MARKET-STREET BANK THE SCENE The Cashier and Book-Eeeper Shut the Vault The Thieves Helped Themselves. San Fbancisco, Feb. 18. Three masked men entered the Market-street bank, a small institution in the Spreck els building, shortly after 10 o'clock this morning and ordered Cashier Hopkins and Book-keeper Hayhurst to throw up their hands. Hopkins, who was at the counter, refused, and one robber fired a bullet past bis bead, but which struck neither official. The three robbers then climed through a hole in the wire screen at the cashier's window and seized the two bank officials and hustled them into the vault. A piece of carpet caught in the door of the vault, and the robbers did not take time to fasten the vault door. Hastily dump ing the pile of gold on the' cashier's counter into a sack they escaped. Although Market street was crowded with passing people the robbers made good their escape. It is supposed they secured only $800. CONFESSED TO MUKDEB. An Meet- Unusual Scene at a Revival log. Cedar Falls, Feb. 18. When Mort Trnesdell, of Kenosha, Wis., confessed at a revival meeting to the murder of a man named Sheldon, at Leadville, Colo., September 10, 1890, he said : "I have been trying to lead a Chiis tianlife for several years, but have been conscious all the time that I was a great sinner. I am guilty of murder and ready to surrender myself to the officers. I want to serve the Lord, and cannot do it without leaving off this awful burd en." To a reporter Trnesdell afterward made the following confession : "I first met the man I murdered at Springfield, 111., the 28th day of July, 1890. He and I traveled from there to Colorado together, I had been a private detective in Wisconsin. I was still a de tective, but had no authority outside of that state. The fellow's name was Bill Sheldon or Shelton, I don't know which. At Tennessee Pass I was ' taken sick with mountain fever. I was Bick only one night. Sheldon was then with me, and while I was in bed he rifled my pockets, taking some private letters which contained matter showing I was a a detective, I did not know he took the letters until we had trouble the next day. In the morning we started afoot for Leadville. When within a few miles of that city I gave out and could go no further. Sheldon began swearing at me and spoke of the letters he had taken from my pockets. "He said he bad found out that I was a detective, nd would give him the worst of it for the crooked cases ho had told me of. He became enraged, and as hecanaein front of me with a knife, I pul'--1 a revolver and shot him in the he: I fired two shots. The first bullet strui-1. him in the temple. The other took effect in the back of the head. After the shooting, I laid down the re volver by Sheldon's side, and took the knife and a watch and rode into Lead ville with a farmer. I do not know whether the body was ever found or not." A. Coal Mine Horror in Colorado. Denver, Feb. 18. A special to the News from Newcastle, Colo., says : An explosion occurred at the Vulcan mine at 11 :20 this morning vhich was the most disastrous in the history of this, camp. Tonight dozens of homes in the little city were desolated. Men who this morning left their homes with not a thought of danger or the awful death that so surely awaited them, are now lying lifeless at the bottom of Vulcan Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report MW;rCJ rax 11 Cs iigszsssa ii slope. All business is practically sus pended ; every one is dazed at the awful ness of the disaster. No warning was given the peaceful villagers until the sudden report as from a hundred cannons resounded through out the valley, making tba earth trem ble. The force of the explosion had caused a cave-in and the tunnel and air courses were filled with fallen earth and timbers. Both fan houses were wrecked and the slope and vicinity were so full of debris, and the gas so bad that it was hard and dangerous work to begin the rescue. Netherless, willing hands were soon at work and five men went down at once to ascertain the condition of the slope and found it such that it will re quire much labor to regain the miners. The gas was so bad that after the party had gotten 200 feet they were compelled to recede. " The construction of a temporary fan house was commenced at once and the work of pumping fresh air into the mine will soon begin. It is hardly possible that any of the miners are still alive. The only man who got out of the - mine at the time "of the explosion was Ed. Welch, who was near the month of the tunnel and was blown out.'. He was breathing when found, but expired shortly after. - Forty-eight men were in the mine when the explosion occurred. As soon j as the news of the explosion reached Newcastle, Supt. Paul Blount closed the mines of the Colorado Fuel & Iron com pany, and taking in all his miners, left for the Vulcan mine, where all are ac tively at work aiding in the attempt at rescue. The cause of the explosion is not yet known. The coal fieldB in which the Vulcan is located have been troubled with subterranean fires for years. In manyplaces over a distance of eighty to 100 miles smoke has issued from crevices in the rocks since the country was first known to white men and in later years more. than one valuable -coal mine has been destroyed by fire breaking into the workings.
