BAKE ROBBERY. AUDACIOUS TXLLAIXT. CrucnrsATX, Ohio, Oct. 1. A most audacious and successful Dank robbery was committed at the National Lafayette and Bank of Commerce, on Third street, this city, between 10 and 1 1 o'clock this morning.

A package of $10,000 was stolen before the very eyes of the owner and in the presence of the President of the bank. The facts, in brief, are as follows: Ur. K. H. Burton, of Clifton, a well known ex State Senator and one of Cincinnati's solid citizens, went into the bank about 10 o'clock this morning for the purpose of cntting the couoons from the government bonds, a quantity of which were deposited in the Safety Deposit Company's vanlts beneath the bank.

After getting them he went to the President's office with them, as is the custom, and began cutting off the coupons due today. After he had been at this work a little time, chatting meanwhile with the President, Mr. Goodman, who Bat at a desk near him, three well dressed ana gentlemanly appearing men came into th. office. One of these, bowing to Mr.

Goodman, asked if he was the President, and receiving aa affirmative reply, asked the privilege of a few minutes' conversation on business. Mr. Goodman acqniesced, and Invited him to a seat, which be accepted, and drawing up asked him some questions about a deposit which b. (the stranger) proposed making. As the conversation progressed, the second gentleman, who had followed closely.

KTKPPED UP TO HE. BURTON', who sat with the box of bonds directly in front of him on the table, and leaning over in front of him asked if he could apeak to the President. As this was being done the third man stepped carelessly to the other end of the desk; where Mr. Burton sat On hearing the question of No. 2 (a person In red whiskers), Mr.

Burton looked up, and turning bis head toward Mr. Goodman, wjio sat at his right, said "There is the President," At this the man excused himself and drew back, as if waiting for tho first who entered to get through with his conversation with the President.

About 6:30 o'clock Ted Franks, the Jailer, was shot and killed by a prisoner, Charles Pierce, alias Howlett, Incarcerated for horse stealing. The Jailer went Into the Jail to change the prisoner from one cell to another. The Jailer had a re volver. 82 caUbre, In his hip pocket, and no coat on. He went to unlock the cell door, when the prisoner seized the revolver, and shot the Jailer In the back.

The Jailer then turned around andwas shot in the shoulder. The piisoner nrea a third shot, and the ball pierced Frank's heart, going clear through the body, killing him instantly. The other prisoners seized the murderer and prevented him from escaping, and wrested the revolver from him. Kews of the murder spread like wild fire, and cries of vengeance were soon heard from the knots of men about the streets. By 8 the Jail was entirely surrounded by at least 5,000 men, women, and boys, every one demanding the blood of the murderer.

The Sheriff and police summoned a strone force to guard the Jail, and i did all in their power; bnt at 9 o'clock a mob of howling men gained entrance, after nearly tearing down the Jail. For over an hour the mob enthusiastically and madly, amid the yells, screams, and cheers of the lookers on. When they had forced the inner iron doors in they pnt a rope around the murderer's neck, and dragged him out through the wild crowd to a locust tree near by, at the corner of Market and Center streets. In a few minutes he was dangling in the air, a lifeless corpse. The shrieks and groans of the victim of mob violence could be heard while he was dragged remorselessly to the tree; but hi.

cries were drowned In lond cheers and yells of "ami hiaC "Lynch him' The wildest ex citement prevailed. Some of the best citizens were in the front. Business men cheered and enooaraged the lynchers, and women cheered and waved handkerchiefs when the hope was strongest that Patsey Devtne, charged with the murder of Aaron, Goodfellow. in 1 879, now a prisoner in jail, would be lynched too: bnt the mob dispersed without touohing him, though the feeling was very strong. Jailer Franks was a noble man and a good oUt aen, liked by alL He had lived here over twenty years, and his death is universally lamented throughout the city.

Pierce stole a horse and bnggy here a few weeks ago, and was captured at Jacksonville, where he is known as a bad man. He was only 20 years old, of medium slzs, smooth face, ana brown hair, with a bad countenance. After hanging oa the tree thirty minutes, and having been seen by thousands of people, the body of the murderer was cot down and taken possession of by the Coroner. This has been a gloomy, drears, and dark day: the clouds were leaden and heavy, dropping now and then a spat of raiu. Though the mud was terribly deep and adhesive the streets from earliest morning were thronged witn an excited populace.

I' or one day the churches had light oongregatioue. Men, women, and children in multitudes visited the elm tree, to whicn the dead body of young Pierce, cr i lowlett, was hanging, at 0 o'clock last night. Those who visited it this afternoon saw nailed to it the following grotesque card: "McLean, Illinois Ax man, ax man, spare this tree, and uever touch a single bough; and may Gou spare this elm tree forever to grow to mark where tho first Justice to a murder ever was done in McLiean Conuty, and may the good people stand by the boys that did it," This was tacked uu about noon to dav. and remains undisturbed. Who wrote it, or who nailed ic up.

is not known. The rope was cut into fragments last night, and eagerly seized by tho curious cratnl. The jail was another center ol Interest. Its wrecked doors and windows stood as the fury of the populace left them last night. Inside the jail office, where Frank was murdered, were splashes of blood on the floor and bedstead on which the stricken man had died.

On a Hue behind Ujo jail proper hung a white countcrpauc crimsoud iu blot ties by the jailer's hearts blood. It was a ghastly reminder. The iron doors of the ccll houti were battered and dented bv sludges aud bars. There was general weeping aud wailiug in the prisoners, wno swear that had the mob not taken Pierce life they would have strangled him for killing their best irieud. Among tncin the dead prisoner is denounced vigorous words.

The body of Pierco. the neck encircled by a three quarter inch wau ila rope, cutting deep into the flesh, lay all day lu the lee casket in tho under taker omee. viewed it with various expressions of word and ieature. Ue was not a bad looking lad black hr.ired, smooth faced, pule, irregular features, aud an intelligent cast of countenance. It wax learned to aay his ribt name is Uowlett, and that his lutner is cashier of a bapk, at Mount Pleasant, Iowa.

ills life had been one of crime from infaucy. lie was plucky and brave. Tuouch surrounded by a howilug mob, heaping curses aud maledictions on his fated head, he spoke quietly and calmly to some who stood about him, bidding good by to Fire Marshal Chase, and bllAKXSO HANDS with him. Popular sentlmeut is undoubtedly dead to any feellug of regret that Howlett is dead. People are actually tr.ad of Uiat, but the best citizens are truly sorry that mol law ever prevailed iu IdooiiiingLou.

But the causes that led to it are apparent. The popular mind is ntlll brooding over the 0'ieit murder yet unpunished, and over the murder of Aarou Goodfellow, a nobte citizen, for whose murder Paiwy Devine was couvicted and sentenced to haug. Tiie decislou of tne Supreme Court reversing the judguieut on a Uinisy tecuuicallty not coinprcucuMble by orUinaav citizens, was the straw. This came on Friday, and was generally published Saturday. ileforo people Coul 1 understand wh.it that decision meant, aud while they only knew that the murderer of Goodfellow was as good as turned loose scot free, came the terriuie tragedy, the killing of Jailer r'rank.

This fairiy craved certain classes of people, aud the mob followed. OTHEB CRIhliNAL DOINGS. MOLLIS IIOLiSKOOS. Xew York, Oct. 2.

NAVAL APPOINTMENTS. ecial Telegram to The inter Ocean. Washtnoton, Oct. 2. While the politicians are bnsy making np Cabinet slates, naval circles are not idle.

From an authentic source it is learned that the following appointments will be recommended to the President: Captain F. M. Ramsay, en route to th. United States in the Trenton. to: succeed Bear Admiral B.

P. Bodgcrs as Superintendent of the Naval Academy; Captain J. G. Walker, to succeed Captain Whiting, as iniei oi tn. isureau of Navigation, ana director James Watmongh.

to be Paymaster General of the Navy, vice Cutter, retired. Notwithstanding the fact that the above predictions emanate from a most reliable source, a rumor was current last night that Rear Admiral Nichols, now acting Secretary of the Navy, would be selected to succeed Rear Admiral Bodrers as Superintendent of the Naval Academy. The theory advanced is that thebde tail is the most desirous one in the service, and as it will be more than three years before Admiral Nichols is retired, he is the most available officer of his rank. As Superintendent of the Academy his pay would be greater than he receives now. for he would receive foil sea pay, whereas he only get.

pay for shore duty now: besides, a handsome residence and other conveniences are furnished him. and it is not likely the Admiral would refuse the position were it offered htm, although it cannot be said he seeks lfc PRESIDENT ARTHUR. New York. Oct 2. President Arthur remained at home to day.

Oct. 2. W. H. Vanderbilt was asked by a reporter yesterday if he was willing to make any reply to Garrett's charges published Saturday.

He said: "I have no formal answer. What I have heretofore stated, at different times, covers my position, and meets anything he may say. I have glanced over Garrett's communication, bnt have not had time to read it carefully. 1 am a practical business man. and cannot devote myself exclusively to literary pursuits.

His views are expressed with such volumes of words that it would be almost impossible for anyoae to have time sufficient to read them and also run a railroad. 1 think one cause of the failure of the Presidents of the trunk lines to arrce is the exhaustion produced by Garrett's interminable talks at their meetings. There are no diilerences of opinion among us on this point at least. I gather the Impression that most of the matters treated of by him are ancient history, and not accurately reported at that. If the New York Central has stood alone at the trunk line nieetinss, It has generally beea upon questions alf ectlng not only its welfare but that of the State aud city of New York a well.

Its efforts to protest or resist encroachments upon commerce which rightfully belonn to this port always encounter the hostility of roads wuose interests are identical with the cities of their States, which arc their natural termini. These linen, and especially the Baltimore and Ohio, seek, by EXPENSIVE CONNECTIONS, to reach territory naturally served by the New York Central aud Its connections, and then strike at it in two ways by secretly cnttinir rates, first in the diversions of traffic from New Y'ork to their own cities, aud next by lower contracts to oar own point. and termini. When we discover this violation of good aud make our rates couform to theirs, they naturallv cry out we are demoralizing business aud ruining properties. No matter whether it is New York, New Kugland, Philadelphia, or Piiuruore business, all we ask is that it shall be fairly adjusted, and If adjustment Is not maintained, it will be because the New York Central discovers, aa it did prior to tiio cresent so called war, that it was beluc cheated, aud somebody had broken falth.

We have cut no rates; we have met them. Whatever anv other line was willing to carry for, we were ready to follow on the same terms, li, at the same rates, a larger share of business comes to us than is easant fur our rivals, we cannot help it: oniy they cannot expect us to submit quietly to their efforts tc establish equilibrium by stickiug a knife into one of our arteries.

Andrew Miller, the head of the firm of Killer Brothers, ship builders and dry dock proprietors in Chicago, departed this life on Fridsy night last He had been ailing for a long time past, and the immense business of the firm has been conducted by Thomas Miller and Bryce Miller. Death was not unexpected, bnt nevertheless the various branches of the large Miller family feel their bereavement none the less; and the hosts of friends and acquaintances here in Chicago, at all Lake Michigan ports, at Oswego, and indeed all over the chain of lakes, will learn the fact witb sincere pain and regret.

TEE SITUATION. Grain freights remain lifelesss. Owing to the high prices of grain here in Chicago it cannot be shipped at a profit, and vessels, of course. cannot get It to scarry. Cp cargoes of coal are plenty, however, with rates ruling at $1.403 1.43 from Ruffalo to Chicago from other ports proportionately high and the shipping is not "going to the dogs, as some of the papers would have the outside public understand.

The only charter reported on Saturday was that of the profiler Lycoming for a lot of corn to Erie, the rate accepted being about hjc The agent took the lot as ballast. Steam craft most keep moving, and. inasmuch as the regular line propellers have blg.paylng freight, of general merchandise to bring up from linffalo and Erie, ihev can carry grain down at rate, even as low as c. There is detention in the iron ore trade, there being so many craft in it, but vessels go ins from here for ore. taking It to laXe porta and returning with coal, are claimed to do verv well.

Grain freieht. are low lust now. bnt coal freights are high, and ore and lumber freights help out. LAUNCHES. THS HON TVO ALPHA.
