BANK ROBBER FOILED.
Instead of Handing Over Money the
Cashier Presented IA Revolver.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 20-A bold at
tempt was made to hold up the Citizens
Bank on the East Side about $3.50 o'clock
this afternoon, but owing to- the courage
and thoughtfulness of Cashier A. w. Lam
bert the robber was put to flight without
securing q cent. The bank had just closed
for the day and Mr.. Lambert, the manager,
with his assistants, was preparing to put
the money in the vault when masked man
entered the front door, which is probably
ten feet from the counter In his right
hand he held a revolver while with his left
he was apparently holding his mask close
to his face. Pointing to a stack OF bills on
the counter behind the screen, the robber
demanded that Cashier Lambert hand them
out. Lambert started to pick up the money,
but at the same time secured a revolver
from the drawer AS soon as the robber
saw that he was confronted with revolver
he turned and fed, but before he reached
the street Cashier Lambert fired a shot at
him which passed through his clothing.
Dozens Of people were on the street and
large crowd was attracted by the shooting,
but the fleeing robber soon secured his
horse. which was tied only block away,
and mounting it, was soon out OF sight. NO
trace of hirl has been secured up to late
hour

HALLET KlLBOURNE CRAZY.
WeIl-KnOwn WashingtOnian Afflicted
with Suicide Mania.

WASHINGTON, Jan. @.-Hallet Kill
bourne, one of the Oldest and best-known
business and newspaper men of Washing
ton. tomorrow will be examined in lunacy
proceedings with a view to his confinement
in an asylum. His mania is suicide, and
unknown to any except his physicians and
his immediate family he has made half
dozen attempts at self-destruction in the
past few weeks. He twice tried chloroform,
once gas and at other times tried to throw
himself from the windows of his. home. He
is perfectly sane on all other subjects, but
is suffering from intermittent melancholia.
The commitment proceedings are with MS
full consent and after consultation with
influential friends.
Mr.. Kilbourne was born in Rochester, N.
Y sxty-five years ago. During a con-
gressional investigation into an alleged real
estate boom under the Shepherd regime he
refused to produce his books at the Capitol
and by order of the committee was incar-
cerated in Jail for thirty days for contu-
macy. He sued the government for $10J,OOO
for false Imprisonment and secured $4,000
by congressional action. After disposing of
his real-estate business he became irter-
eSted in newspaper work. During the past
few years he has lived on his income.

A WoMAN's NOVEL EXCUSE.
Took Her Forty Years to Learn She
Had Married the Wrong Man.

DENISON, Tex, Jan. 2O-After nearly
forty years of married life. w. II. Richard
son has begun suit for divorce from mis-
wife, NJ. A. Richardson, on grounds that
are sentimental and unique. They were
married in Clare county, Arkansas, in 1857,
and lived together until January, 1895. at
which time they were residing in Collin
county, Texas. In his petition he says that
at the time of their marriage and for long
time thereafter he believed that the de-
fendant had bestowed her affections upon
him, and that she was constant therein, but
for the period of some ten years before the
date of their separation she informed him
that she had ceased to love o. regard him,
and that she preferred that he would sep
a~ate from her. The defendant gave as her
excuse that before she married him she had
loved another man, to whom she had been
engaged, but that before the date set for
her marriage he died. She alleges that the
longer she lived with him the more thor
oughly convinced she became that 1t was
impossible for any one, who had once truly
loved to love a second person, and she be-
came as the plaintiff believes, thoroughly
imbued with the idea that she was doing
wrong in living with rim, after she had
once loved and been engaged 20 marry an
other man.

GLASS TRADE TROUBLES.
Manufacturers Want Fair Treatment
from the Jobbers' Association.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 2O-The Glass Manu-
facturers Protective Association held
meeting to-day and discussed the action of
the Jobbers' Association of the United
States in dropping, inolscriminately, glass
manufacturers from its lists without warn
ing or preferring charges openly. large
number of the most important glass manu-
facturers in the United States were present
at the meeting and when the question was
brought up the majority were in favor of
compelling the jobbers ~ Ndopt some sys-
tenn in taking action of kind. During
the past year it was nstrated thai
three of the best-kncWn nufacturers in
the country had been dr. Jped from the
Jobbers' Associations lists without warn
ing No charges had been made against
them nor had explanations been asked. An
arbitration committee of five was appointed
to attend the Jobbers' Association meeting
in New York and request that a similar
committee be appointed by that associa-
tion, the work of the joint committee to be

THE KASAGI LAUNCHED
PRETTY JAPANESE CEREMONY.
WITH MISS LONG AS CHIEF ACTOR.
Six Doves Released and Flowers Scat
tered on the Deck as the Cruiser
Took Its First Bath.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2O-The unro-
mantle aspect of Cramps ship yard was
turned to favor and to prettiness to-day
when the Japanese cruiser Kasagi was
launched. True Oriental spirit pervaded the
event. When the breathless moment came
and the huge ship began to glide down to
her first bath six doves fiuttered from a
basket at the bow, and, circling about
scattered flowers on the deck. 1t was very
pretty piece of mechanism, and it was not
at all incongruous that the chief actor of
the allegory should be a charming Ameri-
can girl-Miss Helen Long. daughter of the
secretary Of the navy. Miss Long was to
have merely drawn the cord which released
the doves and their floral burdens but at
the supreme moment the cord slipped from
her hand and a workman of the yard i'm
stantly caught it and performed the Office
This was observed only by those in imme-
diate proximity to the vessel, and the beau
IS of this unique launch was in no way
marred. The Japanese minister, Toru
Hoshi. headed the delegation from the
NIikado's court. and apart from those at
tached to his staff in Washington there
were japanese from New York and Chi
cago. The American party from the capital
was large and notable, including many
state officials and their ladies.
The Kasagi is the most important war
ship ever built in the United States for
q foreign country and is the first foreign
war ship launched in America since the
Russian war ship Zobiaoa, in 1873 The di-
mensions of the Kasagi are: Length S741k
feet; breadth, 4Sz feet; depth, 80 feet; mean
draught, II feet inches; displacement at
that draught, 4900 tons. She is classed as
protected cruiser of the second class. and
like all vessels of her type, has no defen-
sive armor, relying on her coal bunkers
which run 10S feet fore and aft OF her
amidship section TO protect her engines
which are entirely below the water line
above these is a protective deck, having
a maximum thickness of four and a half
inches on the slopes and one and three
fourths inches on the fat The motive pow
er IS supplied by two vertical inverted
triple expansion, four-cylinder engines
driving twin-screws, and estimated to de-
velop, under forced dr2aght. a mean speed
of twenty-five and one-half knots per hour
The boiler rooms contain twelve single
ended boilers.
The batteries on the Kasagi are heavier
than those on either the United States
cruisers Minneapolis or Columbia There
are two eight-inch rifles at the sides, and
her armament besides will consist of ten
4-7-inch quick-firing rifles, a secondary bat.
terry of twelve twelve-pound quick-fring
rifles and six two and a half inch Hotch-
kiss guns. There are two steel masts on
the Kasasi. These will be provided with
fighting tops in which rapid-firing guns
will be placed The contract for the Easaei
Japanese government on Dec 81 1885, and
her building was carefully watched by
Commander katSurO Marta, naval attache
of the Mikado's legation at Washington.

Gerrmander Proposed.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. Ex-senator Finck's
bill to gerrymander the congressional dis
tricts of the State was introduced in the
Legislature before adjournment to-day. The
main purpose of the BILL and Mr.. Finck
frankly acknowledges it, is to legislate Con-
gresham Grosvenor out of Office and put
Democrat in his place. Consequently, Mr..
Grosvenor's district, the Eleventh, is most
completely changed. But beyond this there
is revision suggested in the makeup Of
the Seventh. Tenth, Twelfth. Seventeenth,
Eighteenth and Nineteenth districts. The
famous old Eighteenth district, from which
President Mckinley was elected to Con-
gress, is restored. The present district which
Congressman Grosvenor represents is
known as the Eleventh. The bill proposes
to make it Democratic by taking Ross and
Meigs counties away and substituting Fair
field and Pickaway. This would leave the
district composed of Vinton, Hooking,
