busy all day covering up their mis-
deeds. They had no time for Spree
Colomb spent most of his share on
his family. He lived luxuriously, had ten
servants and housekeeper, rather
large household for clerk on a salary
OF $3.50 month. He had determined on
suicide when'the defslcatlon came out, for
he carried poison on his person to be used
at moments notice. He had many
friends, and they ali speak of him as gem
erous and brave, and say that to commit
suicide was the only thing a gentleman
could do under the circumstances.
Colomb was interviewed about the
banks condition. He was calm and col

saloon and arrested a man named Maho-
ney. Before they could get their prisoner
out of the saloon, group of miners as
saulted the officers, rescued Mahoney and
permitted him to escape. The officers ar
rested a number of these men and took
them to jail. These repeated outrages are
adding to the suppressed feeling of the
public and Leadville awaits with great
anxiety the outbreak.

tnat the order would be disobeyed and
that the troops would fraternize with the

vote OF 1894, which was only 5000 less.
we nave kept pace with Vermont and proven
to the country that the Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago will not prevail when met

many Democrats who placed country above

question of simple morals and common hon.

BALTIMORE, ND. ,ISept. .14.-Ex-Cham-
pion Jake Kilrain was knocked out by
Frank P. Slavin at the Eureka Club to-
night. The Baltimore heavyweight was
little better than a punching-bag for the
Australian, and it took him but two and
quarter minutes to put the ex-champion
out.
Kilrain's weight was announced as 210
pounds, but he looked at least fifteen
pounds heavier. Slavln wsighed 1874.
The exhibition was more of the give

two and a quarter minutes of fighting the
Baltimore man went down. His head
struck tie floor resounding whack. He
rolled over and attempted to regain his
feet, but his hands were still on the floor
when the referee counted HIM out.

When Mr.. Manley telegraphed that the
Republican majority would reach $4,000,
there was great surprise and enthusiasm.

GREAT NEWS FOR THE COAST.
Dimensions Giving an Ioea of the
Formidable Charac of The
Ocean Warrior.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 14.-There
was remarkably close bidding on the de-
partmental plans alone, and figures were
low, considering the financial agitation, at
the competition at the Navy Department
to-day for the three new battle-ships, the
Newport News company, the SCOTS of San
Francisco and the Cramps of Philadelphia
each winning a ship from among the five
bidders.
The welcome news was received from
Washington yesterday that the Union Iron
Works had gained the contract for building
one of the three high-class modern battle
ships authorized by Congress at the last
session. In the telegraphlc columns the
story of the bidding is told. The first in
telligence of the success was conveyed in a
private dispatch from Henry T. to Irving
M. Scott, of which the following is copy
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. Ia, 1896.
To Union Iron Works, SGn Francisco: Under
our per cent bid have ship at $2,675, 900.
New York tonight. Bullyl H. T. SCOTT
According to the plans the new battle
ship is to represent the highest style of
naval architecture and will be the superior
of the Oregon in weight and larger in
dimension. In general way the new
ship Will bear a close resemblance to the
Kearsarge and Iowa, but will contain some
improvements suggested by the naval
architects.
Surely the three vessels will constitute
a remarkably fine addition to the splendid
feet of ocean-fghters which the United
States has placed in commission during
the past ten years.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1896-04-13

Astronomers have hitherto held fast
to the dogma that the objective lens Of
a telescope must consist Of one piece.
Mr.. l.. Gathmann Of Chicago has, how
ever, built a Z inch telescope, the object
lens Of which consists of seven large
circular pieces of glass, one in the cell
ter and six arranged in circle about it
and six smaller disks at the outer an
giles. These pieces, together with the
intervening opaque substance, are OF
course so ground on the surface as to
form one complete lens, and tho trans
T. irent segments, therefore, all tocrl at
one point.
Many astronomers who have irsr 7cted
it have marveled at the distinctness
with which it magnifies the heavenly
bodies. The great gain comes from the
better quality of glass that is used. Al
everybody knows, the limit has now
been reached in the casting of mass ol
glass for telescope lenses, because, the
surface cooling and solidifying first
bubbles or other imperfections remain
in the interior. This difficulty is re
moved by selecting small portions o
perfect glass and building up the len
by segments on the Gathmann plan
The use of lead to strengthen or tougher
the glass in large lenses is also obviat ed
and a much more transparent qpaiit.
of glass is thus obtained. .-lndustria
