Jk Diamond Robbery.
Xew Yoek, Xov. 15. A package
which ought to haro contained dia
monds, to the amount of about $30,
030, was shipped on board the steamer
City of Chester, and consigned to the
firm of Strasburg & Co., Maiden Lane,
New York, was, on opening it in the
examining room of the appraisers' de
partment, found to be stuffed with pa
per. The package is rather a dispro
portionately large wooden box,
wrapped in paper, the cover of which
appeared to be sealed and the seals
were apparently intact. It was re
ceived at the public stores in Washing
ton street in the same condition in
which it was when opened.
The purser of the steamship testfiod
to receiving a wooden box in such sus
piciously bad order that he refused to
receive it, but after having concluded
to receive it, he deemed it indispensi
ble to cover it with a strong paper
wrapper; which he sealed in order to
increase the safety of the supposed
contents of the package.
Hanging: i f BraTO Bear.
Yaxkton, Dak, Nov. 15. Brave
Bear, the Sioux chief, convicted of the
murder of jos. Johnson on the 10th of
May, wa3 hanged to-day in the jail
yard. The execution was private. He
was taken from the jail to the United
States marshal's office, and there bound
with straps, leaving his feet free so he
could walk to the scaffold. After his
arms were pinioned he called for a man
who could talk Indian, and with
but little delay an interpreter
was procured from the outside
and Brave Bear had a few moments
conversation with him in the Sioux
language., lie made no confession but
did not deny the deed. He asked the
interpreter to send word to his people
to make no attempt to avengo his
death and omit all mourning exercises.
He also asked that a message he had
sent to his people be conveyed to the
President of the United States
that the Great Father might
know he had lived a good Indian . He
mounted the scaffold with a firm tread
and stood upon the trap while
the rope was adjusted about
his neck and the black cap
was drawn over his face. Most of the
attend ints sta.'psd bac'x to the side
of the platform. It was necessary for
a couple of officers to stand near him.
In nervous agitation he caught hold of
the dropping rope as it swung in front
of him and clung to it with the fingers
of his pinioned hands. The officers re
leased his hold and moved the rope out
of his reach. A priest advanced to his
side and whispered a few words" of
prayer ana then stepped back to the
edge of the platform. The offi
cer in charge of the string
rang the bell in the marshal's!
office. A man concealed in the room,
in response to the signal, jerked the
rope attached to the trigger under the
scaffold, and at 12:30 o'clock P. M. the
drop . fell. The Indian shot through
the opening, and as the rope pulled
taut there was a crashing. He strug-
gled for a few moments but the end
came quickly. Soon there was nothing
but a convulsive twitching of the mus
cles. In fifteen minutes he was
pronounced dead. Fifteen minutes
later the body was cut down and de
livered to the undertaker, who caused
it to be buried in the Catholic cemetery.
There was little excitement attending
the execution. Everything was order
ly. The affair was conducted without
accident. This is the first instance
where an Indian has been hung in Da
kota for a crime against a white man.

A. Bl Verdict.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 15. In the
common pleas court, judgment for
$150,000 was rendered to day against
J. W. Batcheldor and surites on his
bond, as the former cashier of the
Planter's bank, which went into litiga
tion some years ago. Irregularities on
the part of Louis llehan, jr., teller of
the bank, caused heavy losses, and in
the liquidation of the affairs, a suit
was brought against Batcheldor and
his securities, to recover the losses, by
parties affected, on the ground of lack
of close supervision of the teller's ac
counts by the cashier. The first and
second trials, the jury failed to make a
verdict, on a third trial the verdict
was for tho plaintiff but the
court of appeals reversed the
decision, and granted a new trial.which
resulted as stated above. Batcheldor
and others, the defendants, are gentle
men of high standing in Kentucky.
The defaulting teller who was in
trouble, was arrested, charged with
robbing the bank of about $90,000 in
one night, in addition to other defal
cations. The money taken was recov
ered, and he was arrested and gave
bonds. An investigation of the books
brought to light bis other alleged
wrongful transactions, resulting in the
suit mentioned.
Was It a Suicide.
Dexver, Col., Nov. 15. This morn
ing a lady who occupies room No. 7 in
the Walbach block, at 16th and Chain-
pa streets, became alarmed at a very
strong smell of gas in the building.
She spoke to a physician, whose office
is in the same building, and asked Lim
to try and discover where the gas was
escaping. The doctor traced the odor
to rooms No. 5 and 6, which have
been occupied by Dr. G. W.Wiener.
The doors of both rooms were locked,
and the transoms were closed. The
doctor forced the doors open, and
found the apartments, which were
connected by an open door filled with
gas. In the other room he fonnd an
Arjrand tris burner, sitting on the
table, with the gas turned on, but not
lighted. On a lounge in one corner
of the room, lay Dr. Wiener, in an in
sensible condition. The doctor done
all that could be done to revive the
physician but to no purpose. He re
mained unconscious till 1 o'clock this
afternoon when he died. Dr. Wiener
was about 35 years of age and wa3 un
married. Some think it was a suicide,
but those who know him best, how
ever, think death the result of an acci
dent. Crazed WltU Drink.

Olsen, wife and three children, arrived
here late Sunday night from Minneap
olis, and put up at the Vanderbilt Ho

visible in Hayti some time and is very
large and brilliant. As we came north
ward it diminished in size and bright
ness and appeared to be moving in a
more southerly direction over Hayti.
It Wiis seen as late as 10 o'clock in the
morning, and appeared much larger
than on our approach to New York.

days have come. After the comet last
year they had small-pox and lost up

dominion. They always look upon the
comet as a bad omen, and are at a loss
to know what trouble this one will
bring them."
