MASKED MEN USE EXPLOSIVES
Blow Open Vaalt of Commercial In
stitution ut Silver Lake, Ind.

Peru, Ind, Jan. 22.-The Commercial
bank of the town of Silver Lake, about
twenty-five miles northeast of this
city, was wrecked between l and 2
o'clock Friday morning by masked
men, who blew up the vault and safe
with nitroglyCerin. The racksmen car
ried away about $4,000 in paper money.
They were compelled to leave several
sacks of silver, owing to battle begun
by citizens. These sacks contained
$4,000.
The towns night Waterman, William
Price, was eating at a restaurant about
two blocks from the bank, when he
heard an explosion. In company with
the restaurant keeper he started to
investigate. In a moment a second ex-
plOsion occurred, followed by three
more. When the Waterman and his
companion reached the bank five
masked men faced them and forced
them back with drawn revolvers. The
Waterman Immediately began shooting
at the robbers. They returned the fire
and backed toward the railway tracks,
where their handcar was concealed.
The fight was kept up for three blocks.
The noise of the shooting brought
many citizens to the scene. The safe
blowers finally made dash for the
handcar, and by rapid shooting kept
the citizens at bay until they could
make their escape.
W. w. Herric, citizen, was shot in
the right arm. One of the burglars was
also shot.
The bank building Is a two-story
brick. The explosion cracked the walls,
and the interior is mass of wreckage.
The bank is owned by Adam Stout C
Co. The handcar was stolen at North
Manchester, to which place the robbers
were traced.

DORMAN B. EATON.

tnen entered the law school or Har-
ward university, where he was gradu-
ated in 1850. His legal essay pre-
pareu there took the first prize in the
university. That same year he de-
termined to settle in New York city.
and soon after going there he became
the partner of Judge William Kent,
the author of the famous "Commenta-
ries." He gave Judge Kent much aid
in preparing this work.
His unselfsh interest in municipal
reform and improvement was early
manifested. In 1866 he drafted the
law creating the New York metropoli-
tan board of health. and in 1867 draft
ed the sanitary code of the city. An
other law which he framed was that
under which the police courts of New
York are now organized. He identi-
| fed himself early with the Union
League club, and for several years was
| chairman of its committee on political
reform.
In 1866 and again In 1S70-72 he trav-
eled in Europe. and made special
study of the status of the civil service
of the different countries. and of the
| progressive laws by which 1t was be-
| ing improved. After his return TO
America President Grant appointed
him chairman of the civil service COM
mission as successor to George Will
liam Curtis, and he held that position
until the commission came to an end
| through the failure of congress to
make an appropriation for its support.
| In 1875 he again visited Europe, and
| in 1877 he went again at President
Hayes suggestion In order to prepare
historical report upon the British
civil service. In 1873 the first society
| in the country organized to promote
civil service reform was formed at his
| residence. Five years later, when
congress again passed law organic
| ing a civil service board, Mr.. Eaton
was appointed the first commissioner
by President Arthur. The law, in
| deed, had been drafted by Mr.. Eaton
himself He resigned July 2S, 1885,
but was reappointed by President
Cleveland in November of the same
| year. The next April he resigned
again. The laws which control the
| municipal government of Washington
were drafted by him at the request of
a Joint committee of the two houses
of congress.
Mr.. Eaton received recognition from
many sources for his work. In 1882 he
was invited to deliver the annual ad-
dress before the law school of Yale
university. The degree Of LII. D. was
bestowed upon him by the university
of Vermont. AS a writer he published a
number of works Of great value, some
| in book form, some in the magazines.
The Independent Movement in New
York" and Civil Service Reform in
| Great Britain" appeared from his pen
| in 1880. In the following years he
wrote a number of articles on civil
service reform and other subjects, and
contributed papers of value to Lalor's
| Cyclopaedia of Political Science. He
prepared an edition of Chapman on
Contracts Payable in Specific Arti-
cles." Mr.. Eaton was member OF a
number of New York societies, includ-
! ing the Bar association, the Citizens
| Municipal league, the Excise Reform
association, the City Reform, Union
league, Commonwealth, Century, Nine
teenth Century and Unitarian clubs.
and the Reform club of Boston.
