The bank of Joseph was robbed by three men, between 2:30 and 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. One of tho robbers was shot dead, another one wounded and the third escaped with the swag toward the mountains. From all ac counts it was a most daring piece of work. Three men came up to the bank together with their faces black ened, as means of disguise. There were four customers in the bank at the time. They were ordered under cover of a double-barrelled shotgun to throw up their hands and the same injunction was given to J. D. Mc Cully, acting cashier. Ono of the robbers climbed over the railing and got access to the cash drawer aud vault and u third one stood guard at the door. The cashier wa3 compelled, to open up all receptacles likely to contain money, and all of the funds on hand amounting -to about $2000 was swept Into a sack which tho rob- bar carried. In the meantime people on the out side discovered what was going on, two men, Fred Wagner, armed with repeating rifle and also Donelly, with shot gun, prepared to give the band its a warm reception as they emerged from the bank. Four persons In the bankjffernmrchedoujtajiead.and as the robber who had the sack, named iWvn, came out he was immediately shot down. The roobcr who guarded the door, named Tucker, also fell from bullet wound but the third robber Cy. Fitzhugh, ran and grabbed the sack and dropping his gun reached his horse and escaped. In the fulisade between the robbers and citizens, about 23 shots were exchanged. Before attempting the Job the rob. bers. had stacked some guns and am munition outside of town where they expected to make a stand In case they were pursued. Fitzhugh the fleeing bandit, went to this place and re-armed himself and struck for the mountains In directlonof Cornucopia. At the time of leaviug he took a shot at a citizen who chanced to be coming In his direction, but the bullet did no further damage than to pass through his clothing. A posse started In pur suit and followed Fitzhugh till late last night, but no '.news from them has yet'beeu received. Tucker, the wounded robber, made a clean breast of the plan or the rob bery. All three of the highwaymen have been In Wallowa for wmic time. By this time the report that the bank was being robbed had reached the citizens, several of whom armed themselves and awaited tho appear ance of the robbers. As the robbers made their exit from the bank, Alex Donnelly, a man 25 years old, opened Are, killing one of the robbers Instantly, and wounding another, hitting the latter twice. The third robber, who had the sack containing the coin, succeeded in reaching and mounting a horse, after dropping his gun. He then made off over the hills toward rralrle creek, afterward turning toward Cornu copia. The robber who was killed was named Brown, and the ono who es caped is Cy Fitzhugh. The latter had been working for Mrs. Proebstel, on Prairie creek. The name or the wounded robber is unknown, although TUfM- (JfUtUI v been he is recognized as having around Joseph for home time. The escaped robber Is described as being a low, Wavy-set man, with sandy hair aud mustache, of medium weight, r feet Inches In helghl, weighs about 150 pounds, and is about 23 years old. Ha wore a black coat and small slouclr hat, and was riding a small horse. A reward of $500 has been offejed for his capture aud the return of the mdnjy.

The young ladles of Stayton gave one of the most delightful leap year hay-ride parties or tho season Tuesday evening. They were bound to have a good time, and thoy had it. The young ladles embarked for Mr. Kerns1 home, on Broadway, attracting a large crowd of onlookers, while enroutc for the young men. They had a spirited team and they wero bedecked with all the bells obtainable in town. The evening was perfect. The ringing of tho merry bells, and the cheering or the crowd could be heard for a mile In the stillness or tho .night. On tho way down every song that any one thought of was on the program, and the selections of muslo were so charm ing that the watchj( dogs along the road arose from their-slumbers and joined In the chorus. About three miles from town, on -the Turner road, the party camped in an open space, among the trees, where tho girls built a boulire, which fairly illuminated the heavens, and no doubt caused tho rowlsor the air to imagine the world was coming to an end. When all were comfortably settled around "the old camp Are," sonic roasted corn on tho points or long sticks, and baked pota toes In the hot ashes others amused themselves by playing out-door games Until the luncheon hour, when tho ladies produced an especially prepared lunch and a huge coffee boiler, from which hot coffee was served to the hungry crowd. It was hard work for the driver, Miss (?) Thomas, to make the crowd believe the time was at hand to return home. Tho hours passed away so quickly that few thought or leaving. It looked for a while as ir the only way was to walk home or go without tho crowd. The moon reminded the party that it was morning and all wero soon ready to make for town. On the way home a series of church hyms were sung by all, ending with "Lord I'm Happy on the Way." The wagon stopped at the respective homes or the members or the com pany. Several invitations were ex tended to stop in for breakrast. The following were .among the party: Mr. and Mrs. Mann.chaperone; MIssob Sadie Thorpe, Ella Balsley, Cora Cooper, Minnie Magers, Laura Derby shire, Ollle Robertson, Susie Kerns, Pearl Hobson, Mary Crabtrec and Tempest Dunlvln. Messrs. Giles Thomas. Joe Kerns, Dayld Smith, Roy King, Charlie Brown, Dell Bal sley, Ell Smith, Jean Titus, Mr. Mul key And Mr. Crowder. ii m 1 Watson Will Not .Withdraw. Washington, Oct. 2.

Many Families Destitute Appeal for Aid. 111 llftMWt W OASTOniA. GZa&tfffl&tK Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 2. Cedar Keys, Is a place or desolation and death. A mighty tidal wave swept over the town Tuesday morning. Twenty corpses have been rocovercd, 12 whites and 8 colored. The loss of life at Cedar Keys Is as nothing in comparison with a number of spongers and fishermen drowned, of 100 vessels anchored on sponge bar, below Cedar Keys, all but twenty were lost, the boats carried from four to ten men each. Most of tho victims wore bur led deep In the mud and many bodied will probably never bo recovered Beyond the bar thero aro a score of masts visible just above water and each top indicates the burial place of a sponging schooner and Its crow, It is possible, but hardly probably, many vessels were blown out into the gulf, and rode out the hurricane. It is ex pected that for several days to come, corpses of spongers will bo found along the coast. In Cedar Keys thoso who escaped death had some terrible experiences. When the tidal wave came and overwhelmed the houses, many of the Inmates floated into tho water, clinging to pieces of timber? Others clung to troo tops for hours until tho water receded. They wero buffeted by wind and waves aud many men fainted, clinging oven while un conscious, with a deatli grip to tho succumbing limbs. Many aro still unaccounted for and their famlllse and friends aro filled with anxiety, hopelng for tho best, but fearing the worst. In view of tho utter destruction wrought by tuo storm It seems miraculous that there should bo a single person allvo in Cedar Kays to-day. Reliable news from the Western party of Levy and Alachul counties have Just reached Jacksonville. Not less than 200 fam ilies arc destitute. Scores of Injuries have been reported, with over thirty fatalities in Levy county. The town of Necdtnorc was demol ished. Every house at Yulare, Jud son and Chlefland were destroyed, with one or two exceptions, killing people In both places. The people of Bronson have Issued an appeal for aid. Reports from Parker, Suanee, Nassau and Columbia counties, confirm the story of death and destruction. The deatli list lias been increased nearly a dozen. Columbia county fared very badly. All the country south of Lake City Is deyastated. In the Caleb and Marcum nelchborhood scarcely a residence or house Is left standing. In the vicinity of Payne aud Mount Tabor postoftlces, the destruction was great. Exclusive of hundreds of spongers, supposed to havo been drowned off Cedar Keys, the death list in the state proper, bids fair to reach 100. The property loss will run Into millions. The people seem par alyzed by tho calamity. The Bryan Party. Ciiakleston, W. Va., Oct. 2. At the depot in this city for more than au hour a large crowd waited for the Bryan party. When the train pulled, in the assemblage cheered and uands played patriotic airs. A procession was formed and tho town was tra versed by the band, the nominee, mounted police and citizens carriages. At the public park Bryuu addressed about 30,000 enthusiastic auditors. Fusion in New Ywk.

AN "OLD LETTER" FROM- THE MAJOR, Does Not Interest McKinley Now, but Shows He Was a "Sliver Anarchist" in 1890. Akkon, O., Sept. 29. Much interest was aroused at a meeting addressed by Senator Teller at this place today, when a letter was read by General E. B. F. Flnley which had been written by Major McKinley to E. S. Perkins, or Weymouth, Medina county, In tho fall of 1890. Mr. Perkins was at that time a representative in tho Ohio legislature. Ho had written to Major McKinley regarding Ills position on tho silver question. Tho major's letter was In reply: Committee on ways and means, house or representatives, Washington, December 27, 1890. Hon. E. S. Perkins, Weymouth, Ohio Dear Sir: I havo been so busy ror the past three weeks that it lias been Impossible for me to give any attention to matters In tho district, which fact I believe my friends will appreciate. I have been waiting for n moment's timo that I might answer two or three letters heretofore received from gentlemen in Medina county In relation to my position on the sliver and other questions. 1 HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN FAVOR OF THE FREE AND UN LIMITED COINAGE OF THE SILVER PRODUCT OF THE UNITED STATES, AND II AVE SO VOTED ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS DURING THE TIME I HAVE BEEN IN PUBLIC LIFE. I was not willing to extend this coinage to the silver or the world, aud open our mints to foreign countries, without charge, as proposed by gentle men on the floor or tho house. My purpose was to secure immediate legis lation that would credit and dignify our silver coin. I bellovo tho law which wo enacted this session will accomplish that result. It utilizes every dollar's worth or tho silver product or tho United States and oven more. Tho value of that legislation has always been apparent In tho enhanced valuo given to silver. You may remember, as Indicating my position on this subject, that I voted to pass the silver bill In the forty-iirth and forty-sixth congresses over tho veto of President Hayes. I shall lw very glad to write you at any tlmo upon any subject you may wish to bo Informed upon. With mo political and economic questions are a conviction, and whllo I may not always bo right, I am always willing to let thoso whoso suffrage I seek know exactly what thoy aro. Yours truly, Wm. MoKinlsy, Jr. Canton, Sept. 29. Major McKinley had nothing to say about the pub lished letter said to havo been written by him to S. E. Perkins six years agoi except that if it was a true copy of the original It doubtless expressed his views at tho time. BTATE NEWS. The total taxable property in Clat sop county Is $4,124,258.
