DARING BANK ROBBERY.

One Man Does the Trick and Gets
Away With u Good Wad.
Fayetteville, Ark, Dec. 21.-At noon
yesterday the bank at Springdale, ten
miles from here, was robbed by one
man. No one was in the bank except
the assistant cashier. The robber
drove up to the bank door in a buggy
and walked to the cashiers desk before
he was noticed. He compelled the as
sistant cashier to go to the vault and
give him all the money, about $1,000.
While this was taking place a citizen
walked into the bank. He was at once
covered by the robbers revolver and
made to throw up Lis hands. The rob-
Der then hurried and left the bank,
dropping $1,000 upon the sidewalk. He
jumped into his buggy ard drove rap
idly north. Officers We're in pursuit
before he was fairly out OF town. Two
miles out the officers came in sight of
him and he jumped from the buggy
and made his way to tfickly wooded
mountain. Bloodhounds have been put
upon his trail.

ous1y Injured.
Miss Lizzie Owens had her arm brok-
en- in three places at Grafton. She
was an employee Of the Model Steam
Laundry, and while running the man
gle her hand was caught and before
the machinery could be stopped her
arm was drawn in as far as the elbow.
It is Thought it can be saved.
A rousing meeting of the business
mems club was held ct Grafton re-
Gently. The committee appointed at a
previous meeting reported. The most
important report was on the wheat
market and loading facilities. The re-
port condemned the loading platforms
on each road, AID the railroad compa-
MES will be requested to replace them.
The Investigation on the wheat market
showed conclusively that a large guam
tity of wheat had been marketed there
than was being done at other markets.
and that Mr.. Leistekow was paying
better prices and giving better grades
than was being done a tother markets.
The otner committee reports showed
evidence of good work. In response to
the request Of the club, Mayor Leiste-
kow announced that a morning run Of
the electric light plant would be start
ed. He also said that the drainage
system would surely be put in next
season. The matter of rural mail de-
livery was taken up, and steps will be
taken to establish routes out of Graf
ton. The next meetoing will be devoted
to the subject Of creameries, and an
able committee has been appointed to
take up the matter.

Terrible Collision Results and Three
Persons Are Killed.
San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 21.-North
and south bound Southern Pacific coast
limited trains running between this
city and Los Angeles, came together in
head-on collision at Uplands early
yesterday morning. Three persons
were killed and twenty-five passengers
more or less injured. Both engines
were demolished and the baggage and
smoking and chair cars of the north
bound train burned. None of the pas
sengers or cars of the south-bound
train were injured. The only passen-
gers hurt were those in the smoking
and day coaches of the north-bound
train. In the smoker were half dozen
Italian laborers. Four OF them were
badly bruised and scalded by escaping
steam. The accident was due, the rail-
way officials say, to the failure Of the
engineer of the north-bound train to
follow out his orders, which instructed
hin, to wait at a siding at Uplands un-
til the south-bound passed.

sCnLtY's RIGHTS IRAMPID on
ASKS TO BE HEARD IN CoNNEc-,
TION WITH SIMPSONS OBJ
JECTYONS.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Late yesterday
afternoon Admiral Schley. through his
counsel, filed with the secretary of the
navy his bill of exceptions to the ma
jority findings Of the court of inquiry.
and also letter asking to be allowed
to be heard in connection with the OBJ
tections to be filed by attorneys for
Admiral Sampson to the individual
opinion of Admiral Dewey. This ac-
ton was taken after Mr.. Rayner. Mr..
league and Capt. Parker. Of counsel,
had held a consultation throughout the
day with their client.
Secretary Long almost Immediately
called Judge Advocate Lemly and the
ma, into conference. At its conclusion
the secretary said that he had no
statement to make regarding any ac-
ton that he might take in the pre-
misses. He, however, indicated to MIR.
league, through the judge advocate.
that he would not hear an oral argu-
ment by Mr.. Rayner regarding
Admiral Sampson's Protest.
but that he would receive written
statement. 1t is expected that counsel
for Admiral Sampson would file their
objections to the findings of Admiral
Dewey in the case yesterday, but it is
now stated that such objections may
not be offered before Friday.
Admiral Schley objects to the ap-
prevail of the findings Of the court upon
the ground that the opinion rendered
and the report of facts made by the
majority of the court are in conflict
with the overwhelming weight of evil
dence, and that the majority of the
court in their opinion have ignored the
testimony Of the applicant, and of the
whole of the applicants witnesses, and
all that portion of the evidence given
by witnesses for the government,
which was favorable to the applicant,
and have thus deprived him of rights
guaranteed to him by the laws of the
land and the constitution Of the.
United States.
The bill of exceptions is quite.
lengthy. 1t reviews at length the find
ings of the court and notes exceptions
to the conclusions on each point Of the
precept.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION OF GAS
MOST DISASTROUS ACCIDENT IN
THE HISTORY OF THE

WAS TOO HORRIBLE TO DESCRIBE
FRANTIC EFFORTS OF THE
DOOMED MEN TO SAVE
THEMSELVES.

Pittsburg, Pa. Dec. 81. - Ten men
were burned to death and four injured
by an explosion of gas at the Soho
furnace of Jones & Laugh1ia. The ex-
plosion was caused by q Slip in the gas
furnace, the gas and flames belching
upward through the bell. The men
feet above the ground. There were
nineteen men on the furnace when the
explosion occurred. Fifteen of them
were caught in the flames. Two of
them escaped with slight injuries. The
other four We're the regula" men en-
ployed as top filters and escaped with
out injury. The explosion was caused
by the gas becoming cncased in crust
of cinder forming at the bottom of the
furnace. A wheeinarrow containing ore
had been sent up to the men and when
they went to dump it into the bell of
the furnace they pushed it over too far.
and it rolled into the hopper. The bar
row weighed 900 pounds and was too
heavy for the four men to raise. The
fifteen laborers, all Bulgarians. were
then sent up to assist them. Had 1T
not been for
The BARROW Accident,
no one would have been hurt, as the
regular men know how to protect
themselves at such times, as similar
explosions are of frequent occurrence.
The most distressing feature of the dis
aster was the burning of Frankowicz.
He was seen by the thousands of people
who were on their way to work to run
to the platform railing and leap into
the air. He was a mass of flames as
he whirled through the air. He fell on
the stock yard shed and literally burned
to death before the eyes of the crowd,
fifty feet below, who had no way to
reach him. The residents of Second
avenue who saw the accident say it
was too horrible to describe. When
the explosion occurred, burning heaps
Of cinders settled around the men al
most knee deep. Their shrieks were
terrible and their frantic efforts to
save themselves were pitiful in the ex-
IRENE. General Manager ]. 3. Laugh
lin said that the accident was one of
the most disastrous that mad ever oc-

and the Indian Territory.
Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 2O.-As a result
of the intense cold and blizzard stock
men figure a 10 per cent loss in cattle.
This is true, covering the two terri
tories, the loss being greater on the
Western Oklahoma ranges and in the
new country. The past two days have
been cold and accompanied by biz
yards. This has given the stockmen
opportunity to provide means to care
for their cattle and to collect them on
the ranges where they had scattered,
driven by the storm in seeking shelter.
Plenty Of provision will now be made
as all anticipate an extremely cold
winter. In Central and Eastern Okla
hcma the cattle are being collected at
the cotton oil mills to fatten quickly
and ship to market.

Alger, former secretary of war, is suf-
fering from a severe attack of gall
stones. A consultation Of physicians
was held at his residence yesterday and
it was decided that unless Gen. Alger

DR.. H. w. Longyear, one of the con-

condition, but I do not think it should
be called dangerous at present"

Schultz, who disappeared from her

Washington, Dec. 21.-"History at
fords no parallel of a whole people
thus practically turning war traitors.
and in the genius of no other people
was ever found such masterful powers
of secrecy and Discrimination; but it is
needless to say that no powerful state
was ever erected or ever can be erected
on such immoral and unenlishtened
foundations"
This statement is made by Gen.
Chaffee, military governor Of the Phil
ippines, in review of one of a number
of court-martial cases in the islands,
the records of which have been received
at the war department. The case which
brought forth this comment from Gen.
Chaffee was one wherein seven natives
were tried Jointly on charge Of MUIR
der. The accused were soldiers in the
in5urgent army and after defeat in the
field by the American army abandoned
even the show Of open opposition sucn
as the half uniformed guerrilla bands
make, and took up their residence at
Tay Tay, in Luzon, place protected
BY an American Garrison.
Six Of the seven natives were SEN
fenced to be hanged but Gen. Chaffee
committed the sentences of three OF
them to imprisonment at hard labor LOT
life. The seventh native, Leonordo de
Posoy, was regularly ordained priest.
When Tay Tay was given perma-
nent garrison of American troops De
Posoy was found there in the regular
pursuit of his calling as curate of the
Iuebla. He cultivated the good will OF
the American officers and promised to
aid them in keeping peace, but he put
forward and caused to be elected as
presidente one Caledonia Javier, whom
DePosoy we'll knew was an officer OF
insurgents. At his trial De Posoy, who
was held to be the chief agent in the
Tay Tay murders, took advantage OF
the loophole which appeared to be af-
forded by his position as priest by con-
tending that while the participators in
the
Wholesale Murders
in Tay Tay would confess the same at
confessional ne was compelled by his
sacred office to keep silence. Cen.
Chaffee pronounced this defense of no
value, saying that "the confessional
does not lay upon any man, priest or
layman, the obligation of suppresslng
knowledge of crimes being committed
by third parties, the contamination OF
which could have been prevented with
out violating the secrecy of the confess
sional." In this particular case, it is
stated, the knowledge of the crimes
was brought directly to tho priests no
| tice. and was not gained through the
confessional. Gen. Chaffee confirmed
| the sentence of death imposed by the
court-martial which tried De Posoy,
but commuted the sentence to twenty
years imprisonment at hard labor, "out
of respect for his calling and of the
great religious organization of which ne
| is a most unworthy member" Said
Gen. haffee, in concluding his review:
"No person living in these islands can
be permitted to plead his office. how
ever sacred or exalted, as protection
| for crimes committed"
