AI!-:L. la., March 7. A desperate and partly successful attempt was made to rob the Adel State bank yesterday. A few minutes before 9 o'clock two strangers drove into rown and tied thoir Irani near the public square. They got our and without attracting any particular attention stepped into the bank. The cashier. S. 31. Leach, had just taken from rhe vault the currency for the day's business. ('. D. Uailey, a leading merchant, was writing at a desk in the lobby. They were the only occupants of the bank.
One of the sh-augors stopped up to the cashier's window and said he wanted to deposit some money. At tlio same instant the second rubber, who was behind, levelled a shotgun at .Leach and lived, r'ne charge taking effect in his shoulder. He then ordered the cashier to hand over the money. The! latter handed over a small sack of silver and hen, though badly wounded, seized a drawer containing about !',000 in gold and currency, and staggering to the vault, he pitched the money in and shut and locked the door. Weak from loss of blood, lie then tell to the floor.
One of the robbers then sprang over the counter and began shoveling all the money in sight into a sack, and rhe one with, the gun turned to Mr. Bailey, who was still standing at the desk, and fired a shot at him, wounding liim in the neck. He fell to the floor and the robber shot at his prostrate form, but missed him. By this time a crowd had gathered outside and the two robbers, one carrying the money and the other wielding the gun, made a rush for their buggy. Fully 50 shots were fired at them, but none apparently took effect.
They got into their buggy, and keeping the crowd at bay, drove rapidly away. Several men sprang upon horses and followed, and a running fight of several miles ensued. About four miles south of town the buggy driven by the robbers struck a tree and broke a wheel. The robbers, still closely pursued, abandoned their rig, and one hid behind a bank, where he was soon captured, and the other, with the gun, ran into a barn near by. The barn was .surrounded, but the bandit held the crowd at bay. He was called upon to surrender, but resolutely refused, and said he would never, be taken alive.
After a parley the crowd partially untied the captured robber and compelled him to set lire to the barn. The advancing flames finally forced liim to come out, but he still refused to surrender and the crowd of citizens fired a volley at him. Ke fell dead, pierced by three bullets. Two took effect in the head and one in the side and either would have been fatal.
It was with the utmost difficulty that the angry crowd was prevented from wreaking vengeance on the robber that was alive, but Sheriff Payne hustled him into a buggy and drove rapidly back to town. A crowd of several hundred had gathered at the jail when the sheriff readied there with his prisoner. There were loud cries of "Shoot him," '•hang him," but the officer managed to elude the mob and land his trembling prisoner safely behind the bars.
The captured man, or rather boy, for he is only 19 years old, lias made a complete confession. He says his name is Charles W. Crawford, and his home near Patterson, in Madison county. The dead robber is O. P. Wilkins and was released only a few weeks ago from the Minnesota penitentiary, at Stilhvater, where he served three years for robbery.
Crawford says their only weapon was a repeating Winchester shotgun, carried by Wilkins, and the testimony of witnesses bears out this statement. He claims to have been coerced into assisting Wilkins and says they went to Indianola last Monday morning for the purpose of robbing the bank there, but he refused at the last moment after they had reached the town and the job was abandoned.
They stayed Tuesday night with a farmer living a few miles southeast of here and drove to town yesterday morning. Their team was stolen from the prisoner's uncle, W. W. Crawford, of Madison county. They secured only about $000 from the bank, :uid the money was all found where the buggy broke down.
It is not believed that either Bailey or Leach is fatally hurt. The latter received a full charge of shot in the shoulder, making a bad but not dangerous wound. Bailey was shot in the neck, the flesh and skin being torn away almost to the windpipe. He will recover unless inflammation sets in.
Several citizens were hurt, by scattering shots fired by the robbers. Postmaster B. S. Barr stepped out of the postoliice just as the rob hers passed. The latter ordered him in, but before he could comply fired at him, one shot striking his forearm and another piercing his hat and grazing his forehead. J. M. Byers, J. M. Snnroke and a boy named Cecil Decker were also slightly injured.
The daring robbery lias caused intense excitement. The town is full of armed men, most of whom had turned out from neighboring towns on the firfct report of the robbery to aid in the capture of the robbers. There is still considerable talk of lynching Crawford, but the sheriff and leading citizens are trying to pacify the crowd and will probably succeed, though if anybody made a start there would le plenty of followers to make the bandit stretch hemp.
Two Children llorribly Humeri.
BROOKLYN, March 7.—A fire in the apartments of John Lewis last night resulted in the death of his 4-year-old daughter, Gertie, and the serious burning of his 2-year-old sou, Daniel. Both children had been left alone when the clothing of the little girl ignited while she was playing at the kitchen stove. The child was so severely burned before her screams of agony brought other tenants of the house to her assistance that she died within a few minutes. The other child, though badly burned about the body and limb", will probably recover.
CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT:
Accountant and Interpreter of the Ar-:"? geiitiue Legation Arrested.
WASHINGTON, March 7.—Manuel AlI lnngi'n, accountant and interpreter to I the Argentine legation in this city, was, I yesterday, arrested at the office of rhe I legation, and locked up at the request of Minister Zeballos on a charge of embezzling $2,000 of the fluids of the legation.
Alinagro was born iu Spain and wentto Cuba while very young. He is 40 years old and has been in rhe t.7nir\l States for :lo years and with the Argentine legation for i.j months. The legal' question involved in his arrest was discussed before action was taken. District Attorney Bimey, after consulting at tlio department of justice, held that Almagro. being an employe, not a member of the legation, could be proceeded against, in the. usual way.
LUMBER DEALERS' COMPLAINT.
A Chicago Man Charged With Fraudu7 lently Csiug the .Mails.
CHICAGO, March 7.—M. J. Decker, head of the firm of M. J. Decker & Company, dealers in and collectors for lumber, was arrested last night on a charge of using the United States mails for fraudulent purposes. He was arrested by Postoffiee Inspector Mercer and Deputy United States Marshal Taylor on warrants sworn out by H. A. Smith, a lumber dealer and manufacturer of Benton, O.
It is alleged by Smith that he sent to Decker on contract a quantity of white oak lumber, and that the latter refused to pay for it, claiming that it was not up to contract quality, while Smith says Decker was endeavoring to steal the lumber by selling it to third parties. Similar complaints have been made before against Decker by Ohio lumber firms, and the postal authorities advised his arrest.
THREE FIREMEN INJURED.
liuilding Completely Wrecked by ail Kxplosion of (ias.
KANSAS CITY, March 7.—An explosion of gas, said to be deliberately planned by an incendiary, yesterday afternoon, wrecked the 2-story brick dwelling of Lewis H. Day, in Lydia avenue, and caused the injury of three firemen. The explosion was caused by a gaspipe leading from the basement- being cut and letting the gas flow through the house, which had apparently been set on fire.
Soon after the firemen arrived the whole side of the house was blown out I and the remainder of the structure shattered. John Lynch, Clarence Mc-
Elroy and William McCormick were caught in the debris and all severely cut and bruised, but none will die. The family were absent at the time.
1
Almagro confesses his guilt. He says he lost a large sum belonging to the I legation on the street last [November. I Being afraid to confess it, he tried to make it up by gambling ar Jackson City with the legation money, all of which passed through his hands. By I January he had lost in all £2,000. He then confessed to Minister Zeballos, who gave him time to raise and replace, the money. He visited Cuba, where his father is said to be a prominent man, for this purpose, but failed ro secure the-'I money and the minister, finally losing patience, caused his arrest.
Not Surprised. "SfTfl
LONDON, March 7.—In a leader The Daily News says the statement that the Hawaiian revolutionists will not be executed does not cause surprise. When I the Americans spared Jefferson Davis and his associates in one of the greatest rebellions that the world has ever seen, they created a precedent which must be binding on their conscience and their humanity for ever. They have that precedent almost exclusively to themselves. National pride should forbid them to depart therefrom and reduce themselves to the level ef effete Europe.
Idaho's Senatorial Contest.
BOISE CITY, March 7.—In the senatorial vote yesterday one of the Sweet men left him and voted for Slump, the result being: Shoup, 21 Sweet, 18 Crook, 14. There is much talk of a dark horse, but no one has any definite idea who may be brought out. The effort of the Swoet men apparently is to defeat Shoup at any cost. There are only two more days of balloting, and if the Sweet men and Populists continue to vote together for an adjournment, there can be only two ballots, and perhaps no election.
Steamer Foundered.
POUT TOWNSUND, Wash., March 7.— The steamer Evangel, plying between Victoria and Puget sound ports, while lying alongside the wharf at Port Angeles last night, foundered. No one was injured. The accident was caused by the engineer leaving the sea cock open after the vessel had been tied up for the night. The passengers, six in number and crew, were all asleep and had only about two minutes al'ter the alarm was given that the steamer was sinking. Most of the passengers landed without clothing.
Religious Frenzy Among Indians.
TACOMA, March 7.—A meeting of the "Shaker" Indians on Squazin island has ended. Many Indians from vax-ious parts of western Washington attended the gathering. The session lasted four days. John Slocum of the Squazin reservation is the chief prophet of the new faith. He claims to have died and visited heaven .and lias been sent back to warn good Indians of their pending fate. A ghost dance concluded the festivities. Slocum is working the Indians into a gaeat frenzy on religion.

NEW YORK, March 7.—The skull of a human being was found in the cellar of 45!) West Forty-sixth street, at 9 o'clock last night. The skull is probably that of Susie Martin, the trunk of whose murdered body was found a year ago in the basement of 517 West Thirtyninth street. The skull is an unusually small one, and has evidently been boiled for some time.
It was found wrapped in some old linen which may have been used on an ironing board and portions of a girl's plaid jacket, which answers the de- I scription of that worn by Susie Martin when she- disappeared. The bundle was found behind the door near tins end of the coal chute leading from the street, and the janitor who found it, said it I may have lain there for over a year, The skull and clothing are in the West Forty-seventh Street station.

DESPCRATE
yestorday's ses'ution. the com-
ttee tiia conferred with the operators the previous niirht presented its re]:.at, the chief feature of which was a prooosirioii made by the operators that a joint convention oL miners and operators be Vheiu in Pittsburg next Saturday. j:: This was rhe only proposition, so rhe. J-,miners say, that was made by the opera oiS, there being no truth in the report that the operators hail offered the 00 cents for mining coal.
The report- was vigorously discussed. and when rhe vote was taken the proposit ion to hold a joint convention was voted down.
Every delegate was explicitly insTueted to carry out the strike order issued, by the convention late Monday night.
The convention, at 1.2:30 o'clock, ad--journed without date. What action the operators will take is not known.
The order to strike seems to meet the approbation of the miners in the district and the shutdown will like!}' be general. In the fourth pool all mines are idle except two the Charleroi Coal company's miners are all out and the Panhandle men at McDonald and Midway will be out in the morning.
